Sixty Years of Marriage: The Fireworks Life of a Chemistry Twin takes the 60-year marriage of chemists Lin Huizhen and Gu Jingming as the main line, and connects the life epic of a pair of "chemistry stars" from their youthful love to mutual affection. They met and fell in love for the first time at the foot of Luojia Mountain. The two became partners with scientific research ideals and enthusiasm for life, and started the years of "test tube and cradle" coexisting on the campus of Jiangnan University.
They have experienced the fierce pull between career and childcare in Tongzilou. They have adhered to their original academic aspirations and family warmth in the storms of special times. They have gone from disputes and games to tolerance and support in life issues such as professional title evaluation, children's further education, and family property distribution. From working side by side to overcome scientific research problems in their youth, to working together to raise three children in middle age, to staying together in their empty-nest years in their later years, their love did not have a grand vow, but it became more mellow in the trivial matters of daily necessities and ups and downs.
The novel not only shows the persistence of scientific researchers towards their ideals, but also depicts the warm fireworks of ordinary families. It expresses the true meaning of understanding and tolerance in marriage, and the weight of responsibility and inheritance in family ties. Over the past sixty years, they have transformed from young scholars to white-haired old men, from a world of two people to a family full of descendants. They spent their lives interpreting the most touching emotional life.
