Ni Ping's generosity and ability have won the favor of the Chen family, and everyone says that Chen Kaige is blessed to be able to marry Ni Ping.

In 1995, when Chen Hong went to the crew to audition, she met Chen Kaige. Chen Hong was born in Shangrao, Jiangxi in 1978, a full 16 years younger than Chen Kaige.

Chen Hong's beauty and youth attracted Chen Kaige, and the two established a relationship without Ni Ping.

In 1996, Chen Kaige proposed to Ni Ping to break up, saying that Chen Hong was pregnant and that he was responsible for her. Ni Ping was deeply humiliated and hurt: he had paid so much for Chen Kaige, shouldn't he be responsible for himself?

Chen Kaige and Chen Hong

Ni Ping is the host of all the attention, is the goddess in the minds of many people, but love has been lost to an unknown little girl, Ni Ping's heart gushes with all kinds of tastes.

She did not retain, did not plead, and tearfully cut off the love thread with Chen Kaige.

Subsequently, Chen Kaige and Chen Hong registered their marriage in the United States, and Ni Ping struggled with the pain of lost love. At the time when Ni Ping was at its lowest, Wang Wenlan appeared.

At this time, Ni Ping was 37 years old, and she felt that she should get married at this age. Wang Wenlan is tall, restrained and elegant, and very talented, and is an excellent man.

When we first met, Wang Wenlan said to Ni Ping: If you don't abandon me, we will live together in the future, and I will be responsible for you.

After speaking, Wang Wenlan smiled shyly. Ni Ping feels that the man in his 40s is still a little shy, indicating that he is not a veteran of the wind and moon field, and his heart is very innocent.

Under wang Wenlan's pursuit, Ni Ping accepted his feelings.

Ni Ping's mother and brother did not approve of Ni Ping being with Wang Wenlan. Although Wang Wenlan has an influence in the photography industry, compared with Ni Ping, neither popularity nor income is on one level.

In order to win the approval of Ni Ping and her family, Wang Wenlan took out all his savings, bought a piece of land in Tongzhou District, and then built a courtyard.

At that time, Tongzhou was a far suburb, and the land was quite cheap, and later it was multiplied dozens of times. This is also an indirect credit to Ni Ping and her family.

Wang Wenlan and Ni Ping

In 1997, Ni Ping and Wang Wenlan married in Beijing. Ni Ping and her grandmother have a deep affection, because the courtyard is spacious, and after marriage, Ni Ping will take her grandmother to Beijing to live together.

In 1998, Wang Wenlan and Ni Ping's son was born. This year is the Year of the Tiger, and Wang Wenlan gave his son the nickname "Tiger".

At the age of 45, Wang Wenlan was immersed in happiness and excitement. However, this happiness of a new father lasted only a short period of more than a month.

Because tigers suffer from congenital eye diseases, a mulching film often appears on the outside of the eyeball that obscures the line of sight.

When Wang Wenlan and Ni Ping took their son to the hospital for diagnosis, the doctor solemnly said: If The tiger's eye disease is not cured, he will be completely blind before the age of 5, and even his life will be in danger.

Ni Ping and baby

The doctor's words pushed Wang Wenlan and Ni Ping into the abyss of pain. Wang Wenlan did not understand that he and his wife were very healthy, they had also been examined during pregnancy, and neither side had organic diseases, so how could his son suffer from congenital eye diseases?

The doctor can not determine the cause of the child's disease, analysis: you are older, pregnant at an advanced age, the baby is prone to various defects.

Walking out of the hospital, Ni Ping, who has always been strong, burst into tears. When this happened to his son, Wang Wenlan and his wife both felt pain and self-blame in their hearts, but the two did not complain to each other and decided to work together to treat their son's eye disease.

In the following years, Wang Wenlan and Ni Ping took their son around to seek medical treatment. Every time he walked in the long corridor of the hospital with his son in his arms, smelled the pungent smell of soda, and looked at the innocent face of the tiger, Wang Wenlan would shed tears of heartache.

The son is like a pure angel, not polluted by the world, and before he can enjoy the joys of the world, he often goes in and out of the hospital. When he is embarrassed, Wang Wenlan's emotions will collapse.

Ni Ping

Often Ni Ping would comfort her husband at this time.

In order to cure Huzi's eye disease, Wang Wenlan and Ni Ping spent all their family's savings and borrowed a sum of money from relatives and friends. My son's eye disease is a bottomless pit, and he doesn't know how much money to put into it, and he can't see any hope of healing.

Under great pressure, Wang Wenlan and Ni Ping were in a bad mood. Sometimes when I come back from the hospital with my son, my mood will be worse. At this time, the feelings of husband and wife are the most fragile, a word, a small thing will make the two stumble.

Wang Wenlan is a very emotional and delicate person, and he usually cries when he listens to music. Now that there was such a big thing in the family, his mood had become gloomy.

In 2004, Ni Ping wanted to take her son to the United States to treat eye diseases. Because the family could not come up with money, she and Wang Wenlan had a disagreement when it came to raising funds.

Ni Ping and her son

Ni Ping wants to sell the house, but Wang Wenlan does not agree, he wants to keep a property for his son; and even if he sells the house, The tiger's eye disease may not be cured. The couple can't think of a piece, and the rift in their feelings is getting bigger and bigger.

In 2005, Wang Wenlan and Ni Ping divorced peacefully and amicably, and Huzi lived with Ni Ping.

After the divorce, Ni Ping took her son to the United States to treat eye diseases. Because Ni Ping wanted to return to China to film and earn money to treat her son, she asked her mother, who had never been abroad, to go to the United States to take care of her son.

After the news of Ni Ping's divorce and sending her son to the United States to treat eye disease spread, many netizens accused Wang Wenlan of being cold, lacking responsibility, and not being a qualified father.

In fact, such accusations are biased against Wang Wenlan, who loves his son and wants to completely cure his son's eye disease. Wang Wenlan once hated why he was not a big money, so that he could send his son abroad to treat eye diseases.

Ni Ping's mother and son

Therefore, remarriage has never been on Wang Wenlan's agenda. With the efforts of Ni Ping and Wang Wenlan, Huzi's congenital eye disease was completely cured in 2014.

The outside of his eyeball no longer produces a veil that obscures the view, exactly like the eyes of a normal child.

When Wang Wenlan received a good news call from his son, he cried uncontrollably. Since then, Wang Wenlan's inner anxiety has faded, and he fell asleep at 10 o'clock that night until 8 a.m. the next day.

In the morning, Wang Wenlan woke up, saw the bright sunlight outside the window, and his heart gushed with beauty that he had never had before.

At this time, Wang Wenlan had retired, and the well-meaning person said to him: Now that the tiger's eyes are healed, you should consider your personal problems, right?

Wang Wenlan had a new idea: he would wait until his son graduated from college and got married and started a family before considering personal problems. His pension is not too much, and as a father he wants to accumulate some money and give it to him when his son gets married in the future.

In fact, Wang Wenlan did not want to remarry for the sake of his son.

Wang Wenlan's strong father's love made his son moved to tears, and Huzi and his father had a deep affection, and every year when he returned to China, Huzi had to go to Tongzhou to visit his father and stay with him for a day or two.
