In the winter of 1974, in an ordinary bedroom in Beijing, the famous actor Tian Fang was lying on the sickbed, his breath was weak. With the last of his strength, he whispered to his wife Yu Lan: "There is 200 yuan in the closet, you can go and get it."
Yu Lan responded with tears: "When you're okay, let's go together." However, fate made people, and the next morning, Tian Qian passed away quietly, and his eyes never closed.
Yu Lan trembled her hands and gently closed her eyelids for her husband. At this moment, she seemed to see the 34 years they had spent together, and those laughter, tears, challenges and warmth were all condensed in this final farewell.
Since then, Yu Lan has started a 46-year widowhood career, interpreting the deep affection of "from the beginning to the end" with actions.
The 200 yuan inheritance and the pair of eyes that could not be closed have become the prologue of a legendary love story, and also witnessed the eternal commitment of a couple's deep love.
In 1938, in war-torn China, 17-year-old Yu Lan embarked on a journey to Yan'an with enthusiasm for the revolution. A coincidence of fate allowed her to meet Tian Fang, who was already 29 years old, in this red land.
At that time, Tian Fang was already a well-known actor, and his superb acting skills in "Top Gun", especially those deep and divine eyes, had already made the young Yu Lan admire.
Recalling the scene when he first saw Tian Fang, Yu Lan's eyes flashed with a soft light. "At that time, he was like an idol who stepped off the screen, and people couldn't take their eyes off it.
She whispered, as if she had gone back to those green days. Yu Lan never thought that the idol in her heart would become the love of her life.
Two years later, in 1940, 19-year-old Yu Lan tied the knot with Tian Fang. Although Tian Fang had been married for a while and had two children, this did not shake Yu Lan's love for him in the slightest.
She chose to devote herself to this relationship, and despite the opposition of relatives and friends, she resolutely became the stepmother of Tian Fang's child.
However, life after marriage is not a fairy tale. Tian Fang is busy with work and often ignores Yu Lan's feelings. In order to take care of her stepson, Yu Lan even gave up her reproductive rights.
She silently endured the loss in her heart, but did not choose to give up. After careful consideration, Yu Lan plucked up the courage to have an in-depth exchange with Tian Fang. This long talk became a turning point in their marriage, and Tian Fang began to pay more attention to Lan's feelings, and their relationship became deeper and deeper.
For the next 34 years, Yu Lan supported Tian Fang's career with amazing perseverance. She is not only a competent wife and mother, but also an excellent actress.
In "Sister Jiang", the character created by Yu Lan is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, as if he is a real person who came out of that era. However, for the sake of her family, she had to give up her acting career opportunities many times.
When asked why he no longer married, a trace of firmness flashed in Yu Lan's eyes: "Comrade Tian Fang is loyal to my love, and I can't live up to his deep affection."
This simple sentence expresses her deep love for Tian Fang, and also interprets the true meaning of their love.
Their relationship has experienced the baptism of war, and they have also endured the test of career and family. From acquaintance, acquaintance to staying together, Yu Lan and Tian Fang used their lives to interpret what sincere love is.
Even after Tian Fang's death, Yu Lan still adhered to this relationship, and spent 46 years telling her thoughts and loyalty to her husband.
Their story is not only a personal legend, but also a microcosm of the love of that era. In the turbulent era, the relationship between Yu Lan and Tian Fang was like a beacon, illuminating each other's life paths and leaving a good story for future generations.
The year 1963 was a turning point for Takata. As the deputy director of Beijing Film Studio and the head of the Beijing Film Actors Troupe, he has not set foot on the screen for three years.
When the famous director Wu Zhaodi invited him to play the role of "Political Commissar Wang" in "Children of Heroes", Tian Fang's heart was full of contradictions.
"I'm worried that my acting skills have become rusty," Tian Fang said frankly, his brows furrowed slightly, revealing his awe for art. However, Wu Zhaodi's sincerity and persistence eventually impressed him.
The director firmly believes that Tian Fang's infectious eye play is exactly what this role needs. After much deliberation, Takata took a deep breath and accepted the challenge.
On the set, Tian Fang devoted himself to the role of political commissar Wang. His fiery eyes and calm temperament perfectly interpret the image of a senior commander of the Volunteer Army.
Every look, every movement, contains a deep understanding of the role and loyalty to the revolutionary cause. Tian Fang's performance made people feel as if they saw the real Wang political commissar walking down the screen.
The success of "Heroes' Children" not only shocked the audience, but also allowed Tian Fang to stand at the peak of his career again. Those classic lines and scenes in the film are still talked about today.
Tian Fang's interpretation is considered to be his true character, and his image of Wang Political Commissar has become a model in the history of Chinese cinema.
However, fate always plays tricks. Shortly after the film's release, Takata was diagnosed with cancer. This bad news is undoubtedly a heavy blow to him and his family.
When he heard the news, Tian Fang's heart must have been filled with mixed emotions. He may recall his acting career, from his debut in "Little Girl", to Tian Dehou, who made Yu Lan "fall in love at first sight" in "Top Gun", and then to Commander Yang in "Chrysanthemums in the Mountains".
Every role is a part of his life, and the political commissar Wang in "Children of Heroes" has become the perfect curtain call for his artistic career.
Just a few months later, at the age of 63, Tian passed away. His departure is not only a loss to his family, but also a great loss to the Chinese film industry. However, his performance in "Children of Heroes" is forever fixed on the screen and has become a classic moment in the history of Chinese cinema.
To this day, whenever "Heroic Children" is played again, the audience can still feel the fiery patriotic feelings and profound humanitarian spirit of Wang Political Commissar portrayed by Tian Fang.
His performances transcended their time and became timeless artistic treasures.
Tian Fang's artistic career, like a moving symphony, with "Heroic Children" as the final climax, has left a deep imprint on the hearts of the audience. He used his life to interpret what a real actor is and what is the persistent pursuit of art.
Although it has been 50 years since Tian Fang left us, his artistic spirit and infectious eyes still inspire generations of filmmakers.
Behind Tian Fang's brilliant acting career, there is always a figure who silently supports him - his wife Yu Lan. As an outstanding actor, Yu Lan has created many memorable roles on the screen, the most praised of which is the wonderful performance in "Sister Jiang".
She interprets the characters vividly, as if they were real people who came out of that special era.
However, in order to support her husband's career, Yu Lan paid unimaginable sacrifices. She not only took on the burden of the family, but also resolutely gave up her reproductive rights in order to take care of her stepson.
When asked about these sacrifices, a trace of mixed emotions flashed in Yu Lan's eyes, but they were quickly replaced by determination. "That's my choice," she said calmly, "and I hope that Takata can devote himself to his career without any worries."
After Tian Fang's death, Yu Lan raised three children alone. Her strength and perseverance are awe-inspiring. Even at the age of 95, she still attends the "Salute to the Classics" program in a wheelchair, interpreting her attitude towards life with the word "true".
This word not only represents her pursuit of art, but also reflects her attitude towards life.
Yu Lan's life is like a thick epic, full of hardships and perseverance. She is not only an excellent actor, but also a model of a virtuous helper and a good mother.
In the 46 years of widowhood, she has always maintained her loyalty to Tian Fang. When asked why she no longer married, Yu Lan always replied firmly: "Comrade Tian Fang is loyal to my love, and I can't live up to his deep affection."
In 2020, 99-year-old Yu Lan passed away peacefully. Her life is not only the life trajectory of an outstanding actor, but also a portrayal of the tenacious character of women in an era.
She used practical actions to interpret what it means to "start from the beginning", and her deep affection for Tian Fang has become a good story in the Chinese film industry.
Yu Lan's story allows us to see how a woman finds a balance between career and family, and how she maintains herself in difficult years. Her strength, her talent, and her loyalty have all become examples for future generations to admire.
In the long history of Chinese films, Yu Lan's name and Tian Fang's name will always stand side by side, shining with their own light.
The departure of Tian Fang and Yu Lan did not dissipate their influence in the film and television industry. Their three sons inherit their parents' artistic spirit and attitude towards life in their own unique ways.
They are best known for their second son, Tian Zhuangzhuang, who is unique in the film industry as a representative of China's fifth generation of directors. Although he has experienced a ten-year ban on filming, Tian Zhuangzhuang has never given up his love for movies.
His persistence eventually paid off. In 2023, Tian Zhuangzhuang won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 13th Beijing International Film Festival for his outstanding performance in "The Light of the White Tower".
This achievement is not only a testament to his talent as a director, but also to his strength as an actor.
The second son, Tian Xinxin, chose to work behind the scenes and became an excellent recording engineer. His masterpiece "The Fence Woman and the Dog" has been acclaimed in the industry and showcases his unique talent in the art of sound.
Unlike his younger brothers, the eldest son chose to live away from the entertainment industry. He lived an ordinary and simple life, inheriting his parents' way of life in his own way.
Whenever they talk about the influence of their parents on them, the Tian brothers' eyes will shine with respect and nostalgia. "My father's professionalism and my mother's tenacity have always been the driving force for us to move forward," Tian Zhuangzhuang once said, his voice full of gratitude.
In December 2023, the movie "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Star" starring Tian Zhuangzhuang will be released in China, which has once again attracted people's attention to this artistic family.
Although Tian Fang and Yu Lan have passed away, their artistic spirit and life wisdom have been continued through the works of their children.
The story of the Tian family is not only the inheritance of a family, but also a microcosm of the development of Chinese films. From Tian Fang and Yu Lan to Tian Zhuangzhuang and Tian Xinxin, we have seen the persistence and pursuit of Chinese filmmakers for generations, and also witnessed the changes and development of China's film industry.
Half a century later, "Heroes' Children" still shines brightly in the history of Chinese cinema. This classic starring Tian Fang is not only the pinnacle of his personal artistic career, but also the cultural imprint of an era.
The profound emotional expression and exquisite artistic attainments in the film still make the audience feel excited.
However, in this era of rapid technological development, we can't help but ask: why are there so few classics like "Heroes' Children" today? Is it that the actors no longer focus on the in-depth portrayal of the characters, or the screenwriters lack in-depth insight into social reality? This question may require the entire film industry to ponder and explore.
The success of "Children of Heroes" has brought profound inspiration to today's film creation. It reminds us that true classics require the ingenuity of creators, a deep understanding of the times and human nature, and more importantly, the infinite love and persistent pursuit of the film industry by artists.
