Behind every successful man, there is a woman who pays silently.
But if there are two women behind this man, how to choose?
He Qingkui, a "ghost screenwriter", encountered such a problem in his early years.
The original wife did not think he was poor and bore him three children.
Cooperate with Gao Xiumin to make love, and become famous with the help of the other party.
His choice is to leave the wife of the chaff and accompany the confidant of the red face and be the model stepfather of the stepdaughter.
Hovered between Zhang Yanru and Gao Xiumin for 26 years.
Later, Gao Xiumin and the original partner died of illness one after another, and He Qingkui, who was 74 years old, began to have troubles.
Without a lover, the children are not close to him, will he regret the choice he made now?
1, fishermen's families give birth to pen poles
In 1948, He Qingkui was born into a fisherman's family on the Songhua River.
The family has lived on fishing for generations, and at a young age, he also followed the example behind the adults.
After a long time, the skill of fishing and killing fish, He Qingkui quickly mastered.
His father was an old man, so he was particularly fond of this son.
He Qingkui was thin and weak when he was a child, and although his hands and feet were sharp, his father was not happy for him to do this.
With foresight, he begged for help, and finally sent the child to the village troupe and let him perform everywhere with the troupe.
This move changed He Qingkui's life.
During the troupe's performance, He Qingkui became obsessed with creation and developed a great interest in writing scripts.
He always worked while thinking about how to write a good script, and once, he finally wrote a two-person transfer book.
He plucked up the courage to find the leader: "Commander, I have written a new script, can you see if it can be used?" ”
Unexpectedly, the director was full of praise after watching it, and immediately arranged a performance to let him partner with a young actress.
This girl is None other than Gao Xiumin. That year, He Qingkui was 26 years old and Gao Xiumin was 15 years old.
The duo was successful and were soon put on a tour.
Under the suggestion of others, He Qingkui also submitted articles to Jilin Newspaper, and he did not expect to really get 5 yuan in manuscript fees.
A small test of the cattle knife has gained something, which makes him more determined to take the road of literary and artistic creation.
During this period, he and Gao Xiumin lost contact due to the age gap and different development plans.
In his early twenties, his original wife Zhang Yanru appeared.
Zhang Yanru was originally a city hukou, and when she went to the mountains and went to the countryside, in response to the call of the state, she came to the countryside to join the team.
The village where she was stationed was He Qingkui's hometown.
Zhang Yanru has a beautiful appearance, has received cultural education, and is well known as Dali.
Coming to the village, many single young people are eager to move, looking forward to being able to catch up with the female dolls in the city.
But Zhang Yanru could not see anyone, but he Qingkui, who was not good at words and looked ordinary, was partial to the picture.
There is a reason why I love him.
He Qingkui loves to read, and he always has the qi of books. Although he is not handsome, he is good at writing.
Zhang Yanru believes that the boy in front of him has the ability and will definitely be able to get ahead in the future.
In the face of the goddess's favor, He Qingkui was initially flattered, but later gradually became familiar with it and slowly came together.
During the period, Zhang Yanru had a chance to return to the city, but for the sake of her lover, she chose to stay.
Soon, the two were married under the arrangement of their parents and had their own small family.
After marriage, Zhang Yanru always supported He Qingkui and tried to create enough writing space for him.
She worked alone on the farm, with three children, and lived a hard but satisfying life.
2, met Gao Xiumin and finally became famous
In 1986, He Qingkui's family ushered in a turnaround because of Zhang Yanru's opportunity to return to the city.
A family of five came from the countryside to settle down in Buyeo County, and the opportunity came.
At first, the couple did not have any skills, went around, and could only find a vegetable stall in the vegetable market to make a living.
Despite being in the city, He Qingkui's creative dream in his heart has not been erased.
During the operation of the vegetable stall, Zhang Yanru still undertook most of the labor, and He Qingkui was more often thinking about the script.
He was 38 years old at the time, and in the eyes of outsiders, he had achieved nothing, but in the eyes of his wife, he was still a treasure.
The real experience of the city, the cold and warm human feelings that have been in contact with for many years, why Qingkui's creative inspiration laid a solid foundation,
One day in 1989, Gao Xiumin, who was already married and head of the Buyeo County Folk Art Troupe, met He Qingkui at the vegetable market.
She never expected that Big Brother He, who was quite talented in performing on the same stage, was actually reduced to buying vegetables in the vegetable market.
It was freezing cold, so he stomped his feet to do business while shivering, which made her feel that yu was not cold.
Gao Xiumin went forward to greet He Qingkui and told him: "I am working in the art troupe now, if you still write, you can vote for our troupe." ”
"If you write well, I'll give you a performance, and then I'll give you 200 yuan."
Her words, like a needle in the heart, instantly stimulated He Qingkui's creative enthusiasm.
After returning home, he quickly threw himself into a new creation, writing "Who Marries Whom" in just a few days.
After the book was written, He Qingkui was enthusiastic to submit an article to the county art troupe, who knew that he was rejected on the spot.
Devastated, he could only find Gao Xiumin again.
This script that was killed was excellent in Gao Xiumin's view.
She found the group, ignored the objections of others, insisted on using He Qingkui, and personally rehearsed.
Under the interpretation of Gao Xiumin, "Who Marries Whom" is completely on fire.
Later, the two collaborated on a number of scripts, each of which was very popular.
Soon, He Qingkui became a famous pen holder in ten miles and eight townships, and the opportunities for cooperation gradually increased.
Soon, the Jilin Spring Festival Gala invited Gao Xiumin to perform, and she took the opportunity to recommend He Qingkui.
After the two sides were officially finalized, the two stayed together almost every day, discussing how to present the perfect stage.
During that time, he no longer had to go to the market to buy vegetables, and spent time with Gao Xiumin every day, rarely meeting his wife.
Zhang Yanru saw that her husband was getting closer and closer to her dream, and she was also very supportive, and she took the job of the vegetable market alone.
At that time, she did not expect that her husband and Gao Xiumin, who had always trusted, would fall in love for a long time because of long-term cooperation.
3, red face confidant ran away from home
The reunion of He Qingkui and Gao Xiumin is not exaggerated at all to describe it as "meeting and hating late".
As they gathered to create, rehearse, and receive flowers and applause together, they felt more and more inseparable from each other.
Unfortunately, the reunion at this time is to meet the right person at the wrong time.
Both of them have their own families, and in such a situation, they can only suppress love in their hearts and put it in their works.
In 1992, He Qingkui and Gao Xiumin both ushered in the peak of their careers.
That year, the "baggage" of their cooperation was popular all over the country under Gao Xiumin's performance.
All kinds of awards and honors came like a tide, so that He Qingkui finally tasted success.
At this time, he realized that he really couldn't do without Gao Xiumin, as long as he was around her, there was a lot of inspiration.
And Gao Xiumin, also deeply attached to He Qingkui's talent, the two finally broke the taboo, regardless of whether they were together.
After confirming their intentions, they decided to show their respective lovers a showdown.
Gao Xiumin was outspoken and quick, quickly explained the reason to her husband, quickly cut the mess and divorced, and walked out of the house with her young daughter.
He Qingkui's side is more difficult, because his wife Zhang Yanru cannot divorce under any circumstances.
When she heard the word "divorce" from her husband's mouth, she couldn't believe it and was indignant.
She gritted her teeth and put down her harsh words: "I will not divorce no matter what, I will save a home for my children!" ”
Looking at his resolute wife and facing the pleas of his three children, He Qingkui was helpless.
However, On the other side, Gao Xiumin has long been divorced because of him, and he cannot live up to it.
In 1993, He Qingkui, who had been thinking for a long time, finally made a decision under the balance.
At that time, he was already working in the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and the unit also gave him a room, but for the sake of Gao Xiumin, he was willing to sacrifice everything.
He quit his job and recklessly packed his bags and went to Changchun to stay with his loved ones.
Zhang Yanru and her three children, who were abandoned, have also undergone earth-shaking changes in their lives.
He Qingkui's unit divided the house, after he quit his job, was quickly asked by the unit to go back,
The four mothers and sons can only rent a new house.
Without her husband's salary, life was very embarrassing, and Zhang Yanru supported the family alone, which was very hard.
Because of the departure of their father, the children's mother washed her face with tears all day and had no intention of studying.
One by one, they dropped out of school and began to find jobs for their mothers so that their mothers would not have such a hard time.
Looking at the sensible children, Zhang Yanru was both sad and guilty, and at that time, she swore that she would never forgive He Qingkui.
The next year, He Qingkui led Gao Xiumin to the house with a large bag of things.
Gao Xiumin knew that she was ashamed of Zhang Yanru, and when she came to the house, she whispered a low breath, apologized to her in succession, and also sent a large bag of gifts.
He Qingkui also laid down a package ticket and will never ignore her and the children in the future.
Before leaving, Gao Xiumin also stuffed Tens of thousands of yuan for Zhang Yanru and instructed: "Big sister, what will happen in the future?" ”
At this point, Zhang Yanru could only accept it, although she did not agree on her lips, she had already acquiesced to the relationship between the three in her heart.
Since then, He Qingkui has stayed by Gao Xiumin's side with peace of mind and given her a warm family.
And Zhang Yanru still obsessively guarded her husband, telling him: "No matter what time, as long as you are tired, you can go home!" ”
4, to be a model father for the stepdaughter
After He Qingkui and Gao Xiumin came together, they began to cooperate with Zhao Benshan Fan Wei and others, and their fame became louder and louder.
He is known as a "ghost screenwriter" by the outside world, and his works are frequently featured on CCTV, and even Zhao Benshan admires him very much.
In life, he and Gao Xiumin get along very harmoniously, and treat her daughter Li Xuan as if they were her own children.
At that time, Li Xuan was only 10 years old, and in the face of this sudden uncle, she actually had some resistance in her heart.
She would look at her mother and the stranger, her eyes full of anxiety and uneasiness.
He Qingkui saw the child's emotions and told her: "I give you a promise, in the future I will do better than your biological father!" ”
He Qingkui did what he said, and in the days that followed, he regarded Li Xuan as if he were his own, and completely treated her as a daughter-in-law.
He pays attention to his children's learning, and when he has free time, he and Gao Xiumin take their daughter out to play, looking like an ordinary family of three.
However, at that time, Li Xuan had already understood things, and he could not change his mouth, and kept calling him: "Uncle! ”
But He Qingkui did not mind, and still dug his heart and lungs out for this daughter.
With fame and money, he is also very generous with Li Xuan.
When he was 13 years old, He Qingkui wanted to go to Shenzhen with Gao Xiumin to perform, and Li Xuan was on summer vacation.
He Qingkui felt that he should take the child out for a long time, so he proposed to take her with him.
Unexpectedly, Gao Xiumin was not happy: "Don't take her, the ticket is expensive, six or seven thousand round-trip!" ”
He Qingkui was not distressed at all: "Let the child go, and later she looked back and said that she flew to the south at the age of 13, which is a very meaningful thing." ”
,
KFC just became popular, Li Xuan saw it on TV, and she was also very envious in her heart, always thinking about when she could eat it.
She and Gao Xiumin said, "Mom, I want to eat KFC!" ”
Her mother was annoyed with her: "What is the noise, Changchun can't eat!" ”
He Qingkui heard this and waved at his daughter: "Old girl, let's go!" ”
At the end of the conversation, he immediately bought a plane ticket, flew from Changchun to Beijing, and took Li Xuan to eat a KFC.
The long-term dedication and care have brought the non-biological father and daughter closer together.
Slowly, Li Xuan finally changed his mouth to call He Qingkui his father, and this call once made him cry like rain.
5, the original confidant has left, the rest of his life is lonely
The original match and confidant, the love and generosity of the two women, let He Qingkui have an enviable life.
But waiting for a long time will eventually make people discouraged.
In 1995, Zhang Yanru, who had been alone in an empty house for many years, could not survive, and she took the initiative to file for divorce.
Who knew that at this time, He Qingkui was unwilling.
He said to his wife, "I'm sorry for you, I'm not with you anymore, but I still have to give you a name, and I won't get divorced in this life!" ”
These words made Zhang Yanru very moved, even if her husband accompanied another woman, all the grievances in her heart were also released.
In this way, He Qingkui wandered between the two women, balancing their relationship with each other with talent and affection.
This kind of relationship, which is difficult for outsiders to understand, has been maintained for more than ten years.
It was not until Gao Xiumin's departure in 2005 that He Qingkui's "blessing of the Qi people" came to an end.
That year, Gao Xiumin and Zhao Benshan had already broken up the gang due to disagreement, and were taking He Qingkui alone.
Just when the "couple" was preparing to show their fists, misfortune came.
On August 8, 2005, He Qingkui's eldest son died unexpectedly in a car accident.
The bad news did not end, just ten days after her son left, Gao Xiumin also had an accident.
In the early morning of August 18, 2005, Gao Xiumin died of a heart attack in his sleep.
Everything was so sudden, within a period of time, he Qingkui lost his lover and relatives continuously, and at Gao Xiumin's funeral, He Qingkui cried bitterly.
After that, he told the media that he would leave everything to Li Xuan and not take anything with him.
Speaking of doing it, more than a dozen properties and deposits under the names of the two people were left to the continuing daughter, and he returned to his hometown alone.
Experiencing this change, He Qingkui felt even more ashamed of his ex-wife, and he wanted to use the rest of his life to make up for it.
After returning to his family, he set up a film and television company to let his second son take care of the business.
During this period, he was also involved in the "Ten Thousand Miles Afforestation" plan, suspected of embezzling stolen funds, and his reputation was temporarily discredited.
Later, the case ended with a statement from the police: "We will definitely recover the stolen money."
Presumably, He Qingkui should have solved this matter in private.
After retiring from success, he supported his son to run the company, after which he rarely appeared and enjoyed the happiness of the world.
Unfortunately, Heaven didn't seem to give him this chance.
After returning to the family, he and Zhang Yanru lived a 10-year life of respecting each other, and finally his wife died of a heart attack.
In the year of her illness, He Qingkui always stayed by her side to take care of it.
The morning he went to the hospital, he joked to his wife: "You can't die, you have to die in my arms."
Unexpectedly, zhang Yanru really died in his arms when he did not go to the hospital.
Before she died, she laughed a few times, probably feeling that there were no regrets in life.
After the death of his wife, He Qingkui rarely appeared again, and the former scenery was long gone.
There are rumors that he and his son run the company unfavorably, and their lives are very sloppy.
The departure of the red face Gao Xiumin and the original match also made him feel lonely and lonely.
Li Xuan, the stepdaughter who had said that he would take care of him in his later years, gradually became estranged from him.
Li Xuan once said a sentence after the death of her mother: "The biggest regret of my mother in this life is that I did not receive a marriage license."
Her words were meaningful, and also made He Qingkui labeled as a "scumbag with a straight face".
To this day, the past has long been like the past, and the world's evaluation of him is not important.
Looking back, He Qingkui is 74 years old, I don't know if he will still make the same choice when time goes back?
