1. Reminiscing about Zhang Ye's legendary chapter of life
Zhang Ye, an artist with a high reputation in the art world, does not need to be repeated for her brilliant achievements. She was born into a family full of artistic atmosphere, her mother is an acclaimed actress, and her father is a veteran screenwriter who knows the art of screenwriting.
Under the influence of such a superior family environment, Zhang also showed extraordinary musical talent since he was a child.
At the age of seven, Zhang was already able to learn to sing opera with his mother. Whenever her crisp and melodious voice echoes in the home, it always touches people's deep emotions. The mother was keenly aware of her daughter's unique talent, so she began to teach carefully, and made every effort to tap and cultivate Zhang's potential in the field of singing.
At first, her mother didn't want Zhang to devote herself to an artistic career, because she knew the hardships of life as an artist. The mother expects her daughter to choose a stable and decent career, such as becoming an honorable people's teacher.
However, Zhang Ye was born with a tough personality, and on the occasion of the high school entrance examination, she resolutely applied for the art performance class despite the opposition of her parents.
After learning about this, his parents were naturally furious and blamed Zhang for being too willful. However, at this point, they can only comply with their daughter's decision. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ye was successfully admitted to a key art school after only passing a simple interview, which undoubtedly further strengthened her love and pursuit of art.
Facts have proved that during his time in school, Zhang is like a dazzling new star, not only with outstanding academic achievements, but also with beautiful looks and outstanding temperament. Whether it is various cultural activities held in the school or performance competitions outside the school, Zhang has always played the leading role in solo singing, as if the whole school has become her stage.
Her outstanding performance soon attracted the attention of several masters of the arts, who passed on their valuable stage experience and skills to Zhang Ye.
In college, Zhang also became famous in the campus singing contest and quickly emerged. In 1987, the invitation to the Spring Festival Gala came as scheduled, and this incomparably precious honor befell her.
Since then, Zhang has also become a "frequent guest of the Spring Festival Gala", showing his talent and charm on the stage.
2. Exclamations and exclamations in the emotional world
Zhang Ye, who is in the prime of his career, is also wonderful in the emotional world. At the peak of her career, she met Zhang Xing, an outstanding man who was 6 years older than herself.
Because of the frequent cooperative relationship, they gradually sharpened the perfect synergy Zhang Ye set his eyes on this down-to-earth and diligent man, and his good impression of him began to grow quietly.
As time passed, both parties deeply believed that the other was the one who pinned their endless thoughts. In her spare time, Zhang Ye will always snuggle up to Zhang Xing and pour out her heart with her unique soft voice; And Zhang Xing stared at her affectionately, his eyes full of endless pity.
Everyone witnessed this scene and speculated that they were about to enter the marriage hall.
However, fate always likes to play tricks on people, and just as they are immersed in sweet love, a catastrophic news suddenly comes - Zhang Ye's father has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and is in extremely serious condition.
Hearing the news, Zhang Ye was like a thunderbolt from the sky, tears poured out like a, she did not hesitate to cancel all work plans, and rushed back to her hometown overnight to accompany her father, never leaving.
Just three years later, Zhang Ye's father died suddenly, leaving this noisy world. The mother also fell into severe depression due to the death of her husband, immersed in grief every day and night, and almost lost her confidence in life.
Faced with the death of his loved one, Zhang also endured great grief alone, and he couldn't find a confidant to talk to.
During this low point in her life, Zhang also met Lu Jihong, who later became her soul mate. Lu Jihong, who is 8 years older than Zhang Ye, often visits her after learning that she has suffered a family upheaval and cares about her living situation.
Seeing that Zhang was becoming more and more depressed and decadent, Lu Jihong often invited her to his home as a guest and cooked delicious dishes with his own hands, hoping to stimulate her enthusiasm for life.
Since then, the two have gradually developed a deep friendship and become confidants who talk about everything.
3. Heated discussions and speculations from the outside world
The intimacy between them has sparked heated discussions and speculations from the outside world. During a condolence performance on a trip to Fujian, they were captured by some sweet moments by enthusiastic fans.
Zhang and Lu Jihong in the photo are either smiling at each other, or holding hands, like a loving couple.
Whether it is in the process of making dumplings together, or between the tedious housework, the two of them always snuggle up closely, and the intimate and warm emotions make the waiters at the restaurant can't help but be moved and their cheeks flush.
Whenever Zhang is also tasting food, if the food accidentally stains the corners of his mouth, Lu Jihong can always tacitly wipe it carefully for her; And when Zhang is also coquettish and playful, Lu Jihong will stare at her dotingly, with a smile on his face, their eyes meet and their meticulous manners, all revealing a deep love atmosphere, such a warm and touching picture, I believe that any witnesses will mistakenly think that they have long been an old couple who have spent the wind and rain together.
What's even more striking is that at the recording site of a certain program in 2021, when the two of them appeared on the stage at the same time, they wore the same style of clothing, held hands, and walked lightly towards the audience, and the audience instantly burst into warm applause and cheers.
Seeing this scene, the host immediately humorously ridiculed: "Is the jacket pocket on Lu Jihong's body cut from Zhang Ye's skirt?" Such a bold and straightforward joke made the atmosphere of the scene suddenly lighten up.
In the face of the host's humorous ridicule, Zhang Ye and Lu Jihong did not show the slightest embarrassment or dissatisfaction, but responded with a smile. However, it was this simple eye contact that deepened the doubts in the hearts of the audience and staff.
Many netizens have left messages saying that watching their intimate interaction, they seem to feel that they have been an old husband and wife for many years, and some people jokingly asked: "What are you two hiding?" The atmosphere was surrounded by laughter for a while.
Fourth, time flies, and the mood is precipitated
Hearing that Lu Jihong made such a firm commitment, the scene fell silent for a while. However, soon after, some netizens expressed their understanding and support. Someone commented: "Lu Jihong's statement is actually quite good, maintaining a relationship between friends and lovers avoids the possibility of breaking up."
Indeed, perhaps for Zhang Ye and Lu Jihong, who are over half a hundred years old, the value of life has surpassed the shackles of marriage, as confidants and friends who have known each other for decades, they can support each other all the way to today, for them may be enough to satisfy friendship more than love, perhaps this is the reason why they choose this lifestyle.
Time flies, and in an instant we see that Zhang, who is 55 years old, is about to enter the city, but those who know her well know that she is still alone through the years. Lu Jihong, who is also an elderly man, has accompanied Zhang Ye for decades, and is now 62 years old.
These people, who have been bathed in the brilliance of happiness, have chosen a celibate lifestyle in the passage of time, and behind the calm state of life lies a firm belief in their hearts.
They live so openly and comfortably, as if they have become a model for old age.
Whenever we witness them traveling together or gathering together, they always gather together, and it seems to form a beautiful landscape, like a loving couple.
However, if you look closely, you will find that there are few overly intimate actions between them, more of a laughing and scolding between friends, and teasing each other about this friendship that transcends love, but makes people feel a purer happiness.
Fifth, the different embodiment of the value of life
In fact, everyone has their own unique understanding and interpretation of the value of life. Some people regard their careers as the focus of their lives, some people are intoxicated with the sweetness of love, some people stick to the warmth of family affection, and some people just want to enjoy a free and easy life.
For Zhang Ye and Lu Jihong, two old friends, they undoubtedly chose the latter as the main theme of their lives.
In their eyes, marriage is an important stop in their life's journey, but it is by no means the whole story. Sometimes, friendship is more enduring and innocent than love, and more relaxed than family affection.
Looking back at Zhang Ye's experience when she was young, we can see that she has suffered countless setbacks and blows. The first was the breakdown of the relationship with his sweetheart Zhang Xing, followed by the untimely death of his father, and his mother fell into depression.
An originally happy family fell apart in an instant, and Zhang once fell into despair and could not regain his confidence in life.
At that difficult moment, Lu Jihong, a close friend, stepped forward and cooked food for her himself, awakening her desire for life with delicious food. Since then, their relationship has grown stronger and stronger, and they have become confidants who talk about everything.
As time passed, Zhang Ye and Lu Jihong's friendship became deeper and deeper. Although many people mistakenly think that they are a loving couple, they know in their hearts that each other is more of a pure friendship than love.
Zhang also often lamented that during the days when she worked with Lu Jihong, she didn't need to hide her true emotions at all, nor did she need to trouble covering up or disguising herself. Because Lu Jihong has a deep understanding of her and insight into the secrets of her heart.
Her seemingly accidental, chaotic little faults and the coquettish habits that she often expressed to him were deeply remembered by Lu Jihong.
The two of them can talk freely about everything in the world, or they can laugh and scold without any worries, and there has never been any estrangement between them.
This kind of friendship that goes deep into the bone marrow is often longer and stronger than ordinary love relationships. It is true that there will be disputes between friends, but there will never be such a cruel word as breaking up.
In this way, they supported each other and confided their hearts to each other until they entered their old age, which was enough for Zhang Ye and Lu Jihong to make them feel extremely happy.
