She is the premier goddess-level figure in the minds of many opera fans, and has the reputation of "the first Tsing Yi" in Peking Opera in the industry. She is the famous Peking Opera performance artist Li Weikang.
Of course, the reason why Li Weikang is so popular is inseparable from her talent and hard work.
However, what is unexpected is that such a goddess-level artist who has fascinated millions of theater fans and is both talented and beautiful is full of unconfidence in his married life.
In the 49 years of marriage, she and her husband have followed the AA system in everything in life, no matter how big or small, and will never take advantage of each other.
Even the most mundane chores have to be clearly divided, which may seem incomprehensible to outsiders.
Because the traditional concept of the Chinese is that husband and wife should support each other, help each other, eat together with hardships, and enjoy happiness together, why should husband and wife be so clear.
However, Li Weikang and her husband's married life in the past 50 years has not affected the relationship between husband and wife because of the AA system, but has lived a very happy life, and they are a well-known "model couple" in the industry. How exactly do they do it?
The road was bumpy and young
Li Weikang was born in the imperial city, in the atmosphere of Peking Opera in Beijing, Li Weikang's parents are not "exempt from vulgarity", they are senior Peking Opera lovers, and even like to hum a couple of sentences from time to time.
Speaking of the time when Li Weikang was influenced by Peking Opera, it was older than Li Weikang's age. Because Li Weikang's mother often listened to Peking Opera when she was pregnant for ten months, it is natural that Li Weikang was born in "prenatal Peking Opera".
At that time, Li Weikang didn't have any entertainment projects, so he often listened to Peking Opera with his parents, and listened to it, Li Weikang, who had not yet learned to speak, actually began to hum along with the tone of Peking Opera.
Until Li Weikang suddenly hummed the track of "Butterfly Loves Flowers" in its entirety one day, Li's father couldn't believe his ears.
Seeing that his daughter was so talented in Peking Opera, Li's father resolutely chose to encourage his daughter to study Peking Opera in depth, and Li Weikang was only 6 years old this year.
In this way, Li Weikang began her Peking Opera life.
After years of study, 12-year-old Li Weikang has stepped onto the stage of his dreams. Of course, her first performance on stage was a great success with her sweet voice and superb interpretation skills, and she was deeply loved by the audience.
After that, Li Weikang was admitted to one of the top art troupes in the country, and was able to continue her studies and learn the art of Peking Opera, which she loved.
When she was studying at the China Academy of Drama, Li Weikang was also a well-known figure in the school, and the classmates around her liked her very much, and they also liked her performance, and she was sought after by many classmates.
However, there are unforeseen storms and rains, and that special period has come like this!
Li Weikang's parents were also swept up in that wave and sent to work on the farm, and the young Li Weikang was also affected. From a goddess who is highly sought after and watched by everyone at school, she has become an existence that everyone shouts at.
When Li Weikang performed on stage again, she was greeted not by flowers and applause, but by endless spitting and insults, and even punching and kicking her.
In such a situation of falling from heaven to hell, how could the young Li Weikang accept it, and the young heart was seriously traumatized.
Gradually, Li Weikang became dislike to communicate with others, and was even afraid of meeting acquaintances, although she still loved Peking Opera in her heart, but her heart was full of fear for performing on stage.
Even so, the classmates around her still did not let Li Weikang go. It has even intensified, and all kinds of behaviors such as criticism, isolation, and insults have intensified.
However, there was a classmate who did not follow the crowd to belittle and spurn Li Weikang. Perhaps it is in response to a sentence that everyone often says nowadays, "One day, my heroes will step on colorful auspicious clouds to save me".
Li Weikang's "hero of the world" appeared, and his appearance made Li Weikang, who was in a desperate situation, gradually see a glimmer of hope for life.
Heroes of the world appear
The one who "stepped on the colorful auspicious clouds" to save Li Weikang was her husband, Geng Qichang.
In the midst of the invective around them, a distinctive voice caught everyone's attention.
"I don't think Li Weikang is such a person, I believe in her." The person who said this was Geng Qichang, Li Weikang's classmate.
Speaking of Geng Qichang, he is also a Peking Opera actor, but compared to Li Weikang's attention, Geng Qichang at this time looks mediocre, including some of the roles he played are also some irrelevant supporting roles.
Li Weikang's first impression of him was that he was a classmate, and he had just heard of the name, but he didn't expect that at this moment when he was spurned by everyone, it turned out to be such a classmate who usually didn't have much intersection and even a little stranger to stand up and support himself, which made Li Weikang gradually interested in Geng Qichang.
In a later interview program, Geng Qichang recalled the scene at that time and said: According to my observation, Li Weikang's classmate is not what they said at all, they are purely slandering and pouring dirty water on Li Weikang.
Because Li Weikang is impeccable in school, whether in study or life, whether it is ability or character, there are no problems at all, it is purely false.
But Geng Qichang was just a student at that time, and he was soft-spoken, and his statement did not change the opinion of the classmates around him about Li Weikang.
In this way, not only did Li Weikang's views of his classmates not change, but Geng Qichang also fell into this turmoil, because of Geng Qichang's remarks, the classmates around him thought that they must be in a group, and they were not good people. Geng Qichang also suffered the same "treatment" as Li Weikang.
However, Geng Qichang's sense of responsibility as a man is reflected at this time, and he himself is bullied, so it doesn't matter.
But when Li Weikang was bullied, it didn't work, he always rushed forward and used his not generous body to firmly protect Li Weikang, so that Li Weikang would not suffer from flesh and skin.
In this way, two young people in the whirlpool gradually developed love and walked together.
Start an AA marriage
Not long after Li Weikang and Geng Qichang fell in love, Li Weikang's family encountered a turning point and quickly resumed their previous happy life.
With the encouragement of her family and her lover, Li Weikang slowly mustered up the courage to re-enter the Peking Opera stage she loved.
Although Li Weikang has not performed on stage for many years at this time, the Peking Opera skills she learned are indeed very solid, and once she appeared on stage, she showed her solid skills and unique voice, which was welcomed by the public.
Later, he starred in many well-received Peking Opera repertoire such as "Butterfly Loves Flowers", "Farewell My Concubine", "Li Qingzhao", and Li Weikang also became a well-known Peking Opera performance artist with this excellent singing skills.
But such a goddess artist who shines in the hearts of the audience is indeed extremely unconfident in her marriage.
After 9 years of long-distance love, Li Weikang and Geng Qichang finally entered the palace of marriage.
But life after marriage is not as good as Geng Qichang imagined. In particular, Li Weikang took the initiative to propose the "AA system". Geng Qichang was very puzzled by this, this is still like a husband and wife, everything has to be divided so clearly.
Even if Geng Qichang was dissatisfied with this, Li Weikang did not change his mind, and still insisted on the AA system, but at this time, Li Weikang also understood her husband's intentions. She also explained to her husband why she had to insist on the AA system.
Unexpectedly, it was the "school violence" he suffered back then that left a psychological shadow on Li Weikang.
From a high-profile star, he fell to the bottom and became the object of everyone's spurning, coupled with the fact that his family was also betrayed and disliked by others during that period, which made Li Weikang extremely inferior to his bones.
Li Weikang was deeply afraid that he and his family would drag Geng Qichang down, so he resolutely implemented the AA system.
In the end, Geng Qichang, who couldn't resist his daughter-in-law, could only accept such a reality.
The AA system demanded by Li Weikang is that every month the husband and wife take out an equal part of the money from their respective salaries as a family fund to maintain the family's daily expenses, and the rest of the money can be spent as much as they want.
Li Weikang's AA system is so meticulous that outsiders can't imagine it, even 1 egg is eaten in points, and no one suffers or takes advantage.
Such a rule, which seems incomprehensible to outsiders, has existed in the marriage of Li Weikang and Geng Qichang for 49 years, and if nothing else, it will continue to exist.
But as we all know, there are very few people in society who can juggle their careers and families at the same time.
After Li Weikang's daughter was born, Li Weikang at this time was under the name of "No. 1 Tsing Yi", and he was busy with performances every day, and he had no time to take care of his family and children.
At this time, Geng Qichang stood up and took the initiative to take care of his family and children, which made Li Weikang feel at ease to continue to be active in the field of Peking Opera that he loved deeply, and finally became a famous Peking Opera performance artist.
It can be said that Li Weikang's "military merit medal" has half of Geng Qichang's.
Li Weikang, who has achieved fame, has not ignored her husband's efforts for so many years, and after her career reached the height of her expectations, she chose to return to the family and shift her focus to the family and family.
Li Weikang's daughter, under the careful guidance of the two, was also successfully admitted to a prestigious school and became a Kochi talent.
Today's Li Weikang has faded out of people's field of vision and concentrated on his happy life, but the vivid and vivid images he once starred in will always be remembered.
In fact, each couple has their own unique way of getting along, there is no so-called uniformity, some just have their own merits.
The AA system may be suitable for Mr. and Mrs. Li Weikang, but it may not be suitable for everyone, this is the way of life that makes you feel happy is your own happiness.
