On a sunny afternoon, Ms. Li Wenhui, who was busy, temporarily stopped what she was doing and reclined on a comfortable rattan chair to rest. Her gentle gaze passed through the window, staring at the flowers blooming in the courtyard, and she couldn't help but fall into deep thought, recalling a special day many years ago.
That year was the 55th anniversary of her marriage to Mr. Yan Su. Although the two old men have entered their prime, the relationship between them is still as warm and sweet as when they were in their first love.
In order to celebrate this important day, Mr. Yan Su specially splashed ink and composed an affectionate poem "Accompanying the King" for his beloved wife.
"Let the yellow flowers bloom, the blue water murmuring, the green mountains are picturesque, and the red leaves are like fire...... Mr. Yan Su's deep and magnetic voice echoed in his ears, as if telling their life of mutual affection.
Ms. Li Wenhui gently closed her eyes and let the river of memories lead her back to those distant and precious times. She remembered the good times they had when they became husband and wife in 1961.
As a soldier, Mr. Yan Su has been running around all year round, and it is rare for them to reunite. And she, as an unknown wife, took on the burden of the family and went all out to support her husband's career.
Even when Mr. Yan Su's opera "Sister Jiang" was questioned and she was almost exiled to the border of the motherland, she did not hesitate to choose to spend the hardships with her husband.
"No matter where you are, I want to be there for you. You have already experienced the hardships and hardships of Tibet, what other difficulties are there that you cannot overcome?" The simple phrase "I am here" fully demonstrates the comfort and encouragement of the wife to her husband.
Time flies, they have worked together through countless ups and downs, but their love for each other has never faded with the passage of time. On the night when Mr. Yan Su finished writing the last word of "Companion Junxing", Ms. Li Wenhui snuggled up in her husband's arms and said with tears in her eyes: "We will be together forever, and we will never swerve in this life."
Mr. Yan Su gazed affectionately into his wife's eyes and whispered in her ear in poetic language: "I still remember that romantic night every year, the fragrance is overflowing, and the moonlight is like a dream...... without too many words, this is the mark of their life, and it is also Mr. Yan Su's deepest blessing to his wife.
When we mention Mr. Yan Su, we will inevitably think of his famous musical masterpieces, the most well-known of which is "Dare to Ask Where the Way Is". The melody is beautiful and moving, and the lyrics are subtle and profound, vividly depicting the twists and turns of life and the perseverance in the pursuit of truth.
The famous poem "Seeing Flowers in the Fog" examines the changes in life from a unique perspective, and Mr. Yan Su skillfully integrates these feelings into the melody. Originally set to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the promulgation of the Trademark Law, "Seeing Flowers in the Mist" unexpectedly became a profound reflection on the changes in his life.
In addition to his busy composing work, Mr. Yan Su would always involuntarily stare out the window, watching the morning mist gradually dissipate against the background of the morning sun, and the outlines of flowers and trees becoming clearer.
In addition to music creation, Mr. Yan Su also composed theme songs for many film and television dramas, the most famous of which is undoubtedly the theme song of the 1983 TV series "Journey to the West". When he was asked to compose the theme song for the series, he didn't hesitate to say yes.
After watching the sample film, Mr. Yan Su was full of inspiration and wrote the first few sentences freely, but he always felt that there seemed to be a wonderful sentence missing that could point out the main idea.
At this time, Mr. Yan Su happened to pass by his son Yan Yu's room and saw that he was preparing for the upcoming college entrance examination, but laughed at his father for leaving a series of deep footprints on the floor.
This unintentional sentence inspired Mr. Yan Su's creation, and he suddenly realized: "The road is actually under our own feet!", so the good sentence that has been handed down to this day - "Dare to ask where the road is, the road is under the feet" came into being.
In the process of creation, Mr. Yan Su is often in a hurry, and his face is serious, and even his wife Li Wenhui cannot explore the secret of his inner creation. However, once he put his thoughts into writing, Mr. Yan Su's expression became approachable, cordial and respectable.
Recalling that time, Ms. Li Wenhui couldn't help but sigh: Sometimes I even wonder if my husband is suffering from multiple personality disorder, but in fact, it is just a special state that the artist presents when he devotes himself to his creation.
In the face of the classic opera "Sister Jiang", which has been criticized and even accused of being a "poisonous weed", Mr. Yan Su was not discouraged by this, but devoted himself to new challenges with a firmer creative belief.
It is this unswerving artistic pursuit that has made his music creations an eternal classic and a cultural treasure that will never fade.
Dating back to the late 1950s, Mr. Yan Su had already risen to prominence, and with his outstanding talent, he became one of the first-class rookies in the literary world. He was born into a prestigious Catholic family in Baoding, Hebei Province, and his father Yan Xiangchen and mother Chen Yaxian were both devout religious believers.
However, the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937 dealt a heavy blow to the Yan family, and they were forced to leave their homeland, wander around, and finally chose to take refuge in Chongqing, and their lives were in difficulty for a while.
Fate seemed to be full of malice towards the family, and when they lived in a monastery on the banks of the Jialing River, the glory of the past was gone. However, it was in this humble monastery that Yan Su as a teenager showed an astonishing talent.
He was actively involved in the activities of the choir, and his voice was loud and beautiful, and he quickly stood out, becoming one of the leading convents, and the French priest of the convent was full of praise for Yan Su, regarding him as a shining pearl, and firmly believing that he would definitely become the star of tomorrow of the Church, so he devoted a lot of energy to careful cultivation.
Mr. Yan Su was open-minded and had excellent academic performance, and he was soon elected as the bell-ringer of the monastery, an honor he earned through his actions. Fate is so kind to Mr. Yan Su, which indicates that he will shine in the future.
In 1949, when Mr. Yan Su was admitted to Chongqing University with excellent results, he always maintained the identity of the backbone of literature and art, organized all kinds of performances, performed cross talk, and was good at singing and dancing.
At this critical moment, a crucial figure appeared in the course of Mr. Yan Su's life - Ms. Li Wenhui. In 1959, Mr. Yan Su was ordered to transfer to the Air Force, and since then he has formed an indissoluble bond with aircraft.
Some people think that such an outstanding young man should not bury his talent, so he recommended a young, beautiful, and noble female doctor Li Wenhui to Huang He, the head of Mr. Yan Su's regiment, hoping that the two could tie the knot.
In that era when communication was not developed, the two newlyweds could only convey their thoughts to each other through correspondence. Mr. Yan Su's profound writing skills, coupled with his photos of him wearing a heroic and handsome military uniform, made Ms. Li Wenhui a little disappointed in him.
Yan Su in her mind should be a burly and handsome officer, not the thin, ordinary-looking young man in front of her.
However, Yan Su's simple and true brilliance of humanity deeply touched Li Wenhui's heart. After many in-depth and detailed exchanges and deliberations, the two finally made up their minds and decided to spend the rest of their lives together, and in 1961 they entered the sacred marriage hall.
Looking back on the past years, Yan Su's childhood life is legendary. He was born into a wealthy Catholic family, and his father, Yan Xiangchen, and mother, Chen Yaxian, were both devout believers, and he was placed in an environment of holiness and harmony from an early age.
As the eldest son in the family, Yan Su has shown outstanding talent since he was a child.
However, just when they were in trouble, fate seemed to play a cruel joke on the Yan family. They were forced to live in a humble monastery on the banks of the Jialing River, and the prosperity of the past was a thing of the past.
However, it was in this dilapidated monastery that the young Yan Su revealed his extraordinary artistic talent.
He was active in the activities of the monastery choir, and his high-pitched voice quickly rose to prominence as one of the best in the convent. The French priest of the abbey, Father Jean Vizson, had a discerning eye and praised Yan Su as a shining jewel destined to become the Church's rising star.
Therefore, Fr. Shang devoted all his efforts to guiding Yan Su in the hope of shaping him into a loyal believer.
Yan Su showed extraordinary intelligence from an early age, excelled in his studies, and was also an optimistic and cheerful child. For his outstanding performance, he was soon elected bell-ringer of the monastery, an honor he earned through his actions.
In the years of Yan Su's youth, his artistic talent was fully honed and explored. Every time he rings the bell to announce the beginning or end of a new day, a solemn religious atmosphere permeates the entire monastery.
The activities of the choir have stimulated Yan Su's strong interest in music.
Later, Yan Su was successfully admitted to Chongqing University, and although he majored in business administration, he always adhered to the identity of the backbone of literature and art. During his time at school, he organized all kinds of performances, performed cross talk, and shined, which can be called a model of all-rounder.
Those who had played a leading role in the New Democratic Youth League, and they were naturally attracted to this talented young man, and they took the initiative to seek him to join them, hoping to include him in their team.
It was that unique experience that made Mr. Yan Su decisively give up the opportunity to continue higher education to gain deeper knowledge, and chose to devote himself to the Southwest Youth Art Troupe without reservation, and since then he has embarked on his dazzling journey of music creation.
The moment they entered the palace of marriage, Mr. Yan Su affectionately expressed this promise to his wife, Li Wenhui: "There is almost no dispute between us, because I will always respect and adopt your views unconditionally."
"It turns out that in their happy married life, there really has never been any kind of disagreement or quarrel.
Ms. Li Wenhui has been instilled in her husband from an early age to serve her husband with all her heart and to support him with all her might, and she has done a very good job of this.
In 1962, Mr. Yan Su finally received permission to return to his hometown in Jinzhou with his family to visit relatives – the first long vacation after their marriage. Although it was only 18 days, Mr. Yan Su still devoted himself to creation.
He made full use of every minute and every second of his precious rest time to carefully write the first draft of the opera "Sister Jiang", and continued to polish and improve it after returning to Beijing.
In the end, this classic that was loved by a wide audience came out, and won Mr. Yan Su widespread praise and fame.
However, just as his popularity was soaring, Mr. Yan Su suffered a heavy blow in his career. His opera "Sister Jiang" was maliciously slandered as a "poisonous weed" by the power authorities at the time, and even almost exiled him to the Great Northern Wilderness in the northernmost part of the motherland.
Faced with such a severe predicament, Mr. Yan Su confessed the truth to his wife Li Wenhui and proposed a temporary separation so that she and her children would not be implicated. However, Ms. Li Wenhui did not hesitate to reject her husband's proposal, dispelling his doubts with a firm and powerful sentence: "No matter where you are, I am willing to follow you."
You have successfully overcome the harsh environment of Tibet, what kind of hardships are you unable to bear? Even if you are really exiled to the Great Northern Wilderness, it will not affect us too much, because we will meet the challenges of life together everywhere.
This touching sentence "I am here" deeply expresses the wife's endless love and firm support for her husband. Just as Li Wenhui's heartfelt words woke up the confused people, when Yan Su composed the theme song for the classic novel "Journey to the West", because of the sentence she unintentionally mentioned "You have stepped on the carpet traces", she was suddenly inspired and realized the profound meaning of "dare to ask where the road is, the road is under your feet".
In the years to come, Yan Su continued his brilliant creative career, and Li Wenhui silently became his strongest backing. She did her best to take on all the chores of the family, creating a quiet and harmonious creative atmosphere for her husband.
Sometimes, Yan Su would fall into depression, but Li Wenhui was always able to give him rational advice and spiritual comfort to help him resolve his inner troubles.
In this way, the two loving couples supported each other and spent more than 70 years of ups and downs together. At that time, when the light was flying and the temples were gray, the affectionate and touching love poem "Accompanying the King" written by Yan Su for his wife was undoubtedly a good wish and summary of their lives: "Although we have experienced countless ups and downs, I am still willing to accompany you and spend this colorful life together."
On February 12, 2016, this outstanding artist and lyricist Yan Su completed his glorious life and left us forever. When the bad news came, Li Wenhui was grief-stricken, and the deep affection between them came to an end.
After Yan Su's death, Li Wenhui often immersed himself in the sea of memories, reminiscing about the good times with her husband.
She still vividly remembers that it was on their 55th wedding anniversary. Although the two have entered old age, their relationship is still as warm and sweet as when they first fell in love.
In order to celebrate this day of special significance, Yan Su specially put pen to paper and created a poem "Accompanying the King" full of true feelings for his beloved wife.
"I have shared thousands of deep feelings, but I still retain that original intention...... I still remember that romantic night every year, the fragrance was permeated, and the moonlight was hazy...... "Every time Li Wenhui reads this poem, the deep and deep voice of Yan Su when he recites it comes to mind, as if telling the story of their loving life."
Yan Su uses poetic words to perfectly interpret what true love is - a love that has gone through vicissitudes but is still alive, a love that can walk hand in hand with you to the ends of the earth.
In that era, they had walked side by side through the joys and sorrows of life, shared laughter and tears together, and faced endless ups and downs, but the love between them was never indifferent because of the passage of time.
Whenever he recalls the past, Li Wenhui always can't help but burst into tears. At this moment, she saw the energetic and expectant young self as if she were there, holding Yan Su's hand and bravely stepping towards a new journey in life.
On the long road of life, they have overcome countless difficulties and setbacks together, but they have never given up on each other.
Even in the most difficult moments, when Yan Su faced the fate of exile, she still firmly chose to survive with her husband. It is precisely because of this selfless support and encouragement that the flower of their love can bloom for a long time.
