On a cold night in 1981, 14-year-old Zhai Naishe lay alone on the ground in a simple small car repair shop in Chenxi County, Hunan Province, clumsily repairing a worn tractor chassis with a wrench, while carefully avoiding staining his white-washed cotton clothes.
His thin body had almost disappeared from under the car, his face and hands were stained with black engine oil, and his hands were red from the cold. Outside, the biting cold wind whistled, occasionally mixed with snow, and the windows of the garage creaked and swayed.
Zhai Naishe knew that he had to fix the tractor before dawn, otherwise the next day the farmers would have no tools to work in the fields, and he would have no money to buy tomorrow's food.
Many years later, when Zhai Naishe stood at the end of the red carpet and looked back at his hard-working acting career, the picture of memory was finally frozen in that cold night - the thin, oil-covered teenager quietly met his eyes, and together with the firm light in the young man's eyes, he lit up the most dazzling star on the stage.
From this poor boy to a film and television superstar who has achieved great results in the end, Zhai Naishe has proved a truth with his hands and sweat: dreams never die, and persistence will always blossom.
At this time, the warm applause and faint sobs from the audience were the best reply to the teenager.
When Zhai Naishe's acting career was in full swing, his love life was not satisfactory.
His busy work made it impossible for him to spend time with his family, and his first wife chose to divorce after struggling to shoulder the burden of the family. The cold words on the divorce agreement were like a hammer, shattering Zhai Naishe's inner attachment to home.
He knew that he was sorry for his wife and daughter, especially the strange daughter, who was obviously his own flesh and blood, but he had never met.
So after the divorce, Zhai Naishe still sent money to his ex-wife every month, hoping to fulfill the last bit of responsibility for this broken family.
Later, Zhai Naishe found love again and married Wang Libo again. Wang Libo is gentle and considerate, and the two are very affectionate. However, the marriage lasted only a few years before it ended.
Although Wang Libo later returned to Zhai Naishe and gave support and encouragement again, the sour memories have buried a hidden pain in Zhai Naishe's heart.
In fact, everyone deserves to have overflowing happiness. Zhai Naishe is so eager for this, but so powerless. When the bitterness of the two relationships turned into nothing, he finally understood this truth: love needs to be cherished; Families need to be managed more carefully.
After Zhai Naishe's death, the only house in his name immediately became the focus of controversy.
"This house must be left to me, I am his only child!" The daughter of the first wife cried out as the last shred of hard-won hope was about to be dashed.
She had never had fatherly love before, and now that his father was gone, she just wanted to grab something to fill the hole in her heart.
"No, this house holds the best memories of me and him, and it can't be given to anyone!" Wang Libo also shouted loudly with red eyes. For three years, she watched her lover leave, she was too tired and desperate to hold on to this last safe haven.
However, the court ultimately rejected the case, and the property was owned by Wang Libo. When the words on the verdict came into her daughter's eyes, she froze and burst into tears. She suddenly regretted why she was fighting for these things with a woman she had never met.
She's lost so much that she doesn't have the strength to hate anyone anymore.
"Actually...... I've been thinking about how to make you feel that your father loves us all the same. Wang Libo whispered with red eyes.
Perhaps it is this apology that reunites broken hearts. Love should not be confined to the physical form, but requires the communion of the heart. This is what Zhai Naisha wants, and his spirit in the sky can finally rest in peace.
