Although Wang Xiaotang was only 14 years old at this time, in the troubled times, she also deeply felt the parting of life and death, and had the courage to face suffering.
After returning to normal life, Wang Xiaotang entered a secondary school Xi under the arrangement of his family.
However, in addition to studying Xi culture, Wang Xiaotang is also studying Peking Opera.

Finally settled down, Wang Xiaotang picked up his hobby again.
In this way, at the age of 20, Wang Xiaotang entered the Beijing Peking Opera Company with a dream.
It is here that she will meet the most beautiful love.
Career and love are both harvested
After Wang Xiaotang entered the troupe, she met a Yan Xiaopeng.
Yan Xiaopeng was already a celebrity in the Peking Opera Troupe at that time, he was handsome and chic, modest and polite, and he was a proper actor.
Such an outstanding man has naturally attracted the love of countless girls, and of course, there is now another Wang Xiaotang.
However, Wang Xiaotang, who had just entered the troupe at this time, could obviously only admire the idol in her heart from afar, and she was shy and didn't know how to express her love.
It turns out that beautiful women don't need to express themselves, because Yan Xiaopeng has long noticed this new beauty and fell in love all of a sudden.
By chance, Yan Xiaopeng invited Wang Xiaotang to come out to chat, and took the initiative to express his admiration, hoping to be with Wang Xiaotang.

Before they knew it, they had spent ten years of marriage, during which their family respected each other like guests, their careers were thriving, and everything was moving towards a better future.
However, God arranged a great disaster for them.
Fatal blow
In 1966, the Cultural Revolution broke out, and this chaos would change the fate of countless people, including Wang Xiaotang's family.
Because Wang Xiaotang's family's background is not pure, they became the target of attack, and the family of three was sent to the duck house. Their happy life collapsed in an instant.
At this time, the 17-year-old son knew that his parents were already having a very difficult time, and in order not to make his parents sad, the son proposed to leave and go elsewhere to earn a living.
Wang Xiaotang tried her best to stop it, but she couldn't change this cruel reality, and she felt that something bad would happen.
Only three months have passed, Wang Xiaotang received the news that her son was in danger, she was not well, and rushed to the hospital with her son, however, the hospital treated her coldly.
Wang Xiaotang hopes that people will help him and save his son, but unfortunately, because she is considered impure, no one dares to help.

Husband Yan Xiaopeng is also very painful, but he needs to cheer up mentally to support the family, because Wang Xiaotang needs his care.
In this way, a happy family of three has become two people on the verge of mental collapse supporting each other.
In the rest of the year, there will be no more laughter in their lives, and only negative emotions will be left in their lives.
In this way, three years have passed, not only has the situation not improved, but Wang Xiaotang's eye disease has recurred, and he is in danger of losing his sight.
Yan Xiaopeng looked at his own wife, she was still a young and beautiful girl when she married her, and only a few years later, she became such a haggard woman.
Looking at the tears on his wife's face and rough hands, Yan Xiaopeng felt very guilty, she felt that she couldn't go on like this, even if God was unfair, she had to laugh at life.
So, Yan Xiaopeng began to create some surprises in life, and also began to study how to humorally make his wife laugh and come out of the shadows as soon as possible.
With Yan Xiaopeng's careful care and enthusiastic infection, Wang Xiaotang gradually came out of the shadows, and his body continued to improve.
They were relieved, they chose to forgive this unforgiving world, and they agreed to live each day after that.
