In the early years, Wang Tiecheng
Wang Tiecheng, under the arrangement of his sister, and Yan Lili were on a blind date in the park, and the two ended up on the edge of the eye. The following year, Wang Tiecheng was swept out of the house due to birth problems, and the family was left homeless. Wang Tiecheng and his parents had to fight guerrillas everywhere, taking turns to spend the night at relatives' homes.
After staying for a few days, Wang Tiecheng did not want to cause trouble for his relatives, so he lived in a grass hut next to the public toilet of the unit at night. Yan Lili secretly went to bring some food to Wang Tiecheng, and the two met in the grass shed.
During the period, Wang Tiecheng felt that he was unable to give Yan Lili happiness and proposed to break up. Yan Lili said resolutely: "In this life, I have followed you, and if you wander, I will wander with you." Wang Tiecheng's eyes were red.

In May 1967, Wang Tiecheng and Yan Lili were married naked in Beijing. After marriage, Yan Lili still lived in her mother's house, and Wang Tiecheng lived in a grass hut, and the legal couple could not live a normal life. It was not until 1969 that Wang Tiecheng's life with his parents returned to normal.

At this time, the unit gave Wang Tie a 15-square-meter house in the tube building, and the couple finally had a home of their own.
At this time, Wang Tiecheng is 31 years old, and it is imminent to conceive a baby. In the spring of 1970, Yan Lili became pregnant. More than 3 months after the fetus, Wang Tiecheng was sent to the countryside to work. He often wrote letters to his wife, saving the monthly allowance of 14.8 yuan and sending it to her for nutrition expenses.
In December of that year, Yan Lili went to the hospital for examination before giving birth, and the doctor said that the fetal development was completely normal. Who knew that after the baby was born, he would not cry, and his eyes were sluggish, and Yan Lili felt very strange. As a result, the doctor examined the baby and found that the child had congenital mental retardation.
Yan Lili was heartbroken and wrote to her husband with tears in her eyes. After receiving his wife's letter, Wang Tiecheng's heart was like a knife, and he lost 15 pounds in a week. When Wang Tiecheng took leave of absence to rush back to Beijing, Yan Lili's mother and son had been discharged from the hospital. Wang Tiecheng's parents and mother-in-law came to their son's house to discuss how to deal with the demented child.
Wang Tiecheng with his son
Wang Tiecheng and his wife both expressed their stance: The child is the flesh that fell from his body, and no matter how much hardship he has to pay, he must be treated. The three old men respected their choice with tears in their eyes.
Neighbors and acquaintances said to Wang Tiecheng: "Don't be stupid, as long as this disease is not cured, it will automatically die." Raising a demented child is a lifelong burden. Someone suggested that Yan Lili send the child to the orphanage or throw it to the side of the road, Yan Lili choked and said: "He is also a life, how can we bear it?" Puppies and kittens are reluctant to give away when they are mature, let alone their own children? ”
Wang Tiecheng and his wife named their son Wang Weiping, after which Wang Tiecheng and his wife embarked on a difficult road to seek medical treatment with their son.
They traveled to dozens of hospitals in Beijing, large and small, and doctors told them: "Congenital mental retardation cannot be cured at all, and can only treat other diseases caused by the source of the disease, and do not let the condition continue to deteriorate." ”
Wang Tiecheng
At that time, Wang Tiecheng's monthly salary was 64 yuan, Yan Lili's monthly salary was only more than 30 yuan, and the couple's monthly salary added up to less than 100 yuan, but the son's condition was a bottomless pit. After the family's savings ran out, they began to sell their property.
Soon, a 9-inch black-and-white TV set in the family was sold, Wang Tiecheng's bicycle to work was sold, and Yan Lili sold a watch that her mother's dowry had. Once Wang Weiping had a high fever of 41 degrees, but the family could no longer come up with money. In the cold December, Wang Tiecheng took off his cotton clothes and shoes and sold them, and sent his son to the hospital.
After 7 years, Wang Weiping's condition did not improve in the slightest.

In the late 1970s, Wang Tiecheng began to take over film and television dramas, but at that time, there was no remuneration for filming, and he still lived on a meager monthly salary.
In 1984, Yan Lili, introduced by relatives, went to work in a company in Hong Kong, and Wang Tiecheng and his mother took care of a pair of children at home.
As he grew older, Wang Tiecheng found that his son listened to the radio and turned the volume on to a large extent. He was worried that his son had a problem with his ear, so he took him to the hospital for examination, and was found to have otitis media. The doctor said: "If you do not step up treatment, you will lose hearing in both ears in the future." ”
Soon, Wang Tiecheng found that his son went down the stairs, like an old man in his 80s, holding the stairs with both hands and not daring to take a step. He took his son to the hospital again for examination, and it turned out that Wang Weiping was found to have cataracts again.
Wang Tiecheng was heartbroken: his son was already very unfortunate to suffer from congenital mental retardation, why are there so many additional diseases? Yan Lili, who was far away in Hong Kong, learned this, and her heart was torn apart. She worked as a salesman for a company in Hong Kong, working more than ten hours a day to make more money.
She often ate only two meals a day, sometimes when she was so thirsty, that she drank tap water in a park on the side of the street. Every time she saved a sum of money, she sent it home and asked Wang Tiecheng to treat her son.

In 1990, Wang Tiecheng finally took his son to cure otitis media, and Wang Weiping's cataract was also removed. Soon, Yan Lili returned to Beijing from Hong Kong, and the family was finally reunited.
In 1992, Wang Tiecheng became the "Golden Rooster" and "Hundred Flowers" double film emperor because he played "Zhou Enlai". Deng Yingchao, a proletarian revolutionary, spoke highly of Wang Tiecheng's acting skills.
In 1996, Deng Yingchao received Wang Tiecheng and asked him to write a family situation report. Knowing that he had a mentally handicapped son, Deng Yingchao was very appreciative of the character of Wang Tiecheng and his wife. She instructed her secretary to ask Academician Wu Jieping, the attending physician of Premier Zhou's lifetime, to come and see Wang Weiping.
Academician Wu told Wang Tiecheng: "The child's condition will not be cured through treatment, and his skills can be improved through the training of the day after tomorrow." ”
Listening to Academician Wu's words, Wang Tiecheng remembered that his son had a strong sense of musical rhythm, so he trained him in music. Wang Tiecheng loved Peking Opera, and after that he took his son to listen to Peking Opera, and once the accompaniment sounded, Wang Weiping danced with his hands.
Therefore, Wang Tiecheng taught his son to play a small gong. Xiao Gong is an instrument of the Peking Opera martial arts field, is one of the percussion instruments, on the stage of Hua Dan's small steps, XiaoSheng's freedom, old students' idleness, all rely on small gongs to foil.
Wang Tiecheng bought a mallet from outside and first taught his son to beat it with a mallet. At that time, the 15-square-meter house was inhabited by 4 people, and it was overcrowded. Especially in the summer, the temperature in the room is as high as more than 30 degrees, the son practices playing a small gong at home, his body is full of sweat, Wang Tiecheng sits on the side and takes a fan to his son.
Sometimes Wang Weiping was not sure of the beat of the music, and angrily threw the small gong on the ground, and Wang Tiecheng picked up the small gong and coaxed his son with the wind and rain.

Wang Weiping
After Wang Weiping beat the small gong like a decent, Wang Tiecheng and his wife taught their son to play the piano. Yan Lili graduated from the China Conservatory of Music, and her son could not distinguish 7 notes, so she pressed her son's hand on the keyboard and popped out one note at a time. When her son could play some simple songs, Yan Lili's fingers grinded out layers of calluses.
As his son grew older, the living conditions became more and more inconvenient. In 1999, when the Shunyi District of Beijing began to develop, Wang Tiecheng bought a piece of land in the countryside, built a spacious house by himself, and the family moved to the suburbs of Shunyi.
Wang Weiping saw others riding battery cars and begged his parents to say that he wanted to drive. So Wang Tiecheng called around to contact the manufacturer to help his son find a battery car suitable for people with intellectual disabilities.
A car factory in Beijing was touched by Wang Tiecheng's father's love and specially helped them modify a battery car. In 2000, on Wang Weiping's 30th birthday, Wang Tiecheng gave the battery car to his son as a birthday gift.

After that, Wang Tiecheng taught his son to drive a battery car at home every day, and after more than two months of training, Wang Weiping was able to drive the battery car freely, and he could skillfully operate forward, backward and turn.
In 2003, Wang Tiecheng and his wife took their son to do a program on CCTV, Yan Lili accompanied her son to play the piano, and Wang Tiecheng recited poetry. The host Ni Ping said emotionally: "Tiecheng big brother and sister-in-law, you are the best parents in the world, I respect you." ”
Remembering the difficulties of accompanying his son along the way, Wang Tiecheng burst into tears. The audience applauded and burst into tears.
Subsequently, Wang Tiecheng took his son to Dalian TV station to do a program, and more people saw Wang Weiping's talent. Under the recommendation of Wang Tiecheng, his son also ran dragon sets in many film and television dramas, sometimes playing the mentally retarded people climbing stairs, and sometimes playing the mentally disabled people riding bicycles.
So far, Wang Weiping has played small roles in 7 film and television dramas. Many congenital intellectually retarded patients, just born with a bad fate, some are abandoned, some die of illness, and some even if they survive, their life expectancy will not be too long.
Under the care of her parents, Wang Weiping not only mastered a lot of life skills, but also basically took care of herself, but also had musical talent. It can be said that Wang Tiecheng created a miracle with his father's love.
In August 2021, Wang Tiecheng was 83 years old, and his son with congenital intellectual disabilities was also 51 years old. Wang Weiping did not fall in love and married, but remained single and lived with his parents.
Wang Tiecheng knew that he and his wife were old, and the time that belonged to them was getting less and less. Over the years, they have accumulated some money for their son, and when he and his wife will live in a nursing home in the future, they will let their son live in a nursing home.
