An inspirational story of two ordinary people
In 1971, in an ordinary rural family in Hebei, a boy named Kang Hui was born. Although the parents are living in poverty, they hope that this child can change his fate and no longer work in the land like them in the future.
When he was a teenager, Kang Hui did not live up to his parents' expectations, he was diligent and studious, and his grades were among the best. Finally, under the proud eyes of his parents, Kang Hui entered the Communication University of China to study Xi as he wished.
For a child born in a rural area, being able to enter this university is simply crossing a large class and fulfilling the dream of his peers.
In college, Kang Hui always reminded himself to work hard and not forget the hardships when he came. He worked hard to learn Xi hosting skills, honed his eloquence, and participated in various speech competitions to sharpen himself.
After graduation, Kang Hui entered CCTV, a national media organization, with his strength, which is a long march for a child from an ordinary rural family.
Similar to Kang Hui, Liu Yajie also comes from an ordinary family. Through years of hard work and Xi, she entered CCTV as she wished and began her media path.
Both of them started from the ordinary, and finally reached the pinnacle of life through their own struggles.
Their stories originate from the ordinary, but they are infinitely wonderful because of their positive struggles. In this era, their experience will undoubtedly become a benchmark for countless ordinary people who are inspired to struggle, inspiring more people to pursue their dreams and change their destiny.
The fate of the two is destined
In 1993, Kang Hui, who had just joined CCTV, met a Xi student in the TV station, she was Liu Yajie. It turned out that the two had known each other in college, but they had never known each other because of their concentration on Xi.
One spring day many years ago, Liu Yajie hurriedly ran out of the dormitory to buy things, but encountered a sudden drizzle. She had no umbrella to use, and when she was in a hurry, Kang Hui happened to pass by and lent her his umbrella.
Since then, the two hearts have formed a faint fate.
Time flies, and many years later, the two reunite in a restaurant after being introduced by a friend. When Liu Yajie walked into the box, Kang Hui's heart skipped a beat unexpectedly - it turned out that he had a good impression of this serious girl when he was in college, but he was too focused on his studies at that time and never confessed.
Now reunited, the two hearts are like two destined tracks, finally converging together.
Soon after, they entered the palace of marriage. At the wedding, Liu Yajie shyly held Kang Hui's arm, dressed in a white wedding dress, like a fairy who came to the world.
Kang Hui looked at his lovely bride, his eyes turned red with excitement, and tears rolled in his eyes. With the blessing of relatives and friends, the two clasped their fingers tightly and officially started their married life.
Their love stems from a faint memory of their student days, and is rekindled on the TV station where they meet again many years later. Now they are entering marriage hand in hand, as if their fate has long been destined by God.
A common choice for two people
After getting married, Liu Yajie and Kang Hui made a choice that seemed extremely unreasonable at the time - they decided not to have children.
As the host and behind-the-scenes director of CCTV, both of them are extremely busy with their work. They often have to work overtime and don't have more time to take care of their children. Coupled with the fear that they would not be able to provide enough high-quality educational resources, the couple felt that it was better not to have children, and did not want their children to endure the hardships of life from an early age.
This was undoubtedly contrary to common sense under the social concept at that time. Their parents strongly opposed the decision and insisted that having children was an important part of the family's continuity.
As filial children, it is difficult for Kang Hui and Liu Yajie to make this difficult choice under the expectations of their parents.
However, after careful consideration, they finally decided to follow their hearts and chose not to have children. Because they understand that being responsible for their own lives and striving for career success is the best reward for their parents.
Parents' expectations come from love for their children, and to be worthy of these expectations, they must first fulfill themselves.
This is not an easy choice for anyone. But Kang Hui and Liu Yajie plucked up the courage and finally chose a lifestyle that they thought was more responsible for the two of them.
This perseverance also contributed to their later success.
The two have a successful career and a long-lasting relationship
After getting married, the husband and wife worked diligently in their respective posts and their careers were thriving. Kang Hui is praised by his colleagues as the "chosen worker", and he works very hard.
Liu Yajie has also gradually grown into a senior choreographer and director in the CCTV industry.
The busy work did not break the relationship between the two, but became the cornerstone of their mutual understanding and trust. Kang Hui often said that major matters in the family were decided after discussing with Liu Yajie.
For more than 30 years, the two have never had any negative news or scandals, only the envy of others.
Kang Hui at work is conscientious and responsible, always meticulous. But the audience didn't know that he actually missed his beloved wife at home very much. Every time he attended the party, Kang Hui would immediately send a message to his wife to report his safety.
Although Liu Yajie is also busy with work, she will take the time to carefully prepare her husband's favorite home-cooked food and wait for him to come home after work.
Although there is less joy for children in life, the simple daily life and the company of each other have achieved their only happiness. The busy work made them cherish the family happiness more and strengthened the relationship between each other.
Reflections after middle age
Will you regret your original choice? When he reaches middle age, Kang Hui has to admit that he really longs for the company of a child. The missed opportunities cannot be made up, and the regrets in life cannot be recovered, this is the reality that he must face.
Especially when he saw that the classmates around him had already hugged his grandson, Kang Hui's heart couldn't help but rise a trace of envy and guilt. A person's adolescence should have a continuation of life, but this has become a permanent regret for the couple.
However, more often than not, Kang Hui and Liu Yajie choose to be grateful for what they have now. Children do not necessarily become an added value to the family, but are likely to be caused by conflicts due to the uneven distribution of resources.
There are no ifs in life, and choices at each stage will have an impact on the path of life. The decision may not have been perfect, but it has shaped who they are now.
The husband and wife would rather laugh and talk about the arrogance and persistence of their youth, rather than regret the choice they made at the beginning. Those are unique memories of their lives.
Regret is unavoidable in every life, but happiness depends on how you look at it. The couple has learned to be truly grateful for what they have now and to live the rest of their lives positively.
Be grateful for the present and cherish the future
Today, Kang Hui and Liu Yajie are both well-known hosts and directors. They still work hard in their positions and lead by example, which is admired by their younger colleagues.
Kang Hui in front of the camera is always energetic and calm; Behind the camera, Liu Yajie always focuses on her work and devotes herself wholeheartedly. After work, they will go to the supermarket together to buy daily necessities, and live a simple life like all ordinary old husbands and wives.
After completing the most glamorous parts of their lives, they seem to cherish the dull moments of their daily lives even more. When they saw each other's white hair, Kang Hui and Liu Yajie couldn't help but sigh at the passage of time, and at the same time, they were sincerely grateful for luck to let the two grow old together and spend the rest of their lives together.
They have learned to accept life's regrets with gratitude. For the rest of their lives, they may consider adopting a child to make the family of three more welcoming.
Or perhaps, they will age quietly and take care of each other's daily life wholeheartedly. In any case, as long as I have you by my side, I am satisfied.
The husband and wife have experienced the highlight moments of their lives, and they have also experienced the preciousness of ordinary days. Thanksgiving for every good time in life is the precious life advice they have left to everyone in the years they have passed.
