Opener
Suggested answers for reference
1. Qian Zhongshu was a Chinese literary
scholar and writer, best known for his wit
and great academic knowledge. One of
his most famous novels is
Fortress
Besieged
(
《围城》
). Yang
Jiang was a Chinese playwright, author, and
translator.
Her memoir
We
Three
(
《我们仨》
)
recalls memories of her late husband, Qian
Zhongshu, and her daughter, Qian Yuan,
who died before her father.
David
Beckham is an English former professional
footballer, and the first English
player to win league titles in four
countries: England, Spain, the United States and
France. David is married to Victoria
Beckham, an English businesswoman, fashion
designer, model, and singer. They have
four children.
2.
Qian and
Yang’s romance began when they met at Tsinghua
Universi
ty after Yang
Jiang
enrolled in the graduate school in 1932. They
married in 1935.
David started dating
Victoria in 1997, after she attended a charity
football match.
The couple announced
their engagement in 1998 and married in 1999.
3. During the Cultural Revolution, like
many other prominent intellectuals of the time,
Qian Zhongshu
and Yang Jiang
were “sent down”, doing “reform through labor”
in
a “cadre school” in Henan
from
1969 to 1972.
The
challenge David and Victoria have come across is
media attention. They are
both famous,
so their relationship has attracted a great deal
of media attention from
its very
beginning.
