In 1966, 23-year-old Huang Wanqiu stood on a high platform, fearlessly looking at the dense crowd below. Five years ago, she was a household name, and people praised her classic action of looking back and smiling.
At this moment, she has become the target of criticism. How did Huang Wanqiu fall from the pride of the sky to this? The starting point of all this starts from her determination to enter the showbiz 10 years ago.
In 1956, Huang Wanqiu, who was in her teens, told her mother that she wanted to learn opera, but was vetoed. But Huang Wanqiu was not discouraged, and with the encouragement of her brother, she mustered up the courage to enter the Guilin Opera Troupe.
With her outstanding acting talent, Huang Wanqiu soon became the flower girl in the group. And just like that, Girls' Generation's stage dream came true.
In 1960, an opportunity came. At that time, the movie "Liu Sanjie" was being cast, and Huang Wanqiu was also involved. Originally, she auditioned for the supporting role of Xiao Zhoumei, but after the staff found that she was more compatible with Liu Sanjie's image, she miraculously won the important role of Liu Sanjie.
In 1961, the film was officially released, and the sensational effect far exceeded expectations. Overnight, Huang Wanqiu became a household name, and her popularity increased rapidly.
At that time, Huang Wanqiu received the admiration and popularity of fans from all over the country. They wrote to her to express their affection, and some even moved their hukou to her city just to see her.
Huang Wanqiu's salary also rose sharply because of this, and she became a key training object in the regiment. In the industry, she can be said to be known to everyone and everyone. For a while, despite her young age, Huang Wanqiu's future looked bright, and she was the proud daughter of the sky at that time.
However, the good times were short-lived. After the outbreak of the Cultural Revolution, Huang Wanqiu was labeled as a "poisonous weed of bourgeois literature and art". She was criticized on the streets, and fell from the pride of the sky to the lowest point in her life.
The former followers either avoided her or joined the team of criticism, and the former fame was gone, and Huang Wanqiu fell into an unprecedented state of despair for a while.
When Huang Wanqiu experienced an unprecedented blow, a young man named He Youcai appeared. He became Huang Wanqiu's only spiritual sustenance......
However, the good times did not last long, and at the beginning of the Cultural Revolution in 1966, Huang Wanqiu was criticized for parading the streets, falling from the pride of the sky to the bottom. It was at this moment that Huang Wanqiu got acquainted with the newcomer He Youcai.
He Youcai is a newcomer who has just joined the troupe, and according to his seniority, he should call Huang Wanqiu "Teacher Huang". But when he witnessed the injustice suffered by Huang Wanqiu, his heart was full of sympathy and pity.
In that era when even old friends didn't dare to approach Huang Wanqiu, this junior mustered up the courage to be close to her from the beginning.
Whenever the criticism is paraded on the street, Huang Wanqiu is guarding against accidents. And He Youcai silently followed behind her, always paying attention to her safety. Once, the angry crowd almost hurt Huang Wanqiu, but He Youcai stepped forward and protected her.
"You don't deserve to be treated like this. Trust me, winter will pass. He Youcai said firmly to Huang Wanqiu.
In such a chaotic era, such words are undoubtedly a trace of warmth for Huang Wanqiu. Two people who didn't know each other got together by chance. Huang Wanqiu also gradually developed a good impression of He Youcai.
As soon as the news of the two falling in love spread, it immediately triggered a new round of criticism. Words such as "sister and brother love who have lost morality" and "the shame of the new society" are overwhelming.
In order to protect this feeling, they accepted the transformation of the countryside that was devolved.
Coming to the countryside, they lived a simple life. The two work together during the day, and go home at night to wash vegetables and cook, and they are intimate. In a humble environment, they cherish each other more.
Love is precious in the midst of suffering. Despite the difficult conditions, the laughter of the two always filled the cabin.
At first, they had to be isolated from the world for the sake of love. But they didn't give up, but chose to get along with each other. He Youcai's warmth has always accompanied Huang Wanqiu through difficulties and become a solid backing in her heart.
In 1982, after all kinds of obstacles, the two finally tied the knot. In this way, they proclaimed this affection in a simple ritual and nailed it firmly to the center of the earth.
This love process, which encountered many obstacles, became the most moving chapter in Huang Wanqiu's memory. It is precisely because of the tree that she was able to stand tall in the wind and rain.
In 1982, after the baptism of the Cultural Revolution, Huang Wanqiu finally ushered in the opportunity to turn over. In this year, she finally took off the hat of "bourgeois literary and artistic poisonous weed" and was officially rehabilitated.
Since then, Huang Wanqiu has returned to the field and returned to her old business. Years of training have allowed her to shine on stage like never before. She has starred in many dramas, such as "Chunlan Qiuju" and "The Great Wall Armageddon", which have been welcomed and praised by the audience.
Once upon a time, Huang Wanqiu was almost dismissed as a "lower ninth"; Now, she has regrouped and found herself on stage.
As time passed, Huang Wanqiu gradually came out of her grief and began to think about how to carry forward the historical figure of "Liu Sanjie". In 2002, she founded the "Liu Sanjie Landscape Garden" in Dalian to let more people know and remember the story of Liu Sanjie in another form.
In addition, Huang Wanqiu often participates in literary and artistic activities to absorb more nutrients. In 2017, she appeared at CCTV's Spring Festival Gala and sang the song "Song from Lijiang" for the audience.
Although she is over the age of six, she still exudes brilliance on the stage. Huang Wanqiu used her own way to go further and further on the road of acting.
Life is like a voyage, and she has also encountered stormy seas and almost hit the rocks. But in the company of He Youcai and other relatives, Huang Wanqiu finally returned to the stage she loved.
The trauma of the Cultural Revolution did not break her, but made her stronger. Adversity has taught Huang Wanqiu to look at life better instead of dwelling on the past.
Today's Huang Wanqiu is still active on the stage. She continues her story and uses it to inspire everyone who has experienced ups and downs in the past. She created her own legend and made "Liu Sanjie" an eternal monument.
If she was once the pride of the sky, now she has transformed into a widely respected artist.
Looking back on Huang Wanqiu's life, He Youcai played a very important role in it. It can be said that it is with his company that Huang Wanqiu rekindled her hope for life and walked out of an unprecedented predicament.
During the Cultural Revolution, when Huang Wanqiu was criticized and almost collapsed, He Youcai became her only spiritual sustenance. This junior didn't care about the eyes of others and showed kindness to her alone.
When Huang Wanqiu was most helpless, He Youcai's appearance was like sunshine shining into the secret room.
After the two fell in love, they suffered a new blow. In order to keep this feeling, they did not hesitate to accept decentralization and transformation. It was in a humble environment that they realized each other's preciousness.
Love has become the driving force that pushes them forward, allowing Huang Wanqiu to see the dawn of hope.
Looking back on this experience many years later, Huang Wanqiu sighed that He Youcai was the person who understood her best. He has a bigger heart than she does, and always forgives her temper easily.
Because of this, over the years, He Youcai has been taking care of Huang Wanqiu meticulously.
In 2002, when Huang Wanqiu created a landscape garden to spread the spirit of "Liu Sanjie", He Youcai always accompanied him. Whenever he encountered difficulties, he gave his wife the greatest support.
He was Xi to protecting Huang Wanqiu and never changed.
To maintain peace of mind, a person often needs the company of his or her other half. And He Youcai has become the most reliable other half of Huang Wanqiu's life. It is with him that Huang Wanqiu can survive the wind and rain and regain happiness.
The legendary road of her life, every step is inseparable from He Youcai's accompaniment.
He gave her strength, she gave him meaning. The two hearts are intimately connected and transcend the test of time. The story of Huang Wanqiu and He Youcai has become an inspiring story.
