As of 2020, a total of 57 women have won Nobel Prizes, including 4 physics prizes, 7 chemistry prizes, 12 physiology or medicine prizes, 16 literature awards, 17 peace prizes, and only Tu Youyou has won the Nobel Prize in medicine with artemisinin in China.
However, because the Nobel Prize is harsh on Asians, especially for China, China's outstanding women often do not even have the opportunity to accompany them, so once someone rushes out with a strong momentum, it will immediately get attention, such as Hunan female writer Ren Xue nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature, and another is Nie Hualing nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
If you want to ask why she can be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, there are actually two factors, one is her life experience, as a person born in 1925, the life waves to experience are really a book that can't be said, there is no end to the article, and the other is what she did after experiencing the ups and downs of life, which is the key to her nomination. So now let's start telling her story:
First, the life
Nie Hualing was born in the magnificent and sad, beautiful and miserable Republic of China period, Magnificent and aesthetic in her family is a family family, her father served in the Wuhan Garrison Headquarters, she has a rich childhood life, can ride on the back of the maid, the shoulder of the maid to play around, can try a variety of novel foreigners, but also receive the most advanced education.
However, the sadness and misery is that her mother was tricked into the second room, that day she was so aggrieved that she even wanted to swallow gold to commit suicide, she actually suffered from all kinds of discrimination since she was a child, and she had to endure the bullying of her brother from the long house, "dead boy", "fox spirit" and "concubine" are the dirty words she often hears and perceives later, her father is extremely indifferent to them, and when he dies, her mother forces her to go to study abroad.
Although the mother's starting point is good, everything about Nie Hualing was obtained by going out to study this time, that is, in 1939, everything that was novel opened up Nie Hualing's life, she knew poetry, she knew the novel, she knew how moving the words had, her spiritual flesh was washed again, and she began to transform from body to heart.
Her advanced patriotic ideas prompted her to throw herself into the anti-Japanese activities, although she was a girl, although she was a literati, she also insisted on doing what a literati girl could do, whether it was a demonstration or a condolence to the wounded, she was obliged, although she lived in poverty, ate a bun as hard as a bomb, the wind and rain, the skirt was wet and did not replace, but she never fell.
Second, love
However, love is so changeable, it always turns from flowers into a sharp sword, let people be pierced in the defenseless, nie Hualing, who was studying in the Department of Foreign Languages of Central University at that time, was beautiful, like a small white flower in the wind, stubborn and beautiful, attracted to the classmate Wang Zhenglu, Nie Hualing was also impressed by this boy who often called her outside the class, and married him in 1948.
But this marriage is not happy, Wang Zhenglu's family is a typical traditional big family, three generations of the same church, she this new era of women have to get up early in the morning every day to serve the old lady, and pee, freshen up and wipe herself, she is not unwilling to do these jobs, but no one feels to thank her, all act as if she is a maid, this feeling makes her confused.
At that time, she rushed from Nanjing to Beiping, it can be said that she was "sent to the door", it may be such an act, giving Wang Zhenglu the illusion of "easy to get", in 1949 Nie Hualing followed Wang Zhenglu to Taiwan, they nestled in a small house, because of excessive poverty, she needed to work two jobs, pregnant and pedaling bicycles to and from work, but Wang Zhenglu had no pity for her.
Even at that time, Nie Hualing was more open-minded because she was educated, but Wang Zhenglu, who was also educated, still adhered to the old idea, she just sat down normally and chatted with the guests, she would be accused by him of not keeping the way of women, when they quarreled, Mr. Yin Haiguang, who lived next door, was angry and walked around: "Nie Hualing should be divorced!" ”
Third, enlightenment
She was not able to divorce, what was worse than the divorce was that she submitted for "Free China" at that time, because the unique and delicate text was highly sought after, and after the editor-in-chief of "Free China" was imprisoned, she was monitored, and Wang Zhenglu said that she was studying as early as 1957, in fact, she went to the United States with the runner, she supported the family alone, and endured this kind of spiritual imprisonment.
But it is also this experience that made her reborn, although there is no husband, she still has a mother, although there is no mother, she still has friends, Liang Shiqiu, Tai Jingnong, they all bring great hope to Nie Hualing's life, she is also more involved in the writing career, and even have the courage to start a new love.
Her second husband was Paul Angle, when they first met, Nie Hualing was almost confused, Paul Angle was also middle-aged, but Paul Angle did not care at all, he even called her "my princess", stuttered when confessing, from full to dry lips are still humorous, from blue to gray blue eyes are still affectionate, Nie Hualing and he went to the United States.
Paul Ingres is also a lover of literature, he has always had a desire to develop Iowa into an important city of American literature, Nie Hualing was influenced by this, and on a whim suggested that he start an "International Writing Project", which has been participated in by more than 1400 writers and poets so far, and they can go to Iowa in the United States to live a carefree life after accepting the invitation.
4. Nomination
Because the International Writing Project is a worldwide project, the people involved in this project are regardless of gender, young nationality, ethnicity, so they can often collide with different sparks, the best thing is that there was an Egyptian, an Israeli, because the two countries were at war, so as soon as they met, the two people threw up a table and fought.
And they spent three months together, during which the sword and crossbow situation occurred from time to time, and it was more normal to fight with their tongues, but when they said goodbye, the two writers suddenly hugged their headaches and cried, which frightened everyone and did not say anything, and everyone also felt the relief, regret, forgiveness, and understanding in this cry, so they all had red eyes.
Later, in 1976, 300 writers in the world jointly elected Nie Hualing and his wife as candidates for the Nobel Peace Prize, this time their names were highly valued, although they could not do anyone else, but also an affirmation of their ideas and projects, Nie Hualing also became the first woman in Chinese history to nominate for the Nobel Prize, the Nobel Peace Prize.
In 1979, China and the United States established diplomatic relations, which was the happiest thing for Nie Hualing, she met Ding Ling, Wang Zengqi, Yu Guangzhong, Kitajima, although using an old computer, but Nie Hualing insisted on inviting them to eat and party in a large restaurant, Wang Zengqi later said to her: "Although in the United States for 20 years, but from the inside to the outside is Chinese." "Nie Hualing is indeed a great Chinese woman!
