In 1957, in an ordinary family in Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province, Yan Weiwen fell to the ground. His father was an ordinary worker, and his mother was a housewife.
Yan Weiwen's arrival made the already not wealthy family of four even more stretched. In the early years, my grandfather once opened a small workshop, but he was defined as a capitalist, and relatives and friends stayed away, which made the family even worse.
Despite the difficult life, Yan Weiwen has been sensible and well-behaved since he was a child. He often secretly went to the mountains to pick sand berries, and then ran back down the mountain to sell them for money. Once when I went home, my mother didn't know it, she was worried all day, and scolded: "You kid has stiff wings and you don't know how to tell your family when you go out, do you know that your family has been looking for you for a day?" Yan Weiwen cried aggrievedly and put the money from the sale of Shaqi in his mother's hands.
Only then did the mother realize that she had blamed her son, and she felt guilty. This little episode made Yan Weiwen more aware of the difficulties of his parents, and secretly determined to get ahead and let his parents live a good life.
When he was 13 years old, Yan Weiwen's math teacher found that he had an excellent voice and was a malleable talent. On the recommendation of his teacher, he was admitted to the Shanxi Provincial Song and Dance Troupe and became a dancer.
This job brought him his first salary, which was between 10 and 30 yuan each time. When his peers happily discussed buying things to watch movies, Yan Weiwen always silently handed over all his salary to his mother.
After two years in the song and dance troupe, Yan Weiwen met a new professor and began to study vocal music. His talent was quickly unleashed and things were getting better and better day by day. However, in small places, singing is often seen as unlearned.
In order to seek better development, Yan Weiwen decided to apply for the propaganda team of the Shanxi Provincial Military Region. The decision means that his salary will plummet from $10 to $30 a month to $6. With apprehension, Yan Weiwen explained the situation to his mother.
Mother did not hesitate at all, and said firmly: "Go, Mom supports you, no matter how hard the days are, we can get through it." This unconditional support became a strong motivation for Yan Weiwen to persist in his dreams in the future.
In this way, Yan Weiwen took the blessing of his family and embarked on the journey of a military singer. In the propaganda team of the military region, he not only found a stage to display his talents, but also met the love of his life - Liu Weixing.
The two were assigned to the same team, got along day and night, and a tacit understanding gradually emerged. However, due to strict discipline, their relationship was always inseparable, and neither of them pierced the window paper.
This young and innocent relationship added a touch of warmth to Yan Weiwen's military career, and also laid an important foundation for his future life. In 1982, after 7 years of crushes, Yan Weiwen and Liu Weixing finally tied the knot under the arrangement of their parents.
Liu Weixing was also transferred to work at a post and telecommunications office in Beijing, ending their long-distance life. Soon after, they ushered in the crystallization of love - daughter Yan Jingjing. In order to make the newlyweds work with peace of mind, Yan Weiwen's mother came to Beijing from Shanxi to help take care of the children.
Every day when he comes home from work, Yan Weiwen can see the warm picture of his mother taking care of his daughter and his wife cooking and waiting for him to come back, which makes him feel extremely happy. In 1984, Yan Weiwen became famous with a song "Little Poplar".
This song warmed the hearts of countless frontier soldiers, and also greatly increased Yan Weiwen's popularity. Two years later, he participated in the second Youth TV Singer Contest and won the third prize in the professional group of national singing, which was a big step forward in his career.
However, at this time, Yan Weiwen was still in a state of "singing celebrities are not popular". During the condolence performance on the front line, everyone only knew to call him "Little Topol", but they didn't know his real name.
Yan Weiwen longs to be like his predecessors Yang Hongji, Jiang Dawei, and Li Shuangjiang, and can be remembered by the audience. Finally, at the age of 31, the opportunity came. CCTV is holding the third Young Singer Competition, which is a stage where more people can see him.
However, just when Yan Weiwen was in full swing preparing for the competition, fate dealt him a heavy blow. His wife, Liu Weixing, suddenly fell ill and was diagnosed with breast cancer after examination. Yan Weiwen originally decided to give up the competition, wanting to accompany his wife to have surgery first and overcome the current predicament together.
He said to his wife: "Don't worry, everything is with me, we just need to follow the doctor's arrangement now and hurry up the operation." However, Liu Weixing rejected the offer of surgery. She knew how important this opportunity was to her husband, and insisted that Yan Weiwen finish the race first and then be hospitalized.
With the persistence and encouragement of his wife, Yan Weiwen stepped onto the stage of CCTV with mixed feelings. During the competition, he always cared about his wife at home, and every time he took the stage, he secretly prayed that he hoped to bring strength to his wife with his singing.
In the end, Yan Weiwen won the championship with a song "Our Motherland Song Sweet Flowers". When the results of the game were announced, Yan Weiwen rushed to the door excitedly, hugged his long-awaited wife tightly, and choked up: "Wife, we succeeded."
Liu Weixing had tears in her eyes and felt heartfelt joy for her husband's success. This year, Yan Weiwen not only won the competition, but also appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time. On Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole family sat around the TV, waiting for Yan Weiwen to appear.
This is undoubtedly the most memorable year for Yan Weiwen's family - both the glory of their career and the test of life. After the competition, Liu Weixing was admitted to the hospital with peace of mind, and the operation was very successful thanks to the efforts of the doctors.
Yan Weiwen took good care of his wife every day and didn't let his wife do any heavy work. This experience made Yan Weiwen cherish this hard-won relationship even more and treat his wife as a treasure. In 1992, Yan Weiwen's career was in a booming stage.
He was escorted to the People's Liberation Army Art School for further study, and his future is bright. However, fate dealt the couple another blow - Liu Weixing's cancer cells spread. In the face of his wife's illness, Yan Weiwen did not hesitate at all, resolutely went through the withdrawal procedures, turned off a lot of work, and chose to retire and return to the family.
This decision seems inconceivable to outsiders. Many people advised Yan Weiwen to cherish his hard-won career opportunities, but he just said lightly: "Compared with those ordinary men, I can't give her a lot!" When I turned my head, it was actually my wife who gave me more.
Her strength, her tolerance and understanding made me feel like I should have done better. Since 1993, people can only see Yan Weiwen on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
In the following years, he appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala a total of 111 times. He devoted all his energy to taking care of his wife, carefully preparing every meal, and accompanying her through the difficult time of chemotherapy.
During these difficult days, Yan Weiwen often encouraged his wife: "Don't worry, everything is with me." His strength and optimism infected Liu Weixing and gave her the courage to continue fighting.
Despite the hardships of life, Yan Weiwen never regretted his choice. He knows that without the support of his wife, he would not be where he is today. This perseverance and dedication have finally paid off.
At the end of 2003, Liu Weixing conducted another review. The doctor happily said to Yan Weiwen: "She finally survived the dangerous period, she is so sick, but she can recover so well, what a miracle!" Yan Weiwen couldn't believe his ears and asked the doctor to repeat it several times.
In the end, he was so excited that he jumped up with joy in the hospital holding his wife, and tears flowed uncontrollably. Liu Weixing is grateful for her husband's dedication, she said: "Really, having such a husband is the greatest happiness in my life, without his care, without the confidence he has given me over the years, to be honest, I may have died a long time ago."
In 2004, CCTV Spring Festival Gala invited Yan Weiwen to sing again. He told his wife that he planned to perform "Our Motherland Song Sweet Flowers". His wife was very puzzled and asked why she sang this old song, Yan Weiwen said affectionately: "It has witnessed our marriage and love through thick and thin."
This year's Spring Festival Gala, Yan Weiwen's performance was particularly moving. The audience seems to be able to hear the love for life and the cherishing of love from his singing. This performance also brought Yan Weiwen back into the public eye, but he always maintained the importance of his family, putting his wife and family first.
Yan Weiwen used practical actions to explain what is the real love between husband and wife, and what is responsibility and responsibility. His story is not only the struggle of a successful singer, but also a touching love story, which allows people to see the true meaning of marriage and the warmth of family.
After his wife recovered, Yan Weiwen's life was revitalized. His performance on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala became more and more brilliant and won the love of the audience.
However, as her daughter Yan Jingjing grows up, new challenges arise. After Yan Jingjing graduated from high school, Yan Weiwen and his wife sent her to Canada to study. Unexpectedly, her daughter came up with the idea of developing abroad.
In order to let his daughter return to China, Yan Weiwen had to use the family card, and even mentioned his wife's physical condition, before finally persuading his daughter to return to the embrace of the motherland. After returning to China, Yan Jingjing quickly found her dream job with her high education.
However, Yan Weiwen began to worry about his daughter's marriage again. He told his friends about his daughter's situation, hoping that everyone could help Zhang Luo. By chance, through the introduction of her colleague Tan Jing, Yan Jingjing met Li Hehe.
Li Hehe is an outstanding young man who graduated from Harvard University's School of Business Administration, and his father was a former foreign minister. The two young people quickly developed a good impression and hated to see each other late.
Yan Weiwen inquired through friends and learned that Li Hehe had a very good evaluation in all aspects, especially in terms of character, so he was relieved to entrust his daughter. In 2008, Yan Jingjing and Li Hehe held a wedding.
In line with the principle of keeping a low profile, only 30 tables of banquets were set up by parents on both sides. At the wedding, Yan Weiwen sang "Husband and Wife Love" affectionately, passing on his understanding and blessings of marriage to the newlyweds.
He hopes that the marriage of his daughter and son-in-law can work together to overcome difficulties no matter what difficulties they encounter. After marriage, the young couple occasionally have conflicts. Whenever this happens, Yan Weiwen always chooses to defend his son-in-law, so much so that his daughter once doubted whether she was biological.
In fact, this is all Yan Weiwen's good intentions. He understands that his daughter is biological, and he will not hold a grudge no matter what he says, but if he blames his son-in-law, he may leave a mustard in his son-in-law's heart.
In private, Yan Weiwen often teaches her daughter: "A woman should be virtuous, respect her husband, and be filial to her in-laws." Women are too sharp to be happy. These words encapsulate years of marital wisdom.
Yan Weiwen not only preached, but also practiced. Due to the early death of his father-in-law and father, he took the two elderly people to take care of him, and the relationship with his mother-in-law was as close as that of mother and son. He even brought his mother and mother-in-law to the show, so that the two old people could feel the joy of old age.
Yan Weiwen's words and deeds deeply influenced his son-in-law Li Hehe and became an example for him to learn. Through his actions, Yan Weiwen not only maintained a harmonious family relationship, but also passed on his values to the next generation, so that the seeds of happiness could take root and sprout in the family.
5. Inheritance and Enlightenment (300 words) Today, the 64-year-old Yan Weiwen has achieved fame, but he still maintains a humble and loving attitude towards life. He enjoys family life more, taking care of his grandson and granddaughter, and experiencing the happiness of four generations in the same house.
, a military singer who has appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala 12 times, now cherishes the warmth and companionship between his family members even more. Yan Weiwen's life story is not only the struggle of a successful singer, but also a touching love story.
He used practical actions to explain what is the real love between husband and wife, and what is responsibility and responsibility. From an obscure poor boy to a successful singer, to a resolute retirement to take care of his sick wife, Yan Weiwen's choice shows his character and mind every step of the way.
His story has brought us a profound inspiration: while pursuing career success, we should cherish our loved ones and protect our families. Because the happiness of the family is the most valuable wealth in life.
As Liu Weixing said, having such a husband is the greatest happiness in her life. Yan Weiwen's dedication and persistence not only saved his wife's life, but also achieved an enviable and happy marriage.
Yan Weiwen's excellent qualities have imperceptibly influenced the people around him, including his son-in-law. He leads by example, passing on his life wisdom and values to the next generation, so that love and responsibility can be passed on from generation to generation in the family.
This kind of spiritual wealth is far more precious than his achievements in the music industry, and it also has more long-term significance.
