Preface
Can the magic of love really change a person's outlook on life?
How did a relationship that lasted for 18 years come to fruition?
Let's look at the story of Hu Yaozhi and Zhang Lingxin, the on-screen couple.
Love at first sight: the budding of teacher-student love
In 1995, Beijing Film Academy.
Hu Yaozhi, who is only 26 years old, is already a well-known young teacher in the college.
He is calm on the outside and fanatical on the inside, and his passion for the film industry has attracted the attention of many students.
Among them, there is Zhang Lingxin, a freshman who has just entered the school.
18-year-old Zhang Lingxin is the age when love first blossoms.
She has a flamboyant personality and is eager to shine on the road of acting.
By chance, she saw Hu Yaozhi's lecture, and his talent and charm instantly captured the girl's heart.
Zhang Lingxin began to deliberately approach the young teacher, and Hu Yaozhi was also keenly aware of her thoughts.
Reason told him that teacher-student love is taboo, and the 12-year-old age difference is an even more difficult gap to cross.
But in the face of Zhang Lingxin's enthusiasm and persistence, Hu Yaozhi's heart has quietly changed.
In teaching, Hu Yaozhi is a notoriously strict teacher.
Being late, slacking off, was not allowed in his class.
But Zhang Lingxin just went his own way and often challenged his bottom line.
Unexpectedly, Hu Yaozhi did not get angry, but admired this maverick girl more and more.
In Zhang Lingxin's eyes, Hu Yaozhi gradually faded from the coat of a teacher and became a young man who loves movies and pursues his dreams.
In the hall of drama, two young hearts gradually approached.
However, the obstacles of reality make this budding feeling unable to find an outlet.
Teacher-student status, age gap, opposition from relatives and friends...... There are many difficulties, so that Hu Yaozhi chooses to bury love in his heart.
But Zhang Lingxin made up her mind to work hard for this feeling.
Bumpy Path: A Test of Reality
1997, an ordinary day.
20-year-old Zhang Lingxin plucked up the courage to confess his heart to Hu Yaozhi.
The girl's sincere emotions melted the last ice of Hu Yaozhi.
He decided to go to the future with this stubborn girl.
However, the cruelty of reality soon gave them a blow to the head.
Faced with the doubts of "teacher" and "teacher-student love", Zhang Lingxin's career was affected.
And Hu Yaozhi is also under pressure from all sides.
The opposition of relatives and friends made this relationship withstand the first test.
And the bigger test is still to come.
Zhang Lingxin, who is free by nature, is eager to spread his wings on the road of acting.
Marriage and family are all constraints in her eyes.
However, Hu Yaozhi has a traditional family view, and he hopes to form a warm little family with his lover.
The difference in ideas caused a rift in the relationship between the two.
From 2005 to 2014, Hu Yaozhi's three marriage proposals were rejected by Zhang Lingxin.
For nine years, he waited hard, but he never waited for Zhang Lingxin's reply.
45-year-old Hu Yaozhi saw that his youth was gone, and his hair was graying.
He was still waiting, waiting for a wedding that might never come.
Stress, anxiety, he couldn't breathe.
And Zhang Lingxin fell into unprecedented confusion.
She loves Hu Yaozhi, but the identities of "wife" and "mother" make her feel that she can't breathe.
How can the wings of freedom be bound in this way?
Love to the end, can you continue to walk? Fate once again tested this pair of infatuated men and women.
Broken mirror reunion: love you, just wait for you
Just when the relationship was about to be broken, fate gave them another turnaround.
In 2013, Tokyo, an unexpected night.
On the streets of Tokyo, Hu Yaozhi and Zhang Lingxin accidentally witnessed a husband and wife quarreling.
The husband was furious, the wife was weeping, and their children were crying helplessly.
At that moment, Hu Yaozhi rushed up, hugged the child tightly in his arms, and gently soothed the injured little heart.
Zhang Lingxin looked at this scene blankly, and a hanging heart fell to the ground in an instant.
She suddenly understood that this man would be such a good father.
How many precious moments has she missed all the time?
Tears, unconsciously, blurred eyes.
That night, Zhang Lingxin made a decision.
She wants to let go of the fear in her heart, love bravely, and give Hu Yaozhi a complete home.
In the spring of 2014, the sun was shining.
Hu Yaozhi's fourth marriage proposal.
This time, he completely handed over his true heart to Zhang Lingxin.
20 years of long-distance love, just like that, ushered in a perfect end.
From the campus to the marriage hall, they held hands and stumbled, but never let go of each other.
The love between two people has opened a new chapter.
From young and ignorant to mature and steady, from passionate to long-term, Hu Yaozhi and Zhang Lingxin use their way to interpret "love is the best look".
The crystallization of love: meet a better self
In May 2016, another unexpected struck.
Zhang Lingxin is pregnant.
When the news came, both families were boiling.
This crystallization of love, which has been brewing for 20 years, carries everyone's hopes and blessings.
The process of giving birth to life made Zhang Lingxin feel for the first time how difficult and great it is to be a mother.
Hu Yaozhi accompanied her throughout the whole process and took care of her carefully, which made her feel unprecedented warmth.
When the baby's cry sounded, the family of three hugged each other tightly, tears intertwined.
They know that life has turned a new page.
Since then, Hu Yaozhi and Zhang Lingxin have a new identity: parents.
They begin to learn how to take care of their children and how to be good parents.
For the sake of the child, Zhang Lingxin slowed down the pace of his career, and Hu Yaozhi became a complete "daughter slave".
As children grow, they are also growing.
They understand that love is not only romantic, but also more than anything else.
And these ordinary happiness is the truest way of life.
In 2018, the TV series "Bone Language" directed by Hu Yaozhi and starring Zhang Lingxin was on the air, making the screen couple the focus again.
On and off the screen, they are still enviable golden boys and girls, tacit lovers.
However, life is never easy.
Zhang Lingxin sacrificed her career for the sake of her family and often felt lost and confused.
"Am I being selfish? "
And Hu Yaozhi can always give support and encouragement at the right time: "Fool, you are not selfish, you are just pursuing your dreams."
I will always support you and be your strongest backing. "
In this way, with each other's support, they set out anew to find a new balance on the path of career and family.
Love gives them the strength to become a better version of themselves.
epilogue
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, their love has gone through 28 years.
From the young and ignorant student days, to the married life of the year of establishment, and then to the year of not being confused by knowing the destiny of heaven, they held hands and walked all the way.
As my son grows up, he sometimes asks curiously, "Mom and Dad, why are you together?"
Hu Yaozhi and Zhang Lingxin looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of memories: "Because we believe that as long as we love each other enough, there is no hurdle that we can't pass." "
Yes, 28 years, 10,220 days and nights, they walked through each other's lives.
There are laughter, tears, passion, and blandness.
But what remains unchanged is the consistent love.
