On the stage of the Beijing Children's Palace Art Troupe, the young Qu Xian and Zhang Yunying met for the first time, their eyes flashing with love for art and longing for the future. Fate seems to have arranged it a long time ago, and the two were admitted to the Central Academy of Drama at the same time and became classmates.
In the process of learning performing arts, their relationship is also quietly growing.
Born in Indonesia in 1944, Qu Xianhe returned to China with his parents at an early age, while Zhang Yunying, born in Beijing in 1943, grew up in a city rich in history and culture.
They spent a wonderful and fulfilling time together at the Central Academy of Drama, where they studied acting skills together, discussed artistic concepts, and saw common dreams and pursuits in each other's eyes.
In 1966, Qu Xianhe graduated from the Performance Department of the Central Academy of Drama, and with full enthusiasm and artistic obsession, he resolutely asked to go to the grim northwest. This kind of courage and responsibility is undoubtedly an important reason for attracting Zhang Yunying.
Although the two are temporarily separated, their friendship is still closely linked.
In March 1967, Qu Xianhe and Zhang Yunying entered the palace of marriage hand in hand, and their life stage not only has the light of art, but also the warmth of love. The sweetness of the newlywed Yan'er will soon face the test of reality, but they firmly believe that as long as the two people are heart-to-heart, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.
In 1973, Qu Xianhe was transferred back to Beijing, and he was subsequently appointed head of the China Coal Mine Art Troupe. Zhang Yunying, on the other hand, focuses on the teaching work of the Central Academy of Drama and has cultivated batches of drama talents.
In 1982, in the years after Qu Xianhe became the youngest head of the art troupe in the country, Qu Xianhe and Zhang Yunying continued to advance on their artistic paths.
While their careers are becoming more and more prosperous, their feelings are also getting deeper and deeper in the polishing of time. Over the past 55 years, they have supported and shared the ups and downs of life. Whether on stage or in daily life, they appreciate each other from an artistic perspective and nourish their feelings with the soul of art.
In Tianjin Satellite TV's show "Look Who's Coming", the artist couple Qu Xian and Zhang Yunying shared the secret of their 55-year marriage, showing viewers a little-known side of their lives.
Qu Xianhe smiled and revealed his "exclusive cheats" to the audience. He said: "Every year on the wedding anniversary, her birthday, Valentine's Day in the East and the West, I will definitely give gifts, fifty-five years, I have not broken, there is no duplicate.
These words immediately aroused the exclamation of the scene, and the host Wang Fang even exclaimed: "My God, you are also a representative of Chinese men's romance!" ”
In the face of her husband's rhetoric, Zhang Yunying was not to be outdone, and joked: "Therefore, he neither cooks, cleans up the house, nor does laundry, or does anything in his life......
Speaking of this, Zhang Yunying couldn't help laughing, and then said: "My son has already come to a conclusion, he said, Mom, you are too stupid, why do you eat my dad's set?" These words not only made the audience laugh more happily, but also let people see the warm atmosphere of this family.
Zhang Yunying's words were ridiculous, but the tenderness in her eyes could not be concealed. Obviously, she has long been accustomed to these little tricks of her husband and enjoys them. And Qu Xianhe heard his wife's "accusation" against him, but he just looked at her with a smile, his eyes full of doting.
The couple's conversations, while full of humor, also reveal what their daily lives are really like. They use a relaxed way to resolve the trivial things in life, and use a ridiculous way to express deep emotions.
Qu Xianhe's romance and careful thinking, Zhang Yunying's tolerance and ridicule, and his son's humorous comments have all shaped the family's unique way of getting along.
Perhaps, this is the secret of their long-term marriage: there is both a sense of romantic ritual and the fireworks of life; They can not only tease each other, but also know how to cherish each other. From their stories, we can see that marriage not only needs vigorous romance, but also mutual understanding and tolerance day after day.
Qu Xianhe and Zhang Yunying perfectly interpret what true love is in their way. Since they met 55 years ago, art has nourished their lives, humor resolves conflicts, and sincere feelings warm each other.
Their love story is not only a legend of the two, but also a vivid teaching material for marriage, allowing people to see the wisdom and true meaning of maintaining a long-term marriage.
2024 is a special year for Qu Xianhe and Zhang Yunying. They will celebrate their 55th wedding anniversary, an important moment known as the "Emerald Wedding". Emeralds symbolize holiness and steadfast love, aptly illustrating the deep affection that the artist couple has had for more than half a century.
In order to celebrate this special day, Qu Xianhe carefully selected and purchased a precious emerald pendant from abroad as a gift for his wife Zhang Yunying. The pendant glows green and is not only a piece of valuable jewelry, but also a deep gratitude to Qu Xianhe for his wife's companionship and support over the past 55 years.
Every time Zhang Yunying wears this pendant, she will think of the years they have walked together, and warm memories will spring up in her heart.
Zhang Yunying always wanted to prepare a gift for her husband Qu Xianhe. She chose a set of commemorative stamps for the Winter Olympics and gave it to him. Although this set of stamps is not as expensive as emerald, it shows her understanding and support for her husband's interests.
When Qu Xianhe received this special gift, his eyes flashed with surprise, as if he saw the girl who understood him and loved him again.
However, for the artist couple, perhaps their most precious gift is not the physical object, but their new book, "A Hundred Feelings on the Practice of Recitation". As Qu Xianhe said: "You can't just say it, you have to leave some words down." "
This book embodies their lifelong love and thinking about the art of recitation, and records the feelings, gains and understandings of engaging in the art of recitation.
The manuscript of this book is soaked with their painstaking efforts, and every word carries their artistic pursuits. This book is not only a summary of their artistic careers, but also a testimony to their mutual growth and growth.
When they flipped through the book together, it was as if they had gone back to the days when they worked side by side and supported each other.
On this special day, known as the "Emerald Wedding", Qu Xianhe and Zhang Yunying expressed their deep love by giving gifts. Their new book speaks of their passion and pursuit of art.
Their life and love story are like a beautiful pas de deux, composing their own beautiful music on the stage of art and love.
Qu Xianhe and Zhang Yunying are not only the most important people in each other's lives, but also the honorific title of the students of Guangzhou. Their contributions to the field of education have nourished the fertile soil of the Chinese theater industry and nurtured many outstanding talents who are now shining in the entertainment industry.
Zhang Guangbei fondly recalled his experience of applying for art schools at that time. At that time, it was Qu Xian and his teacher who provided him with valuable pre-exam tutoring. At that time, Mr. Qu's eyes were full of love for art, and he patiently taught this young man full of dreams.
After Zhang Guangbei entered the school, he was fortunate to become a student of Mr. Zhang Yunying, who not only imparted professional knowledge to him with a gentle and rigorous teaching method, but also cultivated his persistent pursuit of art.
Zhang Hanyu sighed emotionally to Mr. and Mrs. Qu: "In my heart, Mr. and Mrs. Qu are like my parents. He recalled that he had gone abroad to develop, but wanted to return to the regiment in less than a year.
At that time, Qu Xian and the head of the regiment cherished their talents very much, and happily promised to give him the opportunity to return to the stage, and Mr. Qu's support and encouragement became a bright light on Zhang Hanyu's career path.
Zhang Kaili expressed her gratitude to Qu Xianhe and Zhang Yunying: "Without Teacher Qu and Teacher Zhang, I would not have what I have achieved today. She also recalled that when she went to Beijing from the Northeast, it was the transfer of Qu Xian and her teachers that gave her this opportunity.
And Teacher Zhang Yunying's words have made her acting career have a breakthrough development, and this teacher-student relationship has long gone beyond the simple relationship between teaching and learning, and has become one of the most valuable assets in Zhang Kaili's life.
Although he couldn't go to the scene due to work reasons, Jin Dong still specially recorded a blessing video. He sincerely said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Qu, you have been carefully cultivating me, teaching us young people how to behave, how to act, and how to treat everything around us.
These words not only contain gratitude for professional knowledge, but also reflect the profound influence of Mr. Qu on the students in terms of life.
Qu Xianhe and Zhang Yunying's contributions in the field of art education are not limited to imparting professional knowledge, they have influenced students' outlook on life and values with their words and deeds, and interpreted what it means to be a real artist with their own artistic life.
Their teachings are like a rain, nourishing generations of artistic seedlings and keeping the Chinese theater stage alive and vigorous.
On the occasion of Qu Xianhe and Zhang Yunying celebrating the emerald wedding, many friends in the circle sent sincere blessings, like a moving hymn, singing the love and artistic life of the artist couple.
The famous film and television actor Chen Wei posted a blessing on social platforms: "Our beloved teachers Qu Xianhe and Zhang Yunying! Chen Wei's simple words were full of respect and blessings for the two teachers.
The other actors of the 85th "Five Golden Flowers" of Chinese opera, such as Gong Li, Wu Yujuan, Shi Ke, and Jin Lili, may also be silently blessed in their hearts.
