Wu Jianxiong's Personal Life

Wu Jianxiong was born in Liuhe Town, Taicang, Jiangsu. My father, Mr Wu Zhongyi, is an open-minded and far-sighted man. I studied at the famous Shanghai Nanyang Public School (the predecessor of Shanghai He 'an Jiaotong University) in my early years, but I was dissatisfied with the school's ban on spreading new ideas and joining the ranks of students. After the student movement, he resolutely dropped out of school and transferred to the patriotic society (sponsored by Cai Yuanpei) which advocated "academic freedom and inclusiveness". Later, he joined the league and joined the Shanghai business group to learn military skills. 19 13 years, Yuan Shikai took office as interim president, monopolizing power and fighting for differences among the parties, which triggered the "second revolution". Young people took an active part in the struggle against Yuan. After the failure of the second revolution, he returned to his hometown in disappointment. Wu Jianxiong was born at this time, nicknamed Wei Wei. She is a healthy generation, second line. The people were named after "heroes", hence the name Xiong Jian. Although she is a daughter, Wu Zhongyi hopes that she will not let a man grow up, be ambitious and be strong.

Mr Wu Zhongyi is not only open-minded, but also sensitive, diligent and versatile. Singing, reciting poems, playing the organ, hunting, indulging in the radio. He installed a crystal receiver himself, so that Xiao Weiwei could hear voices from the sky, buy her an encyclopedia series and tell her interesting science stories. Wu Zhongyi deeply understands the importance of justice and education, and pays special attention to women's education. There was a temple of fire in Liuyang town at that time. Bandits were rampant, incense was burned out, and temples were occupied by a business group. Wu Zhongyi earnestly persuaded the gentry to tear down the temple and build the school, and Mingde Women's Vocational Tutorial School was established. The name of the school means "the way to a university lies in Mingde". Wu Zhongyi became a principal himself and took his wife Fan as a teacher. Besides offering courses such as The Analects of Confucius and An Introduction to China's Ancient Literature, it also widely recruits children from four townships to study, and also offers new subjects such as mathematics and phonetic symbols to learn sewing, embroidery and gardening. When Wu Jianxiong was seven years old, he went to school to receive enlightenment education. After school, Wu Zhongyi often takes her daughter to the Tian Fei Temple in the town to find the monument of Zheng He's voyage to the West, and tells her the story of Zheng He, the eunuch of Sanbao, leading a fleet to the West.

1984 10 She returned to her hometown for the first time after being away for more than 40 years, attended the restoration of the name of her alma mater, Mingde School and the inauguration ceremony of Mingde Building, and donated Weizi Building of Mingde School. She is usually known for her frugality. She generously donated nearly $6,543,800+to set up the "Wu Zhongyi Scholarship", expressing her "nothing grows" in this unique way, benefiting Morita. Four years later, she made a special trip back to her hometown to attend the centenary birthday commemoration of her father Wu Zhongyi, and personally awarded the first "Wu Zhongyi Scholarship" to 59 outstanding teachers and students in Taicang County.

People like to call Wu Jianxiong Madame Curie of China. Although 1936 went to America, Madame Curie died on 1934 and missed it. However, Mr. Shih-Yuan Sze, the instructor of Wu Jianxiong's graduation thesis in Central University, is a student of Madame Curie, so there is indeed a close relationship between teachers and students. After Wu Jianxiong arrived in the United States, she was able to participate in the "Manhattan Project" to build an atomic bomb as a foreign female scientist. At that time, she had made her mark, which was more due to her appreciation and love from her teacher, Oppenheimer, the "father of the atomic bomb" in the United States and the host of this project. Wu Jianxiong's mentor in Berkeley, 1959 Nobel Prize winner Segray, loves her even more. Together, they discovered the inert gas "xenon", which has a key influence on the chain reaction of uranium nuclear fission. Wu Jianxiong wrote a paper about the research results, and prepared to publish it under the name of "Qianlie Seguli". Seguri deleted his name when she found out. This paper was published in the most authoritative Physical Review in the United States under the signature of Wu herself, which established her position in the field of physics and enabled her to successfully obtain her doctorate. This move has become a much-told story in the scientific community. Segrega traveled to Europe in his early years and had an affair with Madame Curie. Commenting on Wu Jianxiong, he wrote: "Her willpower and devotion to work remind people of Madame Curie, but she is more secular, elegant and intelligent."

1929, Wu Jianxiong graduated with honors from Suzhou Women's Normal College and was sent to Central University. Wu Jianxiong studied as a teacher. Before continuing his education, he was required to teach and serve for one year. However, because the regulations were not so strict at that time, Wu Jianxiong did not go to teach this year, but went to the Chinese Academy in Shanghai to study for another year, so he also had the opportunity to become Hu Shi's favorite pupil. Wu Jianxiong once said that the two people who had the greatest influence on her were her father and Mr. Hu Shi. The mentoring experience of Wu Jianxiong and Hu Shi not only had a profound influence on her in Wu Jianxiong's view, but Hu Shi also said in public that it was the proudest thing in his life. Hu Shi encouraged Wu Jianxiong to say that you are a very smart person, and you must respect self-love and make great achievements in the future. This is not what I want to say to you. What I want to say to you is that I hope you can make use of your stay abroad, pay more attention to the cultural relics of this state, read more books on literature and history, and read more other sciences, so as to broaden your mind, make your opinions incisive and become a knowledgeable person. On February 24th, 1962, there was a reception in the afternoon after the Academician Conference of "Academia Sinica" in Taipei, and Wu Jianxiong and Yuan Jialiu were invited to attend. After Hu Shi finished speaking, Wu Jianxiong was invited to speak, and Wu Jianxiong said that they had elected Wu Dayou as their representative. Hu invited academicians to eat snacks and was greeting friends. Suddenly, his face turned pale, then he fell backwards, his head hit the edge of the table, and then he fell to the ground. Wu Jianxiong witnessed the tragedy with his own eyes, and he was "heartbroken and sobbing". The next day, Wu Jianxiong went to the funeral home to pay tribute to Hu Shi's remains. He was "trembling all over, especially sad". Three years later, Mr. and Mrs. Wu Jianxiong went to Taiwan again to visit Hu Shi's grave, offer flowers and visit the Hu Shi Memorial Hall. The letter that Wu Jianxiong sent to Mrs. Hu, which has been treasured for 29 years, was an encouraging letter from Hu Shi when he was waiting for a ship in San Francisco in 1936. Mrs. Hu also displayed it in the exhibition hall.

Fairy couple

Wu Jianxiong's husband, Dr. Yuan Jialiu, is also a physicist with an international reputation and has made great achievements in the research of high-energy physics, high-energy accelerators and particle detection systems.

Yuan Jialiu was born in a prominent family and was the son of Yuan Kewen, the "second prince" of Yuan Shikai. When Yuan Jialiu was young, he studied in his hometown Anyang, Henan. At the age of thirteen, I went to Nankai Middle School in Tianjin and then went to yenching university to study physics. With the help of Si Tuleideng, president of Yanda University, he won a scholarship to study in the United States.

1August, 936, I went to Berkeley and met Yang through my friends. Yang told her that a foreign student who just arrived in China two weeks ago is also studying physics. His name is Yuan Jialiu, and he introduced them to each other. Wu Jianxiong wants to visit the physics department of the school under the guidance of Yuan Jialiu. The perfection and advanced atomic experimental equipment in the school attracted Wu Jianxiong. She resolutely changed her plan to go to the East and decided to stay in Berkeley, so she and Yuan Jialiu became classmates.

Wu Jianxiong is both talented and handsome, deeply influenced by the traditional culture of China. She loves to wear China's high-necked cheongsam, which is more feminine. In addition, her elegant temperament has also become the focus of boys' admiration, and many stars hold the moon. They pronounced her surname "Wu" as "Wu" and sang a love song half jokingly. Even the female classmates affectionately call her "Qiqi" (the pronunciation of Chinese sister). But Yuan Jialiu finally anchored the ark of love in his harbor. After all, Wu Jianxiong is a woman with China tradition. Her charming appearance and cautious words and deeds have a rational and honest personality. Admiring Wu Jianxiong's achievements and talents, he was constantly harassed by men around him before and after marriage. Wu Jianxiong is calm and generous, ready to respond, and rude. At an international physics conference held in Israel from 65438 to 0957, a host invited her to stay in Israel for a few months for sightseeing. At that time, Wu Jianxiong and a male physicist went to the same laboratory. She smiled and answered the inviter, pointed to her colleague and said, "Ask him. If he comes, I will come. " Politely and humorously refused. On another occasion, a person called her "Professor Yuan". She was greatly displeased and corrected: "I am Professor Wu, Mrs. Yuan."

1942 On May 30th, Wu Jianxiong married Yuan Jialiu the day before his 30th birthday. The wedding was held at the home of Nobel Prize winner milliken. Many of their classmates and friends in America came to celebrate, such as Qian Xuesen. After their marriage, they went to a beach in Los Angeles for a "honeymoon week" (only one week). After marriage, Yuan Jialiu did her husband's duty, and also took on the job of wife, and practiced eighteen martial arts: washing clothes, vacuuming, taking care of children, and even cooking.
