Before the age of 5, Deng Qinghua and his wife often took their grandchildren to "drama addiction".
The daimyō of Hebei is next to Nanle County in Puyang, and the locals also like Yu opera.
In his early years, Deng Qinghua worked as a musician in the county theater troupe and was a complete fan of the play.
Grandson Deng Minghe has just been born, and the child's parents are busy making money to support the family.
So the matter of taking care of his grandson fell on his old wife.
Every day at home, I turn on the TV to watch drama channels, and every week Henan TV's "Pear Garden Spring" has not fallen behind.
During the day, he still holds his grandson and goes to an amateur theater troupe formed by a few old friends.
If there is a troupe performing something, no matter how far away, he will also take his wife and grandson to see it together.
Nothing could be happier than this.
For the young grandson Deng Minghe, it is the so-called near Zhu Zhichi.
Grandpa and grandma like to watch drama, and they also have a great influence on children in a subtle way.
One day at home, the TV was on, and my grandson watched so intently that he couldn't even ask him to eat.
And every time he takes him out to see a play, he is also very interested in the colorful clothes of the actors on the stage.
After coming and going, everyone around them said: "Old Deng, do you have a successor, and it is not good to cultivate?" ”
Just as the so-called speaker has no intention of listening, Deng Qinghua and his wife and children watch "Pear Garden Spring" every week.
Some of the children on the stage took the stage when they were three or four years old.
This is definitely the result of the careful cultivation of the adults in the family.
Deng Qinghua consulted with his wife and children, and simply let his grandson learn drama.
If we really learn it one day, don't we have a radiance on our faces?
When all was said and done, Deng Qinghua decided to find a school for his grandson.
Henan is the hometown of Yu opera, and the name is very close to Henan,
Deng Qinghua's searching gaze focused on Henan at the beginning.
He searched all the way south and finally found Huaiyang County in Zhoukou.
There is a drama school in Huaiyang County, which specializes in training children.
At that time, a friend of Deng Qinghua's was working in Zhengzhou, and this school was still heard by his friend.
The reason why it was so troublesome was because his grandson Deng Minghe was only about four years old at that time.
Life is completely unable to take care of itself, so it is necessary to find a more reliable school.
After the Spring Festival in 2010, his family officially decided to send him to Huaiyang.
Deng Qinghua went to the station to buy tickets, and when he inquired, there was no car leading to Huaiyang in Daming.
Later, accompanied by their old wives and children, the two people took their grandchildren and went to their friends in Zhengzhou first.
When Deng Qinghua arrived in Zhengzhou, he learned that Huaiyang was still more than two hundred kilometers away from Zhengzhou.
Looking at the little grandson bouncing around, Deng Qinghua and his wife were a little hesitant.
The child was still young, and he couldn't bear to send it so far away.
Friends are still asking them, when are they leaving?
Deng Qinghua told his friend a few days later: "Go home and discuss with your grandson's parents." ”
He and his wife brought the child home again.
Children around the age of four, not to mention life, are still wetting the bed at night.
Deng Qinghua was reluctant to leave his grandson so far away.
And he knows that the opera industry is very strict, and every morning when practicing, children may not be able to stand it at all.
However, after returning home, he and his wife's other inner thoughts gradually gained the upper hand.
It may also be feasible for children to go out and practice from an early age.
After struggling for a while, Deng Qinghua took his grandson and his wife and children and boarded the car heading south again.
At that time, Deng Minghe was still young, and he didn't know what to do or what the difference was.
The first time on the train, everything he saw was fresh.
When I arrived in Huaiyang and went through the formalities, my grandson had to stay in school.
At that time, Deng Qinghua and his old partner and children looked at their grandson, and he did not have any parting pain.
Instead, in the car back, he and his wife cried intermittently all the way.
Back at home, both felt that something was missing around them.
Without the sound of children arguing all day, Deng Qinghua was not at all comfortable.
Just after ten days, he and his wife couldn't help but board the southbound car again.
This time is different from the first time, because Deng Minghe felt the taste of leaving home,
So, the moment I saw my grandparents, I quickly ran to them.
However, the old couple took one look at their grandson and were about to leave again.
Gradually, half a month became the time limit for meeting my grandson.
Later, Deng Minghe also figured out this law.
Every time Grandpa and Grandma came, he followed them step by step, afraid that they would suddenly run away.
Once, at school, Deng Qinghua went to the toilet, and Sun followed him like a tail.
At that moment, Deng Qinghua had a feeling of tearing his heart and lungs.
However, this parting pain seems to be worth it for the family.
A few months later, under the school's arrangement, Deng Minghe walked into Henan Television.
He participated in the selection of "Pear Garden Spring" and became the children's champion of that issue.
Getting this news, Deng Qinghua and his wife were naturally very happy.
At this time, their granddaughter is also growing up day by day, watching Deng Minghe begin to emerge on the stage of opera,
The family also wants to send their daughter to school to learn drama.
It's just that at that time, the granddaughter was younger than the grandson, and whether she could withstand this high-pressure learning environment was still unknown.
In the end, after the family discussed, it was decided to send Deng Minghe's sister Deng Minglu to the school.
However, both children went to study in other places, and the family could not rest assured.
Deng Qinghua and his wife decided to go to Huaiyang to live with their two children.
In this way, Deng Qinghua and his wife and children lived a life of accompanying students in other places.
They rented a house in the county town, in order to pick up two children every day to go to school,
Deng Qinghua bought a second-hand three-wheeled motorcycle.
Being able to be with my grandparents every day, the two children are naturally very happy.
Especially Deng Minglu, she is willing to go to school, mainly because she wants to be with her brother.
Every day, Deng Qinghua uses an electric tricycle to take his wife and two children to school.
Wait until the evening to pick up the two children from school and return to the rental house.
When my granddaughter was sent to school, it was the spring of 2011.
After more than half a year, in addition to studying at school, Deng Qinghua often gave her a "small stove" at home.
Every morning before dawn, the two children were chased up by him to hang their throats.
In the evening, after eating, I had to practice for a while before I could go to bed.
After all, children are not adults and cannot always be in the best condition.
Sometimes Deng Qinghua was supervising from the sidelines, and when he found that his granddaughter or grandson had deserted, he would severely reprimand them.
After all, the granddaughter is small, often can't stand the fright, often the grandfather will cry when he talks.
"Don't be so loud, look at the child." Grandma will always come forward at this time, and she is very distressed about the child.
"Leave it alone, I'm teaching them." Deng Qinghua was often unmoved.
Sometimes, he simply shut his granddaughter in a room to practice.
The child slowly adapted later, and in the state of no one, he learned quickly.
However, Grandpa's methods are often destroyed by grandchildren.
Sometimes when he was not ready, Deng Minghe always sneaked into the house to talk to his sister.
As long as the two children got together, everything Deng Qinghua taught would not work.
The granddaughter is still young, and she likes to follow her brother in everything.
Especially at school, her brother was her only relative.
Every day on the tricycle to school, the two children are giggling,
The age difference is not much, and they all have each other in their hearts.
Especially Deng Minghe, don't look at it as a child, he already understands that he is a brother.
Whether it is study or life, I know to let my sister.
In the blink of an eye, spring went to summer, deng Qinghua and his wife and children went to Zhengzhou with two children.
The eldest grandson has frequently appeared on television, and the opportunity for future development is definitely in the provincial capital.
Deng Minghe's younger sister also participated in "Pear Garden Spring" that year, becoming the youngest contestant.
Therefore, it is not difficult to see that Deng Qinghua's plan for the two children is very clear.
Let them participate in the opera competition program, and after gaining fame, they will have everything.
After arriving in Zhengzhou, in addition to continuing to study drama, Deng Minghe grew older day by day because of his age.
The family is also ready for him to start learning cultural knowledge.
Since the second half of the year, Deng Minghe has frequently participated in various variety shows.
And at the end of the year, he also stood on the stage of the central stage.
At that time, when the game was playing, Deng Qinghua also went to the scene with his granddaughter.
This naturally aroused the interest of the program group.
The director saw Deng Minglu's live performance and immediately decided to let her participate in the next year's program.
In 2012, Deng Minglu also participated in the program "I want to go to the Spring Festival Gala".
Due to the successful promotion, the director team decided that she and her brother would participate in the 2013 Spring Festival Gala together.
For Deng Qinghua, the rapid training in the past few years seems to have worked.
In 2012, Deng Minghe, who appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, was also 5 years old, and many people affectionately called him "New Year Painting Doll".
The following year, Deng Minghe and his sister appeared on the Spring Festival Gala together and performed the program "Cutting Flowers".
After all, Deng Minglu's age was still young, and when the Spring Festival Gala was rehearsed, he looked at so many people on the scene.
She had been hiding behind her grandfather.
After that, Deng Qinghua also worried about his granddaughter and lied to her that the Spring Festival Gala was a small stage, not as big as "Pear Garden Spring".
The two brothers and sisters brushed together to debut at the Spring Festival Gala of that year, which also made the popularity of these two children rise rapidly.
Later, under the leadership of grandpa, the two children participated in a series of TV shows.
In particular, participating in the Beijing tv "My Family Has Stars" has changed the trajectory of their destiny.
At that time, the two guests of the show, one was the leader of the third troupe of the National Peking Theatre,
The other is the dean of the Academy of Drama.
They have said that if the children are willing to go to Beijing to develop,
Not only can it become a future orientation student, but also the housing and hukou problems can be solved.
For Deng Qinghua, a farmer, this is undoubtedly a great thing.
So Deng Minghe walked into the Xiluoyuan No. 5 Primary School in Beijing.
Sister Deng Minglu walked into the fourth kindergarten of aerospace.
Deng Qinghua and his wife and children moved from Zhengzhou to Beijing.
At school, Deng Minghe became a celebrity on campus.
Especially in the class, many students want to share a table with him.
Later, the teacher had no choice but to let the students in the class take turns to be Deng Minghe's tablemates.
He became the school's out-and-out "mascot."
However, the smiles on the faces of Deng Qinghua and his wife have not yet dissipated.
A thunderbolt of news suddenly appeared.
In the spring of 2013, Deng Minghe had a repeated high fever.
Deng Qinghua thought it was a cold at first, but he never got better.
Seeing that the child's health was getting more and more serious, the family rushed to send the child to the hospital for detailed examination.
The result was difficult for the whole family to accept – acute leukemia.
For the next six months, Deng Minghe was treated in a children's hospital.
The best way to do leukemia is to get a bone marrow transplant, but finding a match takes time.
While waiting, Deng Minghe received several rounds of chemotherapy.
It was good at first, but after only three months, the condition progressed again.
At the end of 2013, Deng Minghe continued to receive treatment in the hospital.
In the spring of the following year, he officially underwent a bone marrow transplant.
A year or so later, his condition improved briefly.
During this period, accompanied by his family, he still participated in some commercial performances.
Watching the child's condition improve day by day, the family was temporarily relieved.
In 2015, Deng Minghe's condition recurred again.
At this point, his body could not withstand another treatment.
So the hospital underwent interventional palliative treatment, often referred to as hospice care.
On the evening of April 28, 2015, Deng Minghe died of a recurrence of leukemia, two months away, and he was about to celebrate his 9th birthday.
At the funeral on April 29, Deng Minghe's sister held the portrait of her brother and cried bitterly.
The impact of the child's departure on the whole family is enormous.
There are even netizens who angrily scold "Grandpa is the culprit"
But life goes on, and Deng Minglu seems to have become the only hope for the whole family.
In the next few years, as Deng Minglu grew up,
She continued the same growth path as her brother Deng Minghe.
Some people say that children should enjoy the fun of their childhood.
The rules of the adult world should not be imposed on them.
Deng Minghe sang at the age of 2, appeared on stage at the age of 3, and went to the Spring Festival Gala at the age of 5.
The trajectory of his opera road is to walk according to the arrangement of his family.
Because this road looks more like a shortcut than other growth paths.
In fact, there are many children similar to Deng Minghe at present, all walking on the same life trajectory.
The difference was that Deng Minghe's "fate" was not good, and he left this world that he had not yet understood early.
If time can be turned back, I don't know if his grandfather will let his grandson take this path?
