Walking alone at night, accompanied by the moonlight
In 1971, Wang Hongwei was born in a remote mountain village in Shaanxi. He has been excellent in character and learning since he was a child, and he is good at singing and dancing, which is the pride of his parents. But the good times didn't last long, Wang Hongwei was only 3 and a half years old, and his father died of illness, which crushed this poor peasant family at once.
Li Xiulan, a mother from Shanxi, kept her husband's will and supported the family of six alone. She sells and does small business every day, and tries her best to provide for her five children to go to school. After Wang Hongwei went to primary school, he took the initiative to give up school and help his mother share the work of the family.
The impoverished life did not dampen Wang Hongwei's love for music. In the evening, when he finished his chores, he would stand under the street lamp and learn to sing a little song. Mother Li Xiulan saw that although her family was poor, she still saved money and bought an old radio for her son, hoping that her son would have a good music environment.
It was the warmest memory of Wang Hongwei's life, and now looking back, his eyes are still shining with tears: "My mother is illiterate, but she is very supportive and encouraging of my music dream." The radio accompanied me throughout my childhood, and I often stayed alone at the radio, listening to the folk songs reverently, as if I were talking to the singer. "
The dreamcatcher's lonely journey
In 1987, 16-year-old Wang Hongwei passed the selection and assessment of the Art Troupe and was specially recruited by the Xi'an Military Region. Although he was only a small soldier, he felt like he had caught the tail of his dream by having the opportunity to sing in the army. He trains hard every day, whether it is in the playground or in the class, whenever he is free.
At first, his comrades-in-arms thought he was a funny guy, but later saw that Wang Hongwei's seriousness became more and more serious, and everyone was moved by his persistence and supported his music dream. Soon, Wang Hongwei became the main singer of the company, hosting various theatrical performances.
In 1990, Wang Hongwei was admitted to the Beijing People's Liberation Army Art Academy after many assessments. In addition to the gratification, he also felt unprecedented pressure and loneliness. In the barracks, although he was just a small soldier, everyone looked at him differently and regarded him as their own. When he arrived at the art college, most of the students were newly graduated literary and artistic backbones, and their temperament was much higher than his.
He studied music theory all night, practiced vocal music hard during the day, and finally came out on top when he graduated and was assigned to CCTV. In 2000, 32-year-old Wang Hongwei participated in the first CCTV Young Singer TV Grand Prix and won the championship of the national singing group in one fell swoop. , a singer who came to Beijing all the way from a poor boy, finally waited for his own spring.
With the good results of this competition, Wang Hongwei became an instant hit and was known as the "Western Singer of the New Era". In the following years, his fame spread farther and farther, and he became a shining star in the Chinese folk music scene, and he was everywhere.
However, the glory of these years does not seem to make Wang Hongwei complacent. After becoming famous, he became more and more humble and low-key, and every time he was interviewed, the first sentence was: "I can get to where I am today because of my mother's care and support."
Yes, the shadow of her mother Li Xiulan has always accompanied Wang Hongwei's life journey. Although he has long become the king of national songs, Wang Hongwei is still filial to his mother. Every time he celebrates the New Year, he will leave all the work at hand and return to his hometown in Shaanxi to reunite with his mother and younger siblings.
In addition to holidays, Wang Hongwei also uses his free time from singing tours to go home to visit his mother. Every time he returned to his hometown, he would cook for his mother and cook for his mother some of her favorite hometown dishes. After eating, Wang Hongwei would accompany his mother to chat about family matters, and occasionally take out the violin or erhu to play her mother a country tune she liked.
The relationship between mother and son reaches the highest fusion in music. Whenever Wang Hongwei performed in other places, his mother would turn on the TV and watch it carefully, commenting on her son's performance while watching. Sometimes, even if it's just a rerun, my mother insists on watching it.
Once, when Wang Hongwei came back from an overseas tour, he learned that his mother had stayed alone all night on a cold winter night in order to watch his performance on TV. This incident made Wang Hongwei feel very guilty and shed men's tears. Since then, no matter where he is, he will call his mother to report the trip, for fear that she will wait and be lonely.
Giving birth to a daughter should be a dream, and a white-haired person will be sent to sin
In 2008, 37-year-old Wang Hongwei finally got married. He married Yang Shanshan, a girl more than a decade younger than him, and brought his elderly mother to live in Beijing.
With his wife by his side, Wang Hongwei's life is finally not so lonely. However, his mother's health made him even more worried. The elderly Li Xiulan is often forgetful and forgetful, and sometimes even loses her way at home alone.
In order to find a companion for his mother, Wang Hongwei had a lot of thoughts. He begged his mother more than once to start his life again, and even made a blind date introduction for his mother. But the mother politely refused all arrangements for her son.
"You young people don't understand, I'm old and can't leave this home." Li Xiulan smiled and said to her son, "Just let me live the last days alone, and when it really can't work, you will take good care of me." "
Watching his mother stubbornly endure the loneliness and hardships of old age alone, Wang Hongwei's heart was mixed. He had no choice but to respect his mother's decision and do his best to be filial and serve this extraordinary mother in his own way.
In 2012, 41-year-old Wang Hongwei ushered in a new stage of his life - he and his wife Yang Shanshan were happy to have a daughter. The arrival of this little guy added infinite joy to the Wang family. What's even more gratifying is that the birth of the youngest daughter also gave Wang Hongwei a new interpretation of his mother's filial piety.
Mother Li Xiulan is happy to see her son's happy life, and she dotes on her little granddaughter. Despite her advanced age, she unequivocally assists her daughter-in-law in taking care of her granddaughter. Son Wang Hongwei's career is popular, daughter-in-law Shanshan is filial, and the lovely great-granddaughter is the pistachio of the family. The happiness of the family is Li Xiulan's greatest wish.

Now, Mrs. Li Xiulan has entered the final stage of her life. But under the careful care of Wang Hongwei and her family, her later life was prosperous, auspicious and healthy. Whenever he has free time, Wang Hongwei will take time to accompany his mother, or take her to enjoy the beautiful scenery, or chat with her to relive the eventful years of the past.
