Dunhuang Grottoes is a well-deserved national treasure, its artistic value is immeasurable, in the early years of China's people have no concept of protecting works of art, until later realized the preciousness of works of art. When it comes to the Dunhuang Grottoes, many people will think of Chang Shuhong, who has dedicated his life to the protection of the murals, and in the early years, even if the conditions were difficult, he did not have the idea of giving up.
Although he voluntarily gave everything he had to the preservation of cultural relics, his wife could not bear such suffering, but chose to elope with others. Why did his wife choose to betray him? What kind of life story did they have after that?
Chang Shuhong and his wife Chen Xiuzhi lived in Paris in the early years, and the two had good economic conditions and lived a very comfortable life. One day, he saw the photos of the Dunhuang Grottoes and was shocked by this beautiful work of art, so he decided to return to China to protect the grottoes, and although his wife was reluctant in her heart, she still followed him back to China.
Because the conditions in Dunhuang were very difficult, his wife's psychological gap was obvious, and Chang Shuhong was also sad to see his wife so lost. He introduced his student to his wife, and his student and his wife were fellow countrymen, and the two of them really saw each other at first sight.
What he did not expect was that they actually had an ambiguous affection, and finally his wife chose to elope with the students. After knowing this news, Chang Shuhong was devastated, and he did not expect that his wife would actually betray him. But he was not overwhelmed by these changes, and he soon became strong and devoted himself to his career. He had to take care of a pair of children outside of work, and his life was very hard, but he never wanted to give up.
It takes a lot of money to maintain the grotto, and he can't complete the repair by his own strength, so he has to mobilize the masses to donate money, fortunately, there are more well-meaning people, and these funds make his work much less difficult.
Later, the state paid more and more attention to works of art, and he was praised for his previous commitment to the protection of cultural relics, and then he personally went to Beijing to hold exhibitions, and later went to foreign countries as a representative of China to promote Chinese culture. In addition, he also met his current wife Li Chengxian, who went to Dunhuang with many art students to study and get acquainted with Chang Shuhong, after which the two fell in love and married each other, and Chang Shuhong was no longer alone with the company of his lover.
Chang Shuhong's life is getting better and better, and in his old age, his family is happy and complete, fame and fortune are both harvested, there is no shortage of anything, and the efforts of his youth have finally received a rich gift from fate. Did his ex-wife live a life of wealth? The answer is no. Not long after she eloped with her students, the students were imprisoned for certain problems, and she remarried to an ordinary person, living a rather hard life, even needing to give people a part-time job to get by, which was in stark contrast to Chang Shuhong's decent old age.
If it were not for the ex-wife's greed for wealth and reluctance to spend time with her lover, her old age would not have been so miserable. Chang Shuhong's children are reluctant to forgive their biological mothers, because their mothers chose to abandon them when they were young, and the children whose fathers have suffered over the years are in their eyes.
Chang Shuhong went to Dunhuang to engage in the work of protecting works of art is voluntary, he did not want to get anything from it, but in the end he had everything, and his ex-wife wanted everything, could not suffer, but in the end she tasted all the suffering, had to let people lament the mysterious fate, create people.
