Ru Ping's anxiety about her first marriage
In 1990, 24-year-old Ru Ping married a painter Xi Tianying, who was 18 years older than her, and took the first step in her life. For Ru Ping, who is married for the first time, facing this man who has been married once, she is both looking forward to and apprehension.
Xi Tianying was gentle and elegant, giving Ru Ping a sense of security and letting her see the possibility of happiness. On the wedding night, Ru Ping nestled in Xi Tianying's arms, feeling her husband's powerful heartbeat, and couldn't help but have red circles.
She prayed in her heart, hoping that the days to come would be as warm and beautiful as this night.
More than a year after marriage, Ru Ping gave birth to her daughter Xi Wang, and the name she took placed on her beautiful vision for the future. She wants to give her daughter the most complete home, no longer tossing and turning among relatives like when she was a child.
For this reason, Ru Ping chose to temporarily put down her acting career and focus her time and energy on her family. She learned all kinds of housework and tried to be a good wife and mother. However, the good times did not last long, and Ru Ping's marriage cracked when her daughter was 3 years old.
Her husband is devoted to her career and goes out all the year round, and Ru Ping is alone at home with her children, feeling both aggrieved and worried that her daughter will become a child without father's love.
Finally, in 1995, Ru Ping chose to divorce Xi Tianying. On the day she signed it, she marked her name on the divorce agreement with red eyes, and her heart was like a knife. A beautiful dream was shattered, and she didn't know what to face in the future.
After the divorce, Ru Ping chose to pursue her acting career again, but deep down, she cared more about her 3-year-old daughter, and she didn't know how to take her guilt for her daughter.
Xi Wang's growth process
After his parents divorced, 3-year-old Xi Wang lived with his grandparents. My grandfather was an honest retired worker, and my grandmother was a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted old lady. Under their care, Xi Wang lived a different childhood from other children.
Every morning, her grandmother would wake her up, dress her with her own hands, tie her pigtails, and then hold her in her arms and feed her breakfast. After school, Xi Wang always likes to throw himself into his grandfather's arms and tell him interesting stories about himself at school.
Grandpa would laugh and amuse her. Despite the constraints of life, her grandparents tried their best to create warmth for her.
Xi Wang knows that her busy mother can't accompany her, so she is always very obedient and sensible, and doesn't cause trouble to her grandparents. Every month, when her mother came home to see her, she would try to look happy, even if she would secretly wipe away her tears in the dead of night.
Mom is sorry for me, I want to remember everything she has done for me, Xi Wang often said to himself.
In 2010, Xi Wang was admitted to the coveted Central Academy of Drama. Standing in front of the school gate, she was so excited that she burst into tears. Finally, I realized my dream of learning to act, and I want to shine on the stage in the future and win glory for my mother.
After entering the school, Xi Wang worked hard to study Xi acting courses, and her teachers and classmates praised her for her talent. In a drama competition, Xi Wang's outstanding acting skills won the praise of the judges.
After hearing about it, her mother Ru Ping frequently called to express her pride and encouragement to her daughter, and the laugh lines in the corners of her eyes seemed to be deep. Xi Wang worked harder to study the way of acting, because she knew that her mother was behind her.
After graduating from college, under the recommendation of his mother, Xi Wang began to develop in the film and television industry. During the filming of the first TV series, Xi Wang was so nervous that his palms were sweaty, for fear that his mother would be disappointed by his poor performance.
Fortunately, under the careful guidance of his mother, Xi Wang gradually found his form and made an excellent debut.
Since then, Xi Wang's acting skills have grown rapidly under the influence of Ru Ping. She began to play important roles in various film and television works, winning the love of the audience. Whenever a new drama is on the air, the mother always shares her daughter's performance video in the circle of friends for the first time, and she is proud of her daughter.
Xi Wang has gradually become the pillar of the family, which gives her the strength to continue to move forward.
Ru Ping's efforts to reconcile her family with remarriage
In 2000, Ru Ping and Liu Zhibing, who are also single parents, entered the marriage hall. The moment a family of four was formed, Ru Ping was excited. She dreams of a warm and harmonious home, with a loving husband and two close children.
She cooks hearty dinners for the children and the family is happy. She will also work hard to repair the gap in her daughter's maternal love because of her divorce. It doesn't matter, everything will be better in the new life.
However, after entering the newlywed life, Ru Ping soon felt anxious. Two newly married people each share a room with a child, and the children don't seem to accept the sudden arrival of a new family.
Xi Wang and Liu Sibo often had conflicts, and Ru Ping and Liu Zhibing also fell into a cold war. Ru Ping reluctantly found that there was a huge distance between the warm picture she envisioned and reality.
She began to blame herself for her rash decision to form the family, while inwardly worrying bitterly that it would hurt her daughter a second time.
Just when Ru Ping was depressed, her husband Liu Zhibing took the initiative to find Ru Ping to convey his thoughts - we should give each other's children more love. Ru Ping suddenly realized that love can melt all barriers.
From that day on, she regained her spirits and worked hard to take care of Liu Sibo as if she were her own son. She also felt Liu Zhibing's love for Xi Wang, and the relationship between the family of four became increasingly harmonious.
Ru Ping learns to reconcile complex family relationships, and she rekindles hope that perhaps this time, she can step out of the shadow of her previous marriage and give her daughter a complete home.
Xi Wang's married life
After graduating from Xi Wang's university, Ru Ping began to worry about her daughter's marriage. She is worried that the environment in the entertainment industry will affect her daughter's view of marriage, and she is even more afraid that her daughter will repeat her mistakes and miss the best opportunity to start a family.
Every time they meet, Ru Ping will persuade her daughter to have more high-quality boys and not to miss a good match. At first, Xi Wang coped with the past with a smile, but gradually under the influence of his mother, he began to pay attention to the potential marriage partners around him.
In 2016, Xi Wang met Guo Xiaoran at a party. The two fell in love at first sight and quickly established a relationship. Hearing the news, Ru Ping was both excited and nervous, and she investigated Guo Xiaoran's background in many ways, for fear that her daughter would be deceived.
But after meeting the parties, Ru Ping was relieved that Guo Xiaoran was indeed a promising young man. In 2017, Xi Wang and Guo Xiaoran entered the palace of marriage. Looking at her daughter in a white wedding dress, Ru Ping burst into tears with excitement.
She is so proud and glad for her daughter.
A year after marriage, Xi Wang gave birth to a daughter. Holding her little granddaughter, Ru Ping was so happy and relieved. She can finally let go of the knot in her heart for years - her daughter will have a complete and happy home, and she will not repeat her mistakes.
Her granddaughter became the joy of her later life. Every day, Ru Ping will take care of this cute little life and experience the joy of being a grandmother.
However, just when Ru Ping was immersed in this warmth, her daughter suddenly proposed to divorce in 2022. Ru Ping was hit hard and strongly opposed her daughter's decision.
She talked to her daughter and went to visit her son-in-law, trying to save this seemingly happy marriage. But her daughter was resolute and went through the divorce procedures without Ru Ping's knowledge.
Ru Ping was grief-stricken, she could no longer understand the inexplicable divorced young man, and blamed herself for not fulfilling her responsibilities as a good mother.
Ru Ping's reaction to her daughter's divorce
Her daughter's sudden divorce decision caught Ru Ping off guard. She tried to communicate deeply with her daughter, trying to find out where her son-in-law was not good enough to deserve her daughter to leave this seemingly happy marriage.
But the daughter was resolute and didn't reveal too much of the inside story. Ru Ping strongly disagreed with her daughter's choice and asked her bitterly if she had considered her daughter's feelings. However, the daughter still went her own way and chose to divorce.
This result was difficult for Ru Ping to accept. She wondered if her way of being a mother was wrong, and she failed to give her daughter the correct concept of marriage and love, so that her daughter regarded marriage as child's play.
Ru Ping was remorseful, feeling that she owed her daughter and poor granddaughter. She spent her days in tears, fearing that her daughter would repeat her mistakes and live in an insecure environment.
Faced with her daughter's determination, Ru Ping felt powerless. She went to visit her son-in-law, hoping that he could save the marriage, but the other party had nothing to do. Ru Ping realized that she might only be able to accept the reality and give her daughter the greatest support for the moment.
She no longer persuades her daughter, but spends more time with her and makes her feel that her mother is always behind her. Ru Ping understands that life has to go on, and she must learn to let go and trust her daughter to make her own judgment.
Despite her efforts to accept reality, Ru Ping often worries about her daughter's final fate. A 30-year-old woman is divorced with children, and her relationship prospects and life are full of unknowns.
Ru Ping is afraid that her daughter will eventually be alone and have no sincere partner. She is also afraid that her granddaughter will grow up in an environment that lacks fatherly love and repeat the mistakes of her and her daughter.
This anxiety often haunts Ru Ping, but she can only bury it deep in her heart and try to give her daughter courage and hope.
Xi Wang's maturity takes on family responsibilities
On Xi Wang's 30th birthday, she published an article on social platforms expressing her feelings. In the article, she wrote that she should exercise well and take life seriously, because every family member she loves needs her care.
These words touched Ru Ping, and she could feel her daughter's maturity and sense of responsibility. Maybe as a mother, she can really let go and believe that her daughter has grown up and can be on her own.
Ru Ping noticed that Xi Wang did not collapse after the divorce. Instead, she continued to focus on her work and put her heart and soul into the filming of the new drama. After the play, she also found time to spend with her daughter and tried her best to give her a warm environment.
Xi Wang did not lose his enthusiasm for life, which gave Ru Ping a great relief. She knows that her daughter is ready to take on the responsibility of this family and become the spiritual pillar of everyone.
Looking at her daughter's self-improvement, Ru Ping felt relieved. Maybe as a mother all the time, she will worry about her daughter's marriage, but she knows that she can't force it. She needs to learn to let her daughter choose her own life, not to bind her.
Xi Wang's maturity gave Ru Ping confidence, and she believed that with her daughter's sense of obligation, she would definitely support this family and not let everyone down. She is proud of her daughter and happy for her growth.
