Yan Fengying, master of Huangmei Opera: Live for the opera and die for it. Why didn't it come to a good end?

Why did Huangmei Opera in Hubei go to Anhui?

Later, after explanation, I understood and suddenly realized that Huangmei Opera was washed to Anhui by the flood. Huangmei opera has a strong local flavor and is very touching, and I have become a Huangmei guy.

Nowadays, Huangmei Opera has become one of the "five major operas" in China, and Yan Fengying is an important figure who made Huangmei Opera spread to all parts of the country quickly and pushed its development to a new height.

She is the main pioneer who made Huangmei Opera known and loved by the people all over the country in a short time, and spread it overseas to complete the historical development of "triple jump".

It is the song "Fairy Descending" that makes Huangmei Opera famous all over the country, even overseas.

Yan Fengying was born in April 1930 in a small mountain village in Anqing, Anhui. Anqing is the hometown of Huangmei Opera. Its singing is lively and smooth, simple and natural, simple and meticulous, lively and true, and local people like to sing.

Yan Fengying's parents became addicted to drugs when she was very young. When she was four years old, she was raised in her grandparents' house. Yan Fengying likes opera more than singing.

At the age of 10, Yan Fengying boldly and secretly learned to sing from a teacher. She is also very talented in this field, and because she loves it, she is obsessed with it and sings very well. When 12 years old, she can perform in her hometown of Luo Jialing.

You know, at that time, Yan Fengying was already the most popular character in Huangmei Opera in Anqing, but this performance did not get applause from the audience, but almost killed himself.

It turned out that in this closed and backward place, the locals thought it was "immoral" for girls to perform on stage. According to the rules, it is necessary to "sink the pool".

Yan Fengying heard that he ran away that night and went to Anqing to continue singing.

At that time, people who sang operas were not valued and their status was very low. If they are a little more beautiful, there is a great risk that they will be taken away by local strongmen. Although Yan was not really beautiful, her appearance at that time was also very general, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she was born with beauty.

During a performance, I was attracted by a local captain of the Self-Defense Force. The rascal wants Yan Fengying to be his third aunt. How could Yan Fengying agree? In desperation, she began to play dumb, crying and singing with the sheets, which was crazy. Maybe the captain's old mother was ashamed and let her go.

Yan Fengying, who regained his freedom, couldn't go back to his former troupe, so he had to beg along the way and go to Qingyang to continue singing.

Qingyang is not much better than Anqing.

In those chaotic times, people were robbed from time to time. This time, she was robbed by a local bully. Yan Fengying fought to the death and swallowed the gold. His temper is as fierce as a wild horse. The bully thought about the benefits and didn't get it. Instead, she provoked a slut and finally let her go.

After several narrow escapes, she was still a fortune teller. After that, Yan Fengying wandered to Shanghai, worked as a singer in a ballroom, and later went to Nanjing, where he had no fixed abode and wandered around.

Life is like this, and it's hard to say.

It was also in Nanjing that she met her later husband, Manny.

Yan was good at singing and dancing, with a mellow tone and a clear and euphemistic voice, so she was able to join the most influential club in Nanjing at that time, and Manny was one of the organizers of this club.

Two people of just the right age, who have the art of loving each other, are not bad. Now it seems that they are a golden couple. Although Gan was married, his wife died for some reason, so there was no scruples. So, it wasn't long before the two of them moved in together.

However, the Ganlu family is a big family in the local area and attaches great importance to etiquette. It was immoral to live together without marriage at that time, and two people were not married.

After liberation, the state encouraged the development of cultural and entertainment industries, and Yan Fengying returned to his hometown of Anqing to perform. With the support of the policy, Yan Fengying is like a duck to water, which not only improves the social status of literary and art workers, but also improves the performance environment.

She often feels that the old society regards me as grass and the new society regards me as treasure. So she is very supportive of the party and the government. In addition to doing a good job as a literary and art worker, she also actively cooperated with the implementation of various national policies, such as land reform, publicizing the marriage law, and resisting US aggression and aiding Korea.

Here, she met Wang Zhaoqian, the second man in her life. They had a good relationship at that time. Without a later visit to her ex-boyfriend, it might not be impossible for them to live together, because Yan Fengying was pregnant.

On one occasion, Yan Fengying wanted to bring a gift to thank her ex-boyfriend Manny for her help and care, but Wang Zhaoqian disagreed. As stubborn as Yan Fengying, it was useless for anyone to say that he believed in anything, let alone that he could make his own decisions on such a small matter.

Wang Zhaoqian couldn't beat her, so she had to follow her. When meeting Manny, Yan Fengying generously introduced Wang Zhaoqian to the other party: "This is my boyfriend." Behold, words just say that finish, got a slap in the face of Wang Zhaoqian.

In Wang Zhaoqian's view at that time, it was unnecessary. It was also said that Yan Fengying liked gambling at that time, but Wang Zhaogan was more opposed and dissatisfied on weekdays. This time, he took the opportunity to vent.

This slap in the face personally ruined the fate of two people.

Although Wang Zhaoqian's baby is still in the belly, Yan Fengying, who is determined, insists on breaking up. Soon, she gave birth to her son Wang.

After the baby was born, the biological father Wang Zhaoqian never came to see it again. He just sent a telegram and said something about the scene, which was nothing more than wishing the mother and son peace. Yan Fengying is very rude to each other. She never allows her children to see Wang Zhaoqian. It was not until after her death that her second husband broke this rule out of kindness.

Nowadays, having children out of wedlock is also stressful, not to mention at that time, but this is Yan Fengying, and you can't look back until you hit the south wall. After all, he suffered because of these things.

They all say that "love is frustrated and career is proud." Two years later, Yan Fengying starred in the movie "The Match of Heaven", which became a household name overnight and was well known to all women and children.

Life has also been taken care of by manna cheese. Even in order to eliminate the bad feelings in Yan Fengying's heart, he promised her: I am willing to be the father of this child.

In the past, Manny took great care of her, but now Yan Fengying is deeply moved. Partly out of gratitude, Yan Fengying married Manny in 1954.

Not long after the prosperous days, Mannan Zhi was regarded as a bad ingredient and was treated unfairly and even humiliated, including his family.

At the same time, Yan Fengying's career is booming, and the female is stronger than the male, which makes this marriage out of balance in a short time. Under the influence of various factors, their marriage came to an end in a hurry after only two years.

After that, Manny spent nine years in prison before she was rehabilitated. 1, 990, 7 1 died of illness.

The times shine into one's destiny, joys and sorrows, but it is a microcosm, but for an individual, it is a lifetime.

Later, Yan Fengying met the director Wang Guanya, who was not only brilliant, but also had a good personality and a kind heart. A woman who has experienced the ups and downs of life and suffered all kinds of hardships, even if her career is successful, she hopes to have a lover who can shelter from the wind and rain and know how to be warm and cold. After they met, they decided to start a family.

Just like knowing him before marriage, Wang Guanya is a real warm man. He is responsible for his family, loves his wife and truly regards Wang as his own child. How good is it? Wang always thought it was his real father, and it took many years to know the truth.

Love me, love my dog, which is probably another expression of affection.

Life with Wang Guanya is dull and happy, and Yan Fengying feels very satisfied. Her career is also in full swing, and she is even called "Mei Lanfang in Huangmei Opera".

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The great movement sweeping across the country is coming. Yan Fengying was accused of emotional confusion, disobedience to women's morality, unmarried children and bad work style, so she was charged with "beauty snake", "black line figure" and "three highs".

Yan Fengying always wondered why he was guilty. Stubborn, honest and frank, she always refuses to admit her guilt. This is serving the people. How can it be wrong?

But unfortunately, in the wrong era, everything you think is noble may become a sword for others to stab you.

No logic, no ethics, no reason.

It's okay to just interrogate and criticize her, but it also involves her lover and children.

At that time, Yan Fengying had ovarian cyst surgery, intestinal adhesion sequelae, disc herniation and unbearable pain. Although Yan Fengying was strong and tough, he couldn't bear it after all, so he was tortured and committed suicide by taking a lot of sleeping pills. It was not until 1978 that the reputation was restored.

Yan Fengying's departure, as well as his humiliation and disembowelling after his death, made Wang Guanya, who deeply loved his wife, grieve. In the next ten years, he lived in nightmares, lost his mind and even had hallucinations.

But even in this case, he knew that he was desperate to keep Yan Fengying's ashes from being taken away by the rebels. It was not until Yan Fengying was rehabilitated that his heart disease was slightly cured.

At that time, Wang Guanya's heart was broken, and he was always thinking about his dead wife. In memory of Yan Fengying, he wrote a 420,000-word biography of Yan Fengying. Even if someone is willing to do nothing afterwards, he refuses to take care of him for life. He said:

There is no room for any woman in my heart. Yan Fengying's photo is in my room. She didn't leave. She has never been separated from me.

In 20 13, Wang Guanya died of cancer at the age of 84. He and Yan Fengying were separated by Yin and Yang for 45 years. He must miss her very much. This time, he finally went to heaven to see her.

If you have a husband, what kind of life do you want?

Yan Fengying and Yang Likun have similar unfortunate fate, but they also have the same luck, that is, they met a good man who really knew and loved themselves.

There is a proverb in Yan Fengying: Without Huangmei Opera, there would be no Yan Fengying.

Without Yan Fengying, how could there be today's Huangmei Opera?

Lai Shaoqi once said in "In Memory of Yan Fengying": There are countless fallen flowers in ten years, and there is no place to bury them. It's hard to live in tears. Holding high the banner of evocation, there is still sadness. Spring blossoms and flowers dance in Jianghuai, swallows return, and you are in the blue sky for nine days.
