1. The elderly Huang Wanqiu fondly reminisced about her youthful years
In the quiet room, Huang Wanqiu, who is nearly eighty years old, leans peacefully on the rocking chair, her eyes are closed, and she wanders out of the world. In a trance, she traveled through the time tunnel and returned to that passionate youth - in 1943, Huang Wanqiu fell to the ground in a working family in Yongfu County, Guangxi.
Her hard-working father, gentle and virtuous mother, and eight siblings, despite their hard lives, could not exhaust her passion for art.
Since she was four years old, whenever someone invited her to show her talent, Huang Wanqiu always danced with great interest, or sang self-composed songs as if no one was around, without the slightest shyness, her eyes flashed with expectation, eager to get warm applause and heartfelt praise from the audience.
Her aunt had the discerning eye to discover her niece's artistic talent and gave her selfless support and encouragement.
Despite her poor family, Huang Wanqiu's yearning for art is like a raging flame that cannot be stopped. With the help of her aunt, she was highly recognized by Mr. Yin Xi, a leading figure in the Gui Opera industry, which was undoubtedly the first major affirmation in her artistic career, which made her dream more and more intense.
In 1956, Huang Wanqiu learned that the Gui Opera Troupe was recruiting talents, and although she only had a fifth-grade education, she did not hesitate to sign up for the selection with several sisters who also had dreams.
In that fateful exam, this open-minded girl played on the spot, asked the examiner to allow her to perform an impromptu performance, and won thunderous applause from the audience for her exquisite skills, and finally she stood out from hundreds of competitors and set a good story of "exceptional admission".
In this way, Huang Wanqiu, who was only 13 years old, stepped into the door of the Gui Opera Troupe as she wished, and officially embarked on the journey of chasing her dreams. Now, at an advanced age, she recalls those youthful years, as if it was just yesterday, and the fire of dreams in her heart is still shining.
2. "Liu Sanjie" has achieved glory and trough
The young and energetic Huang Wanqiu is like a clear stream, happily rushing in the ocean of art. In 1959, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity came to her, and she was selected to participate in the movie "Liu Sanjie".
At first, Huang Wanqiu only played an inconspicuous small role "Zhou Mei" in the film. However, due to the poor image of the heroine, director Su Li had a unique eye and discovered the kindness contained in Huang Wanqiu's clear and bright eyes, so he decisively decided to make this 17-year-old girl from a small role to the core character of the film.
Although Huang Wanqiu's singing skills are slightly insufficient, however, through clever singing processing, this shortcoming can be fully compensated. What's more, her aura and pure and natural performance charm is like a comfortable feeling bathed in the spring breeze, which makes people fascinated! In order to improve her acting skills, Huang Wanqiu has made great efforts, and under the careful guidance of director and star Liu Shilong, the rapid progress is remarkable.
During the filming of the film, Liu Shilong had already sensed in advance that this young and energetic girl would definitely shine on the road of acting in the future.
As it turned out, he was not wrong in his prediction. "Liu Sanjie" became popular all over the world as soon as it was released, setting a number of long-term release records. Huang Wanqiu's bright eyes, white teeth, warm courage and kind nature instantly swept the country, becoming the brightest new star of that era.
There is even a die-hard fan who has watched a full 99 performances of "Liu Sanjie", and every time he watches the movie, he will write an experience and send it to Huang Wanqiu.
However, just as Huang Wanqiu's career was reaching its peak, a sudden storm swept over and pushed her to the trough of her life. In that crazy era, she was slandered and persecuted for no reason, and she was reduced from a big star to a "black seedling" overnight.
She had been beaten with sticks and threatened with shooting, but she could not understand what she had done.
In that desperate dark night, Huang Wanqiu, who was physically and mentally exhausted, had the idea of ending her life several times. However, whenever she recalls the support and encouragement given by the audience, she rekindles her belief in survival and goes on firmly.
The gains and disgraces of her life almost all stem from this "Liu Sanjie" movie.
3. How He Youcai illuminates the dark days
In those endless dark years, Huang Wanqiu's life seemed to have fallen into an unprecedented desperate situation. However, at the moment when she felt the most desperate, a warm light quietly descended, bringing her strength and hope - this light is He Youcai.
He Youcai is only 24 years old, six years different from Huang Wanqiu, and is an ordinary actor in the same troupe. At a time when everyone was avoiding her and everyone was in danger, he was the only one who resolutely stood beside Huang Wanqiu regardless of the persuasion and threats of others, giving her selfless care and care.
"She didn't do anything wrong, why did she treat her like this?" In the face of those doubting voices, He Youcai stepped forward without fear and resolutely defended Huang Wanqiu's rights and interests.
Eventually, he was implicated in the incident and demoted to a factory as an ordinary worker. However, he never had the slightest doubt or waver about his choice.
In those years full of hardship and struggle, Huang Wanqiu deeply felt the aura of courage and courage exuded by He Youcai. At one time, she only regarded this man as her colleague and friend, but after experiencing the test of life and death, she gradually realized that He Youcai was a person to rely on and trust.
So, on an ordinary day in 1972, Huang Wanqiu made a firm decision - to enter the palace of marriage hand in hand with He Youcai. Although their union was not voluntary, this decision gave Huang Wanqiu unprecedented peace and warmth.
Soon after marriage, Huang Wanqiu welcomed a lovely daughter, He Yanyun. The arrival of this new life has given her greater courage and strength to face the challenges of life.
Staring at her husband and daughter, Huang Wanqiu silently swore in her heart that no matter what kind of difficulties she encountered in the future, she would survive strongly for this family.
With He Youcai's company, Huang Wanqiu no longer faced the long dark night alone, but drew strength from it, and finally survived that painful and desperate time.
Fourth, the regain of freedom He Youcai fully supports
Time will eventually soothe all madness and fear, and light will always come as scheduled. In 1982, Huang Wanqiu was finally rehabilitated and rejoined the embrace of freedom.
This time, she starred in popular film and television masterpieces such as "Chunlan Qiuju" and "The Great Wall Armageddon", and once again became the focus of attention. The lively and moving image of "Liu Sanjie" back then is still deeply imprinted in the hearts of the audience.
However, just as Huang Wanqiu returned to the peak of her career, she also had a trace of wavering in her heart. Some powerful people have long coveted the artist, believing that Huang Wanqiu's ordinary husband He Youcai cannot match him.
All kinds of gossip came one after another, reaching Huang Wanqiu's ears.
Whenever she heard such remarks, Huang Wanqiu always fought back without hesitation: "My family and I are a loving couple who share weal and woe, and no one can replace this sincere emotion! Our relationship is harmonious and happy, and our life is extremely happy."
As an ordinary person, He Youcai has never concealed his ordinariness. On the contrary, he said frankly: "Wanqiu has gone through hardships, and I should do my best to help her better develop her artistic career, so that those who love and admire her can appreciate her talent again."
Since that moment, He Youcai has become Huang Wanqiu's most solid support and strongest support. He is fully dedicated, selfless dedication, and meticulously cares for Huang Wanqiu's artistic career all the time, willing to be a virtuous helper in her life, a capable person in her work, and devotes all his resources to create a superior creative environment for her, so that Huang Wanqiu's artistic dreams can bloom to the fullest.
Whenever people affectionately praised Huang Wanqiu as "worthy", she always rejected it with a humble attitude, attributing all the honor and success to He Youcai's strong support and endless love.
Huang Wanqiu knows that if it weren't for the full support of this life partner, she might only be able to stay in the corner of "Liu Sanjie", unable to break through herself and climb to the top of art.
Five and three generations jointly interpret the legendary love of "Liu Sanjie".
"Liu Sanjie" is not only a movie, it is also Huang Wanqiu's lifelong ideal and career pursuit. This work brought her to the top of her life, but it pushed her to the trough, it can be said that her whole life is closely connected with the three words "Liu Sanjie".
Over the years, Huang Wanqiu has devoted countless efforts to cultivating the successor of "Liu Sanjie". She hopes that this role can be passed down from generation to generation and forever in the annals of history, which is not only her personal firm belief, but also a kind of inheritance and promotion of the excellent traditional Chinese culture.
Today, Huang Wanqiu, who has entered the prime of his life, is still active on the stage, interpreting his artistic ideals with his singing. "As long as I still have the strength to sing, I will always carry forward the spirit of 'Liu Sanjie'.
She said.
And this deep relationship with "Liu Sanjie" has continued to her family. Huang Wanqiu is the first generation of "Liu Sanjie", and her daughter He Yanyun is the second generation.
He Yanyun has witnessed her mother's dedication to the career of "Liu Sanjie" since she was a child, and gradually grew into her mother's right-hand man. As she grew older, she also began to play the role of "Liu Sanjie".
And Huang Wanqiu's two granddaughters shoulder the responsibility of the third generation of "Liu Sanjie". Nurtured by their great-grandmother and mother, they have an innate affinity for the character.
Whenever she sees three generations gathered on the stage, Huang Wanqiu always feels extremely gratified. She hopes that the story of "Liu Sanjie" can be passed down from generation to generation through them, and become a long-standing spring of Chinese culture.
Sixth, the loving couple will work together to survive the hundred years of ups and downs
Time flies, as if a white horse passes quietly, He Youcai and Huang Wanqiu have gone through a hundred years of ups and downs together with deep affection. Looking back on the past now, He Youcai has mixed feelings and thoughts in his heart.
When they first met, their encounter and the conclusion of that relationship were completely accidental, and there was no definite fate. However, He Youcai was deeply moved by Huang Wanqiu, who was still tenacious and unyielding in difficult situations, so he chose to walk with her in the most difficult and difficult times to face the challenges of life together.
That long period of darkness lasted for 15 years, and they supported each other in the midst of hardship. It is this unforgettable experience that makes the original simple companionship between them gradually sublimated into deep love.
Over the years, He Youcai has always been Huang Wanqiu's strongest backing and spiritual pillar. If it weren't for his wholehearted support and understanding, Huang Wanqiu would probably have been unable to climb to the top of her career again after regaining her freedom.
Her glorious achievements in the past all contain He Youcai's hard work and silent dedication.
And Huang Wanqiu used practical actions to interpret her deep friendship with her husband. She is not only a virtuous and intelligent wife, but also a daughter-in-law who respects her elders. Whenever He Youcai's parents or her own relatives fell ill, she always waited by the sickbed to fulfill her filial piety, and sometimes even had to wipe their phlegm and clean up their excrement herself.
This filial piety made He Youcai feel a lot of emotion and was moved.
Now, although they have entered their old age, they still support each other, grow old together, and witness a great love story born in an ordinary life together. From acquaintance to adversity, and then to lifelong companionship, they have gone through the most beautiful journey of love.
