In 2018, in a high-profile TV entertainment program, Mr. He Qingkui's face looked quite sad, and he slowly said: "Gao Xiumin, for me, has extraordinary special significance. ”
In the face of this situation, the host of the scene was not surprised, and asked about the deep emotional bond between He Qingkui and Gao Xiumin in a guided manner.
At this time, He Qingkui's face was solemn, and he gasped painfully, falling into that distant and profound memory.
"Gao Xiumin has played a crucial role in my life, she is so kind, brave and so intelligent, she can be called an outstanding artist." When talking about Gao Xiumin, He Qingkui's voice was full of grief. "Her loss is like a heavy hammer that I will never forget."
Immediately afterwards, He Qingkui publicly revealed a shocking secret: "She finally told me a white lie, just to not worry me." These words undoubtedly made the audience more curious and inquisitive about the character of Gao Xiumin.
He Qingkui's words are like a clue, outlining the twists and turns of Gao Xiumin's life, leading the audience into a magnificent legendary story.
Back in the early 80s of the last century, Gao Xiumin was just a little-known small theater actor. Although her two-person performance skills are superb and her line skills are profound, she has never been able to join the formal literary team because she is too thin.
However, the goddess of fate gave Gao Xiumin a huge surprise when she was about to give up her dream.
After giving birth to a child, Gao Xiumin's figure gradually became plump, which just met the selection criteria of the art troupe. As a result, Gao Xiumin finally got her wish and joined a long-established art troupe and began a new chapter in her career.
During her years in the art troupe, she worked hard and won many honors, and her reputation gradually spread in the local area. One day, Gao Xiumin unexpectedly met He Qingkui, who had worked with him, and found that the former rising star of the literary world has now been reduced to a street vendor and lives a hard life.
Out of cherishing talents, Gao Xiumin did not hesitate to recruit He Qingkui into the art troupe. As expected, under the influence of the atmosphere of the art troupe, He Qingkui rediscovered his past creative inspiration, and the two jointly created many popular classic works, including the masterpiece "Who Marries Whom".
The two artists gradually warmed up their emotions in the daily day and night together, and finally chose to hold hands and walk into this romantic story that was not favored by everyone. Although there was no formal marriage ceremony, Gao Xiumin and He Qingkui supported each other in work and daily life, and became a veritable "golden partner".
With his otherworldly creative style, Gao Xiumin has been on the big stage of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala many times, and together with the outstanding Zhao Benshan and the scheming Fan Wei, he has performed countless well-talked about masterpieces, such as "Selling Abduction", "Heart Disease", "Selling Cars", etc., which are deeply loved by the audience and are respected as the "Golden Iron Triangle".
In that traditional era of male superiority and inferiority of women, Gao Xiumin's talent was no less than that of Zhao Benshan and Fan Wei, two sketch masters. The three of them tacitly cooperated, seamlessly connected, and created classic moments that made people laugh on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
However, no one expected that the former "Golden Triangle" combination would end up falling apart. The turning point for it all began in 2003 with an intense rehearsal.
The atmosphere was tense. Zhao Benshan and Fan Wei were already ready to go backstage, but Gao Xiumin was unable to show up.
Zhao Benshan was speechless for a while, and was about to explain to everyone when Gao Xiumin's phone suddenly rang. Gao Xiumin told Zhao Benshan that a friend of hers suddenly fell ill and urgently needed her to take care of her.
However, the director team turned a deaf ear to this, severely accusing Gao Xiumin of dereliction of duty, and even threatened to cancel the performance of the show in front of everyone.
Zhao Benshan was furious and scolded Gao Xiumin for not being able to do his job. Gao Xiumin on the other end of the phone was obviously enraged. She never imagined that her former partner would become so aggressive, competitive, and so herself.
Since then, the relationship between the two has quickly plummeted to freezing point. Although there were still several collaborations after that, Gao Xiumin only reluctantly participated in them out of respect for Fan Wei.
The "Golden Iron Triangle" combination of that year regrettably disintegrated.
The contradiction between Gao Xiumin and Zhao Benshan can actually be traced back to earlier. With the wonderful appearance of the trio's sketches at the Spring Festival Gala, their popularity and income have also risen.
However, the issue of income distribution has always been a hard bone between Gao Xiumin and Zhao Benshan, and it is difficult for the two sides to reach a consensus.
Zhao Benshan performed as the main role, so that a considerable proportion of his income became part of his personal wealth, and the rest was distributed to actors Gao Xiumin and Fan Wei on the same stage. However, in the face of such unfair treatment, Gao Xiumin was deeply indignant, so he buried a deep contradiction between the two.
It wasn't until the fierce dispute broke out during the rehearsal of that beautiful drama that Gao Xiumin's patience reached the limit, and she resolutely decided to break with Zhao Benshan and leave the stage of the once glorious "Golden Iron Triangle".
When the grievances and hatred between Gao Xiumin and Zhao Benshan became the focus of attention, a series of more shocking events were quietly fermenting in the dark.
In 2005, it was widely believed that Gao Xiumin and He Qingkui, as usual, were focusing on their careers in different places. However, the lives of the once-"golden partners" have actually fallen into trouble.
In that year, He Qingkui's eldest son, He Shuchun, suffered a serious car accident and eventually passed away. This sudden bad news brought a great blow to He Qingkui.
As a father, the pain in his heart is beyond words. However, surprisingly, He Qingkui did not reveal this cruel reality to Gao Xiumin, but chose to hide it.
It turned out that He Qingkui was out of concern for Gao Xiumin and didn't want her to be distracted by this incident and affect her work and physical and mental health, so he weaved a white lie and told Gao Xiumin that He Shuchun was only slightly injured and needed him to take care of him.
Although Gao Xiumin seemed to have learned the truth from He Qingkui's assistant, she repeatedly told He Qingkui to take good care of He Shuchun. However, whether she already knew the truth or not, He Qingkui never responded to her positively.
Just two weeks after He Shuchun's death, He Qingkui tried to call Gao Xiumin's phone again, but found that he could not get through. Just when he was anxious, an even more shocking news came - Gao Xiumin died of a heart attack.
In less than two weeks, He Qingkui lost two relatives, which undoubtedly brought him a heavy blow. However, in the endless grief, He Qingkui finally understood why Gao Xiumin would hide his illness from him.
Wow! As early as when He Qingkui and Gao Xiumin were separated from each other for heavy filming work, Gao Xiumin's physical condition was already extremely worrying, and he often fainted due to physical exhaustion.
However, every time He Qingkui asked about his condition with concern, Gao Xiumin only expressed lightly, saying that these symptoms were just minor problems and could recover with a little rest.
What is thought-provoking is that her original intention of doing this turned out to be the same as He Qingkui's motive at the beginning - they both chose to hide the truth to avoid worrying each other.
However, this white lie still caused a regrettable ending that the two could not rely on each other at the last moment of their lives.
