1. Affectionately depict the last days of Xie Yuan's life, and make a decree not to hold a farewell ceremony
Time flies like a song. In 2020, 61-year-old Xie Yuan returned to the hospital due to illness. Although he finally woke up after all-out rescue efforts, the doctors ruthlessly determined that he was suffering from a serious heart disease and his physical condition was deteriorating.
Facing the end of his life, Xie Yuan's heart was surprisingly calm, without the slightest panic and uneasiness.
Lying on the sickbed, he called his wife Qiu Yue and said to her sincerely: "I have reached the twilight of my life, and the road I have traveled is rich enough, and I don't have too many regrets about life."
There is only one thing I have to entrust to you. ”
Qiu Yue bowed his head slightly, staring at his lover's old but still heroic face sincerely, and motioned for him to continue talking. Xie Yuan continued: "You know that since I was a child, I have been afraid of things about ghosts and gods, so when I actually die, you don't need to hold any kind of farewell ceremony for me.
There is no need to ask a monk to recite sutras or to take care of my body, let me leave in the purest way possible, and do not let me feel uneasy in the other world. ”
Hearing this, Qiu Yue's eyes couldn't help but redden. She clasped Xie Yuan's hands, sad but firm promise: "Okay, I will follow your wishes and take care of your last wishes with all my heart."
Xie Yuan smiled and nodded, looking at his wife with kind eyes, as if he was soothing the sadness in her heart with his eyes.
Until the last breath of his life, Xie Yuan was always concerned about how to take care of his wife's feelings, and did not want her to add trouble to himself. This thoughtful care comes from his lonely childhood and the ups and downs of his married life.
2. Xie Yuan's background and childhood experience
In 1959, Xie Yuan was born into a family of Manchu intellectuals in Beijing. His father was an outstanding student at Tsinghua University, and his family was wealthy and lived a carefree life.
However, the tricks of fate are always so cruel. When Xie Yuan was only two years old, his father unfortunately passed away, and his mother took Xie Yuan away from his father's homeland under the arrangement of his grandparents in order to regain his life.
Since then, Xie Yuan has begun his long and lonely childhood. He stayed with his grandparents and stepfather all year round, and gradually grew up in this environment full of warmth and coldness.
When he was young, in order to attract the attention and care of his relatives, Xie Yuan did not hesitate to cover up the bitterness and pain in his heart by using his humorous and energetic external image.
When he entered high school, he silently made a jaw-dropping and ironic decision, which was to register for the exam of the Department of Archaeology at Peking University. Although his academic performance can be said to be almost unimpressive, this decision has earned him the attention of his family for months on end.
Although this ardent desire for recognition and attention was never realized, it was this failed attempt that brought about a crucial turning point in his life, that is, he met the teacher who could change his life.
It was this mentor who first discovered Xie Yuan's unique talent for imitating the way others spoke, and encouraged him to apply for drama school. At first, Xie Yuan knew nothing about performing arts, but under the patient guidance and careful guidance of his mentor, he finally strengthened his belief and resolutely chose the acting department of Beijing Film Academy, which was still relatively unpopular at that time.
During the interview process, Xie Yuan won high praise from all the judges and teachers present for his excellent imitation ability, and was successfully admitted to this prestigious university.
Since then, he has made full use of his talents on campus, diligently learning various basic knowledge, and eventually becoming a leader among the outstanding talents cultivated by the school.
3. The married life of Xie Yuan and his second wife Qiu Yue
In 1991, after ending that marriage with his first wife, Xiaolin, Xie Yuan did not fall into difficulties because of loneliness and loss, on the contrary, he faced life with a more open-minded and optimistic attitude.
It was at this time that a lively and cheerful girl broke into his life.
The girl's name was Qiu Yue, a student of Xie Yuan, and she was 17 years younger than him. As a student, Qiu Yue deeply admired Xie Yuan's talent and charisma, and her lively and cheerful personality was in stark contrast to the reserved and quiet temperament of Xie Yuan's ex-wife, Xiaolin.
What was even more unexpected for Xie Yuan was that after a cram course, Qiu Yue plucked up the courage to express his feelings to him.
As a mentor, Xie Yuan politely rejected Qiu Yue's affectionate confession at the initial moment. He told her sincerely: "You are still young, and I am willing to wait for you to grow and mature before listening to your answer."
Before leaving, Qiu Yue looked back at him affectionately and said firmly, "No matter how long it takes, I will always be here and waiting for your response." ”
As expected, shortly after Qiu Yue graduated, she became Xie Yuan's wife as she wished. Although there is a huge age gap between the two, their love is as hot as dry fire, which makes people sigh.
In the days after marriage, Qiu Yue's meticulous care and care for Xie Yuan made him experience unprecedented happiness and warmth.
However, there is a little regret that always haunts the hearts of their husband and wife. As they grew older, they tried various ways and tricks, but they still failed to welcome their baby child as they wished.
Every time Qiu Yue faced the joyful situation of adding a newborn to the family of her peers, she would pretend to be strong and pretend to accept it silently in front of Xie Yuan, but in private, she often cried alone, and her heart was full of pain.
Xie Yuan had already seen his wife's inner world, and his heart was full of deep pity, but he never tried to force or restrain his wife, let alone restrict her personal freedom because of this matter.
In a TV show, he said frankly: "It doesn't matter if we don't have children, as long as we can live our lives well, live wonderfully, and die freely, this is the simplest happiness."
Fourth, Xie Yuan's tortuous journey to Beijing Film Academy
In high school, Xie Yuan's academic performance was not outstanding, but he had a unique talent for accurately imitating the speech and behavior of others. Because of this, he inadvertently ushered in the first important turning point in his life.
Once, Xie Yuan was invited into the office by a teacher, and it turned out that one of the teachers had discovered this special talent and encouraged him to devote himself to the field of performing arts. At that time, Xie Yuan didn't know anything about acting, but under the patient guidance of his teacher, he finally mustered up the courage and took the first brave step in his life - to sign up for the exam of the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy.
On the day of the interview, Xie Yuan showed amazing talent with his excellent imitation ability, and all the judges present were attracted by his talent, and finally succeeded in being admitted to the school.
This incident sparked an enthusiastic response throughout the campus, and students were envious of Xie Yuan's good luck.
However, Xie Yuan knows that this so-called "luck" is not predestined, but a special skill that he has acquired through loneliness and understanding. After entering university, he studied harder, used his talent for imitation to the extreme, mastered the basics solidly, and eventually became the best in school.
When he graduated, he was already an excellent graduate who had achieved great academic success, was highly recommended by the school, and successfully stepped into the film and television industry. Since then, with his natural comedy talent, he has performed in many film and television works, bringing endless joy to the audience, and at the same time winning himself the high honor of "Four Best Actors".
5. Xie Yuan's love marriage with his first wife Xiaolin
Xie Yuan's romantic encounter with his first love wife Xiaolin originated from a coincidence. In 1979, Xie Yuan, who had just entered the Beiying campus, was approached by a mentor who hoped that he could enthusiastically guide his friend's daughter Xiaolin and help her pass the Beiying exam successfully.
As one of the few acting college entrance examination candidates in the school at that time, Xie Yuan agreed to this task without hesitation.
In the process of carefully tutoring Xiaolin's acting lessons, these two young people of equal strength seem to have an indescribable attraction, mutual appreciation, and admiration for each other. The following year, Xie Yuan played the leading role for the first time and starred in the movie "New Soldier Ma Qiang", which greatly encouraged Xiaolin, who had a dream of military service, and she took care of Xie Yuan's daily life even more dedicatedly.
In 1982, after years of long-distance love, Xie Yuan and Xiaolin finally tied the knot. At that time, Xie Yuan knew that the stability of his future life was very important, so he did not devote himself to the entertainment industry like other students, but chose to stay at his alma mater as a teacher.
Although their life was simple at first, it was full of happiness and warmth.
However, as time passed, Xie Yuan's career gradually became busy, and the communication between them became less and less. The loneliness and grievances in Xiaolin's heart are also getting heavier and heavier over time.
Even if Xie Yuan later won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor, he could not save the decline of this marriage.
Until a sudden change pushed their relationship to the brink of collapse. As a midwife at Beijing Friendship Hospital, Xiaolin often witnesses the pain of childbirth due to her work, so when she becomes pregnant, the first thing that emerges from her heart is fear and helplessness.
However, she did not confess her feelings to Xie Yuan, but went to the hospital for an abortion in the company of her parents.
The truth can't be concealed after all, when Xie Yuan learned the news, his anger exploded instantly, and he asked Xiaolin uncontrollably: "Why is there no even the most basic trust between us?" How could you make such a decision! The stubborn Xiaolin chose to remain silent.
In 1991, after a long period of separation, they finally chose to end the marriage, which brought the relationship to an end.
