At the age of 84, Mr. Li Shuangjiang has entered the late autumn of his life, with gray hair fluttering in the wind, his eyes are slightly tired, his body is light, and his waist is slightly bent.
However, the once famous singer is still active on the streets, earning a small income for his hard work.
When Li Shuangjiang staggered onto the makeshift stage on the street, it always immediately attracted a large number of onlookers. On the other hand, there are many people who sneer at this and insult the old artist's current situation, thinking that he deserves such humiliation.
However, what is less known is that Li Shuangjiang was born into an extremely poor family. He has shown extraordinary musical talent since he was a child, and with his perseverance and exquisite musical skills, he was successfully admitted to the Central Conservatory of Music, a top university in China, for in-depth study, and then gradually grew into a widely acclaimed national actor, and was hired as a distinguished professor by the School of Music of Henan Polytechnic University, which can be called a generation of legendary superstars.
However, Li Shuangjiang has achieved brilliant achievements in his career, but his personal life is full of twists and turns. In his early years, his wife left him, and their only child rarely kept in touch with him.
Today, Li Shuangjiang is alone, and can only rely on these commercial performances to barely make a living and spend the rest of his life.
Back at the peak of Li Shuangjiang's career, he tied the knot at the age of 57 with a student who was 30 years younger than him. This love story, which spans 30 years, has aroused widespread attention from all walks of life, and people have speculated whether their marriage will last long.
Unexpectedly, despite the large age gap between the two, Mengge brought their proud only son Li Tianyi to Li Shuangjiang soon after marriage.
Since then, Li Shuangjiang has been very fond of this old son, and regards him as a treasure.
Li Tianyi has been the focus of his family since he was a child, and his parents' meticulous love for him makes him win the favor of his parents in every word and deed at home, and all his behaviors have been tolerated by his parents.
Therefore, he obeyed his parents and always maintained a well-behaved and sensible image, which can be called a "good child" in the true sense.
However, once he walked out of the house, Li Tianyi would not hesitate to tear off the mask of a good child and transform into a lawless little bully. At school, he frequently had conflicts with his classmates and had fights, doing everything and doing all kinds of evil.
Sometimes he takes the initiative to provoke his classmates, and sometimes he bullies others as a winner.
However, the stubborn Li Shuangjiang turned a deaf ear to his friend's advice and accused Yang Hongji of meddling in his affairs and violating his dignity as a parent.
Since then, there has been a deep rift in the friendship between the two that can never be repaired.
As time passed, Li Tianyi's spoiled personality intensified, and he began to act arbitrarily and make many jaw-dropping moves.
Li Tianyi's over-spoiled personality became more and more serious, and finally at the age of 17, he was sentenced to ten years in prison on suspicion of raping a young girl. In the face of the heinous crime committed by his son, Li Shuangjiang, as a father, instead of giving due punishment, ran around to exonerate him and tried to evade the punishment of the law.
In an interview with the media, Li Shuangjiang openly declared that his son's behavior was just "a game of taking turns to have sex", and there was no need to exaggerate it.
His wife Mengge even reversed right and wrong, maliciously slandered the victim as voluntary, and even took the initiative to seduce Li Tianyi.
In order to protect his son's rights and interests in front of the law, Li Shuangjiang did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money to try to clear his son's guilt through illegal means. For example, they have tried to bribe relevant staff members to tamper with Li Tianyi's age information and falsely claim that he is underage, so as to evade severe punishment under the law.
This approach can be described as unscrupulous and unique. When these absurd remarks were revealed, they immediately caused an uproar on the Internet, and Li Shuangjiang's well-known reputation in the art world inevitably suffered a heavy blow.
This once glamorous and proud music superstar, but now he does not hesitate to use any possible means in order to let his son continue the wealth and glory of their family and gain a position of power.
This kind of behavior of giving up self-restraint and self-regulation for the sake of personal selfish desires is undoubtedly destroying the glorious image that he has carefully created for decades in the eyes of outsiders.
However, the law was impartial after all, and the court conducted an in-depth and meticulous trial of the case on the basis of solid evidence. As a result, Li Tianyi was sentenced to 10 years in prison on suspicion of rape.
In the face of such a harsh verdict, Li Shuangjiang's face was full of frustration and loss.
Some people commented that this was the inevitable result of Li Shuangjiang's too much doting on his son, and it was a heavy price he paid.
As a result, Li Tian began a long ten-year prison sentence. During this period, whenever Li Shuangjiang mentioned his son, his face always showed deep guilt and self-blame.
Ten years later, when his son finally walked out of prison, Li Shuangjiang's family did their best to hold a grand celebration for his son to show their joy at regaining his freedom.
Not only did he personally host a banquet and prepare delicious meals, but he also invited saxophonists to play live, adding to the joyful atmosphere of this special day.
The son who was imprisoned for rape has now become a topic of conversation after dinner, which is really laughable.
And Li Shuangjiang himself seems to have completely ignored the criticism and accusations from the outside world, and showed endless tolerance and love for his son.
What's even more striking is that Li Shuangjiang, as a retired soldier, can receive a pension of up to 30,000 yuan per month, which is really a jaw-dropping figure!
For the vast majority of ordinary people, an income of 50,000 yuan a month is enough to meet basic living needs, and they can even live a fairly comfortable life.
However, even though Li Shuangjiang, who is in his eighties, has such a large pension, he is still busy every day, making money from street performing, which is really puzzling.
Some attentive netizens joked: "Could it be that Li Shuangjiang is planning for his son Li Tianyi's future life? After all, he has just been released from prison and needs to readapt to society."
As expected, news soon came out that soon after Li Tianyi was released from prison, Li Shuangjiang's wife Mengge took her son overseas and settled in the United States.
In order to ensure that Li Tianyi's new life in the United States of America was not disturbed, Ms. Mengge even carefully changed her son's name, and since then, Li Tianyi's name has been changed to "Li Guanfeng".
According to the official, perhaps in the near future, Mr. Li Shuangjiang will also embark on a journey to reunite with his wife and children, and the family of three will start a new chapter of life in a foreign country.
Observing these signs, it is not difficult for us to find that Li Shuangjiang and his wife have been actively engaged in commercial performance activities in recent years, and the wealth obtained through high pensions and hard work is actually to fully prepare for their son Li Tianyi's life in the United States, and fully support and guarantee his future development path.
Mr. Yang Hongji said earnestly: "Your current excessive favor for Li Tianyi has gone beyond the boundaries of reason, and your behavior has gradually become extreme.
Spoiling excessively, children go away, you need to think carefully, otherwise it will bring endless troubles".
However, the stubborn Li Shuangjiang ignored his best friend's advice, but took a resolute attitude, believing that his friend's concern was superfluous and violated his dignity as a parent.
Since then, there has been an irreparable rift in their friendship.
One day a few years later, Li Shuangjiang and Yang Hongji met again on the same stage, seeing each other like strangers, you turn a blind eye to me, I blind you to you.
The audience present all felt sorry for this scene, lamenting that the opposition between friends would become enemies, which is really the most painful thing in the world.
Who would have thought that a father's stubbornness would ruin a decades-long friendship? If Li Shuangjiang had humbly accepted his friend's advice, what would have been the outcome of the matter? The cruel reality is unpredictable.
Now, at the age of 84, Li Shuangjiang has entered the old age of his life, he is thin, full of silver hair, his eyes are dull, and his back is bent. However, the once popular music superstar is now forced to take to the streets and perform hard to earn a meager income to make ends meet.
Every time he saw Li Shuangjiang look like this on a makeshift simple stage, the surrounding audience was all moved, shaking their heads and sighing, deeply sympathetic to his situation.
Many people were sympathetic to him, believing that it was indeed too much work for him to take on busy tasks as he was getting older, while others held a more vehement view that this was the shame that Li Shuangjiang had brought on himself and that he deserved retribution.
Li Shuangjiang, once at the peak of his career, became a typical representative of self-indulgence and doting on his children, and people even nicknamed him - "The King of Doting".
His love for his son Li Tianyi has reached the point of no return, no matter what kind of outrageous behavior his son makes, it seems natural in his eyes and worthy of forgiveness.
Even his closest friends, seeing this situation, couldn't help but admonish: "You are too indulgent to your son, I am afraid it will bring endless hidden dangers to the future."
However, Li Shuangjiang turned a deaf ear to this, and instead regarded his friend's kind reminder as a superfluous move.
In the end, under the protection and protection of Li Shuangjiang, Li Tianyi's bad behavior became more and more serious, until he was sentenced to 10 years in prison on suspicion of rape at the age of 17.
In the face of his son's heinous crime, Li Shuangjiang did not give any punishment, but did his best to exonerate him, and even spent a huge amount of money to try to evade legal punishment for his son through illegal means, which is simply beyond his strength!
Looking back now, Li Shuangjiang's ignorant and submissive attitude back then is really ridiculous. It was precisely because of his excessive doting on his son that today's tragedy has occurred.
If he had disciplined his son strictly, perhaps the humiliation of today could have been avoided.
However, the author also sincerely hopes that Li Tianyi can wake up and remain cautious in his words and deeds in a foreign country, and not repeat the mistakes of the past. After all, his parents have paid a huge price for his mistakes, and he should understand this deeply and be grateful.
If Li Tianyi continues to make mistakes, then without Li Shuangjiang as a backer, his life in the United States will be difficult. Therefore, Li Tianyi must seriously reflect on his past mistakes at this moment, repent and reform himself from the bottom of his heart, so as to usher in a new life.
As a father, Li Shuangjiang also needs to learn from this painful lesson and deeply reflect on whether there are many shortcomings in his own education method as a father.
After all, the price he paid for it was heavy enough.
All in all, let's look forward to the future direction of Li Shuangjiang's family, and perhaps there is a turning point waiting for them, as long as they can learn from this and work hard to make corrections.
