On July 23, Wang Mingquan and Luo Jiaying's mainland tour officially opened.
The first stop was in Luo Jiaying's hometown of Foshan, Guangdong.
The scene was full of seats, and the response was enthusiastic, evoking the memories of the next two generations.
A fan said in an interview:
"This concert awakened the excitement in the hearts of our Foshan people. ”
"Sister hasn't had a concert for a long time, and I'm looking forward to every golden song. ”
Although there are also people, the two of them are old, and the song is still the song of the year, but the voice and breath are no longer what they used to be.
However, seeing that the two couples who are in their seventies can still work together to engage in careers, people can't help but think of their touching love.
Before meeting each other, both of them were deeply hurt, but they were still able to muster up the courage to hug their lovers again.
After 21 years of love, after both suffering from cancer, they finally removed the last hard shell in their hearts and entered into marriage hand in hand in their 60s.
The marriage that was won with great difficulty should have received a blessing, but just because the two insisted on the AA system, many people felt that this was not true love.
In other words, Wang Mingquan doesn't love Luo Jiaying.
In 1987, the Cantonese opera "Mu Guiying vs. Hongzhou" entered rehearsals, and the director invited Luo Jiaying to play the leading role and Wang Mingquan to play the heroine, and the two met.
When they met, they were both scarred people, and no one thought that this cooperation would make them each other's salvation.
This drama is a big challenge for Wang Mingquan.
In order to complete it, Wang Mingquan agreed to appear at the same time, and put forward a request:Law Ka-ying had to teach her to perform Cantonese opera for a year, during which she was not allowed to take on other jobs.
Luo Jiaying was naturally happy, because he had already fallen in love with her at first sight.
Since then, they have been attending classes three times a week, rain or shine.
Classes have become an opportunity for them to have frequent contact, and the communication between the two has gradually increased.
Gradually, Luo Jiaying is not just Wang Mingquan's teacheralso became her assistant and driver, helping her take care of various things and sending her to various places.
The two hearts have been close together, but neither of the two of them, who are in their forties, pierced this layer of window paper.
A year passed quickly, and with the help of Luo Jiaying, Wang Mingquan's acting skills have been greatly improved, and finally the performance of "Mu Guiying vs. Hongzhou" was a complete success.
It was a happy eventBut Luo Jiaying was a little lost.
When the cooperation is over, what excuse should he use to contact her?
Wang Mingquan became famous in Hong Kong very early and has a high status in the entertainment industry, while Luo Jiaying is very famous in the Cantonese opera circleBut at that time, Cantonese opera was in decline, and the audience was getting smaller and smaller, and even his livelihood became a problem.
There is a big gap between the two in terms of identity and status.
Therefore, he has never dared to show his heart.
However, Wang Mingquan had long known his affection and was also moved by his true feelings, and after the performance, she took the initiative to come to him, gave him a hug, and kissed him on the cheek.
All this came too suddenly, Luo Jiaying's face turned red, and she said a little shy and a little flustered"I'm not going to let people bully you on stage. ”
Two brave people finally broke through the barriers in their hearts and came together.
Since then, the two have started a 21-year love run.
During this period, Luo Jiaying proposed marriage many times, but Wang Mingquan rejected them.
Because of the previous injury, it really hurt, and she was really scared.
But he didn't force her, but accompanied her ** heart hurt and waited for her.
No one thought that,What made the two remove the last layer of defense and enter marriage was three life and death separations.
The first time I parted from life and death, it was Wang Mingquan who suffered from cancer.
Wang Mingquan has suffered from cancer twice.
In 1994, she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, but fortunately, her body recovered after **.
In 2002, tragedy struck again, and she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
When she received the doctor's **, she hurried back to Hong Kong, Luo Jiaying went to pick her up, sent her to the hospital, and accompanied her for surgery.
He told her:"Don't worry, I'll take care of you, I'll be out soon. ”
Because it was the early stage, after the tumor was removed, Wang Mingquan's body gradually improved.
Luo Jiaying once again proposed marriage, Wang Mingquan, who had passed the test of life and deathThere is some loosening, and I promise that I will think about it.
The second parting of life and death was when Luo Jiaying suffered from cancer.
In 2004, Luo Jiaying was diagnosed with liver cancer, and Wang Mingquan secretly cried all night.
After dawn, she said to Luo Jiaying, don't be afraid, I will take care of youWe'll get married when you're well.
After waiting for many years, Luo Jiaying never expected that Wang Mingquan would say that she would marry him at such a moment.
This sentence gave him a lot of confidence and gave him the courage to fight the disease.
The third parting of life and death was the death of Luo Jiaying's mother.
In 2007, when his mother died and wanted to post an obituary, Luo Jiaying asked if she could put her name on it, because the two had been together for many years, and her mother had long recognized her identity as a daughter-in-law.
But Wang Mingquan said that he had no name and couldn't let go.
This incident accelerated the process of marriage between the two, but because they were busy with each other's work, they only completed the registration two years later.
That year, Wang Mingquan was 61 years old and Luo Jiaying was 62 years old.
After getting married, they revealed that the two were financially independent and implemented the AA system.
Luo Jiaying also said that Wang Mingquan is relatively strong and wants to control a lot of things, but she doesn't want to be controlled by her, and there will be a lot of quarrels.
Some people say that in this marriage, the person who is favored is Wang MingquanShe is touched by him, it is affection, not love.
Is that really the case? Not really.
Wang Mingquan once said on the show that at the end of the play they worked together for the first time, she admired Luo Jiaying's heroic appearance on stage.
She also felt that Luo Jiaying promised her not to take on other performances for a year, and it was very rare to keep her promise when it was very difficult to live a sharp decline in income.
So after the performance, Wang Mingquan gave him a kissThat kiss contains gratitude, gratitude, appreciation.
Because of appreciation and love, she was willing to be with him.
In the years that followed, this love also ran throughout.
So,She will want to marry him when he is seriously ill, and will supervise him to take medicine and ** after his operation
Moreover, the matter of love itself is complicatedIt may stem from mutual appreciation, and later it is mixed with emotion, gratitude, suffering, and so on.
If there is no love, how can a pair of lovers go so long?
As for the AA system after marriage, it is normal, in fact, Luo Jiaying has said many timesWang Mingquan earns more than him, and he doesn't want her money.
Therefore, I spend my own money and pay my family expenses on time.
And he didn't earn much, so naturally he didn't have any money for Wang Mingquan, so naturally the AA system was formed.
He also emphasized that the two are not concerned about a penny of money, but they both pay for their lives together.
Perhaps, in this marriage, Wang Mingquan is indeed the one who is favored.
But as Luo Jiaying said,Wang Mingquan was very strong before she met him, and it made no sense that because she met him, she was forced to change her personality and become weak, after all, it was a habit for more than sixty years.
The way two people get along in marriage is largely the result of their personalities.
It is difficult to judge love or not love by a certain action, or a certain way, or even a certain sentence.
Moreover, in any marriage, there will be quarrels, and there will be moments that make the people in it sad and even retreat.
But this does not prevent everyone from choosing to move forward together again after the incident has passed.
Maybe the essence of marriage or love is that after repeated conflicts and retreats, you are still willing to choose to continue to walk hand in hand again and again.
Again,Not only love and marriage, any relationship will be unhappy, but some relationships are born to not be severed, and some relationships are easy to fall apart.
Unfortunately, marriage and love are the latter.
But even so, we can be like Luo Jiaying and Wang Mingquan, brave to love.
