Sometimes what can really enter people's hearts is not a large-scale film and television drama with a luxurious appearance, nor an idol drama full of first-line stars, but some simple and unpretentious rural emotional dramas that are close to life.
This is the case with "Mountain Village with Flowers", which aired last year.
On the day of broadcasting, it was unanimously praised by the whole network, and the ratings were also in the forefront.
Everyone praised Ma Shihong and Yu Lihong for handling the image and psychological interpretation of the role in place.
This TV series truly and meticulously depicts the living conditions of farmers in the north, which has resonated with the broad masses of the people.
Among them, Ma Shihong and Yu Lihong, two old actors, performed passionately, which is the main reason.
Ma Shihong believes that everyone is also familiar with it, and has starred in "Crossing the Yalu River" and "Zhaojun Out of the Jam", which can be said to carry the screen memories of a generation.
There is a saying that goes well: "Behind a successful man there is always a woman who silently supports him".
Ma Shihong's back is also a virtuous wife like Yu Lihong, who can come to this day.
Yu Lihong, as a northern actress with a drama background, has been silently supporting Ma Shihong's work for many years, but few people know about it.
As husband and wife, the two people have walked together for more than twenty years, in the same boat, with the same weal and woe.
So, how did Yu Lihong meet Ma Shihong?
How did two people get married?
What have you been through over the years?
01
Yu Lihong was born in 1969 to an ordinary family in Tangshan, Hebei Province.
Unlike other children, she has shown a good talent for acting since she was a child.
The singing and dancing in the school, the drama performance are all in question, and the appearance is also very fresh and beautiful, and she is free of a quite talented little beauty.
Yu Lihong, who longed for the temple of art, was admitted to the Northeast Provincial Art School when she was a teenager and entered a professional college.
Unexpectedly, in the years of studying in the art school, Yu Lihong not only achieved success in her studies, but also met the person who accompanied her all her life.
He is Ma Shihong.
Ma Shihong was born in Hegang, Heilongjiang, and like Yu Lihong, he also came here with a heart to become an actor.
Ma Shihong's most prominent advantage is diligence.
During the art school period, he got up at 5:30 every morning and couldn't move.
After cleaning the class in the morning, wake up the class and supervise everyone to practice the basic skills together.
It can be said that the good atmosphere of diligent study and hard work at that time was brought up by Ma Shihong.
Ma Shihong, who was in charge of diligence, quickly gained the recognition of her classmates and became a famous person in the school.
Not only was her academic performance outstanding, Ma Shihong herself was young and tall, handsome in appearance, and was the object of admiration of many girls at that time.
Yu Lihong is one of them.
Unlike most of her classmates, she is from Tangshan City, Hebei Province, although she is a foreigner, her lively and cheerful personality is also very pleasing among her classmates.
At that time, the art school was strictly managed, and even if Yu Lihong had more admiration and thoughts for Ma Shihong, she could only press it deeply in her heart and did not dare to show it.
As for Ma Shihong, in fact, she has long noticed this cute girl.
Fortunately, near graduation, Heaven finally gave this pair of bitter Mandarin ducks a chance.
Near graduation, Yu Lihong accidentally got an opportunity to co-perform with Ma Shihong in the drama "A Little Citizen Drunk with Nobility".
The two men played the male and female protagonists beautifully, ushering in the unanimous praise of the audience, and after the performance, the applause was endless.
Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, Ma Shihong pulled Yu Lihong to the piano room, ready to show her charm to her beloved girl.
A song "My Sun" made Yu Lihong completely immersed in Ma Shihong's elegant and calm temperament.
After playing the piano song, Ma Shihong began to confess affectionately: This piece is dedicated to you, you know? To me, you are the sun. ”
"We'll be graduating soon, and I don't know if you're willing to accept my love?" Ma Shihong, who is usually bold, has become a cautious little boy in the face of love.
Yu Lihong smiled shyly: What do you say? All this, can I still refuse you? ”
So the two people formalized the relationship, and more than twenty years of partner life began.
After graduation, Yu Lihong also gave Ma Shihong the love diary she had accumulated over the years to commemorate that special and beautiful day.
As a loyal man, Ma Shihong has been carefully keeping these and promise keepsakes for many years, carrying them wherever people go.
Soon after Yu Lihong and Ma Shihong confirmed their relationship, they took their boyfriends to meet their families.
Yu Lihong's grandmother saw that Ma Shihong was tall and old-fashioned, and couldn't help but ask her granddaughter worriedly: "Child, is this person reliable?" Wouldn't it be a second-time marriage? ”
Grandma's words will make Li Hong laugh, she explained: "Of course, he is not a bad person, he is my middle school classmate, and he is good to me." ”
In this way, Grandma and her family still did not believe it, and wanted to check Ma Shihong's household registration and specific circumstances.
After personally investigating, I confirmed the relationship between the two of them.
After graduating from Heilongjiang Art School, the two entered the Harbin Theater and became colleagues again.
A few years after entering the theater, because of her outstanding performance, Ma Shihong and her girlfriend were commended as backbone actors and became the pillars of the Harbin Theater Troupe.
Although he has made small achievements in the local area, Ma Shihong is not satisfied, and his dream is a bigger stage.
It was also from here that the trajectory of the two people's destinies began to change.
02
As she grew older, Yu Lihong couldn't help but look forward to a happy life after combining with Ma Shihong, and she hoped that Ma Shihong could propose marriage a day earlier so that she could give herself a home.
But Ma Shihong's move was not as Yu Lihong had hoped.
In 1996, Ma Shihong, who was close to the age of establishment, suddenly proposed that she wanted to go to Chinese opera for further study and stretch her fists and feet in a larger world.
Ordinary people may feel incomprehensible, career love is not easy to stabilize, and what books to read?
But Yu Lihong, who has been staying by Ma Shihong's side, understands that the small place of Harbin restricts the development of his lover, and he should have the right to bravely pursue his dreams.
Although Yu Lihong still hopes to marry and have children with her boyfriend as soon as possible in her heart, for the sake of Ma Shihong's future, she abandoned her wishes and ideas and turned into a woman who silently supports him behind his back.
So, the two people made a ridiculous agreement: Ma Shihong went to study in Chinese opera, and the living expenses and tuition fees were all borne by Li Hong.
Yu Lihong is only a weak woman, and Ma Shihong has nothing to do with the law, so why should she help him bear such a big responsibility?
After many people around them heard about it, they dissuaded Yu Lihong from doing this.
"You and he are not yet married, why did you make such a great sacrifice?"
"You are not stupid, you are wasting your youth and time."
Even if there were more gossip in the outside world, Yu Lihong didn't care, because she deeply understood a truth in her heart: this man was worth doing this herself, and that was enough.
During the period of providing for her boyfriend, Yu Lihong was exceptionally diligent, not only thrifty and thrifty in her daily life, but also received many different types of plays at work, not only limited to dramas.
For example, her sketch "Nanny", a kind and vivid performance touched the hearts of many audiences and attracted the attention of many comedians.
This was also the opportunity for Yu Lihong to receive An invitation from Zhao Benshan later.
At that time, when Zhao Benshan was recruiting talents in the three northeastern provinces, he met such a good seedling as Yu Lihong, and he couldn't help but issue an invitation to invite her to perform a sketch with him.
Unfortunately, Yu Lihong, as an important pillar of the troupe, is very valued, and under the persuasion of parents on both sides, Yu Lihong is difficult to ride a tiger and does not know what to do.
Finally, for the sake of her boyfriend and stable financial resources, Yu Lihong gave up the great opportunity to perform with Zhao Benshan and continued to stay in the Harbin Theater.
If it were not for the heavy burden on her body, Yu Lihong might be able to break out of her own piece of the sky and become an excellent sketch actor.
Before rejecting Zhao Benshan, Yu Lihong had already made some achievements in the field of drama, and the wonderful performance of "Moth" made Yu Lihong famous and won as many as 13 awards.
At that time, Yu Lihong was already an actress who had made great achievements in many fields.
But Yu Lihong's vision is also correct, and the people she likes are also very outstanding.
Later, Ma Shihong really lived up to expectations, from small TV series to large productions, step by step, and gradually became a well-known actor in China.
During his time as a graduate student in Chinese opera, he did not forget his promise to his wife, and has been studying hard and training basic skills.
After graduation, he entered the China Railway Literary and Labor Troupe, and over the years, Ma Shihong felt very ashamed of her girlfriend and delayed her time for so many years.
Soon after, the two were married.
Although Yu Lihong finally cultivated for many years, she became Ma Shihong's official wife.
But the marriage of two people is still not secure, there is no house, and they do not work and live together.
As a long-distance couple, Yu Lihong often has to run between Beijing and Harbin, which is very inconvenient.
After marriage, both husband and wife began to transform and filmed many TV series: Ma Shihong participated in "Zhaojun Out of the Plug" and "The Young Man in the Crop Yard"; Yu Lihong participated in plays such as "Holy Water Lakeside" and "Days of Love".
"Since it is difficult to have opportunities in life, then create opportunities at work" Ma Shihong implemented this purpose, often cooperating with her wife in acting.
However, the two have a very low-key life style, and even if they often work together, there are many people who do not know their relationship.
Gradually, the works of the two people increased, and there was also a great popularity and enthusiastic response throughout the country.
Finally, in 2006, Ma Shihong bought a house with a mortgage in Beijing, giving her wife, who had been wandering for many years, a warm home.
At this time, the two people are not young, Yu Lihong is also more than 35 years old, parents on both sides can't help but start to be anxious, seeing that Ma Shihong has a hard time buying a house, they have urged the couple to get married and have children as soon as possible.
But in the face of the family's pressure, they did not take it seriously, but went back to do their parents' work, feeling that they are now in the rising stage of their careers, and their children can want it later, but there is no work missed.
Even if the four old people are no longer convinced, what can they do?
I had to let Ma Shihong and Yu Lihong, two "rebellious children", watch and do it by themselves.
03
Fast forward to 2015, Yu Lihong and Ma Shihong have a certain status and popularity in the industry, and they decided to start conceiving their own children.
But both of them are in their forties and have long missed the best fertility period.
How to wait for the baby to disappear, Ma Shihong in order to increase the chance of giving birth to a child, but also specially found a few more plays that can be performed with his wife, you can have more time to get along.
Ma Shihong and Yu Lihong are well known as husband and wife actors in a play: "The Little Woman Under the Gate of Zhengyang".
In 2017, director Liu Jiacheng was preparing to shoot the TV series "Little Woman Under the Gate of Zhengyang", but he could not decide on the actor of the role "He Yongqiang".
In the process of screening actors, Liu Jiacheng found that Ma Shihong was quite good and very compatible with his casting requirements, so he invited him.
After the role was finalized, the director also suggested that Ma Shihong could recommend some good actresses to participate in the play together.
Isn't that the right opportunity? Ma Shihong immediately recommended her wife.
Yu Lihong came to the set, and after some review, she won the recognition of Liu Jiacheng.
The two have been in the crew for a long time, and everyone can see that they are husband and wife.
But Ma Shihong and Yu Lihong never missed their work because of talking about love, on the contrary, they acted this play to a new height.
In particular, Ma Shihong's sentence "You say that you are angry is not", and it is also out of the circle.
Since then, Ma's couple has truly become the envy of both inside and outside the circle.
Unconsciously, in 2022, Ma Shihong and Yu Lihong have already passed the fifty mark.
Although there are no children, this does not affect their love.
When there is nothing to do, they often sit together on the balcony, flipping through photo albums and old things from the past, recalling the past, incomparably warm and happy.
Perhaps, as Yu Lihong thought back then, she was worth it for this man.
If there is no previous dedication, it may not be exchanged for Ma Shihong's dead heart today and her current happy life.
Ma Shihong and Yu Lihong first met at Heilongjiang Art School, and as the top of the class, the two attracted each other under the ignorance of adolescence.
Near graduation, I finally decided on a relationship and became a couple.
After that, they both entered the Harbin Theater and became the core actors there.
Near the age of thirty, the little couple who should have married and reported that their children would live a stable life had changed drastically because of Ma Shihong's ideas.
He proposed that he wanted to study in Chinese opera and go to Beijing to break in.
At that time, Ma Shihong had no money and no room, and she was so arrogant and arrogant that ordinary women would definitely not accept it.
But Yu Lihong is different, she has both the charm that can attract Ma Shihong and the courage to stabilize him.
In the face of Ma Shihong's bold words, Yu Lihong just calmly replied: "Good, you go." All costs are borne by me. ”
Ma Shihong can have such a platform, all because Yu Lihong is shielding him from the wind and rain.
Of course, Ma Shihong herself is also a person who cherishes love and righteousness, and immediately after completing her studies, she took her lover to Beijing and received a marriage license.
Although it is not easy to work hard in Beijing, Ma Shihong has never given up.
As a small role from Harbin, he has been working hard to fight for the role, so he slowly got on the right track and later became a national second-level actor.
Yu Lihong was also deeply infected by her husband and devoted herself to the film and television drama industry, leaving behind many classic roles and works.
Husband and wife join forces and can be called models in the show business world.
The only pity is that Ma Shihong and Yu Lihong have not been able to hold the child to this day, and the two people are too focused on their careers, so they have forgotten the matter of passing on the generations.
Although Ma Shihong tried her best to create opportunities later, the results have always been less than ideal.
Unconsciously, the two people entered the fifty-year-old mark, and although they had regrets, they still lived happily.
Perhaps Yu Lihong could choose not to provide for Ma Shihong and continue to live her own life, in the small circle of Northeast Dialect 剧️, there were several children, enjoying the joy of being a parent.
But everything has to be lost, since Yu Lihong gave up going to the bigger world, she will restrain herself from staying in the northeast, being a frog at the bottom of the well with limited vision, and there is no opportunity to contact film and television dramas, which occupies a place in the hearts of audiences across the country.
There will be no such deep bond with her husband Ma Shihong, and the two people will love so deeply.
If Yu Lihong did not agree at that time, it is very likely that she and Ma Shihong would part ways and embark on a completely different path, and the entertainment industry would not have today's good story.
Therefore, cherishing the things and people in front of you and doing your best is the best choice at the moment.
