1. The lonely widowed old man fondly recalls his deceased dearest partner, and his heart is surging with endless pain
Dai Huiyao sat alone on the bed, staring at the portrait of her husband Sun Feihu on the wall, and the grief in her heart couldn't help but welling up in her heart. In the past nine years, she has never been able to get rid of the deep concern in her heart, the nostalgia for her husband who was once full of vitality and unreserved pursuit of career.
Dai Huiyao gently rubbed the clothes that his wife had cherished for many years, and recalled the heart-pounding and romantic love relationship. In 1972, they first met at the Guizhou Repertory Theatre, which was far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, and established a deep relationship between them because of a meeting of eyes.
At that time, Dai Huiyao was a newcomer who had just joined the performance team, and Sun Feihu had already made a name for himself in the entertainment industry. In order to complete the rehearsal of the drama together, they often get together and ponder every line and action repeatedly.
As time passes, they are attracted to each other's talents and inner charm, and gradually develop love.
Although Sun Feihu's family environment was not wealthy and their living conditions were relatively simple, they successfully survived one difficulty after another with their hard work and the spirit of thrifty housekeeping.
In 1976, 35-year-old Sun Feihu married 23-year-old Dai Huiyao and began their married life.
A few years later, the crystallization of their love - a pair of lovely children were born, and this ordinary family became more warm and harmonious.
However, fate is always so cruel, just when Sun Feihu's career is in full swing, a sudden illness takes his life. Dai Huiyao will always remember her husband's advice to her on his deathbed: "I left, you are still young, you must cherish your life."
Whenever she recalled this sentence, Dai Huiyao's tears would involuntarily slide down her cheeks.
2. A humiliating background and a life journey of unremitting pursuit of dreams
Sun Feihu was born into a petty-bourgeois family in Shanghai, the son of a father who worked in U.S. Customs and a stay-at-home mother, Huang Xiudi. The family lived a privileged and comfortable life, living in a single-family bungalow, and the living conditions were luxurious.
However, the arrival of a political movement completely shattered their originally comfortable life. Because Sun Feihu's father had served foreigners, he was treated unfairly and was forced to be sent to the countryside for labor reform.
The family was forced to move out of their spacious and bright garden house, and had to live in a dilapidated house on the banks of the Suzhou Creek. Her mother, Huang Xiudi, had to go out to work and struggled to maintain the family's livelihood.
This family upheaval brought a heavy blow to Sun Feihu, and it was also an important turning point in his life. In order to prove his worth, he worked hard with his sisters and sisters, studied hard, and finally successfully entered the university of his choice.
When he graduated from university, Sun Feihu could not stay in the bustling city of Shanghai because of his poor family background, but was sent to work in a repertory troupe in Guizhou, a border area. At that time, due to various reasons, the number of rehearsals of dramas was scarce, and Sun Feihu had almost no chance to perform on stage, and his future was confused and his mood was heavy.
Love marriage has also become a big problem. There was a matchmaker who matched Sun Feihu, but when the woman learned about the poor background of the Sun family and the fact that her parents were troubled by "historical problems", she resolutely ended the relationship.
In the face of successive setbacks, Sun Feihu came up with the pessimistic idea of being lonely and old in this life. At this moment, a passionate girl from Hubei, Dai Huiyao, was like a ray of sunshine that illuminated his life and completely changed his fate.
In 1972, at the age of 23, Dai Huiyao was successfully admitted to the student class of the Guizhou Repertory Theatre, and two years later was successfully promoted to an official member and began a close cooperative relationship with Sun Feihu.
Although Dai Huiyao is a full 12 years younger than Sun Feihu, she is deeply attracted by Sun Feihu's mature charm. And Sun Feihu also developed a strong interest in this energetic and talented girl.
In order to rehearse dramas together, they are often inseparable, and as time goes by, the relationship between them gradually warms up, and finally comes together.
In January 1976, 35-year-old Sun Feihu married 23-year-old Dai Huiyao, a couple with a 12-year-old difference, with a yearning for a better life in the future, and started their happy married life.
Despite the difficult living conditions, they support each other and embrace each other. As an actor in a repertory theatre, whenever one of them is filming a drama outside, the other party will do their best to take care of the housework and create a warm and comfortable living environment for their partner.
Although Sun Feihu devoted himself to his career, he never forgot his family responsibilities. In 1978, their baby daughter Sun Tinglu was born, and two years later, their son Sun Ting also came to this world.
The children are very sensible from an early age, and they know that they should not disturb their father's "learning", so as not to affect his mood and creative state.
In order to sharpen their son's self-reliance, Mr. and Mrs. Sun made a major decision in 2001 and decided to send him to Australia for further study. Witnessing the children growing up strongly, Mr. Sun Feihu and Ms. Dai Huiyao were deeply moved and believed that every moment they experienced was full of profound meaning and endless happiness.
Despite the family's financial constraints, the Sun family has successfully overcome one hardship after another with their good habits of hard work and saving money. Whenever he goes to work on the set, Mr. Sun Feihu will save living expenses on a budget, and bring all his savings back to the family to be managed by his wife.
I remember that on the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival that year, the crew gave Mr. Sun Feihu a box of moon cakes and a few catties of oranges as holiday gifts, but he was reluctant to enjoy them alone, but took them home half a month later to share the sweetness with the whole family.
Such an attitude to life deeply touched the hearts of the husband and wife.
Fourth, the glorious moment of "Chiang Kai-shek's first person".
In the 80s of the last century, it was undoubtedly the golden years of Mr. Sun Feihu's acting career. In 1979, he successfully portrayed the important role of "Chiang Kai-shek" in the revolutionary historical TV series "Xi'an Incident", and became famous overnight, known as "the first person to play Chiang Kai-shek".
In order to accurately reproduce this historical figure, Mr. Sun Feihu has made great efforts. He gave up his precious rest time to voraciously study all kinds of documents about Chiang Kai-shek, and interviewed many people who had had in-depth contacts with Chiang Kai-shek.
Even in terms of diet and rest, Mr. Sun Feihu was affected. At that time, he often closed himself in the video data room, watching a large amount of video material continuously, sometimes even sitting for an entire day.
When he returned home at night, he was still immersed in deep thinking and speculation about the role, while Ms. Dai Huiyao thoughtfully created a quiet and comfortable atmosphere for her husband, so as not to disturb his creative inspiration.
What is amazing is that it is precisely because of this unwavering dedication that Mr. Sun Feihu can perfectly present the image of "Chiang Kai-shek" in his middle age in the film, and thus won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 2nd Chinese Film "Golden Rooster Award".
Although he played an important role in the play, he only won the supporting role award in the end, and Mr. Sun Feihu inevitably felt a little regretful in his heart, but the relevant leaders specially explained the selection rules to him in detail.
In the following ten years, Mr. Sun Feihu has played "Chiang Kai-shek" in other film and television works many times, and his image has become more mature and stable, and he has won numerous awards. People have said that just by hearing the Mandarin with the characteristics of Ningbo and Shanghai dialects, they can immediately recognize that it is Mr. Sun Feihu playing Chiang Kai-shek.
Friends of this well-known calligrapher and painter have extraordinary talents, and they can instantly present priceless calligraphy and paintings with a splash of ink, but Sun Feihu has never asked for any of them.
He firmly believes in the truth that "the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water", sticks to his principles, and this enthusiasm and dedication to getting along with people is the key factor for Sun Feihu to win praise and admiration from everyone.
5. Cancer ruthlessly took her husband's life
Life was originally full of hope and beauty, however, fate dealt them a heavy blow in a ruthless way. In 2013, Sun Feihu suddenly had symptoms such as weight loss and blood in the stool, and Dai Huiyao immediately sent her husband to the hospital for a detailed examination, and was diagnosed with colon cancer! This sudden bad news was like a bolt from the blue, and the couple fell into deep despair.
Although Dai Huiyao always shows a tenacious and unyielding mental outlook in front of her husband, when she is alone, she often can't suppress the pain in her heart, and can only vent her heart-rending crying.
Fortunately, the doctors quickly performed surgery on Sun Feihu and successfully removed the lesion. After the operation, Dai Huiyao took her husband back to his home to recuperate. At home, Dai Huiyao did her best to take care of Sun Feihu's daily life and insisted that he quit smoking.
During this time, although many events and performances sent warm invitations to Sun Feihu, he declined them one by one, only on those extremely important occasions, he would reluctantly attend, and at this time, Dai Huiyao would stay by her husband's side every step of the way, taking care of all his needs.
Under Dai Huiyao's careful care, Sun Feihu's condition was temporarily controlled. However, who would have predicted that after the Spring Festival in 2014, cancer would once again rage in Sun Feihu's body and begin to spread wildly.
Dai Huiyao accompanied Sun Feihu in and out of the hospital in this way, however, both parties knew in their hearts that this might be their last time, and this artistic couple who had gone through ups and downs together had to face the test of life and death again and fight to the death against fate.
Finally, on the afternoon of November 22, 2014, Sun Feihu, who died at the age of 73, died suddenly in the ancient city of Xi'an, leaving his beloved wife and the beautiful world forever. And Dai Huiyao, who is only 61 years old, has already become a lonely widow who is over the age of six, burdened with endless grief of losing her husband.
