In 1980, 38-year-old Sun Guitian used his savings of only 26,000 yuan to buy a courtyard house next to the Forbidden City in Beijing.
From being on the verge of unemployment to ushering in the second spring of his career, this set of courtyard houses has made a great contribution, but many years later, Sun Guitian complained tearfully: "I really shouldn't have bought this courtyard."
As everyone knows, before that, Sun Guitian was married and divorced, and every time she left the house, a woman with three children waiting to be nursed was living on the streets of Beijing.
When she was most helpless, she even thought about holding her child and throwing herself into the river together, and finally her daughter's cry woke her up.
What happened behind this seemingly infinite courtyard became Tian Guizhen's nightmare in his life?
Is maternal love a "sin"?
In 1997, director Feng Xiaogang was preparing to start shooting a new movie "Party A and Party B", but he never found a suitable filming location.
At this time, Feng Xiaogang's friend Fu Biao recommended his neighbor, Sun Guitian's courtyard, to him, and suggested that Feng Xiaogang take a look.
Sun Guitian, 55 years old at the time, was a Peking Opera actor, and when he heard that the big director wanted to borrow her yard to film, he readily agreed.
Unexpectedly, this opened the door to acting for Sun Guitian, and she made a cameo role in the movie, thus becoming a well-known actor.
However, this set of courtyards next to the Forbidden City also became the trigger for the breakdown of the relationship between Sun Guitian and his children in the future, and Sun Guitian was very caring and considerate to the three children.
In order to meet the needs of her children to start a family, she has purchased real estate.
When her eldest son got married, she specially bought a three-bedroom house, and when her eldest daughter got married, she also bought a real estate, but unexpectedly, this mother's love and thoughtfulness later brought unimaginable pain to Sun Guitian.
It turned out that Sun Guitian planned to leave the priceless courtyard to the younger daughter, which angered the eldest son and the eldest daughter, who felt that their mother was unfair.
For the inheritance of this courtyard, the children fight for me, and even have to break off friendship with their mothers.
In the face of her children who are constantly arguing, Sun Guitian helplessly said that she is a "hero" and a "sinner" in the family, and she regrets very much that she bought this courtyard in the first place, without it, the beautiful realm of mother's filial piety may still exist.
Now, Sun Guitian can only appease the dissatisfaction of his children by distributing more property, and the two sides pretend to be harmonious on the surface, but the relationship in private is difficult to restore the true feelings of the past.
As a mother, Sun Guitian gave too much, but lost the hearts of her children because of this house, she could not change the consequences that had been caused, and could only accept the sin and punishment of this mother's love in pain.
Looking back at Sun Guitian's life, although he was born with a golden spoon, he took a script full of flaws.
Find direction in life from being lost
Sun Guitian was born in 1942 in a wealthy family in Beijing, and his father, Mr. Sun, was a businessman who had been doing business abroad for many years and had accumulated a lot of wealth.
Mr. Sun has had a good life and has married three wives, and Sun Guitian's biological mother is the youngest third wife.
Sun Guitian was favored by her family as soon as she was born, just because she was the only child of this big family.
But the good times did not last long, when he was two years old, his biological mother died of illness, and Sun Guitian was raised by his eldest wife.
When he was 10 years old, Mr. Sun unfortunately died of illness, and his family fell into ruins.
Although the eldest wife tried her best to take care of Sun Guitian, she was pampered and did not know anything about housework.
Within a few years, the family's savings were running out, and life was in dire straits, and Sun Guitian had to go to the neighborhood to beg for food to survive.
At the age of 16, Sun Guitian left Beijing and went northeast to join his uncle and join a Peking Opera troupe.
She became a Peking Opera actress by virtue of her outstanding appearance and ability to speak Mandarin.
In the troupe, she met her first husband, Teacher Yan. Teacher Yan is 6 years older than her and takes good care of her, and the two have become increasingly close. Under the coordination of the group leader, Sun Guitian, who did not know marriage, became married to Teacher Yan in this way.
After marriage, she gave birth to a son and a daughter, but her meager income and indifferent relationship between the two made the marriage on the verge of breakdown.
Years later, Beijing's eldest wife suddenly collapsed in bed and needed care.
Sun Guitian decided to return to Beijing to help, but Teacher Yan did not agree, the conflict between the two intensified, and after careful consideration, Sun Guitian filed for divorce and returned to Beijing to take care of his eldest wife, and promised to take care of Teacher Yan for life.
Back in Beijing, Sun Guitian, who had a difficult life, was helpless and had to raise two children, and it was at this time that she met her second husband, Dalin.
Da Lin took good care of her and the child, gave her hope, and the two married and had a daughter.
Sun Guitian thought that life was finally on track, but he knew that Dalin's personality had changed greatly, not only cheating, but also treating two children who were not biological children coldly.
Sun Guitian, who couldn't bear it, chose to divorce and left the house again with his three children.
Sun Guitian, who had experienced the blow of divorce twice, almost collapsed and even thought about taking her own life, but for the sake of her children, she cheered up, struggled to make a living in Beijing, and opened a small store.
At the same time, he also met his godson, Fu Biao.
No, it's a pity
Sun Guitian is a kind and affectionate person, she adopted a son Fu Biao who is not her own, treating him as her own and loving him like her own son.
In order to support her family, Sun Guitian has taken on the heavy responsibilities of the family since she was a child, she is diligent and capable, almost all the housework, she gets up every day before dawn, and she can't sleep until late at night.
In this way, Sun Guitian worked hard while raising Fu Biao to adulthood.
But when Fu Biao was 42 years old, he suddenly suffered from liver cancer and passed away in a blink of an eye, Sun Guitian, as an adoptive mother, was grief-stricken, she cried silently, could not let go for a long time, and often saw Fu Biao come back to her in her dreams.
Sun Guitian was deeply devastated, but in order to survive, she picked herself up and continued to work hard.
In her later years, Sun Guitian took care of the family business in order to make a good life for her children, buying two houses for her son, one apartment plus a shop for her eldest daughter, and the rest of the courtyard for herself and her younger daughter.
Who knows, these children do not appreciate it, and they turn their faces into feuds in order to fight for the ownership of the courtyard.
The eldest daughter even broke off ties with her mother because of this, and in 2017, her son died of illness, and her daughter-in-law joined the property battle.
The 80-year-old Sun Guitian's heart was cut like a knife, and she had to make a will to calm the dispute.
Epilogue:
Sun Guitian, who has worked hard all her life, wants to make her children carefree, but she has been betrayed by her family, and her former happiness has come to naught overnight, making her sad.
It turns out that the more money, the greater the troubles, the failure of education is embarrassing, the children do not know how to repay the grace of nurturing, and the family affection has disappeared.
Sun Guitian has experienced too many ups and downs in life, but she still retains her kind and benevolent nature.
In the face of adversity, she did not complain about the sky, always be a sensible and contented person, perhaps the real happiness is not in money, but in contentment.
