In that magnificent journey of life, it was full of twists and turns and changes, but despite this, it still could not hide the unique light exuded by this outstanding artist Yan Su.
However, fate seemed to taunt him, and in 2016, this extraordinary musical giant unfortunately passed away from us, however, unexpectedly, just seven years after his death, a fierce dispute broke out within his family.
Yan Su's widow, Ms. Li Wenhui, although she is already an 86-year-old elder, had to endure the pain in her heart and resolutely sued her biological son Yan Yu in court.
When the reporters dug deeper, they finally revealed the truth behind this family dispute. It turned out that in Yan Su's will before his death, he divided his estate into two main parts: one part of which was inherited by Ms. Li Wenhui, and the other part was shared by his children.
Such an arrangement should have been fair and reasonable, however, it caused Yan Yu's strong dissatisfaction. Yan Yu stubbornly believed that as the only son, he should enjoy his father's entire inheritance alone.
Ms. Li Wenhui, on the other hand, hopes to follow Yan Su's last wish and distribute the estate fairly among her two children.
It is precisely because of these two completely different viewpoints that the contradictions between them are deepening and escalating day by day.
In order to determine the ownership of copyright, the Music Copyright Society required Yan Su's relatives to sign the relevant agreement. Ms. Li Wenhui and her daughter Yan Ru quickly completed the signing process, but Yan Yu always resolutely refused to sign, resulting in these lucrative copyright gains being frozen in the hands of the association and unable to be distributed normally.
At the age of 86, Ms. Li Wenhui is physically and mentally exhausted and can no longer bear this stalemate. So, she finally made up her mind to file a lawsuit against her biological son, hoping to resolve the inheritance dispute that had plagued her for many years through legal means.
This high-profile family lawsuit not only caused an uproar in the entertainment industry, but public opinion also accused Yan Yu of his greedy behavior. Many people have even questioned whether Ms. Li Wenhui attaches too much importance to monetary interests.
Under the strong attention and pressure from all walks of life, this dispute finally ushered in an unexpected ending in the courtroom.
Mr. Yan Su's romantic encounter with his wife, Li Wenhui, began in 1961. At that time, although Mr. Yan Su was nearly thirty years old, he was still an unknown screenwriter of the art troupe, his appearance was not outstanding, and his clothes were simple and unpretentious, giving people a simple and intimate feeling.
Despite this, he remained single, and his comrades-in-arms began to look for a suitable partner for him. At this critical moment, Miss Li Wenhui, with her unique taste and elegant temperament, broke into Mr. Yan Su's life.
Ms. Li Wenhui was born into a prestigious military family, and her elegant temperament and beautiful appearance immediately attracted the attention of Mr. Yan Su.
However, this excellent woman did not have much affection for Mr. Yan Su at first, and she frankly stated in a letter to her uncle Lin Ye that it was "really regrettable". Fortunately, under the patient persuasion of Mr. Yan Su's close friend Lin Ye, Ms. Li Wenhui gradually changed her opinion of Mr. Yan Su.
Mr. Yan Su also seized this rare opportunity and frequently sent affectionate love letters to Ms. Li Wenhui, revealing a profound view of love and rich life insights between the lines.
This sincere and touching expression quickly touched Ms. Li Wenhui's heart. So, in 1961, the couple finally became married. After marriage, Mr. Yan Su devoted himself wholeheartedly to his creative career, while Ms. Li Wenhui dutifully served her in-laws and took care of all the trivial matters of the family.
During the ensuing period of social upheaval, Mr. Yan Su was unfortunately wrongly classified as a "gangster" and fell into a difficult life situation for a time, and Ms. Li Wenhui was implicated.
However, this loyal wife has always been firmly by Mr. Yan Su's side, and has spent countless stormy days with him.
During those arduous years, Mr. Yan Su's friend Lin Ye also actively reached out to help them through many difficulties. Finally, although the stormy suffering has passed, the relationship between Yan Su and his wife has become deeper because of this upheaval.
In particular, in the early 1980s, Ms. Li Wenhui took care of Mr. Yan Su on his hospital bed, and felt his indomitable creative spirit more deeply.
When the children and grandchildren were all adults, Yan Su and his wife Fang Ming finally ushered in a quiet and peaceful old age. At this moment, they quietly watched, affectionately witnessing the brilliant achievements of the younger generations in their respective careers, and the quality of life gradually improved, such a scene could not help but intoxicate people, and the joy was indescribable.
This love story, which has been baptized by wind and rain, but has always been tenacious, finally ushered in a warm and happy ending at this moment.
Mr. Yan Su was born into an ordinary family in Hebei, China, and although his family was not well-off, his parents always upheld an open and inclusive attitude, and encouraged him to study diligently and work hard from an early age.
Even in the war-torn times, Yan Su's parents were steadfast in their support for a good education, knowing that the power of knowledge was endless. It was this deep love that deeply touched the young Yan Su and made him deeply understand the importance of learning, so he studied harder and cherished every opportunity to seek knowledge.
After graduating from high school, Yan Su stepped into the gate of Chongqing University with enthusiasm, majoring in literature. During his time at the school, he actively participated in the school's drama club, devoted himself to stage performances, and also began to try to write plays, laying a solid foundation for his future career in drama creation.
In 1955, Yan Su was transferred to work in the Air Force Art Troupe. There, he went deep into the barracks, took an active part in the training and labor of officers and men, and won the admiration and affection of the vast number of soldiers with his rigorous and serious attitude.
After the end of the war, Yan Su was deeply inspired by his creative inspiration, and in just a short time, he composed the well-known "I Love the Blue Sky of the Motherland", which caused a huge repercussion inside and outside the barracks for a while.
Since then, Yan Su has frequently created excellent works depicting life in the military camp, and has continuously consolidated his important position in the field of cultural creativity. Despite the difficulties encountered in the creative process, he never gave up easily, and with his unyielding perseverance and outstanding wisdom, he finally succeeded in achieving a self-breakthrough.
Mr. Yan Su has grown from a lover of literature to a professional actor and playwright, and his achievements are remarkable and impressive.
Mr. Yan Su's fiery love for life, as well as his indomitable and diligent spiritual strength for artistic creation, made him finally a shining representative in the annals of music history.
Although he had gone through the difficult years of war and his life was upside down, he always had the persistent passion for literary creation and relied on his unwavering perseverance to write his own legendary life chapter!
This passionate, optimistic, and courageous attitude towards life is a model for future generations to learn!
During his lifetime, Yan Su's extraordinary creative talent has given birth to countless acclaimed and deeply rooted works, many of which have become timeless classics.
The lucrative copyright income brought by these works is undoubtedly the most precious legacy that Mr. Yan Su left to his family.
According to Mr. Yan Su's last wishes, these estates should be fairly and reasonably distributed to his beloved wife, Ms. Li Wenhui, and their two children.
In accordance with this arrangement, after Mr. Yan Su's death, the Music Copyright Society urged Mr. Yan Su's family to sign the relevant agreement to clarify the ownership of the copyright. Ms. Li Wenhui and her daughter Yan Ru quickly completed the signing process, but Yan Yu always resolutely refused to sign.
The reason why Yan Yu is so stubborn and insists on his own views is rooted in his personal concept. As an only son, Yan Yu was convinced that his father's entire estate should be inherited by him alone, rather than divided equally between the two children.
This is a far cry from the principle of fair distribution that Ms. Li Wenhui expects.
Ms. Li Wenhui took the initiative to communicate with Yan Yu on several occasions and tried to persuade him to change his mind, but ultimately failed. In order to firmly grasp this rich inheritance, Yan Yu repeatedly and resolutely refused to sign the agreement, resulting in these copyright proceeds being frozen in the hands of the association and unable to be distributed as scheduled.
Time is like an arrow, and three cold and summer have passed in a blink of an eye. At the age of 86, Ms. Li Wenhui is physically and mentally exhausted and cannot bear this stalemate. In the end, she made up her mind to file a lawsuit against her biological son, hoping to use legal means to resolve the inheritance dispute that had plagued her for many years.
This high-profile lawsuit detonated the entire entertainment industry with its shocking power, and even set off a frenzy of condemnation of Yan Yu's greedy behavior from all walks of life! Under heavy pressure, Yan Yu finally realized his absurdity, and then reached a settlement agreement with his loving mother Li Wenhui in the solemn courtroom, and accepted a reasonable and legal inheritance distribution plan.
The deep-seated reason why Yan Yu behaved so stubbornly and unusually monopolized all the inheritance of his father Yan Su can be traced back to his personal family upbringing.
Yan Yu was born in an ordinary and ordinary family environment, and has deeply experienced the troubles and helplessness caused by poverty since he was a child. This experience has always filled him with uneasiness and a desperate desire for the opportunity to change the status quo of his life.
When he learned that his father, Yan Su, had left a huge inheritance, Yan Yu instinctively saw it as a crucial opportunity to escape poverty and move towards a comfortable life. In his heart, this legacy is like a life-saving straw, which has become his only hope for a turnaround.
That's why he is so adamant about taking possession of the entire inheritance alone, unwilling to share it with his sisters.
In addition, Yan Yu did not really understand and feel the good intentions of his parents. He was unable to deeply appreciate his father Yan Su's firm belief in pursuing artistic creation throughout his life, nor did he feel the meticulous care and affection of his mother Li Wenhui for her husband.
In Yan Yu's opinion, none of this is as real and important as the money in his hand.
In the long years, Yan Yu has never been able to break free from the haze of family poverty. This state of mind also influenced his attitude towards inheritance, causing him to place too much emphasis on material possessions and ignore the preciousness of family affection.
It was not until finally in court, under the weight of many social pressures, that he suddenly realized that he chose to follow his father's will and reach a reconciliation with his mother.
This symbolizes the end of this family dispute that has lasted for many years.
However, this does not mean that the root cause of this dispute has been completely eliminated. Yan Su's soul must not want to see his children still go down the path of courtroom confrontation after he left.
This family lawsuit undoubtedly sends a warning to the whole society, reminding us that the most valuable wealth between relatives is not monetary wealth, but the deep emotional bond.
