In a corner of the cosy dining room, the delicious meat of the crab jumps in the steaming Chinese pot, and the aroma is overflowing. Wang Zhiwen sat at the table, the old man in front of him with a kind smile, she was his mother and his eternal concern in his heart. She asked curiously about the price of the crab on the plate, and the waiter next to her smiled and said, "20 yuan a piece." The mother and son enjoyed this rare time together and ate 8 fat hairy crabs together.
However, at the checkout, the bill showed more than 1,000 yuan. This scene undoubtedly reveals a warm story in Wang Zhiwen's heart, and it is also the realization of his wish many years ago. Behind the "lie" of 20 yuan a piece, there is his endless love and respect for his mother, and he can't bear to let her worry about the price, and he wants her to enjoy this long-lost feast of taste buds.
Wang Zhiwen, on the stage, is a radiant actor, each of his roles is unforgettable, and in life, he is a son full of filial piety, who embodies the cherishing and inheritance of family affection in his own way. For example, once on the screen, Ding Yuanying, played by him, showed an otherworldly hero image with absolute wisdom and scheming in "The Way of Heaven". Outside the play, he also showed his deep and simple filial piety to his mother with practical actions.
The drama "The Way of Heaven" is adapted from the original book of the same name "Distant Savior", which won a high evaluation of 92 points for its profound plot and superb acting skills when it premiered in 2008. Although the series has been taken off the shelves many times because it touches on sensitive social issues, those real emotional displays and exploration of human nature are still evocative. Wang Zhiwen's role in the play, Ding Yuanying, has a completely different contrast from his image in reality, but no matter which role he plays, he plays it vividly and convincingly.
Still, if you look beyond the surface of the screen, you may miss out on the deeper meaning behind it. The original work "Distant Savior" shows a more three-dimensional and in-depth character and emotional entanglement with richer brushstrokes. For audiences who pursue the depth of the plot, the original book undoubtedly provides a reading experience that jumps out of the screen frame and goes straight to the depths of people's hearts.
Going back to the story of Wang Zhiwen and his mother, in today's real society, filial piety often no longer requires earth-shattering and great deeds, as portrayed in ancient cultures. It could be a simple lie, a thoughtful gesture, or even a delicious meal of crab to share with your mother. This simple and sincere filial piety is like a warm light, illuminating our hearts, so that we can still feel the most simple human feelings in the fast-paced modern life.
And this is also a belief that Wang Zhiwen adheres to under the glamorous appearance. Whether it is showing heroism on the screen or showing filial piety in real life, he is interpreting the modern connotation of "filial piety" in his own way. In him, we see that no matter how the times change, sincere emotions and love for family members are still the most precious and eternal themes in human society.
