"The golden wind and the jade dew meet, winning countless people."
A few days ago, in a CCTV program, Wang Mingquan, 7 1 year-old, once again took the hand of Luo Jiaying, 72.
Two elderly people who are over 70 years old are holding hands on the stage and singing a song by Qin Guan, "Que Qiao Xian".
On the stage, they laughed sweeter than honey.
On the stage, the two old people were not shy at all, holding hands with each other.
Wang Mingquan also looks at Luo Jiaying when she sings, and her eyes are full of sweetness.
I was very moved when I saw this video, and then I went online to watch this video several times.
Perhaps, only those who really understand them and their experiences know how precious this moment is.
And some people in the barrage are lamenting: only after watching their performances do they know what it means to envy only Yuanyang but not immortals.
Perhaps it is more appropriate to use Qin Guan's words in the song:
On the seventh day of autumn dew and autumn, it is time to meet, mostly those who are together in the world, but the appearance of husband and wife.

Sister in Hong Kong and Xiao Sheng in Hong Kong.
There is a small detail in the program: As a judge, Ceng Baoyi said: This is Wang Mingquan! Is the goddess of all Hong Kong people!
It's true.
Wang Mingquan was born in Shanghai and came to Hong Kong with his family in 1950s. 1967 As an actor in Radio Television Hong Kong, she became an instant hit because she played "Four Thousand Daughters" in TV series. Later, he acted in many TV series, and served as the host of most variety shows, entertainment programs and stage plays in Radio Television Hong Kong at that time.
Wang Mingquan is a truly respectable veteran.
1982, Wang Mingquan and Xie Xian (that is, Nicholas Tse's father) starred in the TV series "Forever Love in Qianshan", and Wang Mingquan played the heroine and sang the song "Forever Love in Qianshan", which really made a splash in the film and television circles in Hong Kong. At this time, she was the number one figure of RTHK, Hua Dan. In Hong Kong film and television circles, almost everyone calls Wang Mingquan "Sister".
At this point, say a little digression. Hong Kong people have a very strange and interesting phenomenon: they like to use a national nickname instead of the actor's name to express their recognition of the actor.
For example, they will call Stephen Chow "Star Boy" (of course, after he became famous, everyone called him "Star Master", which is also very interesting, and we will mention it later), Chow Yun Fat, Andy Lau, Hanako, Anita Mui, Meigu and Shen Dianxia. This title is not granted or certified by anyone, but is recognized by all Hong Kong people from the heart.
On the streets of Hong Kong, when it comes to "sister", most Hong Kong people clap their thighs: Yes, sister!
Perhaps we need a more intuitive perspective to understand Wang Mingquan's position in Hong Kong.
For example, in 2004, Wang Mingquan won the Hong Kong Silver Bauhinia Medal, which is used by the Hong Kong government to commend people who have made outstanding contributions to the construction of Hong Kong. Wang Mingquan has been a deputy to the People's Congress of Hong Kong since 1983, which shows the importance of his position.
Another example: Hong Kong Golden Needle Award. The Hong Kong Golden Needle Award is the highest award in Hong Kong's music scene, and it is also a lifetime achievement award in Hong Kong's music scene. In fact, this award has been vacant all the year round since 198 1. In 2004, this award was awarded to Wang Mingquan in recognition of Wang Mingquan's great contribution to Cantonese opera and Hong Kong pop music.
And this involves another important keyword they know-Cantonese opera.
Luo Jiaying and Wang Mingquan became attached to each other because of Cantonese opera.
Compared with Wang Mingquan's brilliant resume, most people's impression of Luo Jiaying comes from the funny supporting roles in Stephen Chow's films.
In the past, Luo Jiaying played roles in Stephen Chow's films, such as Tang Priest in A Chinese Odyssey and Da Wenxi in the domestic Painted Skin of Lingling. But Luo Jiaying's initial role was as a Cantonese opera actor.
Luo Jiaying comes from a Cantonese family. His father and uncle are both famous Cantonese opera actors.
Luo Jiaying has been active in Cantonese opera since he was 265,438+0 years old. Later, due to the decline of Cantonese opera, I had to participate in supporting roles in some films to make a living.
At that time, Wang Mingquan was a veritable TVB sister and a representative of the people's congress in the port area.
This story sounds like a love story between a poor boy and a princess.
Actually, it's about the same.
Luo Jiaying and Wang Mingquan have known each other for a long time. From 65438 to 0987, Wang Mingquan and Luo Jiaying both ended their first failed marriage and met on the stage of Cantonese opera. 199 1 year, they first appeared as partners in the match between Mu and Hongzhou, and it was at this time that they began to know each other.
Soon after they met, Luo Jiaying confided his heart to Wang Mingquan, but Wang Mingquan said: Some people are only suitable for being friends, not for further development. Just like you and I.
Then in 1992, Luo Jiaying met an accountant, who was scheduled to get married in 1992, but Luo Jiaying canceled the engagement before marriage.
When asked about him later, he smiled and said, "I don't know who else I can love except her (Wang Mingquan)."
Luo Jiaying is not a man of words without practice. He worked harder in his career and won the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor. Everyone has gradually become familiar with this somewhat wordy "Tang Priest".
At that time, Luo Jiaying actually felt inferior. Many people say behind their backs that Luo Jiaying just wants to find a big tree to enjoy the cool. The two said nothing about it.
Wang Mingquan knows what Luo Jiaying thinks, but he dare not promise his future. So I cut my meetings with Luo Jiaying.
It's not that Wang Mingquan doesn't like Luo Jiaying, as the lyrics say: "The golden wind is better than countless people." She is happy with Luo Jiaying, but she is afraid of the triviality of public opinion and marriage. She thinks that Luo Jiaying's feelings for her are just a momentary fever.
Things are so delayed.

"You still have a half-life, I also have a half-life. Together, we are a complete life. "
In the video above, Luo Jiaying reads a love letter to Wang Mingquan. In the love letter, there is such a sentence that makes me cry:
You still have half life, I still have half life, together, we are a complete life.
Luo Jiaying said this not only emotionally, but from the heart.
Things have to start from 2002.
Wang Mingquan, who has always been healthy, was diagnosed with breast cancer and thyroid cancer. At that time, Luo Jiaying was filming Sex and the City in the Mainland. Upon hearing the news, he immediately asked the director to finish his own play (praising Mr. Luo Jiaying's professionalism), and then flew to Hong Kong, stopped all work and began to take good care of Wang Mingquan.
In 2002, before the operating table in Wang Mingquan, Luo Jiaying continued to tell Wang Mingquan: "Sister, you need a home, and someone who loves you will take care of you. Will you promise to marry me? " Wang Mingquan refused again: "My present situation is a burden to you."
Sick Wang Mingquan became very fragile. She said to take care of her, "Ying, you are the most sorry person in my life. If I am not here, you must find someone to take good care of you. "
Fortunately, the operation went well.
In 2003, Wang Mingquan held a solo concert in Hung Hom, and Luo Jiaying was invited as a guest. After singing the last song, Luo Jiaying took to the stage with roses in his hand and said to tens of millions of audiences and Wang Mingquan:
"Elder sister, how many years do you want me to wait for you alone? Promise me to marry me. "
Wang Mingquan was surprised and choked up and said, "I'll think about it."
Subsequently, the audience applauded.
In 2004, Wang Mingquan's condition improved. At this time, fate did not stop playing tricks on the couple. Shortly after Wang Mingquan recovered, Luo Jiaying suffered from liver cancer.
Wang Mingquan, who heard the news, cried all night.
Maybe it's really lost that I know how important this person is.
Wang Mingquan immediately rushed to Luo Jiaying side:
"I want to marry you!"
Luo Jiaying's operation was an unexpected success, and they were finally together.
Therefore, Luo Jiaying will say in the love letter: You still have half life, I still have half life, and together we are a complete life.
They spent half their lives for each other, experienced birth, illness and death, hesitated and rubbed each other off, and crossed the years of 2 1 and really came together.

"I don't know if there will be an end on the other side of the sky, but I only know that the lost time will not look back."
The song sung by Wang Mingquan and Luo Jiaying consists of two songs. As we all know, one is the Queqiao Fairy by Qin Guan, and the other is Paula Tsui's Cantonese golden song Downstream and Countercurrent.
This song was published in 1985 and composed by Cai Guoquan. The name of this song tells the life of Wang Mingquan and Luo Jiaying.
Upstream and downstream, these two people walked for most of their lives. There were times of prosperity and days of suffering, but at least there was a good result.
Here, I also want to talk about Qin Guan's Queqiao Fairy. This poem, written in the Northern Song Dynasty, is quoted by many people as the golden sentence of supreme love. Just pick out a paragraph, which is an eternal famous sentence embroidered with gold and silver.
And behind this word, there is also a story.
This poem tells the love story of the poet Qin Guan and Bian Chaohua:
They hit it off as soon as they met. Qin Guan once wrote a poem: "The wind blows the moon into the fence, and the black magpie is silent at midnight." Vega came to the pillow and realized that she was not on earth. "It is the allusion of Tanabata, which is used to describe their pure love.
Bian Chaohua was originally Qin Guan's concubine and finally became Qin Guan's wife.
As a result, shortly after marriage, Qin Guan was exiled to the south because of party struggle.
In order to prevent Bian Chaohua from suffering with himself in the wild land, Qin Guan was demoted and asked his father-in-law to take him back, went south alone and finally died in Guangxi. Bian Chaohua was also infatuated with Qin Guan. After that, she lost her hair as a nun and died in Ciyun Temple in Yuhuangshan. Before she died, she still clutched the poem that Qin Guan wrote to her before she was demoted.
This word was written when Qin Guan missed Bian Chaohua on Tanabata. It was ancient times, and it may be a lifetime apart, so Qin Guan wrote:
"The golden wind and the jade dew meet, winning countless people."
"If the two feelings last for a long time, sooner or later."
Look at it again at this moment, less sweetness and more melancholy.
There are many kinds of love, and there are many forms. We often say that all shall be well, jack shall have Jill, but in fact, these short sentences are not enough. Love is often sweet, but also tortuous, but also very painful.
Like Luo Jiaying and Wang Mingquan's love, like Qin Guan and Bian Chaohua's love, or like people in the world who love each other because of reality, it is not just a wish, but more like an unswerving oath.
If two people who love each other want to be together, they often have to cross many things, such as age, prejudice, public opinion about the right and wrong of others, and fate. Wang Mingquan and Luo Jiaying experienced so many ups and downs that they lost their passion and desire. It was not until death approached that they realized that the other person was the one they wanted to be together at all costs.
But not everyone in the world does.
Love and love refuse to wait for others, so if you want to give it, give it a kiss.
Don't wait until you lose it to know that the other person is the one you really want to be with.
I hope the story told in this article can give some inspiration to all people who are clearly in love but trapped by reality.
Life is so long, it's not white to be with someone you really love.
