"Palace jade liquor, one hundred and eight cups, how about this wine, listen to me blowing for you"
"Tango is just a ride"
"Fourteen five six flowers bloom in the spring, watch the valley show on june six, and play six or nine heads in spring....."
I believe that most people can say this popular slip of the tongue, which is the golden sentence left by the old artist Zhao Lirong, who is both virtuous and artistic.
Today is the 22nd anniversary of the death of the veteran artist Zhao Lirong, we miss her, and her voice and smile are still in our hearts.
Enter the opera life
In 1928, Zhao Lirong was born in Baodi, Tianjin, and the seven sisters were her elder sisters. His elder brother Zhao Lianxi was a famous critic and performance artist, and his father was a barber in the troupe.
Since she was a child, she has been immersed in a strong opera atmosphere and accepted the influence of art, laying a solid foundation for her to embark on the road of art in the future.
When she was more than one year old, she made a cameo appearance as a "color doll" in the opera repertoire, did not cry or make trouble on the stage, and was very popular with the people in the theater, as long as there was a child's play, Zhao Lirong was the best candidate.
At the age of 15, Zhao Lirong debuted as the protagonist for the first time, and the song "Du Shiniang" began her drama critic career. Later, in "Flowers as a Medium" with the performance artist Xin Fengxia, the role of "Ruan Ma" was even more refreshing. The famous singing section of the newspaper is even more tireless, and the aftertaste is endless.
In 1987, Zhao Lirong stepped down from the opera stage where she had stood for half a century, and she may not have thought that at the age of retirement, the highlight of her life had just begun, and what awaited her would be a new challenge.
Walk into the Spring Festival Gala stage
At the end of 1987, the Spring Festival Gala rap program wanted to choose an actor, and director Deng Zaijun decided to let Zhao Lirong star, so he went to visit and invited her to participate in the sketch "Emergency Department". Because the performance method of the drama and the sketch is different, Zhao Lirong hesitated, but after repeated requests from the director, she still agreed to come down.
Since then, Zhao Lirong has started her career as the queen of the Spring Festival Gala sketches. It occupies the stage of the Spring Festival Gala sketch.
"Star Chaser", "So Packaged", "Migrant Work Adventure", "A Day of a Heroic Mother" and other sketches, with a unique Tangshan accent, constantly caused the audience to laugh.
Many of the bridges in it are carved into the audience's brain, which is still fresh in people's memories.
Life is like a drama, and the road of love is bumpy
On stage, she is full of vitality, optimism and humor, but her life is full of ups and downs in real life.
Teacher Zhao Lirong's emotional road is very bumpy and sad.
Xin Fengxia and Zhao Lirong are a very good pair of sisters, Wu Zuguang and Sheng Qiang are responsible for drama research, and after Xin Fengxia and Wu Zuguang married, they matched Zhao Lirong and Sheng Qiang.
At that time, Zhao Lirong was the role of the critic, and Shengqiang was a college student, and the two people with a lot of cultural differences did not get the recognition of their parents.
But Zhao Lirong worships Shengqiang, and Shengqiang also has a good feeling for Zhao Lirong. In the end they were privately engaged for life, and soon they were married.
The second year after marriage their eldest son was born, a happy family of three warm and happy. When Zhao Lirong was pregnant for the second time, Shengqiang and a few friends had some bad remarks at the dinner table, and as a result, they were reported to be "rightists", and the two began to live apart for a long time, until finally Shengqiang died of a sudden illness, and from then on to heaven and earth.
With the death of her husband, Zhao Lirong took care of her two young children and in-laws alone.
In those days, it was not easy for a woman with two children. Sheng Qiang's younger brother Sheng Hong often came to help his sister-in-law. In the same vein, the child is naturally very close to his uncle. Sheng Hong's sister intends to match the two of them.
This suggestion could be said to be "unconventional" at the time, and Zhao Lirong could not accept such feelings.
But during this period, Sheng Hong used his own actions to impress Zhao Lirong, and it was really too hard to take a child alone. If you marry Sheng Hong, the children are still the Sheng family and do not need to change their surnames.
Zhao Lirong's relatives did not understand very much, so the brothers and sisters turned against each other, and under the huge pressure of their families, Zhao Lirong married her younger uncle Sheng Hong, and did not forgive Zhao Lirong until the death of the second brother Zhao Lianxi.
Zhao Lirong and Sheng Hong lived happily, and after marriage, they bore Sheng Hong a son and a daughter, but because the daughter was diagnosed with cerebral palsy as soon as she was born, she died at the age of seven.
The departure of her daughter dealt a heavy blow to Zhao Lirong, and it was difficult to get out of the pain of losing her daughter for a long time, and it was her husband who accompanied her through that difficult time.
But fate is always playing tricks, and one day in 1984, Sheng Hong died of a sudden heart attack.
Because Zhao Lirong performed in other places, she could not rush back in time to see her husband for the last time, which also became her eternal regret.
The loss of the most loved ones has also become the darkest moment in Zhao Lirong's life. For the sake of her three children, she can only work hard and face the injustice of fate strongly.
The curtain ends, leaving countless joys
In 1999, Teacher Zhao Lirong was diagnosed with lung cancer, and when she got the news, her family was very distressed.
Under the deterioration of the condition, perhaps after experiencing too much life and death, Zhao Lirong regarded life very lightly, and in the last period of her life, she still smiled at life, personally sewing birthday clothes for herself and selecting the remains.
Zhao Lirong, who was suffering from her illness, pleaded with the doctor to allow her to euthanize her.
On July 17, 2000, Zhao Lirong, who was deeply tormented by illness, passed away. Her life has brought countless joys to the audience, and no one can surpass it so far.
Zhao Lirong, who has always been simple in life, the funeral is also very simple. On the day of the funeral, many people spontaneously came to worship her. Gong Hanlin has also said more than once: "My mother has never left." ”
Life kisses me with pain, but I sing in return. Before dying, he left a sentence for Gong Hanlin: "We must pay attention to this line of work, and we must not settle down." "A short sentence means a lot.
Former residence, simple and rustic
This is a Beijing courtyard, located in Beijing Hot Spring Town, a sense of simplicity and solemnity and her life has not changed at all, looking at the portraits with a smile, as if to bring us back to the scene of watching the Spring Festival Gala decades ago, everything is the original appearance, Teacher Zhao's breath is still there, I hope there is no pain in heaven.
