man named Yu Hongtu, 46 years old, early is an actor of the Disabled Art Troupe, now is a street performer. Though he is disabled, he still wants to earn money on his own skills. More importantly, he insisted that the distinction between "selling art" and "begging" is clear.
Mini singing 10 o'clock until late 10, fans buy trumpet gifts
"because I just met you, leaving footprints to be beautiful..." On the morning of 4, the bus stop on the north side of Quancheng Square was not far away, and the familiar song rang again. As usual, Yu Hongtu stood in the box next to the speaker in a clean shirt suit, singing with his microphone in the street. Ren Aihua stands beside her husband, holding an umbrella to cover up some poisonous sunshine. The song came to the chorus, and he took the trumpet from his wife and played it with music.
pleasant songs and melodious trumpets echo each other, gradually pedestrians are attracted and stopped to enjoy. When a song was sung, someone took the lead and applauded. He said "thank you" in his big mouth and bowed to his wife's hand.
here is the "stronghold" of the couple's street performances.
in May 2015, because of the poor benefit, two people came to Ji'nan from a disabled Art Troupe in Beijing, "singing on the street, making money." At the 10 o'clock in the morning, the couple sang at the Quancheng Square, and continued to perform until after 10 o'clock at noon.
two years ago, roadside singing Yu Hongtu gradually cultivated his fans. Early this year, he moved the afternoon's performance from the Quancheng Square to the mountain division, with fans to "transfer" with him in order to listen to the song, and the fans saw the trumpet that he had used for more than ten years. "The result is not used for two days, and the mouth is gone. Only the old ones are replaced." Yu Hongtu laughed, and in July he was invited to Jiangsu to take part in the commercial performance. "I have seen my performance before, and feel that I sing well and help to contact."
one month "flash marriage". You are my eye. I'm your leg
when Yu Hongtu sings on the roadside, the "mark" is the wife Ren Aihua. She is accompanied by the grand plan for a day. If it were not a limp figure when walking, you could not imagine that this woman with a smile is already a severe femoral head necrosis.
"don't feel bitter with him." In Ren Aihua's eyes, the fate of her and Yu Hong Tu is natural.
in 2008, Ren Aihua joined the art troupe of Hong Tu, when she was a newcomer, every performance was opened, and Yu Hongtu was a column in the group. The beginning of a beginning and a start of a fate.
"less than a month before he knew him, he suddenly asked me if I wanted to marry him, and only gave me three days to think about it." Ren Aihua recalls that the group did not agree with each other at the time, and felt that he was able to find a better girl in the grand chart, but that he had recognized her, which made her very moved.
"my dad didn't agree at that time, so I made up a lie and told him to drop the account, so that he could send me his account book." Ren Aihua said that, until then the head of the group was not "dead heart", she has been deceived her account book has not been sent to, "old smart, go to the post office to check, the head of the group will be filled out."
in this way, only two people who have known each other for a month have become husband and wife, but now they have been together for nearly ten years. In 10 years, the wife is the husband's eye, the husband is the wife's leg, the two people always follow each other.
heart strong selling is not begging to beg only to work hard to make a little clean money
a plastic barrel in front of the sound box used in Hong Tu's singing, which contains a "performance fee" paid to him by the passers-by, one yuan and two yuan less, more than five yuan and ten yuan, and one day to have a one hundred or two hundred yuan income, "enough for a day," enough We live in two.
in fact, two couples have been saving money for Ren Aihua's treatment. "My eyes are not cured," the doctor said, "my wife can still be treated surgically." In Hong Kong, the wife's daily charge for medicine is more than 70 yuan, and the rent is 1700 yuan per month. In order to save money, two people usually eat some bun, steamed bread, "thick tea is also good".
a roadside show, the couple often meet some people who get dirty, sing a lot of bitter songs, and have a brand of bumpy encounter. At this time, he would feel heartache. He said that street performers are good at eating skills.
someone once saw him working hard on the roadside, trying to give him a trick of making money easily. "Look at my blindness, say let me put open eyes to the fortune telling, this is not a pits?" in Hong Kong said, although the days of the bitter, can have their own good, "the disabled can eat by the ability, we want to make a little clean money."
