How persistent can a person be in love? Since Shi Shengjie, the cross talk master who has brought joy and laughter to countless audiences, died of pancreatic cancer.
His widow, Song Yan, waited at home for a year or two, or even three or five years...... , even if she waits until she is old, even if she waits for herself to grow old and powerless, she wants to wait stubbornly, waiting for the person who will never come back.
Some people may ask, doesn't she know the answer, doesn't she know that this is an unrealistic delusion? Song Yan knew it very well in her heart.
But she can't let go, she can't let go after all, she can't forget the genius who left important footprints in her life, and she can't let go of those bits and pieces that were incomparably beautiful......
Unwilling to abandon the young man
In the fifties and sixties of the twentieth century, cross talk was still a ninth-rate person who many people looked down on in their hearts, so after Shi Sheng's outstanding life, Shi Shiyuan, who was a famous cross talk master, did not want to teach this craft to his son, he did not want his son to be a dwarf like himself.
"Son, I don't care what you will do in the future that is meaningful to society, but you can't touch cross talk. ”
"Forget about your father, but you, your future child, have to be looked down upon. ”
Shi Shiyuan persuaded his son bitterly, telling him not to follow his old path.
But young people are always rebellious, and the more his father restricts him from learning, the more Shi Shengjie wants to change the law and steal learning.
Whenever his father was performing, or Xi practicing cross talk, Shi Shengjie, who seized the opportunity, would always learn cross talk in the most inconspicuous corner.
What's even more "terrible" is that Shi Shengjie himself is also very talented, and it didn't take long for him to learn it easily, and he even dared to play a piece of "Catch and Release Cao" on the spot at the dinner table.
"Who did you learn this from?"
As soon as he heard Shi Shengjie's cross talk, Shi Shiyuan, who was a father, was a little shocked and angry, surprised that Shi Shengjie's cross talk was so good, it was almost comparable to his years of hard study when he was a teenager;
Originally, he wanted to teach this "stupid son" who couldn't tell the size of the matter a lesson, but when Shi Shengjie said that he was self-learning on the stage, Shi Shiyuan, who cherished his talents, was reluctant to make a heavy hand.
So he made a mistake and simply let his son go all the way to the dark.
Not only did he start to focus on cultivating his son, but even when Shi Shengjie was seven years old (1960), he threw his son to the stage to perform, and this performance was exceptionally good.
Not to mention that the audience applauded happily, even the famous cross talk master Zhu Xiangchen (later apprenticed to Hou Baolin) recruited Shi Shengjie in 1961.
and exhausted what he has learned all his life, and he wants to train this talented child to be a cross talk master like himself.
However, just when Shi Shengjie was about to be cultivated into a talent, and even wanted to make a big show in the cross talk world, an accident temporarily smashed Shi Shengjie's prospects.
Break and then stand, fortunate to get married
Because of some accidents, Shi Shiyuan, who is engaged in cross talk work, was treated unfairly to a certain extent, and even ended up depressed in the end.
As for Shi Shengjie's mother, she was also hit hard by the departure of her husband, and even fell ill due to excessive grief.
As their children, Shi Shengjie is not much better, due to the involvement of "cross talk", 16-year-old Shi Shengjie was sent to the Beidahuang Shochu Distillery as a wine taster, and he has to taste high-strength spirits for up to nine hours every day.
This not only made Shi Shengjie's health visibly decline, but even forced him to contract the bad Xi of alcoholism - it was even more uncomfortable to leave alcohol than to die.
That's it, Shi Shengjie's cross talk talent was temporarily buried due to various special reasons, and it was not until 1975 that he was transferred to work in the Corps' literary and artistic propaganda team because of his good performance, and he had the opportunity to show his sketch talent.
After a period of training, Shi Shengjie (20), who had excellent results, was transferred to the Quyi Xi class of the Heilongjiang Provincial Corps in 1976.
Not only did he get the opportunity to perform on the same stage with the famous cross talk star Jiang Kun, but he was also lucky to meet his future wife Song Yan who could stay with him for the rest of his life.
Although they are in the same group, the two should have nothing to do with each other due to work assignments, but who can say what fate is?
Because of a "laundry", the two people who couldn't hit the eight poles had an inexplicable connection.
Due to the heavy performance tasks of the male comrades, the troupe arranged for the female comrades who had less work to wash the clothes of the male comrades.
This is nothing, but after Song Yan washed the clothes, Shi Shengjie said thank you politely.
"Why doesn't he tell anyone else, just tell you? Is there any relationship between the two of you?"
At that time, the matter of young people falling in love was very tight, so that the leaders suspected that the two people who couldn't hit the eight poles were secretly falling in love behind their backs.
So he dragged the two to talk on the spot, and repeatedly ordered them not to "fall in love" before the age of 25.
What's interesting is that it's okay not to say this, but it really makes the two curious about each other, not only want to communicate secretly, but also want to make the relationship between the two go further.
Later, when the policy was liberalized, the two people who warmed up their feelings dared to come together openly.
But having said that, Shi Shengjie didn't dare to mention marriage, not that he didn't love it, but his family background made him uneasy for a while.
Since his father's death, his family has been so poor that he can't even make a jingle sound, and even the house has been ruined, and he is worried that he is not worthy of Song Yan.
But Song Yan was calm, even to the point where he would prefer to live and die.
"Isn't it a little poor now? It doesn't mean that you will be poor in the future. ”
"Besides, it's not that you don't have the strength to live well, and you're worried about what you have, isn't it a superfluous move?"
Song Yan, who seems to be very arrogant but is actually delicate, wants to be brave by Shi Shengjie's side.
As for himself, he also made up his mind that he must give his wife a happy future, and worked hard for this for a while.
He was famous, but he became ill from hard work
Shi Shengjie is not tired, nor is he too bitter, as long as he can make his family happy, even if he is allowed to fight to the death, he feels that it is extremely worthwhile.
And it is precisely thanks to this kind of hard work that Shi Shengjie really made a future when he was the most unpopular in the cross talk world.
In 1981, Shi Shengjie made some fame in the performance industry with a "Mayor Hao", and even won the first prize in the national quyi performance, creation and performance.
At the end of the 80s of the twentieth century, his cross talk was so wonderful that he was selected by the Spring Festival Gala, and he successively became purple in the Spring Festival Gala with "The Adventures of the Little Shoemaker" and "Recruitment", "Greeting", "You at the Same Table" and "Ode to the Horse in the Year of the Horse".
If you want money and money, you want to be famous, and you can be described as a success.
But this is not without a price, in order to succeed, Shi Shengjie worked too hard, and even put himself out of illness.
In the 21st century, Shi Shengjie's physical health has declined visibly, and even in 2017, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
The reason why this disease is fatal is because most of the time, once diagnosed, it is at an advanced stage, which once caught the patient and his family off guard, and even the time and possibility of treatment are very small.
But even so, the disease still has to be cured.
In order to treat her husband's illness, Song Yan visited all the famous doctors in the country, from traditional Chinese medicine to Western medicine, but she was helpless.
Later, there was really no way, so Song Yan wanted to take her husband to the United States, where medical technology was more advanced, but this idea was strongly opposed by Shi Shengjie.
Shi Shengjie and Song Yan's daughter is developing in the United States, he doesn't want his daughter to develop better because of himself, and he has to be forced to overturn and start over, he can't do it, he wants to grit his teeth and carry it without causing more trouble to anyone.
However, the development of things always backfired, and on September 28, 2018, this cross talk master failed to bear the torture of illness after all, and left people forever.
Only by leaving behind a group of friends and close relatives can they increase their sorrow in the world, and even more willing to fall into the past forever.
After Shi Shengjie's death, his daughter, who moved to the United States, wanted to bring her old mother Song Yan over to develop together, but her mother's approach was tearful.
"I'm going to stay here, I'm going to be gone, he'll be lonely and uncomfortable, I'll have to guard him. ”
If possible, Song Yan even wants to spend her life protecting this unswerving love.
Epilogue:
If there is really an afterlife, I hope that a lover like Song Yan can meet his lover.
At the very least, this undying love should not be buried forever.
