Speaking of Tian Hua, everyone may be a little strange, especially for the post-80s and post-90s generation.
Because her fame history is too long, the era that belongs to her has been traced back to the early days of the founding of the Country.
But when it comes to the masterpieces of the movies she starred in, I believe everyone may be familiar with them.
For example, "Xi'er" in the 1950 movie "The White-Haired Girl" and Li Yumei in the 1958 movie "Daughter of the Party".
Of course, in addition to these, as a successful and respected female artist,
She also has a series of masterpieces. In fact, not only is Tian Hua very good, but her husband is also outstanding enough.
He is Su Fan, unlike Tian Hua, who has always been active in front of the screen, most of the time Su Fan who is behind the scenes is not so well known.
But the circles familiar with them know the fame of the two people, and their love story is enough to make posterity envious,
Today I will tell you about this happy couple.
Love during the anti-Japanese period
The year the two met dates back to December 1944.
That year, Su Fan finished his studies at the North China United University and was assigned to the Anti-Enemy Drama Club of the Political Department of the Jin-Cha-Ji Military Region.
And here, he met his future partner for the first time, his lover Tian Hua.
Su Fan was washing his face in a fellow family's house, and when he looked up, he found a girl who lifted the curtain and smiled at him.
And Su Fan was a little enchanted by this sudden girl, he had never seen such a beautiful girl,
In particular, a pair of dark and bright eyes made him unable to move his eyes at the first glance.
The girl also noticed his actions, and suddenly her cheeks turned red, and she laughed and turned her head and walked out.
This girl was Tian Hua, who was only 16 years old that year, the best jasper year in her life. And the purpose of her coming is precisely to see this legendary "foreign student".
Because Su Fan once studied at Baoding Junior College, for people of that era, he was already a well-educated person. It should be known that Tian Hua himself did not study for several years and joined the revolution early on.
But what the two did not know was that in fact, both belonged to hebei compatriots, Su Fan was born in Zhuozhou, Hebei, and Tian Hua was born in Tangshan, Hebei. Perhaps it is the fate of the underworld, two handsome men and beautiful women, and two people who love literature and art will rub out the spark of love in the future.
In the days that followed, the two saw each other often because of their work. At that time, Tian Hua had been working in the Anti-Enemy Drama Society for many years, and was already able to play some important roles in it.
And Su Fan, as a high-achieving student, is bound to bear important responsibilities in this group. As a result, the two unconsciously got along.
And what really warms up their feelings is thanks to a drama.
At that time, the drama company was rehearsing a drama called "Children and Soldiers and Ordinary People", and Tian Hua and Su Fan were assigned roles. Tian Hua plays a rural girl, while Su Fan, because she knows Japanese, is unfortunately assigned an unpleasant role, a small Japanese captain.
But it is precisely because of this drama that the feelings of the two people quickly heated up. Because they have a lot of opponent plays, so the two people discuss the role together almost every day, and only have some free time, Su Fan will always run to Tian Hua to discuss the script and discuss acting.
In this way, two people quickly ignite the spark of love in the day and night, the woman has a good look, the man has talent, no matter how you look at the two people are a small couple of heavenly care.
In the days that followed, Su Fan would always bring Tian Hua some surprises, such as a star photo today and an orange tomorrow.
Su Fan has been exposed to higher education, so he is always very enthusiastic about love, and he is very emotional, which makes Tian Hua in love feel unprecedented joy.
After all, there is nothing in the world more fascinating than the nourishment of love.
Love under layers of obstacles
But at that time, the two of them faced a huge obstacle, that is, the military was strictly forbidden to fall in love.
But once the spark of love is ignited, how can it be easily extinguished?
The two people in love can't care so much.
At this time, Su Fan was already an inseparable person for Tian Hua. Whenever Tian Hua had a need, Su Fan would always appear in time.
Once, Tian Hua was sick, had mumps, and the whole person was listless and groggy, and he couldn't eat anything and didn't want to eat it. At this time, Su Fan would take out a few oranges from his pocket like a trick, and would carefully peel them off to Tian Hua one by one and feed them to her mouth.
According to Tian Hua later recalled: "In fact, at that time, his oranges were sour, but somehow, when swallowed into the stomach, it made people feel extremely sweet. ”
This is probably the true portrayal of love.
But although it is well hidden, I often walk by the river, and there are shoes that are not wet.
In the spring of 1946, Su Fan was sent to Beiping by the organization to rent some films.
It was this opportunity that Su Fan thought he should bring back some small surprises to Tian Hua before returning to the army.
So, thinking about it, he thought of chocolate.
This thing was a very rare thing at the time, and Su Fan thought that Tian Hua must not have eaten it.
So, he secretly brought back a few pieces, but he did not expect that it was these pieces of chocolate that made them punished.
It turned out that when Su Fan was excited to bring the gift back to the army and hand it to his beloved, the two patronized happily and forgot to hide the chocolate wrapping paper.
Therefore, after the two immersed themselves in the wonderful taste of chocolate, the wrapping paper was found, so the East Window Incident occurred, and the underground love affair between the two was known by the organization.
To this end, a special conference was held in the organization, the theme of which was to severely criticize the wrong behavior of the two men.
After repeated criticism from the crowd at the meeting, it was not only decided to give disciplinary punishment to the two, but also to separate the two.
As a result, Su Fan was transferred out of the drama club and sent to the front line combat troops.
Longing under the fire of the cannon
In this way, two hearts that are deeply in love with each other are separated.
After that, Su Fan came to the front line and soon became a propaganda officer of the Propaganda Department of the Second Column of the North China Field Army.
It was a time when the war was strained, so Su Fan, who was in the front-line troops, was very busy.
Not only did he have to take on heavy work, but he also had to constantly move to various places with the large troops.
On the front line, as the troops moved, Su Fan would sometimes be not far from Tian Hua's drama club.
Therefore, often in the middle of the night, Su Fan would also come to see Tian Hua non-stop, and after a short time together, he would walk more than ten miles of night road to rush back to the army.
In the busy days, it did not stop the two from thinking.
On the contrary, with the distance between them, Tian Hua became more dependent on Su Fan, and even once to the point where he did not marry.
At this moment, Tian Hua accidentally became pregnant with Su Fan's child.
But Su Fan, who was in the battlefield, could not come back to see her casually.
As a result, Tian Hua could only go to Bethune Hospital alone during childbirth and give birth.
Originally, the child was a boy, and it was normal when it was born, but for some reason, the child was gone a few days after birth.
In this case, the mood of Tian Hua, who has just become a mother, can be imagined.
Fortunately, at this time, Su Fan finally had a ten-day vacation, so with the company of his beloved, he must have let Tian Hua out of this difficult day.
By 1948, Tian Hua had become a pillar of the drama club.
And Su Fan is not far behind, with his talent and hard work, he has become a war correspondent.
What is even more gratifying is that because of their excellent performance, their punishment has also been revoked.
The time came to April 1949, the Anti-Enemy Drama Society entered Beiping, and Su Fan's 65th Army wanted to form a cultural and labor troupe, and Su Fan was appointed as the leader of the regiment.
When selecting actors, Su Fan first thought of Tian Hua, but when he went to the drama club to adjust people, he did not expect to be rejected. Not only was he rejected, but even he couldn't leave.
Because in the end, Su Fan is still a member of the Anti-Enemy Drama Society, and the troops on the front line are just exercising. Now that I've almost finished exercising, it's time to go back to my original unit.
In this way, Su Fan returned to the drama club.
In fact, this just satisfies Su Fan's wishes, and may be a more important choice than the future of love.
And even greater joy is yet to come, on August 4, 1949, after 5 years of love and long-distance running,
Su Fan and Tian Hua finally entered the palace of marriage, and the two became married.
Excellent couple for two
In the days that followed, the husband and wife supported each other, both in life and career.
In 1950, Tian Hua was lucky enough to get a role.
That is the role of Xi'er in the movie "The White-Haired Girl".
But there were many actors competing for this role at that time, but Tian Hua was lucky, because the director valued the characteristics of the simple rural girl in her body and insisted on choosing her as the heroine of this movie.
And Tian Hua also lived up to expectations, through his simple and grounded performance, he portrayed the character of Xi'er vividly and vividly. As a result, Tian Hua became a household name and became a big star, and his work became busier and busier.
But what many people don't know is that Tian Hua can achieve these achievements without the help of one person, that is, her husband Su Fan.
Compared with Tian Hua, Su Fan is more accustomed to working behind the scenes and is willing to be the "little secretary" behind the scenes. In fact, Su Fan is a veritable talent, not only handsome in appearance, but also very good at acting, painting and writing. Moreover, he was a college student with high education and profound knowledge, so when Tian Hua needed it, Su Fan would always appear in time to help out with some planning.
For example, the character biography of the script that made Tian Huagong famous, "The White-Haired Girl", was sent to Tian Hua several times after Su Fan wrote it in Beijing.
And this habit has accompanied Tian Hua throughout his acting career until Tian Hua retired.
In addition to these, what many people don't know is that Su Fan was also responsible for the Decoration of the Tiananmen Square Dance at the Founding Ceremony. Speaking of which, this should have been the most glorious moment of his life.
October 1, 1949 was the day of the founding of New China, so Su Fan, who had received the task at that time, felt very stressed, but at the same time very excited, after all, this is a proud deed for anyone.
But because the work task is more special, therefore, Su Fan needs to keep a secret from Tian Hua during the entire working period, and even Tian Hua does not know where Su Fan went during this time? What are you busy with?
In the end, Su Fan and Japanese stage expert Suno Mori Shigeru successfully designed the Tiananmen Art Decoration and the work of the main venue of tiananmen square at the founding ceremony.
Since then, Su Fan has always been accustomed to working behind the scenes. After being transferred to Bayi Studio, he directed the films "Liberation of Shijiazhuang" and "Dr. Ke Dihua" and other well-known films.
In addition, he has also directed a lot of "documentaries" and has been in charge of literary work, which can be said to be a real literary and artistic all-rounder.
Therefore, Tian Hua has always felt in his heart that he has delayed Su Fan's development, but Su Fan does not think so, since Tian Hua has met such a good opportunity in "White Haired Girl", then as a husband, he should support him.
Su Fan once said: "If one of the two people must make a sacrifice, I hope it is me, and I hope to complete Tian Hua." ”
This is probably the most beautiful thing about love.
Sweet married life
After Tian Hua married Su Fan, the two gave birth to three sons in succession.
Although there are many children, Tian Hua has always had a regret, that is, he did not give birth to a daughter to Su Fan. Because Su Fan liked his daughter, he once had an urgent hope, but in the end he did not realize this wish.
Their eldest son, Yang Leilei, was born in 1951, and later became a soldier, and also became the director of a certain department of the General Staff Department, holding the rank of colonel and a cadre at the level of a division.
The second son, named Yang Xuepei, later became the director of the Film Research Institute.
The youngest son is named Yang Xuehong, a technical school graduate, and spends more time with the second elder.
Seeing this, everyone may have a question, why these children's surname is Yang, neither with the surname of Su Fan nor with the surname of Tian Hua.
This has to mention the habits of the time.
Generally after participating in the revolution, many people changed their names.
And Su Fan and Tian Hua are no exception, Su Fan was actually named Yang Zhenyuan, and Tian Hua's name was Liu Tianhua.
It is not difficult to explain that the children are all surnamed Yang.
But the second elder has a regret, that is, the children have not inherited their careers and have not embarked on the path of acting.
Fortunately, Yang Xiao, the son of the third son Yang Xuehong, fulfilled their wishes.
He has played roles in the TV series "Zhao Dan", "Mountain Bell Ringing Horse Gang" and "Flying Over the Old People's Home".
Today, Tian Hua is 94 years old, but Su Fan unfortunately passed away in 2016.
But whenever she recalls her past life, Tian Hua's face still shows a happy look, and she always feels that the biggest achievement in this life is not to achieve a series of honors in her acting career, but to be able to meet Su Fan, which is the biggest luck in her life.
