I remember when I was young, watching the Spring Festival Gala every year, the must-see program was Zhao Benshan’s skit. The whole family burst into laughter. This was one of the sources of happiness during the Spring Festival in our family.

In 1957, the "King of Sketch" Zhao Benshan was born in a poor family and lived a very poor life.

To make matters worse, when he was 5 years old, bad luck struck and his mother died of illness.

Under pressure, his father abandoned Zhao Benshan and went away to a foreign country without any news. Zhao Benshan was left alone and became an orphan.

When he was most helpless, his second uncle Zhao Mingde reached out to him.

My second uncle, Zhao Mingde, is blind. You can imagine how difficult it would be to help him.

But no matter how hard it was, Zhao Mingde would never leave him. There was a time when Zhao Benshan and his second uncle often went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables to fill their stomachs. Sometimes they went to the stream to catch frogs and burn them on the fire to eat. However, they often stayed hungry overnight.

Such a poor life has been with him throughout his childhood.

What I didn’t expect was that although my second uncle couldn’t see, he was an old folk artist. He could play the erhu, the suona, and sing duo...

He taught all these skills. I gave it to Zhao Benshan, and Zhao Benshan also studied it very seriously, because this is a way out.

As a teenager, Zhao Benshan had already mastered these skills. This is also the basis of his fame.

It can be said that the second uncle is not only the benefactor who raised him, but also the noble person behind his fame.

The childhood with his second uncle was bitter, but it was also the wealth of his life.

When Zhao Benshan was 17 years old, he joined the village art propaganda team based on the skills he learned from his second uncle.

At the age of 25, he played the blind man Zhang Zhi in the drama "Three Strings" and became famous in one fell swoop. From then on, it went smoothly and he became more and more famous.

Zhao Benshan said: "I can act like a blind man because I have lived with my second uncle for a long time."

It can be said that his second uncle contributed a lot to his famous works.

In 1988, 30-year-old Zhao Benshan stepped onto the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. Since then, Zhao Benshan's sketches have accompanied us through more than 20 Spring Festivals, until he announced his retirement in 2011.

Zhao Benshan became a well-known celebrity and gained both fame and fortune. Perhaps when he was a child, he never thought that he would be so successful. It was his second uncle who sown the seeds of hope in his heart.

After Zhao Benshan became famous, what happened to his second uncle?

After getting rich, the first thing he thought of was his second uncle.

The second uncle is getting older. In order to give him the best care and let him enjoy his old age, Zhao Benshan found a nursing home for his second uncle.

Give him enough living expenses every month, and often take his family to visit his second uncle.

This is just an improvement in life, Zhao Benshan still remembers his second uncle's wish.

The blind second uncle has a special skill, and he has a wish to perform on stage.

In order to help his second uncle realize his dream, Zhao Benshan led his second uncle to the stage of the "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" program during the Lantern Festival in his hometown.

Zhao Benshan kept holding his second uncle's hand tightly and looked at him with gentle eyes.

On the stage, Zhao Benshan and his second uncle played the erhu together. The second uncle on the stage laughed from the bottom of his heart.

This scene is very touching. The success of Zhao Benshan, who knows how to repay his kindness, is inseparable from his character.

Off-topic: Recently, Yao Ce and his wife, who were involved in the "28-year mistake in life", were in the limelight and were scolded miserably.

We can’t tell who is right or wrong in this, after all, we are not the parties involved. But one thing is certain: if the couple is grateful to their adoptive mother and knows how to repay their kindness. Remember the 28 years of kindness more and pay less attention to some dissatisfaction and bad words. Will they still be scolded?

A drop of kindness is repaid by a spring. Please remember to repay the person who helped you.
