76-year-old Hong Kong veteran actor Qin Huang, the "hero" who used to be beautiful on the screen, can only spend his old age in a nursing home. This once majestic tough guy is now limited to mobility and has been admitted to a nursing home for three months. Although he has less contact with the outside world, he still cares about his lover Mary and her daughter Xu Zixin in Hunan, who he regards as his own.
In this Mid-Autumn Festival, although Qin Huang was unable to reunite with Mary and his "little daughter", he was still immersed in missing them. Qin Huang shared a long-cherished photo with reporters, in which the 45-year-old Mary has upright facial features and a warm smile, full of the tenderness of the years. And the 9-year-old "little daughter" Xu Zixin is a smart and smart little girl, with a round face full of innocent smiles. Although Qin Huang has no blood relationship with them, the father-daughter relationship is deeply engraved in his heart.
"When she was 11 months old, Mary took her to Shenzhen to live with me, and she stayed until she was two years old." When Qin Huang mentioned this time, his tone was full of warmth. He recalled the naughty things of the "little daughter" when she was a child, and couldn't help laughing: "She always secretly used her mother's cosmetics to paint herself with a big flower face, and then her mother chased her, and she hid behind me for protection." This innocent scene has become the sweetest memory in his mind.
Although Qin Huang can no longer be as close to Mary and her daughter as he used to be, he still insists on paying Xu Zixin's tuition, year after year. "She's so smart and sensible, and I like her so much." Qin Huang's tone was full of pride, as if he was talking about his own daughter. Although he is now living on CSSA and does not have enough money, he still pays more than 10,000 yuan a year for Xu Zixin's school fees, and occasionally gives them more living expenses to ensure that they have a better life.
Speaking of Mary, Qin Huang seemed very calm. He admits that Mary now lives with her husband, and their relationship has faded over the years, but he doesn't mind at all. "I don't care about the life of their family of three, and it's not that she takes my money, I'm willing to give it myself." Qin Huang is very open-minded about feelings and money, and he even laughed at himself: "I'm so old, I don't really want to spend too much money anymore, let's leave some for my retirement." ”
Although Qin Huang said it lightly, he obviously had a lot of worries in his heart. He mentioned that he once collected Pu'er tea cakes and precious jade Buddhas worth more than 1 million yuan, and they are still in his house in Hunan. He jokingly said, "I still want to see my tea cakes and jade Buddha, and I once wondered if she would sell my things, but it turned out to be no less." The words revealed his deep affection for the past and his helplessness for the present life.
In the nursing home, Qin Huang's life is plain but interesting. He laughed and said that his response to complaints about "can't sleep" was "old naughty": "I surrounded the computer with a cardboard box and turned down the volume, but no one said about me!" When he watches TV, he also raises the head of the bed and raises his feet with pillows, and although his physical condition is not as good as before, he still enjoys his share of fun.
Although the doctor told him to eat less foods with high cholesterol, Qin Huang would secretly order takeout, especially the steamed fish he liked, and occasionally satisfy his little cravings. For him, there is no longer too much luxury in life, and being able to eat some favorite food and watch a favorite show is the simplest happiness in his later years.
On this festival, although Qin Huang did not have children by his side, his heart was still full of warmth. He doesn't need too many words to express anything, maybe a Mid-Autumn Festival mooncake, a phone call, and an old photo are enough for him to spend this festival full of thoughts.
Life is always like this, it takes away the people we love, but it also leaves the most precious memories. As Qin Huang said: "When I see them, I am happy." Even if time flies and the family relationship is far away, the deep father-daughter friendship still warms his heart.
So, what about you? In this Mid-Autumn Festival, is there anyone who is the most concerned person in your heart?
