In October 2006, Mrs. Wang Guangmei passed away quietly after celebrating her 85th birthday. In order to commemorate her, Beijing 305 Hospital set up a mourning hall, Liu Yuan held her portrait, and many people came to mourn.
With tears in their eyes, everyone paid tribute to this woman who had dedicated most of her life to the country. Soon after, two special guests came to the memorial service, they are *** Wang Guangmei's special actors Guo Fazeng and Liu Sleevejie.
Their appearance and demeanor are extremely similar to Wang Guangmei, evoking people's memories of the past life of *** couple. In an instant, time seemed to return to the years when Wang Guangmei and his wife accompanied each other.
1) The life change of the teenage scientist Wang Guangmei In 1921, Wang Guangmei was born in Beijing. Her father, Wang Zhichang, attended the Paris Peace Conference, and her mother was a famous family in Tianjin.
Thanks to her parents' excellent background, Wang Guangmei received a good education from an early age, and her academic performance has always been among the best, especially in mathematics. In 1943, she was successfully admitted to the Department of Chemical Physics of Fu Jen University and obtained a master's degree in atomic physics, becoming the first female master of atomic physics in China.
As a result of her excellent grades, she received full doctoral status from the University of Chicago and Stanford University. At this time, Wang Guangmei was full of fantasies about science, and she aspired to become a physicist like Marie Curie and contribute to science.
However, at the beginning of 1946, the contradictions between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party intensified, and the United States intervened in mediation and established the "Military Mediation and Enforcement Department" established by representatives of the Kuomintang, the Communist Party, and the United States. This incident changed Wang Guangmei's mind and also changed her life.
Wang Guangmei: The Transformation from English Translator to Revolutionary Aspirant In the difficult process of finding a good English translator, the CCP chose Wang Guangmei. Under the influence of her fourth brother, Wang Guangjie, Wang Guangmei developed a favorable impression of the Communist Party and was exposed to many progressive books during her college years.
On the recommendation of Cui Yueli, an underground party member, Wang Guangmei was selected to serve as the delegation's English interpreter. Although she was worried that she would delay her studies, she eventually took on the responsibility.
During more than half a year of translation work, Wang Guangmei gained a deeper understanding of communism and longed for Yan'an, the holy land of revolution. When the civil war broke out, Wang Guangmei chose to go to Yan'an without hesitation and gave up the opportunity to study in the United States.
Although she was asked if she regretted it, she firmly stated that becoming a member of the Communist Party was her lifelong pursuit, and it was more important to be able to contribute her strength to the country and the people.
In Yan'an, Wang Guangmei met *** The first meeting between the two was in the Foreign Affairs Bureau, and Mr. Zhu introduced him.
Mr. Zhu led the colleagues of the Foreign Affairs Bureau to the *** office to play, and everyone briefly introduced each other without much conversation. However, ** heard that Wang Guangmei came from Beijing and that she had been working in Beijing for a long time, so he asked her a few more words, asked her if she had joined the Communist Party, and encouraged her to work hard and strive to join as soon as possible.
Because Wang Guangmei is a highly educated talent, and she is from a famous family, she is also very beautiful and capable, so many outstanding young people in Yan'an have expressed their pursuit of her.
But Wang Guangmei did not intend to consider lifelong events, and politely refused them one by one. At that time, Yan'an held a dance party every Saturday, and the chiefs would participate. Wang Guangmei was dragged by her colleagues to participate in the ball, she couldn't shirk and followed the past, and happened to meet *** at the ball
Here, the two begin to talk deeply. But Wang Guangmei was very nervous in the face of the leadership and never dared to relax. Wang Guangmei was only 25 years old at the time, in the prime of his youth, and the taciturn *** was deeply attracted by this lively and beautiful woman, and he began to move his heart.
After that, ** would come to the Foreign Affairs Bureau from time to time, in fact, to see Wang Guangmei a few more times. It's just that Wang Guangmei has a big personality and didn't notice his thoughts.
Wang Guangmei's relationship with *** Wang Guangmei's relationship with *** is full of twists and turns and warmth. **After being transferred to Jinsui Land Reform, the two were separated for a year, until Wang Guangmei came to Xibaipo, and the two met again.
** decided not to be silent anymore, and began to take the initiative to find opportunities to communicate with Wang Guangmei, and the relationship between the two became deeper and deeper. In a conversation, ** showed his love to Wang Guangmei, hoping that she would consider him.
After some careful consideration, Wang Guangmei accepted ***'s courtship and decided to marry this man who was 23 years older than herself. In August 1948, ** and Wang Guangmei held a simple and warm wedding.
Although the conditions were simple, they still bought eggs, sugar, etc., which made the wedding full of excitement and festivity. After marriage, Wang Guangmei was transferred to *** by the organization and served as a secretary.
She has always assisted *** to help him make important news excerpts and deal with complicated affairs. Although she is the wife of ***, she always puts discipline first, never asks about things between leaders, and never gets close to ***'s desk.
In life, Wang Guangmei is also well organized. She helped *** find her long-lost children, regarded the 5 children born by *** and her ex-wife as her own, and taught them to read and study, help them summarize their notes, and answer questions.
Although their lives are full of challenges, they have always supported each other and have gone through a wonderful relationship together.
Wang Guangmei, a mother of nine children, knows that her family has a large population and large expenses, so every time she pays her salary, she will distribute the money reasonably, and her own meal expenses are the lowest.
Her virtue and frugality earned her the respect and affection of the whole family. In 1963, ** led a delegation to visit abroad, and Wang Guangmei went to Shanghai to choose clothes and ask Soong Qingling for diplomatic etiquette.
Her meticulous preparation and elegant image have earned her the praise of the country. In her later years, Wang Guangmei devoted herself to the construction of the "Happiness Project", despite suffering from cancer, she still struggled for the smile of her poor mother, and her dedication and love won everyone's admiration and respect.
She has long been committed to caring for poor women in remote areas, trekking through mountains and rivers, not afraid of hard work, just to bring warmth to those in need. For example, in October 1995, Ms. Wang Guangmei came to Yu'an Village, an immigration area in Dali County, Shaanxi Province, to visit the home of her poor mother, Wang Shangying.
Her family is in a difficult situation, with only two beds and some shabby furniture, and her mother-in-law, who is 85 years old, is bedridden. Despite these difficulties, Wang Guangmei did not give up, she comforted them carefully, chatted with them, and understood their difficulties.
In order to help these poor mothers, she also donated all her living expenses and the money given by her children to welfare charities. Even, when she flipped through the newspaper and accidentally learned about the auction of cultural relics, she remembered several collections left by her mother, which she cherished like a child.
So, she decided to put a few antiquities up for auction to help her poor mother. At the auction site, the atmosphere was warm, and everyone actively participated in the bidding. In the end, these six antiquities ended in 5660,000 yuan sold.
And Wang Guangmei did not keep a penny of these money, and donated all of it to the Hope Project. She said affectionately: "In addition to fulfilling her mother's wishes, this is also for Comrade Nian Shaoqi's love."
What is there for the living? ”
Wang Guangmei's feat has caused widespread social repercussions, and her pure and beautiful original intention has touched countless people"Project Hope"Donation. For example, Mr. Chan Kwan Sit from Hong Kong was inspired by her charity and generously donated $500,000. An old overseas Chinese in Indonesia also donated 300,000 yuan.
There are even some people who are not wealthy, and they try their best to contribute. For example, an old worker at the Panzhihua Iron and Steel Plant donated the only 8 yuan in his pocket.
Although his wife has been suffering from cancer for 2 years, they have lost their money in order to treat the disease. As of October 2005"Happiness Project"A total of 15 have been rescued40,000 poor mothers, the investment reached 3100 million yuan.
Countless families have improved their lives with the help of this funding. For example, Chen Chaoqiu, a poor mother in Maoba Township, Xuanhan, Sichuan, took advantage"Happiness Project"The 2,000 yuan payment was used to buy a large cow, and by raising cattle, pigs and chickens, the income reached 120,000 yuan, paid off the loan, built a new house, and gradually improved life.
In 2006, although she was seriously ill and bedridden for a long time, Wang Guangmei still put pen to paper"Bud does good deeds and dedicates love"Eight big characters were finally auctioned for 200,000 yuan.
When her daughter Liu Tingting told her the news, Wang Guangmei was so excited that she cried. She didn't expect that she would still be able to contribute to the country in the last moments of her life. Although she wanted to pick up a pen and write again, she was too weak to hold the pen steadily. "
Wang Guangmei's condition deteriorated again, and it became difficult to even speak, but she still struggled to get up and looked at her daughter. Liu Tingting knew that her mother couldn't let go of the Hope Project, so she hurriedly comforted: "Mother, you don't have to worry, I will continue to do the Hope Project, so that love will continue to pass on in the world." ”
Hearing this, Wang Guangmei showed a relieved smile, she raised her arms with difficulty, clenched her hands into fists, and waved to her daughter to express her gratitude. Seeing this, Liu Tingting couldn't help crying bitterly: "Mother, I can't bear you like this, the hope project is not only your hard work, but also what we should do." ”
In mid-October 2006, Wang Guangmei passed away without regrets, and completed her bumpy life at the age of 85. At the memorial service, two special guests appeared, they were Li Ne and Mao Xinyu, who were members of the Mao family.
Li Ne also asked his son to help Wang Guangmei's son Liu Yuan handle all affairs and reduce his burden.
The former vice premier is 93 years old, but he still disregarded his son's dissuasion and personally saw off his former revolutionary comrades in a wheelchair. On Wang Guangmei's mourning hall, she was wearing the party flag and sleeping in the flowers, Liu Tingting's expression was heavy, and Liu Yuan held the statue in his hand to salute.
They all stood beside the other children of *** and mourned Guangmei's mother together. The two sides of the mourning hall are covered with wreaths and banners, on which are written touching words such as "Mom goes all the way", "Grandma, I will always miss you", "May Comrade Wang Guangmei rest in peace".
The low mourning music continued, and suddenly, two special guests appeared in front of the mourning hall, they were *** and Wang Guangmei's special actors Guo Fazeng and Liu Sleevejie.
Seeing their appearance, everyone cried bitterly, as if they saw the appearance of the *** couple when they were young. Liu Yuan and Liu Tingting hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, holding their hands tightly, as if they were reunited with their parents.
So, why were Guo Fazeng and Liu Sleevejie able to attend the memorial service of the old man Wang Guangmei in person? It turns out that they are not only the special actors of the *** couple, but also their good friends.
Back in 1969, ** died in Kaifeng, Wang Guangmei did not see her husband for the last time because she loved him deeply, which became the regret of her life. At the funeral, Wang Guangmei held Shaoqi's posthumous photo and cried bitterly, she lost her voice and said: "It's all my fault that I didn't take good care of him, so I let him die early." ”
Comrade Shaoqi once had a last wish: "When I die, scatter my ashes into the sea, just like Engels, and let the ashes float in the five oceans, I hope to witness mankind move towards a communist society." ”
On May 19, 1980, Wang Guangmei led the children of the Liu family to fulfill her husband's last wish, scattering his ashes into the sea and being escorted by the North Sea Fleet.
In order to inherit the revolutionary spirit of Comrade Shaoqi, Wang Guangmei decided to make film and television works to show his life and glorious image. In order to allow special actors to better play *** and Wang Guangmei, she personally checked the gates, communicated with them many times, and personally told the revolutionary story of ***, providing material for the actors.
Although there are many special actors who play *** couples, only Guo Fazeng and Liu Sleevejie are the two that Wang Guangmei has the most contact with. They often come to Wang Guangmei's house to eat and chat, and the two sides have established a deep relationship, so the children of the Liu family have a very high respect for them.
Liu Sleevejie stood out in the film and television industry with his superb acting skills, and shined in many works with his outstanding performances. By chance, because of his similar height, appearance and temperament to Wang Guangmei, he was selected to become Wang Guangmei's special actor, which was highly recognized by Wang Guangmei.
In "Shaoqi Special Train" and "Forty-four Days of **", Liu Sleevejie's performance is impressive. When he received the director's notice to play Comrade Wang Guangmei, Liu Sleevejie was excited, because Wang Guangmei is a perfect woman who can't be reached by herself, and it is a great honor to be able to play this role.
However, she is also worried that she will not be able to accurately convey Wang Guangmei's spiritual outlook, and it will be disrespectful to Wang Guangmei if she does not act well. However, she was not intimidated by the difficulties and decided to bravely take on the challenge.
In order to better portray this character, Liu Sleevejie will carefully study the script every day, check historical materials, and gain an in-depth understanding of Wang Guangmei's life experience, hoping to vividly present this character.
During the intense rehearsal process, she even went insane at one point. After learning about Liu Sleevejie's difficulties, Wang Guangmei took the initiative to invite her to her home to share with her how to shape the character and tell her about her past.
This kind of interaction not only benefited Liu Sleevejie a lot, but also made Wang Guangmei feel very gratified, thinking that Liu Sleevejie is a rare and excellent actor.
In the exchange with Wang Guangmei, Liu Sleevejie gradually got to know her. Liu pays special attention to the subtleties of Wang Guangmei in order to better shape her character. Through constant communication, Liu Sleevejie let go of his baggage and began to boldly create characters.
Comrade Wang Guangmei is approachable, tolerant, gentle, and courteous in life. In her later years, she enjoyed photography, watching ballet, and listening to Peking Opera. In order to better show Wang Guangmei's temperament, Liu Sleevejie also came into contact with Peking Opera, ballet and photography.
This sublimates her inner image. When starring in "Forty-four Days of **", in order to reproduce the image of Wang Guangmei in the 60s, Wang Guangmei herself even lent the clothes she wore back then, and personally guided her, making the role of "Wang Guangmei" a great success.
Liu Sleevejie's performance shows the dignified atmosphere, vivid and vivid Wang Guangmei, whether it is temperament, micro-expression or demeanor, it is highly restored.
In the face of praise, Liu Sleevejie modestly said that the audience's love stemmed from Ms. Wang Guangmei's excellent performance and touching singing, and she always regarded Wang Guangmei as a model for learning and a lifelong pursuit.
On the screen, Guo Fa has perfectly created the image of ***, injected life into this character, and was even considered to be very similar to *** when he was young.
However, his father was against him pursuing an acting career, but in the end he succeeded in playing the role of ***, fulfilling the prophecy of his childhood classmates.
After studying in Chinese opera for four years, Guo Fa relied on his eldest brother to send 50 yuan a month to complete his studies. In 1984, in order to film "Comrade Shaoqi in the Northeast", the crew found Guo Fazeng with great difficulty, hoping that he could play Comrade ***.
At that time, the crew looked for five candidates, and also asked the opinion of Deng Liqun, the former secretary, to determine the most suitable candidate.
Under the recommendation of actor Deng Liqun, the crew found Guo Fazeng, who is most like ***. However, Comrade Wang Guangmei expressed a subtle attitude towards this candidate, she believed that it was a matter for the crew, and let them make a decision first.
When the crew determined that Guo Fa was the actor of ***, Wang Guangmei expressed a high degree of satisfaction to him, and invited him to come to the house to talk, and also invited a nanny who had followed *** for many years to introduce the situation of *** back then, encouraging him to perform boldly and play this role alive.
Under the guidance of Wang Guangmei, Guo Fazeng has a deeper understanding of the character of Chairman Liu, and he is also handy in acting, and his performance is becoming more and more vivid. When "Comrade Shaoqi in the Northeast" was broadcast, the market responded enthusiastically, and some people praised Guo Fazeng's performance for "both god and form".
Wang Guangmei was also very happy with this result, she specially hosted a banquet to entertain Guo Fazeng and his wife, and said that Comrade Shaoqi's screen image was so successful for the first time, and she was very pleased.
Since then, Guo Fa has been very busy as a special actor of ***, he has starred in many works, and has asked Wang Guangmei many times for advice on how to better play ***
Once, Wang Guangmei also deliberately found the relics of Comrade Shaoqi and asked him to choose. In the end, he chose the Mao suit worn by Comrade Shaoqi when he visited Southeast Asian countries as the performance costume.
A conversation with Wang Guangmei made Guo Fazeng decide to change his figure, strictly control his diet every day, even if he was so hungry that he couldn't stand steadily, he persevered, and lost more than 20 pounds in a month.
Because his appearance and performance are very realistic, he has played the president of the republic in many films, became friends with Wang Guangmei's family, and even won the approval of the children of the Liu family.
Therefore, when Wang Guangmei died, Liu Sleevejie and Guo Fazeng felt very sad, and they came to attend the memorial service of this "happy mother". When Wang Guangmei's body was carried out of the farewell hall, Guo Fazeng and Liu Sleevejie couldn't help crying.
They have always respected Wang Lao and regarded her as a noble person in their lives, but at this moment, Yin and Yang are separated, and their hearts ache.
After seeing the grief of Guo Fazeng and Liu Zhijie, General Liu Yuan couldn't help but burst into tears. He has always looked serious and solemn in front of outsiders, but at this moment he can't help but burst into tears.
He bowed deeply to his mother's body, held the statue in both hands, and watched the coffin slowly depart. After the coffin left, relatives and friends took a group photo of Guo Fazeng and Liu Sleevejie in order to commemorate the couple, expressing their deep nostalgia for their two great men in a special way.
The interpretation of Guo Fazeng and Liu Sleevejie has deeply imprinted the spirit of the *** couple in people's hearts and inspired generation after generation to work hard for the construction of New China.
