"She is the best actor in our theatre and her departure is a loss for the art world. ”
Facing the camera, Wei Yinjiu, president of the China Opera and Dance Theater, said with a sad face.
And the one in his mouth is a well-known singer in China.
Lu Xiumei.
The so-called departure is naturally not retirement and resignation, but a long death.
Back then, Lu Xiumei was a frequent visitor to the major Spring Festival Gala performances.
When it is hot, an appearance fee can be as high as tens of thousands of yuan.
Helplessly, Lu Xiumei died of cancer at the age of 55.
And all of this is inseparable from her director husband.
1. Imprisoned
On September 25, 2002, Lu Xiumei went home from work as usual.
As soon as she walked to the entrance of the community, she saw several procuratorate cars parked not far away.
Curiosity is curiosity, Lu Xiumei didn't take this matter to heart.
But she never thought that the staff in the car were at her home at this time.
The moment Lu Xiumei pushed the door open, her husband Zhao An was signing the summons card.
Perhaps sensing the horror and incomprehension in her eyes, the staff next to her took the initiative to explain.
"Someone reported that Zhao An was suspected of offering and accepting bribes, and the Beijing procuratorate summoned him in accordance with the law. ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Xiumei's legs instantly softened.
If it weren't for her husband's quick eyesight, she would have almost fallen to the ground.
Fortunately, there was no danger, Zhao An was just taken over and asked.
At dawn the next day, he was released on bail and returned alongside trial.
I thought it was an oolong, but who knew that things were far more complicated than Lu Xiumei imagined.
After more than a year of evidence collection and visits, the truth of the case was finally revealed.
It's just that this result is probably going to disappoint Lu Xiumei.
The investigation revealed that between 1994 and 2000, Zhao An repeatedly took advantage of his position to accept bribes.
This includes not only 110,000 yuan, but also audio equipment worth 500,000 yuan.
Interestingly, it was the same person who bribed Zhao An every time.
Zhang Junyi.
Before I met Zhao An, he was just a literary and artistic young man who was not angry.
I've written poetry, I've done music.
But if you want to put your work on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, it is simply out of reach.
It wasn't until the appearance of CCTV director Zhao An that Zhang Junyi's life took a turn for the better.
The story is actually very simple, one for money and the other for fame.
Driven by interests, two people who had no intersection were connected in this way.
But it stands to reason that the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.
Zhao An didn't even reveal his wife and daughter, so who would report him?
The most rumored is naturally that Zhang Junyi took the initiative to report.
But as for the reason for the report and the truth of the matter, we have no way of knowing.
On 12 December 2003, the court sentenced Zhao An to 10 years' imprisonment and confiscated 200,000 yuan of personal property for accepting bribes.
As soon as the news spread, insiders instantly set off an uproar.
You must know that Zhao Anke is a well-known director.
He has not only participated in directing CCTV's Spring Festival Gala seven times, but also served as the chief director four times.
At this point, no matter how glorious the past is, it can only be turned into a fleeting cloud.
Since he had done something wrong, Zhao An naturally had no complaints.
The only thing he can't worry about is at home.
After all, Lu Xiumei was on the rise in her career at that time.
Her husband's imprisonment will inevitably have a lot of negative effects on her.
In addition, Zhao An's daughter is also in adolescence.
Both materially and spiritually, they urgently need the company of their fathers.
How can such orphans and widows live?
As it turned out, Zhao An's worries were not superfluous.
When he left, he was almost separated from his family.
II. Creator
The trees fell and scattered, and the walls fell and everyone pushed them.
Since Zhao An was imprisoned, this sentence has become a true portrayal of the life of Lu Xiumei's mother and daughter.
Back then, one of the husband and wife was a well-known director and the other was a famous singer.
People who want to make friends with this almost break the threshold of their home.
But now, everyone can't avoid this little couple.
I am afraid that some of my past contacts will accidentally send myself to prison.
Seeing that there are fewer and fewer people around her, Lu Xiumei is also calm.
After all, in this world, there is no empathy.
No matter how hard and tiring life is, it must go on.
Even if it's just for her daughter, Lu Xiumei won't fall easily.
But life is so unfriendly to this mother.
Since her husband was imprisoned, Lu Xiumei has hardly received any performances.
Even if you finally get a chance, the appearance fee is only a pitiful few thousand dollars.
It's a world of difference.
So in order to protect her daughter's life, Lu Xiumei worked tirelessly all day looking for performance opportunities.
In just a few months, she was haggard and unpresentable.
Whenever this happens, relatives and friends around her will persuade Lu Xiumei to divorce.
She is so kind, so good, she doesn't deserve to live such a hard life.
Besides, 10 years is not 10 days.
After careful calculation, Zhao An was over half a hundred years old when he was released from prison.
However, no matter how others persuaded her, Lu Xiumei never nodded in agreement.
Husband and wife are one, how could she abandon each other.
But then again, Lu Xiumei's decision is not surprising.
After all, she had already been willful once in order to be with Zhao An back then.
Speaking of which, I have to talk about the history of the two of them.
Lu Xiumei was born on February 18, 1957 in Jinzhong, Shanxi.
Do you believe that someone was born for music, and she is such a person.
Lu Xiumei grew up, and her favorite thing was singing.
According to the memories of the neighbors, the child got up before dawn every day to open his voice.
From morning to night, almost the entire village can hear Lu Xiumei's singing.
If it were someone else, the neighbors would probably complain about the nuisance.
But Lu Xiumei is different, her voice is both loud and moving.
Listening from afar, it gives people a sense of enjoyment of national peace and security.
Maybe this is God's appreciation of food, Lu Xiumei is destined to take the road of music.
So in junior high school, her parents sent her to the Children's Palace.
It was also here that Lu Xiumei met the noble person in her life.
To be precise, it should be a music enlightenment teacher.
Li Qinglong.
Everyone in the circle knows that this is a top student of Nanjing Conservatory of Music.
So as soon as Lu Xiumei opened her mouth, Li Qinglong discovered her talent.
Especially in the field of treble, it is a rare talent.
For this reason, Li Qinglong gave Lu Xiumei a "small lesson" whenever he had time.
Of course, this smart and hard-working girl did not disappoint the teacher either.
In 1976, 19-year-old Lu Xiumei was successfully admitted to the China Opera and Dance Theater.
Under the guidance of professional teachers, her music path soon reached a new level.
"Where is the Spring", "Ode to the South Lake", "I Want to Kiss"······
One popular song after another pushed Lu Xiumei to the pinnacle of her career.
China's Top Ten National Soprano Singers, the First Gold Award of the National MTV Competition, and a frequent guest of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala······
Every sparkling label is a portrayal of Lu Xiumei's real life.
Along with her career, there is also her love.
3. Regrettable ending
As we all know, Zhao An is a well-known director of CCTV.
But what is less known is that he did not come from a professional background.
Before becoming a director, Zhao An was actually a dancer.
It was also in this process that he met Lu Xiumei, who was two years older than him.
The day and night get along at work, so that the two young people quickly fall in love.
It stands to reason that this is a happy event.
But when the relationship was made public, everyone was opposed.
The reason is very simple, Lu Xiumei is too much more than Zhao Anhong.
Can the relationship between strong women and weak men really last long?
In the face of the gossip from the outside world, Lu Xiumei has always turned a deaf ear.
She knows very well that she lives by herself, not for others.
In this way, Lu Xiumei received a marriage certificate with Zhao An despite everyone's opposition.
In order to realize her husband's "director's dream", she often matches him and accumulates contacts.
The time and place are favorable, and Zhao An finally has a place in the director industry.
But unfortunately, after becoming popular, he was blinded by interests.
In the end, he couldn't escape the end of being imprisoned.
In order to alleviate her husband's depressed mood, Lu Xiumei took her daughter to visit the prison whenever she had time.
Every time before leaving, she did not forget to repeat the same words.
"Don't worry, my daughter and I are waiting for you to come back. ”
When she was busy at work, Lu Xiumei turned her thoughts into words and wrote them down on paper.
When she had the opportunity to do so, she would read them all to her husband.
Fortunately, Zhao An did not live up to the expectations of his wife and daughter.
After being imprisoned, he actively reformed and behaved well.
In addition, Zhao An has experience as a director, so he often adjusts and innovates the TV programs inside the prison.
Based on these conditions, his sentence was reduced again and again.
Finally, on May 10, 2008, Zhao An walked out of the prison gate.
In the coming days, he must make up for his wife and daughter.
But unfortunately, the reality is probably going to disappoint him again.
In this year, Lu Xiumei was diagnosed with rectal cancer.
As for the cause of the disease, it is naturally inseparable from her physical and psychological pressure in recent years.
Accompanied by her husband and daughter, Lu Xiumei underwent surgery to remove the lesion in 2009.
Fortunately, the surgery was very successful and the condition was stabilized and controlled.
After her body recovered, Lu Xiumei returned to the performance stage as soon as possible.
It's a pity that the heavens didn't favor this conscientious old artist.
In 2012, the cancer cells spread again in Lu Xiumei's body.
Unable to bear the pain, she was admitted to the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences.
This time, there was no turning back.
end
At 9:41 a.m. on March 1, 2012, Lu Xiumei left in the company of her husband and daughter.
Perhaps because her family was around, she was very peaceful when she left.
Looking at his wife who would never wake up in his arms, Zhao An finally couldn't hold back the grief in his heart and cried bitterly.
If he could turn back time, he would not have been deluded on that road of no return.
Otherwise, his wife would not have died at the age of 55.
But in this world, how can there be regret medicine and a way back?
After careful calculation, Lu Xiumei has been gone for more than ten years.
I sincerely hope that she can continue her music journey in another world without illness.
