On the exciting National Day in 1998, Jiang Kun, who was 72 years old, still adhered to the glorious stage of cross talk art, and he followed the footsteps of the China Radio Rap Troupe with affection to a kind welfare home, offering fatherly care and condolences to the orphans there.
Jiang Kun, what an outstanding master of cross talk, even though the years are ruthless, his ardent love for the art of cross talk has always been consistent, like youthful blood.
At the end of the show, each artist in the group took on a special and sacred mission - to adopt an orphan and accompany them through an unforgettable family time. As the head of the group, Jiang Kun, the moment he stepped into the welfare home, his eyes were deeply attracted by a pair of eyes full of expectation.
It was a 6-year-old boy Xie Tan, who lost the love of his parents since he was a child and spent a long childhood alone.
Xie Tan's introverted personality didn't attract too much attention, and he always seemed to be forgotten in the corner by the world. However, Jiang Kun had a unique vision, he looked at Xie Tan's eyes that were shining with hope, and was deeply moved.
Jiang Kun seemed to see the shadow of his youth, and his innocent and kind original intention made him feel endless pity.
"I'm going to bring this child home!" Jiang Kun silently made up his mind in his heart. At that time, in addition to himself, there was also an aunt who was in charge of housework. However, Jiang Kun didn't care, he just wanted to give this child a complete home and give him endless warmth.
So, Jiang Kun took Xie Tan back to his home. In order to make Xie Tan feel the warmth of home, Jiang Kun did his best - he personally cooked food for Xie Tan, washed clothes, took a bath with Xie Tan, and even took him to the amusement park to play.
Although Jiang Kun had never done these trivial housework, he was happy to do it and used all his strength to take care of this child.
After only a few days of getting along, Xie Tan regarded Jiang Kun as the dearest father in his heart.
When he saw Xie Tan's tearful appearance, Jiang Kun's heart was also shrouded in an indescribable sadness. He knew that it would not be easy to convince his wife, Li Jingmin, to agree to adopt Xie Tan, because Li Jingmin was studying with their daughter Jiang Shan in distant Australia.
However, Jiang Kun firmly decided that no matter what the cost, he would let this child stay by his side forever.
So, the next day, Jiang Kun made an international long-distance call to Australia without hesitation, and solemnly conveyed this important decision to his wife Li Jingmin. In the face of his wife's resolute opposition, Jiang Kun chose to adopt Xie Tan without hesitation and gave him a new name - "Jiang He".
The name "Jiang River" contains a profound meaning, which means that this child will never stop flowing in the ocean of life like a babbling river.
At the beginning, when Jiang Kun revealed her intention to adopt to his wife Li Jingmin, who was far away in Australia, although Li Jingmin understood and respected her husband's good deeds, she also clearly expressed her concerns.
As a wise woman, Li Jingmin knows that the two of them are no longer young, and raising such a young child is undoubtedly a huge challenge for them.
More importantly, at that time, their daughter Jiang Shan was studying in a foreign country and urgently needed the love and support of her parents. It is not easy for Li Jingmin to take care of her family in Australia alone, and if she adds another immature child, she really can't bear such pressure.
However, Jiang Kun has a fiery heart and is determined to accept this child who has lost the love of his parents since he was a child. He firmly believes that he will be able to provide Xie Tan with a home full of warmth and happiness.
Faced with his wife's doubts, Jiang Kun could only put the matter aside for the time being, waiting for his wife's understanding and support with all his attention.
However, just a few days of getting along allowed Xie Tan to sow a seed of deep love in Jiang Kun's heart. This child's well-behaved, sensible, innocent and kind all deeply touched Jiang Kun's heart.
Seeing that the child was about to leave, Jiang Kun's heart was full of endless reluctance, and he could only make up his mind to communicate deeply with his wife again.
On the day after the child's departure, Jiang Kun did not hesitate to make an international call in Australia, and frankly explained his decision and the reasons behind it to his wife.
At first, Li Jingmin's attitude was still as resolute as ever, but Jiang Kun gradually shook his wife's position with unwavering faith.
After repeated communication and negotiation, Jiang Kun finally succeeded in convincing his wife, but Li Jingmin still had doubts. In order to dispel all his wife's worries, Jiang Kun proposed that Li Jingmin personally go to the welfare home to get an in-depth understanding of the child's true condition.
The moment he stepped into the welfare home, Li Jingmin frankly and seriously explained to the dean his confusion and doubts about adopting Jiang He. However, the dean did not immediately adopt a didactic approach to persuasion, but described in detail the details of Jiang He's life and behavior during his time in the welfare home.
The dean said earnestly: "In the six years that we have spent in our welfare home, Jiang He has always been a child with a relatively introverted personality and few words, and rarely takes the initiative to establish close contact with others.
However, since Mr. Jiang Kun brought him home, Jiang He seems to have a new look, and he is eager to integrate into this new family environment, which is why he is so warm and attentive to you."
"Please give this kid a chance, too! he's an absolutely brilliant kid!" said the dean sincerely.
These words deeply touched Li Jingmin's heart, and made her realize that she had a certain degree of misunderstanding and prejudice against Jiang He before. Back at home, Li Jingmin began to take the initiative to accept Jiang He, and as time went on, she gradually discovered that, as the dean said, the child was of good character, kind and lovely.
Since then, the family has lived a happy and contented life.
Jiang Kun has shown extraordinary talent and extreme love for the art of cross talk since he was a child, which makes his parents very happy. In that era of material scarcity, despite the difficult living conditions, Jiang Kun's parents still did not hesitate to spend all the family's savings, looking for the most prestigious master in the cross talk industry at that time, hoping that their son would be fortunate to be guided and taught by the master.
After a lot of hardships, Jiang Kun was finally fortunate to worship the two most respected masters in the cross talk industry at that time, Hou Baolin and Ma Ji. Hou Baolin and Ma Ji were known as leaders in the cross talk industry at that time, just like Li Bai and Du Fu in the literary world, enjoying a high reputation and status.
Being able to become a disciple of the two masters and receive the true teachings is undoubtedly a great blessing in the life of the young Jiang Kun.
Under the careful teaching of the two teachers, Jiang Kun's cross talk skills have become increasingly exquisite, and he has gradually opened his own brilliant life stage. In those years, Jiang Kun shuttled through various large and small performance venues, no matter on or off the stage, day and night, cold and hot, he was always conscientious and meticulous.
In his works, his interpretation of every line, as well as his skillful use of every look, and even the subtle control of every subtle movement, must reach the ultimate perfection.
It is precisely because of Jiang Kun's extreme love and persistent pursuit of cross talk art that he quickly won high praise from his peers and the audience.
When his career was booming, he met the love of his life - Li Jingmin. At that time, Li Jingmin was a beautiful woman with a moving singing voice and full of vitality.
At a special moment, they met unexpectedly on a green train, and since then, they have been inseparable ever since, and just one year after the pure and passionate love moment bloomed, they decided to spend the rest of their lives together without hesitation.
In that era of scarcity of materials, they were able to choose to marry so firmly, which is enough to prove how hot and innocent the love between them is. Soon after marriage, the crystallization of their love - daughter Jiang Shan was born.
Jiang Shan seems to have inherited her parents' outstanding artistic talent, and has shown extraordinary artistic talent since she was a child.
Her singing voice is touching, and her piano playing skills have reached the professional level. For Jiang Kun, an artistic family, the outstanding talent of his daughter is undoubtedly a great honor for the family.
In order to comprehensively improve their daughter's artistic accomplishment, Jiang Kun and Li Jingmin have made all their efforts.
Under Jiang Kun's careful planning, Jiang Shan soon emerged and became the focus of attention of the people of the whole country. In 1992, Jiang Shan, who was only 11 years old, appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, wearing a gorgeous cheongsam, holding delicate flowers, and presenting the classic song of blessing tomorrow to the national audience with a pure and sweet voice.
The applause at the scene was thunderous, and people cheered for Jiang Shan, who had achieved such brilliant achievements at a young age. Since then, Jiang Shan's name has spread all over the streets, and various invitations to perform have come one after another.
As parents, Jiang Kun and his wife are naturally extremely proud of their daughter.
Although Jiang Shan has won numerous accolades on the art stage, she has not been able to resist the temptation of fame and fortune when she is too young. With the release of photo photos and the opportunity to perform on stage again and again, vanity and impetuousness gradually grew in Jiang Shan's heart.
As an immature teenager, Jiang Shan was surrounded by phantoms around her, and gradually forgot her innocent dreams and persistence. In their place, there is a mask of hypocrisy, and an endless competition for fame and fortune.
In the face of all this, Jiang Kun had mixed feelings in his heart, and he knew that he must take immediate action to create a new life world for his beloved daughter, away from all ethereal illusions.
After careful consideration, Jiang Kun quickly contacted a prestigious university in Australia, and decided to let Jiang Shan set foot on that land, complete her studies, and find her true self. At first, Jiang Shan was full of resistance to this.
In her eyes, singing and piano, stage and bright lights are the most important pursuits in her life, however, Jiang Shan always respected and understood her parents' decision, and finally the family decided to move to distant Australia.
Newly arrived in a foreign country, Jiang Shan faced unprecedented challenges. She grew up under the protection of her parents and never lived alone. In Australia, she was overwhelmed with both her studies and her daily life.
Except for confiding in her distant parents on the phone, Jiang Shan seems to have nothing to do.
Seeing their daughter's helpless situation, Jiang Kun and his wife were heartbroken. Soon after, they made a decisive decision - to send Li Jingmin to Australia to accompany and support their daughter's life and study with all their might.
Under the careful care of her parents, Jiang Shan gradually got rid of the shadows and began to reflect on her past behavior. She deeply realized that excessive pursuit of fame and fortune would only cause her to lose her way and deviate from her original intention.
Therefore, Jiang Shan has strengthened her determination to start anew in a foreign country and meet the challenges of study and life with a new look.
Time flies, and years pass in the blink of an eye. Jiang Shan not only successfully completed her studies, but also regained her innocence in her heart. When she stepped into the house again, the glitzy mannerism of the past had disappeared, replaced by a frank and confident calmness.
Seeing their daughter's youthful and energetic demeanor, Jiang Kun and Li Jingmin couldn't help but burst into tears, they knew that the accumulation of all this would surely become a valuable asset for Jiang Shan on the road of life in the future.
