In 1991, after Zhao Benshan became popular, he went home and filed for divorce from his first wife, Ge Shuzhen. Zhao Benshan looked at Ge Shuzhen uneasily, but Ge Shuzhen's reaction surprised him.
Ge Shuzhen was born into a poor rural family. Her parents died very early, and she was left to live with relatives. She was not very literate and could only read to the third grade.
When she reached the age of discussing marriage, the matchmaker in the next village introduced her to a partner, Zhao Benshan.
Zhao Benshan is also a hard-working young man. His mother died early and there is no news about his father going out to work. He grew up with his blind second uncle and learned to sing duo to make a living.
Looking at the poor Zhao Benshan, Ge Shuzhen did not dislike him.
The two got married soon. Ge Shuzhen was a hard-working girl. She married Zhao Benshan for no other reason than to live a prosperous life.
Ge Shuzhen became pregnant soon after her marriage, and gave birth to her daughter Zhao Yufang the following year.
Two years later, she gave birth to a son, Zhao Tiedan, who was deaf and mute and also suffered from heart disease.
In order to earn money to treat his son, Zhao Benshan performed everywhere. The burden of farm work and childcare at home fell on Ge Shuzhen.
In 1982, Zhao Benshan's performance of "Throwing Three Strings" was a great success and he suddenly became a local celebrity.
As Zhao Benshan became more and more busy with his career, Zhao Benshan had less and less time to go home, and the couple gradually drifted apart.
In 1990, Zhao Benshan became famous with his Spring Festival Gala sketch and became a household name.
But after becoming famous, Zhao Benshan said to Ge Shuzhen: "Let's get a divorce!"
He looked at Ge Shuzhen uneasily, but Ge Shuzhen's reaction surprised him.
Ge Shuzhen didn't ask anything, nor did she cry, make trouble, or hang herself. She just said calmly: "Divorce is okay, but you have to compensate me."
Zhao Benshan immediately said: "Okay, I will give you as much as I have. I'll earn it myself." After saying that, he left the 250,000 yuan and the garage and left the house.
It turns out that Zhao Benshan met Ma Lijuan during the performance, and Ma Lijuan was a teacher at the opera school.
The two of them share the same goals and hobbies, and they hate each other for meeting each other so late. As time goes by, they develop a mutual affection for each other.
After the divorce, Zhao Benshan married Ma Lijuan; while Ge Shuzhen was dependent on her two children.
Soon after, her son Tiedan died of illness. Ge Shuzhen was devastated and became seriously ill.
At this time, her daughter Zhao Yufang was admitted to college, and Ge Shuzhen also came to Dalian to take care of her daughter.
Ge Shuzhen opened a small restaurant in Dalian, which barely covered the expenses.
Her friends persuaded her to use Zhao Benshan's reputation to do business, but she disagreed and insisted on relying on her own strength.
Over the years, Ge Shuzhen has never consumed Zhao Benshan, nor has she said a bad word about him.
She often educates her daughter: "We divorced because we were together less and separated more, which led to emotional isolation. Although we are divorced, my father still loves you very much."
Ge Shuzhen dedicated everything to Zhao Benshan without regrets, but After Zhao Benshan succeeded, he failed her.
So Zhao Benshan said: "The person I am most sorry for in my life is my ex-wife. I can't hold my head high in front of her all my life."
The success of many men is inseparable from a good wife and loving mother like Ge Shuzhen.
But they don't know how to cherish it. They can only share the hardships with her, but not the joys and sorrows with her.
A good wife plays a great role in a man's life.
