Most of Zhao Benshan's pinnacle works are from the screenwriter He Qingkui, so some people think that He Qingkui is the real King of Chinese sketches. But the public is more willing to relish the "extramarital affair" of He Qingkui and Gao Xiumin, who have lived together for many years but are not a husband and wife in the legal sense. Gao Xiumin once openly said that she and He Qingkui first had feelings, and then left their respective families and were third parties to each other. He Qingkui and his wife Zhang Yanru did not divorce, but lived with Gao Xiumin. In 2004, also because of Gao Xiumin, He Qingkui and Zhao Benshan parted ways, ending the era of Zhao Benshan, Gao Xiumin, and Fan Wei's Spring Festival Gala Iron Triangle sketches. What's going on here? In 2005, Gao Xiumin died suddenly, and he Qingkui, who was deeply sad, chose to return to his wife to recuperate. Zhang Yanru also accepted him again. What kind of secret allows three people to live in peace? He Qingkui, from a fisherman to a national first-class screenwriter who has won numerous awards, is inseparable from the full support of these two women. Today we will talk about those past events that have been dusted for a long time.
He Qingkui was born in 1948 in Simajia Township, Buyeo County, Jilin Province, on the edge of the Songhua River. Boys in the countryside must be able to work, He Qingkui has no power to bind chickens, he is thin, and his work is not as good as women. He is not lazy, afraid of tiredness, he is really bored. When his father saw him like this, he asked someone to send him to the village troupe. When He Qingkui was doing farm work, he was a child and went to the troupe to live a dragon. The two turned and blew, and everything was learned at one time, and one point was understood. He Qingkui has loved to make people laugh since he was a child, and he has survived the long winter with countless hot kang and countless paragraphs. This has accumulated a wealth of life material for him. He Qingkui began to write a program for the troupe, and followed the troupe in the village to perform everywhere. He also met Gao Xiumin, who was 11 years younger than him, during a performance. At that time, Gao Xiumin was a two-person actor. After the performance, the two forgot about each other. He Qingkui continued to be his fisherman, and when he was not fishing, he hid on the kang to write manuscripts. His artistic achievements in the first half of his life stopped here, and there was no major movement.
Although He Qingkui "does not do the right thing" in the mouths of the villagers, Zhang Yanru, Zhiqing, has taken a fancy to this kind of talent in him. She thinks that He Qingkui was born in the wrong place, if he is a city person, he will not be looked down upon because he can't fish, and people will admire his talent. Zhang Yanru did not hesitate to marry He Qingkui. After marriage, she gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and the whole family relied on Zhang Yanru to farm the land. In 1986, when the policy of returning to the hometown of Zhiqing came down, Zhang Yanru returned to the county with her family. The livelihood of the whole family depends on Zhang Yanru's meager income from selling vegetables, and her life can really be called the four walls of the family. This made He Qingkui feel very guilty, seeing his wife and children being dragged down by himself, living the lowest life, he is 40 years old, writing for 20 years is still nothing. Once he suddenly cried out of sorrow. Zhang Yanru thought that something big had happened and asked in a panic what was wrong? He Qingkui said: I am useless, I am sorry for you, let you live such a hard life! Zhang Yanru comforted, I thought something was going on. You just have to concentrate on writing, and everything in the house has me on top. He Qingkui was very touched and felt that he had really married a virtuous wife.
It was also at this time that He Qingkui met Gao Xiumin again. This woman who changed his life. In 1989, He Qingkui sent the manuscript of "Who Marries Whom" to the county theater troupe, and no one seriously read the manuscript of this nameless man and casually sent him away. He Qingkui returned to the vegetable market in frustration to continue selling vegetables. At this moment, someone called him "big brother", he thought he was going to buy vegetables, the man continued, I am Gao Xiumin, don't you remember me? After she said this, He Qingkui remembered. He Qingkui was still a fish and vegetable vendor at that time, while Gao Xiumin was already a national second-level actor and the deputy head of the county theater troupe. Gao Xiumin saw that Big Brother He was living in embarrassment, and he couldn't bear to ask, and our troupe gave the writers a 200 yuan reward for a show. Come and write us a show. He Qingkui said that he had submitted a manuscript to your troupe, and no one could see it. Gao Xiumin said then you can show me the manuscript.
Later, He Qingkui sent the manuscript to Gao Xiumin. Gao Xiumin liked this work very much, and she tried her best to rehearse the sketch with this manuscript, and also won the first prize of the Jilin Provincial Literary and Art Show. The hit-and-greet start gave He Qingkui hope for the first time.
The following year, the Cultural Bureau of Dongliao County, Jilin Province, hired He Qingkui as a screenwriter. He Qingkui, a down-and-out peasant, finally ate public grain. In 1992, He Qingkui created the sketch script "Baggage", and Gao Xiumin used it to compete and win the championship again. He Qingkui Gao Xiumin has since won several literary and art awards. In 1992, Gao Xiumin and He Qingkui resigned one after another and went out on their own. A screenwriter, an actor, a writer, a performance, a combination of pearls, the two contributed each other's most brilliant talent and enthusiasm in the creation of the twilight, and the feelings quickly warmed up. Soon they realized that no one could live without anyone. At that time, they both had families. Gao Xiumin divorced her husband directly, and then she waited for He Qingkui to divorce. He Qingkui was a little embarrassed, and he knew in his heart that his wife Zhang Yanru had been kind to him. However, in the face of Gao Xiumin's affection, he still proposed a divorce to his wife. Zhang Yanru was sad and indignant and resolutely disagreed. The children are also firmly on the side of their mothers, believing that their fathers are treacherous. After that, He Qingkui no longer mentioned divorce, but left home and moved in with Gao Xiumin.
He Qingkui's behavior of "abandoning his wife and son" made him highly criticized in his hometown, and he did not have the face to return to his hometown, but he kept sending money home. The following spring, He Qingkui took Gao Xiumin home to see the child and Zhang Yanru. He Qingkui, who returned to his hometown this time, was radiant and the whole person was 10 years younger. Gao Xiumin is also a gift with a large bag and a small bag. At the first meeting, everyone was embarrassed and did not know what attitude to use to face this "family gathering". He Qingkui said to the children: I know that I am sorry for your mother, she has suffered all these years with me, but I and your mother will only make my days poorer and poorer. I can only live with you Aunt Xiumin.
He Qingkui talked to the child in the outhouse, and Gao Xiumin went to the back room to talk to Zhang Yanru. Don't look at Gao Xiumin outside, but she is respectful in front of Zhang Yanru, speaking with a low eyebrow, but she also broke the window paper and said directly: Big sister, you let the big brother write me a book, we can all be red. When we live well, your life with your children will be fine. I assure you that we will never ignore you and your children. Zhang Yanru originally wanted to give Gao Xiumin some color to see, but she was gradually moved by her. She looked at He Qingkui's current mental outlook and judged the two of them when he was in his hometown. They had lived for so many years, and it was easy for her to see from her husband's eyebrows that he was doing well.
Before leaving, Gao Xiumin also forced the child to give tens of thousands of yuan. Later, Gao Xiumin often followed He Qingkui to see Zhang Yanru, giving money and gifts every time. After a long time, Zhang Yanru also looked away, He Qingkui's heart could not be tied, as long as he had this home in his heart! Gao Xiumin also can't bear to "kill everything", this kind woman is now only left with the name of "wife", so Gao Xiumin no longer asks He Qingkui for divorce. Since then, they have never mentioned divorce, and the deformed relationship between the three of them is in a delicate balance. The two women silently reached a tacit understanding in their hearts, one guarding the home and the other guarding him. Zhang Yanru became a famous and unworthy wife, and Gao Xiumin became a nameless lover.
Later, Zhang Yanru went to the eldest son's house in Guangzhou to take care of her grandson, and He Qingkui followed Gao Xiumin to perform and earn money. In front of the public, He Qingkui and Gao Xiumin went out of pairs, and they also called each other husbands and wives. Gao Xiumin's daughter Li Xuan also lived with them, and He Qingkui treated her like a girlfriend. Li Xuan knew that her mother had a big temper and was not easy to get along with, and whenever Gao Xiumin and He Qingkui quarreled. Li Xuan would go over and secretly say to He Qingkui: You don't want to be like my mother. It means you don't bother with my mom. Everyone's daughter said so, and He Qingkui was even more embarrassed to argue with Gao Xiumin, and let her go even more.
He Qingkui and Gao Xiumin did achieve each other in their careers. Fame is so strange that at the beginning you can't see the sky at all, and once you have the opportunity to show, it is often a soaring sky. In 1994, He Qingkui's sketch "Code" entered the Spring Festival Gala for the first time. On the platform of CCTV, they met Zhao Benshan, the king of the sketches. He Qingkui and Zhao Benshan saw each other as they always did, and there were too many common languages. They all come from the rural areas of the northeast, and in the rural areas they all belong to the "right business", do not do farm work and like literature and art. It is precisely because of the similarities in each other's experiences that their comedy "bacteria" are easy for each other to get. Together, they also easily collide with the unique linguistic baggage of northeasterners. In their words, their materials are all grown in the land of the northeast. He Qingkui began to write sketches for Zhao Benshan. In 1997 he wrote the sketch "Red Sorghum Model Team". In 1998 he wrote the sketch "Bye Nian". In 1999, he wrote the sketch "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow" and created the "White Cloud and Black Earth" series. In 2000, he wrote the sketch "The Hourly Worker".
However, these sketches have little to do with Gao Xiumin except for "Bye Nian", and it was not until 2001, when He Qingkui created the sketch "Selling Abduction", and Gao Xiumin starred again. She thought why Qingkui would write a few more lines for herself, let herself be more brilliant on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for a while, and then when she looked at the book, her lines were not a few words, and she was a little disappointed. He Qingkui explained: Zhao Benshan and Fan Wei are the protagonists, and the drama should be on them. Although your lines are not as much as before, they are heavier than before, and their artistry is stronger than before. He Qingkui's judgment was correct. In 2001, the Spring Festival Gala sketch "Selling Abduction" caused a sensation in the country and won the first prize. After 20 years, many people still think of the classic lines "It's okay to take two steps" and "What a bicycle to do". Many viewers told Gao Xiumin that although she had played many roles before, she was not deeply impressed, and she had very few roles in the sketch "Selling Abduction", but her performance was better than any previous one. Since then, it has also opened the era of Zhao Benshan Fan Wei Gao Xiumin's "Iron Triangle".
Also in 2001, Gao Xiumin played Ding Xiang in the TV series "Liu Laogen". Gao Xiumin used her true acting skills to vividly reproduce the image of "Northeast Big Mama". In 2002, the Iron Triangle once again launched the Spring Festival Gala sketch "Selling Cars", which was also well received. The sketches "Selling Abduction", "Selling Cars", "Heart Disease", and "Water Delivery Worker" won the first prize of the Spring Festival Gala in 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 respectively. At this point, He Qingkui's life was completely reversed!
But after collaborating on "Water Delivery Worker" in 2004, they parted ways with Zhao Benshan. During the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala that year, Gao Xiumin delayed the rehearsal of the program in order to save the sisters, and the program was full of loopholes in the review, which greatly annoyed Zhao Benshan, and the two escalated from quarrels to contradictions, Gao Xiumin left angrily, and He Qingkui also left. In 2005, Zhao Benshan and Fan Wei staged the third part of the "Flickering" series of "Kung Fu", and the screenwriter was no longer He Qingkui.
On August 8, 2005, He Qingkui's eldest son, He Shuchun, died in a car accident, and He Qingkui was deeply saddened. 10 days later, Gao Xiumin suddenly suffered a heart attack and walked even more suddenly, at the age of 46. He Qingkui's whole person was ruined, describing the sky as suddenly collapsing twice. On the day of the funeral, He Qingkui was carried into the spiritual hall by a friend. He shouted "Xiu Min Xiu Min" twice at the body. Zhang Yanru was also very sad when she heard this news. More than a decade of entanglement has allowed the three of them to have a delicate relationship like a family. Gao Xiumin died very suddenly and did not make a will. She left behind multiple properties. He Qingkui made it clear: I will not ask for Gao Xiumin's money, and those money will be left to her daughter Li Xuan. Li Xuan played Gao Xiumin's daughter Han Erqin in the TV series "Holy Water Lakeside". She inherited her mother's unfinished business and went to Beijing to develop after Gao Xiumin's death.
At that time, He Qingkui lost two close relatives in a row, and he could not withstand the blow in his 50s and had an emotional breakdown. Zhang Yanru couldn't bear to see He Qingkui's lost soul and took the initiative to take him home. Losing Gao Xiumin, the "confidant with a red face", He Qingkui was finally able to return to his family with peace of mind, and he returned to his wife to recuperate, which was what he needed most at that time. Perhaps Zhang Yanru is destined to face a decadent He Qingkui in this life. He Qingkui said that Xiumin was gone, like a big tree uprooted from my heart. I can't even plant a small grass in my heart now, so I want to live in peace and stability, and I want to live in peace and stability! At this time, Zhang Yanru once again became the guardian of him. Her husband lost halfway through, and then returned, enjoying his old age with himself. After Gao Xiumin left, He Qingkui's creation was significantly reduced, and the iron triangle combination created by him came to an end. Later, He Qingkui shook hands with Zhao Benshan again, and in 2010, he once again participated in the creation of the Spring Festival Gala sketch "Donation". However, his peak period left with the departure of Gao Xiumin, and then the era of Zhao Benshan's sketches also came to an end.
Time was hurried, and 10 years later, Zhang Yanru closed her eyes in He Qingkui's arms because of heart problems. She was his wife after all. I don't know if such a life is a consummation for Zhang Yanru? Now He Qingkui is 74 years old, and the fisherman who once went on the Songhua River has also reached the twilight year after experiencing the ups and downs of life. Whenever Gao Xiumin and Zhang Yanru are talked about, it is still difficult to hide the desolation in their eyes. Gao Xiumin is his Bole, saving him from the mud, and when he is finished, he leaves in a hurry. If gao Xiumin had not been reunited, perhaps he would still be hiding next to the Songhua River in the northeast. He thanked Gao Xiumin from the bottom of his heart. He only lived together for 14 years, and until his death, he could not give her a name. He Qingkui said that he was ashamed of Gao Xiumin and let her die unjustly, but Zhang Yanru was so "reasonable" that he could not bear to be too desperate. For Gao Xiumin, he has paid the most sincere emotions, and he also has a deep attachment to Zhang Yanru.
Now the two women who loved him the most in the world are gone. He Qingkui was lucky in this life. Both women were willing to fulfill him and did not want to embarrass him. In this special way, the three of them lived this life in peace.
