…

Wu Mengchao's students and close friends wrote words to commemorate him

Professor Chen Xunru came from Kunming to pay tribute to his mentor

There are many netizens

By leaving a message

Wrote a tribute to Mr. Wu:

Returning from a young age to study medicine and devoting oneself to research

Middle-aged people carefully cultivate and teach tirelessly

In old age, he cared about his hometown and gave back to his hometown

Can't do without

The wife's silent support and companionship

Like the memorial statues of the two elders, leaning against each other

Compose their harmonious love story

Attract each other and accompany each other silently

When Wu Mengchao was 5 years old

I followed my mother to Malaysia to join my father.

In 1940, 18-year-old Wu Mengchao

I heard that our motherland was ravaged by foreign invaders.

Determined to return to China to fight against the Japanese

But found that it was impossible to go to Yan'an

So I stayed in Kunming

Embarked on the road of saving the country through reading

When I was studying at the Tongji University Affiliated Middle School in Kunming

Wu Mengchao met his future wife and classmate Wu Peiyu

During the days of studying

Two young people attracted to each other

Encourage and support each other

Wu Peiyu is from Kunming and his family is better off than Wu Mengchao

Wu Peiyu provided a lot of help to Wu Mengchao in life

In winter, Wu Peiyu saw Wu Mengchao wearing very little clothes

I knitted a sweater for him.

Wu Mengchao was very moved

Studying medicine for love

Tongji's three most famous departments are science, engineering, and medicine.

When I graduated from high school

Wu Mengchao originally wanted to apply for engineering

Wu Peiyu said

Studying medicine contributes more to mankind

So under Wu Peiyu's persuasion

They both applied for medical school.

1943

Wu Mengchao and Wu Peiyu were both admitted

National Tongji University School of Medicine

On the one hand, reading together

On the one hand, love

Emotions are heating up

In 1949, they graduated

Entered the marriage hall in 1951

It can be said

Wu Mengchao was influenced by his wife

Studying medicine for love

They are lovers

Also like-minded friends

As a colleague

Also a soul mate

Encourage each other and grow together

A model of love that has lasted for 60 years

The two met in Kunming in 1941.

Married in Shanghai in 1951

Wu Peiyu died in 2011.

Seventy years of relationship

Sixty years of marriage

Wu Mengchao and his wife have always been

Model couple in the eyes of the public

Doctors are busy

But the two never quarreled

Wu Peiyu once said

"When Lao Wu and I were young

More working in hospitals

It's rare to have time together

So there will be no quarrel

When you get older

Know how to sympathize and understand each other

There will be no quarrels.”

"Wu Mengchao is well-educated

No matter how annoying things are at work,

Don't bring your emotions home.

At most, I can complain twice."

What more could a husband ask for with a wife like this?

Wu Peiyu is a famous obstetrician and gynecologist

Superb skills and great accomplishments

He has participated in the compilation of many obstetrics and gynecology textbooks.

She's doing well in her career

He also took good care of Wu Mengchao and the children.

Wu Mengchao left home at a young age

Experienced all the sufferings of the world

It was Wu Peiyu who gave it to him

Stable and warm homeland

Wu Mengchao once said

"We have lived together for so many years

We know each other so well.

Most of the time I don't talk

You know what the other person is thinking.

She is very supportive of me.

Without her support

I also have a hard time doing my job.

I thank her from the bottom of my heart.”

After Wu Peiyu's death

Wu Mengchao once said guiltily

“I didn’t take good care of her.

Didn't take good care of her

She sometimes tells me

Treating home as a hotel

But whenever I have a new task

She will tell me

Just do it with confidence

Don't worry about the house, I'll do it."

Knowing and loving each other since childhood

To walk through the long years hand in hand

Their love story

Very moving

Rest in peace, Mr. Wu

In the sky

I can be reunited with my wife.

He once said

The patient's life is more important than his reputation.

What is a doctor’s benevolence?

Mr. Wu spent his whole life interpreting

Now his spirit is in the new era

In another way

Preserved and passed on
