A year after Du Zhili's death, Yang Zhenning remarried, and his eldest son Yang Guangnuo: Weng Fan is a kind girl
It was once said that love is like a thrilling race. It has been a journey of change, ranging from a few decades to a hundred years. Some people chase a lifetime and eventually reap happiness; Some people chase their whole lives and eventually lose their way. There are mixed stories of love and anxiety, success and failure.
Miraculously, Yang Zhenning and his wives are a vivid footnote to such a legendary life.
From a chance encounter to two marriages across time and space, Yang Zhenning interprets another possibility of love. He chases love, never hesitates, and even as he gets older, he does not lose his enthusiasm at all. In him, we see the persistence and wisdom of love.
In 1949, a young Chinese man was dining at Princeton University when he stumbled upon a girl who was in the middle of a show. At that time, he was a university teacher who had just regained his freedom, and she was a talented woman from a prestigious university in the eastern United States. The two looked at each other and smiled, and then began a fate that crossed time and space.
This girl's name is Du Zhili, she has a prominent background, and she had a relationship with Yang Zhenning when she was in the Southwest Associated University. At this reunion, Yang Zhenning suddenly felt moved and began a fierce pursuit. He gave up his offer at the University of Chicago to focus on pursuing this beautiful and intelligent woman. Half a year later, the two got married in New York.
Since then, Yang Zhenning and Du Zhili have embarked on a difficult but happy marriage. Du Zhili entered the State University of New York to teach Chinese and also loves music. Yang Chenning went on to achieve more academically, winning the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957 with Tsung-Dao Lee. This honor also sublimated Du Zhili from a wife who silently supported him to a "great woman behind a successful man".
However, when he returned to his homeland in 1963 and 1971, Yang faced many pressures and dangers. He didn't care about his own safety, just to achieve his ideals. This undoubtedly brings uncertainty to family life. Du Zhili "complained" about this, but finally chose to support her husband.
In 2003, Du Zhili passed away due to illness, and Yang Zhenning faced the second half of his life alone. But he didn't choose to die alone, but met a girl named Weng Fan a year later.
Weng Fan, like Du Zhili, is a "nobleman" in Yang Zhenning's life. In 1995, when Yang Zhenning and his wife went to Shantou University to attend an academic conference, Weng Fan received them as a student representative. This encounter gave Yang Zhenning a new life experience.
In 2004, 82-year-old Yang Zhenning met Weng Fan again, and the relationship between the two quietly grew. Although Weng Fan is young, she has a unique understanding and reverence for Yang Zhenning. She does not see him as an elder, but communicates with him as an equal. This made Yang Zhenning feel closer than ever.
In the face of all kinds of criticism and doubts from the outside world, Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan chose to persevere. They believe that sincere love does not need to be explained. In December 2004, the two held a wedding in Shantou.
In this "shocking" marriage, Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan both paid a lot of courage. For Yang Zhenning, he must ensure the "purity" of this marriage, because his reputation is related to the face of the whole country; For Weng Fan, she must overcome the differences in living habits brought about by the age gap.
But it's not an obstacle for them. They learn from each other and grow with each other. In life, Yang Zhenning will take care of Weng Fan's bits and pieces, and Weng Fan will also remind Yang Zhenning to pay attention to rest. This delicate and nuanced way of getting along makes people feel the sincere love between the two.
It is worth mentioning that in both marriages, Yang Zhenning and his wife were generous donors. They have donated more than $5 million to Tsinghua University and other domestic universities. This not only demonstrates their deep affection for their homeland, but also their selfless dedication to the next generation.
Perhaps for the public, the marriage between Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan is indeed incomprehensible. But as Yang Guangnuo said, Weng Fan is a kind and down-to-earth woman. She, like Du Zhili, is an indispensable "nobleman" in Yang Zhenning's life.
There are thousands of forms of love, and everyone has their own pursuits and choices. For Yang Zhenning, what he pursues is never a secular vision, but the most sincere feeling in his heart. The footnote of his life is another possibility of love.
Time will tell. For Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan, their love does not need to be proved to anyone. As long as they cherish each other and support each other, this marriage across time and space will surely last for a long time.
