Time flies like a white horse, the world is changing rapidly, and Zhang Ruifang's life has gradually come to an end. As she watched the sun slowly set, watching the afterglow gently fall on her wrinkled cheeks, she knew she was running out of time.
However, the 93-year-old did not have the slightest fear of death, on the contrary, her heart was full of gratitude and endless anticipation for the final stage of her life.
Looking back on the past years, Zhang Ruifang has gone through a tortuous and rich life journey. When she was young, she devoted herself to the revolution and actively participated in the anti-Japanese salvation movement, and in her middle age, she became a high-profile star in the film and television industry, and during the Cultural Revolution, she suffered heavy losses and almost fell into the predicament of disrepute.
However, she never bowed to fate, and with perseverance, she reshaped her life again and again.
It wasn't until 2000 that Zhang Ruifang resolutely sold her old residence in Beijing and used the proceeds to build a nursing home in her hometown. For an elderly man, this is undoubtedly a major decision and challenge.
However, Zhang Ruifang has never flinched, she devotes herself wholeheartedly to the management of the nursing home, and every day she has to learn about the progress of various work by phone, and do her best to contribute to this cause.
In 2010, Zhang Ruifang officially moved into the nursing home she founded and began the last decade of her life. Despite her advanced age, she is still vigorous and energetic. The staff were often deeply moved by the old man's enthusiasm and perseverance.
Finally, on June 28, 2012, at the age of 93, Zhang Ruifang passed away peacefully in a hospital. When she closed her eyes forever, although her relatives and friends were inevitably sad, they were more of a tribute and praise to the old man.
She spent her last ten years writing a colorful farewell chapter for her life.
2. In his early years, he devoted himself to the revolution and actively participated in the anti-Japanese salvation movement
Talking about Zhang Ruifang's life process, we have to start with her weathered childhood. In 1918, she was born into a family of scholars with a privileged family environment. However, the good times are always short-lived, and when she was 8 years old, her family suddenly suffered a catastrophe, her father died of illness, and the family suddenly fell into the abyss of poverty.
Although the difficult environment did not erode Zhang Ruifang's innocent heart, on the contrary, she received a rich patriotic education as a blooming flower during her study in a boarding private school! As the years passed, she had a heart as hot as a star, and she was deeply worried about the fate of the country and the future of the nation.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is 1937, the year of the epic full-scale war of resistance against Japan. In the face of the enemy's iron hooves ruthlessly trampling, Zhang Ruifang threw himself into the torrent of anti-Japanese salvation without hesitation with a calm and resolute attitude.
At that moment, her heart was filled with incomparable love for the motherland and a sense of sacred mission to defend her homeland.
Soon after, Zhang Ruifang joined a rear service team to serve the brave soldiers on the front line and take charge of the transportation of supplies. She and her comrades-in-arms were often attacked by heavy artillery fire from the air, and they could only prostrate on the ground, facing the test of life and death together.
Their living conditions are extremely harsh, and they often have to rely on weak campfires to withstand the cold.
Despite this, Zhang Ruifang and his comrades-in-arms have never wavered in their firm beliefs. On those cold and biting nights, they always enthusiastically discussed the dawn of victory, hoping that the fighting would subside as soon as possible.
Zhang Ruifang has such ardent feelings for the cause of the liberation of the motherland that her future life path has long been predestined.
Fast forward to 1942, and Zhang Ruifang was fortunate to meet her first husband Chen Shan. At that time, Zhang Ruifang had spent 24 years of spring and autumn, and her heart was full of mature expectations for marriage.
However, the good times are always short-lived, and the married life of the two lasted only four years, and Chen Shan unfortunately died on the front line.
The pain of losing her beloved did not shake Zhang Ruifang's revolutionary faith, she still adhered to the road of resisting Japan and saving the country, and defended the dignity of the country and the nation with full blood.
However, Zhang Ruifang did not flinch because of this, but turned this deep pain into a driving force for progress, and unswervingly devoted himself to the journey of fighting and saving the world!
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, ten years have passed. In 1952, the goddess of fate favored her and gave her a new love - she met her second husband Chen Mengde! This time, this marriage seemed even happier and more satisfying, they respected each other and shared weal and woe, like a fairy partner made in heaven.
。
However, the world is impermanent, and only four years later, in 1956, Chen Mengde unfortunately passed away due to illness, and Zhang Ruifang fell into marital sorrow again.
After two heavy blows of life and death, Zhang Ruifang's inner pain can be imagined. She was full of emotion in an interview: "I have three husbands in my life, but none of them belong to me. This heartfelt sentence exhausted her confusion and helplessness on the emotional road.
However, Zhang Ruifang's vitality is like a tenacious weed, she did not become decadent because of this, but devoted herself to her career. In 1962, she starred in the movie "Pentium Age", which can be called a monument in her acting career.
Once Zhang Ruifang poured all her inner world into her work, she seemed to have forgotten the shadow of marriage for the time being. She is engrossed in every role, religiously interpreting each role, and evoking the deep desire for faith in the audience with her superb acting skills.
In this way, she has created a new world of her own step by step in the film industry.
