A handsome guy who changed his job and fell in love with a divorced female colleague with a baby
In 1965, a new photographer came to Beijing TV, a handsome, straight, and cheerful demobilized soldier, who quickly got along with everyone.
When he learned that the guy had never been married, many colleagues were willing to be a matchmaker for him and introduce some young girls with good relationships around him to him, but surprisingly, he repeatedly rejected everyone's kindness.
So many people speculated that he might have rejected the object of everyone's introduction because there was a beloved girl in Macheng's hometown, but what they didn't expect was that the young man had fallen in love with a female colleague early on, but he was just ashamed to speak.
Because this female colleague was not only a full 14 years older than him, but also divorced from her husband and lived alone with 3 children, it was absolutely impossible for them to be between them in that conservative era at that time.
But the young man has a good impression of him in daily contact, because her work ability and fiery personality are very fascinating, not to mention that she is also from Macheng, Hubei, which also makes the two more intimate.
So after the Spring Festival in 1967, he found out that his female colleagues liked Macheng's bacon very much, so he took the opportunity to go home to visit relatives to give bacon to his female colleagues, and bravely expressed his love to his female colleagues.
But what he didn't expect was that the female colleague was so frightened after listening to his words that she even stuffed the bacon back into his arms and left in a hurry, which also made the guy feel a huge sense of frustration for the first time.
This handsome guy who failed to confess is Wang Chongqiu, and the object of his confession is the famous director Yang Jie in the future.
And the reason why Yang Jie rejected him so urgently was because her last failed marriage brought her great harm, and she couldn't even get out of it for a while, so what kind of marriage did she experience?
The ignorant flower season met an elegant scholar, but was rubbed away by firewood, rice, oil and salt
Yang Jie's first husband was named Zhou Chuanji, he was a rich son from a famous family, and later taught at the Beijing Film Academy, and also taught top directors such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige.
The encounter between the two started with Yang Jie's first job, after the liberation of Qingdao, she has been working as an announcer at Qingdao Radio and Television Station, and even the first communication of Qingdao liberation was broadcast by her to the people of the whole country.
After that, she also became the pillar of the station, and any important news would be handed over to her to broadcast, so her voice was also familiar to many Qingdao people, and she also became the object of crush of countless guys.
In 1950, Zhou Chuanji, who had just graduated from university, was assigned to work at Qingdao Radio and Television Station, and he could speak foreign languages, play the violin and be a very gentleman, so he quickly attracted the favor of many little girls, including Yang Jie, who was ignorant of the flower season.
Zhou Chuanji also has a soft spot for this little girl, after all, the latter's voice is sweet and powerful, and his style of work is also very charming, so the two people who are in love soon get together.
In 1951, they received their marriage certificate with the blessings of relatives and friends, and then gave birth to three children, and the family lived happily.
But this happiness and warmth are only built on romance, and soon dissipate like rootless duckweed, and the contradictions between the two are more and more under the grinding of trivial things in life and the collision of diametrically opposed personalities.
In 1953, director Yang Jie was no longer suitable to be an announcer because of a serious illness, so the organization decided to transfer her to Beijing Radio Station to work behind the scenes, while her husband Zhou Chuanji stayed in Qingdao, and the increase in distance also made the relationship between the two more and more distant.
In 1958, Zhou Chuanji was transferred to Beijing with his own ability, and when the two planned to solve all the contradictions and live a good life, Zhou Chuanji suddenly encountered unfair treatment, and his work and reputation were greatly affected.
As an intellectual, he couldn't adapt to being respected for a while, from being respected to being excluded, his temper became irritable when he was full of anger and had nowhere to release, his family became his innocent punching bag, and his three children were often scolded and cried by him.
Director Yang Jie didn't want to see her children living in such a depressing environment, so she decisively chose to divorce her husband in 1963 and pulled her three children to grow up alone.
This failed experience made her no longer have extravagant hopes for marriage and love, and the age gap with Wang Chongqiu was too big, so she decisively rejected the other party's show of love, but she didn't expect the latter to be so persevering.
insisted on impressing Yang Jie, and the husband and wife walked hand in hand for 48 years
Although Wang Chongqiu was rejected by Yang Jie, he was not willing to give up, but decided that she would be his wife, so he asked the people around him how to write love letters, and at the same time, he would often appear at Yang Jie's house for various reasons to help her do dirty work.
He treats Director Yang's three children as his own, not only helping them with their homework but also taking them to play. Slowly, he relied on his sincerity to impress director Yang Jie, so in 1969, they stepped into the marriage hall amid the doubts and incomprehension of relatives and friends.
After marriage, Wang Chongqiu did not work against Director Yang Jie everywhere like Zhou Chuanji, he knew his wife's hot temper, so he humbled her everywhere, whether it was work or life, she was the mainstay, and he was also willing to be a "strict wife".
In the 70s of the 20th century, TV series began to become popular in the mainland, and Director Yang and his wife collaborated together on works such as "Hundred Flowers" and "Laoshan Taoist".
In 1982, when CCTV decided to put "Journey to the West" on the screen, Director Yang also handed over the only camera of the crew to her most trusted husband.
And Wang Chongqiu also lived up to her heavy responsibility, in that era when there were no special effects, he completed the shooting task with almost perfect shooting techniques, and he was injured many times during this period.
Not only was he knocked unconscious by the sand monk who was broken by Weiya, but he was bitten by a poisonous horse fly and suffered from vitiligo, but seeing his wife busy every day for filming progress and sponsorship, he never cried out bitterly.
Later, the TV series was a great success, and his wife became a high-profile star director, but he was still just an unknown photographer.
In 2013, Director Yang began to write memoirs, and Wang Chongqiu not only accompanied her to create, but also took the initiative to find materials and proofread, and finally successfully published two works, "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is" and "Yang Jie's Self-Statement".
In 2017, director Yang Jie was seriously ill, and at the age of 74, he not only accompanied him in the hospital, but even slept on the recliner outside the hospital bed at night, so that he could arrive as soon as his wife had a situation.
Despite his efforts to take care of his wife, 88-year-old Director Yang passed away on April 15, 2017, which also made him painful, and he wrote all his thoughts into "Missing My Wife Yang Jie", which also made many people who read it cry.
Now Director Yang has passed away for 7 years, and Wang Chongqiu is 81 years old, but he doesn't want to trouble others to insist on living alone, living in his and Director Yang's house, buying vegetables, cooking, walking, and only going to his daughter's house on holidays to enjoy the joy of family.
Epilogue:
Director Yang and Wang Chongqiu have gone through 48 years of happiness hand in hand, and have also achieved a large number of classic film and television works such as "Journey to the West" and "Zhu Yuanzhang", and their marriage has gone from being ununderstood and optimistic to becoming a perfect love that countless people envy.
Today's director Yang Jie went to heaven without any regrets, hoping that Mr. Wang Chongqiu, who has always loved her deeply, can take care of her health and live a long life.
