The young man’s name is Li Yucheng, and the old lady’s name is Ma Yuqin. They are the protagonists of this story. There was a 35-year age difference between these two people, but they had a love affair that shocked the world.

As the saying goes: "A female junior holds a gold brick," which means that if a woman is 3 years older than a man, the stability of their marriage will be higher, and the happiness index of the "sibling relationship" will also be higher. However, there is also a saying that jokingly states that "a woman who is older than 30 will be given away her country". So, did the "young and old couple" in the story give away their country?

Next, let’s listen to the details!

Ma Yuqin is a duo actor and a household name in the local area. Every time someone in the village gets married or has a business, or gives birth to a fat boy, or the child wins the gold medal, Ma Yuqin will be invited to perform a duet.

Ma Yuqin not only performs superbly, but is also enthusiastic and cheerful. She is also very good-looking and has a particularly good reputation at the beginning and end of the village. No matter where we set up the stage, the audience is always crowded with villagers and elders, applauding and cheering constantly.

On this day, Liu Degui’s family in the village married their daughter-in-law. Early in the morning, red double happiness was hung on the eaves of the porch, and long firecrackers were pulled from the house to the entrance of the township government. They crackled non-stop. The villagers in the alley poked their heads and looked around, laughing so hard that they all lost their eyes.

Liu Degui was so happy that he specially invited Ma Yuqin to add interest to everyone, and spent a lot of money to let her perform 4 big scenes in a row, all of which were hard scenes, which tested their endurance and professionalism. Ma Yuqin brought in two large boxes of costumes and props and put in a lot of effort.

Amid bursts of warm applause, Ma Yuqin appeared on the stage, singing a piece of "Hu Yuniang" that was gentle and sad, affectionate and righteous, and won a lot of applause. In the audience, the little boy Li Yucheng stared at Ma Yuqin with his eyes wide open, and secretly vowed to learn Errenzhuan from his teacher.

At that time, Ma Yuqin and her husband ran a small theater for two people. Thanks to the care of the villagers, the business was not bad. Ma Yuqin is a famous actor in Errenzhuan and has many disciples under her. Later, when her husband died young, Ma Yuqin took on all the work of the small theater by herself.

At the age of 22, Li Yucheng found Ma Yuqin and studied Errenzhuan under his tutelage. He also became Ma Yuqin’s last closed disciple. For so many years, Ma Yuqin was devoted to Er Er Zhuan and did not remarry after her husband passed away.

In Li Yucheng's heart, Ma Yuqin is the art master he has liked since childhood, and she is also an admirable woman. When he was studying under his master, Li Yucheng respected Ma Yuqin very much.

Looking at a lonely woman struggling to hold up a theater, she has to work hard on both big and small things. In addition to studying, the young and strong Li Yucheng also helped Ma Yuqin with a lot of theater work. Over time, he became Ma Yuqin's most trusted person.

When he was 25 years old, his family arranged for a wife for Li Yucheng and introduced him to many young girls, all of whom were innocent girls who knew everything about him. However, Li Yucheng refused. The parents were anxious, and they were so anxious that they wiped away tears when they saw that their son was too young to be a hot bed.

Actually, it’s not that Li Yucheng has high requirements for choosing a mate, but that he already has someone in mind, and that person is Ma Yuqin. After three years of getting along day and night, Li Yucheng and Ma Yuqin gradually developed a different feeling between master and disciple. However, both of them kept it in their hearts and neither of them tried to prick the window paper.

One day, Li Yucheng mustered up the courage to confess to Ma Yuqin: "Yuqin, you should understand my thoughts after so many years. I just want to take good care of you for the rest of my life." When he lived to the age of 60, Facing Li Yucheng's hot words of love, Ma Yuqin thought she would be calm, but she couldn't withstand the turbulence in her heart.

Ma Yuqin liked Li Yucheng, but she couldn't agree. In the 1990s, this was an unusual love, a relationship that would be drowned in the spit of the world.

Gradually, many unpleasant sounds came from the village. Ma Yuqin became the target of public criticism, and was pointed at her nose and scolded as "shameless". She, who was once so famous, suddenly turned into a street rat that everyone yelled at and beat, with nowhere to hide.

Ma Yuqin endured all this silently. She was willing to withstand all the curses for Li Yucheng and did not want him to be harmed in any way. On the other side, Li Yucheng confessed his feelings for Ma Yuqin to his parents and hoped to marry her.

After hearing what their son said, the parents were heartbroken and regretted sending their son to study art. Father Boyan was furious and asked his son to stop this idea immediately, otherwise the relationship between father and son would be severed.

In order to let Li Yucheng let go of herself, Ma Yuqin sold her small theater and quietly left the village alone with all her belongings on her back. Six months later, Li Cheng finally found Ma Yuqin, and this time he stole the family's household registration book.

Reunited after a long absence, the two no longer controlled their feelings and hugged each other tightly, tears streaming down their faces. Later, the two got married.

After marriage, Ma Yuqin wanted to look younger and worthy of her husband. She spent hundreds of thousands on plastic surgery. After the operation, the wrinkles on her face were indeed reduced a lot, and with the nourishment of love, Ma Yuqin looked radiant.

However, after only a few years of youth, Ma Yuqin’s skin began to rebound, and the sagging became more serious than before the surgery. However, Li Yucheng did not dislike his wife at all. He took good care of her and loved her very much.

Now, 20 years later, 45-year-old Li Yucheng and 80-year-old Ma Yuqin are still very much in love and live a very happy life.

Occasionally, when they have free time, the two will hold hands and perform a duet together on stage.
