Some time ago, the video of Yang Zhenning's 102nd birthday banquet was exposed.
Seeing that he was still in good health, he was accompanied by his 48-year-old wife Weng Fan.
That's when we realized how deep their relationship was.
Time will tell
In 2004, Yang Zhenning announced his marriage to his girlfriend Weng Fan, who was 54 years old.
As soon as this news came, it instantly detonated the Internet and pushed both of them to the forefront.
The main thing is that the age difference between the two protagonists is too great.
In the traditional concept, the man can be the woman's grandfather by default.
Many people are not optimistic about this "grandson love".
thinks that Weng Fan is trying to get Yang Zhenning's property and status.
But if they truly love each other, why should they care about other people's opinions?
Now Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan have been married for 20 years, and their relationship is very stable.
But no matter what they do, the audience will still maliciously speculate about them.
As long as the two are in the same frame, the woman has a little unhappy expression.
They will say that Weng Fan is already dissatisfied with this marriage, after all, who would want to waste all their good years on an old man.
And in recent years, Weng Fan is no longer young, and his face often reveals tiredness.
This made netizens find a reason, guess without basis, and finally conclude that they are not true love.
But some people think it's the opposite.
Yang Zhenning can now live to be 102 years old, which just proves that Weng Fan takes good care of him.
If this is not true love, how can she willingly take care of each other for twenty years?
And this year, on the occasion of Mr. Yang Zhenning's 100th birthday, the two husband and wife appeared together at the birthday banquet.
Not just to celebrate his birthday, but also to commemorate their twentieth wedding anniversary.
Time didn't seem to have left a trace on Weng Fan, and she still stood calmly beside her husband.
As soon as Yang Zhenning saw her, he didn't care about the people around, so he immediately smiled and took his wife's hand.
And Weng Fan also generously let the other party lead him, with a sweet smile on his face.
She gave each other her best years.
From an innocent and childish girl to a very mature woman.
No matter what the outside world says, just know that you are attracted by your husband's wisdom and charisma.
At the banquet, their tacit understanding and intimacy infected countless people, and also broke many doubts about their marriage from the outside world.
All in all, looking at the famous scientist Yang Zhenning, he has a "deep love" for Weng Fan.
The love between the two has crossed the age barrier, so that values, living habits, etc. are no longer a problem.
So what is the charm of Weng Fan?
Looks similar to his ex-wife
Maybe the answer is in a photo.
In 1995, 19-year-old Weng Fan was still a freshman at Shantou University.
At that time, Yang Zhenning and his wife Du Zhili came to attend the Chinese Physics Conference.
And the school sent Weng Fan, who spoke the best English, to receive them.
The three of them met at the conference, and after the meeting, they also left a precious group photo.
Looking at this photo now, I found that it was predestined in the dark.
At the time, I didn't see anything strange about it, but it didn't dawn on everyone until many years later.
After Weng Fan's appearance has completely grown, there are many similarities with Du Zhili when he was young.
And this may be the reason why the two were able to come together after Du Zhili's death.
We know that Yang Zhenning devoted all his energy to scientific research when he was young and made many achievements.
And his wife Du Zhili is also as good as him, and the two can be said to be talented and beautiful, and they are the right person.
Du Zhili used to be a student of Yang Zhenning for a while.
It was at that time that the two got to know each other and made a deep impression on each other.
A few years later, they also went to United States to study and met at a Chinese restaurant.
Encounter old acquaintances in a foreign land.
They finally opened their hearts and continued their leads.
After less than a year of dating, they quickly got married, and after marriage, they gave birth to a total of three children and formed a happy family.
Du Zhili has accompanied Yang Zhenning through nearly 60 years of ups and downs, and it is conceivable how deep their feelings are.
Some people commented that she was Yang Zhenning, "a great woman behind a successful man." ”
This statement is not false at all.
Although she is the daughter of a high-ranking general, she does not have the temper of the eldest lady.
On the contrary, he has a straightforward personality, is very principled, and has a good temperament and personality.
Therefore, in 2003, after Du Zhili died, Yang Zhenning was very sad during that time.
He often recalls the scenes of the two encounters, as well as the sweet bits and pieces of life, and he can't extricate himself from it.
At this time, Weng Fan knew the news and sent him a sincere letter of condolence.
It was this letter that made Yang Zhenning stand up again from his loss.
Love across ages
Their bond began long after that physics conference.
Weng Fan has always respected Yang Zhenning and his wife.
She knew that being able to communicate with such a famous great man was something that many people would not envy.
So the reception was done with all the effort and left a great impression on them.
In the few years of separation, Weng Fan did not forget to keep in touch with them at all times.
She has been communicating with Yang Zhenning in letters, and the content is only to ask about some knowledge that she doesn't understand.
During this period, she also got married once.
It's a pity that in the end, because of the disagreement with her husband, her life was not happy.
The two eventually parted ways and ended up in divorce.
It wasn't until Weng Fan knew that Du Zhili, whom she had always respected, died, and she also wanted to do her part.
She knew that Yang Zhenning had a deep relationship with his wife, so she wrote a letter to comfort him.
And Yang Zhenning did gradually come out of the shadows with her encouragement and care, and felt the warmth that he had not seen for a long time.
Their correspondence gradually increased,
This relationship between teacher and friend has deteriorated in less than a year.
Yang Zhenning was moved by Weng Fan's intelligence and vitality, and made up his mind to propose to her.
He also knew that there was a big age gap between the two.
In an interview after marriage, he also bluntly said that he would consider the issue of life and death.
But love is like this, and it can't be stopped.
The appearance of Weng Fan extended Yang Zhenning's life and gave him hope to live.
Although there is a big age difference between them, they can be honest with each other and support each other.
In the face of doubts from the outside world, he always chose to ignore it and behaved neither humbly nor arrogantly.
If there is no Weng Fan, there will be no Yang Zhenning's longevity.
Their love is pure, and we should also learn to understand and respect.
