In 1982, a young boy came to the city of Changchun alone and took the first step in his acting career. His name is Li Youbin, and this year, he entered the Changchun Drama Theater as he wished and began his acting Xi.
There weren't many people in the theater who spoke standard Mandarin, and Li Youbin quickly attracted attention with his fluent Mandarin.
What attracts him even more is his outstanding appearance. With short black hair, a high nose bridge, sharp eyebrows and resolute facial features, coupled with a tall figure, he looks heroic.
No one would have thought that he would be the Sven tough guy on the screen in the future.
There are many stars in the theater, but the most outstanding is an actress named Zhang Ruiqi. She is not only beautiful and beautiful, but most importantly, she has excellent acting skills, and many classic roles in the theater are her forte.
Because she is well-known in the drama industry, there are naturally many men who pursue her.
By chance, Zhang Ruiqi and Li Youbin became familiar friends. Li Youbin's handsome appearance and polite style make Zhang Ruiqi see him different. A year later, the two entered the marriage hall with everyone's blessings.
Life after marriage was smooth and sweet, and soon after Zhang Ruiqi gave birth to the crystallization of their love - son Li Xiaoke.
In order to show his ambitions on a bigger stage, in the early 90s, Li Youbin proposed a plan to relocate his family to Beijing.
Although Zhang Ruiqi was reluctant to leave the familiar Changchun, she readily agreed when she saw her husband's enthusiasm for his career.
After arriving in Beijing, the high cost of living made the couple feel stressed. Li Youbin ran into walls everywhere, and could only receive some small roles with a meager income.
Zhang Ruiqi did not want to be a burden to her husband, so she took the initiative to give up her career and took on the responsibility of taking care of the family and raising her children by herself.
Day after day, Li Youbin spent more and more time running around to make a living, often not returning home for several days in a row. Zhang Ruiqi didn't blame, but when he was too busy with work, he offered to go out to work and share the family, but Li Youbin refused, on the grounds that the child was still young and needed his mother to take care of him at home.
Zhang Ruiqi didn't know that this was actually the beginning of Li Youbin's concealment of extramarital affairs. Since coming to Beijing, Li Youbin has gradually lost his sense of responsibility for this family.
In 2003, 41-year-old Li Youbin played the leading role in the TV series "Jiangshan", and the heroine who played with him was the popular Huadan Shi Lanya. Shi Lanya was born with Peugeot and is very intelligent, and he always responds sharply and easily when he plays against Li Youbin.
The ambiguous atmosphere between the two spread in the crew.
At first, Li Youbin was able to maintain his sanity and did not take a step beyond Lei Chi. But Shi Lanya took the initiative to be courteous and repeatedly showed goodwill. Li Youbin was also moved by this silent pursuit, and the two began to date in private.
Knowing that Li Youbin was married, Shi Lanya still went his own way, Li Youbin did not refuse her warm confession after all, and the relationship between the two became closer and closer.
In 2005, with the encouragement of Shi Lanya, Li Youbin starred in his masterpiece "Bright Sword". As soon as this drama was broadcast, Li Youbin became popular overnight, and his career reached its peak.
However, just as his career was on the rise, Li Youbin made the decision to divorce. Because during the filming, he suffered from a severe cold, Shi Lanya immediately rushed to the crew after hearing about it and took good care of him, which made Li Youbin fall in love with her.
The two who warmed up their relationship finally came together firmly.
The sudden divorce of his parents hit his son Li Xiaoke hard. He reminisced about his childhood, and the bits and pieces of happiness of the family of three. Dad was busy filming, Mom was gentle at home, and he grew up carefree.
Suddenly, one day, this perfect home was shattered like this, and a corner of his sky collapsed.
Li Xiaoke cried and questioned his parents, and begged to remarry, but his father was resolute and refused to give them another chance. Li Xiaoke tasted the pain of betrayal for the first time, and he felt lonely and lost like never before.
As he grew older, Li Xiaoke gradually understood the truth. He found that his father was very attentive to the stepson brought by Shi Lanya, but he ignored his own flesh and blood.
Li Xiaoke couldn't hold back the resentment in his heart anymore and chose to cut off relations with his biological father. Now 38 years old, he has not married, which seems to have become a kind of revenge against Li Youbin.
After entering into marriage with Shi Lanya, Li Youbin obtained a double harvest of career and family. But behind this seemingly perfect life, there is an irreparable regret - his son's hatred and resistance to him.
Many times, Li Youbin tried to ask his son out to talk and repair the broken father-son relationship. But Li Xiaoke always refused to see him.
Only then did Li Youbin realize that the betrayal and abandonment of his family when he was young had caused too deep a wound to his son, and words could no longer heal it.
Now 65-year-old Li Youbin looks back at the trajectory of his life, looking at the smiling face of his youth in the photo, he can't help but be full of remorse. He imagined that if he hadn't chosen to divorce back then, the family might still be living together as before, and his son would happily call him "Dad" instead of looking at each other coldly now.
It's a pity that his wrong choice and obsession eventually led to this painful result.
Li Youbin's marriage lesson is suffocating. Marriage requires a lifetime of care from both parties, and it is not a story that can be concluded in a few words. When something goes wrong, divorce cannot be the first option, reason should not fail, remember the original love and responsibility.
If Li Youbin had been able to restrain his selfish desires at that time, cherish the people in front of him, and work hard to run this family, perhaps the tragedy could have been avoided. He forgets that a home is not only about husband and wife, but also about young children.
The choice of easy divorce has brought deep trauma to the children. Now Li Xiaoke's indifference is the cruel price he decided many years ago.
The tree of marriage needs to be watered and cared for by both parties in order to bear fruit. When the storm comes, it is even more necessary to keep the original intention. Only in this way can the flowers of happiness bloom.
At this moment, let us dedicate our time and love to the people in front of us, and hold up the sky in our lives together.
