One day in 1953, the handsome Chen Guojun came to the world. He was born in a literary family, and his father was the director of the army's art troupe. At the age of nine, Chen Guojun took the stage for the first time, holding the violin given to him by his father.
The audience applauded enthusiastically, and he smiled shyly.
Literature and art seem to be innate, and Chen Guojun has a fire of enthusiasm burning in his chest. When he grew up, he joined the art troupe and continued to hone his acting skills during his military career.
In 1975, Chen Guojun, who was 22 years old, was invited to join Changchun Film Studio and began his screen journey.
In the same year, a refreshing girl came to Changchun, a decision that changed the trajectory of her life. She is Zhao Yamin, an educated youth in the countryside of Shanxi, when she had just returned to her hometown from the queue, looking at her hands full of mud, she was determined to fight for a new world.
19-year-old Zhao Yamin came to the unfamiliar Changchun, yearning for the light of the movie alone. Lady Luck favored her, and with her dazzling performance in the first audition, Zhao Yamin joined Changying Studio as she wished.
In a blink of an eye, she was already an "old driver" who had played the captain of the female militia.
Two years later, the young they met on the set of Changying Studio. Chen Guojun is sunny and cheerful, Zhao Yamin is delicate and lovely, and she fell in love at first sight. There were originally few scenes in the movie, but in reality they were inseparable.
Love comes suddenly like a meteor, igniting two fiery and sincere hearts. The whole spring is their sweet home field, and they are full of energy.
In the spring of 1979, Chen Guojun and Zhao Yamin tied the knot with the blessing of relatives and friends. After a simple ceremony, they appeared hand in hand, with happy smiles on their faces.
The long-awaited love has finally come to fruition, and the young couple is ready to build a new home.
The married life is not rich, they live in ordinary public houses, facing empty rooms. Chen Guojun spread the futon brought back from the army on the ground and fell asleep with Zhao Yamin.
Neither of them slept at night, quietly savoring the emotion of this moment. One dream, two hearts, they already have the same mind.
During the day, Chen Guojun devoted himself to film and television shooting, often working overtime until late at night. Zhao Yamin took care of this small family at home, with smoke curling, hoping to give her husband a safe haven to rest.
Every night when Chen Guojun returned home, Zhao Yamin always greeted him with a smile and warmly massaged his sore shoulders.
Three years later, his son Chen He was born in this ordinary and warm family. Zhao Yamin happily picked up the soft baby, tears rolling down her cheeks. She is willing to put her acting career on hold for the time being and put all her mind on taking care of this family.
Chen Guojun also made persistent efforts, hoping that his work could provide a more stable material foundation for this small family.
Although their lives are difficult, they feel happy and fulfilled because of their love. During this period, Chen and Zhao gave each other the most wonderful youth.
Spring goes to autumn, the years go by, and in 1985 of the Gregorian calendar, Chen Guojun's career entered an upward period. However, the flowers of affection have withered in the trivialities of life.
Maybe it's because the familiarity between husband and wife is gradually losing its freshness, or maybe Chen Guojun met a new soulmate in the film and television industry, and he proposed to break up with Zhao Yamin.
At this moment, Zhao Yamin's whole world stood still. She looked at the man in front of her who she had always loved, and she didn't say a word, her mind was full of all kinds of warm fragments of the past.
She remembered the sweetness when she first entered the marriage hall, and remembered the moment when she hugged her newborn Chen He and cried stupidly...... All the good memories tormented her, and her tears burst down the river.
"When I beg you, don't leave me, don't leave Hehe...... Our family is just complete!" Zhao Yamin choked and roared, crying silently. She hugged Chen Guojun's leg and didn't let go, begging for mercy like a life-saving straw.
However, Chen Guojun was indifferent, and avoided her mournful gaze with a blank face. As soon as he turned around, his back faded away, cold and ruthless.
On the day of signing the divorce, Zhao Yamin stood upright, but felt that the world was turned upside down. She felt unprecedented dazed and helpless, facing her 5-year-old son Chen He, she didn't know what to do for a while.
In the end, she put her career on hold for the time being and devoted herself to the task of raising her son with enthusiasm.
Chen Guojun soon transformed into a director with the help of Liu Xiaoqing, and his career was booming. Zhao Yamin couldn't hide his lonely appearance on TV, but there was no complaint in his heart.
She understands that feelings are inherently fickle, and only dedication is eternal. So, she smiled and ushered in a new chapter of her life.
After the divorce, Zhao Yamin did not get more opportunities in the entertainment industry, and her career did not improve. In order to give her son a better life, she resolutely gave up this career and went to distant Japan alone to study Xi fashion design.
Life in a foreign country is not easy, and in the face of extremely tedious schoolwork, Zhao Yamin's energy and perseverance have been greatly tested. At first, she often cried out of exhaustion on a cot in her dormitory.
But when she thought of her son Chen He's longing eyes in his hometown, her heart was full of firm strength.
In her spare time, Zhao Yamin constantly designs her own clothing patterns. She uses a combination of Chinese elements and Japanese style, and tries her best to turn novel ideas into drawings.
Teachers and classmates alike praised her exquisite craftsmanship and unique style. A few years later, Zhao Yamin, who graduated, chose to work in Japan to gain experience.
Ten years later, Zhao Yamin, who already has a wealth of professional knowledge and design experience, returned to China and established a small fashion studio in Beijing. With her avant-garde design style and exquisite craftsmanship, her clothes quickly became popular among young women.
As the head of the company, Zhao Yamin poured all her efforts into every order of the studio, and finally made her career a success.
Chen He also emerged at this time and became an excellent film and television director, becoming his mother's greatest pride. Zhao Yamin looked at her son on the TV screen with tears in her eyes, and once again felt the meaning of life.
The years are unforgiving, youth is gone, and the white-haired Zhao Yamin is 66 years old. She still maintains her passion for her work, carefully designing the most avant-garde clothing lines every day.
The girls in their early 20s wore her designs and laughed, which made Zhao Yamin feel the youthful vitality that she had not seen for a long time.
Talking about the past, Zhao Yamin can only smile meaningfully. She no longer tossed and turned for the sadness of divorce at a young age, and also saw all the things that Chen Guojun later married and had children.
She lived her wonderful life in her own way, and gained a calm and calm that was different from ordinary people.
Zhao Yamin has experienced a heart-wrenching parting, so she cherishes the hard-won reunion. Her small apartment is often bustling with old classmates and new clients.
Friends often joke that she is the most modest and generous strong woman in Beijing, and she only squints her eyes and smiles affectionately.
Her son Chen He occasionally brought his daughter to see her, and the little girl sweetly called her "grandma". Zhao Yamin looked at her granddaughter's innocent smile, and felt a lot of emotion in her heart.
She realizes that she's lived a life that too many people can't do in their lifetimes, and she's grateful for it.
Life is like morning dew, Zhao Yamin is already downsizing fame and fortune, and now she only hopes to share more love and warmth. She joined the volunteer team and often visited orphanages and nursing homes for those who were in need of care.
In her unique way, light up every heart that needs warmth.
