As Bai Yansheng, who is known as the "leader of domestic opera hosts", his love and dedication to the art of opera are incomparable. He is proficient in Peking Opera, Huangmei Opera, Henan Opera, Hebei Bangzi and many other operas, and is also well aware of the unique charm of more than 80 operas across the country.
It is with this outstanding talent that he has served as the host of the CCTV Spring Festival Opera Gala for 16 consecutive times, and in 2007, he was awarded the position of chief director of the CCTV Opera Spring Festival Gala.
However, Bai's success is not limited to the stage. In the emotional world, he also wrote a touching love poem. In 1999, his beloved Zhou Jia was unfortunately seriously injured and was assessed as a sixth-grade disability.
Faced with the cruel reality that his wife may be disabled for life, the heartbroken Bai Yansheng did not choose to escape, but guarded her with firm faith and endless love "Even if you are paralyzed in bed, I will accompany you through every day and night" This affectionate sentence is undoubtedly the best interpretation of his sincere love for his wife.
Indeed, Bai Yansheng, who is praised as the "national player" in the hosting industry, has not only made brilliant achievements in his career, but also demonstrated the responsibility and responsibility of a man in family life.
Let's take a closer look at the brilliant life of the first person to host CCTV, feel how he seeks the perfect balance between career and family, and how he touches the hearts of thousands of viewers with love and courage.
2. Cause: His wife Zhou Jia was seriously injured, and Bai Yansheng vowed to stay together for the rest of his life
On June 6, 1999, a sudden disaster befell Bai Yansheng and his wife Zhou Jia. On that day, they were eating out, but just as Zhou Jia got out of the car, he accidentally tripped over a long skirt, resulting in a serious femoral neck fracture.
Faced with the heavy blow of his wife's possible lifelong disability, Bai Yansheng's heart seemed to be shattered, while Zhou Jia was in tears. In the hospital room, his wife tearfully told him: "I'm afraid I'm going to be paralyzed, I don't want to be a burden to you, let's separate."
”。
Faced with the pain of his wife's torture, Bai Yansheng responded solemnly: "The actual situation is not as bad as you imagined, you must be confident in yourself!" Even if you are paralyzed, I will take care of you for the rest of my life.
” 。
Bai Yansheng's meticulous love for his wife comes from the sweet and beautiful love process they once had. In the autumn of 1996, Bai Yansheng, who had just come out of the haze of broken love, met Zhou Jia, a beautiful girl from Jiangsu.
Zhou Jia, who is 1.73 meters tall, is tall and beautiful, which makes Bai Yansheng, who was originally introverted, fall in love with her at first sight.
Soon after, Zhou Jia took the initiative to launch a fierce offensive, she frequently went to Bai Yansheng's dormitory to help clean and wash clothes, and invited him to the theater to watch the film. Zhou Jia's gentleness and thoughtfulness quickly touched Bai Yansheng's heart, and the two fell in love and tied the knot in 1998.
However, what is unexpected is that just a year after the sweet time of the newlyweds, the loving couple has suffered a huge challenge in their lives.
The serious injury made Zhou Jia face the fate of lifelong disability, but Bai Yansheng did not choose to leave his wife because of this, but he vowed to take care of her with endless love.
This unwavering love will surely be transformed into a powerful force to help them overcome the difficulties on the road of life together.
3. Difficult years: the double blow of taking care of a seriously injured wife and the death of a father
Since his wife Zhou Jia was injured, Bai Yansheng's life has entered the most difficult period. He is busy working at CCTV during the day, and travels between the hospital and home at night, always by his wife's sickbed.
During that time, Bai Yansheng was under tremendous physical and mental pressure, and the double burden of work and family made him exhausted, and his weight plummeted several pounds in just one week.
However, it was the silent support of relatives that became the greatest driving force for Bai Yansheng to move forward. At that time, the ratings of his show "Addictive" continued to climb, and he received a large number of letters from viewers every week, and he insisted on personally replying to every letter.
Because he was too busy, Zhou Jia placed a small wooden board on his chest and wrote a reply on behalf of her husband, "The love and perseverance of his wife's selfless dedication deeply touched Bai Yansheng's heart and made him always keep a clear head in the predicament."
Despite the dramatic changes in his family, Bai Yansheng has not slowed down the pace of his career. He has always adhered to the stage of many well-known opera columns on CCTV, and has won the heartfelt love of many opera lovers.
At the same time, Zhou Jia, who is Bai Yansheng's wife, is also actively recovering her health. After more than half a year of careful treatment and unremitting exercise, she finally got rid of crutches and successfully walked independently.
Although she was judged to have a grade 6 disability, these setbacks did not stop her from saying goodbye to lifelong paralysis.
Just as the couple joined forces to tide over the difficulties and try to get out of the low point of life, more severe blows followed. In December 2000, Bai Yansheng suddenly received bad news from his hometown in Hebei Province and learned that his father had passed away.
He traveled to his hometown overnight, but when he arrived, only his father's tombstone was left in front of him. It turned out that his father had passed away two days ago, and before he died, he told his family not to tell Bai Yansheng, so as not to affect his work.
The serious injury of his wife and the death of his father are undoubtedly a huge blow to anyone. However, in front of his father's grave, Bai Yansheng, who has always been tenacious and unyielding, finally couldn't help but burst into tears and vented his deep grief to the fullest.
It was this unforgettable cry that made him regain the courage and strength to face life.
Fourth, the turning point: at the age of 50, he gave birth to a second child for his wife, resolving the generation gap with his daughter
After experiencing the double blow of his wife's serious injury and his father's death, Bai Yansheng's life finally saw a new dawn. That is Zhou Jia, after unremitting efforts, successfully freed himself from the shadow of the sixth-level disability.
Although the doctor had warned her that she was not suitable for childbirth due to her physical condition, Zhou Jia still resolutely chose to get pregnant.
"No matter what the risks are, I want to bring my baby into the world safely. Only in this way can our originally incomplete home become truly complete without regrets.
In the face of his wife's unwavering determination, although Bai Yansheng was full of worries, he still chose to support her wholeheartedly in the end.
Under his careful care, finally on July 16, 2005, this loving couple ushered in the crystallization of their love - their lovely daughter Baiguo.
The arrival of their daughter brought the couple endless joy and brought their shattered family back to life. However, the good times are always short-lived, and as her daughter Bai Guo gradually grows up, her rebellious personality makes her relationship with her father Bai Yansheng fall to a freezing point for a while.
In order to mend the broken family bond between father and daughter, his wife Zhou Jia once again proposed: "Why don't we try to have another baby? In this way, Guoguo can feel the warmth wrapped in love, and she will not behave so rebellious.
Faced with such a proposal, although Bai Yansheng, who was already more than half a hundred years old, was still full of doubts in his heart, when he saw the incomparably resolute look in his wife's eyes, he finally compromised.
After all, their family has come through hardships and hardships, and welcoming their second child seems to have become the inheritance and continuation of their beliefs.
So, in the cold winter of 2018, Bai Yansheng, a 50-year-old elder, with the full support of his wife and the careful care of doctors, successfully gave birth to a healthy and lovely baby boy for Zhou Jia.
The birth of a new life has brought about a huge change in Baiguo's personality, she has become more docile and sensible, and has taken the initiative to take care of her younger brother. The family is once again united, and the warm and harmonious atmosphere once again fills this once broken home.
Giving birth to a second child is by no means easy, especially for Bai Yansheng, a middle-aged man who is nearly half a hundred years old, the risks are everywhere. However, in order to maintain the harmony of the family and ensure that his children can grow up happily and worry-free, he finally bravely survived.
This determination to give everything for the family is the key to Bai Yansheng's ability to overcome the difficulties in life.
