Lantian Ye, an almost legendary name, came to prominence during the Anti-Japanese War.
During the day, he played the role of an actor trusted by the Kuomintang, but when night fell, he changed his identity to an underground member of our party, secretly passing on important information.
Immediately after liberation, he devoted himself to the construction of the country's art, but Lan Tianye never revealed his experience to anyone.
Wang Runsen grew up in a wealthy family, but when he was 10 years old, the Japanese invaders invaded our land.
Even more unfortunate, Wang Runsen's father and grandfather passed away one after another, and the reputation of the once glorious Wang family was lost.
In the chaotic situation of life, Wang Runsen was successfully admitted to the art school under the guidance of Xu Beihong and other teachers, at the age of 17.
In the face of such a turbulent situation, it is difficult for him to sit calmly at the drawing table when he is about to step into the university gate.
At that time, many students chose to spread new ideas through drama, and acting became the most direct and effective way.
As a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, Wang Runsen was invited by his classmates to join a progressive drama club.
Wang Runsen was not very interested in drama performance at first, and he believed that painting could express thoughts and emotions more directly.
Under the persuasion of his classmates, he was finally persuaded to participate in his first theatrical performance.
When Wang Runsen first appeared on stage, he was very uneasy, after all, this was his first time facing the audience.
And when he played the role of the indignant young student who shouted slogans, he experienced unprecedented power.
He noticed that the audience was also beginning to be infected by the passion of the actors, and shouted together, as if they had merged into the torrent of the times.
From this time, Wang Runsen began to realize that drama is more communicative and appealing than painting.
On that stage, he was deeply touched by passion and a sense of purpose, so he decided to transfer his passion to stage performances, putting his paintbrush aside for the time being.
Wang Runsen ventured into drama performance, but soon showed his talent.
He was able to convey the emotions of his characters with precision, and the audience loved his performances.
Wang Runsen walked into the house excitedly after a wonderful drama performance in the cold evening.
Unexpectedly, he saw that his third sister, Shi Mei, who had not seen him for a long time, was talking to her mother.
Wang Runsen shouted happily: "Third sister, why are you back!."However, Shi Mei immediately motioned for him to be quiet. Unlike Wang Runsen's excitement, Shi Mei's face did not show joy.
She held out her index finger in front of her mouth, suggesting that her brother be quiet.
Shi Mei then told Wang Runsen that she had joined the Communist Party and that she was not only going home to visit relatives, but also had other tasks to perform.
Wang Runsen was extremely excited, he believed that this would be his opportunity to contribute to the motherland, and strongly asked to join the underground organization.
Shi Mei agreed to appoint him as a temporary traffic officer, using his position among the students and his own skills to secretly deliver messages and supplies.
Wang Runsen's life has changed dramatically, he has actively participated in the activities of underground organizations, and he is deeply immersed in an atmosphere full of patriotic enthusiasm.
As a temporary traffic officer, he devoted his talents and efforts to his dedication to the country.
As an underground worker, Wang Runsen carried the account of the party organization, and his task was to obtain valuable information from the enemy.
With his status as an actor in the repertory troupe, he could easily approach the audience of high society and pass on the information obtained to the rest of the party functionaries.
During the day, he devotes himself to his role-playing duties, rehearsing performances with the rest of the troupe
In the evening, he would compile useful information and pass it on to the party.
After the end of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the flames of the Liberation War spread, and Wang Runsen's mission as an underground party member did not end.
He is given a new task to go deep into the enemy's interior to gather vital intelligence.
Just as the event was about to begin, the enemy unexpectedly appeared at the door.
In order to ensure the safety of the comrades' evacuation, Runsen had to delay the enemy's scrutiny and buy precious time.
He impressed his enemies as a high-profile theatrical actor, winning their trust through his kind words and offering free tickets to the show prepared in advance, even promising to charter a performance for them.
The enemy high-ranking ** is slackening his vigilance because he is favored, complacent, happy and indulgent, and is immersed in the sense of superiority in dealing with the hostile class. And Runsen is taking the opportunity to eavesdrop on important information.
Many underground workers, like Wang Runsen, silently dedicate themselves and work silently for the best of the world.
This kind of work is awe-inspiring, full of courage and loyalty. They selflessly contributed their wisdom and courage, just like those who defended their country.
In 1948, Wang Runsen led the entire repertory troupe members to secretly transfer, and he changed his name to Lantian Ye to ensure the safety of his comrades.
For him, changing his name is not only a symbol of new beginnings, but also a greater responsibility to his family and friends.
Wang Runsen's name change was not impulsive, but a constant reminder of his struggle for the interests of the people.
His stunts and talents were highly appreciated by Lao She after liberation, and he was selected to play the role of Qin Zhongyi in "Teahouse".
In order to gain a deeper understanding of this haunting character, Lan Tianye often visits and observes real teahouse houses in person.
He witnessed pedestrians coming and going on the street and listened to the storyteller's speech in the teahouse, which gave him a deeper sense of the character's mindset and thoughts.
In 1958, Lan Tianye's interpretation allowed the audience to perfectly see the original fictional image of Qin Erye, and "Teahouse" was successfully staged.
His superb performance has been unanimously praised by audiences at home and abroad, and the successful interpretation of the role of Qin Erye has opened a new chapter for Lantian Ye's road in the entertainment industry.
He is committed to imparting acting skills and experience, actively exploring better teaching methods, and cultivating many outstanding theatrical talents in education.
Over the years, the seeds he sowed have borne fruit, giving birth to many outstanding actors and works.
In 2021, Lantian Ye was awarded the "July 1st Medal" for its outstanding contribution to the national cultural cause, which became the focus of attention from all walks of life.
Unfortunately, in 2022, Lan Tianye passed away at home due to a sudden illness at the age of 95.
His passing is mourned, but at the same time, he is proud of and highly praised for his varied artistic career.
Xiao Wanshi also had a similar experience to him, he was an anti-Japanese hero. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he immediately responded to the call of the country and joined the anti-Japanese guerrillas together with his eldest brother Xiao Wannian and second brother Xiao Wangui.
The guerrillas were unfortunately discovered and disbanded by the enemy, Xiao Wanshi's eldest brother Xiao Wannian died tragically, and the second brother Xiao Wangui disappeared mysteriously, and his life and death were uncertain.
For Xiao Wanshi, this kind of blow is simply unbearable in the cruel reality.
Xiao Wanshi was not crushed by grief by the huge blow, he made up his mind to continue to burn the anti-Japanese flame in his heart and fight the enemy to the end.
Xiao Wanshi's guerrilla unit was fortunate enough to join the Eighth Route Army in July 1937 and became a member of the revolutionary organization.
During a reconnaissance mission, Xiao Wanshi and four or five other soldiers quietly went and found a dozen Japanese soldiers bathing by the river.
Xiao Wanshi secretly seized the enemy's clothing, and then led his comrades to charge and destroy all the enemies. His heroic fighting spirit made him famous in the ranks of the revolution.
Xiao Wanshi not only once infiltrated the devil's turret with a comrade-in-arms and successfully killed 19 Japanese soldiers, but his bravery and decisiveness became a model for everyone, inspiring every revolutionary soldier to defeat the enemy.
Xiao Wanshi's life has experienced unremitting struggle and hardship, undertaken countless combat missions, and made great achievements. After retiring, he never mentioned his experience as a soldier and has always lived a low-key and secretive life.
When Xiao Wanshi was dying, he made a humble and low-key request: after his death, please do not inform his comrades-in-arms, and do not hold any memorial services, so as not to cause trouble for others.
As a revolutionary and artist, Mr. Lantian Ye has left a valuable spiritual wealth in his life, and his professionalism and patriotism inspire us to continue to move forward and contribute to the new era.
Let us take Mr. Lantian Ye as a model, remember the original intention, move forward firmly, and use our practice to write our own wonderful life.
