1938年,华罗庚结束在英国剑桥大学的进修,回到战火纷飞的祖国。经过千里跋涉,他终于在距故乡千里之遥的昆明,找到了半年多来杳无音讯的妻子和孩子。他到西南联大数学系任教,刚开始,一家六口与闻一多一家八口合住在一间不到二十平方米的厢房里。后来实在因为拥挤不堪,华罗庚只好在西郊普吉附近找了个牛圈,用最便宜的价格把牛圈上头用来堆草的楼棚租了下来。牛住下头,他们一家人住上面。 In 1938, Hua Luogeng ended his studies at Cambridge, England, and returned to a war-torn motherland. After a long journey, he finally found his wife and children who lived for more than six months in Kunming, thousands of miles away from his hometown. He taught at the Department of Mathematics of the Southwest United University. From the very beginning, a family of six and Wen Yiduo, a family of eight, co-lived in a room of less than 20 square meters. Later, actually because of overcrowding, Hua Luogeng had to find a cattle ring in the vicinity of Phuket in the western suburbs, with the cheapest price on the top of the ring rented the shed shed grass. Cattle head down, they live above a family.
