Today, let's get closer to this tenacious and loving couple and find out the answer to their sincere love poured with perseverance and tenacity.
The ignorant boy's dream set sail
Ren Chengwei's story starts from that remote northeastern town.
He was born in an ordinary family in Hulin City, Heilongjiang Province, his father was a factory director in a machinery factory, and his mother was an ordinary worker.
In the factory, the mother always listened to the father's arrangement, but when she returned home, the roles were reversed, and the mother had to suppress the father everywhere.
His mother's strong personality makes the atmosphere at home always tense, and Ren Chengwei has seen this delicate relationship between his parents since he was a child.
At first, Ren Chengwei didn't understand his father's approach, but felt that he was too submissive in the factory.
It wasn't until he was 12 years old that his father died of illness, the workers in the factory spontaneously organized donations, and even those older old workers came to the door to mourn, Ren Chengwei suddenly realized that his father had won everyone's love and respect with his noble character and care for the workers.
Although his father has been suppressed by his mother at home for many years, his personality is wise and foolish, but he is consistent, which makes Ren Chengwei admire him in his heart.
This made Ren Chengwei determined to become a respected person like his father.
Dream of the journey amazed Huang Lei
After graduating from high school, Ren Chengwei was unexpectedly admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy when he filled in the volunteers.
At first, he planned to give up, but his mother categorically asked him to study, she only had one idea, whether she could become an actor or not, at least let her son go to college.
Ren Chengwei was born in poverty and has always been the only hope for his family to study, and his mother has placed too many expectations on him, not wanting to let his son's future stop there.
In this way, Ren Chengwei came to this school specializing in training actors with his mother's expectations.
The days were not smooth at the beginning, as the only northern child in the family, Ren Chengwei's Mandarin was too unacceptable,
His hilarious Northeast accent made him a laughing stock in acting class, and the teacher tried to persuade him to change majors several times.
Just when he was sweating profusely, Huang Lei, who was in the same class, took the initiative to lend a hand.
On the first day the two met, Huang Lei was attracted by Ren Chengwei's personality.
This Northeast guy is capable and steady, sincere and simple, although he is tall and straight, he has a reassuring temperament.
So Huang Lei offered to accompany him to practice Mandarin every morning after running.
In this way, after coming and going, the two intersected more and more, and Huang Lei was also impressed by Ren Chengwei's diligence and steadfastness.
She never imagined that she would be so interested in a boy.
Hand in hand to cut the waves
After graduating from university, the two came to Beijing to work hard.
The conditions were extremely difficult, and they rented a nine-square-meter basement, which was dim and damp, with only a bunk bed, a table and a chair, and even a cabinet infested with cockroaches.
Beijing prices are high, Ren Chengwei's meager income is difficult to make a living, and Huang Lei has to give up her dream of being an actress to work in a restaurant to supplement her family.
Ren Chengwei can only do some miscellaneous small roles in the crew, and his income is meager.
Sometimes Huang Lei looks at her husband's figure running around in the crew, and a sense of confusion and fear for the future will swell up in her heart.
And the living environment of the two is so poor that she can't help but wonder if she made a wrong choice in the first place.
But every time she sees Ren Chengwei's tired appearance after returning from the crew, Huang Lei will feel her deep love for this man.
Just when Huang Lei was about to fall into hesitation, Ren Chengwei actually proposed to break up.
He felt that he couldn't afford to raise Huang Lei at all, and would only drag her down for the rest of her life.
At noon that day, he ordered a lot of dishes for the first time, ordered a bottle of wine, and waited to break up with Huang Lei.
Looking at the table of delicacies in front of him, Ren Chengwei almost burst into tears, he knew that this might be the last chance for the two of them to have a good meal.
The ups and downs of the red dust finally gained spring

Someone joked that he should change to a new love, but Ren Chengwei directly scolded with a cold face: "Don't make this kind of joke in the future, I don't like it." "
He was afraid that he would be criticized and end up hurting his wife's feelings.
Huang Lei was deeply moved after hearing this, and was even more sure that she had chosen the right person.
She taught her daughter that she must find someone like her father in the future, and character is the most important thing.
Life is eternal side by side
