When it comes to discussing physics, one cannot bypass Yu Yisen.
And the story of Yu Yisen's background is somewhat bleak.
He was the only son of Sang Ziming and Yu Guoning. The year Sang Ziming died, Yu Yisen was only seven years old. Although he was the legitimate eldest son, having such a stepmother meant he not only did not receive everything rightfully his but lived in constant fear.
Struggling until his teenage years, he found an opportunity and went abroad to study.
Shen Qiunong was the wife he married while overseas.
In the years when Yu Yisen made his name, his wife Shen Qiunong followed suit and basked in his glory.
But in truth, Shen Qiunong had her own career. She was a reputed literary translator; it was just that her husband's brilliance slightly overshadowed her own.
