In 1945, when Zhao Dan appeared "alive" in front of Ye Lucy's eyes, she couldn't believe her eyes, which was too unexpected, too surprised, too absurd.
At the moment when the eyes met, her heart suddenly swelled, squeezing her through, and it seemed that the sound of cicadas all summer was heard in her ears at the same time, buzzing.
In the face of this man who had planned to martyr for him, everything in the past seemed to come back in an instant, not one by one, but pouring out of his brain.
However, she has already married someone else and re-established a happy family, and who can say that this is not fate playing tricks on her.
Zhao Dan and Ye Lucy
Standing at the crossroads of life again, Ye Lucy is caught in a dilemma, she has already destroyed a family, is it necessary to destroy the second?
The broken mirror is difficult to round after all...
Looking back at the first meeting between the two, it was as long as a century had passed.
Ten years ago, Zhao Dan, a young actor who was extremely popular in the film industry, came to the Amateur Theater Troupe of Shanghai Commercial School to direct the rehearsal, which was her first meeting with him.
The first close contact with the idol in her heart, Ye Lucy was deeply attracted by Zhao Dan's talent and temperament, and his handsome face and personable demeanor were all stirring the heartstrings of the girl.
Some people say that the happiest moment of love is not to grow old with a white head, but the moment I fell in love with you, you also happened to fall in love with me.
Zhao Dan
The acquaintance with Ye Lucy, for Zhao Dan, was a doomed disaster, and as for whether he was reborn or never recovered after the disaster, he could not do anything.
Her beauty, temperament, intelligence, knowledge, hands, smile, like a piece of candy that can never taste, made him unable to extricate himself.
Love at first sight? No, it was the lingering pity of several lifetimes, two lone fires that had waited for centuries, and whenever they encountered them, they were raging flames.
Soon, Zhao Dan and Ye Lucy fell in love, and Zhao Dan was happy like a child who had picked up a baby.
"I became the Prince of Happiness because I had one of the most beautiful and beautiful women in the world."

In April 1936, at the famous group wedding under the Liuhe Pagoda in Hangzhou, Ye Luxi and Zhao Danmo were not the most talented and admirable couple.
At that moment, the 21-year-old Zhao Dan did have the most beautiful woman in the world, but the long-term "possession" he thought was only 3 years.
After marriage, the two were very affectionate, and soon there was a crystallization of love, and Zhao Dan's acting career sang all the way, and she was willing to be the woman behind him.
Without that war, they would be the happiest family in the world in the future, with their talents and beautiful sons and daughters.
However, in the midst of chaos and the country's imminent danger, how can it be left alone and turn a deaf ear?

In 1937, when the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out in full swing, Zhao Dan and Ye Luxi resolutely joined the "Shanghai Film and Drama Circle Anti-Enemy Rescue Drama Team" and defected to the rear area to carry out anti-Japanese salvation propaganda, and handed over their infant daughters who were less than one year old to Ye Mu to raise.
Two years later, the "Rescue Drama Team" was deceived by the warlord Sheng Shicai in Xinjiang under the banner of "revolution" and prepared to go to Xinjiang to carry out a new cause.
Considering his two young children, Zhao Dan had to say goodbye to his wife and travel alone to Xinjiang with several companions.
The idea of democracy and freedom propagated by Zhao Dan and others undoubtedly shook the interests of this great warlord, so he actually arrested Zhao Dan and others and imprisoned them on trumped-up charges.
Warlord Sheng Shicai
Hearing that her husband was in prison, Ye Lucy, who was pregnant with Liujia, disregarded the dangers of the road and traveled all the way from Chongqing to Xinjiang to rescue her husband.
But in the chaotic world, a woman with weak strength is difficult to protect herself, what can she change? After Premier Zhou received the news, he was very concerned and specially entrusted Ye Lucy to return Ye Lucy safely to Chongqing.
Soon after, the news of Zhao Dan's murder in Xinjiang came, Ye Luxi was in pain, and once said that she would grow old with a white head and never be separated, she had not yet grown old, how could he die?
At that moment, she felt as if something in her body was withdrawing, and at the end, there was only a void of qi left, like an illusory bridge, into the endless darkness, into the void of the void.
In 1937, Ye Lucy held her nine-month-old daughter Zhao Qing
Her world collapsed, her husband, the father of her two children, the man she was ready to love for the rest of her life, and just like that, there was not even a corpse... Disappeared into her world.
She really wanted to go with him like this, and every moment between her breaths was an unbearable torment for her.
Friends were afraid that something would happen to her, and took turns dissuading her. Yes, she also has two young children, the children are innocent, they have lost their father, is it necessary to let them lose their mother?
For the survival of the two children, under the care and approval of Premier Zhou, in 1943, Ye Lucy married the playwright Du Xuan and began a new life.
It was not until after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression that Zhao Dan, who had been secretly imprisoned in prison for 5 years, escaped from Hukou and returned to Chongqing, but what awaited him was that people went to the building and his wife and daughter were scattered.
Ye Lucy, Zhao Dan and their daughter
At this moment, for the golden boy and jade girl of the show business, it was simply too dramatic, saying that life was like a drama, but the life in this play was called such a liver and intestine in the current world.
Who is to blame? No one is wrong. After years of chaos and family destruction, why not just this family? The only place to blame is the Japanese invaders who started the war, and to blame the turbulent times.
When Zhao Dan saw his "wife" again, Ye Lucy was already pregnant with Du Xuan's flesh and bones, and Zhao Dan looked at this woman who thought about it day and night.
At that moment, he understood everything, forgave everything, as long as everything could go back to the past.
They pressed their foreheads against each other's faces, holding each other's faces, their hands wet, whether he was crying or she was crying, neither of them understood.
Ye Lucy and Zhao Dan
However, time cannot go back, and everything has long been settled. It is said that the broken mirror can be re-rounded, but the deep rift in reality is like a ravine in front of the two people.
Du Xuan was very good to her, their lives were comfortable and peaceful, they had already hurt a man who loved him, how could she bear to hurt another one?
The present is always more important than the future, isn't it?
Looking at the lonely and helpless eyes of the "wife", Zhao Dan also understood her choice, no hoarseness, no hysteria, no words of complaint, he actually carried everything alone.
"A rumor caused my wife to be separated." - That's their end.
Ye Lucy's second husband, Du Xuan
For a time, the dramatic story of Zhao Ye and Zhao Ye occupied the lace headlines of major newspapers and periodicals in Shanghai, and Ye Lucy once again became the focus of attention of the Chinese people, but this time it was not on the stage.
Speaking of which, it is somewhat ironic that Ye Lucy's miserable life has become a pastime of this suffering nation after tea and dinner.
Since then, Zhao Dan has lived alone with his two children, and has given him the screen and stage for which he has struggled all his life.
Years later, Zhao Dan, who came out of the haze, married actor Huang Zongying and finally started another life again.
Lucy Ye followed her husband Du Xuan to Hong Kong, and joined an underground revolutionary organization in Hong Kong under the introduction of Pan Hannian and Du Xuan.
Zhao Dan's second wife, Huang Zongying
Under premier Zhou's arrangement, she shuttled between Hong Kong and Shanghai and became an important intelligence traffic officer!
Although Zhao Dan, who had fought side by side with her, was no longer around, Ye Lucy still had to unswervingly follow the road of revolution.
It is true that Ye Lucy and Zhao Dan are always happy in each other's lives, but the blood under this coincidence is thicker than water, but it can never be broken, the children of the two families are their own flesh and bones, how can she not remember it?
Years later, Zhao Qing, the eldest daughter of a well-known artist, said of her birth mother, Ye Lucy:
"In the days when I and my birth mother rarely got along, my mother did her best to dedicate the greatest amount of maternal love to me."
Ye Lucy and Zhao Dan's daughter Zhao Qing
In 1962, Zhao Qing was overworked in dance practice, injured his right knee, and returned to Shanghai for treatment, and the "three-year difficult period" had just ended, and the grain of each family was not rich.
At that time, Zhao Dan and Huang Zongying already had three children, and Du Xuan and Ye Lucy also had seven children, but Ye Lucy still took Zhao Qing to her home and took good care of her personally.
One day, his father Zhao Dan said to Zhao Qing: "You are very happy, come to Shanghai to recuperate, there are two families, both families hurt you..."
"What! Daddy, neither of these homes is mine, I've never had my own home... Where is my home? I want a complete home of my own..."
Zhao Qing was practicing
For Zhao Qing, she and her brother are the biggest victims of this "farce", but looking at her father's sad look, she can't help but use a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes for her father.
"In this life, as long as I mention my birth mother and mother, my heart is like a imprisoned hand pressing a chord on the key, hammering on my heart one by one, so painful!" It hurts! ”
Perhaps in order to make up for the debt to Zhao Qing's sisters and brothers, Ye Lucy always paid extra attention to these two children, and during Zhao Qing's medical treatment in Shanghai, she often personally cooked nutritional products into delicious meals for her daughter to enjoy.
The 7 half-siblings of the Du family are also very well-behaved and sensible, never disturbing Zhao Qing's rest, Zhao Qing often sighed, his mother and Uncle Du educated their siblings so well.
In Hong Kong in 1947, Du Xuan and Ye Lucy and a pair of children
Yes, on the issue of educating women, Ye Lucy really put a lot of thought into it.
Long-term intelligence work has made the family rules set by Ye Lucy more like an order, and all children must abide by them unconditionally: what should not be said is not said, what should not be asked is not asked, and what is known cannot be said!
Children know from an early age that the work of their parents is a great cause, and they regard their tenacious and upright mothers as their role models.
Ye Lucy has gone through two marriages, has nine children, plus two stepdaughters of Du Xuan and his ex-wife, and three children of the family, under the cultivation of Ye Lucy, each has a successful career, modest and independent.
Zhao Qing was a famous dancer in the Chinese Opera and Dance Theater, his younger brother Zhao Mao became a film director, and several children of the Du family also became experts in their respective fields in the literary and art circles.

No. 8, Lane 115, Tai'an Road, Shanghai, where Ye Luxi settled, has become an inseparable coordinate in every child's heart, which is the dock for setting sail and the harbor for shelter from the wind.
Some people say that Ye Lucy has delayed her happy life because of a "rumor", but "rumor" has also created a legend in her life.
A person who can accept the fate of "making a mistake will be wrong" and regain his life in his own hands is not a kind of enlightenment.
On January 25, 1992, Ye Lucy completed her 75-year legendary life in peace.
Since then, this legendary woman has forever been fixed in No. 8, Lane 115, Tai'an Road, and forever frozen in the heart of every child.
