On October 6, 1976, for reasons known to all, Qian Haoliang, the actor of Li Yuhe and a famous Peking Opera actor in "The Red Lantern", was censored, and the minister who had been supported by the former and the back became a prisoner to be convicted and dealt with.
He was put in jail and examined for five years. In 1981, he was formally concluded: The contradiction between the enemy and ourselves should be handled according to the contradictions among the people, he was expelled from the party, his salary was demoted by one level, and he was transferred out of Beijing to work in other places.
In the winter of 1981, when Qian Haoliang was released and announced to him the conclusion of the review and the decision on punishment, Liu Fuzhi, then vice minister of culture, talked to him and encouraged him to correct his mistakes and become a new person.
After five years of examination and introspection in prison, Haoliang pondered bitterly and conducted profound reflections. He realized with deep sorrow that he had indeed embarked on a very wrong and extremely dangerous political path and had committed crimes against the people; The people are lenient to themselves. He was convinced of the final treatment. He had an urgent mood of making meritorious atonement for his sins: I am an actor, acting is my duty, and in the future I will be even more angry and practice, and act well: I am only in my forties, not old, and I want to dedicate all my energy to Peking Opera and the people for the rest of my life.
However, things are not so simple.
He sang martial arts, and he wanted to practice three nines in winter and three volts in summer. He was censored and imprisoned for five years, and no matter how good his kung fu was, he would have to come back to life. When he came out, the first thing he did was to resume practicing.
He rushed to the practice hall of the China Peking Opera House, but was blocked from entering; Singing Dawusheng exercises should have a big lean and a thick bottom and a handle. He was not allowed to move any of these garments and apparatus.
The practice hall can't enter, he practices on the basketball court, no thick-soled boots, wear sneakers to practice; no handle, start, just practice alone, practice waist and legs, practice body. In this way, from winter practice to spring, from spring to winter, for more than a year, he found all the kung fu back. However, without thick-soled boots and a practice blanket to slow down the impact, he was seriously injured during a practice. Go to the hospital to check: the meniscus of the right knee is crushed!
The doctor said that he was going to have surgery, but there was no bed, but at this time, the transfer order to go to the Hebei Provincial Art School was issued, asking him to report immediately, without delay. His leg hurt like this, and his wife fell ill, and it seemed that he was still a big symptom. He didn't say a word, dragged his injured leg, carried a stick, and moved to Shijiazhuang step by step.
Li Zheng, the principal of hebei provincial art school, was surprised to see that Qian Haoliang's leg injury was so serious, and immediately arranged for someone to take care of him. He also reported to the province and asked him to go back to Beijing to treat his injuries and go to work after the injuries were healed. Li was an old comrade, who had been beaten up a lot in those years, and if he posed at this time with the old "left" face that Qian Jieliang was familiar with, then Qian Haoliang's leg would be finished.
Qian Jieliang was allowed to return to Beijing, wait for the bed, undergo surgery, and remove all the meniscus from his right knee. When it rained, his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer and also underwent resection. Qian Haoliang fell into a dilemma: in addition to injuries, he was also poor, he had reduced his salary, his wife had raised his salary several times, and both of them had to spend money to recuperate... It stumped him.
Just when there was no way out, Gao Zhanxiang, who was then in charge of the cultural and educational work in Hebei Province (later vice minister of culture), sent two cadres from the Department of Culture to Beijing to visit Qian Haoliang, and told them that the husband and wife should be at ease and recuperate, don't worry, when will they go to work again, and ask them what difficulties they have?
Hebei sent people to visit, and Qian Haoliang's accident was really unexpected, and he was not moved. He looked at his wife, who was lying on the bed and couldn't move, and said to the guests: "I am a person who has made mistakes, I have not done a day's work for Hebei, the province cares about me so much, we have no difficulties, even if there are difficulties, we can overcome them ourselves and strive to work as soon as possible." After all, he was a man, not mentioning his own embarrassment and difficulties, but the poor family had no cover, everything was seen by the people who came, and they reported to Gao Zhanxiang overnight.
The next day, the two came to the door again, not only bringing greetings from Secretary Gao Zhanxiang, but also sending two hundred yuan of hardship subsidies.
It's a real drop in the snow! Qian Haoliang, a man of five years and three thick men, holding the two-hundred-yuan subsidy in his hand, could no longer control himself, and he cried. Since his release from prison for more than a year, people have not dared to contact him, and the couple has become so ill that no one dares to visit him. They were trapped in the hut, almost cut off from the outside world. Hebei treated him like this, making him sit like a spring breeze. His heart was almost desperate, and he felt the warmth.
