Su Buqing is a mathematician with the same name as Hua Luogeng, and has the reputation of "the first geometrist in the East" and "the king of mathematics".
Master Su himself confessed: Literature and history are the wings that helped me ascend to the temple of mathematics, it helped me to open up my ideas and deepen my understanding of mathematics...
Master Su, a talented teenager from a poor background, not only got a doctorate in Japan, but also married a white rich and beautiful wife with his skills in the arts and sciences. After the two returned to China, they experienced hardships such as war and the Cultural Revolution, and they always frothed with each other...
01
Su Buqing was born on September 23, 1902 in an ordinary peasant family in the Yandang Mountains of Pingyang, Zhejiang Province. When he was in the third year of junior high school in Zhejiang Provincial Tenth Middle School, his mathematical talent attracted great attention from the principal, Hong Yanyuan. A middle school student actually made the principal sigh his talent, presumably a genius teenager, so the principal specially arranged for teachers to tutor him.
In 1919, Su Buqing graduated from middle school, and Principal Hong, who had been transferred out of the school, still remembered this unique talent, so he funded fundraising and sent him to Japan to study.
In 1920, Su Buqing arrived in Japan, and only three months later, he passed the Japanese language pass and was admitted to the Department of Electrical Engineering of the Tokyo Higher Professional School in Japan with the first title.
In 1924, Su Buqing was admitted to the Department of Mathematics of Northeast Imperial University. As a well-established famous school, there are many talents, and Su Bu youth took the first place, and inadvertently he became "someone else's child" in a foreign land.
As Su Buqing's teacher, Professor Matsumoto always praised this Chinese student in front of his family. Yonako Matsumoto, the jewel in the palm of Professor Matsumoto,is a talented person, especially good at playing the guzheng, playing on the radio many times, and is a well-known Shiratomi.
Before seeing him, he heard his voice first, and every time his father praised Su Buqing, he made Yonako have a great interest in this mysterious young man.
Until after a party, the two met. Under the conversation, Fang Zhi actually had so many tacit understandings, from Chinese calligraphy and tea classics to Japanese tea ceremonies and flower arrangements, Su Buqing interspersed his own poetry and song from time to time, which was simply not too cool.
The more Su Buqing and Yonako talked, the more they called, and the CP of caizi was officially released.
Under the interaction, Su Buqing found that the Yonago girl was generous and understanding, without the squeamishness and willfulness of a rich lady.
One day, Yonago asked Su Buqing, "Why are you studying mathematics so desperately?" Do you really find it a lot of fun there? “
Of course, Su Buqing did not mention reading for the rise of China, but said lightly: "China's development needs mathematics, and when you combine mathematics with national fortunes, you will find out how rich and unforgettable this field is." “
Yonako was stunned, "Learning mathematics is actually related to Guoyun Qiang!" "It's really refreshing."
From this, Yonako believes that this Mr. Su has lofty ambitions and is talented, and is definitely a reliable person who can rely on lifelong events.

To tell the truth, Professor Matsumoto really did not want to marry his daughter to Su Buqing. Marrying a chicken with a chicken, marrying a dog with a dog, marrying Su Buqing means that "the female line is worried about the father of a thousand miles", the bitterness of missing is too hurtful, and it cannot be hurt.
However, after Mrs. Matsumoto met Su Buqing, she thought that this person was reliable and worthy of her daughter's lifelong trust. Although Mrs. Matsumoto is only a housewife, she definitely has the right to speak in front of her husband, and her daughter's marriage is so fixed.
In 1928, Su Buqing married Yonago girl. Fearing that his relatives would ridicule Su Buqing as a Chinese, he did not dare to reveal his true nationality. Until Su Buqing received his doctorate in science, Japanese newspapers reported his achievements in black and white. Only then did the relatives know his true identity: "Why didn't such a powerful Chinese tell us earlier?" ”
The next year, the eldest daughter Dejing was born, a family of three, and they were happy and harmonious. The favorite guzheng is no longer played, the favorite calligraphy is not practiced, and the Yonako girl only insists on the tea ceremony and flower arrangement, because both of which are beneficial to the husband's body and mind.
Whenever the night is quiet, Su Buqing swims in his mathematical kingdom, Yonako girl will always send him a cup of fragrant tea or a cup of milk, "red sleeves add incense to the night reading" said that this is the realm!
In the days after marriage, Su Buqing found four (third-order) algebraic cones in the study of general surfaces. This achievement has caused great repercussions in the international mathematical community, known as "Su Cone Surface".
In the military merit badge, there is half of you, and there is also half of the Yonago girl, which is absolutely beyond doubt. The power of love makes Su Buqing like a tiger.

In 1931, Su Buqing got a doctorate and published 41 papers on differential geometry, which were published in world-renowned journals, and it can be said that he has a certain reputation in the international mathematical community.
The Matsumoto family all wanted Su Buqing to stay in Japan and develop, so that Yonako would not have to leave her hometown. In his early years, Su Buqing had met with his senior Chen Jiangong and returned to China to build a world-class mathematics department. Where to go now is a question.
Seeing that her husband did not think about tea and rice, Yonako girl must have felt that something was wrong. Under all kinds of persuasion, Su Buqing had no choice but to put his thoughts and thoughts out.
Yonako girl, I am very grateful to her husband for being able to speak his heart to himself without reservation. Touched, she said: "I support your decision, because I love you, and you love China, so I also love China." Rest assured, I will follow you wherever you go. ”
With such an understanding wife, what can the husband ask for? With the support of Yonako, Su Buqing returned to China as he wished to develop and taught at Zhejiang University. During the summer vacation, he went to Japan to pick up his family, in September 1931.
Relying on the benchmark of the steamship, Su Buqing gave a poem -
The ferry is cloudy and the seabirds fly, and the spring color of the river is faint.
Ten years on the island junxiu laughed, winning sideburns and cloth clothes.
Shortly after the Su couple settled in Hangzhou, the 918 incident occurred. Su Buqing looked at his wife, it was really lucky, almost couldn't come back. And the Yonako girl was even more afraid: "If you hesitate, you really can't come back." ”
To choose a person is to choose a way of life. After the Yonago girl came to China, the first thing she faced was the food barrier.
At first, Yonago hated Chinese milk rot and thought it was too dirty. Su Buqing had to carry out "milk rot transformation", first removing the upper layer of skin, and then adding sugar. In this way, Yonako gradually fell in love with this "delicacy".
Peeled eggs, which Japan does not have, are also new to Yonago. Three or four times at a time, gradually, Yonako also got used to the familiar aroma of the peeled egg.
At the Japanese consulate in Hangzhou, someone sent someone to contact Yonako: "You are Japanese, it is not convenient to eat in China, come to us in the morning to eat." "But Yonako, still married to eat, not so much mannerism."
When she was in Japan, Yonako bathed every day, a habit that she had developed over the years. After coming to China, Su Buqing asked someone to make a bathtub out of an iron bucket in order to let his wife take a bath. Although she can wash it once a week, Yonako is content. Sentient beings are full of water, which is what we are talking about.

After the beginning of the War of Resistance, the peaceful life was shattered by the gunfire of the Japanese invaders. Su Buqing moved to Guizhou with Zhejiang University, while Yonako returned to Pingyang, Zhejiang Province, with her children alone.
The relatives in her hometown welcomed this Chinese daughter-in-law with great enthusiasm, and they helped her take care of all the housework, washing vegetables, collecting rice, cooking, and someone quietly did it well.
Feeling the warmth of Yonako, I always want to do something for the villagers to show my gratitude.
After the founding of New China, Su Buqing, who was already teaching in Fudan, settled in Shanghai. As long as there are relatives coming to the door, Yonako will personally greet and arrange accommodation, never expressing boredom.
The villagers in Pingyang will always joke: If it were not for the old lady of the Su family, we really would not be able to enter the door of the Su family, Mr. Su is too busy. This is a postscript.
Wartime life was very hard, Su Buqing was busy with teaching and scientific research, and he couldn't take care of his home. Babysitter, is unaffordable. The eight children's food, clothing, and education are all managed by Yonako alone.
Since the War of Resistance, Yonako has not made new clothes. The family did not know that Chai Mi Gui, she wanted to save money to spend on her husband and children
During the Cultural Revolution, Su Buqing was beaten into a reactionary authority and sent to jiangnan shipyard for labor reform. Every day, he came out early and returned late, taking the bus to the shipyard to work, rain or shine. And Yonako has a white head overnight, but it is still the husband's needle of the sea god. Every day, she guarded the glimmer of her home, waiting for the return of her husband.
Years of hard work and worry have made Yonako's health poor. In Su Buqing's view, "Yonako sacrificed everything she had, helped herself achieve a little success in teaching and scientific research in the difficult years, and also took on the heavy responsibility of educating eight children." Without Yonago, I wouldn't have been able to produce so many students and achieve results in mathematical research. “
Every word and deed is a promise, and it will be seen by another person and remembered in the heart.
In 1982, Yonako was bedridden. Every day at 4:30 p.m., Su Buqing would always rush to the hospital to accompany his wife and accompany the attendants.
On May 22, 1986, Yonako left the world at the age of 81. Sons and daughters, they are worried about the two old people who have been together all their lives, what will happen when they lose another person?
On June 2, in a letter to his eldest daughter Dejing, Su Buqing said: "Dad had a better time during the day, either at home to prepare for the training class for middle school math teachers, or to go to school to do this and that, to forget his worries." However, in the middle of the night, when you wake up, it is difficult to sleep again! I thought about it repeatedly on the pillow, but I couldn't feel the tears, and the sadness pressed down on me alone. Still, I'm confident in trying to overcome this pessimism. “
Busy, will dilute the sadness. This is Su Buqing's method of stopping worries. At the same time, Su Buqing took his wife's photo with him at all times, "I deeply appreciate the words of living in my heart, just like my wife attends classes with me and attends meetings."
On March 17, 2003, Su Buqing passed away at the age of 101. In another world, he finally met his wife.
