In the first month of 2011, Zheng Yurong, a blind man, performed a performance in Lushan County, Pingdingshan City as usual.
I thought this performance was still uninterrupted, but it was just a trivial part of her many performance experiences. But what she didn't know was that this performance changed the rest of her life. After the performance of
, she actually met her brother who had been separated for many years.
The blind girl was abandoned and she grew up and knew she was not her biological child. All of this started from the morning of the winter of 1985...
That winter, the weather was particularly cold, and the fields after heavy snow seemed particularly quiet. Zheng Xuezhong, who was very young at that time, went out to do business and walked alone on the quiet path.
Suddenly, a baby cry broke the tranquility of the morning light. Zheng Xuezhong was startled. When he got closer, he saw a cradle on the side of the road. In the cradle, a little baby girl was crying red in the snow with her nose in the cold.
The baby looks like he is just born and has a bubble burning body. Zheng Xuezhong searched through the entire cradle but found no tokens. In order not to let the baby continue to be frozen, the kind man finally took her home.
The baby that Zheng Xuezhong brought home was Zheng Yurong, a famous pendant artist who grew up. His adoptive father Zheng Xuezhong and his adoptive mother Wu Xiuqin are both honest farmers and their families are not wealthy.
After raising it for a while, the couple realized that the girl was born blind and could not see this beautiful world.
But the two are very kind and take care of her very carefully, so Zheng Yurong experienced a happy childhood.
In the 1990s, a well-known American expert showed people the eyes for free in Luoyang . After Zheng Yurong learned about this from his adoptive parents, he inquired about it many times and finally found this expert.
It’s a pity that experts are helpless about Zheng Yurong’s blindness. Zheng Yurong was hit hard when he learned that his eyes were not cured.
But what she didn't expect was that a bigger blow was still behind. One day when she was eight years old, her mother Wu Xiuqin called her to her and told her that she actually picked it up.
From the mouth of his adoptive father Zheng Xuezhong, Zheng Yurong learned that he had some problems with his eyes when he was abandoned. I think my biological parents also disliked the problem with their eyes, so they chose to abandon them. After knowing the truth, she couldn't help feeling a little sad.
In order to comfort Zheng Yurong, her adoptive mother Wu Xiuqin told her not to hold a grudge against her biological parents no matter what the future holds. If she has the chance in the future, she can also look for her biological parents.
From this day on, the ignorant and innocent Zheng Yurong seemed to have become mature all of a sudden. Because she knew that her adoptive parents were in poor health and could not support herself for the rest of her life. If you can't see it, if you don't have a skill, you will not only not be able to repay your parents' grace in the future, but you will not even be able to support yourself.
So since she was 12 years old, she officially started her artistic career. She has studied Henan Opera , Qu Opera , Yuetu , and later specialized in Henan Pendant . Without a teacher, she mainly learns by listening to the tape.
She studies very hard and often practices alone in the house with the door closed from the second half of the night until dawn. But while studying hard, she often wonders: Who are my biological parents, and where are they now?
's wonderful performance won fans, and they got the same thing when they were talking about operas
But more often, Zheng Yurong is learning how to sing pendant.
pendant is a traditional folk art form formed by combining the folk arts, such as the folk arts, the folk arts, the folk arts, the folk arts, the folk arts, the folk arts, and the folk arts, which are popular in Henan and the Anhui North . Because the main accompaniment instrument is "Pennant string" and is sung in Henan dialect , it is called Henan Pennant.
Henan Pendulum singer needs to play sandalwood or jujube simple board with his left hand, and sing while playing. Therefore, Henan Pendant is a relatively difficult genre.
Hard work pays off. She learned to sing traditional books, including "The Heroes of the Ming Dynasty", "The Private Visit of the King of Song", "Bao Gong's Visit to Taikang", "Strange Cases", "Gao Mengluan's Campaign in the North".
A set of traditional big books has dozens of episodes, each episode is about an hour. It is very difficult for a healthy person to write a set of songs when he reads a song, but she remembers it all in her mind.
At the same time, she also learned to figure out the relationship between the characters and learn to integrate the protagonist's feelings into it. So her performances often get a lot of applause as soon as she debuted.
In the first month of 2011, Lushan County, Pingdingshan held a folk art activity to celebrate the New Year's "Storytelling Street".
This performance was originally a very insignificant show among Zheng Yurong's many performances, but because of a fan, it became the most memorable show in her performance career.
The organizer at that time invited twenty or thirty opera art performance teams to perform at Lushan County Cultural Square, and Zheng Yurong and his wife were also invited to be on the list.
In the huge square, there are very few viewers in front of other stalls, only Zheng Yurong is the one who stops in front of the stall, and it is surrounded by people.
That day, Zheng Yurong sang the song "Lutijie Boxing Zhen Guanxi". This is a story in Water Margin, but it is interpreted by Henan Pendant, which also seems very passionate.
In this scene, Zheng Yurong attracted a relatively special audience. Like her, this audience is also born blind. He heard that Zheng Yurong could not see his eyes and felt very destined to know her.
This audience is called Yang Mingming, and he is also a singer from Henan Pendant. At that time, he had just returned from a performance in Luoyang and saw many people surrounding the square on three floors inside and outside, so he wanted to join in the fun, so he met Zheng Yurong.
After Zheng Yurong's performance, Yang Mingming finally got his wish and "meet" her. The two of them "saw the same thing at first sight", from discussing the singing skills of Henan Piaozi to their life experiences, they forgot about time like old friends they hadn't seen for many years.
plays a squad and plays to become master and apprentice. Because of the similarity of DNA
Because of this common topic of Henan pendant and blindness, Yang Mingming and Zheng Yurong talk more and more and more they feel that the two are very destined. Therefore, the two left each other's contact information and became friends.
Since both of them are good at singing in Henan Piaozi, people often invite them to sing in various places. I met many times later, and the two of them joined the team to sing opera.
During the process of getting along, Yang Mingming learned that Zheng Yurong was more than ten years older than him, so he became Zheng Yurong as his teacher, hoping that she could teach herself to sing.
The time for work has been going on for a long time, and Zheng Yurong gradually heard someone joking about whether Yang Mingming and her are siblings, why do they look so similar?
Others may just think this is a joke. After all, Zheng Yurong and Yang Mingming are different in surnames, how could they be relatives?
But these jokes rippled in Zheng Yurong's heart: because she knew that she was picked up by her adoptive parents and her surname was not Zheng.
After abandoning yourself, your biological parents are likely to have another child. And my eye disease is born and may be hereditary. Then the children born to their biological parents may also suffer from congenital eye disease.
Yang Mingming, who is said to be similar to him, is younger than him, and secondly, he suffers from congenital eye disease like himself. With so many coincidences, maybe Yang Mingming is really related to him?
After a while of speculation, Zheng Yurong had the idea of taking Yang Mingming for DNA testing. Zheng Yurong hopes that biological testing can bring himself to his answers. After the results of
DNA detection came out, what was expected and reasonable was that the two people were really brothers and sisters! After knowing this result, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but hugging their heads and crying.
Blind boy was taken in, healed his eyes and lost his wealth
As the results of DNA tests were also Yang Mingming's life experience.
On the 14th day of the 12th lunar month in 1996, a man from Lushan County, Pingdingshan picked up a baby boy on the snow at the Baofeng County Railway Station.
This man is Yang Wending. The baby boy he picked up was Yang Mingming. According to Yang Wending, he picked up Yang Mingming in a cold railway station. When he picked it up, Yang Mingming was just wrapped in a thin quilt, cold and hungry, and was crying loudly with his mouth open.
In the eyes of adoptive father Yang Wending, the young Yang Mingming cried pitifully at the cold railway station, which aroused his compassion.
At that time, I already had three daughters and one son. But Yang Wending thought about adding a child, that is, adding a pair of chopsticks at home, and he couldn't bear to see the child freeze to death here.
Yang Wending's family also supported Yang Wending's family. They like this new baby very much and love him as their own child.
Since childhood, his adoptive parents have cared for Yang Mingming very much, and their brothers and sisters have also given way to him and taken care of him meticulously, and have never let him suffer any grievances.
When Yang Mingming was a child, his adoptive parents sold two cows to cure his eyes. At that time, cattle and sheep were very important property for rural families. In addition to selling cattle, my family also borrowed a lot of money and owed a lot of debts.
Adoptive parents have always held hope of recovery for Yang Mingming's eyes, and regard Yang Mingming as their biological child from beginning to end, hoping that he can see the light again and live a normal life.
However, because Yang Mingming had congenital eye disease, the situation was very complicated and the expectation of cure was slim. And due to the operation, Yang Mingming's eye sockets are still a little collapsed.
However, blindness did not affect Yang Mingming's mentality. The care and support of his family made Yang Mingming continue to live very optimistically and strongly.
Since childhood, Yang Mingming has shown extraordinary artistic talent. At that time, the elderly at home liked to listen to and sing operas very much. " Liyuan Chun " was a must-have program for every household in the evening.
One day, Yang Mingming's family found that he liked to learn to sing the role of the Yue tune, and sang it vividly. Because his family was poor and could not afford to hire a special teacher, Yang Mingming's adoptive father bought him a lot of tapes, and after learning one, he would buy another one.
However, due to the lack of formal training and practice, Yang Mingming suffered damage to his vocal cords at the age of eighteen and could no longer continue singing high notes. Due to his talent and love for opera, Yang Mingming turned to specialize in Henan Pendant.
pendant also contributed to the recognition of Yang Mingming and his sister Zheng Yurong.
The siblings met each other hardships. After fulfilling their wishes, Zhengzhou searching for relatives and hiding their younger brother, Zheng Yurong was very happy and felt that he had finally had relatives. But she still has one wish that has not been fulfilled, that is, to find her biological parents.
Compared with his sister Zheng Yurong, Yang Mingming thought he was already very lucky. He was adopted by his kind adoptive parents, and his brother loved his sister, and the warmth of his family inspired him to keep moving forward.
But when talking about biological parents, Yang Mingming, who has always been calm, suddenly frowned. He also never understood why his biological parents abandoned him. Although he has become indifferent now, he secretly hated his biological parents when he was a child.
So, neither of them gave up on their idea of finding their biological parents.
And what can help them realize their wishlist for family search is a TV program.
is famous for singing Henan pendants. Zheng Yurong and her husband Feng Guoying's performance on Majie Book Club was recorded and posted online. This incident attracted the attention of Zhengzhou Radio staff member Lian Xiaodong.
Lian Xiaodong is the person in charge of the program " Henan Opera Sound Museum ". He attaches great importance to the inheritance of Henan Pendant. There are very few people who can sing the big book Zheng Yurong sang now, which is a dramatic repertoire that needs to be preserved and inherited. So he invited the couple from Lushan to Zhengzhou to record the singing of the big book.
While recording the Henan Pendant Singing, Zheng Yurong expressed his hope that the program team can use the power of the media to help him find relatives. Lian Xiaodong also hopes to help Zheng Yurong and Yang Mingming achieve their wishes through his own efforts.
The biological parents have not been found yet, but life has to continue. Over the years, the couple of Zheng Yurong and have been performing some activities.
2018 On the morning of September 7, the Municipal Red Eagle Party Building Propaganda Team was officially unveiled in Beijing and was invited to participate in the Performing Arts Expo. Among them, the blind couple Feng Guoying and Zheng Yurong performed Henan Pendulum "The Holy Vote", which was very popular among the public and well-received by the industry.
On October 17, 2020, Pingdingshan City held the "National Poverty Alleviation Day and the 37th International Blind Day Charity Event", and Feng Guoying and Zheng Yurong brought Henan Pendant Book "Looking for Poverty and Rich to See Great Changes" for performance.
021 , Binheyuan Community has hung the sign of Tangbinhe Village Committee, Feng Guoying and Zheng Yurong and his wife also moved down the mountain, and their quality of life is getting better and better "I used to live more than 30 miles away from here. Children go to school and adults go to the village to see a doctor, so I have to take the bus back.
Now the land is under custody, and stamping can be done without leaving the community. The Party Committee and the government are really constantly increasing the happiness of the people." The two of them praised the good party's policies.
The blind siblings have been involved in opera since childhood. They know good and evil in the book of Pendant and understand right and wrong.
Although the siblings are blind, they are clear-headed and use opera to persuade people to be kind and avoid hatred.
May they be kind-hearted and find their biological parents as soon as possible.
