I am very excited to meet Yu Xiansheng, who has been waiting for a long time. The old gentleman personally made tea and poured water for us, as if we were distant relatives who had not seen each other for years. After sitting down warmly, Mr. Wang learned something about us simply and peacefully, and everyone chatted all over the place.
Mr. Wang is not only simple and keen, but also talkative. During the conversation, Mr. Wang recalled that he started weightlifting at the age of 65,438+09 and was selected for the national team at the age of 23. He won the championship in an "East Asia Emerging Power Games" held in Asia, and was received by the national leaders at that time. Later, he applied to work in a factory in his hometown until 1983, when he was attracted by the director Chen Min. Lu, who was designated as the hero of Water Margin, embarked on the road of film and television, and later staged many classic roles. . Mr. Wang is involved in entertainment and sports, and his identity is particularly prominent. But in his speech, what we feel more is Mr. Wang's concern for the national sports cause, especially his vow to lift weights for his own life. Mr. Wang doesn't pay much attention to the status and property of actors. He thinks that no matter how much property or status he has, it doesn't mean that he is a good actor. As an amateur actor, I admire my husband for creating such a real and touching classic character as Lu. When it comes to happiness, my husband will laugh heartily, like a Buddha who died in the world, and like an urchin who is rejuvenated. When he looks at you, his eyes reflect indifference, peace and wisdom, as if looking directly into the depths of your soul, which makes people feel some inexplicable emotion inadvertently.
Mr. Wang is also happy to search our previous photo albums. Taking advantage of this gap, I carefully looked at the old man's guest room. On the desk is a photo of Mr. Yu taking part in the Asian Weightlifting Games. One of them is a photo of Mr. Yu and national athletes with the Prime Minister. Seeing that I was looking at this photo, Mr. Wang proudly said, "This is a photo of our participation in the first East Asian Games. This photo is very historic, including all the world champions before 1978. " Mr. Wang also explained that there are actually two photos, and the other one was taken alone with Premier Zhou, but it was not taken for various reasons. At that time, Premier Zhou saw Yu Xiansheng and asked, "Where are you from?" Yu Lao replied: "Qingdao people." The prime minister smiled: Shandong man! "It can be seen that Yu Xiansheng is full of reverence and nostalgia for Premier Zhou.
There is a calligraphy hanging on the other wall, which attracted me deeply. The handwriting is elegant and quite bookish. Yu Lao told me that this was written by Mr. Zhao, the father of hockey in China.
As the conversation progressed, I found Yu Xiansheng very amiable. Although I feel that there are still thousands of words, considering Yu Xiansheng's advanced age, I have to put aside my unfinished words for the time being. When I expressed my wish to close a photo as a souvenir, Yu Xiansheng readily agreed to my request. When taking pictures, Yu Xiansheng was very patient, and specially asked Yu Dage to find a coat in the bedroom and set it cheerfully. This detail moved everyone present. Yu Xiansheng's sincere attitude towards others has brought us closer at once, and the initial embarrassment has long since vanished. Perhaps it is these details that can truly observe a person. In my opinion, both virtue and art are in the teacher's body.
