The feelings of home and country are inherent in everyone. China people pay attention to returning to nature, so that they can live comfortably and safely. Yang Zhenning is a famous physicist. He won the Nobel Prize, the highest prize in the world. What many people don't know is that Yang Zhenning's father Yang Wuzhi is also a very talented person.
Yang Wuzhi, the first doctor of mathematics in China, has trained many outstanding talents for the country. Yang Zhenning's success cannot be separated from his inculcation. However, Yang Zhenning gave up his China citizenship and joined the United States, which made Yang Wuzhi never forgive him at the last moment of his life. Fortunately, Yang Zhenning returned to the embrace of the motherland in his later years.
Fate is rough, losing parents.
Yang Wuzhi was born in a scholarly family, and his father was a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty. He was an out-and-out scholar. Although his mother can't read, she is also a good family. Yang Wuzhi grew up in a scholarly family, and his father was very strict with him. Due to the influence of family environment, Yang Wuzhi is very interested in learning, especially mathematics. He is his father's most valued child.
I thought this happy life would last forever, but unexpectedly, Yang Wuzhi's father died because of a serious illness. This is a very heavy blow to the family. After my father died, my mother was depressed every day and had no spirit to do anything. Soon after, his mother died of depression, and Yang Wuzhi, who lost his parents, became an orphan. At this time, he is too young to live alone.
Later, Yang Wuzhi's uncle saw that the child was still young and nobody took care of him, so he took him home for adoption. Although he is his uncle, his uncle's living conditions are not comfortable. There are already several children at home, and now there is another Yang Wuzhi, so the embarrassment of life can be imagined. Yang Wuzhi knows very well that he lives in a sponsor's house. He dare not ignore anything. He helps his family and studies hard every day.
When I came to my uncle's house, my aunt always wanted Yang Wuzhi to drop out of school because they didn't have the financial conditions to send every child to school. Fortunately, my uncle saw that Yang Wuzhi loved studying very much, and his academic performance was good, so he continued to go to school. In order not to disappoint his uncle, Yang Wuzhi studied very hard and won the first place in every exam. The rewards at home were all from Yang Wuzhi. Later, Yang Wuzhi was admitted to the preparatory course of Beijing Normal University, which was already a very high degree at that time, and he didn't lose to the present Tsinghua Peking University.
After graduation, many famous schools rushed to invite Yang Wuzhi, but Yang Wuzhi chose to teach in his former high school. In Yang Wuzhi's own words, he is a very nostalgic person. He misses his old high school, which gave him a lot of things. Now that you have succeeded, you should make some contributions to your alma mater.
China's first Ph.D. in Mathematics was hired by many famous schools.
During his tenure at his alma mater, Yang Wuzhi devoted himself to his own career and wanted to change the fate of students through knowledge. However, his strict teaching methods have aroused many students' dissatisfaction, and he is often abused by students, and the most serious one is being beaten by several students. Because the students are rich and powerful at home, the school just turns a blind eye, and Yang Wuzhi can only let it go. After all these things, Yang Wuzhi realized that he could not save the children and China by doing so. At that time, the country advocated studying abroad and trained more high-end scholars, so Yang Wuzhi had the idea of studying abroad.
So he prepared to study abroad while teaching, and married Luo, who had been engaged since childhood. Luo didn't go to school for a few years, but he only knew some simple words. She didn't dislike her because of this, but she was very considerate to Luo. They lived a husband and wife life of mutual respect, and Yang Zhenning was born two years later.
Shortly after Yang Zhenning was born, Yang Wuzhi's application for studying abroad was approved. In order to realize his dream, Yang Wuzhi had to leave his wife and children to study in America. While studying at Stanford University in the United States, Yang Wuzhi devoted himself to his studies, and it took only two years to get his undergraduate degree from Stanford University.
In order to learn more knowledge, Yang Wuzhi went to the University of Chicago to study for a master's degree. At that time, there were few overseas students from China at the University of Chicago, and China people were easily discriminated against. Yang Wuzhi also suffered a lot of unfair treatment while studying at the University of Chicago. However, he was not discouraged, but devoted all his energy to mathematical research. Two years later, he got a master's degree from the University of Chicago.
After getting such a high degree, Yang Wuzhi didn't stop studying mathematics. 1927, Yang Wuzhi published a research article entitled "Various Generalizations of Hualin Problem", which made him famous internationally and was awarded a doctorate, becoming the first doctor of mathematics in China. After finishing his studies, Yang Wuzhi directly chose to return to China and was hired by a famous university in China. He used to be a professor in Tsinghua University, Fudan University and Tongji University. It has trained a large number of talents for China. Hua is a famous mathematician and student in our country.
Never forgive my son for becoming an American citizen.
Like mother, like son, Yang Zhenning also inherited his father's tireless spirit in academics. Yang Zhenning is the first physicist in China to win the Nobel Prize. After his son won the Nobel Prize, Yang Wuzhi, as a father, was overjoyed and went to the United States to visit his son. Yang Wuzhi once advised Yang Zhenning to return to China as soon as possible, because China was in need of talents at that time, and his return to China would certainly make a lot of contributions to the country. However, Yang Zhenning believes that the domestic scientific research conditions are far less than those in the United States, and his own development may be limited, and he refused his father's request.
Later, Yang Zhenning announced that he would become an American citizen, which was a blow to Yang Wuzhi. He devoted his life to patriotism and respect for the country, and all he wanted was to contribute to the country. However, his son chose to give up his China citizenship and become a Chinese American, which was a great blow to him. So there are many problems between father and son, and the relationship has become alienated. Until Yang Wuzhi died, he said that he could not forgive his son for becoming an American citizen.
Until 20 17, Yang Zhenning suddenly announced that he would give up American citizenship and join China citizenship, which caused a great sensation at that time. Many people think that Yang Zhenning has lived in the United States for more than 70 years and has completely adapted to life there. Why does he want to give up American citizenship now? Later, Yang Zhenning said that his body was full of the same blood as his father. He came from China, so he finally chose to join China. For him, this is a fallen leaf, and more importantly, it makes up for the regret for his father.
