Preface
Do you still remember the old artist who is peerless on the screen - Zhong Xinghuo?
"A spark can start a prairie fire" This is the origin of his name.
The characters he created were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and won widespread love from people.
But behind him lies a painful family story.
He is a busy father who has been away from home for a long time to shoot TV series or movies, and is unable to accompany his family, which leads to a strained relationship with his daughter.
When he lost his wife and looked for love again, he was forced to leave the house because of the opposition of his children.
Even in the last moments of his life, he was not understood and accepted by his children.
What is the reason behind all this?
Sadly passed away
On the centenary of the development of China's film industry, many excellent films have been remembered and praised by people, among which there is an old man's name - Zhong Xinghuo.
He is a well-known veteran artist in China, who has created many deeply rooted characters.
However, he left behind his story and his regrets.
Before and after his death, Zhong Xinghuo had been looking forward to his daughter being able to appear by his side and accompany him through the final stage of his life.
However, until the end of his life, his daughters did not visit him once, much to the regret and sadness of many.
In fact, Zhong Xinghuo has three daughters, but none of them have ever come to visit their critically ill father.
It is said that although the youngest daughter made an appearance at the funeral, she also left quickly, and she didn't even take a good look at her father's last face.
Behind him, there is a woman named Zhu Yunyi who misses him deeply and bravely stands up to expose the truth, allowing people to understand a true story about family, love, and social responsibility.
Zhu Yunyi is Zhong Xinghuo's second wife, and after Zhong Xinghuo's death, she saw the indifference and ruthlessness of her three daughters, and her heart was full of grief and anger.
She denounced her three daughters for being unfilial, and made them understand how much their father loved them and how much he had done for them.
In fact, as early as 1982, Zhong Xinghuo had already met Zhu Yunyi and established a deep husband and wife friendship with her.
Although their economic conditions are not very advantageous, they support each other and create a happy family environment together.
In this process, Zhong Xinghuo has made great efforts and sacrifices to ensure that his family can grow and develop in a stable and harmonious social environment.
For the sake of his family, Zhong Xinghuo endured low-paying jobs, did not dare to buy new clothes, and lived in a very tight situation.
Looking back on the past years, we can find that it is precisely because of Zhong Xinghuo's efforts and support that his daughters can enjoy good education and personal development opportunities.
Maybe that's one of the reasons why his wife was willing to come forward after Zhong Xinghuo's death.
She hopes that her three daughters will understand that if there is no father who works hard outside, where will they have a stable life.
became an actor
Zhong Xinghuo was born in a poor peasant family in Anhui Province in 1924, with three brothers, and he was the third son.
However, due to financial reasons, the parents were unable to raise three people at the same time, so in desperation, they gave their youngest son, Zhong Xinghuo, to a wealthy family in a neighboring village as an adopted son.
This was a difficult choice for Zhong Xinghuo, but he could only accept the reality.
Although the changes in his living environment made Zhong Xinghuo feel confused, under the careful care and care of his adoptive parents, his heart gradually calmed down.
His adoptive parents treated Zhong Xinghuo as their own and gave him a good living conditions and educational environment.
When he was a teenager, his adoptive mother ordered a baby for him.
However, Zhong Xinghuo's dream is to become an actor, and he is eager to show himself and convey positive energy by playing different roles.
Despite the opposition of his family and the pressure of society, Zhong Xinghuo always believed in his dream and was determined to achieve it.
In order to realize his dream, Zhong Xinghuo began to read a lot of drama and history books to improve his cultural literacy.
He also actively participated in school performances to exercise his stage presence.
These experiences laid the foundation for his future acting career, in addition, he also taught himself acting courses to continuously improve his acting skills, and was fully prepared to stand out in the entertainment industry in the future.
In 1950, Zhong Xinghuo was fortunate to join the Shanghai Film Studio and began his career.
There, he had the opportunity to come into contact with professional screenwriters and directors, further deepening his understanding of acting.
With his talented performances, he gradually rose to prominence and won people's attention and affection.
With his superb acting skills and profound interpretation of the role, Zhong Xinghuo quickly gained a firm foothold in Shanghai Film Studio.
In 1956, he received critical acclaim for his performance in "Railway Guerrilla", which was his first major breakthrough.
Subsequently, he successively took over many roles in film and television dramas, including "Today I Rest" and so on.
In these works, Zhong Xinghuo successfully created a series of vivid characters that left a deep impression on the audience.
This not only proves his talent and hard work in acting, but also brings a great boost to his career.
The sadness behind the glamorous
When he was 17 years old, he was forced to accept a seemingly perfect baby kiss and marry a girl - Chen Qian.
Despite living in a different world, Chen Qian won Zhong Xinghuo's love with her kindness and thoughtfulness, and provided him with selfless support, allowing him to achieve his dreams.
Chen Qian comes from a scholarly family with a gentle and considerate personality, she understands Zhong Xinghuo's love for the film industry, and even squandered her family's savings, just so that Zhong Xinghuo can absorb more of the essence of movies.
Zhong Xinghuo was also moved by Chen Qian's spirit of selfless dedication, and the relationship between the two deepened day by day.
However, the pressure of life and the responsibility of the family made Zhong Xinghuo have to leave his lover and children and devote himself to heavy work.
Chen Qian took on the responsibility of taking care of her three daughters alone, but was pointed at by the villagers, and the daughters were bullied due to their father's absence.
This made the daughters full of resentment towards Zhong Xinghuo.
In the end, this separation became the fuse of the tragedy, and Chen Qian died in an accident, leaving a deep regret.
The family is torn apart by the loss of their spiritual support, and the daughters' resentment towards Zhong Xinghuo reaches its peak.
Zhong Xinghuo remarried, and the contradiction was about to erupt
After the death of his wife, Chen Qian, he struggled with loneliness and grief.
Chen Qian died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and Zhong Xinghuo was still working in the field at the time, so he couldn't rush back to see her for the last time.
The three daughters were very sad about this and blamed Zhong Xinghuo for not being by his wife's side at the last moment.
Two years later, Zhong Xinghuo met the gentle and kind Zhu Yunyi.
She is a nurse and a single mother herself, and the two have similar life experiences, so they came together.
Just when they wanted to build a better future together, they were strongly opposed by their three daughters.
The daughters believed that it was unfaithful to their mother that their father was in a hurry to remarry just a few years after her mother's death.
Since then, Zhong Xinghuo and Zhu Yunyi's married and living residence has been visited by their daughters many times to make trouble, and they have to move several times.
All this stems from Chen Qian's departure and the resentment of the daughters for Zhong Xinghuo's long absence from home.
In order to escape the recurrence of the tragedy, Zhong Xinghuo can only take his new wife to find a place to take refuge.
However, in the most difficult days, Zhong Xinghuo received help and support from his friends.
It was they who introduced Zhu Yunyi to Zhong Xinghuo, and they also found that Zhu Yunyi's appearance could not only relieve his emotions, but also help him regain his strength and devote himself to film work.
Despite the many conflicts and misunderstandings between father and daughter, in the end, Zhong Xinghuo chose to forgive and understand the daughters' behavior.
The couple moved out of their original home, let go of the troubles of the past, and started a beautiful journey in life, because "time heals everything".
But what I didn't expect was that when Zhong Xinghuo died at the age of 90, he couldn't wait for the understanding of his three daughters.
Zhong Xinghuo, the first batch of movie stars after the founding of New China, played a huge role in the construction of the motherland.
Unexpectedly, after leaving behind his successful career, he was just an old man waiting for his daughters to forgive!
epilogue
Whether in life or at work, we can't ignore the importance of relationships.
Especially in the family, we should pay more attention to communication and understanding with our loved ones to maintain a harmonious family atmosphere.
At the same time, we should also respect everyone's decision and trust that their choice will bring the best outcome.
However, life is full of uncertainties, and some things may not be beyond our control, such as our loved ones may leave us.
This feeling of loss is painful, but it also makes us appreciate the people and things in front of us even more.
