Whatever I am now, or hope to be in the future, is due to my angelic mother. I remember my mother's prayers, which have been with me and have been with me all my life.

For everyone, the most beautiful voice in the world is probably the gentle whisper of the mother.
In order to give birth to a child, mothers have to pay not only physical torture, but even more mentally, mental torture.
But all this hardship will disappear when you see the child's cute face.
Among them, there is a mother named Li Yuanyuan, who even paid the price of her life to give birth to a child with her husband.
This spirit is both touching and chilling.
As an actor, Li Yuanyuan is undoubtedly the brightest star of the last century, and as a mother, Li Yuanyuan is also a great mother.
It is precisely because of this that too many people do not understand why Li Yuanyuan gave up her gorgeous and beautiful path as an actor to give birth to a child?
After all, for her at that time, whether it was body or work, she was not allowed to give birth to a child.
So what kind of force can make Li Yuanyuan fight for her life?
And this, perhaps inseparable from Li Yuanyuan's life behind the screen, her life has invisibly shaped her and invisibly "saved" her.
So put aside these bubbles of light and shadow, let's look through the context of time to find a real Li Yuanyuan, and her legendary life.
Flowers nurtured by an artistic family
For Li Yuanyuan, art seems to be an innate part.
Because she has been immersed in an artistic atmosphere since she was born, Li Yuanyuan's parents are both engaged in art-related careers.
Therefore, the family they form is full of art, whether it is a grass and tree in the house, or a couplet photo, there is a floating atmosphere.
In 1961, the birth of Li Yuanyuan brought a jubilant joy to this family, because this little girl who had just been born was so beautiful, no matter who it was, seeing Li Yuanyuan couldn't help but praise her beautiful.
But Li Yuanyuan herself did not recognize what her appearance brought her, because she followed her parents in the major crews since she was a child, she has seen too many beautiful and handsome actors, and she has also seen them struggling for life.
Therefore, Li Yuanyuan has known since she was a child that she cannot gain a foothold in this industry by relying only on beauty.
Therefore, from the beginning of Li Yuanyuan's determination to step into the drama major, she was fully prepared, although at that time, she seemed to be really a small fight.
At school, Li Yuanyuan is an artistic activist, and she even started a children's theater troupe in the school modeled after her mother's theater troupe.
In addition to studying, Li Yuanyuan will take her friends to practice together, but after all, she is a child, there are no rules, so the things that are discharged are not classy.
But after all, this is the enlightenment of children's art, and Li Yuanyuan's parents are very attentive to their daughter's "repertoire" and often guide them.
Originally, everyone thought that Li Yuanyuan was just a childhood curiosity, until she applied for the Shanghai Theater Academy when she was admitted to university.
At this time, everyone found out that this little girl really wanted to inherit her mother's business.
Before going to college, Li Yuanyuan's mother patiently told her daughter to study hard, learn to practice, and not be a fool who only knows theory.
For Li Yuanyuan, her mother's instructions gave her a lot of motivation, so after she entered school, she showed her "proud" learning ability, soaked in the library and ran the crew to form Li Yuanyuan's college life.
For adolescent boys and girls, love is an essential seasoning, but for Li Yuanyuan, these are not in her plan, she just wants to learn.
Because she knows that as an actor, she must have a wealth of knowledge to lay a foundation.
In fact, Li Yuanyuan's idea is not wrong, because in a few decades later, a group of uncultured "actors" did emerge in the entertainment industry, who would only say to the audience's questions, "This question is meaningless." ”
If Li Yuanyuan had any knowledge, she might beat her chest.
In short, in that era, Li Yuanyuan's efforts were seen by everyone.
After graduation, Li Yuanyuan's alma mater invited her to graduate and teach at the school.
That year, she became the youngest teacher in the entire Shanghai Theater Academy.
Whoever puts this matter on is a privilege.
However, for Li Yuanyuan, who is not yet 40 years old, staying in school is a matter of pride and a little regret.
Because being a teacher means that there is no way to go out to take over the film like the classmates.
But Li Yuanyuan did not give up her dream, the so-called ten years to sharpen a sword, and finally she shined in the movie "Li Bing" with her excellent acting skills.
As a result, many directors in China proposed the idea of working with her, and she hesitated between directors for a long time, and finally chose to shoot the TV series "Secret Agent".
It was 1987, and television in China was spreading in a rapid way, and it was thanks to this medium that Li Yuanyuan began to become famous.
The year 1990 was memorable and memorable for Li Yuanyuan and the vast number of Qian Zhongshu book fans.
Because that year, "Siege" got the opportunity to film and television, and those characters who were once in the book were going to go to the screen.
In order to play Su Wenlun well, Li Yuanyuan repeatedly read "Siege of the City" several times, and at that time, the actor who played with her the most was Chen Daoming, so the two established a good friendship.
Sven's handsome "Fang Hongwan" and the charming and cold "Su Wenjun" are too compatible, and people at that time also did crazy things like CP, but just as the so-called world is unpredictable, Li Yuanyuan did not fall in love with Chen Daoming.
She loves someone outside of theater, a talented screenwriter.
That year was a new era for Li Yuanyuan, and it was also the bitter fruit of love that she was about to swallow.
Love will come in the future tense
When filming "Siege of the City", Li Yuanyuan asked the screenwriter for advice many times because of her seriousness about the script.
Coming and going, Li Yuanyuan naturally became curious about the screenwriting industry, and slowly, Li Yuanyuan herself also developed a lot of opinions on the script.
After the filming of "Siege of the City", Li Yuanyuan met a man named Liu Guoqing, who is Li Yuanyuan's alumnus and a talented screenwriter.
At that time, Li Yuanyuan was coming out of the relationship with the "Kangxi Emperor" - Jiao Huang in the previous paragraph.
I have to say that that relationship was a love against the public's attention for Li Yuanyuan, after all, Jiao Huang was 26 years older than her at that time.
Under the intervention of her parents, Li Yuanyuan had to break up with Jiao Huang, and this relationship also made Li Yuanyuan confused about love.
At this time, Liu Guoqing began to pursue her, and based on Liu Guoqing's career, Li Yuanyuan did not resist.
As soon as they came and went, the two people got together, and for people of that era, after dating, they had to enter into marriage.
So Li Yuanyuan didn't know much about Liu Guoqing, and the two got married in a hurry.
When I got married, naturally it was hello and I was good, and the two spent a very lingering and happy time, but the good times did not last long, and Liu Guoqing's literati temper buried hidden dangers for this marriage.
Since Li Yuanyuan likes to express her own opinions on the script, Li Yuanyuan will also put forward some of her own views on Liu Guoqing's script.
For a literati, the most intolerable thing is to be taught by others, so gradually the two began to go further and further.
Until a few years later, their relationship was like a rolling river, gone forever.
Divorce was a helpless injury for Li Yuanyuan, and since then, she has put all her energy into acting.
Just as the so-called love is disappointed and her career is proud, Li Yuanyuan has achieved great success in her acting career and has also been rated as a national performer.
For Li Yuanyuan, it was a good time.
It was at this time that she met a businessman named Yang Cheng.
At first, Yang Cheng didn't know Li Yuanyuan, he just fell in love with Li Yuanyuan at first sight at a drinking party.
For the pursuit of women, Yang Cheng seems a little clumsy, he will only frequently appear on the set where Li Yuanyuan is.
At first, Li Yuanyuan didn't feel anything, until later, under the reminder of a friend, she realized that Yang Cheng had been showing up beside her, but he didn't open his mouth to invite him to dinner or other words, so Li Yuanyuan was determined to make it clear.
When Li Yuanyuan found Yang Cheng, before she could speak, Yang Cheng stumbled and said, "Give me a chance." ”
Since then, Yang Cheng has been even better for Li Yuanyuan, cold weather, hungry and food, these things seem ordinary, but for Li Yuanyuan, this is a man's sincerity.
Thus, the two walked together.
Dying for giving birth
For Yang Cheng, marrying Li Yuanyuan is a great thing, because he really loves Li Yuanyuan too much.
After marriage, Yang Cheng is still a loyal audience of Li Yuanyuan, as long as there is an occasion for Li Yuanyuan to appear, Yang Cheng will definitely be in place.
For him, this marriage is God's gift to himself, so no matter what Li Yuanyuan does, he only has two words of support.
Yang Cheng and Li Yuanyuan's affection is so envy that I don't know how many people envy, and it is this sense of security that makes Li Yuanyuan determined to have a child and continue the bloodline between herself and her husband.
So at the turn of the century, when Li Yuanyuan was filming "Life in the Century", she found out that she was pregnant, and this happy news made Yang Cheng and Li Yuanyuan excited.
They gave the child a lot of names at home, and in the end, the two decided to wait until the child was born before making a decision.
But they didn't know that danger was coming.
Just when the two enjoyed the joy, Li Yuanyuan's physical examination report was sent, which said that Li Yuanyuan had cervical cancer and needed immediate treatment.
But to treat the child, Li Yuanyuan could not accept this, so she persuaded her husband and the doctor to wait for the child to be treated.
The doctor knew it badly, but he couldn't convince Li Yuanyuan, so he could only advise and was hospitalized immediately after giving birth.
In 2000, after several months of torture, Li Yuanyuan finally gave birth to her son, but two years later, bad luck still came.
Li Yuanyuan passed away at the age of 41, and the child who could not walk on his own cried, but could not recall his mother.
After Li Yuanyuan's son grew up, he gradually understood how much his mother had paid for herself.
So he developed the habit of watching his mother's film and television works every day, and in those lights and shadows, he saw his mother who he had never met.
Every year on the day of his mother's death, he would go to the cemetery to pay homage, and his father used to take him with him, but now that his father is old, he has taken his father with him, and for him, this persistence is a matter of course.
Even though Li Yuanyuan has been away for 21 years, Yang Cheng has never remarried and raised his son alone, and this sincerity is also moving.
epilogue
We can't judge Li Yuanyuan right or wrong with modern eyes.
Maybe it's really a pity to give up your life for an unknown life, but for Li Yuanyuan, it's all worth it.
In fact, no matter how Li Yuanyuan chooses, someone will judge her, so Li Yuanyuan made a decision to satisfy herself at that moment and follow her own heart, which is the most intelligent idea.
The beauty is gone, and we can't remember her demeanor, but her supreme maternal love deserves the respect of each and every one of us.
