Back in 1966, in an ordinary and warm family in Beijing, Zhang Qiufang, the youthful and sunny, beautiful and charming woman was born. At that time, she was full of love for the dream of flight attendant, however, due to the strong opposition of her family, she had to give up this passion.
However, fate seems to have played a good-natured little joke at this moment - in the process of accompanying her cousin to participate in the art examination, she stood out from many competitors with her outstanding talent and outstanding performance, and successfully entered the Railway Art Troupe Repertory Troupe. Zhang Qiufang, who was only 17 years old, was a little immature and confused, and met Fu Biao, who was three years older than him, for the first time in the group. When she first met, she was deeply attracted to this simple and kind man.
And Fu Biao was also moved by this beautiful and moving woman. So, the two young people supported each other on the stage and grew together, and as time went by, their feelings gradually warmed up, and the deep emotions in their hearts became stronger.
However, they are all introverted and shy people, and they have never been able to express their heartfelt words bravely. It wasn't until one day that their performance came to a perfect end, and the unit canteen had long been closed and there was nowhere to find food, that they were forced to choose to eat out.
On the way, Fu Biao, a simple and honest man, forgot to carry enough cash, so he could only watch Zhang Qiufang finish tasting the delicious fried sea cucumber with green onions he ordered.
This slightly awkward dinner experience brought their hearts and minds closer. Zhang Qiufang was moved by Fu Biao's sincerity and simplicity, while Fu Biao was attracted by Zhang Qiufang's beauty and gentleness. Since that day, a simple and warm love story has quietly unfolded.
However, in 2003, just as Zhang Qiufang's career was in full swing, a sudden bad news shattered her originally happy life like a thunderbolt from the sky. Fu Biao, her husband, was rushed to the hospital for examination shortly after completing the filming of the movie "No Thieves in the World" when he suddenly felt severe pain in his right lower abdomen.
The results of the examination ruthlessly revealed that he was suffering from advanced liver cancer! This is the result of a long period of chaotic work and excessive drinking as a salesman, and now it has finally exploded.
When Zhang Qiufang learned of this cruel truth, she almost fell into a collapse, and her inner world collapsed in an instant, as if the entire sky was about to collapse.
However, after a brief loss, she quickly adjusted her mind and firmly decided to stay by her husband's side. In order not to worry her husband too much, she chose to hide the truth of her illness and face this seemingly invincible disaster with her relatives and friends.
During this period, Zhang Qiufang, with her unwavering perseverance and dedication, selflessly cared for her ailing husband for two years. Faced with two major surgeries and the plight of almost depleting the family's savings, the disease still shows no signs of improving, and every day seems to be a countdown to the inexorable passage of life. Her heart is full of endless hesitation and pain, but her husband Fu Biao, who is in love with each other, has always been deeply concerned about the future of his wife and children.
However, the injustice of fate did not end there. On August 30, 2005, this heart-wrenching day, Fu Biao finally passed away after a long struggle against cancer, bidding farewell to his beloved family and friends forever. left his wife Zhang Qiufang and 14-year-old son Fu Zien, and since then they have lost the pillars of the family.
After Fu Biao's death, Zhang Qiufang fell into deep despair, as if lost in a dark abyss. Day after day, night after night, she immersed herself in the memories of the past, watching the videos of the film and television dramas and programs she had co-starred with her husband, and tears welled up, as if her husband was still by her side, but he was forever away from her.
However, on a silent night, Zhang Qiufang found her son Fu Zien sitting alone in a rocking chair at home, and the lonely figure looked so desolate in the moonlight. Her heart was instantly occupied by a tearing pain, and tears rushed uncontrollably again.
"Cong Cong. She whispered to her son's nickname, her voice so faint that she could barely hear it. Fourteen-year-old Fu Zien lifted his tear-stained eyes, which shone with maturity and sadness.
"Mom, Dad will be watching us in heaven, and he wants us to be strong to live. Although he is gone, you and I, the three of us, will be together forever. ”
This passage from the mouth of his son was like an alarm bell, suddenly ringing in Zhang Qiufang's heart. It dawned on her that, as a wife and mother, she had to pick herself up and bravely carry the burden. She can no longer let herself indulge in grief, and she still has her son and in-laws who need her care.
Faced with a huge debt of up to 1.2 million yuan and a loan that was about to mature, she decided to take responsibility for repayment on her own. With the full support of her friends, she successfully acted as an agent for the products of a well-known footwear brand, and opened more than 30 branches across the country in just one year, and her career gradually got on the right track.
Mr. Fu Biao's highest expectation in life is to hope that his son Fu Zien can go to the UK to study. For the sake of this ideal blueprint, when Fu Zien completed his secondary school studies, Ms. Zhang Qiufang resolutely decided to send him overseas for further study, and did not hesitate to take on a 600,000 yuan study abroad loan.
However, seeing his mother's tired and tearful eyes, Fu Zien felt endless self-blame in his heart. He made up his mind that from the following year onwards, he would no longer ask his mother for any living expenses, but would share his mother's financial pressure by earning income through his own pen.
It is precisely because of his son's maturity and filial piety that Zhang Qiufang has great spiritual support and motivation.
After losing her beloved husband, Zhang Qiufang once fell into deep pain, and her body became increasingly thin and emaciated. However, it was her son Fu Zien's touching words at the funeral that awakened her confused heart and rekindled her courage and hope for survival.
"My father was finally able to unload his burden and get a complete rest. We should not grieve over his passing, his life was full of kindness and justice. Fu Zien's tone was deep, and his choked words revealed firm conviction.
These words from his son's mouth were like a shot in the arm, causing ripples in Zhang Qiufang's heart. She realized that during those days when he needed his mother's love the most, her son showed maturity and wisdom beyond his years, which was undoubtedly a great motivation and strength for her.
Indeed, although the husband has passed away, the life bond of their family of three is forever connected. I can't just give up, I must live strong for the sake of my son, my in-laws, and my deceased husband.
Zhang Qiufang recalled that over the years, her husband's deep affection for the family and sincere kindness to relatives and friends. Therefore, when he was seriously ill, his friends generously donated money and extended a helping hand.
Looking back on the past, she and her husband went through the ups and downs together in those years and moved forward hand in hand. Although her husband is introverted, his meticulous care for his family makes her remember it for life.
In the face of heavy debts, he never lost faith and remained enthusiastic about others. It was this positive attitude that brought their family through that difficult time in the end.
Today, a refreshed Zhang Qiufang has deeply realized that although her husband's death has brought her deep grief, it has also revealed the way forward for her. As a wife, it is her responsibility to ensure that her husband is carefree in heaven, and as a mother, she should redouble her efforts and determination to live and raise her children for her husband with all her heart.
