Yu Shuzhen came to this world in 1936 and was born in an ordinary family with many children. When she was still an infant, she lost her mother's love. As the eldest daughter in the family, she has taken on the responsibility of taking care of her younger siblings since she was a child.
Every morning, she would take a group of young siblings to the mountains in search of wild vegetables to satisfy her hunger. Sometimes it was late, and Yu Shuzhen had to accompany her father to the river to fish.
The simple and not easy life has honed her strong and optimistic character.
Later, his father continued to marry a good mother as a stepmother. The new wife treats them like their own flesh and blood, which brings warmth to Yu Shuzhen's growth process. After growing up, Yu Shuzhen began to make a living in a factory in a foreign land.
During the day, she toiled in the factory; In the evening, after work, her greatest interest is to go to the art gallery and listen to the teacher teach her vocal music knowledge. Studying music brought her hope and joy in life, and she was so engrossed in it that she forgot when she could go home.
In the Spring Dynasty of 1956, Yu Shuzhen was finally favored by the leaders of the opera house through her singing voice that shocked the audience in a performance. Since then, she has officially joined the ranks of opera singers.
The opera house gave her a stage to display her talents. Through self-study and hard training, Yu Shuzhen quickly grew into an excellent soloist. A trip to Shandong made her a blockbuster and opened the door to her acting career.
The process of hard work has created the perseverance of singer Yu Shuzhen.
After working in the opera house for many years, Yu Shuzhen has gained the pursuit of many admirers. However, she only wants to devote all her heart and soul to her acting career. Until one day, an old employee of the theater introduced a young man named Comrade Yan to her.
Comrade Yan is the backbone of the technical department, conscientious and responsible for his work, and is deeply trusted by the leadership. At first, Yu Shuzhen didn't have any special feelings for him. But considering his outstanding qualities, she decided to give the young man a chance.
In the follow-up contact, Yu Shuzhen gradually discovered that under Comrade Yan's introverted and stable personality, there was a warm and sensitive heart. He is not good at words, but in the details of work and life, he will express his concern and care for Shuzhen in his own simple way.
Yu Shuzhen felt his sincere feelings, and the relationship between the two became increasingly close. Eventually, they bonded and started a small family.
After marriage, life is plain but warm, Comrade Yan is not only diligent and serious in his work, but also considerately takes care of Yu Shuzhen's various wishes in life. Yu Shuzhen sighed that she had found her sweetheart.
At home, she did her best to play the role of a good wife; On stage, she continued to develop her acting career. And Comrade Yan has always silently supported and cared for her, becoming her most solid backing.
The two have a son and a daughter, and although their lives are simple, they are full of love. A plain but warm marriage has made Yu Shuzhen's happy family.
Time flies, and Yu Shuzhen has entered the harvest period of life. Originally, she planned to retire and live with her children, but she found that the pace of life was difficult to adapt to the fast pace of her children's family.
Not wanting to be a burden on her children's lives, she began to consider moving herself and her husband into a nursing home. She learned that nursing homes provide professional medical care and a variety of activities that make life more fulfilling for the elderly.
At first, the children were very opposed to this, but after repeated communication, they also began to understand their mother's good intentions. In fact, the reason why Yu Shuzhen made this difficult decision was because of her love and care for her children.
She doesn't want to be a burden to her children, and she wants them to focus more on their lives and careers. She believes that attending a nursing home is not only the best choice to achieve her long-cherished wishes, but also a win-win situation for her family.
As a mother, she uses wisdom and tolerance to influence her children and make them support her choices. After the early misunderstandings, the children are now able to open their minds and understand their mother's right to pursue a lifestyle that suits them.
Yu Shuzhen's choice shows her positive and self-improvement attitude towards life, and also makes people see the self-improvement and self-love side of a mother.
However, Yu Shuzhen's decision to choose to enter a nursing home still caused some controversy in the outside world. Many people speculated whether her children were unfilial and could bear to send their parents to a nursing home.
Faced with such doubts, Yu Shuzhen was sad and helpless. She has explained many times that this choice is purely out of consideration for her children, hoping that they can concentrate on their own lives.
Indeed, sending parents to nursing homes is often seen as disrespectful in the traditional notion of filial piety. However, Yu Shuzhen pointed out with wisdom that honoring one's parents should not only stop at the level of material support, but also care for their inner needs, so that they can live a dignified and meaningful life.
She doesn't want to be a burden to her children and has the ability to take care of herself. Choosing a nursing home is a better way of life for her.
Fortunately, as time goes by, more and more people begin to understand Yu Shuzhen's intentions and support her in pursuing a life that truly suits her. There is also a recognition that the lifestyle choices of the elderly should not be viewed in stereotypes, but that the autonomy of each independent life should be respected.
Yu Shuzhen's wise choice shows her positive and enterprising attitude towards life, and also conveys the modern values of respecting the elderly and self-improvement.
Yu Shuzhen, who has been in the nursing home for 16 years, now completely regards this place as her second home. She often participates in a variety of activities in the hospital, and her life is rich and varied.
The staff and other elderly people here are very fond of this energetic old couple. Yu Shuzhen uses her optimistic and positive attitude towards life to infect and inspire everyone around her.
Occasionally, music lovers come to ask Yu Shuzhen for her singing knowledge. She always modestly said that singing well is not the same as teaching singing well, and she did not dare to accept the invitation of students. Seeing their mother living so happily and contently in a nursing home, the children are also relieved and relieved.
They visit their parents regularly, and the family relationship is still strong.
At the age of 87, Yu Shuzhen still retains a positive attitude and loves life. She uses her story to tell people that life is wonderful regardless of age, and the key is to use a positive and optimistic attitude to enjoy the sunshine every day.
With the spirit of self-improvement, she wrote an extraordinary life legend.
