wonder child
Tian Xiaofei, a talented woman and prodigy in China, chose to marry a 53-year-old American professor and become an American after studying abroad.
197 1 One day in winter, Tian Xiaofei was born in Harbin, a northeast ice city. Her parents are intellectuals, and Tian Xiaofei likes dancing and writing since she was a child. Once, she picked up a pen and wrote a line on the paper: "I love the earth/my father/my mother/my blue sky/my mother/my home!" " Her father was surprised and said, "My daughter is a genius and can write poems." A compliment made Tian Xiaofei be elated, and he fell in love with writing poetry.
Her parents also consciously guide her to hold poetry competitions at home every weekend. Father and daughter are players, and mother is the referee. The outcome is naturally the daughter's victory. When judging, my mother often guides her to describe here and where to write the scenery.
At the age of 4, a poem by Tian Xiaofei appeared in Tianjin Daily, and then five poems were published. Tian Xiaofei prodigy's reputation is getting farther and farther, and he has made pen pals with many writers in Tianjin. /kloc-When I was 0/3 years old, I passed the school gate of Peking University and was praised by my mother. She told her mother that she would definitely study in Peking University in the future. /kloc-at the age of 0/4, after investigation and interview, Tian Xiaofei was specially recruited by the English Department of Peking University. After this incident, Tian Xiaofei became a child prodigy.
16 years old is the 90th anniversary of Peking University. Tian Xiaofei's The Opportunity of Thirteen has a beautiful and smooth scene. This is an excellent work of Tian Xiaofei when he was young.
Make friends with Haizi
There is a man in Peking University who writes poems very well, that is, the famous poet Haizi. Haizi now works in the philosophy teaching and research section. Tian Xiaofei is looking for Haizi and communicating with her with her poems. Haizi appreciated her talent and praised her: "If you can persist, you will be a great poet." From then on, Tian Xiaofei loved poetry even more.
1989 Haizi lay quietly on a railroad track in Shanhaiguan, ending his 25-year-old life. Tian Xiaofei had mixed feelings when the news came. A poet who encouraged himself to continue writing poems left first. What is the meaning of life? Why did he give up? Tian Xiaofei even stopped writing in confusion. She quietly burned two books of her own poems at the intersection to commemorate Haizi's death.
Haizi committed suicide by lying on the track and ended his life. The death of Haizi had a great influence on Tian Xiaofei, who had been thinking and reflecting. Perhaps, her later ideological changes have a lot to do with Haizi's death. But in the end, she didn't insist, she chose love.
Choose love
The year after Haizi died, she entered the border of the United States of America in the cool autumn wind. Harvard University opened its arms to her. This year, Tian Xiaofei was only 20 years old and has become a doctor of literature at Harvard University. She is the youngest doctoral student in Harvard history. An enthusiastic American professor caught her attention. This man is her mentor Stephen Owen. This year, Stephen Owen was 53 years old and liked Stephen Owen, a professor of poetry in China.
It can be said that the two have a common hobby, which may be the reason why they came together. Stephen was born in Missouri and has a deep understanding of China's traditional culture. He gave himself a China name: Yuwen Suoan. Yuwen, the surname of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, is the surname of the Xianbei people in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Soan is a transliteration of his English name.
Parents are strongly opposed to their feelings. Brainwashed by western ideas, Tian Xiaofei somehow persuaded her parents. 1999, they got married in New York, USA, and Tian Xiaofei quickly changed her nationality. Since then, she has become an American.
This behavior towards her caused a lot of people's dissatisfaction. In all the accusations, she and Stephen are still in love. After marriage, Tian Xiaofei tried to help and support her husband's research on Han and Tang culture, and the happiness of marriage also made Stephen's research fruitful. 20 18 Stephen won the third Han and Tang literature prize. Stephen has more than a dozen monographs, focusing on Tang poetry. He was awarded the title of james blaine Conan distinguished professor, the highest title in the United States.
Academically, Mr. and Mrs. Tian Xiaofei are excellent. They once gave a speech back to China, which won a lot of praise. After marriage, Tian Xiaofei devoted herself to helping her husband, but she didn't achieve much. However, he has also published academic articles such as Jin Ping Mei Qiu Shui Tang, Several Stories of Dust: Tao Qian and Manuscript Culture. Tian Xiaofei's articles also appear in the news media from time to time. Although there is a lack of hands-on academic monographs, her academic skills can also be seen in the article.
Tian Xiaofei later changed her name to Yuwen Qiushui with her husband, and willingly became her husband's assistant. It can be said that she is full of love for her husband. Time flies. Today, Tian Xiaofei is over 50 years old, with gray temples, married for decades and no children. On the whole, her marriage is happy and she didn't choose the wrong husband.
Love has no national boundaries. From this perspective, Tian Xiaofei's choice is not wrong. We can't ask everyone to understand the righteousness like Qian Xuesen. After all, there are very few people like Qian Xuesen in China. Qian Xuesen chose greatness, sacrificing himself and serving the country. Tian Xiaofei chose love, gave up his hometown and achieved himself.
When the country is poor, talents always flow to rich areas; When the country became rich and strong, talents returned in succession. Now many international students have returned to China, which illustrates this truth. If we want to retain talents, we should not only strengthen patriotic propaganda and education, but also formulate corresponding measures and systems. Patriotism should start with children, blindly attach importance to prodigies and talents, while ignoring the construction of patriotism and values. The end result is often that talents cannot be retained, resulting in brain drain.
Song Taizu hit a bird and was protested by courtiers. In a rage, he knocked out the teeth of two courtiers. Courtiers answer blows with blows and hold them in their arms. Song Taizu said, do you want to sue me? The courtier replied: I can't sue you because there will be historians to record it. Hearing this, Song Taizu immediately gave many gold silks to his courtiers.
Song Like Taizu values fame, so they are afraid of historians' writing. It can be seen that closing coffins is a terrible idiom. What people do, for whatever reason, must never go against the righteous cause. If it is violated, someone will record it. No matter how good the reason is, it will inevitably end up in a coffin without tears. Right and wrong, free from people's hearts.
