Time flies, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is dusk in July 2000. The bustling city is shining with brilliant neon lights and thousands of lights shining like stars, but for Zhao Lirong's three sons, this once full of laughter and laughter has become the darkest and most painful moment of their lives.
Their mother, the great artist, died irretrievably because of the worsening of lung cancer, leaving them forever.
Teacher Zhao Lirong's life is a history of unswerving and persistent pursuit. With her unique artistic charm, she has deeply touched and touched the hearts of countless audiences.
She is like a ray of warm sunshine that illuminates the depths of everyone's heart, however, now this light has suddenly gone out, making countless people mourn.
When this heart-wrenching news spread across the country, all the viewers were shocked and saddened. At the memorial ceremony of teacher Zhao Lirong, countless people spontaneously came from afar to express their deep sorrow for this great artist.
The atmosphere was solemn, and people hugged each other and cried, showing sadness, all of them were stung by the deep pain of parting.
Teacher Zhao Lirong's life path is not all smooth sailing. She was born into a poor working family, and had to work hard for life since she was a child. In terms of personal marriage, she also experienced many setbacks, losing two husbands and her beloved daughter.
However, with her perseverance and endless love for art, she wrote an eternal chapter of glory in this world.
In order to forever cherish the memory of this great mother, the sons of teacher Zhao Lirong specially erected a white and flawless white marble tablet for her.
The mother devoted her life to the pursuit of the highest state of art, and never stopped moving forward until the last moment of her life, and the sons sincerely hoped that this simple and unpretentious inscription could inherit the spiritual power of the mother and live forever.
Teacher Zhao Lirong has created many classic roles on the stage, among which the most talked about and widely disseminated is undoubtedly the line she said in the sketch "Adventures of Part-time Jobs": "Palace jade liquor, one hundred and eighty glasses".
This seemingly prosaic line actually helped the country successfully capture a criminal spy by an unexpected coincidence.
It turned out that one day four years ago, a netizen with the screen name "Northerner" made a seemingly reasonable but vague remark on current political issues on the Internet.
Although his words seemed plausible, there was still a hint of suspicion.
A pair of sharp eyes immediately saw his hypocrisy, so he decided to use a little trick to test him with the familiar sketch line of Teacher Zhao Lirong.
However, what is surprising is that this seemingly innocent "northerner" actually tells nonsense with his eyes open, insisting that he has entered his twilight years and knows nothing about the meaning of this sentence.
After in-depth and meticulous investigation and evidence collection by relevant state departments, the true identity of this "northerner" finally surfaced - it turned out that he was actually a spy suspect disguised as an ordinary person! It is precisely because of the classic lines in Teacher Zhao Lirong's sketch that the state organs were able to unmask the spy and bring this criminal who threatens national security to justice.
Teacher Zhao Lirong has shown extraordinary artistic talent since she was a child. In 1928, she was born into an ordinary family of workers. Both parents are hardworking and simple people, and they make a living by moving from the docks.
In order to share the family's responsibilities, Zhao Lirong was taken to the stage to watch the drama performances of her predecessors when she was only 4 years old.
When she was a child, her eyes always followed every movement of the actors on stage. The elegant dancing posture and superb acting skills moistened Zhao Lirong's immature heart like spring breeze and rain, sowing the seeds of her dreams.
At the age of 15, she became a professional drama performer with her outstanding talent, shining and dazzling on the stage.
Since the 80s of the last century, Ms. Zhao Lirong has been involved in the field of film and television. She has participated in many classic works deeply rooted in Chinese culture, leaving an indelible impression on the audience.
One of the most well-known is that she played a small role in the TV series "Journey to the West", although there are not many scenes, but Zhao Lirong deeply moved the audience with her perfect performance, making it timeless.
In addition, teacher Zhao Lirong also created the role of "Grandma Liu" in the movie version of "Dream of Red Mansions". Although it was only a trivial supporting character at the time, she did her best to sculpt the character into a lifelike and breathtaking figure.
It is with this firm belief and unremitting efforts in the art career that Zhao Lirong has continued to climb new heights in the art world and achieved an eternal brilliant career.
In 1988, Ms. Zhao Lirong appeared on the stage of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala for the first time. She was wearing a plain long skirt and had a good demeanor, like a fairy falling from the sky, and she walked slowly like a fairy falling from the sky, which instantly attracted the attention of the audience.
As soon as the sketch performed by Teacher Zhao appeared, the audience was immediately intoxicated by her superb acting skills. She is free-flowing and vivid, and every look and every movement reveals her passionate love and selfless dedication to this art.
Warm applause thundered, and continuous cheers came and went. Since then, teacher Zhao Lirong has become a "resident guest" on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
Every year on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, audiences across the country look forward to Mr. Zhao's wonderful performance. Mr. Zhao has always lived up to expectations, and every year he presents new works that are unique and fascinating, which are full of praise and fascination from the audience.
However, in the late 90s of the 20th century, Zhao Lirong's health deteriorated day by day. During a performance, she suddenly stumbled on the stage, and then knelt on one knee.
It turned out that the once radiant artist was now suffering from a serious illness and severe osteoporosis, and it was quite difficult to move.
In the face of such a severe condition, Mr. Zhao never flinched. She persevered and resolutely stepped on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala to bring laughter to the audience.
The actors who performed on the same stage stepped forward to help, lest she fall on stage and get injured.
Mr. Zhao said, "Every artist should do their best to give the audience the best performance!" Seeing her strong figure moving flexibly on the stage, everyone was moved by her artistic spirit and moved.
Teacher Zhao Lirong has devoted her life to the art career, but few people know the bitter process behind her, and her personal life is also full of ups and downs and hardships.
Mr. Zhao was born in an ordinary family of workers. In order to support the six children in the family, the parents worked hard, and the family's financial situation was stretched.
In order to share the heavy responsibilities of the family, Zhao Lirong and her brothers and sisters joined the local Pingju troupe early and began their stage performance career.
In 1953, Zhao Lirong tied the knot with the like-minded Sheng Qiang. The two share the same artistic ideals and live happily after marriage. Soon after, they welcomed two lively and lovely sons, and the family enjoyed a happy family.
Surprisingly, in that particular magnificent era, a sudden social upheaval violently took away Zhao Lirong's beloved, Sheng Qiang's life.
Knowing this bad time, Mr. Zhao was puzzled, life could be so ruthless! At that time, she was still young, but she had to face the pain of widowhood, and she had to raise two young children alone, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the whole family, and the living environment deteriorated sharply.
However, at her most desperate moment, Zhao Lirong rekindled her former artistic dreams and devoted herself to her acting career. A few years later, she remarried her late husband's younger brother, Sheng Hong, and spent that difficult time together.
Soon after, Zhao Lirong gave birth to a son and a daughter for Sheng Hong, and family life finally ushered in a new dawn, however, the good times are always short-lived, and the daughter died after only seven years of survival, and Mr. Zhao fell into endless grief again.
Just when Teacher Zhao thought that fate had finally begun to favor her, Sheng Hong died of a heart attack. This news was like a thunderbolt from the blue, hitting Mr. Zhao's fragile heart hard.
In just a few years, she suffered three heavy blows from the loss of her loved ones in succession, and the feeling that life is worse than death came to her heart like a tide.
Zhao Lirong's three sons watched their mother grow emaciated and knew the pain she was suffering at the moment. They tried their best to distract her mother, only to find that only art could give her true comfort.
Indeed, art has become Zhao Lirong's only spiritual sustenance and strong pillar, only on the stage, she can feel the meaning and value of life, in the face of the audience's warm applause and cheers, her heart is full of incomparable happiness and joy.
For Ms. Zhao, art is not only her lifelong pursuit, but also the carrier of her great dreams and a powerful source of motivation to fight against fate.
