Preamble:
Why is she lonely and happy?
Wang Qianhua, an actress who has never belonged to the "main theme" of the entertainment industry, has a mediocre appearance and a round figure, always giving people a sense of simplicity and unpretentiousness.
She has also experienced ups and downs on her acting career, and has repeatedly failed to do so, but she has also gained a little luck in her career along the way.
When she was young, she once fantasized that there would be a vigorous love, but the reality was always cruel.
Until she was 41 years old and ushered in the second spring of her life, this time, she finally did not let happiness pass by.
Substitute actor who has been "returned" many times
In the 90s of the 20th century, Wang Qianhua graduated from the Academy of Drama and was full of longing for her acting career.
She aspires to be a great actress and show off her acting skills on stage.
For this reason, Wang Qianhua is diligent and studious in the academy, and constantly enriches her acting skills.
On the day of graduation, she stepped into the door of the entertainment industry with apprehension and anticipation.
Unexpectedly, Wang Qianhua was favored by the famous director Jiang Wen and was selected as the heroine of his new play! For a fledgling young actor, this is undoubtedly the biggest opportunity.
She burst into tears with excitement and her heart was stirring.
All the hardships since entering the industry have all come to naught at this moment.
Wang Qianhua secretly vowed that she must seize the opportunity and repay Jiang Wen's kindness with her excellent acting skills.
However, the good times did not last long, and when the original heroine and aura actress Mei Ting returned to the team, Wang Qianhua had to leave in disgrace.
Only then did she suddenly realize that she was just a temporary "substitute".
The long-awaited performance opportunity slipped through her fingers like this, and Wang Qianhua was grief-stricken.
She asked herself unwillingly, why did I lose the opportunity to perform as soon as Mei Ting came back?
The blow of the first failure made Wang Qianhua sad, and she secretly vowed to prove herself with superb acting skills.
So she began to study acting more diligently, often practicing alone in front of the mirror.
Finally, Wang Qianhua got another opportunity to be a heroine, she was full of confidence, and she must not fail again this time.
But this time her role was replaced by the director.
Unexpectedly, she became a "substitute" twice in a row, and Wang Qianhua was very annoyed.
Why is there always someone more suitable for the role than myself? Obviously, the acting skills are already in place.
She can't help but be confused about her acting career.
It's better to return to the theater to hone your strength, she told herself.
The bitterness and loneliness of married life
Wang Qianhua, who has been working hard, has received unexpected surprises emotionally.
One day, she was drinking at a bar with her friends, and she wanted to drink to drown her sorrows, but she didn't expect to meet her sweetheart.
A personable gentleman, Zhou Jing, took the initiative to talk, and the two hit it off.
Zhou Jing is an international student who has returned from school, gentle and elegant, and Wang Qianhua quickly fell in love with him.
This is exactly what she has always longed for.
She took the initiative to pursue, but she didn't expect Zhou Jing to accept it.
So the two began dating.
At first, Wang Qianhua and Zhou Jing's relationship was as sweet as sugar.
Zhou Jing has lived abroad for many years and is well-informed, and Wang Qianhua often listens to him tell anecdotes about foreign countries, which are fresh and interesting.
The two began to talk about marriage.
Wang Qianhua fantasized about a good married life, and she even imagined herself sitting in front of Zhou Jing and peeling oranges for him.
As long as you are with your sweetheart, even if your life is simple, it is worth cherishing.
However, after marriage, Wang Qianhua gradually discovered the problem.
Zhou Jing has always lived his own way of life and adhered to the "AA system", and Wang Qianhua didn't mind.
At first, she thought, it was a sign of respect for each other.
But as time went by, the gap between the two became bigger and bigger.
Zhou Jing never concealed his indifference, and did not agree with Wang Qianhua's filming development, and the relationship between husband and wife became increasingly estranged.
Wang Qianhua realized that Zhou Jing's feelings for her have always been very weak, and she is just habitually dependent.
She began to wonder if she was too idealistic about married life.
Time passed in indifference, and gradually, Wang Qianhua felt the boredom and bitterness of life.
This marriage is just her own contribution, but Zhou Jing's feelings for her have always been cold.
When Wang Qianhua made up her mind to fight for her career, she didn't take her pregnant body to heart.
Ending this imaginary marriage seems to be more important than anything else.
From the moment she walked out of the hospital with the test sheet, she was ready to break up.
Yet it still stirred up unspeakable pain in her heart.
After giving birth to an abortion, Wang Qianhua inevitably fell into depression and loneliness.
In this way, Wang Qianhua ushered in the first low period of her life in the intertwining of career frustration and emotional setbacks.
Playing as a rural woman, her career has taken a turn for the better
Fortunately, in 2002, Wang Qianhua came across an opportunity to play a rural woman.
On this day, she was waiting listlessly in the company.
Suddenly, the assistant came to say that the director wanted to see her, she thought it was a routine, but she didn't expect the director to ask her to play the role of a rural woman in the new play.
At first, Wang Qianhua didn't have much expectations, and the role of a rural woman did not have high acting requirements.
But the director carefully analyzed the character's personality, background, fate, etc., and she also felt that this role was quite interesting after listening to it.
What's more, she didn't have any better resources now, so she nodded and took it, and threw herself into the role.
Unexpectedly, this inconspicuous character eventually became Wang Qianhua's masterpiece.
As soon as this play was broadcast, she immediately became popular all over the country and was affectionately called "the first sister in the countryside" by the audience.
Wang Qianhua was also surprised, it turned out that the public preferred this kind of unpretentious role.
Since then, she is no longer obsessed with external conditions or the weight of the play, but has devoted herself to studying acting skills and playing the image of more and more rural women.
Perhaps it is Wang Qianhua's unpretentious appearance and plump body shape that fit the image of a rural woman.
This has become the peak of her career since filming.
After the setback, she no longer struggled with her own conditions, but concentrated on acting.
It is this hard work that has allowed Wang Qianhua to gradually gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry, and her career has finally ushered in the spring season.
Chasing her husband for thousands of miles, remarrying at an advanced age
In 2009, 41-year-old Wang Qianhua met a director Shen Hang who shared his interests.
Shen Hang is gentle and elegant, and from his words and deeds, Wang Qianhua found the longing for love in his youth.
So she decisively took the initiative to confess her heart to Shen Hang.
Unexpectedly, this middle-aged woman with white hair received a sincere response from the director.
The process was difficult, they were separated and reunited, but in the end they all chose to accompany each other.
Wang Qianhua and Shen Hang are both people who have been in the entertainment industry for many years, and they also have a lot of experience in relationships.
At first, both men had the attitude of giving it a try.
Wang Qianhua is also more realistic, she no longer has beautiful fantasies about love like when she was young.
As long as the two of them are happy when they get along, it is enough, as for the future...... Just let it develop naturally.
However, the longer they get along, the closer the bond between Wang Qianhua and Shen Hang becomes.
Wang Qianhua found that Shen Hang's personality had a deep and mature charm, which was exactly what she liked.
Shen Hang didn't mind her middle-aged figure, he just cared about her health gently.
The mutual affection again and again made the relationship between the two warm up day by day.
Perhaps, sincere love knows no age.
Wang Qianhua finally mustered up the courage to confess to Shen Hang
Through this split and merger, Wang Qianhua gradually looked down on her feelings and no longer had too high expectations for the result.
As long as the two of them are happy when they meet, let the rest develop naturally.
Gradually, the time spent together became longer and longer, and the bond between them became deeper and deeper.
Wang Qianhua found that Shen Hang's personality had a deep charm, which was exactly the type she liked.
At the age of 41, Wang Qianhua entered the palace of marriage again.
Life after marriage is as plain as water, but it is also sweet.
Wang Qianhua no longer worries about the trivialities of life, she enjoys the joy of taking care of her family.
Shen Hang also cared about her meticulously, and this sincere love made her feel at ease.
Although she is no longer young, she is also happy.
Giving birth at an advanced age is a lot of wear and tear on a woman's body, and Wang Qianhua has no plans to run for her career anymore.
Instead, focus more on taking care of the family.
When her daughter was born, Wang Qianhua experienced unprecedented joy.
She happily picked up the baby, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.
This is the crystallization of her and Shen Hang's love, and she will take care of her with all her love.
Epilogue:
The story of Wang Qianhua and Shen Hang has been circulating in the circle, and many people have sent blessings to this couple who have crossed age boundaries.
Unexpectedly, the actress who has been "returned" many times finally reaped such sweet happiness.
Perhaps, it was those past storms that made her strong today.
This also makes people have to admire, God is always fair, even if you stumble, happiness will eventually knock on the door.
In the difficult land of the entertainment industry, Wang Qianhua exchanged her persistence for a small fortune in her career.
And on the road of feelings, she finally lived up to her sincerity.
Today, she has a successful career and a happy family.
The failures and setbacks of the past are no longer thorns in her heart, they have turned into the spice of her happy life now, reminding her to be grateful forever.
Perhaps life needs these ups and downs to feel fulfilled and lucky when we reach the top of the mountain.
