Encounter: A glimpse of love at first sight
In the scorching summer of 1970, in a remote and remote village in Liaoning, Li Yucheng's wow and wow cries broke the silence. His parents were ecstatic and took him around the village, showing off their third son, but who would have thought that he would be shocked more than ten years later.
At that time, Li Yu grew up rapidly, and her pink little face was cute. After a few years, he admired his father and was also keen on the popular duo turnaround. There is an actress named Ma Yuqin in the village, she has a deep foundation and is quite famous.
In the late autumn of 1972, 8-year-old Li Yucheng secretly went to the village entrance to watch Ma Yuqin's performance. The sonorous and powerful two-person turn, he admired it up close for the first time.
The audience was crowded, and he squeezed to the front one by one, deeply attracted by the dynamic woman in front of him. When he returned home, Li Yucheng talked to his parents about Ma Yuqin: she was vigorous and had a beautiful singing voice, which really fascinated her.
The father smiled and said, "This Ma Yuqin is my old classmate, if you want to see her, Dad will take you there." Li Yucheng nodded happily like pounding garlic.
Time flies, 15 years have passed, Li Yu has grown up and joined a two-person troupe. During the first rehearsal, he saw a familiar figure in a trance--the memory of 15 years ago suddenly woke up, and Ma Yuqin was right in front of him! Li Yucheng was so excited that he stepped forward to greet her.
At this moment, Ma Yuqin is already a 40-year-old middle-aged woman, and she is also a heroic young man. Li Yucheng felt a warm current in his heart, and he realized that he had found a soulmate in life after falling in love at first sight.
Unstoppable: A firm choice in the face of many obstacles
In 1996, the seeds of the two gradually took root over the course of 15 years. This year, 26-year-old Li Yucheng turned into a towering tree and proposed to Ma Yuqin, who was longing for him.
One is in the prime of life, and the other is a 58-year-old middle-aged woman, and this unexpected "deformed" marriage news immediately caused an uproar in the circle of the two families.
Li Yucheng's parents were the first to learn about it and were so shocked that they couldn't speak. The villagers who broke through their glasses were also blown out of their old blood by this inexplicable news.
"Oh my God, my mother, can you get married at this age?"
"Does this guy have a bag in his brain? Marry his own mother-in-law! I have never heard of such a ridiculous thing. ”
"Maybe I'm blind, I'm afraid this life is over!"
Countless criticisms poured into Li Yucheng's ears like a tide, but he didn't care and chose to ignore them again and again. The fact that Ma Yuqin became a mother for the second time is undoubtedly a hammer that hits the already shattered worldview of relatives and friends.
In order to stop this absurd marriage, the parents of both sides tried their best, and Li Yucheng's father once severed the father-son relationship with him, so angry that he couldn't straighten his waist; Ma Yuqin was also scolded by her family, and she was slashed by her face.
All kinds of resistance did not make Li Ma and the others retreat, on the contrary, their determination was carved by the waves stirred up by this countercurrent. "I've always liked you in my life, and I've made up my mind!" Li Yucheng said righteously.
In order to protect this sincere love, he chose to run away from home. Ma Yuqin didn't hesitate at all, and followed with a simple duffel bag without saying a word. They set up their tents at the entrance of the village and began to live in dependence on each other.
Hand in hand: a sweet time on the same road through thick and thin
Li Yucheng and Ma Yuqin began a simple and hard life. During the day, he did some rough work in the fields, and at night he would stay warm in a simple tent. Hard work can't make them live like a year, because they have each other's company.
Li Yucheng will carry Ma Yuqin's burden and continue to work when she is tired; Ma Yuqin will also take care of the tired Li Yucheng carefully, bringing him home-brewed rice wine and bacon.
In this way, they have been hand in hand and have gone through a good 20 years step by step.
In order to get rid of poverty and become rich, the two re-formed a two-person theater troupe, and followed their parents' old path to perform everywhere to make a living. During the day, he pushes a cart to the village to sing from house to house, and at night it is a lively and extraordinary show.
Li Yucheng played drums to cheer up, and Ma Yuqin shouted songs. They had been busy all day, and they had finally saved a small amount of money. One winter in 2003, Li Yucheng stole a telephone pole to build a bed, and was sentenced to 10 months of labor reform.
The blow to Ma Yuqin can be imagined, she has a tense face all day long, tears are rolling in her eyes, and she is always missing.
In order to see her for the last time, Ma Yuqin decided to visit Li Yucheng. When the news reached the village, it caused quite a stir again. Everyone made fun of her for being crazy and having to travel more than 80 miles to see a criminal.
Ma Yuqin turned a deaf ear and set off with a crooked burden. The road is long and difficult, and she is an old lady who treks alone, just to see her sweetheart. Ma Yuqin goes every once in a while, and she always bursts into tears every time she meets.
Li Yucheng comforted: "I will come out as soon as possible, this is all fate, let's support each other!" This firm tone made Ma Yuqin's tears finally fall.
Time is lucky: watch each other's sweet rest of their lives
Li Ma and the two, who have gone through vicissitudes, have become popular again on the short video platform. Their accounts became popular, their quality of life gradually improved, and they even moved into a two-story building.
He no longer goes out to sing during the day, so he records videos at home and posts them on the Internet. Li Yucheng carefully arranged the scene, and Ma Yuqin put on bright elderly clothes and turned into an Internet celebrity.
Fans have praised the couple for being so cute and fascinating. Gradually, they made a lot of money, and even planned to travel abroad to spend their golden old age.
At this moment, Li Yucheng's parents finally accepted this deviant marriage. Perhaps the years have smoothed out the edges and corners, making them realize that there is nothing wrong with their son's choice; Or maybe it's because this little couple is really unbelievable - their sweet daily life is all about showing this sincere love.
"I'm so proud of my son to have met such a confidant. Li Yucheng's mother praised with red eyes. The family was reunited, and Li Yucheng and Ma Yuqin's faces were filled with long-lost smiles.
Ma Yuqin has entered the age of antiquity, and Li Yucheng has also begun to get old. He took care of his wife's daily life meticulously, serving tea and water, for fear that one would accidentally cause her to leave.
Even if Ma Yuqin is unable to move, it does not affect the sweetness of their lives at all. Sometimes Li Yucheng pushes his wife to take a walk in the park, sometimes the two of them sit on the sofa to watch old movies, and sometimes they simply enjoy flowers in the sun room...... In this way, they lived a romantic and warm old age, even if it was unpretentious, it is worth remembering.
True parting: 26 years of ups and downs
In the winter of 2023, the weather is cold and freezing, and the wind is blowing non-stop. Ma Yuqin's coughing sound was unusually harsh in the middle of the night. Li Yucheng distressed and added bed after quilt for her, but Ma Yuqin's body became colder and colder.
Early in the morning, Li Yucheng got up to cook porridge, but found that his wife was already angry. The first aid was ineffective, Ma Yuqin gradually passed away at the age of 84, her eyes were full of hope, as if she was still immersed in the warmth with Li Yucheng.
Li Yucheng was in pain, he numbly dealt with the aftermath, and then began a long and empty wait. He was the first to get up in the morning, and sat alone at the tomb in a daze; He was the last to leave at night, staring alone at his wife's smile on the tombstone.
26 years of time played out in his mind on a loop - acquaintance, acquaintance, and then staying together. Li Yucheng always remembers that Ma Yuqin abandoned her family and children just to follow her and fly away; His betrayal and separation are just to protect this sincere feeling.
They have gone through the ups and downs and finally become married.
"If there is fate in the next life, I will still love you. Li Yucheng muttered softly. He knows that the story of him and Ma Yuqin ends in this small cemetery, but the sincere love will always be engraved on the other side of the years, washed by the long river of time to shine more brightly.
This is the most touching secret behind their deformed marriage.
