In Beijing, everything is recovering, and everything is full of vitality and hope.
In a neighborhood within the Fifth Ring Road, Sun Honglei opened his eyes, and the sunlight outside the window had passed through the thin curtains and sprinkled on his soft face.
Today is May 2, 2001, a day he has been waiting for for a long time.
On the horizon, the sun climbs high, as if to welcome the arrival of this important day.
After buying flowers and gifts, Sun Honglei came to the Kunlun Hotel with brisk steps. Pushing open the door of the box, what greeted him was the "goddess" who had always lived in his heart-Gong Li.
She wore a light blue dress, simple and elegant but elegant, and her long black hair was tied casually behind her head, reflecting her fair and delicate skin. The whole person is permeated with a natural temperament.
Sun Honglei was a little stunned, and blurted out: "Hello Gong Li, you look so young." Gong Li asked playfully: "In your mind, am I already full of gray hair?" The two looked at each other and smiled, breaking the momentary embarrassment.
This day was their first meeting as members of the crew of the movie "Zhou Yu's Train". is Sun Honglei's idol, but Gong Li, who is petite and delicate but lightweight, makes Sun Honglei's heart move with every move.
In the 4 months of filming since then, while they are performing passionate dramas under the scenery of Cangshan and Erhai Lake, they have gradually become familiar with each other and become friends. In the end, under the affection of the characters in the play, Sun Honglei felt that he had quietly fallen in love with Gong Li.
Knowing that there was no hope, he still buried it in the depths of his heart with sourness.
After the movie was completed, Sun Honglei returned to his home in Beijing. The familiar environment did not make him feel at ease, but reminded him of the bits and pieces of getting along with Gong Li in Kunming all the time.
That petite figure seemed to have become part of his life and the best part of his memory. Finally, he mustered up the courage to dial Gong Li's phone. Gong Li gently asked him what was the matter, and he expressed his desire to see her.
Gong Li was silent for a few seconds, and then softly agreed.
In the afternoon of the same day, Sun Honglei came to Gong Li's mother's house with a fruit gift box. Gong Li wore a pale yellow dress and greeted him to the balcony to chat. When the two talked about the topic of "home", Sun Honglei mustered up all his courage and confided his true thoughts to Gong Li - he hoped that Gong Li could become his home.
However, Gong Li still gently and resolutely refused. She analyzed the various difficulties that might exist between the two and persuaded Sun Honglei to give up this absurd idea and not to cause harm to each other.
Sun Honglei chose to leave with interest. He paced alone under a street lamp at the foot of the community, looking at the light from the window of Gong Li's house, and his heart was extremely sad. He understands that this is an unrequited love that is destined to end in nothing, and he must learn to let go.
In the spring of 2003, Sun Honglei searched for Gong Li's latest news as usual. When he saw that she was going to fly to a foreign country to Paris to shoot an advertisement, his heart began to beat uncontrollably.
Finally, on a gloomy afternoon, Sun Honglei also stepped on a flight to Paris.
After 12 hours, the plane landed at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport. Sun Honglei carried a small suitcase and walked slowly along the streets of Paris along the Seine. The early morning sun shines on the historic building, leaving dappled light and shadow.
This city full of art is also full of missing Gong Li.
Sun Honglei, who learned of Gong Li's filming location, stood far away on the riverbank, watching Gong Li on the other side bloom under the surround of magnesium lights and cameras. She was so demure and beautiful, Sun Honglei was even a little stunned.
When Gong Li found Sun Honglei in the distance, he beckoned in surprise. After the shooting, she took the initiative to invite Sun Honglei to lunch. The two sat face to face in a small shop by the river, and Gong Li carefully ordered Sun Honglei's favorite steak.
In this warm afternoon, Sun Honglei poured out his sincerity again and confessed to Gong Li for the third time. However, there was no suspense in the result, Gong Li rejected him again, and he left alone in the sunset.
After the trip to Paris, the scandal between Sun Honglei and Gong Li was rampant. In the face of the reporter's pursuit and interception, Sun Honglei chose to be honest, saying that Gong Li is the perfect goddess in her heart, but she already has a family, and she is destined to lose her life.
These words set off a lot of turmoil in the entertainment industry, and also brought trouble to Gong Li's family life.
For this reason, on the occasion of the Spring Festival in 2004, Sun Honglei mustered up the courage to invite Gong Li and her husband to dinner. Sun Honglei was so frightened by this meal that he stammered and apologized to Gong Li and her husband, expressing his remorse and self-blame.
Gong Li and her husband were tolerant and generous to Sun Honglei, and promised to treat him as their own brother in the future. The relationship between the three was reconciled during this meal.
After apologizing, Sun Honglei began to try to keep his distance and no longer approached Gong Li. He often buries himself in his work, but occasionally the concern in his heart will still arise spontaneously.
In order to seek solace, he even found a girl who was very similar to Gong Li to try to date, but in the end he broke up unhappily and was doomed to failure.
Early one morning in 2006, Sun Honglei drove to Gong Li's current crew. Pushing open the door of the dressing room, Gong Li was drawing delicate makeup in front of the mirror.
She raised her eyes to see Sun Honglei and showed a familiar smile. Sun Honglei said hello a little awkwardly and sat down on a chair beside him.
The two chatted with each other. Sun Honglei said that he still couldn't find a suitable lover, Gong Li couldn't help laughing, jokingly saying that he was too picky.
Sun Honglei smiled bitterly, it was indeed difficult for him to get out of her shadow. Gong Li made a straight face at this time and seriously criticized Sun Honglei for not treating every girl as harshly as she treated.
She analyzed Sun Honglei's shortcomings on the emotional road, and persuaded him to adjust his mentality and learn to appreciate the unique charm of each girl.
After saying this, Sun Honglei nodded silently. Out of the dressing room, he looked at the blue sky and white clouds. Perhaps, it is time for him to learn to let go and re-recognize this wonderful world.
With the passage of time, Gong Li's position in Sun Honglei's heart has also quietly changed. From the beginning of admiration, to later regret and awe, Gong Li gradually became a bright light in his life, always guiding him to grow.
And he himself has matured in the magnificent waves of the past five years.
Today's Sun Honglei is no longer the reckless and impulsive young man he used to be, he has learned tolerance and understanding, and has grown up slowly. In his work, he devoted himself wholeheartedly, chose many excellent works, and grew from a niche actor to a powerful actor.
On the emotional road, he no longer takes Gong Li as the standard to demand every girl, but uses a positive and optimistic attitude to understand their unique charm.
He and Gong Li maintain a brother-sister relationship. Occasionally, when there is an intersection at work, the two will easily talk about the past. Now that Sun Honglei has her own home, Gong Li and her family are also living happily.
Five years of emotional turmoil have become a unique embellishment in the memories of the two and forged their deep friendship.
