In 2005, the famous actor Gao Xiumin died suddenly of a heart attack.

At her funeral, the famous screenwriter and her lover of 14 years, He Qingkui, burst into tears and cried: "Xiumin, why did you leave me alone!"

Everyone around her was shocked. He was so moved by his deep emotion that he couldn't help but shed tears.

But no one expected that He Qingkui would return to his first wife Zhang Yanru just after Gao Xiumin's funeral.

lived a normal life with his wife.

Many people sneered at He Qingkui's behavior.

lived with Gao Xiumin for 14 years while he had his first wife. Gao Xiumin had just passed away, but he returned to his first wife.

I don’t know, what would Gao Xiumin think if he knew it?

1

In 1959, Gao Xiumin was born in Songyuan, Jilin.

She is the eighth eldest child in her family, with seven older brothers and sisters.

When her mother was pregnant with her, she originally did not want to give birth to her because her family was already poor and there were so many children. The family lived in poverty.

However, under the persuasion of her brother, sister and father, the mother decided to give birth to the child.

Anyway, there is only one more pair of chopsticks.

Although her family is poor, Gao Xiumin's family loves her very much.

In addition, she is the youngest child in the family. If there is any work that needs to be done at home, her brothers and sisters help to do it, and it is not her turn at all.

So, Gao Xiumin's childhood was quite happy all day long.

After finishing junior high school, Gao Xiumin had to drop out of school due to family poverty and learn to sing 二人turn from a grass-roots group.

After studying duo for 3 years, Gao Xiumin already had a very solid foundation, so she wanted to find a bigger stage.

At that time, the city's oil refinery publicity team was recruiting actors.

Gao Xiumin realized that this was a good opportunity and signed up immediately.

She was successfully selected with her song " embroidered gold plaque ".

In the publicity team, Gao Xiumin quickly became a pillar. No matter where the publicity team went to perform, she was indispensable.

Seeing their little daughter getting an iron rice bowl, her parents were very happy and felt that they would not have to worry about their little daughter in the future.

But Gao Xiumin didn't think so. During those years in the publicity team, she realized that she was born to be an actor.

However, the stage of the publicity team is too small, and she should seek a bigger stage.

So, despite the opposition of her family, Gao Xiumin resigned from the oil refinery and prepared to apply for the city's art troupe.

However, the Gao Xiumin back then was not the person everyone was familiar with later.

At that time, due to long-term malnutrition, Gao Xiumin had always been as thin and tall as a bamboo pole. With an image like

, when applying for the art troupe, it was no surprise that he was rejected.

The depressed Gao Xiumin stayed at home every day, asking where the art troupe was recruiting people.

The parents looked at their little daughter who had been staying at home, thinking that since they didn't have a job, they should start a family first.

Get married first and then start a career.

So, in 1978, under the arrangement of her parents, Gao Xiumin married her first husband Li Yunqi, and soon after the marriage, she gave birth to her daughter Li Xuan.

At the same time, He Qingkui, who is 12 years older than her, and his wife Zhang Yanru are working hard to make ends meet for their family of five.

He Qingkui and Gao Xiumin are from the same place, just in different villages in the same county.

He Qingkui has been excellent in both conduct and academics since he was a child. However, because of his poor family, he did not continue in high school after finishing high school.

Instead, he went to work in the production team.

But He Qingkui seemed to be born to hold a pen, and there was almost nothing he could do in the production team.

was sent home after only a few days in the production team.

It was He Qingkui's mother who took him to the production team to plead for mercy, and the team leader arranged a job for him, but He Qingkui also did a messy job.

Seeing that He Qingkui couldn't do this or that, the captain waved his hand: "Forget it, since you are educated, just go to the troupe and sing duet."

Unexpectedly, He Qingkui was not good at anything in the troupe. Not only did the two of them sing very well, they were also able to make up their own jokes in their spare time.

The duet "Two Billers" he created for the troupe caused quite a sensation after it was performed in the troupe. Upon seeing this, the head of

helped him submit the script to Jilin Daily. Unexpectedly, the script was actually published in the rural section of the newspaper.

Now, He Qingkui became a celebrity in the entire county, and everyone praised him for his talent.

When he was 19 years old, He Qingkui was drafted into the army and did not return home once for three years.

However, after demobilization, he was not assigned a job and could only return to a small theater troupe, writing scripts and selling fish in the market to make a living.

Although the family often does not have enough to eat, his wife Zhang Yanru has no complaints.

Zhang Yanru is an educated youth who came from the city to join the team. She admires He Qingkui's talent very much. Over time, the two came together.

Later, Zhang Yanru was transferred back to the city, and He Qingkui followed her to the city.

Even in order to support her husband He Qingkui's creation, Zhang Yanru took a leave of absence without pay and took care of her three children at home.

However, Zhang Yanru did not expect that her efforts would be to make wedding clothes for others.

Gao Xiumin failed to apply for the city art troupe, but turned around and applied for the Fuyu County Folk Art Troupe, and was successfully admitted.

Gao Xiumin has a very good voice and is called "Little Guo Lanying" by the locals.

Not long after, Gao Xiumin became the deputy leader of this art troupe.

Once, Gao Xiumin went to the market to buy vegetables and saw He Qingkui selling fish. He was shivering because of the cold weather.

Gao Xiumin has worked with He Qingkui several times before and highly recognizes his talent.

Gao Xiumin couldn't bear the thought of a screenwriter actually selling fish in the market, and said to He Qingkui: "Brother, please write a script for us. After writing, we will act and give you two hundred yuan in creative fees."

heard The other party invited him to create, and He Qingkui readily agreed.

Within a few days, he found Gao Xiumin with his script "Who Marries Who".

Gao Xiumin liked the script very much after reading it and said to He Qingkui: "Brother He, please wait a moment. I will report it to the team leader. If possible, we will give you the creation fee first."

Unexpectedly, Gao Xiumin got the script. In front of the group leader, the group leader didn't even read it and said disdainfully: "What meaning can a script written by a farmer have? There's no need to waste that time."

Gao Xiumin wanted to argue with her arguments, but the group leader waved her hand. go out.

Gao Xiumin walked out dejectedly, but was stopped by someone.

When she looked up, she found that He Qingkui had not left at all and had been waiting for her outside.

Seeing the expectation and nervousness on He Qingkui's face, Gao Xiumin couldn't bear to tell the truth to hurt him, so she said: "Brother He, don't worry, I will think of a solution."

When Gao Xiumin said this, He Qingkui knew that there was no script. However, he said to Gao Xiumin: "It doesn't matter. Don't be too stressed. Just forget it if you can't pass."

Gao Xiumin nodded: "Don't be anxious first. I'll try for the last time. If it still doesn't work, let's think of something else." Method."

At that time, Jilin Province held the 8th Errenzhuan Performance Competition. Seeing that the registration deadline was about to end, the art troupe did not have a script that could be used.

Just when the team leader was anxious, Gao Xiumin suggested that He Qingkui's "Who Marry Who" should be used in the competition first.

Time was running out, so the group leader had no choice but to agree.

No one expected that He Qingkui's script actually won the gold medal.

Subsequently, the script "Who Marries Who" was performed many times one after another.

Many people are curious, who can write such a good script?

When everyone knew that this script was actually written by a farmer, they admired him even more.

In 1990, He Qingkui made an exception and was transferred to Dongliao County as a creator. In order to thank Gao Xiumin, He Qingkui also recommended Gao Xiumin to the group. Not long after, Gao Xiumin was also transferred to Dongliao County as an actor.

Seeing that their careers are developing better and better, Gao Xiumin's marriage has problems.

Gao Xiumin's husband Li Yunqi is a happy-go-lucky person. He always feels that he and his wife already have serious jobs and should be content.

But Gao Xiumin didn't think so. She always wanted to go to a broader stage.

Moreover, Li Yunqi smokes and drinks a lot, and he has not restrained himself after marrying Gao Xiumin. Their relationship as husband and wife is not good either.

In 1992, Gao Xiumin couldn't bear it anymore, divorced him, and lived alone with her daughter Li Xuan.

The partnership between He Qingkui and Gao Xiumin has been fixed since then.

Created by He Qingkui, Gao Xiumin performed on stage, and the two worked together flawlessly.

Not long after, He Qingkui felt that Gao Xiumin was more suitable as a sketch actor and suggested that she act in sketches.

Gao Xiumin followed his advice, resigned from the art troupe and became a self-employed actor.

By chance, Shenzhen was holding a national sketch competition at the time, and He Qingkui suggested that Gao Xiumin sign up.

also personally created a sketch "Burden" tailored for Gao Xiumin.

Gao Xiumin went south to compete with this carefully polished sketch, and actually won the championship.

For a time, Gao Xiumin became a national celebrity.

When Gao Xiumin went to Shenzhen, He Qingkui accompanied her.

Gao Xiumin was interviewed by the media after winning the championship. He Qingkui looked at her and smiled in the audience.

At that moment, Gao Xiumin felt that He Qingkui was the person she wanted to spend her life with.

This trip to Shenzhen not only allowed Gao Xiumin to win the championship, but also allowed her to establish a romantic relationship with He Qingkui.

However, He Qingkui had a family at that time.

His wife Zhang Yanru and three children are still waiting for him at home.

He Qingkui said to Gao Xiumin: "Don't worry, I will get divorced when I get back."

However, when He Qingkui and his wife had a showdown at home, her wife refused to divorce.

While crying, his wife said to He Qingkui: "I will never divorce you even if I die."

Moreover, when the three children heard that their father wanted to divorce their mother, they all protested.

He Qingkui is in a dilemma.

On the one hand, his wife Zhang Yanru followed him when he was a farmer and suffered a lot with him. He really couldn't bear to abandon her.

On the other hand, I feel that my true love is with Gao Xiumin, and I don't want to let her down.

After crying, Zhang Yanru said to He Qingkui: "Fly, no matter how far you fly, the thread will always be in my hand."

After hearing this, He Qingkui still chose to follow his heart.

He quit his job as a creative in Dongliao County and followed Gao Xiumin to Changchun, where he lived with Gao Xiumin and his daughter Li Xuan.

After He Qingkui and Gao Xiumin became a "real and anonymous" couple, their cooperation became even more tacit.

Gao Xiumin's comedy talent attracted the attention of CCTV and she was invited to participate in the 1994 Spring Festival Gala.

In 1994, Gao Xiumin performed the sketch "Code" on the Spring Festival Gala and became an instant hit.

In 1997, she partnered with Zhao Benshan for the first time, starring in the sketch "The Flower in the Dark", which began her long-term cooperation with Zhao Benshan on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

At the same time, He Qingkui's screenwriting talent was also recognized by Zhao Benshan.

He Qingkui created a series of sketches such as "The Bright Willows", " Selling Kidnappers ", " Selling Cars ", " Send Waterworks ", etc., which made people all over the country remember the names of Zhao Benshan and Gao Xiumin.

The three of them were once called the "Iron Triangle".

In addition to having a high degree of tacit understanding with Gao Xiumin in career, He Qingkui is also very good to Gao Xiumin and stepdaughter Li Xuan in life.

In 1997, Li Xuan's biological father Li Yunqi unfortunately passed away due to illness at the age of 46.

After Li Yunqi passed away, He Qingkui said to Li Xuan: "Don't be too sad. From now on, I am your biological father."

At that time, Li Xuan was studying at the Central Academy of Drama. , every half month, He Qingkui had to take a train to visit his daughter.

People who don’t know may think that He Qingkui is Li Xuan’s biological father.

In addition to performing sketches, Gao Xiumin also appeared in many TV series, including one called "Holy Water Riverside".

This drama is also written by He Qingkui, and Gao Xiumin's daughter and He Qingkui's youngest son both star.

However, in 2005, when the second part of "Holy Water River" was being filmed, Gao Xiumin died of a sudden heart attack at the age of 46.

After the news of Gao Xiumin's death came out, many people came to see her off.

At her funeral, He Qingkui, who had lived with her for 14 years, cried until he broke down in tears and fainted several times.

Shortly before Gao Xiumin's death, He Qingkui's eldest son had just died in a car accident. Within a few months, He Qingkui lost two relatives one after another. The degree of grief can be imagined.

After Gao Xiumin's death, the most surprising thing was the attitude of He Qingkui's first wife Zhang Yanru.

She also showed great sadness over Gao Xiumin's death. Not only did she set up a mourning hall for her at home, but she also asked her son to wear sackcloth and mourn for her.

Zhang Yanru’s behavior is not in line with the relationship between "love rivals", so it makes people feel strange.

In fact, Zhang Yanru and Gao Xiumin became known as sisters a long time ago.

When Gao Xiumin Gao started living with He Qingkui, Zhang Yanru regarded her as an enemy and treated her coldly at every turn.

But Gao Xiumin knew that Zhang Yanru was having a hard time, and he followed He Qingkui to visit her and her three children during holidays.

Slowly, Zhang Yanru became less hostile to Gao Xiumin, and even taught her three children not to target Gao Xiumin intentionally.

For many years, the two even called themselves "sisters".

Maybe it was for this reason that she was so sad after Gao Xiumin left.

It may be that losing relatives one after another made He Qingkui realize the importance of family, or it may be that he repented.

In short, shortly after Gao Xiumin's death, He Qingkui returned to his first wife Zhang Yanru and lived a small life with his wife honestly.

Many people were puzzled by his behavior, and He Qingkui had no explanation.

Maybe, for him, love is gone, but family affection is still there.
