On November 19, a well-known internet celebrity posted a high-profile photo with his son Shan Daming of Zhao Lirong, which aroused heated discussion among fans. When it comes to this name, many young people will find it strange. But for those born in the 1980s and 1990s, the sketch performing artist Zhao Lirong is an indelible classic character in everyone's childhood memory.

Since Zhao Lirong left this world, there has been very little news about her children. It can be said that the family is very low-key. Shan Daming's high-profile appearance this time, as a national first-class painter, once again focused the outside world on his mother. Looking at Zhao Lirong's life, she married her brother in the first marriage and her younger brother in the second marriage, it can be said that the Sheng brothers made her unfortunate life.
Middle-aged single mother
Zhao Lirong was born in a poor family in Shenyang, Liaoning Province. She has developed a strong interest in art since she was a child. Because he lives in a theater, when he was one year old, Zhao Lirong appeared on the stage as a "colored widow". It seems that she is destined to be the one who God gives to her.

With her own efforts, Zhao Lirong was admitted to China Ping Theater after adulthood, and her life was relatively stable. It was also at this stage that she met her first husband Sheng Qiang. Sheng Qiang was born in a scholarly family and was a handsome man. From any perspective, he and Zhao Lirong, who didn't know much about it, were not a match.
But in the face of love, few people pay attention to these "additional conditions". Soon, Zhao Lirong and Sheng Qiang cherish each other and got together. As expected, this relationship was opposed by both parents. For Sheng Qiang's family, the college student's son has an unlimited future and should not be with the actor.

For Zhao Lirong's parents, it is inappropriate for their daughter to marry such a person. In the future, grievances will definitely be inevitable. But how can the bystanders stop two people who are extremely determined? Based on the final results, both parents were worried too much.
Sheng Qiang is a man with a honest personality, and Zhao Lirong is also a virtuous woman who cares about the family. The two of them are pure love together, without any impurities. The days after marriage were warm and romantic, and Zhao Lirong quickly became pregnant with the crystallization of love. Although Zhao Lirong's career was rising steadily at that time, she had no nostalgia, and home was the most important thing.
Not long after, Zhao Lirong gave birth to a son, and the arrival of the child made the family warmer. That was her happiest time, but fate made people feel like she was born. Just when Zhao Lirong got pregnant again and gave birth to her youngest son, Sheng Qiang was sent to the countryside for political issues.

Zhao Lirong supported the entire home alone, guarding the empty room alone. Looking at the child's tender face, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and hold on. Zhao Lirong originally thought that as long as Sheng Qiang could come back, the suffering in front of her was nothing, but unexpectedly, a bad news came two years later.
Sheng Qiang left this world forever during the labor process, and was a good home. He just said that it would be dispersed. Zhao Lirong became a single mother overnight. The bitterness of life occupied the first half of her life. She was so tough that she did not fall because of this. Her two sons needed her.

With her longing for her husband, she stood on the stage again. At this time, Zhao Lirong's eyes were gone. She brought happiness to everyone, but who knows how desolate this woman's heart is? Zhao Lirong, who turned grief into strength, focused all her attention on her work.
Losing her husband and daughter in her later years
With her own efforts, Zhao Lirong's life is getting better and better. At the same time, relatives and friends see the major events in her life and are anxious in their hearts. For people at that time, financial independence was not a good thing. Everyone believed that family was the harbor of happiness and the ultimate destination of women.

Zhao Lirong actually understood this truth, but when she looked at her young son, she hesitated. Everyone who has experienced it knows very well what it means to remarry a family. Zhao Lirong loves Sheng Qiang deeply and she can't bear to have their children excluded by her stepfather.I would rather make myself suffer a little than want my child to lose a happy childhood after losing his biological father.
Not long after, the second man who protected her appeared, and this person was Sheng Qiang's younger brother Sheng Hong. In terms of seniority, Sheng Hong is Zhao Lirong's brother-in-law, and he is a very kind man. He admired his sister-in-law's actions from the bottom of his heart and thought of taking care of the mother and son.

However, such behavior would inevitably be subject to rumors in that era. In order to avoid embarrassment, Sheng Hong found his relatives and went to visit Zhao Lirong's tone. When Zhao Lirong learned about her brother-in-law’s thoughts, she was very shocked and refused, while deliberately trying to distance herself from Sheng Hong.
She doesn't want to be wrapped in rumors, she just wants to maintain her stable life. But Sheng Hong was not discouraged. He cared and cared for and took care of him all the time, and finally moved his sister-in-law. As the child's uncle and Sheng Qiang's younger brother, no one is more suitable to be the father of the child than him.

Zhao Lirong gradually opened her heart and began to slowly accept everything in front of her. Instead of living in other people's rumors, it is better to give your child a healthy home. In this way, the two got together and gave birth to a daughter after marriage. But happiness is always so short. The arrival of the youngest daughter made the family smile, but not long after, it was found that they had congenital cerebral palsy.
In order to treat the child's illness, Sheng Hong and Zhao Lirong ran around, spent all their savings and owed a lot of debts. But the child was not left behind, and in the end, the daughter left the world forever at the age of 7.
Under such a heavy blow, Zhao Lirong fell ill. Sheng Hong carefully persuaded her and stood up again. But unexpectedly, as the days get better day by day, God once again took away the person she loved the most. Sheng Hong left this world forever because of a sudden heart disease .

Three closest loved ones left one after another. You can imagine how much emotional torture Zhao Lirong has experienced. After that, the bitterness of this life can only be cured by the stage.
Conclusion
This time, Zhao Lirong's eldest son appeared in a high profile, and the various classic images of Zhao Lirong's past performances once again appeared in front of everyone. This woman is pitiful and sad, but her fate cannot be violated. Who can she blame when she reaches this point? In the last moment of her life, Zhao Lirong changed into the late stage of lung cancer. She knew that she had not had much time, so she sewed a funeral jacket for herself.

Maybe that moment is the relief. Looking at Zhao Lirong's life, bitterness fills most of the gaps. But she has always been actively facing it. Such a powerful artist is truly both virtuous and artistic. I will always miss you, the audience will never forget Teacher Zhao!
