Filial son Guo Donglin, that year my father did the most humiliating thing in his life for me. What was it?

Guo Donglin should be regarded as a frequent visitor to the Spring Festival Gala. Back then, the phrase "If you have anything to say, please speak" became popular all over the country.

Guo Donglin is always cheerful in his sketch performances and is our recognized comedian.

But what you don’t know is that there was untold sadness in his childhood.

Dutiful son Guo Donglin: That year, my father did the most humiliating thing in his life for me.

01

Guo Donglin was born in an ordinary family. In addition to him, there are two other brothers in the family.

Originally, the family lived a subsistence life, but due to an accident, the family was completely destroyed.

Guo Donglin’s uncle went to Taiwan and ran into some things, so Guo Donglin’s parents were also implicated.

My father was fired, my mother was sent down the government, and the family had no source of income.

The daily meal for a family of five is black-noodle steamed buns and Mi Shao’s pitiful rice soup.

As the saying goes, "When the house leaks, it rains all night long." Guo Donglin and his two brothers are both in the stage of growing up, and they don't have enough to eat at all.

The father couldn't bear to see his sons starving, so he went to do hard work in a cannery, and was the last to get off work every time.

After returning home, my father was so tired that he had no strength to speak, and his feet were swollen.

Guo Donglin saw these and felt pain in his heart.

02

One day, their father brought them a set of sugar candies after get off work. At that time, several children's eyes lit up when they saw these things. Divided and licked clean by them.

When the father saw this situation, he felt that the children were suffering along with him, and said sadly: "You guys wait at home, I will pick it up tomorrow."

The next night , Guo Donglin and his mother were worried when they didn't see their father come back, so they went out to look for his father.

When I came to my father’s place of work, I saw my father talking to others from a distance, with his back hunched in a pleading posture, which was very humble.

After approaching, Guo Donglin heard their conversation.

"Steal our candy, don't come here to work tomorrow." "I have 5 mouths to eat at home, please give me a chance? That set of sleeve sugar, you can use it from my salary Buckle, okay?

It turns out that the sweet candy last night was stolen by my father. It was so sweet that he has never forgotten the taste in his life.

Of course, the other party ignored his father and pushed him angrily. His father couldn't stand still because of hunger, so he took a few steps back and almost fell.

At that moment, Guo Donglin seemed to see something on his father's shoulder. It was a heavy burden that almost crushed my father.

The unemployed father had to find another way out. Pulling trucks for others to deliver goods. The young Guo Donglin also wanted to help his father, so after persuading his father for a long time, his father finally agreed to take him to work for a day. By three o'clock in the afternoon, Guo Donglin, who had not eaten yet, finally couldn't hold on anymore and said to his father: "Dad, I'm so hungry." "

When his father heard this, he immediately parked the car on the side of the road and took out a piece of cold cake.

He said to Guo Donglin: "Third son, help dad look after the car. I went to the restaurant and asked for a bowl of hot soup, and we made pancakes to eat. ”

However, in that era, everyone’s life was not rich, and beggars starved to death on the street every day. When the boss saw his father coming in, he kicked him out without saying a word.

In desperation, his father asked Guo Donglin to tell his boss that because he was a child, the boss might be sympathetic.

Guo Donglin timidly asked the boss: "Auntie, give me a bowl of soup. Drink. ”

But no, he was kicked out like his father.

The father and son had no choice but to wait at the door, waiting for others to leave some soup for them to eat.< /p>

When a group of people left the restaurant, my father saw that someone had left some hot soup and was going to make pancakes to eat.

But at this time, a middle-aged woman came over. , looked at them disdainfully, and spat into the soup.

Guo Donglin was shocked at the time. He didn’t understand why this woman did this. Why couldn’t she give them the bowl of soup?

This was the first time that he felt the heat and coolness of the situation at a young age.

The father didn't say anything, and the two of them returned to the car and ate the cold pancake with the bowl of soup. As they ate, the father and son burst into tears.

This was the first time that his father cried in front of him. The humiliation and bitterness he suffered burst out together, becoming the most unforgettable thing in his life.

Life did not intend to let the family go. Unfortunately, his father broke his leg while pulling a cart, and the pillars of the family suddenly collapsed.

My mother shouldered the burden of taking care of the whole family.

My mother and Guo Donglin planned to go to Jinan to sing. Because they had no money and could not afford a car, they had to take a coal truck for pulling goods.

It was winter at that time, and the mother and son could not afford thick clothes, so they shivered in the cold wind. The snowflakes along the way were scraping on their faces like razor blades.

The mother had no choice but to put him in a pit inside the coal pile, and she shielded him from the cold wind outside.

The two arrived in Jinan. Due to exhaustion of physical strength, the mother only sang for two hours before she could no longer sing, so she had no choice but to end it early.

The spectators did not enjoy what they heard, and few gave her money. Instead, they all used words like "It's boring" and "It's gone".

That year, Guo Donglin was only nine years old.

A nine-year-old child, others are acting coquettishly in the arms of their parents and are busy buying new clothes to wear.

Guo Donglin has experienced the warmth and coldness of the world, and knows the harshness of the world.

However, the family survived those difficult years, and the father and mother returned to work.

The family's life gradually improved, but misfortune befell the family again.

In 1986, my father filmed a TV series, which was seen by my brother in Taiwan. The brothers who had been missing for many years finally got in touch again.

The two chose to meet in Hong Kong. As soon as they met, they burst into tears, telling each other about the hardships they had suffered over the years and how much they missed their families.

When my father got on the return plane, he also brought a gift from his brother to his wife and son. However, as soon as he got off the plane, his father died of cerebral hemorrhage due to ineffective rescue efforts. He was only 54 years old.

Guo Donglin couldn't recover from this bad news for a long time. He finally understood what it means to "take care of a son who wants to support him but refuses to be kissed".

My father has suffered too much over the years, but he passed away before I could honor him.

Guo Donglin can no longer forget the bowl of soup and the half piece of cold cake.

Summary

He has also become a comedian of his generation, and the sad past of that year is also buried deep in his heart.

Everyone has difficulties. Guo Donglin’s honest smile on the stage makes it hard to imagine that he still has such a difficult time.
