In my lifetime, I am happy to meet you, please click "Follow", thank you for your support.
On November 21, 2014, when the sunlight shone through the window on the white bed of the hospital, Wang Kun, who had been sleeping for a long time, miraculously regained consciousness! It turned out that before that, she had fallen into a deep coma, and even her heartbeat was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.
However, at this moment, she felt her son Zhou Yue's tear-filled eyes and trembling hands, he held his mother's hand tightly, choked up and said a sentence that moved everyone: "Mom, I love you deeply!" Immediately afterwards, the eldest son Zhou Qiyue also stepped forward to hold his mother's hand and said affectionately: "Mom, my love for you is as deep as ever."
Perhaps touched by this great family affection, Wang Kun's heart monitor showed that her heartbeat jumped suddenly at this moment! Although it only lasted for a short period of five or six seconds, for Wang Kun, this was undoubtedly a miracle in his life.
At the end of her life, she finally heard the sincere love of her sons for her, and the long-standing estrangement between mother and son also disappeared at this moment, replaced by endless family affection.
In the last days of his life, Wang Kun's mind echoed his brilliant and full of twists and turns. She remembered the love of her mother Duan Mingzhu in her childhood, the difficult years when she was forced to flee with her family when she was 13 years old, and the eventful years when she joined the anti-Japanese army at the age of 18 and boosted morale with her loud singing.
She recalled more clearly the loving past with her husband Zhou Weizhi, how the talented musician saw and appreciated her talent; How did they meet and fall in love, and finally entered the marriage hall, sharing weal and woe in the arduous anti-Japanese war environment, and moving forward hand in hand.
She also remembered the peak of her career, successfully portrayed the role of "Xi'er" in the classic opera "The White-Haired Girl", became the well-known first generation of "Xi'er", and was fortunate to enter the Central Conservatory of Music for further study, becoming the pride of the academy.
However, it was during those busy years that the two sons came into the world one after another, but they could only be handed over to the care of the nanny, and the relationship between the mother and son was not fully cultivated.
These precious memories flashed in Wang Kun's mind one by one like movie pictures, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help but glisten with tears. Although she has made great efforts for the country and her cause, she also feels deeply guilty because she did not give enough love to her family and children.
Fortunately, at the last moment of her life, her sons came to her side and dissolved the knot of her heart for many years with the most sincere love, allowing her to leave this world peacefully without regrets.
Ms. Wang Kun was born in 1925 in an ordinary farming family in Hebei Province, and her ancestors have been diligent and honest farmers for generations. In that conservative and closed era, women's access to education was scarce, and some deep-rooted traditional beliefs made women suffer from many unfair treatments.
However, Wang Kun's mother, Ms. Duan Mingzhu, is an outstanding woman who dares to challenge old habits. She resolutely resisted the bad habit of binding her daughter's feet, allowing Wang Kun to grow up freely, and personally led the children to confidently shuttle through the streets and alleys.
Every temple fair or major festival, Duan Mingzhu will always hold Wang Kun's immature hands tightly and accompany her to enjoy the drama performance. Looking at the skilled actors on the stage, Wang Kun's eyes are always shining, and every time she finishes watching, those touching melodies will echo in her mind, and then chant softly.
At this time, the attentive and considerate mother will accompany her to the beat, and the mother and daughter will stroll home so happily, and that time seems so warm and beautiful.
Unfortunately, this happy life did not last long, and in 1938, the smoke of war filled the country. Wang Kun, who was only 13 years old, had to leave his hometown accompanied by his family and began a long and arduous career of escape.
Despite the hardships of life, she remained true to her love of music. On the contrary, it was in that special historical period that she resolutely devoted herself to the great cause of resisting Japan and saving the country, joined a heroic and fearless self-defense force, and inspired the fighting spirit of the soldiers with her high-pitched and passionate singing.
Despite her young age, Wang Kun has already shown extraordinary talent, and her powerful voice has spread widely among the troops, becoming a household name.
Whenever the team marched, Wang Kun's singing was like a spring breeze, soothing the homesickness and loneliness of the soldiers.
In 1943, Wang Kun, who was only 18 years old, and Zhou Weizhi, who was 27 years old, held a simple and warm wedding. The bride and groom are wearing bright red flowers on their chests, and their faces are depicted with shy and sweet smiles.
Since then, this pair of talented and beautiful women have been married and have joined hands to embark on a new journey in life.
Before the joy of the wedding dissipated, Zhou Weizhi received an urgent order from his superiors, which meant that he was urgently needed to lead the troops on the journey back to Yan'an. In order to avoid leaking their whereabouts, they had to choose to travel on foot, which was more than 2,000 miles, which was undoubtedly a severe test!
However, in the face of such a harsh environment, Wang Kun did not hesitate at all, she decisively fastened her belt, tied her hair behind her head, carefully took care of their bags overnight, and unswervingly followed her husband's footsteps.
In this way, the young Wang Kun began her challenging and passionate career in the Anti-Japanese War. The conditions were so simple that they could only use a wooden bench, a few patchwork planks to build a simple table, and an open field, so they used it as a temporary sound practice room.
Due to the lack of supplies, they could only use the cigarette packs they had picked up to record musical notes. Despite the difficult environment, Zhou Weizhi's enthusiastic pursuit and unremitting efforts in the music career deeply moved Wang Kun.
Her admiration for this mentor quickly sublimated into deep love.
Time flies, and the two support each other in the predicament and spend it together. Despite the difficulties of life, Zhou Weizhi used practical actions to interpret what it means to be persistent in his career.
Even on the sickbed, he still immersed himself in the pile of documents, reviewing manuscripts bit by bit, and devoted himself to his work. Seeing her husband's unremitting pursuit of music, Wang Kun also ignited a passion for art, and they decided to postpone their birth plan and devote themselves to career development.
So, the talented couple went hand in hand, toiling in those turbulent times, using the power of music to soothe the hearts and minds of people in times of war.
Their deeds have become a good story that inspires countless people to forge ahead, and are respected by future generations as a model of professionalism.
With the birth of New China, Wang Kun's career ushered in a new peak. She followed the pulse of the times and entered the Central Conservatory of Music to receive a higher level of education and constantly improve her artistic accomplishment.
Due to his heavy academic workload, Wang Kun often needs weeks or even months to find time to return home to see his loved ones. Time is like an arrow, and his son Zhou Qiyue has entered primary school life, but he can reunite with his mother is very rare.
Whenever Zhou Weizhi was touched by the deep longing for his mother and tears couldn't help but slide down his face, Zhou Weizhi would always take out the long-cherished photo of Wang Kun, tell the beautiful time of mother and son with affection, and lead his son to gaze at the photo with enthusiasm, as if in this way he could let go of the filial son feel the warmth of his mother's arms.
After a long time, Zhou Qiyue mistakenly thought that his mother existed in this small photo, and whenever he missed his mother, he would carefully and softly call the word "mother".
During the period when Wang Kun's career was thriving, she was awarded the high-profile protagonist of "Xi'er" in the classic opera "The White-Haired Girl". In order to present the most perfect audio-visual feast to the audience, she rehearsed diligently day and night, lit dim kerosene lamps at night, flipped through materials, and carefully recorded her in-depth understanding and emotional perception of the role.
At that time, Wang Kun devoted himself to the endless challenges of work, and his pursuit of career was endless. In the end, under her superb performance, the revolutionary classic "The White-Haired Girl" was successfully staged, and Wang Kun became the eternal symbol of the first generation of "Xi'er", and this role left an indelible and profound mark in the hearts of the audience.
However, just when Wang Kun's career was in full swing, her sons Zhou Qiyue and Zhou Yue also came to the world one after another. Regrettably, because Wang Kun's work is too busy, the two young children can only be taken care of by a nanny.
The youngest son, Zhou Yue, recalls that in the depths of his memory, their home was like a hotel or a canteen, and his mother always brought back the students in a steady stream, cooked delicious meals for them, taught them singing skills, and even generously gave them pocket money.
However, Wang Kun seems to be indifferent and ruthless towards his own flesh and blood, and has never been as considerate and caring as he is to those students.
It was at this critical moment that Wang Kun devoted a lot of energy to the vigorous development of his career, so much so that he neglected his responsibilities as a mother. Despite her glitter and striking presence on stage, her image at home is as blurred as a stranger.
The family affection between mother and son naturally faded away, and all kinds of estrangement and estrangement continued to accumulate during this time, until it finally broke out into an irreparable tragedy.
