The last days
In the last days, Wang Wenjuan was calm and serene, without pain, and the people who loved her and the people she loved were all by her side. "When I'm older, there are always such and such diseases, and we are relieved that my mother has not suffered anything." Daughter Sun Qingyuan said that in recent times, because of the repeated epidemics, the hospital has tightened the regulations on family visits. "Huadong Hospital has been taking special care of my mother, and I also did a nucleic acid test to accompany her on her last journey."
Sun Qingyuan updated his WeChat circle of friends in the early morning: Let me call my mother again!
Wang Wenjuan in her youth
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, Wang Wenjuan has spent most of her time in the hospital, not physically ill, but completely preventively protecting the old artist. During this period, she had a lung infection, and then her body was not as tough as before, but the optimistic Wang Wenjuan never talked about life and death, and her daughter often "coaxed" her mother, "You have to listen to the doctor's words, you have promised so many people, you will live to 100 years old..." For Wang Wenjuan to take care of some acquaintances of the WeChat public account before going to the hospital to see her, Wang Wenjuan said to them: "You are all waiting for me to come out, I will invite you to dinner." ”
In the 1980s, the Red Chamber Regiment was established as the head of the regiment
The Last "Sound"
In 2017, teacher Xu Yulan passed away, and Wang Wenjuan was sad for a long time, she said to her daughter: "One by one, they are gone." In this version of reality, "Brother Bao" goes first as "Sister Lin". Sister Lin, one of the most profound labels of Wang Wenjuan's life, has indeed accompanied her to the end. Admitted to the hospital, Wang Wenjuan brought a lot of paper, pencil and books. When she is in good health, she likes to write and flip through books. "The most read is the book about 'Dream of the Red Chamber', and all kinds of books are read." Jiang Xun and Bai Xianyong talked about the Red Chamber, which was always placed next to Wang Wenjuan's hospital bed.

"Sister Lin" is a bitter child. Little elementary school drama, send people under the fence, see people's faces. She was taciturn, she practiced fiercely, came to Shanghai to receive the first silver package in her life, with a monthly salary of 5 yuan, all sent to her mother, she had to carry a whole family with her thin shoulders. It is precisely because of the bitterness of childhood that it sets off this sweetness in the future. Sweet love, sweet career, sweet life, when interviewing Wang Wenjuan before, she has always said: "In this life, whether it is me personally or the country has undergone earth-shaking changes, I am a very lucky person." "She is grateful, she pours out her teachings to her students, and she sings about the times. Wang Wenjuan has always had expectations for celebrating the centenary of the founding of the party this year. In December last year, she composed a Yue song "Butterfly Love Flower Answer Li Shuyi" based on Chairman Mao's poem "Butterfly Love Flower". At the Shanghai Xiqu Arts Center's opera concert celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China in June this year, Wang Wenjuan's disciples sang the teacher's songs and won the first prize. This is probably Wang Wenjuan's last "voice".
