Shen Li's affectionate review of the farewell moment of his life and his endless regrets
Ms. Shen Li was lying quietly on the sickbed of a hospital in Beijing. Her body was constantly emaciated, and her face, which had once been full of vitality and radiance, was now pale and powerless due to the torture of the disease. However, despite this predicament, Ms. Shen Li maintained her usual optimism and humble manners.
When Nurse Li, who was in charge of medical care, slowly entered the door, she carefully held a stack of letters from the audience in her hand. Seeing these letters, Ms. Shen Li's eyes instantly glowed brightly, which was a habit she had always had.
As the first female host of CCTV, Ms. Shen Li has established a deep and precious bond of trust and affection with the audience.
Nurse Li gently placed the letter on the small table at the head of Ms. Shen Li's bed, and at the same time carefully adjusted the height of the pillow for her. After Ms. Shen Li bowed her head slightly to express her gratitude, she immediately couldn't wait to open the first letter.
Those familiar handwriting, those affectionate "Teacher Shen" titles, made her eyes can't help but burst into tears. Some of these letters from all over the world tell about the trivial troubles in life, some talk about the troubles of the family, and some are eager discussions and valuable suggestions on the content of the program.
Regardless of the content of the letter, each letter is like the confidant of a confidant and friend. The trust and love given to her by the audience has undoubtedly become the most powerful motivation and support for Ms. Shen Li in her career.
However, just as she was immersed in joy, an indescribable sadness crept over her. Ms. Shen Li realized that now her deepest concern was no longer her brilliant achievements in her career, but her two sons.
Due to her busy work, her sons have little communication and companionship with their mother since they were young, and most of the time they were raised by their father Wu Dianxun alone.
Ms. Shen Li, who is entering her later years, feels deep regret for failing to fulfill her responsibilities as a mother during the critical period of her career development and not caring enough for her children.
The budding love of youth and the pain of parting
Go back in time to the mountain city of Chongqing in the late 40s of the last century, which was an era of war. As a member of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Southern Literature Troupe, the young Shen Lihuan (later Ms. Shen Li) frequently followed the team to various places for theatrical performances.
Shen Lihuan, who was born in a famous family, has been influenced by the family's strict family style since he was a child, and is known for his solemn generosity, modesty and courtesy attitude.
Her unique skills, her prowess in singing and dancing, and her ability to perform in a variety of performing arts forms, earned her a well-deserved honor as a "pillar" in the team.
Whenever she wears gorgeous costumes and dances lightly on the stage, she will attract the attention of many male troupes, including Zhang Ruilin, who is introverted and shy.
Zhang Ruilin, a handsome and talented man, has a sincere and deep admiration for Shen Lihuan. However, his personality has never made him able to muster up the courage to confess his emotions to the goddess in his heart.
Most of the time, he could only quietly gaze at Shen Lihuan's figure from a distance, his heart full of endless reverie.
During a performance, Zhang Ruilin accidentally tore a big hole in his clothes on the stage, causing a burst of laughter in the audience. However, for this boy, who grew up living in poverty, such trivial matters did not attract his attention.
However, the careful Shen Lihuan noticed this, so between Zhang Ruilin's rehearsals, she quietly repaired the damage for him.
When Zhang Ruilin found the stitches on his clothes, he immediately realized that Shen Lihuan also had deep affection for him. A few days later, he finally mustered up the courage to solemnly express his heart to Shen Lihuan on a moonlit night.
Shen Lihuan's cheeks flushed slightly, and after some hesitation, she finally nodded lightly in agreement.
In this way, the two young people began a love journey as sweet as a bud of youth. Despite the ban on love within the team, they were able to meet secretly late at night after rehearsals, and this fiery love was not weakened by the constraints of the rules.
However, the good times are always short-lived. Soon after, Zhang Ruilin and Shen Lihuan were transferred to work in other places. Due to the distance between the two places, their once fiery relationship is gradually cooled by the harsh reality.
In the end, they chose to break up in the distance and deep longing.
Shen Lihuan fell into extreme sadness, this unforgettable love affair was like a bright meteor, although it was short, but it left an eternal mark. It wasn't until she met the gentle Wu Dianxun later that she regained the warm sunshine in her heart.
重逢前夫,HR全非
In 1994, fate seemed to show a benevolent side to Shen Li. In this year, her most beloved husband Wu Dianxun died of illness, and Shen Li has since become a lonely old woman.
In order to take care of his two sons, who were getting busier and busier, Shen Li resolutely left his original comfort zone and bravely stepped into the unknown capital Beijing.
However, the arrangement of fate is always so magical, so that she met her long-lost old friend - Zhang Ruilin here.
It was a quiet and welcoming weekend afternoon, with the soft sun looming. Shen Li wandered alone in the park around the community, and in an instant, a familiar figure came into view, and sitting on the bench was the former graceful Zhang Ruilin.
The jagged mottled hair and slightly clumsy body are all the shadows of the heroic Zhang Ruilin back then.
"Lihuan, is it really you?" Zhang Ruilin couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, stepped forward and grabbed Shen Li's hands tightly, his eyes flashing with joy that could not be concealed.
Shen Li stood quietly in place, this long-lost title was like a clear spring pouring into her heart, stirring up layers of waves. Yes, the hot-blooded young man who used to wear a military uniform is no more, and what he sees in front of him is just an old man who has experienced vicissitudes.
The great wheel of time mercilessly ran over their faces, leaving a deep imprint.
Staring at Zhang Ruilin, Shen Li's mood was mixed. She never imagined that the old lover who had left a deep memory in her youth would live next door to her.
Those bits and pieces of the past have now disappeared with the passage of time.
"Lihuan, I have been waiting for you for so many years. Zhang Ruilin held Shen Li's hand tightly, and his tone was as firm as iron.
Shen Li shook his head lightly and slowly withdrew his hand from Zhang Ruilin's hand. Her gaze was filled with deep remorse and endless sorrow. Time flies, and that young relationship has long been buried deep in her heart, and now the only thing she cares about is her two underage children.
Zhang Ruilin looked at the wedding ring on Shen Li's finger, and an indescribable grief surged in his heart. He finally understood that the fate of the two might end there. However, as a confidant for many years, he understood Shen Li's choice and decided to silently guard her and spend the rest of his life together.
The bright light at the peak of his career
In 1954, at the age of 25, Shen Li was fortunate to join CCTV and became the first TV host in Chinese history. This new and challenging job has opened a new page in her career.
In the early days of the TV industry, Shen Li's work process was full of hardships and challenges in the face of poor equipment and lack of rich experience.
However, this brave woman was never knocked down by difficulties, on the contrary, she forged ahead and with unwavering determination and will, she overcame all odds to ensure that the show could be broadcast smoothly.
At six o'clock every morning, she has been immersed in intense and busy work, engrossed in reciting the manuscript, carefully adjusting every aspect of the broadcasting equipment, paying meticulous attention to every detail of the work, and dutifully fulfilling her duties.
During an important rehearsal, the entire studio fell into a dead silence due to a malfunctioning equipment, and no sound was heard.
In the face of this sudden predicament, Shen Li showed extraordinary composure and adaptability, she quickly and calmly analyzed the problem, and personally went into battle to repair the equipment, and finally successfully solved the fault, so that the program could be broadcast as scheduled.
It is precisely because of her outstanding professionalism and perseverance that Shen Li has established high prestige and authority in the hearts of her colleagues. Whether it is a senior or a dynamic newcomer, they all express their sincere respect for Shen Li's professionalism and hard work.
In 1957, Shen Li's first host of the program "At Your Service" was widely praised as soon as it was launched, and her kind and kind hosting style was deeply loved by the audience. People regard Shen Li as a trusted friend, and they have confided in her about the troubles in life, or put forward valuable opinions and suggestions on the show.
After entering the year of the sixtieth year, Shen Li could have enjoyed his old age and lived a leisurely life. However, just as the station was planning to prepare a program "Sunset Red" for the elderly, the host was not determined.
After many in-depth discussions, the leaders of Taili unanimously decided that only Shen Li could be qualified for this important task.
So, Shen Li stepped forward again and devoted himself to the planning and production of the new show without hesitation. In the show, she always patiently listened to the voices of the elderly audience, and gave them advice and help with warm and caring words, so she won the reputation of "intimate sister".
In his sixty or seventy-year career, Shen Li has always stuck to his post, worked diligently, and dedicated most of his life to the cause he loves. Her tenacity and professionalism have earned her the admiration and respect of countless people.
Although the achievements in her career are undoubtedly exciting and proud, for Ms. Shen Li, China's first outstanding female host, there is always a deep regret and endless regret in her heart - that is, the guilt for her two sons.
As a dedicated and dedicated professional woman, work is a top priority for Ms. Shen Li. In the long years, she has always been busy on the front line of work, and she has no time to take care of her responsibilities as a mother.
The two sons have grown up under the careful care of their father Wu Dianxun since they were young.
Whenever the family gets together rarely, Ms. Shen Li's attention is always focused on work. Sometimes, she even received an urgent overtime notice and had to say goodbye to her two children in a hurry, and the disappointment and confusion in their eyes often made her heart ache.
The eldest son, Wu Lin, has been determined to follow in his mother's footsteps since he was a child and become an excellent host. However, due to the long-term lack of guidance and teachings from his mother, despite his countless efforts, he was unable to achieve his ideal in the end.
The situation of the second son did not improve. Because he longed for his mother's love and care since he was a child, he was quite lonely and introverted when he grew up, and he was not keen on interacting with people.
Ms. Shen Li is well aware that her negligence in her children's education is a serious mistake, and she is eager to make up for this mistake through other means.
Therefore, when Wu Lin failed to be admitted to the announcer position as she wished, she resolutely decided to introduce him to CCTV and let him do some behind-the-scenes work, so as to do her part as a mother.
However, as the sons gradually entered adulthood, the gap between mother and son deepened. As Ms. Shen Li entered her old age, she felt more and more that she owed too much to her two sons.
Especially when her life was coming to an end, she held her sons' hands tightly and repeatedly said "I'm sorry", her eyes were full of deep guilt and apology.
Although Ms. Shen Li has gained in both career and love, as a mother, her role is incomplete. The price she paid for this was the loss of that precious family bond with her children.
This regret is destined to become an indelible pain in her life.
In his later years, he found the love he had lost
In the last few years of her life, Ms. Shen Li finally regained the sincere love that she had lost when she was young. After her husband Wu Dianxun passed away and her two sons started their own families, the old friend named Zhang Ruilin came into her life again.
Although time has passed, their hair has turned gray and wrinkles have been deeply embedded in their skin, but the original relationship is still as hot as ever. Zhang Ruilin resolutely stepped forward and fully intervened in Shen Li's life, carefully taking care of every trace of her triviality.
Every morning, Shen Li can feel the enticing aroma wafting from the kitchen, which is a healthy breakfast prepared by Zhang Ruilin himself, full of love. After breakfast, he would carefully wipe the table for Shen Li, clean the room, and always keep it neat and clean.
Even sometimes, if Shen Liruo forgets to take the medicine on time, Zhang Ruilin will always be alert and remind her in a timely manner. Whether it is a trivial matter in daily life or a major decision, Zhang Ruilin will wholeheartedly help Shen Li deal with it.
In addition, Zhang Ruilin is also concerned about the marriage of his two sons. When Wu Lin and his wife were preparing for the wedding, Zhang Ruilin silently reached out to help, generously donated money, and went all out to organize the wedding for the newlyweds.
Witnessing Zhang Ruilin's selfless dedication, Shen Li's heart was deeply touched by this long-lost emotion. Looking back, she once politely rejected Zhang Ruilin because of another marriage.
But now, she finally has the opportunity to make up for that regret.
After careful consideration, Shen Li finally decided to accept Zhang Ruilin as a confidant and friend to spend the rest of his life with. Since then, they have started a happy life in their later years, using their last days to fulfill their former good wishes.
