In the noisy and lively hall of Beijing West Railway Station, the crowd is surging, and the atmosphere of Beijing West Railway Station is extremely warm. Suddenly, a familiar voice broke the prosperity - Lu Kan had not felt such warmth for several years! At this moment, his heart was full of strong family affection.
And his wife, Wu Meihong, is holding her son Niuniu, with a happy smile on her face, and at the same time a trace of complex emotions.
Niu Niu plunged into his father's broad chest, although he was still young, he had already deeply experienced the long-lost longing. Lu Kan's eyes moistened instantly, and this scene reminded him of the bits and pieces before he left home.
Wu Meihong's expression looked a little contradictory. The past days seemed like just yesterday, and the arduous journey of raising her children alone made her feel suffocated.
But now, she finally decided to give Lu Kan a chance to be a new person, although she still has some doubts in her heart, but in order for her son to have a complete family, she is willing to try to accept this husband who has left the family again.
Niu Niu's innocent heart is very sensitive, he happily hugged his father and was reluctant to let go. Lu Kan felt deeply guilty, and gently stroked his son's immature cheeks, his eyes full of deep apology and firm determination.
He vowed to work harder to save the family and make up for the mistakes he made when his son was growing up.
Wu Meihong watched all this silently from the sidelines, and she couldn't hide the pain in her heart. Seven years of suffering have deeply imprinted the figure of her lover in her heart, and now seeing Lu Kan's lost soul, her mood is mixed.
Time seems to rewind to the spring of 1999, when the 23-year-old Lu Kan has lost his yearning for Shenyang, the city where he was born and raised.
Some friends described to him the bright prospects of high-paying jobs in Guangzhou, Huizhou and other big cities in the south, which inspired the young and vigorous Lu Kan to want to go to other places.
On April 1, 1999, Lu Kan hurriedly stepped on the train to Guangzhou without explaining too much to his wife Wu Meihong and young son Niu Niu.
With good expectations for his future life, he did not say a word about the real reason for going out to work this time.
After arriving in Guangzhou, Lu Kan quickly found the legendary high-paying company according to his friend's instructions and hurriedly went through the onboarding procedures. However, after only a few days, he realized that things were not as smooth as he had imagined.
It turned out that the "company" that was portrayed as shining was actually an elaborate scam by an MLM organization.
Most of the members of this company are recruited by young hobbyists from Tohoku, however, there is no production workshop and no molded products in the company! New employees must pay all their savings, and these funds are eventually handed over.
Lu Kan knew that he had been scammed, and once he could not pay the so-called high "membership fee", what awaited him was inhuman detention and mental torture.
At the moment of life and death, Lu Kan finally seized the opportunity and successfully broke away from this pyramid scheme. However, while leaving, he broke out into violent clashes and physical collisions with other members, and he suffered severe beatings and was physically and mentally exhausted.
The delirious Lu Kan could no longer control himself, he forgot his original intention of leaving home in the first place, and only left a deep longing for his familiar hometown in the Northeast.
From the moment he escaped from the MLM organization, Lu Kan began an endless wandering career. After years away from home, he has long forgotten the specific location of Shenyang and the contact information of his family.
Penniless and with nowhere to stay, he can only make ends meet by scavenging on the streets and doing odd jobs.
The loss of memory left him with endless distress and helplessness. Sometimes his mind is quite clear, but more often he is confused and confused.
The only thing he can remember is that he is from the city of Shenyang.
He often misses his hometown and tries to go to his hometown in the northeast on foot, but due to the unfamiliarity of the route, he always goes astray.
In this way, Lu Kan wandered around and finally came to Beijing. For him, the capital of his homeland was no less a strange place. He still lives a life under the fence and makes a living.
However, it was in this bustling capital that a touching incident of gold collection made him the focus of the media overnight.
That day, he stumbled upon a bulging wallet on the street, filled with cash and valuables. Although he was in a situation of displacement and poverty at the time, Lu Kan always adhered to a high moral code.
Without hesitation, he took the wallet he picked up to a nearby police station to hand it in.
This good deed has aroused widespread attention in the whole society, and major media have conducted in-depth interviews and reports on this homeless man who has never met before.
The camera captured his shabby clothes, dark skin, and dirty hands.
The customer who lost his wallet cried with joy and couldn't wait to offer 500 yuan to Lu Kan as a thank you gift to express his deep gratitude.
However, in the face of the camera, Lu Kan looked helpless and confused, he just stared intently at the camera, hoping to find his long-missing family through the TV screen, and then restore the bond between him and his family.
At the same time, Lü Kan's widow Wu Meihong lived a lonely and hard life in Shenyang raising their young son Niu Niu alone. Lu Kan's sudden death caused a devastating blow to this originally happy little family, and life fell into extreme difficulties.
In order to maintain basic living needs, they had to move out of their rented cottage and temporarily live with relatives, and Wu Meihong struggled to find a job with a company, but the meager salary could not cover the family's daily expenses.
In order to save the cost of food, Wu Meihong would rush back to her parents' house for a hot meal at lunchtime. After nightfall, she and her son were left to dry bread to feed themselves.
In those helpless nights, Wu Meihong always fell asleep with tears in her eyes, lest she disturb her relatives and make them worry about herself.
Just when Wu Meihong felt that all thoughts were lost, an enthusiastic person named Wang came into her life. Wang was well aware of Wu Meihong's predicament, and took the initiative to lend a helping hand and give her selfless help and care.
After several years of getting along, Wang gradually replaced Lu Kan's position as a father in the heart of his son Niu Niu, and the child also regarded him as close as his biological father.
Wu Meihong's life has finally begun to get on track, and she has also created a relatively stable and warm family atmosphere for her son. However, at this moment, the news of Lu Kan's exposure by the media was suddenly broadcast in front of the TV, and Wu Meihong couldn't help but burst into tears when she saw the haggard and skinny face, and once wondered if Lu Kan was still alive in the world.
The astonishing exposure of the news media instantly pushed Lu Kan's life to the forefront! This not only brought him back into the sight of his relatives, but also aroused the strong attention of his father Uncle Lu, who was far away in Shenyang.
When he saw his son's lonely and helpless figure, he immediately realized that it was his beloved son who disappeared many years ago - Lu Kan.
Uncle Lu's heart was like a knife, and he did not hesitate to embark on the arduous journey to find his son.
First of all, Uncle Lu resolutely crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and came to Beijing, where he visited the police and media reporters who had reported on the Lu Kan incident, eager to get a clue from them.
Despite his predicament, he never gave up, and he searched around the capital, but never found any useful information.
However, just when he was almost in despair, a glimmer of life quietly came. Someone revealed to Uncle Lu that he had also seen a homeless man in Xuzhou who was extremely similar to Lu Kan.
Although he was already a sixty-year-old man, Uncle Lu was still in good spirits, and he decided to go to Xuzhou without hesitation to find out.
After arriving in Xuzhou, with the assistance of the local police, Uncle Lu finally found his son's traces. It turned out that Lu Kan had a difficult time in Xuzhou, during which he was recognized and called the police.
The staff of the local police station kept the relevant records.
The father and son hugged each other tightly on the streets of Xuzhou, and at this moment, they had been separated for seven or eight years. Lu Kan's current situation is shocking, he is ragged and skinny, but in Uncle Lu's eyes, he is still that familiar child.
Tears welled up in his eyes, and Uncle Lu finally saw the most important relative in his life reappear, and God seemed to be taking care of the family. Lu Kan recounted his experience of being deceived into a pyramid scheme organization and losing his memory after fleeing, and Uncle Lu suddenly realized that his son did not run away from home voluntarily.
He hugged his son affectionately and vowed to take him home and return to his warm home in Shenyang.
However, to Uncle Lu's surprise, Wu Meihong, her daughter-in-law in Shenyang, had ended her marriage with Lu Kan. The pain of Lu Kan's wandering in those years, as well as Wu Meihong's experience of raising her son alone and suffering from loneliness, made her lose all trust and patience in her husband.
What is even more unacceptable is the fact that Wu Meihong now has a new family life and spiritual sustenance. Her beloved son, Niu Niu, has deeply respected her new boyfriend Wang as his biological father.
Under the sincere persuasion of Uncle Lu, Wu Meihong was extremely calm and resolute, categorically rejected the possibility of rebuilding the old relationship with Lu Kan, and insisted on divorcing him.
Uncle Lu's wish is naturally to hope that this broken family can be reunited again, loving and harmonious. After all, for elderly parents, children and loved ones are their most cherished treasures.
He painstakingly persuaded Wu Meihong, hoping that she could give Lu Kan one last chance to reform and let the family regain its former warmth.
However, Wu Meihong's deep resentment and dissatisfaction have accumulated for too long and too deeply. At the recording site of the show, she affectionately recounted the bitter journey of raising her son alone over the years.
Whenever night fell, she always silently hid under the covers and wept, lest she disturb her family and make them worry about herself.
In order to save money, she worked hard in the workplace during the day and could only feed on dry bread at night. Sometimes, I have to go to my mother's house to eat at lunchtime, and my life is so embarrassing and helpless.
Faced with the predicament at home, Lu Kan chose to be indifferent and had no news, which made Wu Meihong's anger and accusations distressing.
In the show, the host has always tried her best to persuade Wu Meihong, hoping that she can give Lu Kan a chance to regain his father's responsibilities and create a complete family environment for his son Niuniu.
However, in fact, in addition to her son Niu Niu, Wu Meihong has found her own happiness at the moment.
Her current boyfriend, Wang, cares for her son, and the child gets along very happily with him, as if he is the child's biological father.
In the face of the host's persuasion, Wu Meihong finally made a regrettable decision: she will work with Lu Kan to rebuild the warmth of the family and make up for the lack of fatherly love in his son's growth.
This decision is undoubtedly impressive. On the surface, it seems that everyone has gotten a satisfactory result, but we ignore the Wang who appeared in Wu Meihong's life.
There is no doubt that he was just an innocent bystander, but unfortunately he was forced to become a harrowing spectator and victim!
