Qiao Yu sat in his office and pondered for a few days, without writing a word. On April 16 of that year, Tong Qi asked Qiao Yu to accompany her to Beihai Park to play.
The little couple was riding a boat in the park, and suddenly a group of Young Pioneers paddled and paddled leisurely past them. The boat pushed the waves, and the smiling faces of the children were reflected in the water, like a painting.

On June 17, 1954, Qiao Yu and Tong Qi married in Beijing. Because of the limited economic conditions, the couple did not hold a wedding, but only sent a few pieces of candy to relatives and colleagues. After marriage, they lived in the cramped room of the unit, and life was very inconvenient.

Manuscript of Qiao Yu's "My Motherland"
As early as 1956, in order to praise the heroes of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the Changchun Film Studio filmed the film "Shangganling" and asked Qiao Yu to compose the lyrics.
After Qiao Yu wrote out the lyrics of "My Motherland", he suggested that Guo Lanying sing it. After Guo Lanying finished recording the song, it was first broadcast nationwide by the Central People's Radio. Therefore, "Shangganling" has not yet been released, and "My Motherland" has become popular.

Mr. and Mrs. Qiao Yu with two children
Qiao Yu was able to launch a first masterpiece, which is inseparable from Tong Qi's efforts behind it. Although she came from a famous family and grew up with a beard waiter, after becoming a mother, Tong Qi matured rapidly, and the 3 children were basically raised by her care, and Qiao Yu rarely intervened in housework.
However, due to the relatively large difference in origins between Qiao Yu and Tong Qi, the two often have small frictions in their lives.
Tong Qi pays great attention to identity, never going to eat in small street shops, never going to small shops in hutongs to buy things. Even if she buys a toothpaste, she has to wear a cheongsam and high heels to buy it in a department store.
Someone asked Qiao Yu; "Your wife is not grounded, how can you accept it?" Qiao Yu replied, "She grew up in that kind of environment, and there is no harm to me, what am I not used to?" ”
Sometimes Qiao Yu eats noodles in a small shop on the street, and when he returns home, Tong Qi will tangle with Qiao Yu. Tong Qi also loves to be clean and keeps letting Qiao Yu wash his hands at home. Qiao Yu should wash his hands once before entering the study, and once he left the study. Go into the kitchen to wash your hands, come out and wash again...

Sometimes within an hour, Tong Qi would let Qiao Yu wash his hands five or six times, and the couple could not avoid stumbling. But every time the couple had an awkward fight, whether Qiao Yu was right or wrong, it was he who confessed his mistake to Tong Qi and coaxed her with sweet words until Tong Qi had a smile on his face.

In 1966, the special era began, and Qiao Yu suffered unfair treatment and was sent to Zhangjiakou in Hebei Province to work. Tong Qi, with her three children in Beijing, is particularly worried about her husband.
At that time, some people could not think of it, which led to various tragedies. Tong Qi was afraid of what accident would happen to her husband, so he wrote a letter to Qiao Yu. Born in 1956, the eldest son, Qiao Whale, was just 10 years old, and Tong Qi not only wrote letters to her husband himself, but also asked his two sons to write to his father.
The concern of his wife and son made Qiao Yu become particularly strong.
In 1974, after graduating from high school, Qiao Whale went to the countryside to join the team, and then Qiao Fang and Qiao Guozi also went to the countryside to join the team. In 1977, Qiao Yu returned to Beijing, and the three sons and daughters who joined the team also returned to the city, and the family of 5 was finally reunited.

In the 1980s, Qiao Fang and Qiao Guozi also married and started a family, and the marriage between the brothers and sisters was very stable. In 1989, Joe Whale took his son to Japan to study.
In 1999, Qiao Han was admitted to a famous university in Japan, and Qiao Whale returned to China to develop. While writing lyrics and running his own cultural company, life finally settled down.
