On February 24th, 65438, Nobel Prize winner Yang Zhenning married Weng Fan, the female host with a difference of 54 years. Their love has caused a social sensation, and the age in love has become the focus of social discussion.

At the end of 2003, Weng Fan, a graduate student of Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, visited Hong Kong. 1998 After graduating from English Department of Shantou University, I worked in trading companies in Shantou and Shenzhen successively. After a two-year failed marriage with a Hong Kong employee, she returned to the campus for postgraduate study in 2002. During her stay in Hong Kong, Weng Fan remembered that Yang Zhenning had told her that he and his wife usually spent a generous summer vacation in Hong Kong. So, she moved the idea of contacting Yang Zhenning. Originally, as early as the summer vacation of 1995, Shantou University held the first World China Physics Conference, and Weng Fan was selected by the school to receive Yang Zhenning and Du Zhili. Pure and lovely, she is deeply loved by scientists and couples. Many years later, she and Yang Zhenning exchanged letters occasionally. Du Zhili died in the United States in the autumn of 2003, and Weng Fan, who was far away in Guangzhou, didn't know about it.

One day in February 2004, Weng Fan received a phone call from Yang Zhenning and invited her to meet at the Chinese University. Before meeting, Weng Fan was really excited and nervous: Should I come forward to help 82-year-old Professor Yang Zhenning after being away for many years?

To Weng Fan's surprise, Professor Yang Zhenning is full of energy, and he speaks, thinks and acts quickly, almost exactly like him in 1989. Weng Fan's nervous mood suddenly relaxed. Everyone is very happy to meet this time. Because Weng Fan is not as formal as science students to academic masters, the conversation seems relaxed and casual.

After this meeting, Yang Zhenning was deeply impressed by Weng Fan, and his lonely heart was warmed by this frank girl. In the following days, whenever he is free, Yang Zhenning can't help calling Weng Fan. Weng Fan gradually got used to answering Yang Zhenning's phone in her spare time, which became an important part of her life. Sometimes, if she can't get a call from Yang Zhenning as scheduled, she will feel a sense of loss. One day, Weng Fan and his friends were shopping in Guangzhou when Yang Zhenning's phone rang again. Weng Fan said to the phone, "I'm shopping with that friend I mentioned to you last time." The friend who was left hanging saw the clue and joked: "Is Professor Yang in love with you? With his status and position, if he doesn't like you, he won't call you so often. " Weng Fan blushed with shame. In May, Yang Zhenning invited Weng Fan to visit Shi 'ao. It was raining that day, and there was a steep road from Shi 'ao Village to the seaside. To be on the safe side, the two naturally held hands and let go immediately after walking. At that time, Weng Fan found that she liked Yang Zhenning's hand very much.

In July, 2004, Weng Fan and his friends found two like-minded "donkey friends" on the Internet and traveled to Inner Mongolia together. On the vast grassland, Weng Fan received a phone call from Yang Zhenning who had arrived in Beijing. Yang Zhenning also invited her to visit his home in Tsinghua University. Every year, he spends part of his time in Tsinghua and part of his time in Hongkong.

A few days later, Weng Fan took a taxi to Tsinghua campus, and Yang Zhenning had ordered the nanny to prepare delicious meals for Weng Fan. Weng Fan found that living in the United States for many years did not westernize Yang Zhenning's lifestyle. He is very traditional. I like eating Huaiyang cuisine and drinking black tea. The two exchanged more and felt very tacit understanding with each other.

After a short stay in Beijing, Weng Fan went to Shaanxi. During that time, she was often uneasy, and Yang Zhenning's smile always appeared in front of her. She realized that she was really in love, and suddenly she was confused: How is this possible? You can calm down and think about it. She thinks that Yang Zhenning has all the charm of a man, but she is a little older. She had no choice but to give in to love. But she was still worried. After all, the difference between them is 54 years old. Back in Guangzhou, Weng Fan's whole heart has been left to Yang Zhenning. My heart is full of sweet love. She often has the impulse to write English poems and then send them to Yang Zhenning by email. Yang Zhenning always revises his poems and sends them back. Later, Weng Fan posted some of his favorite poems on the Internet. After reading it, several doctors from the Translation Department of the Chinese University commented that Weng Fan was really gifted in the rhythm and beauty of English poetry. The two people who suffered from lovesickness finally waited until the "Eleventh" Golden Week in 2004. Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan agreed to travel to Beihai, which is not too far from Guangzhou and not too crowded. Knowing that Weng Fan likes taking pictures, Yang Zhenning specially gave her a Panasonic digital camera. Between the blue sky and white clouds and the sea, the footprints of the couple who have forgotten the year have been left. Weng Fan wears his favorite Mickey casual clothes, rides a tandem bike with Yang Zhenning, and walks happily on the coconut grove path.

A few days after returning to Beijing from Beihai, Yang Zhenning proposed to Weng Fan by phone. Weng Fan received a phone call to propose marriage in Guangzhou. Spoiled and said, "How can anyone propose if you don't send roses?" Yang Zhenning quickly smiled and agreed: "I will definitely supply you next time we meet." In June 2004, Weng Fan made a special trip back to his hometown. Weng Fan's family is very good. Weng Guangyun, Weng Fan's father, has always loved Weng Fan. On that day, Weng Fan gently told his parents about himself and Yang Zhenning. Weng Guangyun and his wife were really surprised. Weng Fan had to explain and persuade slowly. Enlightened parents finally agreed to their daughter's choice.

As soon as his parents nodded, Weng Fan told Yang Zhenning the good news. The next day, Yang Zhenning asked people where to go through the marriage registration formalities, only to learn that Chinese Americans like him must go through the marriage registration formalities at the place where the woman's household registration is located. He quickly called Weng Fan to get her ready. In the evening, they agreed to write emails to their friends separately and share their happy events.

The friends who received their emails were all very excited. The next morning, the professor of the Chinese University of Hong Kong mysteriously talked about the novelty of his old friend Yang Zhenning, so he couldn't work all morning. But just as these professors were bent on keeping Yang Zhenning a secret, the Singapore media reported the news of Yang Weng's engagement. The media suddenly "bit" Weng Fan, making her afraid to answer her cell phone.

On February 22nd, 65438, Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan flew to Shantou. Weng Fan's parents are already waiting at the hotel. Yang Zhenning called them "Mr. Weng" and "Mrs. Weng" His parents are called "Professor Yang". On the morning of 24th, he got a marriage certificate accompanied by his younger brother Yang and his wife. Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan kept a distance of more than two meters, and entered the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau in tandem. During the Spring Festival, Yang Zhenning accompanied Weng Fan back to Guangzhou, specially hosted a banquet for Weng Fan's friends in Guangzhou, and took them to their collapsed White Swan Hotel to watch their DV. Yang Zhenning especially likes shooting DV. Weng Fan teased him about "wanting to be a director". When they go out to play, Yang Zhenning often "directs" passers-by to shoot for them, and shouts "start" and "stop" like a director. Yang Zhenning is very careful and friendly to his friends in Weng Fan, and keeps in touch with these young people. He asked the young people carefully what they thought of their marriage. After hearing the words of blessing, he asked humorously, "Did your parents relax your boyfriend's age limit a lot?"

After marriage, Weng Fan changed the title of his graduation thesis to "A Study of Xu Yuanchong's Poetry Translation Thought". Xu Yuanchong is a famous professor in Peking University and a classmate of Yang Zhenning in Tsinghua. In the process of thesis writing, I read a lot of works by Professor Xu and had the opportunity to ask Professor Xu personally. Although Weng Fan wrote her graduation thesis in a bit of a hurry, she finished it seriously and was well received by her tutor. Guangdong University of Foreign Studies conducts anonymous evaluation of graduate papers, and invites an expert inside and outside the school to evaluate each graduate paper. Both experts spoke highly of Weng Fan's paper and achieved good results. In the past, Weng Fan's lifestyle tended to be western-style: she liked to drink coffee, chat with friends online late at night, and got up very late in the morning. After marriage, she gradually adjusted her schedule to match her husband's schedule. She goes to bed early and gets up early, which is very regular, and her fair skin becomes ruddy and shiny.

Generally speaking, they get up at eight o'clock every morning on time. There is no nanny at home, so Weng Fan prepares their own breakfast: two cups of milk, some slices of toast and two fried eggs, which are simple and nutritious. After breakfast, Yang Zhenning goes to school to work. In recent years, his work is mainly to use his international influence to introduce top academic talents to the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Tsinghua University, and to raise funds for the development of advanced academic research. In the past year, he raised $654.38 million for Tsinghua, and hired Yao Qizhi, a China scholar from Princeton University and a global authority on computer science, to teach in Tsinghua University. After Mr. Wang went to work, Weng Fan read books and revised papers at home. At noon 12, the couple had a simple lunch and then took a lunch break. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the husband and wife work separately. Dinner is usually arranged around 6: 30. In Beijing, there is a nanny at home to help. In Hongkong, Weng Fan sometimes cooks by himself and eats out most of the time. Yang Zhenning likes desserts in Hong Kong restaurants very much, but Weng Fan is afraid to eat more. In the evening, two people are walking on campus. They are always hand in hand, fingers clasped. Yang Zhenning told Weng Fan some stories about internationally famous physicists, or about his traveling around the world with his family. Weng Fan listened meekly, feeling warm and satisfied. In the evening, they sit on the sofa listening to music and watching movies. They rented a VCD of April Day on Earth to watch. They also like to watch historical plays. Weng Fan read The Secret History of Xiaozhuang and thought it was good, so he recommended it to Yang Zhenning. A few days ago, they listened to classical music, sat on a small sofa and watched the best-selling book The Da Vinci Code, and discussed the thrilling plot together.

Yang Zhenning always likes to wear bright T-shirts such as light yellow and light pink, and also likes to wear a belt, which looks very young and energetic. Weng Fan gradually gave up her favorite casual clothes and chose more ladylike and steady clothes.

Because the apartment is over the hill of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, you have to drive yourself when you go out. They also drive the Nissan bought by Yang Zhenning 1980, which is a bit like the classic car in the movie The Legend of Henry. It has been used for nearly 20 years, and sometimes it is driven in downtown areas, with a high turn-back rate, because almost no one in Hong Kong drives such an old car. Yang Zhenning always drives by himself. He has quick reaction and good parking skills. There is an island near Shek O in Hong Kong. In their spare time, Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan will drive to play. When Yang Zhenning drives, Weng Fan always sits in the co-pilot seat next to him and looks at Mr. Wang tenderly. Yang Zhenning likes Weng Fan's eyes very much. She feels like a soft light hitting her, safe and warm. An old friend of Weng Fan also said: "Weng Fan's eyes on Yang Zhenning are definitely gentler than ever." For the future plan, I hope I can spend more time and energy to take care of Mr. Wang and sort out his academic materials and speeches. A friend asked Weng Fan, "Are you going to be a mother?" Weng Fan said, "Let nature take its course."

In April 2005, he and his younger brothers Yang and Yang Zhenping took their wives to Mount Huangshan. Although Yang Zhenning is almost 83 years old, he has no difficulty in climbing the mountain, and Weng Fan was almost dragged away by him. Yang Zhenning joked: "Fan Fan, although my legs and feet are very flexible, I still like to hold your hand." Do you know why? Because holding your hand feels very practical! "Along the way, Weng Fan's voice is soft and sweet, and she speaks slowly, with English in Mandarin. From time to time, Yang Zhenning jokes about his Mandarin with a hint of Chaozhou dialect. Weng Fan told her friends that what impressed her most about the trip to Huangshan was that health was so important to people. She said that Yang Zhenning's family was in excellent health. Although they are over 70 years old, they all climbed Huangshan Mountain easily. Weng Fan and Yang Zhenning's family get along well. Whenever Yang Zhenning's children call from America, Weng Fan will pick up the phone and talk to them.

At the beginning of June 2005, Weng Fan successfully passed her master's thesis. After returning to Beijing, she signed up for a French class, hoping to learn a language that she has been very interested in for several years. She is also going to buy a piano, hoping to smell the flowers in the yard, play the piano and live a quiet life with her husband sweetly.
