This woman's name is lin li. When her biological parents met, she recognized them at a glance by intuition.
In a later interview, she said:
"I boldly took a step forward and cried, Dad, Mom!
But I don't know why, tears can't help but blur my vision, and then I can't say anything. "
They cried for an hour or two after meeting.
As Brigitte Lin's sister, lin li's life was bumpy and difficult. Although he found relatives, he only lived on 450 yuan's monthly pension in his later years.
What caused the life gap between two people to be so big in those years?
Looking at my sister as poor as a church mouse, did Brigitte Lin help her?
What's behind this?
It all started with Brigitte Lin's parents.
In 2002, Brigitte Lin's mother committed suicide by jumping off a building in Taipei, and Brigitte Lin was heartbroken for her tragic fate.
The only thing the old man cared about before his death was his eldest daughter lin li, who was far away in Xuchang, Henan.
At that time, they gave birth to their daughter lin li in Qingdao, and her husband Lin Weiliang was a military doctor.
However, when Lilin was three months old, Lin Weiliang and his wife needed to follow the army to Taiwan Province Province.
Even if they don't have the heart, they can't cross the ocean with a baby. On second thought, they sent lin li to her grandparents' home in Shandong to take care of her.
I originally planned to come back three months later, but no one expected that this trip would be 39 years.
He and his wife gave birth to three more children in Taiwan Province, namely son Lin Chengsen, second daughter and youngest daughter Lin.
After leaving the army, they opened their own clinic in Taiwan Province province.
The so-called doctor is kind-hearted and can't bear to make money from patients, so he started other businesses and later ran clothing factories, restaurants and hotels.
So the quality of life in their family was not bad at that time.
However, due to the turbulent situation, the two sides of the Taiwan Strait have not yet opened up exchanges, and their idea of going back to their hometown to pick up their daughters can only be abandoned.
But at this time, life in lin li, which is far away from Shandong, is not easy.
Grandparents are old and have lost their ability to work, so they can't take care of their children wholeheartedly. A few years later, the old couple died.
My uncle and aunt couldn't bear to see their children alone, so they took lin li to live together.
In order not to let the children feel different from others, my uncle and aunt didn't tell her about life, and regarded her as their own daughter, thinking about waiting until the children were older.
Although life is hard, we even had dinner together, but fortunately, the family loves each other and lives alone.
Later, in the early 1960s, it coincided with the impact of the big environment, and the people were very hard.
In order to support the family, my uncle moved to Heilongjiang with them and lost contact with my brother in Taiwan Province Province.
When lin li was 2 1 year old, she went to the countryside like many young people.
Returning to the city two years later, lin li became a substitute teacher in primary school.
At this time, she was 23 years old, and she was old enough to talk about marriage.
According to reports, she met her future husband Qian.
Qian graduated from the Central Academy of Drama and was later assigned to work in Xuchang Repertory Theatre in Henan.
Such conditions can be said to be excellent at that time.
So they got along and fell in love soon.
One day in June 2020 165438+ 10, Brigitte Lin once took an old photo of himself when he was young in Weibo.
In the photo, she is full of heroic spirit and excellent temperament, which has attracted the pursuit of many netizens.
No matter in the past or now, Brigitte Lin is firmly seated on the altar, with good looks and gentle and affectionate eyebrows, which is an insurmountable existence in the entertainment circle.
She was 17 years old when the photo was taken. At that time, she had already started filming, and her eyes were pure and flawless.
I wouldn't have such clear eyes if I hadn't been tired of life since I was a child.
The following year, Brigitte Lin, aged 18, was given a business card by a talent scout while shopping in Ximending, which changed his life.
Especially in the 1970s, Brigitte Lin and Qiong Yao cooperated in a series of TV dramas, which were a big hit at that time.
Among them, the film "Clouds Fluttering" also broke the box office record at that time, and won the best actress in the Asia-Pacific Film Festival at the age of 2 1.
But when she was most carefree, it was her sister's most difficult time.
My boyfriend, Qian, went to Xuchang to work in the countryside because of some reasons.
The family advised lin li to break up with him and stop the loss in time.
But she didn't want to give up, and tried to persuade her uncle and aunt, and she didn't break contact with her boyfriend during the period.
Half a year later, lin li came to Xuchang, Henan alone, and went to his own love.
Two young people had no money and few relatives and friends, so they got married in a humble thatched shed.
But in any case, lin li's future life is still happy.
The two also gave birth to three sons, and the family of five was happy.
But at the same time, Taiwan Province parents Lin Weiliang and his wife never gave up their desire to find their eldest daughter.
1982, Brigitte Lin, who is already a star, inquired about her sister's whereabouts many times during filming in Shandong province in order to fulfill her parents' wishes.
But decades have passed, in that era of underdeveloped information, looking for someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and in the end it is all in vain.
Brigitte Lin didn't want to give up. Later, he repeatedly asked people to look for him in Shandong, Northeast China and Henan.
When my youngest daughter Lin was in San Francisco, she also sent a weekly newspaper Ming Pao to her parents.
There is an article called Deep Visit to Sister Brigitte Lin, and she also wants to help find her sister.
But life is so dramatic that they have never heard from them.
It was not until 1980s that Taiwan Province finally realized the "three links" with the mainland, that is, postal services, trade and navigation.
Lin Weiliang and his wife finally got in touch with their younger brother. This year, lin li was 35 years old.
My uncle and aunt also thought it was time to tell her the truth. They received a letter from lin li.
"In fact, we are not your biological parents. We are your uncles and aunts. Your parents are abroad. We lost contact because of the current turmoil, but now there is news! "
From the moment lin li knew about it, she couldn't believe it for a long time.
Finally, at 1984, the old couple set out to see their daughter lin li, who had been thinking about it for decades.
Knowing that she was married, they brought many household appliances such as color TV, refrigerator and microwave oven as a supplementary dowry.
Along the way, Lin Weiliang and his wife were more upset than excited.
"We left her when she was very young. Not only have we never raised her, but we have never met or spoken by phone. Will our daughter blame us? "
Lin li thought for a long time. If she were still a little girl in her twenties, she would probably be resentful.
But now that she is a mother of three children, she understands what her parents did.
However, I can't forget the kindness of my uncles and aunts. They are old and have an obligation to stay and take care of them.
If parents are willing to come to their side for retirement, they will take care of them without complaint.
With this in mind, lin li embarked on a train to Shanghai.
Just as primary school students look forward to a spring outing, I look forward to meeting my parents for the first time.
I don't know why, although I haven't seen each other for forty years, I actually recognized each other at a glance.
The family cried at the airport, and their feelings for many years were vented at this moment. It was not until an hour or two later that they cared about other people's eyes.
Lin li looked around for a week, but couldn't find her sister Brigitte Lin.
Lin Weiliang told her that it wasn't that Xia Qing didn't want to come, but that her influence was too great. Xia Qing contributed a lot to their meeting.
She also specially asked her parents to bring her sister a high-end camera as a gift, and they will arrange for their sisters to meet in the future!
After this meeting, lin li and Brigitte Lin began to correspond.
Every time they stick their photos to their hearts, lin li looks at the signed photos of big stars and never wants to believe them.
In addition, in order to express his thoughts on his sister, Brigitte Lin would write a "note" at the end of each letter.
The last formal meeting between the two sisters was 1990.
When Brigitte Lin went to Changchun for filming, lin li and her husband purposely dropped everything and came here.
At this time, lin li was 42 years old and Brigitte Lin was 36 years old.
The couple stayed in Changchun for about a week, and their lives were arranged by Brigitte Lin.
Although the two sisters have never met each other since childhood, they have a good relationship.
Lin li often goes to the set to see her sister filming, and Brigitte Lin often holds her hand and is unwilling to let go.
After filming, Brigitte Lin took her boyfriend Qin Han and her sister and brother-in-law around, and they went shopping and took photos together.
The time spent by the two sisters together is the most precious and happiest week in lin li.
However, no matter how close the distance is, the living environment of two people from small to large is different.
One is a big star with plenty of food and clothing, and the other is just a retired female teacher in rural Henan.
Life in lin li can even be described as poverty. Why hasn't lin li's life changed since they met?
In fact, it's not that Brigitte Lin didn't help, but that lin li didn't want to accept it!
Brigitte Lin once asked her sister, "If your family wants to live in Hongkong, Taiwan Province Province or the United States, I can help you with the formalities."
But when she thought of her uncle and aunt in the country, she declined.
Later, Brigitte Lin often asked her sister if she had any difficulties, and lin li replied that everything was fine.
But Brigitte Lin is still afraid of her sister's heavy financial burden and often sends her money.
Ma, the old mother, also felt uneasy about her eldest daughter after returning to Taiwan. She wanted to give her some money more than once, hoping to improve her life.
However, this was rejected by lin li, who was unwilling to accept other people's gifts. There is nothing wrong with contentment.
She was busy all her life and suddenly took a sum of money for nothing. She really feels guilty and will be gossiped by her neighbors.
It is better to talk about feelings than money.
Therefore, after being laid off, lin li only holds 450 yuan's pension every month, and can also do some small business with her husband in Xuchang, which is also considered leisure.
Seeing that the eldest daughter is so pitiful, the horse as a mother is very distressed. She always wanted to go back to Henan in her later years.
However, due to various practical reasons and the concerns of the other three children, she failed to do so for a long time.
Over time, she suffered from heart disease and depression in her later years.
Whenever her illness breaks out, she cries, loses sleep, doesn't eat or drink, hoping someone will send her to lin li.
Such a situation, the family really can not help worrying, if it is really as she wishes, wouldn't it be a burden for Lilin, who has three children?
Until 65438, in the early morning of February 4, 2002, the 7 1 year-old horse couldn't stand the pain of lovesickness and jumped from the sixth floor of his home.
After learning the news, due to complicated procedures, lin li arrived in Taipei and was buried.
She can't afford to kneel at her mother's tombstone, and her fertility is greater than the sky. She felt that she had not been filial, and she blamed herself.
After handling, she lived with her father in Taipei for more than half a month before returning to Xuchang, Henan.
Four years later, my father Lin Weiliang also went with him.
After the death of the old man, the gap between sisters became wider and wider.
Fortunately, lin li's three children were successful, and Brigitte Lin began to enjoy life after bidding farewell to the film industry. They are all wonderful in the parallel lines of their respective lives.
For Lilin, she has courage and spirit that we ordinary people don't have.
She is willing to stay in the dust, you say, if it is you, can you do this?
