Preface
Do you still remember that old artist who was unparalleled on the screen - Zhong Xinghuo?
"A single spark can start a prairie fire." This is the origin of his name.
The characters he created are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and have won widespread love.
But behind him is a painful family story.
He is a busy father. He has been away from home for a long time to film TV series or movies. He is unable to spend time with his family, which causes the relationship with his daughter to become tense.
When he lost his first wife and looked for love again, he was forced to leave home because of the opposition of his children.
Even at the last moment of his life, he failed to gain the understanding and acceptance of his children.
What is the reason behind all this?
regretfully passed away
In the centenary of the development of China's film industry, many excellent films have been remembered and praised by people, among which the name of an old man - Zhong Xinghuo.
He is a famous old artist in China who has created many deeply rooted characters.
However, he left behind his story and his regrets.
Before and after his death, Zhong Xinghuo had been looking forward to his daughter appearing by his side to accompany him through the final stage of his life.
However, until the end of his life, his daughters never visited him once, which made many people feel regretful and sad.
In fact, Zhong Xinghuo has three daughters, but none of them have visited their critically ill father.
It is said that , although the youngest daughter showed up at the funeral, she left quickly and did not even have a good look at her father's last face.
Behind him, there was a woman named Zhu Yunyi who missed him deeply and bravely stood up to reveal the truth, letting people know a true story about family, love and social responsibility.
Zhu Yunyi is Zhong Xinghuo's second wife. After Zhong Xinghuo's death, she saw the indifference of her three daughters, and her heart was filled with grief and anger.
She scolded her three daughters for being unfilial, letting them understand how much their father loved them and how much he had paid for them.
In fact, as early as 1982, Zhong Xinghuo had already met Zhu Yunyi and established a deep friendship with her as husband and wife.
Although their economic conditions are not very favorable, they support each other and jointly create a happy family environment.
In this process, Zhong Xinghuo made great efforts and sacrifices to ensure that his family could grow and develop in a stable and harmonious social environment.
For the sake of his family, Zhong Xinghuo endured a low-paying job and did not dare to buy new clothes. His life was very difficult.
Looking back over the past years, we can find that it was precisely because of Zhong Xinghuo's efforts and support that his daughters enjoyed good education and personal development opportunities.
Maybe this is one of the reasons why after Zhong Xinghuo passed away, his wife was willing to come forward.
She hopes that her three daughters will understand that without their father working hard outside, there will be no stable life for them.
became an actor
Zhong Xinghuo was born in a poor peasant family in Anhui Province in 1924. He was the third son of three brothers in the family.
However, due to financial reasons, the parents could not raise three people at the same time. In desperation, they gave their youngest son Zhong Xinghuo to a wealthy family in a neighboring village as an adopted son.
This was a difficult choice for Zhong Xinghuo, but he could only accept the reality.
Although Zhong Xinghuo felt confused due to the changes in his living environment, under the careful care and care of his adoptive parents, he gradually gained peace of mind.
The adoptive parents regarded Zhong Xinghuo as their own child and gave him good living conditions and educational environment.
When he was a teenager, his adoptive mother arranged a baby marriage for him.
However, Zhong Xinghuo’s dream is to become an actor. He is eager to express himself and convey positive energy by performing different roles.
Despite facing opposition from his family and pressure from society, Zhong Xinghuo always believed in his dream and was determined to realize it.
In order to realize his dream, Zhong Xinghuo began to read a large number of dramas and history books to improve his cultural literacy.
He also actively participated in school performances to practice his stage performance.
These experiences laid the foundation for his future acting career. In addition, he also taught himself acting courses to continuously improve his acting skills and fully prepare himself to stand out in the entertainment industry in the future.
In 1950, Zhong Xinghuo was fortunate enough to join the Shanghai Film Studio and began his career.
There, he had the opportunity to come into contact with professional screenwriters and directors, which further deepened his understanding of acting.
With his talented performance, he gradually emerged and won people's attention and love.
Zhong Xinghuo quickly established a foothold in Shanghai Film Studio with his superb acting skills and profound interpretation of the character.
In 1956, he received praise for his wonderful performance in "Railway Guerrilla", which was his first important breakthrough.
Subsequently, he successively took on roles in many film and television dramas, including "I Have a Day Off" and so on.
In these works, Zhong Xinghuo successfully created a series of vivid characters, leaving a deep impression on the audience.
This not only proves his talent and hard work in acting, but also brings a great improvement to his career.
The sadness behind the glamor
When he was 17 years old, he was forced to accept a seemingly perfect baby marriage and married a girl-Chen Qian.
Although living in different worlds, Chen Qian won the love of Zhong Xinghuo with her kindness and thoughtfulness, and provided him with selfless support, allowing him to realize his dream.
Chen Qian comes from a scholarly family and has a gentle and considerate personality. She understands Zhong Xinghuo's love for the film industry and even squanders her family's savings just so that Zhong Xinghuo can absorb more of the essence of movies.
Zhong Xinghuo was also moved by Chen Qian's selfless dedication, and their relationship gradually deepened.
However, the pressure of life and the responsibility for the family forced Zhong Xinghuo to leave his lover and children and devote himself to heavy work.
Chen Qian took on the responsibility of taking care of her three daughters alone, but was criticized by the villagers for this. The daughters were also bullied because of their father's absence.
This made the daughters full of resentment towards Zhong Xinghuo.
In the end, this separation became the trigger of tragedy. Chen Qian died in an accident, leaving deep regrets.
The family was torn apart due to the loss of spiritual support, and the daughters' resentment towards Zhong Xinghuo reached its peak.
Zhong Xinghuo remarried, and conflicts were about to break out.
After the death of his wife Chen Qian, he struggled with loneliness and sadness.
Chen Qian died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. Zhong Xinghuo was still working out of town at that time and could not come back to see her for the last time.
The three daughters were very sad about this and blamed Zhong Xinghuo for not being with his wife at the last moment.
Two years later, Zhong Xinghuo met the gentle and kind-hearted Zhu Yunyi.
She is a nurse and a single mother herself. The two have similar life experiences, so they came together.
Just when they wanted to build a better future together, they encountered strong opposition from their three daughters.
The daughters believe that their father was unfaithful to their mother by rushing to remarry just a few years after their mother died.
Since then, the residence where Zhong Xinghuo and Zhu Yunyi were married was visited many times by their daughters to cause trouble, and they had to move several times.
All this stems from Chen Qian's departure and the daughters' resentment that Zhong Xinghuo has not been with them at home for a long time.
In order to avoid a recurrence of the tragedy, Zhong Xinghuo could only take his new wife to find shelter in many places.
However, in the most difficult days, Zhong Xinghuo received help and support from his friends.
They introduced Zhu Yunyi to Zhong Xinghuo. They also found that Zhu Yunyi's appearance could not only relieve his mood, but also help him get back on his feet and devote himself to film work.
Although there were many conflicts and misunderstandings between father and daughter, in the end Zhong Xinghuo chose to forgive and understand his daughters' behavior.
The couple moved out of their original residence, put aside the troubles of the past, and restarted a beautiful life journey, because "time will heal everything."
But what I didn’t expect was that when Zhong Xinghuo passed away at the age of 90, he would not be able to wait for the understanding of his three daughters.
Zhong Xinghuo was one of the earliest movie stars after the founding of New China and played a huge role in the construction of the motherland.
Unexpectedly, after leaving behind his successful career, he was just an old man waiting for forgiveness from his daughters!
Conclusion
Whether in life or at work, we cannot ignore the importance of interpersonal relationships.
Especially in families, we should pay more attention to communication and understanding with loved ones to maintain a harmonious family atmosphere.
At the same time, we should also respect everyone's decision and believe that their choice will bring the best results.
However, life is full of variables, and some things may be beyond our control. For example, our loved ones may leave us.
This feeling of loss is painful, but it also makes us cherish the people and things in front of us more.
