1. Today, Song Yan waits alone in the empty room, deeply remembering her husband who died young, recalling the bits and pieces of the past in their first acquaintance, tying the knot and Shi Shengjie's brilliant artistic career.
In that cold winter, there were few pedestrians on the streets of Harbin, but in an ordinary residential building, Song Yan sat alone by the window and fell into deep thought.
Her gaze casts on the ice-covered world outside the window, but her gaze does not stay at the scene in front of her, but passes through the shackles of reality to pursue the eternal memory in her heart - her late husband Shi Shengjie.
Time flies, but Song Yan's longing for her husband has never faded. When night falls, her tears fall silently, silently mourning the loss of her loved ones in the silence of the night.
Sometimes, Song Yan can even see Shi Shengjie's figure in her dreams, they hug each other tightly, intimate, just like in the past. However, this was only a short-lived dream, and when she woke up from the dream, Song Yan only felt that her heart was filled with unspeakable pain.
Daughter Shi Hao has tried many times to persuade her mother to get rid of her grief, although Song Yan is also trying to rejoin her life, but her concern for Shi Shengjie can never be erased.
She would carefully edit down the photos of the two of them and carefully put them into a pocket watch, which she would hold close to her chest wherever she went, as if her husband would always be with her.
6. Looking back on the good time spent with Shi Shengjie, Song Yan will always think of the warm picture of their first acquaintance and mutual affection. In 1973, after Shi Shengjie joined the local quyi troupe, he became attached to Song Yan and became a bosom friend in his life.
Guan was initially strongly opposed by her family, but Song Yan moved her mother with her firm determination to cut her hair short, and the two finally came together and became husband and wife. Since then, Shi Shengjie has had the most solid support in his life.
With the company and encouragement of Song Yan, Shi Shengjie has made remarkable achievements in the field of cross talk, and his works such as "Liver and Bladder Photography", "Recruitment", "The Adventure of the Little Shoemaker", etc., are deeply loved by the audience.
As a well-known cross talk performance artist, Mr. Shi Shengjie has been on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for several consecutive years, and his artistic career is extraordinary.
The second paragraph: Back in time to that shocking and heartbreaking moment in 2017, Shi Shengjie was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and Ms. Song Yan's heart was filled with endless pain and powerlessness.
Back in 2017, when everyone was enjoying the joy brought by Mr. Shi Shengjie's new cross talk "Drunken Song", thrilling news emerged like a tide - Mr. Shi Shengjie, a master of cross talk, was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer.
For Ms. Song Yan, this was undoubtedly a sudden disaster. She never expected that her husband, who had always been in good health, would suffer from such a serious illness.
Faced with this cruel reality, Ms. Song Yan instantly fell into confusion and tearfully sought the help of Mr. Shi Shengjie's disciples to discuss the follow-up treatment plan.
In the days that followed, Ms. Song Yan always stayed by her husband's side, doing her best to encourage and comfort him in various ways. Despite the great pain in her heart, she still stood strong and provided the most unwavering support and strength to Mr. Shi Shengjie.
In order to receive better treatment, Mr. Shi Shengjie had to go to Shanghai for medical treatment. However, the cancer has progressed to an advanced stage, and only brutal chemotherapy can barely slow the progression of the disease.
Ms. Song Yan watched her lover lose weight, her hair fell out, and her lips were broken and bleeding from pain, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings and deep guilt.
The following year's Spring Festival was supposed to be a good time for the whole family. However, Ms. Song Yan and Mr. Shi Shengjie could only spend time in the hospital. This festival can no longer reproduce the lively scene of the past, Ms. Song Yan only prepared two steaming wontons, and the two spent the festival together in this simple way.
Looking at her lover's haggard face, Ms. Song Yan burst into tears and felt pain in her heart. She endured her grief and tried not to let herself make a sound, so as not to disturb Mr. Shi Shengjie, who was resting.
