Life is affectionate!Scientific masters crossed the love of life and death ...

Text ｜ Shi Xiaolei

One day in the summer of 2016, I visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. I remember that day I had been in the Egyptian exhibition area for a long time. There were too many cultural relics. The exhibits in some areas were stacked together like warehouses. The experience was not good, so I was tired.

In the subsequent exhibition area, I basically looked at the flowers and flowers. It was not until a pair of exhibition halls. It turned out that it turned out to be the "Portrait of the Lavisi couple" created by the famous French painter Jacques Louis David. I didn't expect to be there with it, it was an unforgettable experience.

The frame is very large, I stand from a distance, I need to look up to appreciate. Sitting in front of the table looked back at his wife Mary, and Mary was on the right shoulder of Lawarz, her eyes were quiet and thoughtful.

Oil painting "Portrait of Lavari and Miracle"

This is an outstanding scientist's theme painting work, and many people have analyzed and interpreted it. Today I want to use it as an introduction to talk about the emotional world of scientists.

This seems to be a taboo area, which is easy to cause more or less misunderstandings. Before writing this topic, I was indeed a little worried or worried.

The main reason is that the long -term domestic publicity and reports on scientists are rarely in ink in the emotional world of scientists. If there are some "emotion", it is usually limited to the emotion of teachers and students, and is usually printed on the commemorative album. Memories text.

Another reason is that scientists explore the objective laws of nature. To a certain extent, the emotional world of the spiritual level is two sides of the opposition. Scientists themselves may not be good at or disdain about topics in this area.

However, the emotional world of scientists is really a treasure. It can not be stripped off with the history of science, but also reflects the personality and character of scientists. It is particularly important for the current scientific communication. I plan to talk about this topic in three small texts, involving love, teacher -student love and affection in emotion, and talk about love today.

Then talk about the Lavari couple. In 1771, 13 -year -old Mary and 28 -year -old Lavari were linked. The two were Qin Se and Ming. Mary has always been Lavar's helping assistant. And draw all illustrations for the "Introduction to Chemistry".

Among the several prints made by Mary, she left her figure as an observation and recorder sitting aside. In the second year of David's creation of this painting, from 1789, the French Revolution broke out. Lavis was ruthlessly involved in the torrent of history and eventually went to the broken tape.

The prints drawn by Mary present a scene of breathing experiments, and Mary sitting on the right records.

When he was caught, he wrote a letter to Mary to comfort her: "Since I listen to everything, since I regard everything that has not been lost as a victory, why are you so sad?" Lavisia set off chemistry chemistry. A far -reaching revolution in history was devoured by another revolutionary life, and it was also his touching love with Mary.

Next, I talked about Ferman, Ferman's story. Here is the story of him and the first wife Alin. Alling suffered from lymphatic tuberculosis, which was incurable at the time. From marriage to death, about 3 years, Allen was basically spent in hospitals or nursing homes.

Ferman was participating in the Manhattan project at the time, and only to accompany Allene on weekends. Usually relied on communication. Their letter was included in the book "Ferman Hand -the Drums". Readers can from a unique one Window insight into Ferman's life.

One of the letters written on May 10, 1945, which was written on May 10, 1945. Talking about the birthday of Ferman's birthday the next day, Alem who was sick in bed was to remind Feiman's birthday. The version of the head is printed with "National Celebrating Dr. Ferman's Birthday", and it became a major news of Los Alamos.

more than a month later, Ali died. Ferman never received such a birthday reminder. By October 1946, Alem had died for more than a year, and Feiman wrote a letter affectionately. At the end of the letter, I did not forget to attach a Ferman -style humor. This letter, (because) I don't know your new address. "

Ferman and Alle

The love story of physicists Wu Dazhen and Ruan Guanshi is similar to Ferman and Alle, but they have been in each other for a long time. The two knew each other at Nankai University. At that time, Ruan Guanshi suffered from lung disease. Wu Dazhen often boiled the beef soup turtle to send her to nourish her.

During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the two were in Kunming. First of all, a day in 1943, Wu Dazhen took a Mara board into the city. Because of the unfortunate fall of the car, he was unfortunate, causing a messenger to coma for several days. Then Ruan Guanshi fell ill again. He stayed in the hospital for 3 months, and his family almost reached the situation of "poverty as washed".

In this year, Wu Dazhen had to raise two piglets. He was going to sell money at the end of the year. During the hospitalization of Ruan Guanshi, he had to ask graduate student Huang Kun to help him feed.

In May 1945, because Ruan Guanshi's hospital was not ranked in the government, Wu Dazhen wrote to the Southwest United University and hoped to switch to the Ministry of Education to apply for medical subsidies. I have never been willing to ask the public agency.

Today, due to the high life (fee), the salary is not available for clothing and food, let alone the medical expenses, and the school is planned to be transferred to the Ministry of Education to read the hospital designated by the Kunming countryside for no subsidy. " , Worthy of the "standard husband" praised by friends. Wu Dazhen and Ruan Guanshi got married (1936)

From the story of the Wu Dazhen's couple, while respecting his unwavering love, he can also understand the meaning of "how difficult it is to worry about the new national movement, and tolerate the virginity of the villagers" recited by the song chanting of the Southwest Union.

The text or historical materials reflecting the emotional content of scientists, if compared with some corresponding contents of the group in the humanities and social sciences, should be poor. This is not to say that scientists are born with some cold and indifferent people, but for a long time to understand the prejudice and negligue the results of sorting.

In public opinion, it is not advisable to advocate some "high -quality" that is transcendent in the world, but should dig some scientific researchers who are shining with glorious humanity and flesh and blood to restore the original appearance of scientists as much as possible.

If the biography of scientists, small biography, or interview reports, in the collection of materials or interviews and investigations, in addition to their scientific research work, they should also pay more attention and pay attention to their rich life. Talk, and so on.

It cannot be considered that this kind of work is to collect what lace news or gossip talk, which is the only way for readers and audiences to show scientists.

The author believes that the scientific historical world has the responsibility and obligations. It is a guidance and dissemination of the "new generation" in the field of scientific popularization and communication in the field of scientific popularization and communication.
