In 1992, Yan Weiwen, who was about to report to the PLA Academy of Art, suddenly gave up his further studies and withdrew without hesitation, only because his wife's cancer recurred, and he wanted to go back to take care of his wife.
At this time, he has been accompanying his wife to fight cancer for the fourth year, and in his eyes, nothing is more important than his wife's life.
This year marks the 35th year that he and his wife have joined forces to fight cancer. Now his daughter has started a family, and his son-in-law is the son of former foreign minister Li Zhaoxing, and the two met while studying abroad.
Watching their daughter marry a good person, Yan Weiwen and his wife were very pleased. The true affair of suffering for so many years did not make him wither, on the contrary, although he has gray hair, he is still active in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
In 2022, Yan Weiwen's song "Tribute to Warriors" was sung at the award ceremony of the Winter Olympics, which once again inspired young athletes to fight hard.
So, what kind of story does Yan Weiwen have? How did he and his beloved wife meet?
"A small aspen grows next to the outpost, with deep roots and strong roots, watching the northern frontier."
This song "Little Poplar" must be familiar to many people to sing, it is Yan Weiwen's masterpiece.
As a well-known singer, Yan Weiwen's life was not smooth, but somewhat bumpy. The diagnosis of cancer by his beloved wife Liu Weixing, who is with him, was a major blow in his life.
Faced with such bad luck, Yan Weiwen survived, used himself as a crutch for his wife, and wrote a beautiful melody of husband and wife's love.
In 1988, Yan Weiwen was wholeheartedly preparing for the Young Singer TV Grand Prix, and his wife Liu Weixing would go to the stage every time, look at her husband on the stage, and encourage Yan Weiwen.
After one game after another, Yan Weiwen got closer and closer to the jackpot, and until the final, he was only within easy reach of the first place.
Both husband and wife fell into joy, and there is no doubt that Yan Weiwen will prove his singing strength again. At this moment, a hospital checklist shattered the dream.
"Diagnosed breast cancer", the cold five words on the checklist suddenly knocked Yan Weiwen to the bottom.
Yan Weiwen and his wife Liu Weixing are in free love, and they are even more loving after marriage, both of them are people in the literary and art world, and the common topics can be said to be innumerable, so Liu Weixing is not only a lover, but also a confidant for Yan Weiwen.
Every time Yan Weiwen creates a new work, he will let Liu Weixing check it. Now Liu Weixing's sudden diagnosis of cancer is undoubtedly a blow to him head-on.
Yan Weiwen, who discovered his wife's condition, immediately proposed that he withdraw from the competition, and immediately took Liu Weixing to a major hospital for treatment. Liu Weixing immediately refused, and he must talk about the treatment after Yan Weiwen finished participating in the competition.
She is also a literary and artistic worker, and she knows how important singing is to her husband, not to mention that the final is just a few days away, how can she give up now?
When it came to being emotional, Liu Weixing also proposed to let her husband Yan Weiwen divorce him, and then marry someone else, not wanting to delay her husband.
Hearing this, Yan Weiwen was distressed, so he had to calm his beloved wife's emotions and continue to participate in the competition according to her wishes.
With a heavy heart, Yan Weiwen stood on the final stage of the Young Singer TV Grand Prix, and in order to repay his wife, he really won the first prize.
Seeing her husband win the jackpot, Liu Weixing was relieved and was taken by Yan Weiwen to treat cancer. The husband and wife embarked on the road of fighting cancer together, and this road has been supported together for 35 years.
So how did Yan Weiwen get acquainted with Liu Weixing? How did the two form a deep relationship?
In 1957, in Pingyao County, Shanxi Province, a baby fell to the ground and was named Yan Weiwen. Yan Weiwen has a small workshop at home, employing four or five people to help knit socks, and his family is not rich, but it can be regarded as solid.
Later, the Yan family almost lost their wealth, and the family could only live on odd jobs. But there are a total of five mouths in the family, and it is not easy to feed five mouths by the two parents alone!
So Yan Weiwen's brothers and sisters dropped out of school one after another to work, both to subsidize the family and to provide for his younger brother's education. And Yan Weiwen was gradually alienated by his classmates because he didn't speak much at school.
In such an environment, Yan Weiwen immersed himself in reading, he knew that his opportunity to sit in the classroom was earned by his brother and sister working part-time, and it was not easy to get, and he must not give up on himself because his classmates were alienated from him.
Yan Weiwen is dedicated to learning, working several times harder than others, and his grades are first every time. But if you are excluded for a long time and targeted for a long time, people will also be depressed.
So Yan Weiwen thought of a good way, that is, singing! Every time he sang, the depression in Yan Weiwen's heart dissipated with the singing.
With long-term practice and his own talent, Yan Weiwen soon became a famous "little singer" in ten miles and eight towns.
After that, Yan Weiwen performed everywhere and sang to the villagers, but what he was more eager to wear was wearing a green military uniform than singing.
Once, two soldiers sat in the audience and listened to Yan Weiwen's singing, both of them always felt that Yan Weiwen was a good seedling, as long as he cultivated well, he would definitely be able to thrive.
So the two stopped Yan Weiwen: "Little comrade, are you willing to go to the literary troupe to become a soldier?" ”
As soon as Yan Weiwen heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, becoming a soldier is something he thinks about day and night, not to mention that he can continue to sing, and quickly replied: "I am willing!" ”
Unfortunately, Yan Weiwen did not follow them to join the army in the end. Yan Weiwen, who missed the opportunity, did not resent the family because of this, on the contrary, he was a complete filial son.
At that time, the Yan family had a difficult life, in order to feed the five children, the mother did not dare to eat more, often said: "The mother is full", so she gave her share to the child, and for a long time her health was in danger, and finally collapsed.
The filial Yan Weiwen is anxious, but it costs money to see a doctor, where to find money? Yan Weiwen overheard that the Chinese medicine shop was collecting grasshoppers, and Yan Weiwen, who got this information, immediately got into the grass pile if he got a treasure.
After school for half a day, Yan Weiwen did not go home. The family was in a hurry, not knowing where the youngest child had gone.
After the stars came out, Yan Weiwen returned home, limping, but with a smile: "Mom, I made 4 cents by catching grasshoppers today, you don't have to starve!" ”
Yan Weiwen's family then knew that the child had gone to catch grasshoppers, just to let his mother eat a full meal, and the family couldn't help but burst into tears.
It is gold that always shines, and soon the opportunity found Yan Weiwen by himself. In 1970, Yan Weiwen was admitted to the Shanxi Song and Dance Troupe with his own efforts.
13 years old is just not as old as puberty, Yan Weiwen ushered in a period of voice change, so he was temporarily arranged to the dance team. It was this intricate arrangement that made Yan Weiwen wait for the opportunity.
At that time, the propaganda team of the Shanxi Military Region went to perform in Yan Weiwen's song and dance troupe, during which the literary and artistic soldiers of the propaganda team noticed Yan Weiwen. Although this young boy is young, he is diligent in his work and has good dancing skills, which soon made the literary and artistic soldiers love talents.
Before the propaganda team left, a comrade approached Yan Weiwen and informed him that the propaganda team of the Shanxi Military Region was recruiting people and suggested that he apply for the examination. As soon as Yan Weiwen heard the opportunity, of course, he seized it tightly.
Yan Weiwen carefully prepared for a long time, and won the examiner's favor with a colorful performance of "Laundry Song" at the examination site.
Yan Weiwen thought that the victory was in hand, but the results could not come down after more than a month, and he panicked.
Tossing and turning, Yan Weiwen found the captain of the song and dance troupe and wrote a letter resolutely joining the army, so that the captain could see it. The captain also knew that Yan Weiwen could have a broader world development when he went to the propaganda team, so he gave him a guarantee.
In this way, the coveted green military uniform was finally put on Yan Weiwen's body, and Yan Weiwen's family was able to raise their eyebrows.
Looking at the sign of "Honorable Family" hanging in front of their door, Yan Weiwen's family couldn't help but cry, and Yan Weiwen's parents wiped this sign again and again, as the glory of the family.
Yan Weiwen successfully entered the propaganda team of the Shanxi Military Region, and what he didn't expect was that this time he would not only be able to succeed in his career, but also be able to harvest a good harvest in love.
Yan Weiwen was 15 years old at the time, and in the propaganda team, he often heard a female literary soldier named "Liu Weixing", just because Liu Weixing was also a top-notch talent.
At the same time, Liu Weixing also remembered the name "Yan Weiwen" in his heart, and the two excellent people silently paid attention to each other.
At that time, "pairing" was prevalent in the army, and two people learned from each other and improved each other. When the superior asked Liu Weixing who he wanted to pair with, without much thought, Liu Weixing spit out three words "Yan Weiwen", and the relationship between the two has become closer since then.
Because it is a pair, Yan Weiwen and Liu Weixing often go in pairs on various occasions at a time. The love between the boy and the girl has just opened, and the feelings between the two hearts are also growing wildly.
Once, Liu Weixing did not appear for a long time, and he could not wait for Yan Weiwen, who was "in the pair", to inquire around before he learned that Liu Weixing was sick.
Yan Weiwen, who was anxious, asked Liu Weixing's roommate to help bring some food to Liu Weixing, and also asked about Liu Weixing's condition from time to time.
It was not until Liu Weixing recovered that Yan Weiwen let go of his hanging heart. Shao Mu Ai, it was normal for the two to be moved by this, but it was forbidden to fall in love in the army at that time. The two got closer and closer, and after being noticed, Yan Weiwen immediately woke up.
In order to hide people's ears, Yan Weiwen and Liu Weixing agreed that the two would not talk to each other, but how could the feelings be suppressed?
Although the two did not speak in front of people, they talked endlessly behind their backs. Soon, the pair of "people with hearts" ushered in a difference.
At that time, the General Political Song and Dance Troupe in Beijing went to Shanxi to recruit people, and the literary and artistic soldiers of the propaganda team who learned the news were all rubbing their hands, and they wanted to win this opportunity, and Yan Weiwen was no exception.
With his correct appearance and excellent singing voice, Yan Weiwen stood out from the group of candidates and was selected by the General Political Song and Dance Troupe.
This is undoubtedly a great thing for Yan Weiwen's development, but in this way he will go to Beijing, and Liu Weixing has also been assigned to Qinhuangdao, and since then the little couple has been separated from each other.
But "this love is in the twilight of the dynasty", the two began a long-distance relationship, often passing books and fish passing on rulers.
In this way, the letter traveled between Beijing and Qinhuangdao for two years, strung together the affection between the two. Suddenly, one day, Yan Weiwen was late in receiving Liu Weixing's reply, and the letters sent in the past were not replied to, Yan Weiwen was worried in his heart, could it be that something happened to Liu Weixing?
Just as Yan Weiwen was preparing to go to Qinhuangdao, Liu Weixing's letter was belated. It turns out that Liu Weixing is about to be transferred to Beijing, and it will arrive in a few days!
After Liu Weixing came to Beijing, the two were even more affectionate. In 1982, the two naturally entered the palace of marriage, and soon became pregnant with their daughter Yan Jingjing.
Yan Weiwen, who had a happy family, also had great momentum in his career, and in 1983, when Liu Weixing was preparing to give birth, Yan Weiwen was arranged to go to Tibet for a condolence performance.
Yan Weiwen, who loved his wife eagerly, hesitated, knowing that this was a test of the organization's ability to do so, but Liu Weixing's production was imminent. This time, Liu Weixing encouraged him and told him to go with peace of mind and not to live up to her expectations.
On a plateau at an altitude of 4,000 meters, Yan Weiwen sang his first solo song, which was applauded by the audience, proving his ability to the organization, and his career has since opened a new chapter.
Unfortunately, the career was successful, but the disease came to the door, and the wife's diagnosis of breast cancer was undoubtedly a great blow to the entire family, not to mention that the daughter was still young at that time.
Fortunately, Liu Weixing was very strong and comforted Yan Weiwen and said: "Don't be too sad, I will let my daughter see it." ”
However, such a strong Liu Weixing also had a time when he was afraid, and in 1996, Liu Weixing's condition recurred, and the pain of chemotherapy was really unbearable for ordinary people, and Liu Weixing had to give up several times.
To this, Yan Weiwen's answer was that it was worth it to accompany Liu Weixing to get the hanging needle, even if he was healthy at the time, in order to give his wife some comfort.
Liu Weixing also did not want to keep dragging her husband back, always encouraging him to go out to perform, and Yan Weiwen also prepared some affairs for her to do in order to avoid his wife's boredom.
Yan Weiwen and Liu Weixing have been fighting cancer hand in hand for 35 years, supporting them all the way, and their daughter also has her own love, and this son-in-law also has a lot of origins, and Yan Jingjing met from studying abroad, and is Li Hehe, the son of former Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing.
As soon as the two families met, they talked happily and soon confirmed the marriage. Yan Weiwen was also satisfied with the marriage, he required relatives and friends attending the wedding to wear dresses, and he never sang in front of relatives and friends, and he also sang a song "Husband and Wife Love" at the wedding, which shows his satisfaction with his son-in-law.
Even when his daughter had a dispute with his son-in-law, Yan Weiwen chose to stand with his son-in-law. Once after Yan Jingjing's birth, Li Hehe changed the child's diaper, but because he was a new father, he always couldn't get it right.
As a mother, Yan Jingjing was anxious and complained: "How can I not even do this little thing!" ”
Yan Weiwen immediately stood up and said: "Hehe is a father for the first time, it is inevitable that he will be in a hurry!" ”
Sometimes Yan Jingjing couldn't help but coquettishly say, "Are you my dad?" ”
Now Yan Weiwen's family is happy, and his two grandchildren also make his old age full of happiness. He and Liu Weixing have been working together for 35 years, never giving up, and the story of fighting cancer together has become a well-known story.
In the face of his wife with cancer, Yan Weiwen not only did not abandon her, but also shifted his focus to his wife to take care of her and became a praised "good man", which once again proves that "there is true love in the world"?
