On a TV show, Jia Ling, a comedy star known for her funny, talks about her late mother with tears in her eyes.
She choked up and said: "Since my mother left us, even if I stand on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala,
Even if I live a happy life, no matter what I achieve, there is always a hole in my heart that is difficult to fill.
In the dead of night, I always think of my mother's absence and my world has lost a lot of joy.
And in this tragedy, Jia Ling's father Jia Wentian is also painful.
After the death of his wife, his sideburns seemed to be gray overnight, and his health deteriorated. ”
After the family suffered such a huge blow, it was Jia Dan, Jia Ling's sister, who stepped forward and became a strong support for the family.
Since then, the trajectory of the family's life has changed dramatically.
Jia Wentian once said helplessly and sadly: "I am most sorry for my eldest daughter Jia Dan. ”
Why does Jia Wentian have such an exclamation? What is the life of Jia Ling's family like now?
In the sixties and seventies of the last century, the love story of Jia Wentian and Li Huanying was like a sweet melody.
Their meeting is the beautiful epitome of free love in that era.
Both of them are ordinary workers in the Xiangyang chemical plant in Hubei Province, and they often look up and don't look down.
As time passed, the two interacted more and more frequently, and their mutual understanding deepened.
Love is like a flower in spring, quietly blooming in their hearts.
Soon after, they decided to walk into the palace of marriage hand in hand and became an integral part of each other's lives.
Soon after their marriage, they welcomed their first daughter, named Jia Dan.
Jadan's arrival has brought infinite joy and hope to this small family.
Five years later, Li Huanying became pregnant again, and this time, they welcomed their second daughter, named Jia Ling.
Jia Ling's birth made this loving family more complete and warm.
Jia Dan and Jia Ling are often in the living room at home, quietly doing their own things.
Although the family is poor, the laughter of the sisters always fills this small space.
Jia Dan, five years older than her sister, is the eldest sister in the family.
She always looked at Jia Ling silently from the sidelines, and secretly vowed to protect this little sister who was always full of energy and loved to laugh.
"Are you watching "Quyuan Miscellaneous Altar" again?" Jia Dan asked Jia Ling with a smile, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Yes, sister, I like the sketches and cross talk in it so much, and I want to grow up and be like them. ”
Jia Ling said as she imitated the performers on TV, sometimes imitating bird calls, sometimes pretending to play wind instruments.
One morning, Jia Ling's "bird call" woke up her mother Li Huanying, who was still asleep.
She walked into Jia Ling's room in a daze and saw her daughter learning birdsong intently outside the window.
"What are you doing here?" asked Li Huanying, her tone mixed with doubt and tenderness.
"Mom, I'm learning bird calls, isn't it very similar?" Jia Ling smiled proudly.
Li Huanying smiled: "It's really like, I thought it was a real bird." ”

Such a talent makes Jia Dan firmly believe that his sister's future should not be limited by this.
So, she decided to take Jia Ling to meet an acting teacher, hoping to pave the way for her sister's future.
"Follow the teacher and study hard, and you will definitely become a great performer. Jadan encouraged his sister.
Jia Ling nodded wistfully, her eyes full of expectations and dreams for the future.
A few years later, Jia Ling was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama, but the family's financial situation made the good news heavy.
At that time, Jia Dan had already become a TV host, but she was motivated since she was a child, and she was also admitted to the media school that year.
Their father, Jia Wentian, was an ordinary worker.
At the moment, we are faced with a heartbreaking reality: two smart and clever daughters, but not enough money for them to get a better education.
In the dead of night, he would lie in bed, his heart full of powerlessness and struggle, thinking about how to balance this bowl of water so that his two daughters would not be wronged.
"It's not a way to go on like this, I have to find a way. Jia Wentian said to his wife Li Huanying, his voice full of determination and anxiety.
Jia Dan stood quietly at the door, listening to her father's words, and her heart was also quietly making a decision.
She knew the situation at home, and looking at her sister Jia Ling's sad face every day, an inexplicable strength surged in her heart.
One night, as the whole family sat around the dining table, Jia Dan took a deep breath and suddenly spoke: "Mom and Dad, I have decided, I will not go to college."
I have a job at a TV station, and that's enough. My sister is more talented than me, and she should go to college. ”
Li Huanying and Jia Wentian were shocked, and Jia Wentian's eyes flashed with tears: "Dandan, you ......"
"Dad, it's my own choice. I don't want my sister to lose that opportunity. ”
Jia Dan's voice was firm and calm, but there was a deep reluctance hidden in his eyes.
Jia Ling sat quietly on the side, listening to her sister's words, and her heart was full of emotion.
She knew the weight of the sacrifice, and her heart was filled with gratitude and guilt.
"Sister, I will definitely live up to your expectations. ”
Jia Ling secretly swore in her heart.
She cherishes every minute and every second of study time, and spends every penny extremely frugally, with only one thought in her heart: she must repay her sister's great kindness in the future.
Just as the family was working hard for their daughter's future, a misfortune struck.
The sudden death of her mother, Li Huanying, brought an even greater blow to this already difficult family.
On an ordinary day in 2001, Jia Wentian drove a dump truck full of straw on a country road.
His wife, Li Huanying, sat on a straw pile and prepared to work in the fields full of hope.
However, fate took a dramatic turn - an inadvertent jolt, the straw shook like a wave, and Lee Huanying lost her balance and fell off the high straw pile.
The head hit the ground first, and everything happened so fast that Jia Wentian didn't have time to reach out to help.
At this time, their daughter Jia Dan was busy in the unit.
Receiving this sudden bad news, her heart was like a knife, and she rushed to the hospital in a panic.
The atmosphere in the hospital was heavy and oppressive, and the doctor's eyes revealed an ominous omen.
Jadan stumbled into the hospital room, only to see a white sheet covering his mother's body, and the cold walls seemed to tell the unforgiving reality.
Refusing to accept the brutal truth, Jadan jerked away from the doctor next to him and rushed to his mother's bedside.
She shook her hands and lifted the sheets, and at that moment, her world seemed to have lost all color.
Li Huanying's face was pale, without a trace of blood, and her eyes were empty and silent, as if she had been cut off from this world.
"Mom, wake up, Ling'er hasn't come back yet, you can't just leave us like this!"
Jadan burst into tears, her voice mixed with despair and pleading.
But her mother could no longer answer her call.
She dialed her sister Jia Ling's phone tremblingly, her voice choked and eager.
When Jia Ling rushed to the hospital, everything was a foregone conclusion.
Li Huanying's body was sent to the crematorium, while their father, Jia Wentian, was crushed by deep self-blame and grief.
Overnight, his hair turned gray, his health deteriorated dramatically, and he no longer had the strength to go out to work.
Since then, the burden of the family has fallen on the shoulders of Jia Dan.
Not only does she have to take care of her frail father, but she also has to work hard to financially support her sister's studies. Every step was difficult.
In the shadow of her family, Jia Ling's heart was also shaken and she thought about giving up her dream.
Every time, Jia Dan silently supported her behind her back, soothing her soul with gentle and firm words: "Even if the sky falls, my sister will hold up a piece of the sky for you." You just need to concentrate on your studies and I'll take care of the rest. ”
With the unremitting encouragement of her sister, Jia Ling completed her studies in Chinese opera.
When he graduated, Jia Dan traveled around to find a stable job for his sister.
But Jia Ling insisted on her dream and chose to stay in Beijing, facing the unforgiving reality of having no background, no connections, and life was so difficult that even the rent became a heavy burden.
In the dead of night, Jia Ling only dared to sneak out of the door to avoid the landlord who was chasing the rent.
And Jia Dan, the elder sister who is far away from her hometown, understands the hardships of her sister in Beijing.
She cut back on food and clothing, sending most of her meager monthly income to Beijing, fully supporting her sister's dreams.
Time passed quickly, and Jia Ling's life in Beijing was not satisfactory.
She even chose to gain weight and sacrifice her image in order to get more opportunities.
Knowing this, Jia Dan's heart seemed to have gained 40 pounds, and the heavy pain and worry were indescribable.
Fame seems to have become an unattainable fantasy.
Jia Ling is still wandering the streets and alleys of Beijing, looking for that glimmer of life.
Jia Dan watched his sister grow old day by day, and the anxiety in his heart was like fire, and he even asked Jia Ling's teacher Feng Gong for help, hoping to persuade his sister back.
Finally, in 2010, because of "Big Talk", Jia Ling ushered in a turning point and stepped on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
She sent a text message to her father: "Lao Jia, wait for the Spring Festival Gala to see your daughter." ”
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Jia Wentian burst into tears, staring intently at his daughter on the TV screen, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This child, it's too bitter, he finally got out." ”
At the other end, Jadan also burst into tears in front of the TV. She watched her sister's brief stage performance, and the pressure in her heart seemed to have finally been released.
Jia Ling's fame gradually grew, but as a comedian, she constantly faced high demands from the audience and various criticisms on the Internet.
In the face of doubts and slander, Jia Ling is often so sad that she can't speak.
In these difficult times, Jia Dan, who is far away from home, has become her only support.
After years of baptism, Jia Ling gradually became stronger and has today's achievements.
And all of this is inseparable from the family members who are silently supported behind her - especially her sister.
In Jia Ling's wandering years, Jia Dan has always been the pillar of the family, silently guarding her elderly father.
She knew her father's loneliness since the death of her mother, so she often brought her husband and children home to accompany her.
Whenever she found that there were few new clothes in her father's closet, she would take him into the bustling city to choose clothes that would fit, and at the same time let him feel the changes in the outside world.
When night fell, Jadan always carefully massaged his father's tired shoulders and legs, and gently washed his feet.
It wasn't until she saw her father sleeping peacefully that she would return to her home lightly, full of responsibility and warmth.
In Jia Wentian's eyes, every contribution of the eldest daughter Jia Dan is as precious as a pearl.
He often said to Jia Dan with guilt: "Son, Dad is really sorry for you, you work so hard, if Dad is more capable, you don't have to work so hard." ”
The indebtedness and gratitude in his heart made him cry from time to time.
Jia Dan always comforted his father with gentle words: "Dad, if I had gone to college at that time, we might not have discovered Ling'er's talent." I have never regretted my choice. ”
On that day, the father and daughter hugged tightly, tears mixed with emotion and strength slipped.
When Jia Ling's name shined on the Spring Festival Gala, her career also climbed.
She did not forget the support and dedication of her family, and generously distributed the money she earned to her sister and father.
So that the family finally got out of poverty.
Later, in order to commemorate her deceased mother, Jia Ling created the affectionate work "Hello, Li Huanying", which was first a sketch and then a movie.
This film touched the hearts of countless people and made the audience feel the greatness and depth of maternal love.
When the box office of the movie exceeded 5 billion, Jia Ling, as a director for the first time, made remarkable achievements.
Her sister Jia Dan was extremely relieved by this, and she wanted to express her blessings to her sister.
However, the storm of the Internet swept in suddenly.
Criticism and criticism poured in, with many accusing Jia Ling of being too deliberate in her references to her mother.
These voices shot like sharp arrows at Jia Ling's fragile heart, depriving her of the right to publicly express her feelings for her mother.
Knowing his sister's grievances, Jia Dan took Jia Ling back home without hesitation.
In the warm embrace of home, Jia Dan comforted her sister softly: "You did nothing wrong, miss your mother, love your mother, all this is emotional instinct." We just need to be our true selves. ”
As the years passed, Jia Ling had entered the age of 41 and still chose to live a single life.
Jia Wentian never urged his daughter's marriage, and always remembered his wife Li Huanying's last wish: "As long as my daughter is healthy and happy, it is the best." ”
Although Jia Wentian's life is full of flavors, he still hides deep pain in his heart: failing to protect his wife and failing to let his eldest daughter receive a better education.
Despite the heartache, Jia Wentian always regarded his two daughters as his greatest pride.
With the end of the story, we saw that the life of Jia Ling's family was like a warm picture, slowly unfolding in front of our eyes.
In this family, every effort and sacrifice is soaked in deep love.
The perseverance and selflessness of her sister Jia Dan, the understanding and support of her father Jia Wentian, and Jia Ling's persistent pursuit of her dreams and her deep affection for her mother have all woven the immortal legend of this family.
Life was not always smooth, and they experienced challenges and difficulties, but they never lost their love and support for each other.
In this family, we see the strength of strength and the courage to continue to grow in the face of adversity.
They use their actions to interpret what is the warmth of the family and what is the selfless love.
No matter how hard life is, as long as there is love, there is hope.
The mutual support and understanding between family members is our most valuable asset in this complex world.
In this loving family, everyone is each other's guardian and faces the ups and downs of life together.
