The Republic of China was a special stage in the history of our country. At that time, Western civilization suddenly poured in, and our country also completely opened its door to the outside world, accepting trends of thought from all directions. Whether in the field of culture or science, during the Republic of China, a number of great talents and talented women emerged who were well-versed in both Chinese and Western learning and were world-famous. At that time, people not only cared about the knowledge of talented people and beauties, but also cared about their personal lives. After all, these things have always been people's talk after dinner, such as Xu Zhimo 's love and hatred, Lin Huiyin's salon party, Lu Xiaoman 's emotional entanglements... The love affairs of literati in the Republic of China mostly started well, but most rarely ended well. But there are also some couples who met when they were young and fell in love for life, making people say "I believe in love"! For example, Qian Xuesen, known as the "Backbone of the Republic", and his wife Ms. Jiang Ying.
Qian Xuesen and Jiang Ying are both from Zhejiang. They have a very good personal relationship and can be described as family friends who know their roots well. Jiang Ying's father was a famous military theorist and military educator during the Republic of China, and he was from a prominent family. Jiang Yingxingsan is known as Xiaosan at home and in front of people close to him.
Jiang Ying was very cute and lively when she was young, and she had many brothers and sisters in her family. In comparison, Qian Xuesen was the only son in the family, so it was a bit deserted. Qian Xuesen's mother saw that Jiang Ying was lively and cute, and the two families had a close relationship, so she proposed to adopt Jiang Ying to the Qian family. Jiang Ying and his wife believed that the Qian family was a scholarly family with a good family tradition, so they agreed to this request. Although it was just a private adoption, the Qian family held a grand banquet and invited relatives and friends to witness this happy event. Therefore, from this perspective, Jiang Ying is still Qian Xuesen's sister. At a gathering between two families, Jiang Ying and Qian Xuesen sang "Swallows Fly Together" together. Perhaps this was the foreshadowing of their future love as a couple. Although the children of the Jiang family were prosperous, Jiang's father and mother still missed Jiang Ying very much, so after a short adoption, the Jiang family took Jiang Ying back, but the two families agreed that Jiang Ying would be the goddaughter of the Qian couple.
Later, as time passed, one of Jiang Ying and Qian Xuesen went to Germany to study music, and the other went to the United States to study physics. The connection between the two was slowly broken. It was not until 1946 that Jiang Ying ended her study abroad career and returned to China. A year later, Jiang Ying became famous in Shanghai with her oriole-like singing voice. At that time, Qian Xuesen, who had completed his studies at and was awarded the title of full professor, also returned to his motherland.
Qian Xuesen was already 36 years old at the time. Although he had profound academic attainments and had a certain reputation in the international academic community, he was still unmarried. The Qian and Jiang families were close friends, and Qian Xuesen and Jiang Ying were both of the right age and unmarried, so Qian's mother always asked Jiang's mother: "Does the mistress have any friends?" There are many people who match up Jiang Ying and Qian Xuesen. meaning. Not only the elders, but also Jiang Ying herself was very concerned about this godbrother's personal affairs. However, instead of introducing herself, she introduced several of his girlfriends to Qian Xuesen, but Qian Xuesen was noncommittal about these.
Later, before Qian Xuesen was about to return to the United States, he found Jiang Ying and asked her: "Do you want to go back to the United States with me?" As soon as these words came out, Jiang Ying knew Qian Xuesen's intentions. It turned out that Qian Xuesen had not married a wife in these years. Firstly, because of his busy academic life, and secondly, because of Jiang Ying, his "sister", Qian Xuesen had great intentions of waiting for him. At that time, Qian Xuesen was a young talent and a personable person, and Jiang Ying was also very fond of him. Later, Jiang Ying said personally: "At that time, he was a full professor at the age of 36. I admired him from the bottom of my heart." So this talented and beautiful couple got married in Shanghai within a few weeks, and they were once regarded as a talented man and a beautiful woman. typical.
Later, whether Qian Xuesen chose to return to China or decided to devote himself to the aerospace industry of New China, Jiang Ying always supported him. You know, Jiang Ying is not an illiterate woman. On the contrary, she has also received a good education and has her own music career.But in order to support Qian Xuesen's work, she can decisively choose to retreat to the second line, give up the glamor and scenery on the stage, and be willing to be the pillar behind Qian Xuesen! This deep affection and understanding is worthy of praise no matter when. Later, Qian Xuesen also publicly stated to the public: "It was precisely because Jiang Ying gave him a happy family and artistic influence that he had a broader thinking and vision. When he was in a dilemma in his personal work, it was Jiang Ying who Ying's singing made me suddenly enlightened! "
In 1991, the State Council decided to award Qian Xuesen the Medal of Honor. Qian Xuesen said affectionately at the award ceremony: "In our more than 40 years of family life, the money belongs to you and the award (Chiang) belongs to you. Me! "Oh, who said that science students can't talk about love? Mr. Qian Xuesen, who is obviously a master of science, can talk about love to kill people, okay? This really makes others envious!
