Since ancient times, filial piety has come first, and the kindness of parents is greater than heaven.
actor Xia Yu has gained fame and fortune in his career, and his relationship has also entered marriage, which should have been the peak moment of his life.
Unexpectedly, just when the grand wedding was held, he suddenly announced that he would refuse his father's attendance!
Such blatant and public unfilial piety shocked everyone.
Could it be that Xia Yu, a popular student, is an ungrateful and unfilial son?
When and where did the breakdown of their relationship originate, and is there a hidden story behind it?
Perhaps many people have developed a prejudice against Xia Yu, but the truth is often not as simple as it seems.
There must be a reason for everything, today, let's talk about the story of Xia Yu.
01
Xia Yu, born in 1976 in Qingdao, Shandong Province, his father is an actor and artist in the Qingdao Repertory Theatre, and his mother is an accountant in a department store.
Xia Yu has lived in the quarrel of his parents since he was a child, and when he was three years old, his parents chose to part ways.
After her parents divorced, Xia Yu was thrown to her aunt's house.
Living with his cousin, he often felt that his aunt was partial.
"Look, you only beat me, not her!" After an argument with his cousin, Xia Yu ran back to the room with red eyes, full of grievances.
In fact, this is just wishful thinking on the part of Xia Yu. My cousin is also very kind to Xia Yu on weekdays and often shares snacks with him.
Xia Yu always felt like a transparent person in the house, and no one cared about his feelings.
Once, several children pointed to Xia Yu and said, "Look at that child, it's so pitiful, he doesn't even have parents."
The other child chimed in: "Yes, a wild child." ”
Hearing these words, Xia Yu's eyes turned red, lowered his head and ran away quickly.
He knew that he was indeed different from those children who had parents, and that he was a "wild child" that no one wanted.
At this time, Xia Yu still had the last glimmer of hope in his heart - he believed that his father still loved him.
So, he wrote a letter to his father, asking him to take him home to live.
The letter was very simple, with only a few words: "Dad, I miss you very much, I am very unhappy alone at my aunt's house, can you take me home and live with you?"
After writing the letter, he threw himself into the mailbox full of hope.
Within a few days, he received a reply from his father.
The letter contained only a short sentence: "The fare home is too expensive." This sentence completely cut off the last hope in Xia Yu's heart.
It turned out that in his father's heart, he didn't even have the value of a train ticket.
02
In the rebellious period of adolescence, Xia Yu skipped class, smoked, and fought, all of which were to attract the attention of his parents.
But no matter how out of line he did, his parents didn't care. Xia Yu gradually understood that his parents really didn't care about him.
Once, Xia Yu and a few classmates went out to smoke and were caught.
The principal called all their parents. Several children stood aside with their heads bowed, not daring to look their parents in the eyes.
Xia Yu looked around, he was alone, and there was no one behind him. At this moment, a trace of loss crossed his heart.
It turned out that he was still the abandoned child.
Other people's parents will feel sorry and angry for their mistakes, and it is normal for only their own parents to be angry.
Xia Yu once thought about giving up contact with his father, but he couldn't. That person was his flesh and blood after all.
He also understands in his heart that parents have their own difficulties, and they don't really care about themselves.
But this understanding still can't resist the pain in my heart.
He often thinks that if only he hadn't been born, maybe his parents would be happier now.
In 1993, after learning that "Sunny Days" was being cast, Xia Yu's father made a decision, he sent Xia Yu's photos to director Jiang Wen, but he went to Japan.
When Xia Yu arrived in Beijing, he found out the truth. Once again, he felt betrayed by his father.
However, it was this move that made 17-year-old Xia Yu the youngest actor in Chinese history!
No one thought that a high school dropout would win the leading role of "Sunny Days" in one fell swoop with his similar appearance to Director Jiang Wen, and he made a scene in and out of the play.
Although Xia Yu knew his father's intentions, he still couldn't forgive.
"He threw me into the fire pit, but I didn't know where I went. My dream was also created by him alone. ”
Xia Yu gritted his teeth and said.
Unbeknownst to him, his father was actually writing to him apologizing, but he didn't know how to speak.
03
In 1995, Xia Yu applied for the Central Academy of Drama at the suggestion of Jiang Wen, and after admission, he held the title of "the youngest actor in history", but it brought him great pressure.
Many people think: "You are all actors, and there should be no problem with acting at all", and they have high requirements and expectations for him, so that he is not qualified to do anything.
During his Xi in Chinese opera, Xia Yu met his first love, Yuan Quan.
An empathetic, gentle and considerate girl.
She did not ask Xia Yu's pain to the root, but through daily interactions, she melted the thorn in Xia Yu's heart with sincerity.
The two of them could sit on the benches next to the playground and talk about the school with each other.
Yuan Quan will give his favorite gummy bear to Xia Yu.
Xia Yu took all precautions off Yuan Quan and was determined to save the relationship.
In the end, the long-distance love run between the two ended in a happy result.
The arrival of Yuan Quan undoubtedly warmed many of Xia Yu's psychological wounds and made Xia Yu understand the value of true love.
Life after marriage is supposed to be a happy one. But the knot in Xia Yu's heart still hasn't been untied.
He was unwilling to forgive his father and did not plan to invite his parents to his wedding.
This made Yuan Quan, as a bride, also very sad.
"After all, they are your parents, and getting married is a major life event, and I hope you can think about it. She persuaded again and again.
After marriage and childbirth, in order to ease the relationship between her in-laws and husband and wife, Yuan Quan took the initiative to invite her mother-in-law to take care of her grandson.
But Xia Yu was still indifferent, and returned all the things that his mother-in-law bought, no matter how his mother-in-law showed goodwill, he couldn't change it.
Seeing the sad and sad appearance of his in-laws, Yuan Quan felt very uncomfortable.
At noon that day, Yuan Quan cooked a few dishes and ate with his in-laws. "Auntie, I have something I want to say to you. ”
Yuan Quan put down the rice bowl in his hand and said solemnly. She decided to tell her in-laws about Xia Yu's misfortune and trauma in childhood.
This time, the in-laws finally woke up, and they not only apologized to their son, but also began to learn to be a competent parent.
In the end, it was the careful and considerate daughter-in-law that slowly healed the scars in the hearts of the father and son.
On his son's first birthday, when he saw his parents appear at the door of the venue, tears finally welled up in Xia Yu's eyes.
Perhaps, this is the scene he dreamed of.
Write at the end
No matter what happens, family is family after all. Childhood trauma does not sever this blood bond.
Because the closest person in life also understands your pain best.
Xia Yu chose to forgive, because he knew that his parents were also heartbroken by his decision.
There is no perfect answer in life, but the important thing is to find the best outcome.
Xia Yu finally understood that no matter what, her parents couldn't make up for their regrets.
So, instead of complaining, it is better to open your heart, understand and listen again.
Everyone's growth path is not easy, but with love, everything will be different.
