After 18 years of marriage between Weng Fan and Yang Zhenning, Yang Zhenning has not changed much at the age of 100. Why does she seem to be a different person?

In December 2004, a major piece of news came out of the scientific community: the famous physicist Chen Ning Yang was going to remarry. The marriage partner turned out to be Weng Fan, who was 54 years younger. The love between old and young has been criticized since ancient times, especially the love and marriage of celebrities, which has attracted more attention and caused a lot of controversy. Some people commented on the marriage between Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan, saying that the woman was "motivated by interests and got married because of "money", otherwise no one would be willing to marry a man of their grandfather's generation." However, Weng Fan proved with actual practice that their relationship was pure and beautiful. There is no room for any worldly contamination.

In 1950, Yang Zhenning held a simple wedding ceremony with the first lady Du Zhili. After Yang Zhenning became a Nobel physicist, the two became models of "talented man and good looks". But something unexpected happened, and Du Zhili passed away in 2003. The gap between life and death is an insurmountable gap for anyone in the world. After the death of his wife, Yang Zhenning was depressed and unhappy. At this moment, a letter from Weng Fan suddenly arrived in his hands.

Since then, Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan have kept in touch. With the contact, their relationship has continued to deepen. Sometimes they can chat for more than an hour on the phone. Weng Fan is in her 20s and her life is full of rich colors. She often tells Yang Zhenning about her life experiences and recites her poems to Yang Zhenning from time to time and asks him to correct her.

Yang Zhenning will also patiently help her correct it and then send it to Weng Fan. Weng Fan admires Yang Zhenning very much, but the communication between the two makes Weng Fan often forget Yang Zhenning's age. The two contacted each other for six months, and Yang Zhenning met Weng Fan at Sun Yat-sen University. But what surprised her was that Mr. Yang still looked so strong, so awake, and so un needing help from others.

Mr. Yang is also a considerate person. He knew that Weng Fan liked to travel, so he made a special trip to Shi'ao. They rode two bicycles on a quiet path, chatting like old friends until sunset. Weng Fan found that with Mr. Yang, she felt an unprecedented sense of peace and security. At this moment, she already has the life she desires most, the most perfect love, which has nothing to do with age, time, or even the entire world.

Not long after, Yang Zhenning invited Weng Fan to visit Beihai. In his spare time, Yang Zhenning confessed to him: Weng Fan, I want to marry you, marry me. Although I know it is a bit urgent, you also know, I am no longer a young person, and I don’t have that much time. I can’t delay it any longer, but I know that this matter will have a great impact on you. Will your parents agree? Can you tolerate rumors? You have to think about it carefully and give me an answer after you think it through.

Yang Zhenning is a cheerful person who does not need sweet words, but his concern for Weng Fan moved her very much. She knew that this was not just a simple love, but a deeper feeling. Weng Fan's parents finally agreed, saying: "I very much agree and understand my daughter's decision. If I am willing to make some sacrifices for Professor Yang, it will also be an honor for our Weng family."

Many people are fantasizing that Yang Zhenning is a "world-class national treasure". Although he is old, he will always hold a grand wedding for his wife. But it turned out that Yang Zhenning only sent him a bouquet of roses, which were given to him when he proposed to her. The so-called grand wedding does not exist at all. The two of them fell in love after just one phone call. After marriage, Weng Fan still referred to Chen Ning Yang as "Professor Yang".

Yang Zhenning’s family was surprised that they cared so much about their marriage. Yang Zhenning's brother Yang Zhenhan said: "Our family accepts and blessings calmly, but many of our country's ideas are very weird, and we especially like to praise people to the sky. My brother is just an ordinary person, and he always needs someone to accompany him. Why must he Living alone?"

Speaking of Weng Fan, he said: "It's great that she can take good care of my brother at such a young age!" Tsinghua University held a lecture to commemorate the centenary of Yang Zhenning's birth. Weng Fan was wearing a red robe and had a bright smile on his face.

Yang Zhenning's waist is more stooped than before. He uses a cane and relies on the help of others throughout the process. He looked very old, but at the meeting, he spoke clearly and logically. He looked very energetic and did not look like a man over a hundred years old at all.

The reason Yang Zhenning can live to be a hundred years old is because of Weng Fan's careful care of him and his love for him. Although Weng Fan was happy to marry Yang Zhenning, he also lost a lot because of it. As his father said, I can understand my decision. It is an honor for Xiaofan to be willing to support Professor Yang in his old age. But Yang Zhenning doesn’t think this is a kind of sacrifice. He said: "I never talk about sacrifice. There was none before and there is none now."

He doesn't really like to use "sacrifice" to describe it. After all, , love is consensual. Just like "soul mates", there is a kind of love that is about spiritual companionship. Their emotions are not mixed with interests or conspiracy, just for companionship, just to find someone who understands me.
