As the sun gradually set, the crimson sunset enveloped the whole town, and through the clear window lattice, the remaining warm sunlight gently sprinkled on Shi Liang's face.
At this moment, he slowly closed his eyes, letting the river of time go against the current, and those bright past events like beads appeared in his mind.
Time seems to go back to one early morning decades ago, when Shi Liang was walking aimlessly on the bustling streets of Paris. As an unknown and insignificant actor, he is just one of the many dreamers who have dreams and go to foreign countries to find development opportunities.
The rich aroma of coffee fills the air, and the kapok petals scattered all over the street form a picture of tranquility and harmony.
At such a moment of peace and tranquility, his gaze was deeply attracted by an oriental woman hurrying by with a folder in her arms.
The woman had a delicate and demure countenance, and a quick glance could not hide the firmness and charm on her face.
Shi Liang couldn't help but slow down, secretly marveling at this woman's unique temperament.
And this woman is Cong Shan, a Chinese movie star who is well-known in France.
As strangers, they met and got to know each other in this strange land, and their enthusiasm and pursuit of art naturally resonated with each other.
On that warm and quiet morning, their lives were like two trickles coming together, intertwined into a new chapter.
Although there is a huge difference in the social status of the two, Cong Shan is already a hot first-line actress, while Shi Liang is an unknown newcomer, but this has not stopped their yearning and courage for love.
Just as the spring sun always dispels all the gloom, their love has also broken through all obstacles, and with each other's support and encouragement, it quickly sublimates into a raging fire.
If Shi Liang's life is compared to a wonderful drama, then there is no doubt that he is the most outstanding actor in this play. From an unknown worker to an acclaimed superstar, he has written a legendary story with his unremitting efforts.
The years passed to the 70s of the 20th century, when most people stayed in the stage of youth and ignorance, Shi Liang's heart was already pregnant with the seeds of dreams.
In 1977, with the reactivation of the college entrance examination system in the mainland, this seed finally ushered in the opportunity to break ground.
Although he failed to achieve the expected ideal score in the college entrance examination for the first time, Shi Liang did not give up on himself because of this. He understands that there is no time to lose, so he did not hesitate to lift his spirits, re-examine himself, adjust his preparation strategy, and go all out to fight again.
Unexpectedly, in the following year, Shi Liang finally won the crown of Beijing University of Foreign Chinese as he wished, thus turning the title page of a new chapter in his life.
During the study stage, Shi Liang has always maintained excellent academic performance and never slackened. After graduating, with his extraordinary talent for languages, he was given the rare opportunity to go to France as an exchange student.
It was in that romantic country that Shi Liang met and knew the love of his life, Cong Shan, and since then the fates of the two have been closely intertwined.
Stepping out of the ivory tower-like campus, Shi Liang devoted himself to the field of art without hesitation. Although the road was full of twists and turns, he never wavered in his steadfast pursuit of his dreams.
Along the way, with his indomitable perseverance and outstanding acting talent, his film and television works are all wonderful, and have won the warm pursuit and praise of the audience.
It is especially worth mentioning that the crime-themed TV series "Archive" can be called the most dazzling masterpiece of his career. Shi Liang's image as the host in the play left an indelible impression on the audience.
His unique voice, handsome face and rigorous work attitude instantly attracted the attention of many audiences. This drama not only became an opportunity for Shi Liang to emerge in the film and television industry, but also laid a solid position and far-reaching influence on him in the entertainment industry.
In addition to being an actor, Shi Liang is also a knowledgeable scholar. He holds a Master of Arts degree and a Master of International Business Management degree, demonstrating his breadth of academic attainment.
It is this profound education that injects rich connotations into his acting skills, making every role he plays lifelike and vivid.
Looking back on that arduous journey, Shi Liang is now known as a senior film and television superstar of "Xueba". From ordinary to extraordinary, from unknown to monopolistic, he has written a legendary story with his own perseverance and painted his own picture of life.
Just as their careers were booming, Shi Liang and Cong Shan's married life gradually cracked. Due to the serious imbalance in the career development of both parties, the conflict continued to escalate, and finally ended in divorce, which brought a heavy blow and endless pain to Shi Liang.
When they were newly married, the two were extremely affectionate, like fishes. After Cong Shan has grown into a high-profile first-line actress in the United States, she still gives her husband endless care and care without hesitation, without the slightest arrogant posture.
On the contrary, she takes care of her husband Stone, who is meticulous and caring.
However, at that time, Stone was just a rookie actor who had just entered the film and television industry. But in order to show his respect for his wife, he behaved extremely filial to Cong Shan and obeyed his words.
The relationship between the two is as sweet as honey, and the happiness is incomparable, however, the good times are always short-lived, and as Stone gradually emerges in the film and television industry, his career begins to get on the right track, and the time and energy he devotes to his work are increasing day by day, and his attention to family is also decreasing.
At the same time, Cong Shan, as a professional woman and a mother, has double responsibilities and pressures. Not only does she need to do her best to work her career, but she also has to take on the chores of the family and take care of the baby.
This double pressure made her physically and mentally exhausted.
As a result, the communication between the two became less and less, and the contradictions quietly grew unconsciously. Cong Shan is very dissatisfied with Stone's increasingly aloof attitude, and Stone is angry and helpless at his wife's practice of prioritizing her career over her family.
Their relationship, like a tidal wave on the sea, faded bit by bit, eventually leading to the collapse of the relationship In 1996, when the relationship broke down completely, the two officially announced their divorce, and the marriage came to a regrettable end.
The pain caused by the divorce followed closely like a shadow, making Shi Liang unable to get rid of the shadow for a long time. During that time, he had lost faith in life and hope for the future.
Fortunately, with the encouragement and support of his family and friends, he finally slowly came out of the shadows and regained his courage and fighting spirit in life.
However, the wounds of divorce have not fully healed. It was like an indelible scar, deeply imprinted in the softest place in the depths of Shi Liang's soul, always reminding him of the pain he had had.
Perhaps, this pain will be with him for the rest of his life.
For a long time after the divorce, Shi Liang faced life alone. He threw himself into his career, trying to fill the emptiness in his heart with his busy work.
However, the more this happened, the more he felt how tormenting a lonely life was.
During that time, he indulged in the intense shooting scene and the carefully choreographed repertoire every day, and always maintained a state of concentration on his work.
He was deeply afraid that once he was idle, the negative emotions that had been suppressed for a long time would spring up like a tide.
Even so, when night fell and there was silence, he still suffered from the shadow of loneliness and helplessness. Despite his outstanding achievements in his career, numerous accolades and great wealth, in the final analysis, family, affection and love are indispensable nourishment for every human being.
His beloved son has left his hometown to study, and he is stranded alone in a foreign country, and he has to rely on the care of his close relatives and friends to make ends meet.
As a result, a deep sense of loneliness and loss lingered in his heart, which he could not get rid of. In this way, Shi Liang spent more than ten years alone.
Until one day, the important one in his life quietly walked into his world, which was in a café in a bustling shopping mall, he met the simple and kind woman by chance, and was instantly attracted by the other party's eyes and fell in love.
As an ordinary woman who has nothing to do with the entertainment industry, her enthusiasm, sincerity and frankness immediately touched the depths of Shi Liang's heart. From that moment on, he had a strong belief in regaining a happy life.
He was determined to write a new chapter in his life.
However, starting a new life is not an easy task. Shi Liang knew that his only son might not be able to accept the arrival of this new family member, so he decided to have an in-depth communication with his son first.
At a family gathering, Shi Liang explained his thoughts to his son with great solemnity and sincerity, and for a long time after the divorce, their relationship became estranged for a while.
However, through this warm parent-child conversation, the distance between them was finally alleviated. What made Shi Liang even more relieved was that his son not only expressed understanding, but also supported his decision to restart his family from the bottom of his heart.
Receiving the support of his own flesh and blood undoubtedly gave Shi Liang endless confidence and courage. So, after careful consideration, he finally mustered up the courage to marry this simple and innocent confidant.
Since then, their lives have been filled with endless joy and happiness! As time passed, Shi Liang gradually realized that the value of family to a person is far more than the pursuit of professional achievements and external appearances such as wealth and fame, which is really a priceless treasure.
