In 1918, 18-year-old Shang Xiaoyun married her, who was two years older. Her name is Li Shuqing, the daughter of Pear Garden. Intermarriage between artists is a custom in the pear orchard world. His father-in-law, Li Shoushan, was a famous jing in the capital, and Mei Lanfang studied Kunqu opera from him. Let's take a look at the love and hatred of drama master Shang Xiaoyun today.
One of the most important plays that Shang Xiaoyun learned from his father-in-law Li Shoushan was "Zhaojun Out of the Plug", which is also one of his representative works of "literary opera and martial singing". In 1935, with the help of the playwright Huan Zhulou (real name Li Shoumin), Shang Xiaoyun adapted and expanded the play and named it "Han Mingfei".
Weng Zhang's promotion of his son-in-law, and his son-in-law's respect for Weng Zhang, can be called a good story in pear garden. However, there is less communication between a pair of beautiful people, and the basis of love is built on quicksand.
At that time, just after getting married, Shang Xiaoyun left his newlywed wife and went to Shanghai to act at the invitation of the Shanghai Tiantou Stage. I don't know, what kind of mind Li Shuqing, who has just entered the Shang family and become a bride, has, making some clothes for her husband jun to travel far, thinking that she is unwilling and that attachment always makes her sad.
Three years later, the two had a daughter. I don't know if there is no strong love between the two, but it is enough to explain that Shang Xiaoyun's sloppiness of this marriage, or Shang Xiaoyun gave all his time and energy to the stage, forgot his wife, forgot his responsibilities.
After that, winter came to spring, and every year, Li Shuqing did not add a child to the Shang family. It was in the era of no filial piety and no queen, what kind of pressure she was under as a woman, and now that she thinks about it, she has no way of knowing.
At this time, Shang Xiaoyun was very busy, taking a shift to join the society, and the drama was continuous, moreover, he sang a night's play, from the top of his head to the end. At that time, for most actors, especially those who were famous and played one night, most of them only sang a fold, and some would sing a "double out", and it was only more than an hour to sing. However, when Shang Xiaoyun performs, he often starts the play and does not go down until the end of the play.
It is a good thing that Shang Xiaoyun should not forget that his wife forgot his home and forgot the autumn light blown by the wind. He may not be unloving, not thin affection, but he does not have extra time, no extra thoughts to spend in this marriage, but he is really a handsome person living on the stage. As a husband, he finally owed her.
Looking forward to the red xia, looking forward to the sun, looking forward to the moon, and finally looking forward to Shang Xiaoyun's return home. When he got home, he slept upside down again, gathering enough energy to meet tomorrow's field, and even had free time to talk and talk to his wife and talk about his heart.
The next day, he slept until more than ten o'clock in the morning, at twelve o'clock for lunch, after dinner, he went out to hang out, stayed until he had walked enough, came back at three o'clock and then slept again, got up at half past four, drank some tea, and maintained his spirit without a word, and went out early when it was time to go to the theater.
In the blink of an eye, when spring came again, Shang Xiaoyun was already 27 years old. In the "Five Famous New Dramas Winning the Championship Selection Activity" launched by Suncheon Times, he won the first place with "Modern Lady", laying the foundation for him to enter the "Four Famous Dans". And this year, for Li Shuqing, is also the golden year, because she has not moved for a long time, she can finally add incense to the Shang family, and some of the feelings of a daughter-in-law who has been boiling into a wife for many years.
However, her happiness did not go too far, and when her son Changchun was two years old, she left this home full of loneliness and left the marriage that had left her lonely for twelve years. It is a fateful fate, from the beginning to the end, from beginning to end, it is lonely. From nothing to something, from something to nothing, it is only the fault of the moth to put out the fire, but it is just the pain of licking the silence alone.
Twelve years of water years, twelve years of mutual foam, twelve years of fragrance, followed by, indifferent departure. Since then, he has continued to play on the stage, and she has lingered, but even if he waits for her to leave, he has never composed a song for her, and the book is inked. Come to think of it, it is still too shallow, shallow to unintentional, shallow to the point of dissipation.
She has completely ended, his love affair has continued, the mirror flowers and water moon, broken in the blink of an eye. Legend has it that three women were candidates for Mrs. Shinsang. One is Xue Yanqin, a woman from Pear Garden, one is a Qing Dynasty Gege, and the other is a famous prostitute in Tianjin, Meixiang.
Xue Yanqin is also a pear garden woman, who also learns Zizi and Pi Huang, appeared on stage at the age of 8, and sang red Beijing at the age of 16. Today, she is known as "one of the earliest female artists of Peking Opera in China". Why are rumors that she and Shang Xiaoyun will be "matched"? Because she often went in and out of Shang's house, she consulted Shang Xiaoyun.
There is also the famous prostitute Mika. According to legend, Shi Meixiang's name is known to everyone in Tsumon, but she did not really sell herself, just a "geisha". Some people say that no matter how talented they are singing, or their looks, Mei Xiang is like Shang Xiaoyun. What is even more amazing is that although she is a daughter, she has a male temperament and a bit of chivalry, which is also similar to Shang Xiaoyun.
However, they were all hurried passers-by in Shang Xiaoyun's life. In the end, the one who really became the bride was the daughter of Mei Lanfang's aunt, that is, Mei Lanfang's cousin Wang Ruifang. When the two became married, in January of the following year, Li Shuqing died less than a year ago. Regarding Wang Ruifang and Shang Xiaoyun, it is more or less like all couples living together, and their lives have come like this.
Although the road is full of thorns, they also join hands to walk through the chaotic world, avoid the flames of war, usher in liberation, and finally encounter the tide in the tide of the "Cultural Revolution". Fortunately, when Shang Xiaoyun died, Wang Ruifang has always been by her side, but she also saw the truth in the plain, and found happiness in the true feelings.
I have to say that Wang Ruifang is really a woman who has looked back five hundred times in her previous life for a marriage in a lifetime, and silently accompanied Shang Xiaoyun in the midst of hardship. This love, like fireworks, see a touch of stars, will not fade; such as green pines and green cypresses, when the snow presses the branches, it is still as dark green as new.
