After graduating from Soochow University in 1932, Yang Jiang enrolled in the graduate school of Tsinghua University where she met her husbandQian Zhongshu. During 1935–1938, they went to Oxford and University of London for further study.
At that time, they had their daughter Qian Yuan (錢瑗). They returned to China in 1938. Both Yang and Qian went to academics and made important contributions to the development of Chinese culture. + p2 P( b0 H' B- P4 v
Widow (遗孀) of the scholar-novelist Qian Zhongshu, she wrote a memoir (自传) called We Three (我們仨), recalling her husband and her daughter Qian Yuan (錢瑗) (1937–1997), who died of cancer one year before her father's death.
Another memoir penned by her is Six Chapters from My Life 'Downunder' (幹校六記), a lyrical and humorous record of the difficult times faced by Yang and her husband when they were sent to work on farms in the late '60s and early '70s during the Cultural Revolution.
At the age of 96, she surprised the world with her latest work Reaching the Brink of Life (走到人生邊上), a philosophic work whose title in Chinese clearly alludes to her late husband's collection of essays Marginalia to Life (寫在人生邊上).( Y" d m' m& r& R$ ?
我也不知道自己如今身在境界第几重。年轻时曾和社会学家费孝通讨论爱因斯坦的相对论,不懂。有一天忽然明白了:时间跑,地球在转,即使同样的地点也没有一天是完全相同的。现在我也这样,感觉每一天都是新的,每天看叶子的变化, 听鸟的啼鸣, 都不一样, 可谓是 “New experiences and new feeling in everyday."
最后,让我们来欣赏一下杨绛先生翻译英国诗人Walter Savage Landor的诗文。I strove with none, / s# }5 A, m+ A& jfor none was worth my strife; Nature I lov’d, and next to Nature, Art; I warm’d both hands before the fire of life; It sinks, and I am ready to depart. 3 r4 N8 L.

杨绛先生一路走好。
愿您在天堂与丈夫,爱女团聚。
