Preface
Life is short, how precious is love?
When you had it, did you take care of it with all your heart?
When you lose, do you regret not giving more?
Let's walk into the love world of Wen Xingyu and Zhang Kejing, and feel the moving story of their mutual affection and sharing weal and woe.
Originated Drama Theater
In 1964, Wen Xingyu graduated from the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama, and was assigned to work at the Central Experimental Theater with a vision for the future.
God did not fulfill people's wishes, he did not get his wish to play the male lead or male number two, but turned to serve as a behind-the-scenes director.
It was in this theater that he met the most important woman in his life - Zhang Kejing.
At that time, Zhang Kejing had faded away from the heroic posture of the diving team, but it was still difficult to hide her beauty and temperament.
As fate would have it, Wen Xingyu was arranged to take care of this newcomer, but he had an indescribable and inexplicable throbbing.
Two young hearts draw closer in the theater, starting a legend that spans half a century.
When love sprouts
In getting along, Wen Xingyu was attracted by Zhang Kejing's simple and kind temperament, she was not as pretentious as other girls.
Zhang Kejing was impressed by Wen Xingyu's talent and humor.
In their spare time, the two often walk and chat, talking about their ideals and pursuits.
Unconsciously, the seeds of love take root in the heart.
Although Wen Xingyu is six years older than Zhang Kejing, in the face of sincere love, what is age?
In 1967, at the age of 26, he proposed to her at the age of 20, and the young girl nodded shyly in agreement.
With the blessing of relatives and friends, they walked into the palace of marriage hand in hand and began to be inseparable in the true sense of each other.
The sweetness of firewood, rice, oil and salt
Although the days after marriage are poor, they are full of sweetness.
Wen Xingyu can be said to be devoted to his wife, meticulous and meticulous, to build a warm little home with his own hands, and those wooden furniture condensed his hard work.
He cooks delicious meals for his wife in different ways, fills his wife's stomach with delicious food, and also fills each other's hearts.
When Zhang Kejing gave birth to a child, Wen Xingyu became a considerate "superman daddy".
Not only does he cook himself, but he also takes care of his wife's diet and daily life, setting pillows for her while she is breastfeeding and preparing hot water for her when she washes her feet.
This man interprets "love" in the most simple and moving way.
Under the careful care of her husband, Zhang Kejing quickly regained her health and vitality and regained her joy.
Career: A turning point in life
Although he is an excellent director, Wen Xingyu has always hidden a dream of being an actor deep in his heart.
In 1993, a phone call from director Yingda opened a new page in his life.
At that time, Yingda was preparing to shoot the sitcom "I Love My Home", and he insisted that Wen Xingyu play the role of "Fu Ming" in the play.
At first, Wen Xingyu was skeptical about whether he could handle the role.
After all, he hasn't acted for too many years.
However, his wife Zhang Kejing gave him the greatest support and encouragement.
With the unwavering support of his wife, Moon Heung-woo decided to take the brave step and take on a new challenge.
Who would have thought that a try to become famous.
After the broadcast of "I Love My Home", it quickly captured the hearts of the audience with its humorous plot and the superb acting skills of the actors.
"Fu Ming" played by Wen Xingyu is even more well-known and has become a classic image in the hearts of a generation.
Then, as if the key to success was opened, various characters came one after another.
From "Western Police" to "Love Malatang", from "Never Look Away" to "The Girl Who Loves to Laugh", Wen Xingyu used his superb acting skills and dedicated attitude to interpret one vivid role after another, and became a veritable powerful actor in the eyes of the audience.
The rapid development of his career has given Wen Xingyu a taste of success, and it has also made his and his wife's lives more and more comfortable.
However, no one thought that just when the career was in full swing, a sudden disaster quietly hit this happy family.
Crisis: The invasion of disease
2006 should have been a happy year for Wen Xingyu and Zhang Kejing.
However, in the same year, Moon Heung-woo was diagnosed with lung cancer.
When the doctor announced the bad news, Zhang Kejing felt that the sky was about to fall.
It turned out that years of smoking addiction had planted fatal seeds in Wen Xingyu's lungs.
Zhang Kejing regretted that she had repeatedly persuaded her husband to quit smoking, but she had never been able to convince him.
Now, when the disease does strike, it's too late.
In the face of the invasion of the disease, the once high-spirited Wen Xingyu seemed so fragile and helpless.
Zhang Kejing saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.
As a wife, she resolutely shouldered the heavy responsibility of taking care of her husband.
For nine months, she stood guard at her husband's hospital bed, fighting the disease in her own way.
She tried to cook delicious meals for her husband and encouraged him to stick with the treatment.
However, despite the best efforts of the doctors, Wen Xingyu's condition deteriorated.
Seeing that her once tall and upright husband was getting thinner and thinner, Zhang Kejing's heart was like a knife.
In front of the hospital bed, the couple hugged and told each other about their love countless times, as if they wanted to pour out all the love words of their life.
Farewell: The pain of life and death
July 30, 2007, this day became the saddest day of Zhang Kejing's life.
On this day, 66-year-old Wen Xingyu left this world forever, leaving his beloved stage and his beloved wife.
When her husband swallowed his last breath in his arms, Zhang Kejing's heart seemed to go with it.
At her husband's funeral, Zhang Kejing was so grief-stricken that she couldn't cry.
The heart-rending cry made everyone present cry in tears.
In order to commemorate this unforgettable love, Zhang Kejing personally engraved the words "Youth is gone, love forever" on her husband's tombstone.
These eight words are not only a promise to her deceased lover, but also a portrayal of the rest of her life.
Since then, Zhang Kejing's life has only left endless thoughts and memories.
The man who once accompanied him for half his life remained in his memories forever and could no longer be with him.
Missing: Memories are the most beautiful love letters in the years
lost his beloved Zhang Kejing, and the whole person became gloomy.
The former diving athlete no longer has the vitality and vigor of the past.
She often sat alone, her eyes full of confusion and sadness.
Every year on the Qingming Festival and her husband's death day, she will come to her husband's tomb on time and offer a bouquet of bright red roses.
The red rose symbolizes the fiery love they once had.
Tears have become sparse with the passage of time, but thoughts have always stayed in the softest place in the bottom of my heart.
Zhang Kejing often thinks in his heart, if he persists a little longer, will he be able to persuade his husband to quit smoking?
If my husband could listen to him, would he still be able to live in this world today?
The assumptions over and over again, the regrets again and again, have turned into eternal pain in my heart with the passage of time.
Today, the works left by Wen Xingyu have become Zhang Kejing's greatest consolation.
In the dead of night, she would dig out those treasured videotapes and watch them over and over again.
On the screen, the figure of her husband is still vivid, as if he has never left.
At that moment, the years seemed to go backwards, time seemed to stand still, and Wen Xingyu was still by her side, smiling and encouraging her.
Zhang Kejing knows that although life has an end, love can transcend life and death and stay in his heart forever.
