When I was young, my family watched TV together, some singers sang "A big river is wide with waves", and my mother commented that "Singing is not as good as Guo Lanying". Since then, Guo Lanying's name has been remembered in his heart. Guo Lanying, in Li Guyi's eyes, was the first person to sing national songs, and his representative works include "White Haired Girl", "People Say Shanxi Has Good Scenery" and so on. What really made Guo Lanying popular all over the country was in 1956, singing the song "My Motherland" for the movie "Shangganling".
Today, Guo Lanying, who has passed ninety, sang "a big river with wide waves", still wants to shed tears, and it seems that the love is always touching. So, why did this emotional singer experience two marriages in his life, childless and childless?
01
Guo Lanying was born in December 1930 in Xiangle Township, Pingyao, Shanxi. The father Guo Yingjie and the mother Liu Furong have five sons, of which the fourth is sent, and when the fifth is born, the family has no food and starves to death. Lan Ying was the sixth oldest, and when her mother gave birth to two younger brothers, the seventh and eighth, she gave them all to others. Although Lan Ying was the first female doll of the Guo family, her arrival did not make her parents smile.
The yellow-faced, hungry and thin mother did not have milk to feed at all. In desperation, he wrapped Up Xiao Lanying and threw it to the village entrance, hoping that the well-wishers could adopt her. In fact, the parents of the Guo family are very clear that the situation of the first family in the village is not good, because in 1929, shanxi was flooded and drought- and the victims were displaced. Lan Ying was able to survive thanks to having an aunt. The aunt had just lost her child, and when she heard that Xiao Lanying had been thrown to the mouth of the village, she hurriedly carried her home. Since then, Lan Ying stayed at her aunt's house for three years before returning home.
Life at home is still poor and there is still nothing to eat. Dad worked for the rich man's family, and his family only had a little land and could not support the family. There was no way, the parents had to send Lan Ying to learn Jin drama. That year, Lan Ying was 4 years old.

At that time, the study of drama, also called play, under the stick out of talent. Lan Ying's master, guo Yangcheng, asked Lan Ying to sleep on his feet. why? It's about breaking your legs behind your back and resting your feet under the back of your head.
Lan Ying pillowed his left leg in the first half of the night, and in the second half of the night, Master knocked with a stick to "change legs for legs". When the whole left leg was taken down, it was unconscious, but it still had to come down little by little. For two hours, Master came again to urge "leg change." Lan Ying was bitter, Master was not easy, he couldn't be lazy, he still had to ask Xiao Lan Ying to change his legs over and over again.
Later, Lan Ying began to practice running round field, just in the yard, walking is full of potholes, tatters, right here, but also to lower the waist, kick legs, take the top, turn over. Master stood aside, holding a sheep herding whip, sometimes Lan Ying's hand just went down, as soon as his hand reached the ground, Master's whip snapped, and he couldn't lift it up, and he couldn't lift it, and the whip was wrapped around his hand. In this way, the whip was to be pulled down from the hand, and the hand was all broken, so that lan ying's skin came down.
In countless painful days, Lan Ying has cultivated his own good skills, turning over his head, lowering his waist, kicking his legs, and holding the top, and every action can be controlled freely. Gradually, Lan Ying became famous in the local area, and everyone loved to listen to the gentle and tortuous singing voice of this famous character. For a time, her performance was full, known as "Mei Lanfang in Jin Opera".

At the age of 16, Lan Ying came to Zhangjiakou with the drama class to perform. By chance, when she heard about the extraordinary opera "The White-Haired Girl", she had the heart to watch it. When she arrived at the scene, Lan Ying found that the actors on the stage, one by one, were dressed in rags, not at all like the heads of their Jin operas, paying attention to the competition. And when Lan Ying invested in the plot of "The White-Haired Girl", she shed tears for Xi'er.
At this time, Lan Ying made up his mind to leave the Jin Opera Troupe and join the Cultural and Labor Troupe and become a member of the revolution. At that time, Lan Ying only recognized the three words "Guo Lanying", which was typically illiterate. Lan Ying always felt: No culture, it is really humiliating, revolutionary comrades must look down on me! No, I want to learn culture, in order to catch up with the comrades around me, Lan Ying decided to learn 10 words a day. Kung Fu pays off, and Lan Ying is making rapid progress day by day.
At the age of 19, Lan Ying was invited to star in Xi'er in "The White-Haired Girl". She divided Xi'er's crying into several levels, especially the last sentence of "Daddy", which immediately brought the audience into the real situation and shed tears from the bottom of her heart. Since then, Lan Ying's "Xi'er" has become a classic of the Chinese Opera House. The performance of plays such as "Husband and Wife Literacy", "Dou Moth Wrong", "Liu Hulan" and so on has become Lan Ying's representative works again and again, and has created her own glory. Later, Lan Ying began to sing songs, such as "Shandan Dan Flowers Bloom Red and Colorful", "Water Comes to Mountains", "Nanniwan" and so on. In each song, Lan Ying is integrated into the flavor of Shanxi Zizi, and each capital has its own unique charm. Others can't imitate it, and they can't envy it.

Lan Ying's career, while achieving something, the red line of the old man under the moon also began to flutter. Fang Pudong, a former Chinese opera and dance theater performer, was associated with Lan Ying for opera. Lan Ying performed on stage, and Fang Pudong obsessively enjoyed it offstage. Both had a strong interest in opera and had endless words. Under the strong pursuit of Fang Pudong, Lan Ying married this iron fan.
Fang Pudong didn't have to say anything good to Lan Ying, plus Lan Ying had a baby in his belly, and he was even more attentive to the service before and after the saddle. One day, the unit arranged for Lan Ying to travel on a business trip to participate in a condolence performance. Lan Ying did not want to go, but considering that this was a condolence to the border guards, she agreed without hesitation. People are not as good as heaven, just on the way back, Lan Ying accidentally miscarried. During the course of the treatment, her uterus was damaged and she was unable to conceive ever since.
Just when Lan Ying was in the pain of losing her fetus, Fang Pudong proposed to her to break up. There are three filial pieties, no queen is great, and Lan Ying, who is discouraged, does not want to entangle and decides to let go and complete the other party. In this way, Lan Ying's first marriage disintegrated. Since then, she has decided to be single for the rest of her life and live with her mother.

Until one day, Wan Trillion yuan found Lan Ying. Lan Ying was in pain and told the truth about her inability to have children.
Who knows, Wan Zhaoyuan said that he didn't care, as long as he could live with Lan Ying, he was very satisfied. In this way, Lan Ying entered the marriage for the second time. Indeed, as Wan Trillion said, they loved each other, although they did not have children, but they also lived a hot life.
