During the Republic of China, a large number of strange people emerged, including many excellent female role models, such as Lin Huiyin, Bing Xin, Zhang Ailing, etc. Some of these people are writers and some are architects, all of whom are the best in their respective fields, leaving a bright color in the modern history of our country.
Among them, there is such a woman. Her father is a famous military strategist Jiang Baili, and writers Xu Zhimo and Jin Yong are related to her. Qian Xuesen, the two bombs and one star, is her husband. This strange man is Jiang Ying, a strange girl who combines beauty and wisdom. Jiang Ying was born in Haining, Zhejiang Province in 1919. Her mother was a Japanese woman named Zuomei. After she married Jiang Baili, she gave birth to five daughters, Jiang Ying being the third. These five girls were called the five golden flowers of the Chiang family when they grew up.
Jiang Baili, my father, was a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty. He studied in Japan and Germany successively, and was a famous military theorist and educator in China. After returning from studying abroad, he became the principal of Baoding Army School, and trained many military talents for our country.

Qian Xuesen's father Qian Junfu and Jiang Baili were close friends. At that time, Qian Xuesen was the only son in the Qianjia family, and they were very eager to have a daughter. So Jiang Baili adopted Jiang Ying to the Qianjia family and named him "Qian Xueying". In this way, Jiang Ying and Qian Xuesen became brother and sister, and Jiang Ying called Qian Xuesen "dry brother".
Jiang Ying showed extraordinary artistic talent when she was a child. When she was in primary school, her father bought her a piano. Since then, Jiang Ying has flourished on the road of music. In 1935, parents took 16-year-old Jiang Ying to visit Europe, where the artistic atmosphere and atmosphere made Jiang Ying deeply addicted to it.

Jiang Baili took this opportunity to keep her in Germany for further study, so at the age of 19, Jiang Ying entered the vocal music department of Berlin Conservatory of Music. Here, Jiang Ying's artistic talent can be fully reflected. During his school days, Jiang Ying got excellent grades. In 1943, he went to Switzerland to attend the Universal Concert and won the first prize in the soprano competition.
According to Jiang Ying's later memories, college life was the most unforgettable and happiest time in her life. Although she was busy practicing her voice and piano and learning languages all day during that time, Jiang Ying said, "When I was in the Conservatory of Music, I seemed to fall into the ocean of music, and she rushed at me like waves."
After graduation, Jiang Ying intended to return to her motherland. However, due to the war, it was not until the end of 1946 that she set foot on the mainland of her motherland, which had been away for nearly 1 years. After returning to China, Jiang Ying achieved great success on the stage. A reporter commented: "She is a music star who rose in Ran Ran in the East."

Just when Jiang Ying was on the rise in her career, she suddenly chose to get married, and the marriage partner was her dry brother, Qian Xuesen. When Jiang Ying was studying in Europe, Qian Xuesen was also studying in the United States. When Qian Xuesen married Jiang Ying in the autumn of 1947, he was already a professor at MIT.
The combination of the two is also very interesting. When Qian Xuesen returned to China in 1947, he was 36 years old, but he never married. After seeing his childhood friend Jiang Ying, he joked, "You didn't marry, I didn't marry. Why don't we get married?" In this way, the former dry brother and sister became a couple walking together less than a week after they met. Husband and wife have been caring for each other for decades.
After their marriage, Qian Xuesen and Jiang Ying went to the United States together, and in 1948 they gave birth to their eldest son, Qian Yonggang, and later a daughter, Qian Yongzhen. Qian Xuesen's first gift to Jiang Ying after marriage was a black grand piano, which accompanied Jiang Ying through a lonely life when Qian Xuesen was often busy with research and was not at home.

In p>1949, when the news of the founding of New China came, Qian Xuesen couldn't hold back his excitement and decided to return to China to devote himself to the construction of the motherland. However, how could the United States let such a talented person go home easily? Qian Xuesen's trip back to China was full of hardships and obstacles, and even he spent five years in prison, but Jiang Ying never gave up and accompanied him through all kinds of things.
After returning to China, Jiang Ying entered the Central Conservatory of Music to teach. Qian Xuesen devoted himself to the construction of China's national defense and became a great scientist. Jiang Ying also worked hard and wrote her own life chapter on the three-inch platform. Her teaching career was full of peaches and plums, and famous singers Zhang Yalun and Zhu Ailan were Jiang Ying's favorite students.
Whenever Jiang Ying performs on stage or directs a student's graduation performance, she always invites Qian Xuesen to listen to it, and the latter will also bring his colleagues around him to enjoy it, so as to get away from the busy and boring scientific research and relax and feel the charm of art.
Sometimes Qian Xuesen couldn't come because of his busy work, so Jiang Ying would record his songs and then play them to him. Under the influence of Jiang Ying, Qian Xuesen also became interested in literature and art.

In October p>1991, the central government decided to award Qian Xuesen the title of "National Outstanding Contribution Scientist". At this award ceremony, Qian Xuesen mentioned Jiang Ying with deep affection. He said, "Jiang Ying and I have been married for 44 years, during which our life was very happy.
It was she who introduced me to these musical arts. The poetic and profound understanding of life contained in these arts enriched my knowledge of the world and taught me a broad way of thinking in art. Or it was because of the influence of these arts that I was able to avoid being stubborn and mechanical materialistic, and to think more broadly and live a little. " Cousin Xu Zhimo and cousin Jin Yong, Jiang Ying, who was born in a rich family all his life
, played the role of a teacher, a wife and a good mother in life. In fact, Jiang Ying was not only born in a famous family, but also related to many celebrities in the Republic of China, such as literary giants Xu Zhimo and Jin Yong. Xu Zhimo's aunt married a cousin in Jiang Baili, so Jiang Ying called Xu Zhimo his cousin.
Xu Zhimo
Jiang Baili and Xu Zhimo are close friends. They once founded the Crescent Society together, and when Xu Zhimo was in the most difficult life, Jiang Baili gave him a house in Beijing to help him tide over the crisis.
Later, Jiang Baili was implicated in prison, and Xu Zhimo also accompanied Jiang Baili to prison. Although they were separated by a generation, they did not stop them from becoming friends.
Jin Yong is Jiang Ying's cousin, whose real name is Cha Liangyong, and Jiang Baili's original wife's name is Cha Pinzhen, who is Jin Yong's aunt, and Jin Yong's mother Xu Lu is Xu Zhimo's father Xu Shenru's youngest cousin, so Xu Zhimo, Jiang Ying and Jin Yong are cousins.

Besides Jiang Ying, Qian Xuesen's background is also good. He is the 33rd generation descendant of Qian Miao, King of Wu Yue, and other celebrities who are descendants of Qian Miao are Qian Sanqiang, Qian Weichang, Qian Xuantong, Qian Mu, Qian Zhongshu and so on. So, the combination of Jiang Ying and Qian Xuesen is a perfect match.
It may be that Qian Xuesen's brilliance is so dazzling that Jiang Ying's achievements are often overlooked: since returning to China in 1955, Jiang Ying has served as the director of the teaching and research section of the vocal music department of the Central Conservatory of Music and the deputy director of the opera department, and has successively written the history of the development of western European vocal music art, translated Chopin Biography and Schumann Biography, and so on.

In addition, because of Qian Xuesen's work, Jiang Ying has specially held a large-scale concert to sing about astronauts. During the 45-year teaching career in the Conservatory of Music, Jiang Ying has personally trained 26 students, nearly half of whom have made proud achievements on the international music stage, such as internationally renowned singers such as Zhao Dengying, Fu Haijing, Dorje Tsering and Jiang Yong.
Since their marriage to Qian Xuesen in 1947, they have been working hand in hand for 62 years, until Qian Xuesen died in Beijing on October 31, 29. On September 5, just over a month earlier, Jiang Ying also attended a concert specially held for her by her students, which was also a gift for her 9th birthday. Conclusion
On February 5, 212, the Lantern Festival was just a few days away, but Jiang Ying failed to wait until that day, and died suddenly at 11 o'clock on that day. At the last moment of his life, his son, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law and other relatives were with him, at the age of 93.

Looking back on Jiang Ying's life, she was born in a rich family, lived as a young lady, and endured humiliation and hardships with her husband. As a wife, Jiang Ying is undoubtedly a rare wife and mother.
As an artist, Jiang Ying also lives up to his reputation, and has trained many famous singers. He is a respected artist. Although Jiang Ying is surrounded by a group of outstanding people, this does not prevent Jiang Ying from emitting his own unique light and leaving a bright color in the history of vocal music in China.
