1. Jing Yidan and Wang Zimu: Hard work creates a brilliant life
Ms. Jing Yidan was born in the autumn of 1955 in the beautiful city of Harbin, Heilongjiang Province. Her family was not a prominent family, and her parents were dedicated public officials. In addition to Jing Yidan, there is also an older sister and two younger brothers in the family to build a nest of happiness.
A family of five people work together to welcome every sunshine and wind and rain in life.
Time flies, in a blink of an eye, it has come to 1972, Jing Yidan completed his high school studies in this year, with full of enthusiasm, resolutely decided to respond to the party's call, went to the remote and lonely small Xing'anling forest area to start a difficult rural career.
Although she was only seventeen years old at the time, she quickly won the favor of the wooded radio station with her outstanding appearance, sweet voice and enthusiasm for her work, and became a glorious announcer.
In that environment where ice and snow alternate and scorching summer, Jing Yidan, with his firm will and endless love for his career, perfectly demonstrated the sense of responsibility and mission that an intellectual youth should have.
In the bitterly cold weather of more than minus 40 degrees, it is difficult to taste the delicious taste of fresh vegetables in a month, however, these difficult conditions have not stopped Jing Yidan from chasing his dreams.
She was always on the road to the woods for in-depth interviews, and when she returned to the radio station, she devoted herself to writing and broadcasting, and she remained uncomplaining until late at night.
Soon after, Jing Yidan was transferred to the radio station of the Qinghe Forestry Bureau to continue to use his talents. Even in her new position, she still maintains a high level of enthusiasm for work, like an unquenchable fire, burning with the persistent pursuit of ideals.
At the same time, Mr. Wang Zimu, who is two years older than Jing Yidan, began his rural life in 1969 when he was 16 years old at the "Wuqi Cadre School" in Liuhe, Heilongjiang. In that barren and barren land, Wang Zimu experienced all kinds of manual labor and was omnipotent.
He has grown crops, vegetables, raised livestock, dug wells, built houses, and even worked as a forest ranger.
At first, when the leader arranged for Wang Zimu to be in charge of beekeeping, he felt a little helpless. For of all the farm work, he never set foot in the production of honey. However, Wang Zimu did not back down, but humbly sought advice from others, devoted himself to studying relevant beekeeping books, and finally succeeded in mastering this seemingly difficult skill.
In the process of beekeeping, Wang Zimu's hard work is admirable. On that bitter cold winter night, he often stood alone in his tent deep in the mountains, accompanied only by the wailing of wild wolves.
During the day, his cheek would be stung by bees and swollen like a giant steamed bun.
However, what makes us deeply admire is that Mr. Wang Zimu has never had any complaints about this difficult and difficult work, and he has not flinched in the slightest, but has enjoyed it! That is because in every lonely and lonely night, he can quietly immerse himself in the sea of books and concentrate on writing his own learning experience, so as to broaden his horizons and enrich his inner world.
It is with perseverance and thirst for knowledge that Ms. Jing Yidan and Mr. Wang Zimu have successfully changed their destiny and finally become veritable social elites, and their legendary lives are undoubtedly worthy of our eternal memory and praise.
2. A love marriage that shares hardships and hardships
In 1979, Ms. Jing Yidan met Mr. Wang Zimu through a friend's introduction. The moment they met for the first time, Ms. Jing Yidan was deeply attracted by his handsome and chic appearance and talented inner temperament.
At that time, Mr. Wang Zimu was serving as a professor in the Economics Teaching and Research Department of the Party School of the Provincial Party Committee, and he won the respect of many students for his excellent eloquence, clear logical thinking, and fluent and precise expression skills, so he was quite famous in the industry.
Ms. Jing Yidan once quietly walked into the classroom to listen to Mr. Wang Zimu's lectures, and she was deeply impressed by his calm and powerful teaching style.
Soon after the two met, they found that they had an amazing tacit understanding with each other. They all come from low-income families in rural areas, and they have gone through a difficult life of joining the queue, and they have relied on their own efforts and hard work to stand on today's stage.
They share the same ideals and goals in life, so they soon fall in love.
In the process of falling in love, Ms. Jing Yidan and Mr. Wang Zimu have always encouraged each other and grown together. They are not ordinary young couples, but they will give each other books as gifts on the occasion of the holiday season to nourish each other's spiritual world.
In order to realize her dream of being admitted to a university in Beijing, Ms. Jing Yidan studied English on her own every day, while Mr. Wang Zimu took the National Postgraduate Examination twice in a row, and although he failed to meet the English test standard, his unwavering determination never wavered.
On September 20, 1981, Ms. Jing Yidan and Mr. Wang Zimu held a simple and solemn wedding in the beautiful city of Harbin, and officially entered the marriage hall. In the years after their marriage, they had to live apart due to the development of their respective careers, but this did not stop their deep emotional bond.
On the contrary, the brief parting time seems to breathe new life into this marriage, making it stronger and more precious.
Whether it is Wang Zimu who went to another country, or Jing Yidan who sticks to the same place, they all uphold 100% perseverance and fighting spirit, and manage this marriage with infinite expectations and desires.
Late at night, Jing Yidan finished a day's hard work, and when she stepped into the warm family, she would always catch a glimpse of Wang Zimu still concentrating on the lesson plan, carefully compiling the teaching course for the next day, and Wang Zimu would also ride a bicycle to escort his beloved wife home in the cold wind when the sky was full of stars.
After going through ups and downs, Jing Yidan and Wang Zimu finally reaped a happy and brilliant life with mutual encouragement, in-depth understanding and broad minds. Their marriage is like a shining pearl, bringing together the hard work and dedication of the two over the years, witnessing their firm belief and unswerving commitment to their career and love.
3. Daughter Wang Erqing witnessed the struggle of her parents
Wang Erqing, who has been with her parents since she was a child, has witnessed their little lives and has the most real and vivid memories of her parents' struggle.
In Wang Erqing's young memories, his father Wang Zimu and mother Jing Yidan both devoted great energy to their work, and sometimes even disappeared for several days. However, despite this, they never had any arguments due to exhaustion, and always maintained a harmonious way of getting along.
In her childhood, Wang Erqing rarely saw her parents at home, but what she could feel was her parents' persistent pursuit of career and deep nostalgia for their family.
In the dead of night, she could always see her mother Jing Yidan walking into the house with a thick stack of papers in her hand, her face showing a tired look, while her father Wang Zimu often stared out the window, as if waiting for someone to return.
After entering middle school, Wang Erqing used delicate and profound brushstrokes to depict the touching moments of parents sharing joys and sorrows in an essay entitled "My Family", which made the teachers who read the papers and couldn't help but be moved and burst into tears.
Through Wang Erqing's brushstrokes, the love between Jing Yidan and Wang Zimu is like a crystal clear teardrop, reflecting the warm light of the years.
Even though she has witnessed many of her peers suffering from the divorce of their parents, Wang Erqing has never experienced the emotional pain of the lack of a complete and happy family. She remembers the good times of love and harmony between her parents, and these warm memories are like the most beautiful gems for her, shining endlessly.
When she was studying abroad, every late at night, Wang Erqing curled up alone on the narrow bed in a foreign country, and the encouraging words that her parents had given her would quietly emerge.
Jing Yidan's warning that "the road is your own choice, and there is no turning back now", as well as Wang Zimu's story of sharing hardships and hardships in the process of beekeeping, all invisibly inspired her courage and determination.
The teachings of her parents nourished the earth like spring rain, nourishing her silently. Under their guidance, Wang Erqing successfully survived the most difficult period of adaptation, rekindled her passion for struggle, and finally achieved outstanding academic achievements in a foreign country.
Fourth, an independent girl who went to study in the UK
In 2004, with the full support and encouragement of her parents, Wang Erqing was successfully admitted to Imperial College London, a world-renowned university, with her excellent academic performance, and embarked on her overseas study journey.
In this strange country, Wang Erqing fully demonstrated the spirit of independence and self-improvement inherited from his parents. Unlike many international students, her parents never saw her off or greeted her personally, but let her take a taxi or subway to her destination by herself, which trained her ability to live independently from the beginning.
Far away from his homeland and studying alone in a foreign country, it was undoubtedly a huge test for the young Wang Erqing. At first, she was often saddened by the longing for her hometown, and frequently confided in her parents in Beijing by phone, longing for comfort.
However, whenever this happens, Jing Yidan will always admonish her in a firm and serious tone: "The road is your own choice, and there is no turning back now."
Wang Zimu will also share his hard years of beekeeping in the "Wuqi Cadre School" when he was young, so as to inspire his daughter to have a tenacious and self-reliant heart.
The teachings of her parents are like a fresh breeze, full of the power of self-improvement, which dispelled the confusion in Wang Erqing's heart and made her gradually find the course of life.
Therefore, it is under this background that Wang Erqing bravely devoted herself to the journey of studying in a foreign country and the struggle of her personal career, facing all kinds of challenges alone. In order not to overstress her, her parents tried to avoid visiting her and affecting her daily life in the UK.
This lonely and determined independent life process made Wang Erqing deeply understand the hardships and difficulties of life, and at the same time quietly cultivated her strong strength to stand alone.
From the immature and ignorant girl in the past, she has gradually transformed into a vibrant, tenacious, independent and confident woman in the new era.
Part 5: The Challenges and Tolerance of Transnational Marriages
Back in 2009, in that distant foreign campus, a sunny, handsome and dashing Scottish young Nick did not hesitate to extend a hand of friendship to Wang Erqing, and the two fell in love.
After two years of passionate love, finally in 2011, they held a grand and romantic wedding in Scotland and entered the palace of marriage together.
After getting married, Wang Erqing kept the promise she had made and resolutely decided to settle down in Beijing with her husband Nick. This cross-border couple has started a new chapter in their married life.
However, because Wang Erqing and Nick come from very different cultural backgrounds, it is inevitable that there will be some conceptual conflicts and small frictions in daily life. In the early days, due to the huge difference in living habits, they often had arguments and quarrels over trivial matters.
Whenever this happens, Jing Yidan always uses her patience and wisdom to guide her daughter on how to better accept and understand her husband. She often told her daughter earnestly: "Nick did not hesitate to travel to a strange country for you, and you are his only reliance here, so you should be more considerate and tolerant of him."
Under the careful guidance of her mother, Wang Erqing gradually learned to manage her marriage with a mature attitude. She began to do her best to create a warm family atmosphere for her husband. Once, Jing Yidan couldn't go home on time to cook because he was busy with work, so Wang Erqing took the initiative to ask her husband and father to deliver meals to her mother together.
These seemingly insignificant details deeply warm this transnational marriage.
From the initial mutual exclusion to the later mutual smile, the relationship between Wang Erqing and Nick has become deeper and deeper in the continuous running-in. With their problem-solving wisdom, they have become more considerate and tolerant of each other, and have successfully eliminated the barriers caused by cultural differences.
Part 6: The Determination to Inherit the Parents' Faith in Marriage
In that warm and romantic childhood, Wang Erqing was fortunate to witness the happy marriage process of her parents who depended on each other and shared hardships, and this precious memory made her have a unique and extremely pious understanding and respect for marriage.
In her heart, marriage is not only a legal contract, but also a firm belief in life, and a solemn commitment for two people to face the ups and downs of life together and support each other.
The details between the parents, like the spring rain moisturizing things silently, quietly changed Wang Erqing's view of marriage. She deeply felt the sincere love and firm companionship between her parents, which made her extremely cherish and persist in marriage.
Although many of her peers around her have broken up their marriages for various reasons, Wang Erqing's belief in her marriage has always been firm. On the contrary, it was the careful guidance of her parents and her own cherishing of marriage that made her relationship with her husband Nick grow stronger.
Ms. Jing Yidan often taught her daughter that marriage is a long practice that requires the joint efforts of both husband and wife to operate and maintain. She repeatedly told Wang Erqing to learn to be tolerant and understanding of her husband, because Nick had left his hometown for this relationship and went to a foreign country.
Under her mother's words and deeds, Wang Erqing gradually learned to look at marriage from a broader and more understanding perspective. She began to do her best to create a warm family atmosphere for her husband.
Whether it's preparing dinner for her husband's return, or serving her mother hot meals when she's busy, Wang Erqing nourishes this exotic relationship with endless love.
The marriage of her parents, who has gone through vicissitudes but is still tenacious, has long been deeply imprinted in the depths of Wang Erqing's soul and has become her spiritual pillar on the way forward. She is determined to emulate her parents, walk hand in hand with her husband, and spend her life carefully caring for this marriage.
From the bustling capital of Beijing to the beautiful Scotland, from the strange to the familiar, she will stick to her faith in marriage, spend every journey of her life with Nick, and write their own love legend.
