1. Prologue: The romantic grand occasion of Hu Jun's proposal to Lu Fang
Back in the glorious autumn of 1999, a couple sat by the famous Wishing Fountain in the ancient Roman town of Rome, Italy, gazing affectionately at each other to catch the attention of passers-by.
I saw the man named Hu Jun, in a solemn and romantic way, kneeling on one knee, holding a large bouquet of delicate red roses in his hand, and looking firmly at the woman he loved, Lu Fang.
Before the people around him could recover from the shock, Hu Jun had already made a vow to his wife, Lu Fang, in his deep and passionate voice.
"Fangfang, our love is like an eternal star, are you willing to spend the rest of your life with me?"
Although they have already entered the palace of marriage, Hu Jun's love for Lu Fang has never diminished, but has become stronger. Many of the visitors present were touched by this touching scene and stopped to gather around to cheer for their happiness.
Lu Fang was also obviously moved by Hu Jun's bravery and romance, and her cheeks flushed with shyness. She gently took the bouquet of roses, her eyes glistening with tears, and replied affectionately: I do, our love should be like the protagonist in "The Marriage of Figaro", tenacious and unswerving.
Hearing this, Hu Jun was overjoyed and immediately hugged Lu Fang tightly, and the two enjoyed the best moment of their lives on the bustling streets of Rome. When the sun gradually set, Lu Fang excitedly dialed the phone of her hometown mother to pass on this exciting news to her relatives in the distance.
His mother humorously joked that she should have made Hu Jun wait another three months before agreeing to his proposal, and Lu Fang replied with a smile: "I'm worried that he will change his mind." ”
2. Flashback to the first acquaintance of the two
Compared with Hu Jun's superior family background, Lu Fang was born in an ordinary small city family. Her parents, both of whom were well-known members of the local choir, nurtured Lu Fang's interest in art and culture from an early age.
Later, with her outstanding talent, she was successfully admitted to the Central Academy of Drama where Hu Jun was located and became his younger sister. However, due to the large age gap, the two did not communicate much during their time at school.
3. Insert the love process of the two
In the process of cooperation, Hu Jun and Lu Fang gradually discovered that they had one thing in common with each other - their love and dedication to the theater career. Whenever they talk about theatrical theory, they always talk eloquently and have a unique point of view, as if they have found a soulmate.
It is this common ideal and pursuit that allows them to gradually cultivate a deep affection for theatrical performances and daily life.
Hu Jun was deeply immersed in Lu Fang's energetic and passionate, uninhibited and sincere and kind personality. Similarly, Lu Fang was also conquered by Hu Jun's endless love and perseverance for artistic creation, which in her heart is where Hu Jun's unique style shines.
As time passed, a deep affection gradually developed between the two.
In the four-year relationship, in order to get closer to Lu Fang, Hu Jun carefully planned various romantic and chic dates. Sometimes it's dinner and a drink, sometimes it's a get-together, and sometimes it's a party with friends.
Unconsciously, Hu Jun became interested in Lu Fang's bold and unrestrained personality and unique appreciation for fine wine.
Once in the barbecue restaurant, the two of them saluted me and drank a full 16 bottles of beer, but they were not drunk at all. Facing this "extraordinary" drunkard, Hu Jun secretly sighed in his heart: "It's her!"
After four years of getting along and getting along with each other and understanding deeply, Hu Jun's love for Lu Fang became stronger and stronger. He admired her straightforward, open-minded and enthusiastic personality, and was even more moved by her firm belief and unremitting pursuit of art.
In 1999, on the world-famous Roman Forum, Hu Jun made a romantic decision to propose to Lu Fang, and took this opportunity to conclude an eternal marriage vow with her.
At that moment, Hu Jun knelt on one knee, holding a delicate red rose in his hand, and stared at Lu Fang affectionately. Passers-by stopped one after another to watch this romantic moment, with thunderous applause and cheers.
Lu Fang was deeply moved, her cheeks flushed with shyness, and after taking the rose, she said to Hu Jun: "We should treat love as depicted in "The Marriage of Figaro", as solid as a rock and never change.
Hu Jun agreed without hesitation, and the two immediately hugged each other tightly, sharing the joy brought by this important moment in their lives. When the sun set, Lu Fang was so excited that she called her mother to tell her mother of the ecstatic good news, and her mother humorously joked that she should make Hu Jun wait three months before replying, to which Lu Fang replied with a smile: "I'm afraid he will regret it."
Fourth, tell about the happy life after marriage
After their marriage, Hu Jun and Lu Fang's lives became more fulfilling, meaningful and happy because of their common ideal, theater. Sometimes they work together in the same play, sometimes they shine on their respective stages, but when they return home, they always tell stories in and out of the play, sharing the joys, sorrows and sorrows of their artistic careers.
It is precisely because of the same professional aspirations and ideals that these two artists can strengthen each other's strengths and weaknesses on the road of art, and work together to make progress together. For example, in the 2018 stage play "Hamlet", which amazed everyone, they worked together to play the starring role, and in order to go all out to present this classic work, the two even firmly decided to temporarily "separate" for a period of time.
Hu Jun plays the role of Hamlet, while Lu Fang challenges the role of his mother and his lover Ophelia. In order to preserve the sense of distance and freshness between the characters, and to prevent it is difficult to perfectly express complex emotions due to over-familiarity, they deliberately keep a certain distance, whether it is during rehearsals or theater performances, they choose to act alone, and rarely discuss each other's roles.
However, this seemingly "separation" behavior is actually to allow them to devote themselves to this artistic feast with the fullest mental state.
In addition to their unremitting pursuit in the field of art, Hu Jun and Lu Fang also have unique insights on children's education. Since childhood, they have been committed to passing on their love for art to their daughter Jiujiu and son Kangkang, stimulating their strong interest in music and drama.
In their daily lives, they pay more attention to cultivating children's independent personality and elegant aesthetic taste, rather than over-pampering or strict control. It is gratifying that Jiujiu not only has outstanding appearance, but also shows outstanding talent in music and drama, while Kang Kang, although he looks like a "domineering president" on the outside, hides a gentle and considerate heart that honors his parents.
Of course, like all ordinary couples, there will inevitably be moments of disagreement and contradiction in the married life of Hu Jun and Lu Fang. However, Hu Jun has always adhered to a unique philosophy of life: no matter what is right or wrong, he always takes the lead in choosing to apologize and bow his head to admit his mistakes, and resolve disputes with tolerance and understanding, so he is known as the "bowing family" at home.
He once said frankly that in the course of more than 20 years of marriage, the key to their ability to maintain such a happy family relationship is that they have become accustomed to each other - the other party has long been deeply integrated into his life and has become an inseparable and intimate existence like a family, and there is no need to deliberately "keep it fresh".
