The famous composer Liu Chi, when he was near the middle of his life, accidentally met a little girl who was more than 20 years younger than himself to express his admiration to himself, although his heart was throbbing, but he already had both children, what choice would he make? Do you resolutely refuse this little girl, or abandon your wife and children and follow your lover to the end of the world?
Liu Chi chose the latter, just like the word "blaze" in his name, his life is quite fiery, and his love life is naturally no exception.
He loved two women, one deeply, married for forty years, and had three daughters and a son; One loved warmly, they were not afraid of the outside eye, and they walked the second half of their lives together. But after Liu Chi's death, his two wives confronted each other in court over a piece of paper.
The year of no confusion is a good person
In 1921, Liu Chi was born in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, where New China had not yet been founded, and China was still in a period of ignorant and confused exploration, and the people at the bottom were living in hardship. When he was nine years old, his father, a bank clerk, lost his job, which meant that the breadwinner of the family temporarily fell.
Even if Liu Chi was a child at this time, he had to go out to make a living, he came to a temple to be a "sweeping monk", for a little boy, how boring it is to sweep the floor, fortunately there is an ancient band in this temple.
The master in the band saw that this child was always hiding by the wall to secretly watch the rehearsal, and the two shining eyeballs turned straight around, so he went over and pulled him over, let him come over and play these instruments, which made Liu Chi happy, as long as he finished the work in hand, he asked the teacher to teach him these novel instruments.
Talent and interest, in less than two years, Liu Chi completely mastered the playing methods of these instruments, and became the "little genius" of this ancient band, Xiao, gong, flute, Sheng can do anything.
In the year of the Xi'an Incident, he had grown into a tall teenager, and he heard of the storm in the city, the outbreak of civil war, and the turmoil in China. He is not willing to live this life plainly, and he also hates that he has a talent and cannot achieve great things.
When he heard the news that the Red Army contingent was not far from his home, he was so excited that he immediately decided to rush to the Red Army contingent and participate in it, so he traveled day and night, and finally arrived smoothly, and thus he became a small Red Army.
The playing skills he practiced as a child made him shine in the army and became a "lark" in the army. On the way north to Yan'an, he saw his companions, whose faces had lost their radiance after exhaustion from the long trek.
With a clever move, he casually ripped a leaf from a passing tree, wrapped it around his fingers, and began to blow a little tune, blowing for a while and then singing for a while, the clear and powerful song floated over the marching team, bringing a trace of happiness and happiness to the partners, and everyone finally smiled and relieved the tiredness on their bodies.
At the age of eighteen, Liu Chi cherished his musical dreams and was admitted to the music department of Yan'an Lu Xun Art and Literature College, and under the guidance of his teacher Xian Xinghai, his composition and conducting skills improved significantly. "Northern Shaanxi Love Songs", "Jingle Bell" and "Playing Songs" are all works of this period, and these compositions are smooth and beautiful, vivid and charming.
Mr. Xian Xinghai's high affirmation gave him great courage and self-confidence, and he always remembered his words, "Loyal to the motherland and loyal to the people, the literature and art of our Chinese nation are for the masses of the people." "He has created a large number of works full of patriotic passion, and his popularity in China is high.
After a small career achievement, he met his first lover, this girl named Liu Chun, they had common interests and hobbies, made small achievements in the music industry, and soon became enthusiastic.
Liu Chun is always the first to listen to the works written by Liu Chi, and often makes some suggestions after listening. They are musical partners, spiritual companions.
The cracks in love are getting bigger and bigger
Liu Chun was a director of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, and after marrying Liu Chi, she had three daughters and a son. Sometimes Liu Chi does not have confidence in her work, and after listening to it, she will put forward some opinions, and the two discuss together, shuttling through the world of music.
Liu Chi will never forget the words Liu Chun said after his creative setback: "If you create boldly, I am willing to be your eternal and most loyal audience."
However, the romance of music can not resist the troubles of firewood, rice, oil and salt, raising four children is not easy, Liu Chi often has to travel, go to the field for several days, the burden of raising children is mostly Liu Chun himself is picking. She had to give up her job in a cabaret troupe and concentrate on her children at home.
She will be impatient and complain, and Liu Chi has no way to fully understand her, and even feels that her impatience is inexplicable.
The family's economic situation is not very good, and the cost of raising four children is overwhelming Liu Chun, and she needs to find some work to do while calculating carefully, not spending every penny casually.
She cooks three meals a day, every day, and she gets up every day to go to the market at dawn to buy vegetables, when she can buy more vegetables for less money. After a long time, she basically recognized the vendors in the market, and the vendors would enthusiastically shout "Sister Chun" when they saw her.
One day she went to buy vegetables as usual, and the sister-in-law who sold vegetables casually asked her: "Chun'er, why do you always come to buy vegetables so early, what about the person in your family?" She couldn't help but tighten her heart, her nose was sour, and she didn't dare to look at her sister-in-law, hurriedly said goodbye and ran away, tears kept rolling in her eyes.
She is also a strong person, she raised her arm and wiped her eyes fiercely with her sleeve, her heart was still infinitely sad, but this sourness, who is more?
Before entering the house, she heard the familiar voice, mixed with the children's play in the air, and her sorrow disappeared at this moment. Looking at his cheeks, she couldn't help but laugh, and the tears she hadn't had time to wipe away just now appeared cheerfully at this moment.
But what she didn't expect was that Liu Chi went home this time to say goodbye again. It was 1966, Liu Chi was treated unjustly, he was sent to labor, and with full of resentment, he reluctantly accepted reality.
Liu Chun cried, and reality gave her a headshot. Now she has to support this family alone.
Then she fell into a breakdown again, she heard that her husband had exchanged letters with a schoolgirl, and she never imagined that the home she had worked so hard to run would be threatened with dumping.
Sparks colliding in the dust
What Liu Chun heard was indeed true, Liu Chi was criticized in this turbulent era, but Liu Chi and the female students exchanged letters several years ago.
It was 1961, Liu Chi was invited to give a lecture at Liaoning University, and as a freshman, Li Ronggong was only 18 years old, 22 years younger than Liu Chi.
Li Ronggong has heard many of Liu Chi's works and admires him, and Liu Chi is also moved by the youthful and beautiful Li Ronggong.
This secret affection only stayed on the letters, and there was no deeper communication. Li Ronggong married after graduating from college and had children of his own, and they gradually reduced their contacts.
However, this sudden criticism made Liu Chi, Li Ronggong, and Liu Chun all fall into a deep water. Liu Chun couldn't accept Liu Chi's empathy and parting, even if it was already a thing of the past, she didn't want to face Liu Chi again.
Looking at Li Ronggong again, after his husband knew about this, he thought that it was simply dishonorable, his wife turned out to be this kind of person, and the two also had a gap, and later divorced.
After Li Ronggong learned of Liu Chi's situation, he decided to ignore the comments of others and embarked on the road to visit Liu Chi. When the old people met, their eyes were full of tears. At this time, Liu Chi was in low spirits and lifeless, his hair was tied with strands of dead knot because he had not been washed for too long, and he could even pick out lice, and his clothes were covered with stains and dust.
When Li Ronggong saw his appearance at this time, he could only pity. Without the slightest disgust and contempt, he cleaned up his body and changed into a clean outfit, and Liu Chi was radiant again.
Later, a reporter interviewed Li Ronggong and asked her: "If there is an afterlife, are you still willing to take this road?" Li Ronggong did not hesitate at all, and replied, "If you get on the thief's boat, you can't get off." I already knew that our love back then would cause so many things later, and I wouldn't be nice to you if I beat me to death! ”
Li Ronggong replied not because she regretted it, but because she thought that she would be satisfied if she could get such a sincere love as Liu Chi in this life.
After Li Ronggong divorced her husband, he looked forward to the day of Liu Chi's rehabilitation, during which they resumed their previous correspondence, and the power of writing was enormous.
Li Ronggong wrote with warm strokes: "I believe that the bright day is coming", "I have always been on your side", "I believe that we will meet soon".
Liu Chi was very moved, he thought that Li Ronggong was his angel, and he also expressed in the letter: "Thank you for giving me strength" and "You are like a little sun". In times of suffering, such spiritual support is really rare.
The two wives faced off in court
Liu Chun spent the rest of her life in grief, and she also expressed her dissatisfaction and disappointment in a letter to their mutual friend Wang Yong.
Liu Chi openly interacted with Li Ronggong, and she repeatedly consulted Liu Chi to separate him from Li Ronggong, just for the sake of the child, but this did not have any effect. Although Liu Chi loves children, he can't give up the woman he loves, and he also treats Li Ronggong's two children as his own, just like the idiom "love the house and Wu".
Liu Chun and Liu Chi eventually divorced in 1989.
On 20 March 2001, the writer's digest newspaper published an article excerpted from "Lady" entitled "Musician Liu Chi and Li Ronggong's 38-Year Extramarital Affair," which was signed as Zhang Zhuozhen, and the words "the wife drew a knife at each other," "Liu Chi was stabbed and wandered the world," and "the eight-year divorce war" appeared.
Liu Chun believed that the publication of the article had caused him and his family to suffer great mental pressure and great harm to their lives, so he took the Writers Publishing House to court, asking the court to order him to infringe, apologize in national newspapers and periodicals, eliminate the impact and pay 100,000 yuan in compensation for moral damages.
When the author of the article heard Liu Chun's demands, he didn't know where to spill his anger. He obviously wrote an article based on facts, and every word has a literary source, where can Liu Chun "slander" himself like this. So he appealed to the court, asking for a return of his innocence.
Soon, the two met in the public hall. The author of the article defended himself with the factual basis for his writing, and the report of Li Ronggong's interview was also found, in which Li Ronggong said that Liu Chi had repeatedly told him about his discord with his wife, so that they gradually drifted apart, and their marriage could not return to heaven.
The conversation on the report was laid out there in black and white, and Liu Chun was speechless, she just wanted to escape the place quickly, afraid that others would see her red eyes.
Liu Chun's appeal was rejected, I don't know when this knot in Liu Chun's heart will be untied, Li Ronggong's dictation and Liu Chi's letter listed the facts one by one, which undoubtedly carved another scar on her heart.
Liu Chi's two relationships are often discussed by the world, we must see that the love life is Liu Chi's own, I believe he will not regret his choice. In these two relationships, Liu Chi and Liu Chun were deeply in love, and this sincere love existed, and that was enough. Liu Chi and Li Ronggong took care of each other for the second half of their lives, and they are also worthy of our admiration.
