18 years ago, the famous physicist Yang Zhenning and female graduate student Weng Fan got married.
One is an 82-year-old elderly man, and the other is a 28-year-old girl. The huge age difference between
54 years old has caused overwhelming doubts between the two.
also made Yang Zhenning, the world's top scientist, bear the reputation of "not being safe in the evening".
However, 18 years later, 100-year-old Yang Zhenning is still energetic and has a bright eyes,
46-year-old Weng Fan seems to have changed his body, and has become much haggard and older in order to take care of Yang Zhenning.
In this marriage, she gave all her youth and love, and regarded each other as everything in her life.
Yang Zhenning also said: "Weng Fan is the last gift from God to me",
Are the two really in love so much? How do two people who are 54 years apart get together?
01
1922, Yang Zhenning was born in a high-level family in Hefei, Anhui Province. His father was the famous mathematical educator Yang Wuzhi and was also the enlightenment teacher of Hua Luogeng .
Yang Zhenning also inherited his father's excellent genes and showed extraordinary IQ since he was a child. When he was
4, his mother taught him to recognize words, and he learned more than 3,000 words in just one year.
When he was a child, Yang Zhenning liked to stay in the library of Tsinghua University and read all kinds of books.
By chance, Yang Zhenning opened the book "The Mysterious Universe" and has formed an indissoluble bond with physics.
Later, Yang Zhenning was admitted to the Institute of Physics of Southwest Associated University and devoted himself to studying physics knowledge.
In 1945, Yang Zhenning obtained the quota for Tsinghua public funding in the United States and went to the University of Chicago, USA to further study.
During his overseas study, Yang Zhenning obtained a philosophy degree from the University of Chicago with excellent results. After
, he entered Princeton Advanced Research Institute and specialized in physics theory with his partner Li Zhengdao . In the past few years, Yang Zhenning proposed many world-leading research theories.
He reached the highest level that Chinese can access in the field of world scientific research and was famous.
and won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957, becoming the first Chinese in the world to win this achievement.
While expanding its territory in the field of physics, Yang Zhenning also found his first love early.
In 1944, 22-year-old Yang Zhenning had just graduated from Southwest Associated University and worked as a teacher in the affiliated high school for one year.
The biggest gain this experience brought him was to meet a female student Du Zhili .
Du Zhili 5 years younger than Yang Zhenning and is the daughter of a famous anti-Japanese general Du Yuming .
According to fate and chance, Yang Zhenning became Du Zhili's math teacher.
A year of getting along made the two feel good about each other, but they have not yet broken through the teacher-student relationship.
After Yang Zhenning went to the United States to study, this special fate was also hurriedly pressed the pause button.
Until 1949, Yang Zhenning met Du Zhili, who also came to study in the United States in a restaurant in Princeton.
At the moment of meeting, the two suddenly felt "electrically shocked" in their hearts.
Not long after, Yang Zhenning and Du Zhili determined their relationship and entered the palace of marriage a year later.
02
After marriage, Du Zhili gave birth to two sons and one daughter for Yang Zhenning, becoming the woman behind him.
In order to make Yang Zhenning concentrate on scientific research, Du Zhili took on the important task of taking care of the family alone.
without any worries, Yang Zhenning devoted himself to physics research and gained a lot of results.
Behind his success, of course, Du Zhili has been inseparable from Du Zhili's silent efforts.
Yang Zhenning also understood this, so he and Du Zhili attended the ceremony of Nobel Prize .
The life after marriage is sweet and peaceful. Yang Zhenning and Du Zhili always accompany each other.
In 1964, Yang Zhenning was abused by everyone for joining American nationality.
Even his father Yang Wuzhi did not understand his actions and did not forgive him until his death.
Faced with the surging criticism, Yang Zhenning chose to endure and did not explain to himself.
only Du Zhili, who firmly accompanied behind Yang Zhenning and gave him unconditional support.
In the years that followed, Yang Zhenning used his actions to make great contributions to the cause of New China. In many cities in the United States, Yang Zhenning positively promoted China's development through speeches.
not only changed the attitude of many Americans towards China, but also influenced a group of Chinese American scholars.
Yang Zhenning used his influence in the academic community to continuously help China establish a good image in the world.
also promoted , China-US diplomatic relations , and cultivated many excellent Chinese scientists.
1995, Shantou University held the "First International Chinese Physics Conference". Yang Zhenning and Du Zhili and his wife were invited to attend.
At this time, Yang Zhenning would not have thought that he would meet his future second wife here.
That year, 19-year-old Weng Fan had just become a freshman and studied in the English Department of Shantou University.
Because of his excellent academic performance and outstanding appearance, Weng Fan was arranged by the school to receive Yang Zhenning and his wife.
It was from this moment that fate quietly tied a line between her and Yang Zhenning.
1976, Weng Fan was born in a wealthy business family in Chaoshan, Guangdong.
Because he is the only daughter in the family, Weng Fan has been loved by his family since he was a child and has a very lively and cheerful personality.
After a few days of getting along with Yang Zhenning and his wife, the clever and considerate Weng Fan won the favor of both of them.
Weng Fan and Du Zhili had a very similar temperament when they were young, which made them feel more intimate.
Du Zhili also liked this little girl very much, and specially left her home address and phone number.
and encouraged Weng Fan to study in the United States after graduation. She and Yang Zhenning can help take care of her.
After the brief reception, Weng Fan returned to his ordinary college life. In the following years, she had been maintaining letter exchanges with Yang Zhenning and his wife as a student. After graduating from Shantou University, Weng Fan did not choose to study abroad or graduate school, but entered the workplace.
She worked in a golf club in Shenzhen for 3 years. During this period, she met a Hong Kong man. After falling in love with the other party, Weng Fan followed the other party to Hong Kong and went through the marriage procedures.
Unfortunately, this marriage lasted less than two years and was shattered.
, whose relationship was frustrated, chose to continue his studies and was admitted to the translation department of , Guangdong University of Foreign Studies and Foreign Trade,
, from the workplace to the family, and then back to school, Weng Fan was always looking for his own value.
During this period, she often wrote letters to Yang Zhenning and his wife to listen to their advice to their lives.
In October 2003, Du Zhili died in the United States due to illness at the age of 76. After learning about this bad news, Weng Fan was worried that Yang Zhenning would be too sad, so he immediately wrote a letter to go over and enlighten him carefully.
The death of his beloved wife gave Yang Zhenning a heavy blow. Fortunately, Weng Fan's letter gave him a little comfort.
Since then, the two have exchanged letters more frequently and their relationship has become more and more intimate.
This encounter, which began 8 years ago, has laid the foreshadowing for the future fate of the two.

At the end of 2003, Yang Zhenning returned to China to settle down and moved into the "Master's Mansion" of Tsinghua University .
Yang Zhenning went to Sun Yat-sen University to hold a lecture. He remembered Weng Fan who was studying in Guangzhou.
He took the initiative to call her: "Would you like to come out to see me?" Weng Fan happily agreed,
This is their meeting again after 9 years, and both of them were very looking forward to it.
Before meeting, Weng Fan felt both excited and nervous, and was thinking in his heart whether to come forward to support Yang Zhenning.
But when he saw Yang Zhenning, Weng Fan found that the 82-year-old professor opposite him was energetic and vigorous.
did not feel old in his every move. Instead, he was quick-thinking and talked freely.
This made Weng Fan feel relaxed and had a great conversation with Yang Zhenning, as if he had endless words.
is different from other students' restraint when facing Yang Zhenning. Weng Fan speaks casually and relaxedly,
The two walked side by side on the tree-lined path on campus. Yang Zhenning felt unprecedented vitality and joy.
28-year-old Weng Fan still carries the girl's straightforwardness. This warm feeling makes Yang Zhenning unforgettable.
Perhaps it was from this meeting that the girl in front of him gradually walked into Yang Zhenning's heart.
In the following days, Yang Zhenning could not help but call Weng Fan.
Sometimes he would talk to her about what he saw and heard in life, and sometimes just to listen to her voice.
. For Weng Fan, receiving calls from Yang Zhenning every day has become an expectation, and the two of them are increasingly dependent on each other.
Once, Weng Fan and his friend were shopping, and Yang Zhenning suddenly called.
Weng Fan left his friend aside and chatted with Yang Zhenning for more than an hour.
Friends teased Weng Fan when they saw this: "Is Professor Yang interested in you? Otherwise, why would you call you every day?"
Weng Fan's face turned red with a "swish" and suddenly felt panic and shy as if he fell in love.
In May of that year, Yang Zhenning invited Weng Fan to visit Shibo, Hong Kong.
On the rugged steep slope leading to the beach, the two naturally held hands, and never let go again.
It was also from this time that Weng Fan realized that she liked Yang Zhenning to hold her hand very much, which made her feel very safe. After returning to Guangzhou, Weng Fan always thought of Yang Zhenning unconsciously, and her mood was very panicked from time to time.
She thought to herself: "Yang Yang" In addition to being older, the professor has all the charm of a mature man. Why can't it be him? "
Later, the two went out together again, riding the double bicycle in Beihai, Guangxi, and shuttled happily between the coconut forest paths.
Yang Zhenning knew that Weng Fan liked to take pictures, so he gave her a Panasonic camera and took many good photos of her.
On the sunny coast of the coconut forest, this couple left too many precious and beautiful memories.
This trip made Yang Zhenning more determined. He proposed to Weng Fan a few days after returning to Beijing.
Although Weng Fan complained, "Who doesn't give you roses when you propose?", his heart was filled with sweetness.
. After hearing this, Yang Zhenning just smiled and replied to her: "I will definitely provide you next time I meet."

In November 2004, Yang Zhenning accompanied Weng Fan to her hometown in Chaozhou . The two registered their marriage.
At the beginning, Weng Fan was worried that his parents would not agree to the marriage and planned to explain and convince them slowly.
Fortunately, the parents were very open-minded and loved their daughter, and finally chose to respect their daughter.
However, while friends sent their blessings, the media also began to expose the matter in large quantities.
For a moment, the news of "Yang Wenglian" caused an uproar, and Weng Fan's mobile phone was bombarded by reporters.
The huge gap in age, identity and experience between the two people caused various criticisms.
Some people say that their marriage is just a "exchange of interests". One is for youth and beauty, and the other is for fame and status.
Faced with overwhelming doubts and slander, Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan maintain a calm mind and do not respond.
Because they understand that life is for themselves, they do not have to live in the eyes and discussions of others.
After getting married, Weng Fan moved into Tsinghua Park with Yang Zhenning.
Just like other girls in their twenties, Weng Fan likes to drink coffee and stay up late in the morning, and wakes up very late in the morning,
But Yang Zhenning is used to going to bed early and getting up early. Such a difference in work and rest made Weng Fan feel uncomfortable at first.
In order to better take care of Yang Zhenning, Weng Fan began to work hard to adjust his work and rest habits and keep his consistent with her husband.
Later, Weng Fan got up at 8 am every morning, and then prepared nutritious breakfast for two people with his own hands.
After Yang Zhenning went to work, Weng Fan would read books and write papers at home, and his life was fulfilling and meaningful.
At night, the two of them would walk on campus after dinner and were often met by students.
When walking, they always held hands intimately, just like a couple in love.
Weng Fan also learned to practice Tai Chi with Yang Zhenning. The two of them leisurely punched downstairs of the master's residence.
Weng Fan is a gentle and sensible girl who takes care of Yang Zhenning meticulously in life.
Yang Zhenning has been hospitalized several times in recent years because she was sick. Every time, Weng Fan stayed in front of the hospital bed and kept walking.
For Yang Zhenning's health, Weng Fan also specially learned to make some nourishing decoctions.
Every time Yang Zhenning attends an event, Weng Fan will definitely accompany him and look at him with gentle eyes.
No matter where he goes, Yang Zhenning is always used to holding Weng Fan's hand.
He said, "I feel very at ease holding Xiaofan's hand."
The life I lived with Yang Zhenning was peaceful and stable. Weng Fan enjoyed it very much.
She said: "I found a peace of mind in the ivory tower in the ivory tower. This is what I longed for since I was a child."
In 2011, with the encouragement of Yang Zhenning, Weng Fan was admitted to , Tsinghua University School of Architecture, to pursue a doctorate,
While accompanying Yang Zhenning, she also benefited a lot from the other party. Yang Zhenning's rich knowledge and life experience,
has greatly satisfied Weng Fan in spirit, and these things are far from comparable to money.
can be said that this unique "ivory tower" was created by Yang Zhenning for Weng Fan.
Now, under Weng Fan's careful and considerate care, 100-year-old Yang Zhenning is still energetic, and Weng Fan is nearly fifty years old. At the age of 46, she dresses simply and does not wear makeup, and her face looks a little haggard and old.
But for Weng Fan, she enjoys the pleasure and fulfillment of the spiritual world more than her external appearance.
As Yang Zhenning said: "Youth is not only related to age, but also to spirit."
Because of Weng Fan, Yang Zhenning's old soul seemed to have found the joy of returning to youth.
And what Yang Zhenning gave Weng Fan was the "pure world" he created. The two are real soul mates.
believes that this love between the two that transcends age and transcends the world will definitely become a story that will last forever.
