Key to Exercises

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.

exchanged letters with Polly, his wife. Frank, away in England, wrote

each other and comforted each other with the expectation for their

reunion in the future. Tragically, however, Frank was killed in the
