Author: Shanjia

"The wine is fragrant and the song is flying, friends, please make a cup, please make a cup, the victorious October will never be forgotten, the glass is sprinkled with happy tears...", this "Toast Song" sung by Li Guangxi actually appeared in my songbook. You know, at that time, I was still a little girl, and now that I want to come, it's really incredible.

A "toast song" made Li Guangxi famous all over the world. The song has been sung for 40 years, and on March 13, 2022, the news came that singer Li Guangxi died of a cerebral infarction at the age of 93. Looking back on Li Guangxi's life, the most unexpected thing is that he came from an ordinary family, and he fell in love with Wang Ziwei, the daughter of a billionaire, and this marriage that was not favored by the woman's parents actually blossomed into fragrant flowers, and the two held hands and walked through the diamond marriage. What kind of story is behind this?

01

Li Guangxi, born in Tianjin in 1929, has eight siblings. Father Li, working in the Kailuan Mining Bureau in Tianjin. As a big family, they lived on their father's salary. In 1947, Father Li died suddenly. The top beam and pillar have fallen, what about the life of this big family? In the end, Li Guangxi gave up his studies and replaced his father in the Mining Bureau. He was 17 years old. At that time, the Tianjin Kailuan Mining Bureau was a joint venture. According to british regulations, salaries are paid every two weeks. New Year's Day, Spring Festival and other holidays, will pay money, calculated all year round, employees can get 16 months of wages.

Li Guangxi works on the board of directors and is responsible for shareholder changes, stock trading and other related matters. He earns 160 yuan a month, which is also a high salary, more than enough to support the family. In his spare time, Li Guangxi often went to the church choir to sing. There, he learned music theory such as staves. Love, is the best teacher, four years later, Li Guangxi, an amateur singer, actually sang all over the major theaters in Tianjin.

On October 1, 1953, during the performance of the Youth Palace, Li Guangxi inadvertently saw a youthful face, he was a little dizzy, and whispered to his friends around him: "Did you see that girl?" I will have to marry her in the future. "That girl, Wang Ziwei, is still a 16-year-old middle school student." For her, Li Guangxi is already an adult in class, and she is not on the same channel as herself, and she has no special feelings for him. But Li Guangxi was moved, and he blew an offensive horn to the girl. The two are both members of the choir team, and naturally the moon is the first to get the moon near the water. Li Guangxi and Ziwei both love to sing, and from singing, many topics can be extended, such as poetry, such as musicians and so on. Young hearts, slowly approaching.

In 1954, Lee Kwang-hee was admitted to the Central Opera House. Since then, he has stepped from a joint venture to a business. And the salary also fell, from 160 yuan to 59 yuan. You know, at that time, the difference of 101 yuan was the sum of the salaries of 8 college students in a month. Behind him, there are still his mother and sister in Tianjin who need to be taken care of. This is enough to see that Li Guangxi also fought for the sake of singing career. In the same year, Ziwei was admitted to Beijing Medical College. That was her first wish, only because Li Guangxi was in Beijing.

As a newcomer to the Central Opera House, Li Guangxi opened his own evil supplement mode. From vocals to music theory, you need down-to-earth practice. China's first foreign opera "La Traviata" was staged, and Li Guangxi was photographed by Soviet experts and became the male number one. His soulful singing made him shine and he has since gained a foothold in the opera house.

In 1957, Li Guangxi responded to the call to "combine art with workers, peasants, and soldiers", so he signed up to go to the countryside, and the higher department really approved it. At this moment, Li Guangxi will be separated from his beloved girl. How can this be good? Li Guangxi found Ziwei, who was still in her junior year, and said, "Let's get married", the girl did not say a word and nodded. You must know that at that time, Li Guangxi was already a farmer with a rural hukou.

Before registering, Ziwei greeted her parents in Tianjin. When the old mother heard that the big thing was not good, she hurriedly took the train to Beijing and taught her daughter bitterly: "Li Guangxi only earns so much money a month, and he still has to send money to his hometown in Tianjin. Besides, acting is all drama, can you pass the character? There are so many people in his family, there are four sisters-in-law alone, you are quiet and accustomed, can you bear it? ”

The Queen Mother muttered a lot, Ziwei did not say a word, let your wind blow and waves, I walked by myself, I just looked at Li Guangxi. In fact, I really don't blame the Queen Mother for being snobbish, these two young people are really not right. The Wang family has a wharf in Tianjin, a factory, a warehouse, and two bungalows with gardens, plus cars, and calculates property in units of hundreds of millions, only a lot more. Ziwei has two older brothers, and only Ziwei has a small cotton jacket in the family. The parents of the Wang family have high expectations for qianjin, and the daughter who is studying medicine will marry a family with the right door in the future, which is not much better than marrying a drama!

The Queen Mother saw that Ziwei did not let up, and was so angry that she returned to Tianjin and broke off relations with her daughter from then on. Isn't Ziwei still reading? Sorry, no financial resources are available. Ziwei wrote a letter to her home, but the recipient refused to accept it and returned the same way. His brother, who was far away in the army, also wrote to his sister to "advise her not to get married." But Ziwei still married Li Guangxi, in January 1957.

The new room is a temporary room built by the opera house's stage friends, the owner takes out a bed, the west family provides a pair of pillows, and there is a small bench on the ground that does not know who is out. In short, Ziwei and Li Guangxi opened the "naked marriage era" at that time. Eight days later, Li Guangxi went to the countryside to become a farmer.

It is said that Ziwei has no financial resources and still has to study, so she has to rely on Li Guangxi's salary. Pay the salary on the 3rd, Ziwei will take it on her behalf, and remember to send the postal money to the Li family in Tianjin. Once, on Tuesday, she took her salary, and on Sunday Ziwei mailed to Tianjin, so angry that Li Guangxi wrote a letter to rebuke her. At this time, Miss Ziwei knew that her hometown in Tianjin was waiting for this money to make ends meet. And that world, she didn't know anything.

Originally, Ziwei went to college, not only funded by her parents, but also her brother in the army also gave her postal money. This generous life is a joy to live. But Ziwei married Li Guangxi, but lived a poor and poor life, a world of difference. Maybe Ziwei is born a blunt girl, she doesn't care about material things, she has feelings to drink water, she cares more about spirit. When she was tight, she sold the necklace that her mother had given her, no big deal.

After graduating from university, Ziwei stayed at the school as a teacher. In order to save five yuan in commuting fees, she rides her bicycle back and forth every day. The steamed buns sold outside are more expensive than the steamed steamed steamed From the big lady who did not stick to the spring water of the sun before marriage, to today's Ziwei, has become a pragmatic wife and daughter-in-law, a penny broken into two halves, can save the province, this span, is really big enough.

Although the Wang family's parents and daughter broke off contact, when Ziwei gave birth to her eldest daughter in 1961, her mother resolutely came to take care of her. Although the daughter is disobedient, but the overall situation has been decided, what can be done? Can only ignore the previous suspicions. Isn't there a saying on the Internet that in addition to mom and dad, everything else is a floating cloud. Here, Li Guangxi is busy with performances and cannot be idle every day. Over there, the Queen Mother took good care of her daughter and granddaughter, and went all out to take care of it. If it were not for the old mother-in-law's efforts to turn the tide, it is estimated that Ziwei's mother and daughter would not even be able to eat.

One day, my mother-in-law asked Li Guangxi, "What do you sing?" "Opera La Traviata", "Then buy a ticket!" Next, the mother-in-law watched Li Guangxi's "Cargo Lang and Miss", a performance at the Tianqiao Theater, and she also attended. One day, during dinner, my mother-in-law said to Li Guangxi, "Just sing, don't change your career!" Privately, the old lady opened the door to her daughter Ziwei: "This boy can't do anything but sing, and he has no heart and eyes!" ”

Ziwei's father is a timber merchant, and her mother runs with her father to run the rivers and lakes, knowing countless people, and a sentence of "no heart and eyes" also represents her recognition of her aunt Li Guangxi. Then again, after Li Guangxi's three daughters were born, they were all taken care of by the old lady. This mother-in-law is interesting enough!

Life is a cycle, and what you do to others is what you do to yourself. The mother-in-law's mother-in-law's heart and lungs on the daughter and son-in-law's family are real. By the time of the Cultural Revolution in 1966, all the Wang family's deposits were frozen. Ziwei began to send money to her parents, but Li Guangxi did not say a word. In Li Guangxi's mouth, he had never been angry because his father-in-law and mother-in-law did not agree to his marriage to Ziwei. A son-in-law half a child, Li Guangxi did his best to filial piety to the old man. A month's income, just a little, the postal money is saved from the mouth, from the body. Ziwei, in her heart, felt that she did not look at the wrong person, and her husband jun was a kind person.

In 1979, a "toast song", Li Guangxi's fire was particularly hot. The factory invited him to the show, well, no problem. "Toast" is sung, and there is another one. Without stopping, I went to the next one. I don't know how many times "Toast Song" was sung, until one day, Li Guangxi could not make any sound. After examination by the doctor, he suffered from "laryngeal muscle weakness". The vocal cords are also muscles, and they have been unable to exert force for a long time.

For Li Guangxi, who sings is his life, his life has almost been taken. Every day, Li Guangxi would wake up from his dream, sweating profusely, and he would ask himself, "If I can't sing, what else can I do?" At this time, Ziwei's enlightenment became Li Guangxi's most intimate comfort. Li Guangxi was unwilling, and Ziwei accompanied her husband to inject, take medicine, and do rehabilitation.

One day after waking up at noon, Li Guangxi began to practice his voice, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa At the moment when his voice recovered, Li Guangxi burst into tears, and he was deeply grateful to his wife. From 1979 to 1985, for six years, it was Ziwei who accompanied him through the spring, summer, autumn and winter, encouraging him to "stand on the stage and sing one day sooner or later." Nowadays, it feels so good to think about it. Sing "Toast" again, another thirty years.

A reporter, who once interviewed Li Guangxi in his later years, asked him: "In the face of flowers and applause, what do you feel is the most proud in your life?" Li Guangxi replied without hesitation: "One is to find my favorite profession, and the other is to find the person I love the most as a wife." “

From 1957 to 2022, Li Guangxi and Ziwei held hands for 65 years, and this marriage that was not optimistic actually produced fragrant flowers. After all, in marriage, there is not only love, but also the righteousness of liver and gallbladder, the tacit understanding of not abandoning, and the unforgettable kindness...
