Love and work are usually very different. After all, once work is paid, it will be rewarded, but love is not necessarily the case. May lead to the loss of two people, on the contrary, or into the marriage hall. In short, love depends entirely on fate. Everyone will make a choice that they think is the most suitable, and some people are very lucky. Today, we talk about a talented girl in China, Tian Xiaofei, who was born in June of 197 10. /kloc-at the age of 0/3, she went directly to the department of western languages at Peking University and chose to study British and American literature.
When I was a child, I was very focused and my literary talent was particularly strong. In others' eyes, Tian Xiaofei is already a very powerful child prodigy. After all, it is very rare to be admitted to Peking University at this age. 1989 after graduating from the department of east Asian studies in Peking University, she was not satisfied with the present situation and decided to go abroad for further study. Through his own efforts, from June 65438 to June 0998, Tian Xiaofei obtained a master's degree from Harvard University.
In Harvard University, there are naturally many excellent talents. Tian Xiaofei also met the most important person in his life here. This is Stephen Owen. He is Tian Xiaofei's mentor. Although he is a foreigner, he is very interested in China's traditional culture, especially literature and poetry.
This is the same as Tian Xiaofei's. In addition, Stephen won the Tang Sinology Award in 20 18, and introduced China culture in his works, such as Poems in the Prosperous Tang Dynasty and Recalling the Past in China Classical Literature. There are more than a dozen works translated from English to Chinese alone. Stephen also has a Chinese name, Yuwen Suoan. He is a famous sinologist in America.
Stephen's father used to worry that he took Chinese poetry as his profession and that he could not even support himself. Later, he was surprised to find that he was able to support himself, but this strengthened Stephen's determination to study China's poems. At the age of 28, Tian Xiaofei and Stephen Owen, 52, decided to get married.
For the woman's parents, they will definitely not agree to this marriage at first. After all, the age difference between men is too big. My daughter is so young. As a parent, I don't want to see my children suffer in the future. However, Tian Xiaofei insisted on marrying each other. In this way, her parents finally agreed to the marriage.
How is she now? After they got married, they lived a relatively happy life, and Tian Xiaofei got an American green card. She also teaches at Harvard University, and she became a professor in this school, which can be said to be a double harvest of career and love. Some people may think that these two people don't seem to get along at all, but as long as they feel appropriate. Maybe the reason why they can be together is that they share common values and hobbies.
