For a long time, the sun was shining, and my eighteen-year-old brother was sitting by the river.
When this familiar melody sounds, many people will inevitably hum along with it.
This is the theme song of the film "The Story of Liu Fort", and this film starring Liao Youliang and Tao Yuling is a beautiful memory in the hearts of countless people.
But who would have thought that the actor of his 18-year-old brother Liao Youliang would spend such a bleak life.
His wife was separated, his son went to a foreign country, and he had been thinking about seeing his son, but in the end, his son did not appear.
His last words before he died were: Xiao Hai, why don't you come to see Daddy? ”
Remembering his handsome, upright, and vibrant appearance in the film is really lamentable.
He was proud of his youth, innocent all his life, honest and kind, but in the end he still lost to his dearest people.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > 01, 12-year-old young soldier who joined the army</h1>
At dawn in 1950, the noise of waist drums sounded outside the door of the 20th Army's literary and labor corps, and the soldiers of the cultural and labor corps were slightly surprised, who played the waist drum so early, what was this to do.
They opened the door and saw a 10-year-old child standing on the side of the road, beating the waist drum vigorously, and when they saw the door open, the child ran over and asked with a smile: "Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, is my waist drum playing well?" ”
In order to sleep, everyone perfunctorily said that he had beaten the child so well, and persuaded him to leave.
Who knows, this little friend not only did not leave but said: "I came to sign up for the army, since I am good at fighting, let me join the army." "
This child is Liao Youliang, born in 1937, when he was 12 years old, the members of the regiment advised him to join the children's league, but Liao Youliang did not do it, he wanted to join the army.
Seeing that the troops did not approve, he went to the door of the regiment every day to play the waist drum, and this beating was half a month, and later the regiment saw that he was clever and clever, and he could pass the strict selection examination, so he was hired out of the box.
Liao Youliang's experience in joining the army is generally unimaginable, but what is even more unexpected is that within a few months, he actually crossed the Yalu River with the volunteer army.
In Korea, the troops could only march at night, and in the first few days Liao Youliang could still hold on, but on the third day he couldn't bear it, and he fell asleep holding a tree on the way to the march.
The comrades in arms of the literary and labor troupe felt sorry for him, thinking that the 13-year-old was the time to play in his mother's arms, but now he was wading through the mountains and rivers in the midst of the war, ice and snow, so everyone decided to carry him on their backs.
But when the group leader went to carry him, he woke up, and he said, "Why, I'm not a young master soldier."
After saying that, he rubbed his eyes, took a few quick steps, and said, "Go fast, if you don't go any further, you will be left behind, and you are all going to follow me." ”
Liao Youliang's face was really printed in the minds of his comrades-in-arms, and it is still vividly remembered after many years.
Thinking of Liao Youliang's spirited appearance in his 10s, and thinking about his later encounters, no one could help but sigh.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >02, people are small and big</h1>
On the battlefield, Liao Youliang's cultural and labor troupe was also divided into several squads, each with its own task, and he and his comrades were responsible for bandaging in the health center.
The health clinic was very close to the front line, the conditions were harsh, and there was nothing but a medical kit.
But the seriously injured people could not move, they wanted to urinate, and just when everyone was helpless, Liao Youliang did not hesitate to untie the teapot on his backpack and went to pick it up.
But for the warriors, the teapot is also a rice bowl, and when it comes to lunchtime, Liao Youliang washes the teapot with ice and snow and uses it to serve rice.
At this time, one of the wounded said: "Xiao Liao, next time you don't use the teapot to urinate, urine is always poisonous." ”
Who knows, Liao Youliang said seriously: "You are not afraid of aircraft cannons, you are not afraid of sacrifice, and I am not afraid of your urine poison." ”
The next day, just after dawn, the seriously wounded wanted to urinate again, he shouted two small comrades, but Liao Youliang did not appear, the comrade next to him took the military water bottle and was about to hand it over, Xiao Liao suddenly ran out.
While running, he said to his comrades-in-arms: "Your kettle mouth is too small, use me this." ”
As he spoke, he took out a steel helmet from behind like a trick, and jokingly said to the wounded, "This is bigger than my teapot, and the five of you can't use it." ”
Comrade-in-arms was very curious, how did you get this, Xiao Liao said, he was picked up on the battlefield at the top of the mountain at dawn.
In fact, Liao Youliang has always been a particularly clever child, but he has always lived in a particularly simple environment.
Therefore, his cleverness is only pure cleverness, and he has an unreserved trust in people and things, and there is no city government at all.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" >03, officially became an actor</h1>
Returning from North Korea, Liao Youliang was only 16 years old.
After returning, Liao Youliang was transferred to the Frontline Repertory Theatre, where he performed well.
So in 1957, "The Story of Fort Willow" found him.
The film starred him and Tao Yuling, who were known as the Golden Boy and Jade Girl after the film was broadcast, and the theme song of the film, "Nine Nine Sunny Days", also swept the country.
In this way, the two roles of Xiao Yinglian and 18-year-old brother became their new names, and Liao Youliang also became a star loved by the people of the whole country, and Liao Youliang was only 20 years old this year.
Liao Youliang became famous at a young age, the road to art was smooth, his debut was the peak, and he also became the brightest new star in the drama troupe.
Leaders love, colleagues appreciate, and there are many fans.
In 1964, Liao Youliang participated in the filming of the film version of "Sentinel under Neon Lights", which completely followed the script of the drama, and Liao Youliang was really handy in acting.
Some people say that among the older generation of actors, Liao Youliang is the purest and most sunny and beautiful teenager.
Liao Youliang was only 27 years old after acting in "Sentinel under Neon Lights", and at this time, he only made two movies.
As an actor, he is really lucky, on the road of acting, he has hardly taken a detour, every role, every work is acclaimed.
But in real life, his marriage is difficult to say.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" >04, half life bumpy</h1>
After becoming famous, he married a dancer, Ms. Xie.
Ms. Xie is very beautiful, with big eyes and long braids, which has a beauty that is different from that of Jiangnan women.
When he got married, Liao Youliang was very excited, and his eyes filled with tears of happiness, and it could be seen that he was very fond of Ms. Xie.
Ms. Xie's business is very solid, she has been the lead dancer in the dance troupe at that time, her heart is very high, and she has always been a person who strives to be upstream.
After marriage, they had a child named Liao Xiaohai.
But not long after ten years, Liao Youliang could not be left alone, and during that period, he was not spared, but fortunately, he finally survived those days.
When he was nearly 40 years old, Liao Youliang was demobilized, and after demobilization, he went to Shanghai, first to the Shanghai Children's Art Theater, and later to the Youth Repertory Theatre.
At that time, there were very few drama books, and he cherished every opportunity to go on stage.
In Shanghai, Liao Youliang was willing to be silent and cherished every performance opportunity, but his wife, Ms. Xie, had other ideas.
According to the information, Ms. Xie is 9 years younger than Liao Youliang.
In the 1980s, There was a rush of going abroad in Shanghai, and among these people were the familiar stars such as Chen Chong and Zhang Yu.
At that time, Ms. Xie was also at the forefront of the times, and she once led the first generation of Shanghai model teams abroad and experienced the Western culture at that time. Through these behaviors, some enterprises have brought business opportunities.
Therefore, Ms. Xie, who has a lot of knowledge and a high pattern, has made the decision to go abroad after several considerations.
In 1982, Ms. Xie went abroad and took their only son, Liao Xiaohai, with them, and not long after Ms. Xie went abroad, they divorced.
Liao Youliang did not have a satisfactory life in the decades after his divorce.
His career didn't take off again, he didn't remarry, and his only hobby was smoking.
Later, he got liver cancer again, and according to colleagues who often visit him, his home did not have any decorations, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the house was a garbage dump.
In the bedroom, there is only a camp bed, a flat shoulder, and the refrigerator is generally a bit of curd milk and pickles.
At that time, his illness was already very serious, and the flat burden was used to resist the back pain when his liver pain was severe.
In his messy home, there were a few drawers that were neatly arranged, and the drawers contained everything his son had used.
There are only half-cut pencils left, erasers that have been used up, homework written during the winter vacation, art homework that has been drawn half of the painting, these things, he will take out from time to time to take a look, he will often look at it, and his eyes will burst into tears.
But since divorcing his wife, he had never had the chance to see his son again, and that longing was like a mountain, pressing against his chest.
The Shanghai municipal government rewarded him with a new house, and he was particularly happy because it would allow his son to come back and live in a new house.
He took out his life savings of 100,000 yuan and planned to renovate the house so that he could welcome his son back.
Unexpectedly, the unscrupulous decorator cheated this 100,000 yuan, which was a big blow to him, plus his health was already very bad at that time.
After that, he fell ill and was admitted to the hospital, and Renyi's colleagues reached out to help him finish the house decoration, but it was too late at this time, and he never had the opportunity to live in a new house.
He died in 1999 without a single person around him.
He took the tape recorder, recorded his last words, and he said to all those who loved him: You live well, it is good to be alive!
But the most touching thing is the last sentence that desperately shouted out
Xiao Hai, why don't you come to see Daddy.
His colleague recalls that in the room where he lived, the only decoration was two photographs on the wall.
One is a photograph of him in the Nanjing Literary troupe when he was young, and the other is a full moon photo of his son Liao Xiaohai, but he did not see his son again until his death.
However, according to the data, after his death, his son returned to China.
Ms. Xie's most recent news was in a list in June 2020, that is, after Ms. Xie went abroad, she basically broke off contact with China.
Liao Youliang's life has a feeling of nowhere to say, when his wife went abroad, the child was still young, and his attitude towards Liao Youliang obviously would not fall from the world.
Perhaps because the first half of his life was so smooth, he never understood why his son, who had been taken away by his wife, would ignore him.
He can enter the literary troupe with a waist drum, triumph in the war-torn battlefield, and be handy in performance, but his talent and intelligence cannot keep the relatives he cares about most.
Until the end, all he had was endless thoughts about his son and ex-wife, and he never complained.
He missed his son so much that he was always preparing for his reunion, and he often asked young people what routes they should take if they traveled, and he even decided which restaurant his son would go to for dinner, but nothing happened.
Fortunately, there is also a screen for us to record his best years, to record the youthful appearance of the eighteen-year-old brother.
