Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

Yu Dongqing stayed at Feng Pei's house for three full days, and on the fourth day he hit the road and continued westward.

Before leaving, Feng Pei's mother picked a bag of fresh dates for Yu Dongqing for him and Tongtong to eat on the road, which made him very embarrassed.

"Feng Pei, look at me eating your food and living in yours these days, and I need to get some before I leave. You must come to Yanjing to play, and bring your sister-in-law and Xiaoxuan with you!" Yu Dongqing said to Feng Pei who was sending him off. said.

"Don't worry, I will definitely go there when I have time to see you old classmates and our alma mater." Feng Pei said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, I'll wait. Goodbye!" Yu Dongqing got into the cab after saying that.

"Goodbye uncle, goodbye sister Xiaoxuan!" Yu Tongtong also got into the passenger seat.

Yu Dongqing drove slowly onto the highway, turned onto the county road according to the route Feng Pei said, and turned on the GPS navigation to head west.

According to the original plan, he was going to Qinghai Lake, but now he turned to Qinbei, so he planned to go west into Ning Province to reach Yinchuan, play in Yinchuan, and then go straight south to Xining and then to Qinghai Lake.

When he arrived in Yinchuan, he planned to visit Zhenbeibao Western Cinema.

Zhenbeibao Western Cinema is characterized by its simplicity, primitiveness, roughness, desolation and folk culture. Its main attractions are composed of redundant film and television shooting landscapes such as Mingcheng, Qingcheng, and Old Yinchuan Street.

Yu Dongqing and her daughter roamed slowly through the film and television city. Ming City and Qing City each have their own characteristics. Yu Dongqing deliberately stood at the gate of the city tower in Qing City, looking at the city gate in silence.

This is the place where Zixia said: "This man looks more like a dog" in "Journey to the West".

It's a pity that there is no "Westward Journey" in this time and space.

Without "Westward Journey", Yu Dongqing always felt that something was missing.

After walking around the film and television city for a long time, Yu Dongqing met several of his fans and was invited to take photos with them. Yu Dongqing was satisfied with them all.

To be honest, as long as the fans' demands are not excessive, he can basically agree to it. Anyway, he doesn't hold any fan support meetings, and he doesn't have many crazy fans.

Yu Dongqing had just taken a group photo with two enthusiastic fans, who seemed to be a couple, and was about to leave with her daughter. However, she saw a middle-aged man with an unshaven beard in his forties walking over and asked politely:

"Are you Mr. Yu Dongqing? My daughter is a fan of yours and likes to listen to your songs very much. Can you take a photo with her?" After speaking, the man pointed to a girl not far away.

Looking in the direction he pointed, Yu Dongqing saw a mother and daughter standing under the eaves. The girl was thinner and looked about fourteen or fifteen years old.

"Okay." Yu Dongqing agreed.

"Leilei, come here!" The man waved to the girl.

The girl named Leilei didn't seem to want to come over yet. Her mother standing next to her said something to her, and finally the girl slowly came over.

The girl was very fair and looked a little melancholy and shy. Seeing Yu Dongqing, she was a little at a loss and was at the mercy of his father with the camera.

Yu Dongqing felt that the girl seemed a little nervous, so she smiled and said, don't be nervous, your father and I seem to be of the same age, and I am your uncle.

The girl slowly smiled.

The man holding the camera quickly pressed the shutter button and captured the scene.

After taking the photo, the girl was about to leave but was stopped by her father: "Leilei, don't you want to take a photo with Uncle Yu? Come on, take a few more photos."

Yu Dongqing was slightly surprised.

To be honest, few parents take the initiative to take their daughters to take photos with their favorite idols, but this girl’s father did so, and the girl’s mother standing next to her also encouraged her.

Yu Dongqing didn't think much, took a few more photos with the girl, and then left. The girl's parents expressed their gratitude.

"Mr. Yu, are you traveling with your daughter?" the middle-aged man asked enthusiastically.

Yu Dongqing nodded.

"Where are you going?"

Yu Dongqing felt a little bored by the other party's inquiring, so she said "Qinghai" and pulled Yu Tongtong away.

"thank you"

The man shouted loudly from behind.

Yu Dongqing didn't pay much attention to it, and took her daughter to wander around the film and television city again. After visiting the Ming and Qing cities, they went to visit the old Yinchuan street, and tasted the Yinchuan specialty snack Yan Noodles. It was already afternoon. I just took my daughter back to the hotel.

As soon as I walked out of Yinchuan Old Street, I ran into the father of the little girl who had just taken a photo with me.

"Mr. Yu, I'm finally looking for you." The middle-aged man's face was covered with sweat. It looked like he had walked a long way.

"Want to take pictures with your daughter again?" Yu Dongqing replied with a slight frown.

"No, no. Mr. Yu, you just said you were going to Qinghai to visit. Can we go together?" the middle-aged man said.

"That's not necessary, right? It's a high-speed road from Yinchuan to Qinghai, and it's not like we need a companion to go to Tibet." Yu Dongqing declined politely.

"That's right, Mr. Yu." The man said hurriedly: "My daughter is a fan of yours. She was very happy when she saw the photo with you just now."

To be happy, you have to go all the way?

It wouldn't be strange if a girl had such thoughts, but you, a father, are so enthusiastic?

The man sighed and explained the reason.

The man's name is Zhang Shuchun, from Dongsheng, Inner Mongolia. The couple are ordinary workers in a factory. Their daughter is named Zhang Leilei, who is in the second grade of junior high school this year.

Zhang Leilei used to love talking and laughing, but she suddenly became taciturn when she entered junior high school, and her grades also dropped. Zhang Shuchun and his wife felt baffled, but they couldn't find the reason.

Zhang Shuchun had a bad temper and thought it was because his daughter didn't study hard or fell in love prematurely. Once, he scolded his daughter when she got bad grades in an exam.

When the couple came back from get off work in the afternoon, they found that their daughter had not gone to school, stayed at home, and committed suicide by slitting her wrists!

"I was scared at the time. There was a pool of blood on the ground. I quickly called 120 and sent my daughter to the hospital to rescue her. Later, the doctor recommended that we see a psychological outpatient department. Only then did I know that my daughter was suffering from depression." Zhang Shuchun said.

"Later, the doctor provided psychological treatment and then took medicine. My daughter's mental state also went up and down. Although she did not self-mutilate anymore, she was always depressed. Sometimes she would not go to school and would just stay in her room. Play on your phone and listen to music.”

"Isn't it summer vacation now? The doctor suggested that I take my daughter for a walk, so my wife and I drove from Dongsheng to Yinchuan. Originally we wanted to go to Xinjiang, but we just heard you said we were going to Qinghai, so we are going to change I want to go with you."

"Because..." Zhang Shuchun paused and said, "Because my daughter smiled when she saw the photo with you just now. I haven't seen my daughter smile like this in a long time."

Zhang Shuchun said, with a hint of pain on his face.

"Dad, Dad, let that little sister go with us." Yu Tongtong, who was standing aside and had been silent just now, pulled Yu Dongqing's hand: "The little sister is so pitiful."

"Mr. Yu, please believe me, this is my ID card." The man quickly took out his ID card from his pocket and handed it to Yu Dongqing.

He looked at it and found that the information was indeed the same as what the man said. This man was still a Mongolian.

"Okay, we will leave Yinchuan for Qinghai tomorrow morning." Yu Dongqing briefly explained his itinerary.

"Okay, okay, which hotel are you staying in? We'll be here early tomorrow morning."

"Sheraton Hotel."

"Okay, thank you, see you tomorrow morning." The two left their contact information again, and Zhang Shuchun left in a hurry.

I didn’t expect that I would have company on the journey.

Yu Dongqing couldn't help but shake her head as she thought about it.
