On June 1, 1997, a white off-road vehicle passed like a bolt of lightning over the turbulent and agitated Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River, leaving behind the roaring waves under the wheel, creating a historical record of human driving over the Yellow River.
In addition to flying over the Yellow River, Ke Shouliang also flew over the Great Wall, has a number of flying car adventure records, and is recognized as "Asia's first flying man". In the show business circle, Ke Shouliang has also participated in film and television dramas such as "Gambler", "Truant Weilong", "Ancient Puzzle Boy", etc., and there are classic songs such as "Big Brother" and "Stupid Child".
Ke Shouliang, who has a bold temperament and is not delicate and pretentious, has the style of a big brother, which is not only admired by friends, but also supported by his family. On December 9, 2003, Ke Shouliang died of asthma after drinking and dying at the age of 50. His departure pushed his wife Song Lihua, who was accompanied by wind and rain, into the abyss of grief.
Now that Ke Shouliang has died of illness for 19 years, what kind of state is Song Lihua in the days without her husband, and has she walked out of the grief of losing her husband?
01.
Ke Shouliang was born in 1953 to a fisherman family in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province. At the age of 3, he moved to Taiwan with his parents.
When he was a child, Ke Shouliang was actually a "bad boy", because in his childhood memory, almost all of them were occupied by the word "fishing", even if he grew up, he would still show off his fishing skills in the sea.
In Taiwan, Ke lived in a typical poor neighborhood. Perhaps because of this, he also had a little more restlessness in his bones.
At the age of 13, Ke Shouliang became the "little black" in the "big brother in the village", and after seeing the adult riding a motorcycle, he was very envious and thought it was a cool thing.
As a result, he quietly took the keys to the car and sat on the motorcycle as he wished, only because when driving, he could not control the rush into the water. When the father found out, the father was directly reprimanded.
When he reached the age of 16, Ke Shouliang did not want to study, which made his parents angry, but the rebellious and young and vigorous Ke Shouliang, who did not care about his parents, said to his mother: I am too smart, I must go to the city to break in, here I will become bad.
So, without waiting for his mother's consent, Ke Shouliang put his luggage on his back, turned around and left home for Taipei, and entered a film company to run dragon sets.
Although Ke Shouliang is young and has no special skills, not to mention his academic qualifications, so his life after going to Taipei can be described as very difficult.
Fortunately, his courage was outstanding, and what others did not want to or did not dare to do, Ke Shouliang boldly tried, which allowed him to get a lot of appreciation, and he even got to know a group of dragon and tiger martial artists, but because the martial arts skills were too poor, he could not learn.
At that time, there were no special effects in the movie, and the action film was more fist-to-flesh, and this also contributed to the prosperity of the martial artist, especially the stuntman, a somewhat famous actor, when in danger or overwhelmed, will use the stuntman to transition.
In order to be able to make money, the young Ke Shouliang, because of his boldness, has also been favored by many people, although this process has been "beaten", but he does not care at all, he thinks that he can make more money.
In his spare time, Ke Shouliang saw some film and television books on flying cars, and he was immediately attracted, and his young dream was born again, and he was even more determined to realize his dream.
At the age of 17, Ke Shouliang used the money he earned to finally buy a motorcycle of his own, and also became a movie stuntman, which began his flying career.

In 1975, Ke Shouliang went to participate in the Taiwan motorcycle obstacle course, relying on courage and technology, and won the championship in one fell swoop.
This championship gave Ke Shouliang a lot of confidence and encouragement. In addition to filming, he will participate in various competitions and self-organized flying car performances.
Although with talent and courage, he has won many good results in the competition and won a lot of prize money, but there is not much money left in the hands of Ke Shouliang, because car competitions are all money-burning competitions.
Ke Shouliang is a proud man, and he never pretends to be sorry before and after. Despite his "big boss" appearance, he is kind and kind, and he can insert knives into his friends' ribs and have the style of a big brother.
It is precisely because of this that Ke Shouliang has also accumulated a lot of contacts in the circle, and has established deep friendships with many actors.
In 1982, when Zeng Zhiwei filmed "The Best Partner", there was a very dangerous scene, requiring an actor to ride a motorcycle out of the window on the third floor, and even more to stay in the air for a few seconds.
For this shot, all the actors shook their heads, saying that it was too dangerous to do it. Even Zeng Zhiwei himself felt that this shot was too difficult, but stubbornly he was unwilling to give up and could only ask around about stuntmen.
It just so happened that he saw Ke Shouliang's game, and Zeng Zhiwei and Ke Shouliang also nodded their heads. Although he was not very familiar, Zeng Zhiwei still had the attitude of trying it out, found Ke Shouliang, and explained the shooting.
In fact, when looking for Ke Shouliang, Zeng Zhiwei did not hold out hope, after all, to know this action, even if it is a famous foreign stuntman, he does not dare to try, after all, this carelessness will be life-threatening.
But after Ke Shouliang heard about this matter, he agreed without saying a word, saying: Although I have not done such a high level, I am willing to try.
It is also because of Ke Shouliang's righteousness and boldness, which makes Zeng Zhiwei very moved, and he has built a deep friendship with him. He himself is very moral, and for this shooting, Ke Shouliang also did his best to prepare.
Near the shooting, Zeng Zhiwei, who was worried about safety, retreated a little, and he found Ke Shouliang and said nervously: Otherwise forget it, this action is too dangerous.
But who knows, Ke Shouliang said: I promised to help you, I will definitely do it, you are at ease.
Seeing that Ke Shouliang insisted so much, Zeng Zhiwei had to give up, in order to ensure the safety of Ke Shouliang, he also made a lot of preparations on the set, and even prepared doctors and ambulances, if there is an accident, he can rescue it at the first time.
But all this preparation was not used, because Ke Shouliang landed safely with his courage and care, as well as excellent quality and ability, and this shot has also become a classic scene in the history of Hong Kong films, which has made Ke Shouliang famous in the circle, and he is also called "Ke Bold".

In 1986, during the filming of the movie "Brother Dragon and Tiger Brother", there was a flying car scene that was particularly important, but it required driving over a six-lane highway for a total of 75 meters.
Because the distance is too far, this also leads to insufficient protective measures, which also makes many people afraid to do it. Therefore, Jackie Chan found Ke Shouliang and asked him to help complete it.
Hearing Jackie Chan's request, Ke Shouliang drove to the scene without saying a word. This overflight is not only the most thrilling and classic scene in the movie, but also allows Ke Shouliang to break the Guinness World Record.
Because of Ke Shouliang's boldness, countless people in the circle admired him, and at the same time, his righteousness also deeply touched everyone.
Even Andy Lau is willing to call him the eldest brother, Andy Lau, who just entered the circle, was also taken care of by Ke Shouliang, and even the song "Lone Star Tears" was taught by Ke Shouliang to sing.
Therefore, the relationship between Andy Lau and Ke Shouliang is very good, so that in 1998, when Andy Lau and Wu Zongxian recorded "Stupid Child", an unintentional move by Ke Shouliang not only did not make Andy Lau angry, but also contributed to a classic.
At that time, "Stupid Kid" was being recorded, and the drunken Ke Shouliang broke into the recording studio without warning and sang along. Although Ke Shouliang is not a professional singer, he sings a sense of freedom, not only without a sense of violation, but also becomes the most classic version of "Stupid Child".
Later, Ke Shouliang launched an album, in which the song "Big Brother" became a classic song and was sung in the north and south of the river.
The true temperament of Ke Shouliang, and the morality, popularity is good, which also makes many people want to make friends with him, whenever there is any movie, they will find Ke Shouliang, let him play a role, or cameo.
For the invitation of friends, Ke Shouliang will not be disgusted, as long as there is time, he will participate in the performance one by one.
In the 1991 East China flood, in order to raise funds, Ke Shouliang participated in the charity performance with flying car stunts. At that time, Ke Shouliang performed a program of driving a motorcycle at high speed over more than 50 artists under the platform.
Among these more than 50 artists, there are big stars such as Mei Yanfang, Andy Lau, Jackie Chan, etc., who form a two-layer human wall hand in hand, although this is dangerous, they have great confidence in Ke Shouliang.
And this also makes Ke Shouliang have a lot of pressure. Fortunately, he succeeded, and this move also successfully raised 3 million donations.

Behind Ke Shouliang's repeated completion of seemingly impossible stunts, there are actually worries about his wife Song Lihua.
Song Lihua, an outsider, is beautiful at a young age, just took off her high school uniform and put on a wedding dress, married Ke Shouliang, who is 7 years older than her. Since then, his life has also been full of worries and anxieties, only because the most obsessive thing about his husband is to take risks to challenge himself and conquer nature.
At the age of 19, Song Lihua, who was desperate to marry Ke Shouliang, although she had 3 children for her, but more than 10 years later, Fang knew that the original decision was sloppy, for the safety of her husband, she had been in prayer for many years, and she also suffered a heart attack.
In 1992, Ke Shouliang and his eldest son Ke Youlun agreed that father and son would fly over the Great Wall together, which made Song Lihua directly angry when she heard it, and said to Ke Shouliang: You can fly, first divorce me and then say.
Hearing his wife's words, this made Ke Shouliang too frightened to act arbitrarily. Only in the end, under persuasion and comfort, Ke Shouliang still flew over the Great Wall and completed this feat.
Although a series of flying experiences have earned Ke Shouliang the reputation of "Asia's first flying man", it has also made Song Lihua, the wife of the flying man, the most worried woman in the world for the safety of her husband.
For more than 20 years, Song Lihua never dared to go to the scene to witness her husband's desperate risk, she and her three children lived in the quiet and warm Singapore for a long time, but the drizzle and breeze never soothed her heart that was always hanging high.
What makes Song Lihua even more uneasy is that because of the influence of Ke Shouliang, this makes the eldest son Ke Youlun also love flying car performances, and now he has his own flying car record.
To this end, Song Lihua does not know whether she will become the mother of the world who worries about her son in the future days.
In 1994, when Ke Shouliang first saw the Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River, he was shocked by the majestic water of the Yellow River in front of him. Looking at the gushing yellow water under this fierce wave, Ke Shouliang, who was very excited, decided to fly over the Yellow River.
However, how easy is it to implement such an ambitious plan? The first was the issue of funding, and when he revealed his determination to fly over the Yellow River, his parents sponsored him 3.5 million, but it was still not enough.
In order to realize this dream, Ke Shouliang mobilized his wife Song Lihua. At first, Song Lihua did not agree, but Ke Shouliang enlightened her: The Great Wall represents the father of Chinese history, the Yellow River represents the mother of the river, and she wants to show the self-confidence and self-improvement of the Chinese nation through flying.
The reasonable and understanding Song Lihua, when she heard Ke Shouliang say this, did not say anything more, and directly sold a house in Singapore, giving millions to her husband and supporting him to do things that made him difficult to sleep and eat and to be afraid day and night.
Even with the help of his family, Ke Shouliang still could not achieve his wishes, because of the problem of funds, the work team was directly reduced from more than 20 people to 3 people.
Even so, this grand plan almost died, just when Ke Shouliang and his wife were in trouble, the newly established Phoenix Satellite TV Chinese Taiwan to send charcoal in the snow, directly funded 15 million yuan to solve this big problem.

Years of restless and helpless life made Song Lihua a devout Buddhist, who burned incense for her husband every day.
People who have been in contact with Song Lihua are also infected by Song Lihua's easy kindness.
Because of the influence of his wife, even Ke Shouliang became good at charity. During the inspection at Hukou, it was found that there were only six broken caves in the Tingzi Primary School next to the highway, and Ke Shouliang immediately decided to invest 50,000 yuan to build four new classrooms for the school and install electric lights and televisions for the school.
To this end, the school was also renamed from Pavilion Elementary School to Feiyue Primary School.
With this good deed, Ke Shouliang also said that in the future, he will use the funds raised by the activity to build fifty schools on the mainland, repay his wife's wishes, and make "flying over the Yellow River" more meaningful.
At the same time, Song Lihua, who was also suffering from heart disease, made a promise that flying over the Yellow River was his move to close the mountain, and he planned to accompany his wife around the world to make up for the guilt of many years, and would be a good husband and a peaceful life for his wife.
The first and last time, Song Lihua brought her children to the scene to watch her husband test drive, but when she saw the danger, she still "wow" and shouted, although she trusted her husband's ability, she still did not dare to imagine what if, did not dare to face the terrifying waves in front of her.
Watching her children sit under the stage and cheer for the father on the stage, she still walked out of the crowd and secretly hid in the car, she prayed to God for her husband and son's blessing, because Ke Shouliang pleaded with the organizers that if he failed to fly this time, he must let his son Ke Youlun fly again to complete his father's long-cherished wish.
At 13:20 on June 1, 1997, Ke Shouliang drove a white off-road sports car, like a bolt of lightning, over the surging Hukou Waterfall of the Yellow River, creating a record of no one who has never come after the ancients.
At this moment, 60,000 guests on both sides of the Yellow River, as well as hundreds of millions of TV viewers in more than 50 countries and regions in the world, have opened their eyes, watched with bated breath and watched the miracle and witnessed this historical moment.
However, at this time, no one noticed that Song Lihua, who was hiding in the car, with her hands folded and her eyes closed, kept praying. When the three seconds of silence passed, the thunderous cheers on both sides of the strait suddenly rose.
It worked! It worked! It worked!
Listening to the cheers of the audience, a tear quietly rolled down from the corner of Song Lihua's closed eyes.
After success, Ke Shouliang, the first thing he wanted to see was his beloved wife, he returned to Song Lihua's side with a gorgeous wreath of flowers, surrounded by people, and the two saw each other wordlessly and wept with joy.

In 2002, Ke Shouliang once again successfully flew over the Potala Palace in Tibet. Although this time the overflight was successful, when he landed, he was injured a lot because of the shock absorption system.
After going to the hospital for examination, because of Ke Shouliang's previous physical problems, the doctor also gave advice that he must quit drinking, otherwise it will cause serious consequences.
Ke Shouliang, who is really temperamental and bold, where can he leave the wine. In front of Song Lihua, Ke Shouliang relented, but with his friends, Ke Shouliang did not take it seriously and continued to drink.
On December 9, 2003, Ke Shouliang attended a party in Shanghai, and he was drinking on his head, and he was suddenly dizzy, resulting in an asthma attack, because the scene conditions were limited, missed the best time for treatment, and thus unfortunately died, only 50 years old.
The sudden death of Ke Shouliang not only pushed the family into the abyss of sadness, but also plunged his family into a life crisis. He left behind a mortgage loan for a building and his children to go to school.
In order to take care of Ke Shouliang's wife and children, many friends in the circle have reached out to help, and Jacky Cheung donated 200,000 yuan on the spot to give Ke Shouliang an emergency funeral.
Zeng Zhiwei even filmed a TV series to tell the story of the difficulty of stunt people, while commemorating Ke Shouliang, he also raised future living expenses for his family, and the income from the TV series was to give Ke Shouliang's children an education.
After bidding farewell to her husband, Song Lihua fell into great sorrow, washing her face with tears every day, as long as she thought of her husband, she could not extricate herself, in just a few days, she became emaciated and emaciated.
During this period, the three children also took turns to accompany Song Lihua's side, carefully enlightening and comforting their mother. However, Song Lihua's feelings with her husband are too deep, those feelings and things, those years can not be forgotten, as long as walking in the familiar street, Song Lihua will unnaturally think of Ke Shouliang, and can't help but cry.
Because he could not rest assured of his mother, Ke Youlun and his younger siblings encouraged them: Mom, my father hoped that our family would be happy before he died, although his father was gone, he could not rest assured of us, so we must adjust our mentality and cheer up.
The words of the children touched Song Lihua, yes, the husband wanted the family to be happy before he died, and now that he has gone to heaven, how can he still let him worry.
Since then, Song Lihua has buried tears and grief in her heart and lived a strong life. Whenever her husband's death day or birthday, Song Lihua would go to her husband's grave and talk to him about the bits and pieces of these days and her current mental journey.
Every word was filled with love and heartache. In this way, Song Lihua was strong in grief and missed her husband in strength.
In September 2022, Ke Shouliang has been dead for 19 years, Song Lihua has shown a very strong performance, her life seems to be no different from ordinary people, but the inner pain can not be erased, and it will accompany her for life!
