Gu Linbing, former president of Tsinghua University, spoke highly of Yang Zhenning. "Mr Yang is a flag of scientists in China."
Yang Zhenning has made landmark contributions in particle physics, statistical mechanics and condensed matter physics. Some people say that Yang Zhenning was the third "all-rounder in physics" after Einstein and Fermi in the 20th century.
In a word, Yang Zhenning has been unanimously recognized by everyone in the scientific community, but Yang Zhenning has been criticized by everyone because of a teacher-student relationship, and some people questioned the process of his return to China. However, no matter how he evaluates it, his contribution is indelible.
Yang Zhenning's second marriage was his student. In fact, in his first marriage, he still married his own student. This relationship is known as "a match made in heaven".
Yang Zhenning is few and clever. His father is Yang Wuzhi, a famous mathematician and math educator.
Although her mother, Luo, has a low education level, she has always been adhering to the teachings of diligence and housekeeping and kept her family life in order. It can be seen that the charm of a woman lies not only in her enchanting appearance, but also in her ability to manage the family.
While his father Yang Wuzhi was busy with his career, his mother took on the responsibility of educating her children. When Yang Zhenning was four years old, his mother personally taught him to read and write. In more than a year, Yang Zhenning actually learned 3000 words.
The family atmosphere is harmonious, the mother teaches well and the father is strict. It is in this environment that Yang Zhenning is a "genius".
1928, Yang Zhenning's father came back from America. In the same year, he was admitted to Xiamen University with his father and entered the second grade of primary school. 1929, my father applied for Professor Tsinghua. Yang Zhenning grew up in Tsinghua campus, where the academic atmosphere is very strong.
Environment will also affect a person's growth. Yang Zhenning, like a small sapling, gradually grew into a towering tree in the spring breeze.
From 65438 to 0942, Yang Zhenning graduated from The National SouthWest Associated University, Kunming, and was admitted to the Department of Physics of Kunming University of Science and Technology (Tsinghua University Institute of Physics) as a graduate student, studying under Professor Wang Zhuxi.
1945 went to the United States on a boxer indemnity scholarship to study at the University of Chicago. Since then, he has made his own contribution to academic work.
1956, he and Li Zhengdao * * published a paper, which overthrew a central message of physics-the performance of conserved elementary particles in the universe is exactly the same as their mirror images.
1958 was elected as an academician of academia sinica in Taiwan Province province. Later, Yang Zhenning became an American citizen, and his father Yang Wuzhi died in 1973. He always advised his son not to leave China nationality, but Yang Zhenning went against his father's wishes for a reason, and his father was still worried about it before he died.
2065438+On August 26th, 2007, 95-year-old Yang Zhenning regained China citizenship and became a citizen of China.
Later, he became famous, lively, cheerful and beautiful. His father Du was a lieutenant general. She received a strict education since childhood and loved literature and music, which won the favor of Song Meiling, the wife of Chiang Kai-shek.
1944 After studying in National Southwest Associated University for six years, Yang Zhenning taught middle school mathematics for one year. At this time, Du Zhili was also studying in the High School Attached to The National SouthWest Associated University, and they met each other, but they hurried for a year, which did not leave a deep impression.
Du Zhili and Yang Zhenning met again in a foreign country. 1950 A thick Christmas atmosphere hangs over Princeton. Yang Zhenning and his colleagues went to a China restaurant for dinner. Suddenly they saw a girl next door, and they were very familiar with each other.
So Yang Zhenning took the initiative to say hello. The girl seemed to recognize Yang Zhenning, but she was a little embarrassed to say hello. Yang Zhenning described her teaching experience in the middle school attached to The National SouthWest Associated University. They recognized each other in the greeting. This girl is Du Zhili.
They haven't seen each other for five years. These five years are enough to change everything, including people. Du Zhili has also grown from a lush girl to a slim girl. The glance immediately made Yang Zhenning have a chemical reaction, and the secretion of dopamine also made the two young people slowly immerse themselves in the sweetness of love.
Love at first sight is a warm response. Yang Zhenning originally planned to stay in Princeton for a year and then leave, and then go to the University of Chicago. But after meeting Du Zhili, everything changed, and he decided to stay in Princeton.
The best way for husband and wife to get along is to achieve and tolerate each other. 1950 On August 26th, they became friends in Princeton.
If Du Zhili's family hadn't suffered misfortune, she wouldn't have gone to Princeton, and she would have been taken away. But it was because of some misfortune that their marriage was realized.
Fate is sometimes hard to say clearly. The fate between Du Zhili and Yang Zhenning may have been sealed. From the friendship between teachers and students at the beginning to the love between husband and wife later, every step seems to be destiny takes a hand.
Marriage is a kind of practice, of course, it should be a close bargaining chip. Du Zhili and Yang Zhenning are both well-born and well-educated. Naturally, they have the same topic and language.
Yang Zhenning studied hard and made progress. At the age of 22, he was qualified to study in the United States, studied under Professor Fermi of the University of Chicago, and then did research at Princeton University.
After marriage, Du Zhili took care of everything at home, including picking up and dropping off children, educating children, interpersonal communication, and various chores in life. Yang Zhenning only needs to do scientific research sincerely.
It is said that his wife is the best feng shui in a family, and Du Zhili is the best person to bring this good feng shui to Yang Zhenning. She once said: "(Yang) is a scientist after all. He is busy day and night and has poor self-care ability. Daily affairs cannot be said to be barrier-free, and interpersonal communication such as making friends is even more tiring. "
It can be seen that although Yang Zhenning is proficient in academics, he lacks in life, daily affairs and communication, and these deficiencies are made up by Du Zhili.
Use a popular song to describe Du Zhili's contribution, "The military medal is half yours and half mine".
Du Zhili himself is a smart and enterprising person. She understands the hardships of her husband's work and how to balance family relations. In the days without her husband, she regained all her childhood hobbies and made life interesting.
Yang Zhenning was criticized because he remarried only one year after Du Zhili's death. This time, things are different. He not only married a woman 54 years younger than himself, but also was his student.
Du Zhili accompanied Yang Zhenning for many years, and she paid silently until her husband finally succeeded. When Yang Zhenning won the Nobel Prize in Physics, Du Zhili was only 30 years old.
That year, she was in her prime. She accompanied Yang Zhenning to Stockholm to attend the Nobel Prize ceremony.
This lady from the east, holding the Swedish king hand in hand, walked into the dinner of the award ceremony, dressed in sleeveless cheongsam, graceful and graceful, showing the bearing of a big country's social butterfly.
At the dinner party, Du Zhili was radiant and dancing, so that many years later, Yang Zhenning was still full of pride when recalling this past.
A man's best show off comes not from a straight suit or money in his pocket, but from his wife's smile and family harmony and happiness.
After marriage, Du Zhili and Yang Zhenning loved each other and had three children. Their married life is still rich and colorful. The couple often attend parties, discuss physics and travel around the world.
Du Zhili and Yang Zhenning lived this life for decades, and it was not until 2003 that Du Zhili ended his happy and sweet life.
Although Yang Zhenning married 28-year-old Weng Fan after Du Zhili's death, everyone found that Weng Fan's temperament was very close to Du Zhili's. Maybe this is Yang Zhenning's trouble.
