Zhang Shaohua, the old drama bone, has passed away. However, the right and wrong grudges between her and the famous opera performance artist Xin Fengxia are still debated by the majority of netizens.
The focus of the debate is nothing more than two points.
One is, did Zhang Shaohua take the lead in smashing Xin Fengxia's home and "crippling" it in a special era, as Xin Fengxia's son, the famous painter Wu Huan said? Did you snatch Mr. Qi Baishi's best products that did not belong to her?
The other is, should Zhang Shaohua apologize for this?
In fact, for most of us, we just want the truth.
If the matter is really as Wu Huan said, then Zhang Shaohua should also make a public apology for the matter.
But in the end, everyone did not wait for Zhang Shaohua's "I'm sorry."
I think that what everyone cares more about is whether Zhang Shaohua has real remorse for some of the wrong behaviors he made when he was young.
But what is the truth of the matter?
In 2017, Mr. Wu Huan specially posted an article on the self-media platform to commemorate the 90th birthday of his mother Xin Fengxia. The article specifically mentions that in 1966, Zhang Shaohua, a young actor at the China Critics Theater, led a team to smash xinfengxia's home. And asked Zhang Shaohua: Do you remember those past events?
At this time, Zhang Shaohua became a veteran drama bone loved by the people because he successfully created the image of the old lady in a series of film and television dramas.
However, Wu Huan's news suddenly made Zhang Shaohua's image in everyone's mind plummet.
Many netizens expressed shock: I really did not expect that Zhang Shaohua, who mainly created a simple and kind mother image on the screen, was so "fierce" when he was young.
Immediately afterward, Zhang Shaohua responded to Wu Huan's statement the next day.
She wrote in the article: She received a notice from the critic theater, so she took someone to deal with it, and returned to the review theater to report after settling the old people and children.
However, in this regard, Wu Huan insisted on his own statement. And a few hours later, he responded to Zhang Shaohua: Right and wrong, good and evil blessings and misfortunes, since ancient times, it is not surprising, this is the "drama of the world". The old opera sings, "People are doing, the sky is watching, and there are gods three feet up!" ”
Perhaps many people will think that this is only Wu Huan's side of the word.
However, as early as 2012, Ms. Wu Shuang, the daughter of Xin Fengxia, a famous soprano singer in China, publicly stated on social platforms that she did not like Zhang Shaohua. Because, she will never forget the scene when Zhang Shaohua took the lead in coming to her house to criticize Xin Fengxia and raid her home. And all this is what Wu Shuang saw with his own eyes. He also pointed out that Zhang Shaohua was a very fierce and extreme rebel at that time.
In fact, for Zhang Shaohua's rebel image, Xin Fengxia also wrote it in her memoirs.
One of the passages clearly records the scene of Zhang Shaohua and others visiting her home to raid her home.
In the text, it is mentioned that Zhang Shaohua and four other people tied the calligraphy and paintings of Qi Baishi to their bicycles, and they were bundled up early, and the four people rode on the car and left. These paintings were pre-planned by a few of them to grab.
So, where did these Qi Baishi calligraphy and paintings go after that?
Zhang Shaohua never explained this.
Through the descriptions of Xin Fengxia, Wu Shuang, Wu Huan and others, Zhang Shaohua's image of the rebel faction has become very clear.
But in that turbulent era of reversing black and white, there were too many young people like Zhang Shaohua.
I think it was that movement that made them distorted, almost crazy.
So, did Zhang Shaohua break Xin Fengxia's leg?
On this point, in fact, Wu Zuguang, the husband of Xin Fengxia, had a special explanation in his article as early as before his death.
Later, I saw an article by Wu Zuguang recalling Xin Fengxia, which described the injury to the "meniscus" in Xin Fengxia's left knee.
The text reads: At that time, the theater also knelt in the compound, a 'order', Fengxia was hit hard, she instinctively looked back, but it was a young actor surnamed Liu, because the conditions were not good, usually can not be reused, Fengxia out of kindness had specially found him and himself to co-perform a play "Li Sanniang Carrying Water", asking him to play the main role. When Liu saw her seeing herself, he pulled her out and beat her severely, so his left knee was seriously injured, resulting in permanent left knee to left limb paralysis, and he could not recover for life.
You can really see that the actor written in the text is "he", not "she", and the actor's surname is Liu, not Zhang. It can be seen that the person who caused Xin Fengxia's left knee to left limb paralysis was not Zhang Shaohua.
Therefore, Zhang Shaohua's own defense can also be understood.
But she never apologized for the mistakes she made during the Cultural Revolution.
The whereabouts of Qi Baishi's calligraphy have never been explained. This makes everyone feel bad about her lack of integrity.
What is the most important thing in a person's life? It's just frank and open, no regrets, right?
Now that Zhang Shaohua has gone to Hexi, I don't think she herself thought she would walk so unsteadily, right?
Even if she leaves, she still has to accept the accusations of so many people, I think she is not at peace in the Spirit of Heaven, right?
In fact, people are gone, what kind of grievances, can not go over?
Moreover, Wu Huan said that Xin Fengxia had already forgiven them, so as a bystander, what else could she not put down?
I think Wu Huan has done a good job at this point. Almost immediately, he expressed his point of view: Why can't the world be over?
Wu Huan also hopes that everyone will not mention the past again, leaving a decent face for the deceased.
I also expressed my opinion early on: let the past go with the wind, let the grievances dissipate. Or rather, we only hope that the gray, dark days that will turn people's faces into hideous faces will never return, and only hope that we will live in the sun forever and show a smile.
