1. Looking back on the bitter past in the sweet time
Late at night, Beijing is covered in night, and the flickering neon lights outside the window are like beating notes, which is intoxicating. Liu Sha sat on the spacious sofa in the living room, looking affectionately at Wu Ruofu and Wu Bingqing who were sleeping on the bed in the bedroom, her eyes were full of love and happiness.
16 years of married life passed quietly, and the family of three supported each other and shared the joy of family. Liu Sha couldn't help but recall the moment she first met Wu Ruofu – a middle-aged man who was extremely ordinary, even a little mediocre, in stark contrast to her energetic dance career.
She vividly remembers glaring at the hot movie star with no regard for any consequences.
Who could have foreseen that it was this seemingly unintentional move that would become the trigger for Wu Ruofu's obsession with her? This veteran actor was deeply attracted by Liu Sha, who was full of youth at that time, and he put down his dignity and approached her in every possible way.
Looking back, Liu Sha has no regrets about her original choice. She made that decision at a time when she was in her prime and looking forward to a bright future. She gave up the bright prospect of the stage without hesitation and devoted herself to the film and television industry, ignoring all kinds of doubts from the outside world, just to be able to spend the rest of her life with the love of her heart and join hands with her white head.
Staring at Wu Ruofu's quiet face, Liu Sha was deeply moved in the depths of her heart. This man, who is 22 years older than himself, has worked hard and sweated a lot to stay with her.
She held her husband's hands tightly, and the warm temperature made her feel happiness that she had never felt before. Yes, time flies, romance is gone, but love is eternal, from acquaintance, acquaintance, love to today's white-headed old together, they have gone through ups and downs, and always walk with love.
2. Tortuous love road
Their love journey is not all smooth sailing, suffering from family opposition and social pressure from public opinion, but the more difficult it is, the more they can deeply appreciate the importance of each other.
Wu Ruofu tried his best to dispel Liu Sha's parents' doubts about this relationship, and gradually moved them with practical actions, while Liu Sha bravely faced the gossip and doubts of the outside world.
When they first met, the Liu family was a little apprehensive about this prospective aunt who had a 22-year age difference with their baby daughter. However, Wu Ruofu was not discouraged.
With a warm heart, he first presented a huge flower basket to pay his respects, and then he did not tire of following in the footsteps of Liu Sha's mother, Mrs. Liu, who had been exercising every morning for many years, even though it required crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, and he firmly believed that if he persevered, he would win the favor of Mrs. Liu.
Although Mrs. Liu's enthusiasm for him has always remained cold, Wu Ruofu has always been smiling and caring. Whenever Mrs. Liu exercised, he would always hand her a sunhat to prevent sunburn, and when she was drenched in sweat, he would immediately offer a handkerchief and wait patiently for her to open up.
Once, he even affectionately praised Mrs. Liu for her radiant appearance, as beautiful and moving as Liu Sha's sister.
However, the turning point came one day, when Liu's parents suddenly fell ill. Although Liu Sha was not present at the time, Wu Ruofu took good care of him, and he spent five hours carefully cooking a pot of fragrant old turkey soup and personally delivering it to the two old men.
Looking at this burly and agile man, his skillful but caring movements deeply moved the Liu family's parents and impressed him.
Wu Ruofu's filial piety and diligence to his family also deeply touched Liu Sha. In order to further win the affection of his future father-in-law, he even signed up for a Go training class, just so that he could talk about chess skills and exchange ideas with the old people who love Go.
Despite repeated defeats in Go matches, he always had a smile on his face and enjoyed himself.
Through unremitting efforts, Wu Ruofu successfully eliminated the estrangement between the two families and won the blessing of his family. Liu Sha is also full of gratitude for her husband's thoughtfulness and sincerity, and she is deeply glad that she has made a firm choice in her heart and has not been affected by external doubts.
3. A grand wedding at first sight
In the face of doubts from the outside world, they resolutely decided to register their marriage on September 9, 2006, a beautiful day. Then, on September 29, they held a simple and warm wedding ceremony in the presence of family and friends.
There was no extravagance, no glamorous wedding dresses, no guests, and no motorcade. Dressed in plain T-shirts and jeans, they set off from home and embarked on a new journey in life.
However, behind every wedding date, there is full of anticipation and affection for the newlyweds - the number "9" is homophonic to "long", which means the eternity of love, looking forward to spending a long time with the lover and growing old together.
Although the wedding was simple and solemn, it was filled with a happy and warm atmosphere. The bridesmaids surrounded the petite and lovely bride Liu Sha, who was dressed in a white wedding dress, with a light body and a joyful face, shy and joyful, while the groom, Wu Ruofu, dressed in a crisp suit, was heroic and looked at his long-cherished wife.
When the two exchanged rings, Wu Ruofu clasped Liu Sha's hands, and the warm and firm temperature seemed to inject all sincere emotions into his fingers. Liu Sha was moved by her husband's affectionate gaze, and from him, she felt the generosity and tolerance that is worth cherishing for a lifetime and the power to give people a sense of security.
Witnessed by relatives and friends, the two newlyweds solemnly read their eternal love vows in front of the witnesses, and then hugged each other tightly and kissed passionately. Warm applause and good wishes from relatives and friends sounded all around, and the atmosphere was lively and harmonious.
Although the whole process was simple and bright, this grand wedding undoubtedly marked the beginning of a new phase of life for the two couples after going through ups and downs.
Part 4: Career and family are both hands-on
After marriage, in order to be able to devote herself to the responsibility of taking care of her husband and the soon-to-be-born child, Liu Sha resolutely gave up her original smooth sailing dance career, turned to devote herself to the film and television industry, and co-starred in many film and television masterpieces with Wu Ruofu.
Although this is Liu Sha's first foray into the new artistic field of acting, with her rich experience on stage over the years, she has shown extraordinary talent in grasping the emotions of the characters and shaping the inner world of the characters.
In her first work with Wu Ruofu, "29 and a Half Days", she won unanimous praise from critics and audiences for her natural and smooth acting skills.
After that, she teamed up with Wu Ruofu again and co-starred in the TV series "The Heart of the Soldier" that depicts military life. In the play, she successfully interprets the image of the wife of an officer who died heroically, vividly showing the wife's deep affection for her husband and her firm belief in defending her homeland.
Liu Sha did her best to give life to the character with her delicate and nuanced acting skills, making the character vivid and three-dimensional and full, which won high praise from people inside and outside the industry, and thus emerged in the film and television industry and became famous.
Just when they were emerging in the field of their careers, in 2010, an extremely precious gift came to them - the lively and lovely daughter Wu Bingqing was born! In order to devote herself to taking care of this newborn baby and taking care of her husband's daily life, Liu Sha resolutely gave up the core position of her career, chose to retreat behind the scenes, and devoted herself wholeheartedly to the family.
Since then, this happy family of three has been filled with endless love and warmth. Watching his daughter Wu Bingqing grow up day by day, Wu Ruofu's heart was full of joy.
After completing the filming of the movie "Rescue Mr. Wu" in 2015, he did not hesitate to choose to leave the bustling film and television industry and spend a good old age with his wife and daughter.
In such a quiet and harmonious living environment, whenever he sees the warm picture of his daughter and Liu Sha's intimacy and laughter, Wu Ruofu will always be surrounded by that strong sense of happiness.
5. A fateful encounter
If there was no glimpse of the stage back then, perhaps there would not have been a long pursuit and a happy ending in the end. Wu Ruofu often laughed at himself, if it wasn't for being attracted by Liu Sha's unruliness that day, they might have missed the fate of this life.
It was a grand dance performance, and Liu Sha was already an outstanding student of the Beijing Dance Academy at that time, and was highly expected by many teachers and classmates to be regarded as a bright new star in the future dance scene.
Wu Ruofu, who was sitting in the audience, was a high-profile veteran of the film industry and was invited to watch this wonderful performance.
At first, Liu Sha didn't care about this "big-name" character, in her eyes, he was just an ordinary middle-aged man, nothing special. Even at the instigation of her friends, she boldly cast a provocative glance at Wu Ruofu to express her "contempt" for him.
However, who would have predicted that it was this seemingly unintentional small action that would become the fuse for Wu Ruofu's unremitting pursuit of her? This old drama bone was moved by Liu Sha's innocence and recklessness at that time, and a strong desire to understand her more deeply emerged in his heart.
As a result, Wu Ruofu embarked on a determined and persistent pursuit journey, trying his best to make this energetic dancing girl fall in love with him. He sent flowers to show his love, took the initiative to invite, and took advantage of his work...... Pretty much anything.
Even after the two officially met, Wu Ruofu still tirelessly looked for various opportunities to get close to Liu Sha. However, some of his behaviors sometimes confuse the young and innocent Liu Sha.
By chance, Liu Sha witnessed Wu Ruofu and his old girlfriend holding hands and talking affectionately, and even found that his ex-girlfriend was in tears.
However, fortunately, Wu Ruofu immediately explained, it turned out that the lady was facing all kinds of difficulties in life, he was just out of sympathy, and wanted to give a short helping hand and comfort When Liu Sha saw the clear and immaculate sincere light in his eyes, the anger in his heart gradually subsided, and reason returned, at this moment, she did not hesitate to take out the only cash from her wallet and handed it to Wu Ruofu herself, hoping that he could lend a hand to help the woman in distress.
Wu Ruofu was extremely proud of the partner he chose, so he decided to make the relationship public. Although he has been on the road of pursuing love step by step, the road has not been smooth, and they have suffered from the outside world and opposition from their families.
However, it was these difficulties and obstacles that strengthened their belief in each other's sincere feelings, and in the end, they won everyone's respect and blessings with their practical actions and sincere intentions.
