Gu Jianfen was born in Osaka, Japan in 1935, in an authentic Chinese family. Her parents have a small family business, and they have created a comfortable and warm little world for her. During the cherry blossom season, the pink dances in the courtyard, and the flowers are blooming.
When he was seven years old, his mother took her little hand and embarked on the road back to China, and after ten days and ten nights of turbulence, she came to a devastated foreign land. The dilapidated desolation came into view, and Gu Jianfen cried ignorantly, begging to return to his warm home in Japan.
Her parents sternly opened their red and swollen eyes and told her that this is our home, and our roots are here.
On the days when he first returned to China, Gu Jianfen couldn't sleep, the clouds of war were shrouded, and his parents' faces were full of eagerness and anxiety. In order to coax their daughter to sleep, they put an old radio at Gu Jianfen's bedside, and the ethereal notes flowed slowly, soothing her sensitive heart.
Later, my parents spared no expense and bought an erhu as a gift.
Beautiful notes light up the heart and inspire a love for music. Gu Jianfen practiced Xi intoxicated, and her parents had to carry her to sleep late at night. The seeds of music take root and blossom into a brilliant life.
At the age of 15, Gu Jianfen composed the first song "White Rice" in his life, and since then he has embarked on a tortuous path of creation. Two years later, she was admitted to the College of Music, where she was taught by the master to solve her doubts and delve into the mysteries of music.
On campus, I met my fellow countryman Xing Bo, and the two hearts had sparks, and they made a private decision for life. Unexpectedly, after marrying a lover, when her mother-in-law tore off the red cloth and sewed the wedding dress by herself, tears welled up in her eyes.
Just got married, and the policy forced Gu Jianfen to leave his beloved and return to the countryside. Xing Bo was alone in his infant daughter, and he could only ask his mother for help. The mother-in-law talked a lot, but the son did not dare to neglect to take care of his granddaughter.
In 1978, Gu Jianfen returned to the city and devoted himself to the career of writing songs. In 1983, she composed a number of classic children's songs, but was ostracized after their release. The singing of young friends is labeled as a glamorous sound.
The reason for her family background also made her leave the city and go to the countryside repeatedly. The old mother is seriously ill and cannot stay together for treatment, which is the biggest regret in this life. Between reality and ideals, struggle to pull out deep cracks.
Ideals and beliefs have been defeated repeatedly, and Gu Jianfen has not given up his persistent pursuit of music. She became a seller and set up a training class in Beijing, without charging any fees, just to spread her music dreams and put her heart and soul into the music.
Gu Jianfen looked around for seedlings in singing competitions, and was the first to take a fancy to Mao Amin's unique voice. After careful teaching, he personally brought it to the international music festival competition and rushed to the international stage in one fell swoop.
Gu Jianfen carefully guides every student and cultivates countless stars. Sun Nan and Su Hong gathered happily in the teacher's courtyard and performed classic golden songs. What they often mention is the earnest teaching of teacher Gu Jianfen.
Start from scratch and build a bridge of dreams with sweat and musical notes. Gu Jianfen allows more talented children to take the stage and realize their music dreams. She warms the hearts of every student with sincerity, and their success is the best reward.
Entering old age, Gu Jianfen pinned his creative dream on children's songs. She is determined to write 50 children's songs and warm thousands of families with simple notes. This wish was so daunting for the sixty-year-old that she began to write songs day and night.
The husband worriedly walked into the study with tea and advised her to pay attention to her body and not to be exhausted. Gu Jianfen ignored it, and quietly wrote songs in the study alone until late at night.
Completing a nursery rhyme every three months is a huge challenge for the elderly.
Fortunately, her husband was always by his side, putting water and snacks on the table, and handing the blanket when she was too late to write. Without his companionship and care, Gu Jianfen could not complete this arduous task.
In 2017, 82-year-old Gu Jianfen fulfilled his wish of 50 children's songs. During the holidays, students gather at their teachers' homes to perform. They treat their teachers as mothers and let her rely on them in her old age.
A simple note warms thousands of households.
Just as Gu Jianfen was about to retire and enjoy the joy of family, her husband's condition suddenly deteriorated and he passed away soon. The grief of losing her life partner made Gu Jianfen almost collapse, and she regretted that she did not have a better companionship with her husband when he was alive.
The grief has not subsided, and the youngest daughter also died of a cerebral hemorrhage. The grief of losing two close relatives almost overwhelmed Gu Jianfen. The life that should have been spent in her old age was gone, and she was immersed in memories all day long.
The daughter begged her not to give up, and finally Gu Jianfen mustered up the courage to prepare to resume life. However, as soon as she regained her spirits, she took medicine in an attempt to end her life. Fortunately, my daughter found it in time and saved a glimmer of hope.
Oscillating between despair and hope, Gu Jianfen struggled with grief with all his might. Her music career became her motivation to face life again.
When Gu Jianfen fell into despair of life, she read the famous saying "There is a kind of happiness called letting go", which lit up her heart. She realized that she wanted to live better and live for her loved ones who had passed away.
During the festival, the disciples visited frequently and performed happily in the courtyard of Gu Jianfen's house. The echoes of Na Ying and Sun Nan's singing are exactly the teacher's teaching achievements back then.
They treat their teachers like mothers and care for them.
Na Ying always complains that she can't take time out of her busy work, but she will definitely visit on time every important holiday. Buy flowers and fruits with Sun Nan, arrange them in the teacher's courtyard, and then sit around and talk about life.
Frequent visits have enlivened Gu Jianfen's life. She watched the disciples in the courtyard hurriedly arranging celebrations, and a warm current welled up in her heart. At the age of 88, she is still in good spirits.
In the care of students, spend their old age in peace.
