It was only on the first day of the Republic of China that Zhao Yuanren and Yang Buwei became known to the world and had an immortal partner!

Zhao Yuanren is a master of linguistics all over the world. He is called the father of linguistics in China, but linguistics is really a joke in his eyes.

He is good at too many things.

For example, music, some people say that he is a musician, and he has composed more than 100 pieces of historical music, among which Liu Bannong's composition taught me how not to let her sing until now.

Mathematics, for example, is what people learn at school. They got a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Cornell University, with 65,438+000 points twice and 99 points once, thus keeping the school's record for many years unbroken.

Such as physics, such as psychology, such as philosophy.

He played academic games all his life, unlike other celebrities of his time who loved each other. He only loved one person and his wife in his life.

Today, we will tell the love story between Zhao Yuanren and Yang Buwei.

0 1

1992165438+1October 3rd, Zhao Yuanren was born in an it family in Tianjin, and his hometown is Changzhou, Jiangsu.

This family is quite powerful. One of the ancestors was Zhao Yi, a historian in Qing Dynasty. He wrote, "Jiangshan has produced talents and has been the leader for a hundred years." His grandfather and father were both juren in the Qing Dynasty.

Zhao Yuanren also claimed to be the third1grandson of Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty.

His mother is a talented woman who knows poetry, Kunqu opera and calligraphy.

Children in such families have a good growing atmosphere since childhood.

The most important thing is that he is particularly curious about the world, especially the language. He showed amazing language talent from an early age.

190 1 year, Zhao Yuanren's grandfather died of illness, and he returned to his hometown Changzhou to live and study with his family. He learned changshu dialect and Fuzhou dialect from his relatives.

By 1903, 12-year-old Zhao Yuanren had learned Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Baoding, Changshu, Suzhou dialect and Changzhou dialect.

1909, Zhao Yuanren is going to Tsinghua for public entrance examination.

1909, 19 10, 19 1 1, Beijing recruited international students for the whole country for three times. At that time, candidates were required to be proficient in Chinese and English, but also to be "physically strong, pure in temperament, complete in appearance and innocent in family background"

In the first exam in August,1909,630 people took part in the exam, and finally 47 people were admitted.

19 10, the second batch of examinations in Zhao Yuanren, with 70 students admitted. Zhao Yuanren ranked second and Hu Shi ranked 55th.

One of the candidates in this group is Yang Buwei, who gave up the exam. Years later, the classmate who gave up the exam fell in love with the second one and finally entered the marriage hall. The world is really big and too small.

He went to the United States, 19 14 graduated from the Department of Mathematics of Connor University, and 19 18 received his doctorate. After two years in school, Zhao Yuanren returned to China on 1920.

Back in Zhao Yuanren, China, there are two things, one is to work, and the other is to solve the marriage problem. After all, the boss is not young now.

This academic expert is famous at home and abroad. It is easy to find a job after returning home. No, you don't have to find it. He was invited to work in Tsinghua University.

The school was very upset about what job to arrange for Mr. Zhao, and finally found talent. He just became a pediatrician to teach mathematics, and then added a philosophy, which was a waste. Finally, Zhao Yuanren taught several courses, such as mathematics, physics, China phonology, general linguistics, China modern dialect, China score and western music appreciation. But it didn't take long for people to go to work, and they were picked up and took over as translators for Russell. The reason is simple, others can't do this job. Russell's lectures cover advanced mathematics, logic, philosophy and so on. The first thing is done.

Before and after translating for Russell, Zhao Yuanren met his true love.

She is Yang Buwei, a female doctor in Senren Maternity Hospital.

Yang Buwei, three years older than Zhao Yuanren, is a veteran of the three BRICS countries.

The elder sister's family is a famous family in Nanjing, and her grandfather is very open-minded. Influenced by western culture, foot binding is forbidden. It is estimated that her children have received western education. Playing Yang Buwei Jr. is a tomboy. In any case, in the eyes of father and teacher, he is not a good student.

Yang Buwei did many naughty things. For example, when she was 6 years old, she stuffed snowballs into Li's quilt. When Li found out, he picked up a ruler and hit her five times. But the girl was not afraid, so she grabbed a ruler and hit Li's ass five times. Naughty Li liked her very much when she became the principal.

Before meeting Zhao Yuanren, Yang Buwei quickly grew into a woman. In that patriarchal era, she wrote an amazing sentence, "Women are the mother of the nation." Her manifesto is: I have a bad temper, I will turn against others, and I will have a hard time with others. If you want to cross me, I will cross you; If you are reasonable, I will be more reasonable than you.

Based on these ideas, she decided to break off her engagement with another person who married her, and her grandfather especially encouraged her granddaughter to break off her engagement. After breaking up, my home was bombed. Although this was supported by my grandfather, it was my aunt's house that broke off the engagement. She complained directly to Yang Buwei's father, who was so angry that he wanted to kill Yang Buwei. Unfortunately, with the support of the boss, it's over.

Divorce is not a big deal for her. Later, she went to Shanghai Chinese and Western Girls' School, and the school teacher advised her to join the teaching. She resolutely refused to accept it, chose to drop out of school, and then listened to her grandfather and went to Japan to study medicine.

19 19, Yang Buwei returned from Japan with the honor of Japanese doctor of medicine.

A year later, her future son-in-law will come back.

19 19, Dean Li invested in the establishment of Beijing Senren Hospital, becoming the first female dean in China. By the way, she also has a very famous title, the first female doctor of medicine.

1920 In September, Zhao Yuanren met two girls, Yang Buwei and Li Guanzhong, at his cousin's house.

I don't know what happened that day. Zhao Yuanren has a good impression on divorced Yang Buwei, and Yang Buwei has a good impression on all-rounder Zhao Yuanren who is also preparing for divorce.

It is a good feeling.

So he decided to be a matchmaker and introduce his best friend Li Guanzhong to Zhao Yuanren as his wife.

Zhao Yuanren just had a crush on Yang Buwei, and in the long run, they fell in love, while Li Guanzhong went to enjoy the cool.

After two people are engaged for life, there is still one problem to be solved. Zhao Yuanren still has 14 years to retire, which is also a key figure in his return to China.

It's too difficult. My girl is two years older than him, which is 3 1 year. They are all older young people now, not to mention then? If you divorce now, can you remarry later?

When Zhao Yuanren said she wanted to dissolve the marriage, the woman killed her and disagreed with the matchmaker. Moreover, this son-in-law is a good son-in-law, and she can retire if she can.

For 29-year-old Zhao Yuanren, it has been a busy and painful year.

After repeated negotiations, finally in the late May of 192 1, after friendly and unfriendly negotiations, the woman agreed to dissolve the engagement, but she had to pay 2000 yuan for the loss of youth.

This marriage caused a great sensation at that time.

On May 25th, Zhao Yuanren and Yang Buwei will get married. They printed 400 wedding notices, which read: Zhao Yuanren and Yang Buwei got married at 3pm 192 1 on June 30th, at the sun standard line of east longitude 120 degrees. With two exceptions, gifts are never accepted. The first exception is letters, poems, or music scores, and the second exception is donations to the Chinese science society. They also draft their own marriage certificates and write them by hand. They went to Central Park to take a selfie and chose one as a wedding photo.

After getting ready, Zhao Yuanren and Yang Buwei invited Hu Shi and Zhu Zheng, a female doctor, to have dinner on May 3rd1day.

After dinner, they said to two friends, please sign as holders of marriage certificates.

The procedure is simple, in line with the concept of two big coffees breaking through feudal marriage. Hu Shi immediately spread the news, and the next day, the Beijing Morning Post had the title of a special issue of new people's wedding.

After their marriage, they made a timetable, speaking Mandarin today, Hunan dialect tomorrow and Shanghai dialect the day after tomorrow.

After marrying Yang Buwei Zhao Yuanren, life is basically carefree, and both of them are very busy.

Zhao Yuanren has a lot to do in class and writing.

There was a time when there was no money at home. Yang Buwei was pregnant and bought a sewing machine by installment.

-1925, Zhao Yuanren went to Tsinghua as a professor, and Yang Buwei and Hu Shi discussed setting up a clinic to provide family planning services for the poor.

-Three idle wives probably set up Santai Company to sell handmade works.

When her husband publishes professional books, she publishes essays, women's autobiographies, Zhao's family miscellanies and China's cookbooks, all of which are bestsellers.

This couple are winners in life. On the golden wedding anniversary, Yang Buwei wrote a song, the golden wedding poem:

Fifty years of noise,

Everyone says marriage is good.

Yuan owes me this life,

Inversion of yin and yang, reunion.

Zhao Yuanren's answer is:

Keywords inversion of yin and yang, reunion,

It is as sweet as honey.

Equal rights for men and women in the new century,

Work together to benefit the world.

The couple's feelings really envy others. This kind of show of love is unnecessary.

06

They didn't have an affair and their marriage was very happy. This couple is called "immortal couple".

What they are most proud of is that all four children have become talents, and their eldest daughter, Zhao Rulan, is the first Chinese female professor at Harvard University. My son-in-law Bian Xue is a tenured professor at MIT, an academician of the American Academy of Engineering and an academician of the American Academy of Sciences. Female: Zhao Xinna, a famous chemist; Second son-in-law: Huang Peiyun, founder of powder metallurgy discipline in China, academician of China Academy of Engineering and professor of Central South University; Female: Professor Zhao Les of Cornell University; 3. Bogway, a professor of mathematics at the University of Washington; Female: Zhao, a professor at MIT.

In March, Yang Buwei died of illness at the age of 92.

A year later, Zhao Yuanren died in the United States on February 24th. 1982. At the age of 90.

He can never go back to China. According to the will, the ashes of Zhao Yuanren and Yang Buwei were scattered to the Pacific Ocean and flowed to his hometown with the Pacific Ocean.

This pair of interesting people have come to the end of their lives, but their valuable information, their fun and their optimism are still a good story.

Happiness is actually that simple.

Love what you love, do what you want, care with your heart, be like-minded and be happy.

Come on!
