Preface
The sun of New China is rising, can it illuminate everyone's future?
With this question, let's walk into the little-known sad and joyful fate of singer Ma Guoguang and his wife Lu Zuli.
Childhood: Displacement in the shadow of war
In 1938, the war of aggression against China was in full swing.
In this year, Ma Guoguang, who was only 6 years old, suffered the first major blow in his life.
His father, Ma Dingchen, a soldier who served as an adjutant under Zhang Xueliang, abandoned his mother Huang Huazhen because of an extramarital affair.
Huang Huazhen had no choice but to take her young son to look for a husband, and during this period, she was even reduced to selling blood to make a living.
In despair, Huang Huazhen finally found Ma Dingchen, but was ruthlessly driven away by Ma Dingchen.
Ma Guoguang was forced to part with his mother in this way.
Ma Guoguang, who lost the protection of his mother's love, was bullied in his father's and stepmother's homes, and lived a life that was inferior to that of cattle and horses.
At the age of 7, in the dead of night, he would always secretly recall his mother's voice and smile, and depict her appearance over and over again on the paper, and his young face was wet with tears.
9 years old: Escape from domestic violence and start a wandering career
Ma Guoguang finally chose to run away from home.
At the age of 9, he made a living alone in war-torn China and became a street child.
He was unkempt and poorly clothed, and was once taken by the Japanese to work as a coolie.
Once, he managed to escape from the tiger's mouth, but on the way to escape, he met another Japanese soldier, Mazuo Yamaki.
Who knew that this Japanese soldier who could speak Chinese was not a villain.
The war caused him to lose his son, and he loved Ma Guoguang, so that Ma Guoguang experienced his father's love for the first time.
Under the protection of Shan Mu, Ma Guoguang was able to go to school and have a relatively stable life.
Yamaki often muttered about his hatred of war, which made Ma Guoguang understand that suffering knows no borders, but peace is what all beings want.
New China: Join the army and be reborn from the ashes
In 1945, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Yamaki returned to Japan.
Although Ma Guoguang lost his asylum, he was determined to contribute to the new China.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, Ma Guoguang joined the army and became a correspondent, starting a new life.
Ma Guoguang was wounded when he moved to the Yalu River, but he did not back down.
After recovering from his injury, he joined the Art Troupe of the North China Military Region and started his singing career with his outstanding singing voice.
Based on his own personal experience, he composed touching songs one after another, singing about the suffering and glory of thousands of Chinese.
Love Lu Zuli: Break through rumors and work together for a lifetime
The establishment of New China not only gave Ma Guoguang a new life, but also allowed him to gain sincere love.
Lu Zuli, who came from a family of intellectuals in Beijing, ignored the gossip of the people around him and tied the knot with Ma Guoguang, who was born at the bottom.
They fell in love with each other, and soon had two lovely daughters, Lan Lan and Lang Lang.
Lu Zuli is not only Ma Guoguang's wife, but also his intimate partner in life.
With her encouragement, Ma Guoguang searched everywhere for the whereabouts of his benefactor Shanmu and mother Huang Huazhen.
The hard work paid off, and in 1980, Ma Guoguang finally reunited with Shan Mu.
After 35 years, the 70-year-old Shanmu traveled thousands of miles to reunite with Ma Guoguang in China accompanied by his daughter.
Three years later, Ma Guoguang also found his long-lost mother and fulfilled his "dream of finding his mother".
Untimely death: God is jealous of the talent, and the wife falls into grief
Ma Guoguang, who has a bumper harvest in career and love, failed to treat his body well.
The heavy work caused him to fall ill, high blood pressure and diabetes.
In November 1989, Ma Guoguang, who was only 57 years old, died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, leaving behind his wife Lu Zuli and two daughters.
Ma Guoguang's sudden death was a big blow in Lu Zuli's life.
She was grief-stricken, but she still had to cheer up her daughter, and while raising her daughter, she began to write a biography of Ma Guoguang to continue Ma Guoguang's life.
In 2011, Lu Zuli's brainchild "Piercing the Sky is Not Broken" was finally released, telling the ups and downs of Ma Guoguang's life.
Family misfortune: the eldest daughter dies and the younger daughter emigrates
However, the god of fate did not let Lu Zuli go.
In 2016, her eldest daughter Ma Langlang passed away due to illness.
Ma Guoguang is in the spirit of the sky, and he can't bear to see his wife so sad.
Lu Zuli, who lost his daughter, was so desperate that he almost gave up his life.
Fortunately, there is still a little daughter by her side to comfort.
Who knew that soon, the youngest daughter also decided to immigrate and settle abroad.
Lu Zuli was helpless, but he still chose to stay in China and guard the hot land where his beloved was laid to rest.
epilogue
Ma Guoguang's life is a microcosm of the suffering of old China, and it is also a portrayal of the struggle of new China.
War, chaos, and poverty failed to crush his belief in pursuing a better life.
Lu Zuli's dedication to love and family affection is moving.
Although their life path is bumpy, they have forged an indomitable soul.
We have no way of knowing what kind of beautiful singing Ma Guoguang would have sung if he had lived to this day; And if Lu Zuli could always be with his daughter in his later years, would he not be so sad.
However, one thing is certain, New China has given Ma Guoguang a chance to be reborn, and has also extended a helping hand to countless ordinary people like him who have suffered a lot.
I hope that the stories of Ma Guoguang and Lu Zuli can enlighten people in difficulty: as long as you have hope, you will eventually see the sunshine.
