It is said that Pu Shu is a legend in the music industry, but his father is even more extraordinary.

In 2000, when Hong Kong and Taiwan singers dominated half of the music scene, a mainland singer successfully broke through. The album "I Go to 2000" sold over 300,000 copies as soon as it came out.

This singer is—— Pu Shu.

In the complicated entertainment industry, Pu Shu is a special existence. Fame, fortune, flowers and applause, instead of bringing him happiness, have become spiritual shackles that make him sick.

Over the years, Pu Shu has experienced fame, depression, retirement, and comeback. His story is familiar to the public, but what few people know is that he was born in a Kochi family.

Pu Shu’s father Pu Zuyin is a professor and doctoral supervisor at Peking University, and one of the initiators of my country’s “Double Star Project”.

It is said that Pu Shu is a legend, but his father is even more extraordinary.

Anyone familiar with Pu Shu knows that he has made extraordinary achievements in music and reached heights that many people cannot reach.

Similarly, his father Pu Zuyin is also a legendary figure in the field of science.

In 1962, Pu Zuyin graduated from the Department of Geophysics of Peking University. He devoted his life to academic research.

In his academic career of more than 50 years, Pu Zuyin has long been engaged in the energy transmission and release of the magnetosphere in outer space and the magnetosphere. Space storm research, and has achieved a series of scientific research results at the international cutting-edge level.

In addition, Pu Zuyin has published or co-published 270 papers, which have been cited by SCI more than 2,700 times. He has also won many scientific awards at home and abroad.

Despite his numerous achievements and outstanding achievements, Pu Zuyin is very low-key and humble. He has maintained a simple life style for decades.

As a scientific researcher, Pu Zuyin is almost crazy about his work. Pu Shu recalled: "When I was a child, I woke up many times in the middle of the night. My father is working all the time."

His students also admired Professor Pu very much: "Professor Pu is very serious and insists on showing his best side."

His world is full of science. p>

Professor Pu is not only meticulous in his work, but as a mentor, he has inspired and motivated several generations of Chinese young scientists.

There is a saying that “Being a teacher is an example to others, and you are tireless in teaching others.” Pu Zuyin on the three-foot podium did not show any airs, and he devoted himself to his students. ,

Once, a student's graduation thesis was unqualified, and Professor Pu accompanied him to revise it. The teacher and student "didn't go anywhere" and revised the thesis behind closed doors. Professor Pu personally revised it two or three times, each time taking several days, until the paper was "of great reference value."

In the eyes of students, Pu Zuyin is not unattainable. He is a knowledgeable, capable and well-behaved teacher. They can be said to be "both teachers and friends".

Pu Zuyin devoted his whole life to his work and his students. He can definitely bear the four words of "high moral character and high respect".

In the eyes of the world, most scientific researchers are a bit "cold", and even when they treat their partners, they don't seem to be romantic enough.

But Pu Zuyin is not like that.

Outside, he is a professor that everyone respects, and a mentor that students respect and admire. When he returns home, after taking off his halo, he is just a gentle and considerate husband.

▲ Pu Zuyin and Liu Ping

Pu Zuyin’s wife is Liu Ping, who is also a professor at Peking University and the first generation of computer engineers in our country.

The love story between the two elders is not so intense, and it is more of a still water running deep between them.

Pu Zuyin and Liu Pingben were classmates in junior high school and high school. When they were studying in school, they were both outstanding students.

In 1958, Pu Zuyin was admitted to Peking University, majoring in space physics, and stayed at the school to teach after graduation. Liu Ping responded to the country's call to support Xinjiang, and was selected to study computer science at Xi'an Jiaotong University.

One majored in space physics and the other majored in computer science. At that time, their life trajectories were different, and they were not in a relationship.

Initially, it was Professor Pu who took the initiative to confess.

That winter, Pu Zuyin, who had just been admitted to the Department of Physics of Peking University, was far away. Liu Ping from Xinjiang Bayi Agricultural College wrote a letter and attached a photo of the snow scene in Linhuxuan.

At that time, Liu Ping was very simple-minded and had no preparation for love, so she rejected the other party's pursuit. Pu Zuyin was very disappointed and walked around Weiming Lake again and again, even taking Liu Ping's The replies were all thrown into the lake.

I originally thought that this fate would be interrupted, but I didn't expect that they would meet again in Beijing six years later. Pu Zu couldn't forget the old relationship and contacted Liu Ping again.

After many contacts, the two young hearts slowly got closer, and they finally became lovers. In that era when the carriages and horses were very slow, and there was only enough time to love one person in a lifetime, holding hands meant a lifetime.

In 1966, with the blessings of relatives and friends, the two married and became an enviable couple.

After marriage, they truly enjoyed the harmony of the piano and the harp, and the years were peaceful. During the long years when Professor Pu was immersed in teaching and scientific research, his wife Liu Ping not only completed her job well, but also took care of the housework, silently supporting the family's blue sky.

Because he has a good wife at home, Professor Pu can work without distraction and achieve so many scientific research results. Teacher Liu Ping uses her gentleness and virtuousness to relieve her husband from worries.

Today, the two elders have been together for more than 50 years. This journey has been full of ups and downs, and they have truly "never been apart". Teacher Liu Ping is the support for Professor Pu to reach the peak of scientific research, and Professor Pu is the spiritual support and sustenance of Teacher Liu Ping.

In 2018, Peking University held the "2018 Retired Faculty and Staff Golden Wedding Celebration". Professor Pu and Teacher Liu Ping wore traditional Tang suits and walked the red carpet together hand in hand.

Although they on the red carpet have reached the twilight years of their lives, and the green hair on their heads has long turned into white hair, the smiles on their faces and the happiness between their brows and eyes make the younger generation see them. To the most beautiful side of love.

The most romantic thing in the world is not to live in sweet words every day, but to enjoy the romance of romance, and to go through the ordinary life of daily necessities together.

Pu Zuyin was not only a good husband, but also a competent father. Although he himself was a scientific researcher, neither of his two sons inherited his career.

In fact, at first Professor Pu, like all parents, hoped that his two sons would follow a traditional path, go to university and engage in scientific research. However, Pu Shu and his brother Pu Shi were not interested in their father's field.

They said bluntly: "You want us to be 'Xiao Liu Ping' and 'Xiao Pu Zu Yin', which is impossible.

”

After hearing such an answer, many parents will feel that their authority has been challenged and will worry that their children will go astray. For this reason, they do not hesitate to take some measures Coercion is a method of forcing the child to take a path that he does not like at all.

Professor Pu is not the same. Compared with those stubborn parents, he is more democratic, but he cannot restrain his son. Instead of letting them live according to their own wishes

Because Pu Shu and his brother both like music, in an era when income was not high, Pu Zuyin I saved all my money and spent more than 300 marks to buy an electric guitar for my eldest son Pu Shi and a synthesizer for Pu Shu when I was studying in East Germany.

At that time, 300 marks was equivalent to 3,000. Yuan, while the monthly salary of domestic scholars at the same time was basically no more than 100 yuan. Professor Pu was so willing just because “the children like it. ”

Later, Pu Shi became a businessman, and Pu Shu became a musician.

The reason why they were able to live the lives they longed for was because their father respected them. Their interests and choices.

After Pu Shu became famous, someone once asked Professor Pu: “Didn’t you stop your son from following your path? ”

Professor Pu replied: “I don’t understand music myself, but I respect children’s interests. Music was his life, just as academics were my life.

In fact, Professor Pu is humble. Not only does he understand music, but his violin has also reached the first level.

In this world, most parents are extremely controlling. Not only will they stifle their children's interests and dreams, but in severe cases, they will ruin a child's bright future.

In addition to his extraordinary talent, Pu Shu’s achievements today are inseparable from his relaxed family education. It is precisely because his father respects his interest that he will study music. The road becomes wider and wider as we go.

Japanese writer Kotaro Isaka once said: "It's terrible to think that you don't have to take an exam to become a parent."

I deeply believe that although it is a lot of bitterness and difficulty for parents to raise children, in fact, some parents do not know what true love is.

They like to use their "parental" rights to interfere in their children's future, and under the banner of "it's all for your own good", let their children take the path they think is right.

Such an approach will not only affect the parent-child relationship, but also delay the child's future.

Smart parents, on the other hand, will only give their opinions when their children face major decisions, and leave the subsequent choices to their children. They respect their children's interests and hobbies and support their children in pursuing their own ideals.

Therefore, smart parents will understand the truth: the true love for a child is not how much money you give him, nor how many roads you walk or how many decisions you make for him, but how much respect you give him.

This is not just an attitude, but also a kind of civilization and education.
