Yue Hong was born in Chengdu, Sichuan, to an ordinary family, and she grew up in the same environment as most children. However, Yue Hong, who is introverted and insecure, always feels that she is different.
She is eager to change all this through her own efforts and live an extraordinary life.
When she was 15 years old, Yue Hong mustered up all the courage to apply for the Chinese opera examination. She looks forward to how wonderful her life will be if she can become an actress as she wishes. However, the result of failing the college entrance examination made Yue Hong realize that it was not as simple as imagined to change her fate.
Although she had already had a blow in her heart, Yue Hong did not give up, she believed that as long as she worked hard enough, her dream would eventually come true.
The blow of failing the exam did not knock down the persistent Yue Hong. In order to make a living, she could only temporarily put aside her acting dream and entered an electronics factory. The boring work content is tantamount to torture for Yue Hong, she has to endure the fumes and sweat.
However, Yue Hong did not complain, just endured it silently.
Half a year later, Yue Hong once again mustered up the courage to join the army and apply for the exam. She wants to change her destiny with the help of military life. The day before the enlistment physical examination, Yue Hong couldn't sleep all night, imagining another extraordinary life in his mind.
After experiencing many failures, Yue Hong was not defeated by life, but made her more tenacious. Knowing that there was no shortcut, she began a long preparation and devoted herself to acquiring acting skills in order to be admitted to Chinese opera.
During the day, she would be engrossed in watching classic films; At night, she sat on a bench by the lake, silently imagining herself on the stage.
A year later, in the early winter morning, Yue Hong opened the letter from the Chinese opera, and when she saw her name on the admission notice, she burst into tears, as if in a dream. This time, she finally overcame the ups and downs of fate, and the door to her acting career opened to her.
Yue Hong knew that this would not be the end of the journey, but it would be a new starting point.
After graduating from Chinese opera, Yue Hong entered the film studio as she wished and began her acting career. When she was a newcomer, she went through training, and finally successfully created the popular role of "Guilan" in the movie "Wild Mountain", and became one of the top actors in the film in one fell swoop.
While having a successful career, Yue Hong met the other half of her life. The two fell in love at first sight, and within three years, a new member had been added to the family - their daughter had also come into the world.
Yue Hong and her husband's relationship was smooth, and they were in love with each other. Every time she came home from work and looked at the steaming meal on the table, Yue Hong felt extremely happy and relieved.
She will also patiently tell her husband some interesting things about filming, and the two are happy. It was Yue Hong's best day.
Just when Yue Hong's career and love were both harvesting, she received a divorce agreement on the fourth day of her daughter's birth. Caught off guard by this sudden turn of events, she tries to salvage the relationship, but it's a foregone conclusion.
In order to work, she can only endure the pain of leaving her newborn daughter to be raised by her mother.
When Yue Hong returned to the filming site, she endured the great grief in her heart and focused on her work, but every night in the dead of night, she still couldn't help crying.
Without a warm home and sleeping in a cold single bed, she began to Xi the loneliness of being alone. 28-year-old Yue Hong began the long road of single parenthood.
After years of hard work, Yue Hong's body gradually became problematic. Due to the frequent over-operation of filming and skipping meals, she suffered from severe stomach problems and was diagnosed with stomach cancer.
This is tantamount to a bolt from the blue for her when her career is on the rise. For the sake of surgery and follow-up treatment, Yue Hong had to suspend her work.
At the same time, her daughter also misunderstood her because of Yue Hong's "abandonment" for many years, and the relationship between mother and daughter once fell to a freezing point. Faced with the double blow of career and family, Yue Hong's whole person fell into unprecedented pain and self-blame.
She began to reflect on what she had done and had the idea of a change.
In the process of surgery and treatment, Yue Hong constantly reflected and found the direction of her life. She began to take the initiative to contact her daughter and confide in her apologies and debts as a mother.
At first, the daughter was defensive and skeptical. But Yue Hong did not give up, she resolved the pain in her daughter's heart step by step, and slowly won her understanding and acceptance.
When he walked out of the gate of the hospital and blew the warm spring sun, Yue Hong's heart swelled with unprecedented strength. Standing beside her was her daughter, who had re-approached. Yue Hong felt that they had walked out of the trough of life, and there was a broad road to hope ahead.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Yue Hong is 60 years old, and she has struggled for 32 years as a single parent. In this long journey of life, Yue Hong has gone through all kinds of ups and downs in life and career, but she has never given up on herself.
Just when she was full of thoughts, her daughter, who graduated from college, came to her and said earnestly: "Mom, I want to act with you."
This simple sentence made Yue Hong excited. She suddenly discovers that her daughter is not only an adult, but also wants to walk side by side with her, chasing the same dreams.
Yue Hong hugged her daughter with relief, her heart full of long-lost satisfaction and peace. She finally realized that even though she has experienced the blows of life, as long as there is hope in her heart, she can feel true happiness.
