In the early morning of August 9, 2021, Yu Yuexian died in a car accident in Alxa, Inner Mongolia, at the age of 50.
Since then, there is no "thank you" in the world.
Many people know that although Yu Yuexian and Zhang Xuesong have been a model couple for more than 20 years, they have never had a son and a half daughter. Therefore, after her death, what Zhang Xuesong will do naturally has attracted a lot of attention. Once, it was rumored that Zhang Xuesong and Yu Yuexian's younger brother Yu Yingjie fought for Yu Yuexian's inheritance.
So, what kind of artistic life does Yu Yuexian have?
What kind of love experience does she have with Zhang Xuesong?
Why don't the two of them have children?
Is it true or false that the fight for the inheritance is going on?
Now, Yu Yuexian has been gone for more than 2 years, what is Zhang Xuesong's recent situation?
The road to dreams
Yu Yuexian is a native of Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, born in 1971, and her family's economic conditions are very ordinary, but her thinking is very traditional. Specifically, it is "patriarchy".
She was the eldest of the children, and she had two younger sisters, which made his father quite depressed. Therefore, the treatment of their sisters can be imagined.
Yu Yuexian has loved singing and dancing since she was a child. It just so happens that her cousin's family is an artistic family, and her cousin is the number one dancer in the song and dance troupe, and the two families live not far away, so she has often followed her cousin to the rehearsal hall of the troupe to watch the actors train and rehearse since she was a child. Since then, it has become Yu Yuexian's dream to be on stage.
However, her father's evaluation of her dream was "not doing her job". Even so, Yu Yuexian, who gave birth to a "reverse scale", still took it upon herself to sign up for the Children's Palace and joined the dance team.
When she was 12 years old, her father finally got on her laurel, why?
Because her mother finally gave birth to a son, named Yu Yingjie. But the good days didn't pass for a few years, and this little brother had a spinal problem when he was 8 years old and became a little "Luo Guo". The family was in a hurry, and in order to treat this old man, his parents' already small family funds were all empty.
As the eldest sister among several children, Yu Yuexian could only give up her artistic dream in order to reduce the burden on her parents and see a doctor for her younger brother. However, she is also a bit selfish. Because she is a kindergarten teacher, if she becomes a teacher, she will not only have a salary, but also have the opportunity to sing and dance.
The school leaders also took a fancy to her talent in art, and specially sent her to the Shenyang Conservatory of Music for a year of study.
In her memoirs, that year was nothing short of wonderful. And this experience made the stage dream burn in her heart again.
Coincidentally, one day in 1992, a student gave her an enrollment brochure for Chinese opera, hoping that she could try it. Actually, she didn't know the student. Later, she felt that the child was her "nobleman".
However, her idea was unanimously opposed by the school and her father. The school didn't want to let go of the teaching backbone that had been cultivated with great difficulty, and her father didn't want her to lose her "iron job". The only one who supported her was her mother. In the end, Yu Yuexian put her heart sideways, stuffed a fake note through the crack in the door of the principal's office, and then rushed to Beijing without hesitation.
But when she arrived at the examination room, the exams were in the second round. What to do?
After pondering for a long time at the gate of the Chinese opera, Yu Yuexian gritted her teeth and boldly pushed open the door of the examination room, jumping the teachers and candidates inside.
Facing the confused teacher, Yu Yuexian introduced her dreams and the reason for being late. Subsequently, she directly performed a "chopstick dance". So, as the last candidate in that exam, she successfully passed the preliminary exam.
However, after the preliminary examination, there is still the second level of the cultural class exam. After returning to her hometown, Yu Yuexian began to work hard to make up for her classes.
And the school will not give up, and the leaders ask her and her father to take turns talking. But Yu Yuexian's attitude is very firm, that is, she wants to be admitted to Chinese opera.
In desperation, the school leaders could only temporarily "demote" her to the logistics department, responsible for receiving letters, distributing newspapers, opening the doors of vehicles, and managing the boiler in the gatehouse every day. Many years later, Yu Yuexian remembers that she was a "janitor" for 82 days. However, Seon lost her horse, and she had more time to make up for Xi cultural lessons.
In the end, she passed the cultural class exam as she wished and was officially admitted to Chinese opera.
But then the problem is that her school won't let people go. This file is pressed on the school, she wants to leave, there is no way at all!
How can this be done?
No mystery after that
Back then, the Chinese opera was responsible for recruiting students, Mr. Ji Chonggong, the old comrade who played Liu Biao in the "old version of the Three Kingdoms". He admired Yu Yuexian very much, and in order to make this student's dream come true, he worked hard and had many consultations with the school through the Inner Mongolia Education Bureau, and finally took Yu Yuexian's file from the school in person.
Therefore, Yu Yuexian has remembered the old man's goodness all his life.
In September 1992, 21-year-old Yu Yuexian became a student of the 92nd grade of the Chinese Opera Performance Department. Slightly embarrassing, she was the eldest sister in the class, three to four years older than many of her classmates.
At that time, because the family's money was used to treat her younger brother's illness, her father only took 1,700 yuan for her tuition. Since then, all the expenses have been earned by Yu Yuexian herself.
When she entered school, her biggest dream was to make money quickly and install a phone at home, so that she could keep abreast of her brother's condition. Therefore, during the school period, as long as it is a serious job, she will take it. She also plays the role of 100 yuan a day.
Fortunately, Yu Yuexian was not alone in the class, because she met Zhang Xuesong.
Zhang Xuesong is the big brother in the class because he was a soldier. After coming and going, the big brother and the eldest sister talked about their feelings. What is commendable is that after Zhang Xuesong learned about Yu Yuexian's family situation, he resolutely proposed to face difficulties with Yu Yuexian and treat his younger brother together.
The two of them were actually quite rare at that time, in order to find a cheap house, they had moved 9 times in Beijing, and they have been living a life of "four walls".
In 1996, the two graduated. Because they are all "targeted trainees", they must return to their place of origin to work. But for the sake of love, they chose to pay expensive liquidated damages, and then carried the debt together and became actors at the Tianjin People's Art Theater.
Because of the limited income in the theater, the two of them have to find more crews and strive for acting opportunities to increase their income. However, the competition in the circle is too fierce, and they don't get many opportunities to appear.
Yu Yuexian's earliest "famous" role should be "Jin Cuilian" in the 1998 version of "Water Margin", which is the girl rescued by Lu Tizhi. In fact, what she originally wanted to fight for was "Pan Jinlian", but the director felt that she was not charming enough.
In 2000, Zhang Xuesong learned by chance that a surgeon in Nanjing could cure Yu Yingjie's illness. But after the doctor diagnosed Yu Yingjie, he was a little embarrassed, thinking that the operation was too difficult, and he was worried that if it didn't work, it would affect his reputation. And if there is no surgery, Yu Yingjie's best case will also be high paraplegia.
After a lot of effort, Yu Yuexian persuaded the doctor and his younger brother. But the problem of medical expenses was placed in front of her again.
For this reason, Yu Yuexian, who doesn't like to ask for help, lowered her face and borrowed it from everyone she knew. In addition, she doesn't care about her image anymore, as long as there is a play, she will accept it, even if it is to play a monster. In the end, the younger brother's surgery fee was finally scraped together, and the operation was successful.
In the following years, Yu Yuexian invested a lot of energy and financial resources in order to recover his younger brother and get married and have children, so that after marrying Zhang Xuesong, he never gave birth to a son and a half daughter. Zhang Xuesong never complained about this, and wittily said that he regarded his brother-in-law as his own son. Her husband's selfless understanding and support made Yu Yuexian grateful and moved.
So, the money spent on his younger brother is definitely not a small number, could it be that all this money was earned by Yu Yuexian?
Or did she meet some noble person again?
Forever "Thank You"
Remember the cousin mentioned earlier?
That cousin's name is Ma Lijuan, and she has a very special identity. What is it?
She is Zhao Benshan's wife.
However, don't think that Yu Yuexian became famous through this relationship.
In 2000, when Zhao Benshan was preparing to film "Liu Laogen", Yu Yuexian thought about asking her cousin to help. But Ma Lijuan mentioned it several times, but Zhao Benshan didn't approve it. This made Yu Yuexian very depressed.
This did not change until 2003.
In August of this year, Yu Yuexian starred in the drama "Holy Well". In the play, she plays a blind female beggar with an ugly face. When the play was staged in Beijing, Zhang Xuesong accompanied Zhao Benshan to watch it. When he saw half of it, Zhao Benshan asked Zhang Xuesong why Yu Yuexian hadn't come to power yet?
Zhang Xuesong told him that Yu Yuexian had been on stage all the time.
So, after the performance, Zhao Benshan was backstage, holding Yu Yuexian's hand tightly, praising her acting skills, and promising to have a suitable role, and she would definitely be invited to play.
The brother-in-law did not break his promise. In 2005, he invited Yu Yuexian to play Xie Dajia in "Country Love".
Faced with the hard-won opportunity, Yu Yuexian made full preparations, and also deliberately went to the countryside in the northeast to experience life.
During the day, she wore turnip pants to bask in the sun in the village and chat with the villagers. In the evening, she went to the night market to observe the villagers coming and going. One day, she suddenly saw an eldest sister walking in front of her with gloves and cheongsam.
In an instant, she captured the "soul of Xie Dajia", that is, a "big woman" who is independent, self-respecting and self-loving, and dares to love and hate. Moreover, Xie Dajia is also very enthusiastic, and she will help anyone who needs it.
In order to get close to the ideal role, Yu Yuexian didn't care about the image anymore, she ate and gained weight, and in more than 20 days, she grew 16 pounds. Because "Xie Dajia" was wearing No. 40 cloth shoes, she stuffed cotton into the shoes and propped up her No. 37 foot. Moreover, she wore such shoes for several months.
In the second half of the filming of "Country Love", in order to match the plot, Yu Yuexian started to reverse the operation again, trying her best to lose weight, relying only on vegetables and fruits every day. This messed up her biological clock, making her languishing and emaciated.
After Zhang Xuesong learned that his wife was suffering, he didn't say a word, so he lived near the crew and became a "nanny" for his wife, not only responsible for washing clothes, but also responsible for cooking nutritious and delicious meals for his wife. Under his careful care, Yu Yuexian's complexion improved while losing weight.
As the old saying goes, hard work pays off.
After the launch of "Country Love", it was very popular with the audience. "Xie Dajia" is also popular all over the country, and Yu Yuexian has finally become a well-known actor, and has won the Best Actress Award at the Huading Awards.
At that time, when the neighbors in her hometown saw her father, they did not call her "Lao Yu" anymore, but changed their names to "Lao Xie".
However, even if she is famous, Yu Yuexian has not forgotten her roots, she will often go back to Inner Mongolia to engage in various public welfare activities, and she has performed many times for free. In order to call on the whole society to pay more attention to children with disabilities. Yu Yuexian also transformed into a director for the first time, and co-directed the movie "My Colorless World in the Sun" with her husband.
At the beginning of August 2021, Yu Yuexian endorsed the cultural tourism industry in her hometown Chifeng on her social media, and invited netizens to visit the Ashatu Stone Forest.
But no one expected that 4 days after the release of this news, on August 9, she died.
In the early morning of the same day, Yu Yuexian's off-road vehicle accidentally hit a camel crossing the road on the provincial highway in the Alxa region, and the tragedy happened immediately. Unfortunately, everyone else in the car was only injured, and only Yu Yuexian unfortunately passed away from his injuries.
When the bad news came out, the whole network was shocked, and netizens lamented that "there is no more thank you in the world".
On August 26, Zhang Xuesong posted on social media to commemorate his deceased wife. In the article, he mentioned that he would fulfill his wife's wishes, one is public welfare, but to take care of his wife's mother and younger brother.
But not long after, there were rumors that he and his brother-in-law fought over Yu Yuexian's inheritance. In this regard, Zhang Xuesong was very angry, and quickly came forward to refute the rumors, and announced that Yu Yuexian's inheritance was only 4 million.
This seems to be a lot of money, but don't forget, Yu Yuexian is a famous actor.
Zhang Xuesong told everyone that it was precisely because his wife donated a large amount of income to public welfare that the inheritance was not as huge as the outside world speculated.
After the truth was revealed, Zhen Xuesong once again chose a dull life, he did not continue the string, but continued to take care of his mother-in-law and brother-in-law for his deceased wife, and when his wife was there, it was no different.
True love, that's what it should look like, right?
With such a husband who pays without regrets for himself and his family, Yu Yuexian should be enough to smile at Jiuquan.
