1. The struggle hidden behind a happy life
Time flies, and ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. At this moment, Wang Mengmeng looked at the family photo placed in the middle of her dining table with deep feelings, her eyes fell on the couple who looked at each other and smiled, and tears quietly slipped down.
There is no doubt that it is her and her husband Cheng Lei now, although the years have left a mark on their faces, but their eyes gazing at each other affectionately are flashing with endless happiness.
Who can imagine what kind of hardships this couple with an age gap of 18 years has gone through? When they decided to make their relationship public, they were met with strong opposition and doubts from all walks of life, and even relatives and friends tried to stop the relationship.
What's even more heartbreaking is that Cheng Lei suffers from a family hereditary liver disease and has been bedridden for a long time, and sometimes when he is sober, he will tearfully say to Wang Mengmeng: "If I can't cure it, let's divorce, I don't want to drag you down."
Recalling those days, Wang Mengmeng's mind couldn't help but think of the scene of that night. How she cried bitterly, blaming Cheng Lei for his negative attitude, while patiently comforting and encouraging him to pick himself up again.
She firmly vowed to overcome the illness with Cheng Lei and welcome a better future together.
At this moment, a strong and powerful hand gently covered the back of Wang Mengmeng's hand, bringing her back to reality. She turned her head and saw Cheng Lei's eyes full of warmth and strength.
"It is precisely because of your indefatigable indemnity that I have regained the hope of life" Cheng Lei said affectionately, his eyes were full of deep gratitude Wang Mengmeng bowed slightly, holding her lover's hands tightly, everything they experienced will eventually turn into a beautiful legend of spending the rest of their lives together.
2. The touching story of getting acquainted with an outstanding predecessor for the first time
The starting point of this story goes back many years. At that time, Wang Mengmeng, although she was born in an ordinary family, had the lofty dream of becoming an excellent host.
The young Wang Mengmeng not only has a sweet appearance, but also has outstanding academic performance. In this way, she naturally became the darling of teachers and classmates in school.
Whenever the school holds evening activities, the teachers are always carefully selected and do not hesitate to push Wang Mengmeng to the stage, and it is these precious opportunities to play the role of the host, so that Wang Mengmeng planted the seeds of the dream of hosting in the depths of her heart.
In order to realize the dream hidden in her heart, Wang Mengmeng put in more hard work. With her outstanding academic performance, she successfully entered the prestigious Shanghai Institute of Visual Arts of Fudan University.
After entering the hall of the university, Wang Mengmeng faced a wider stage and more opportunities to show her talents.
The smart and intelligent Wang Mengmeng has always grasped the opportunity and actively participated in various activities of the school, winning the unanimous praise of teachers and students. Talented and energetic figures are often active on many campus stages.
Fortunately, a teacher with a unique vision had high hopes for Wang Mengmeng and recommended her to CCTV for an internship, paving a smooth path for her to realize her dream of hosting in the future.
Wang Mengmeng, who was full of enthusiasm, followed closely behind his predecessors like a "fart" after stepping into the CCTV gate, eager to learn valuable experience from them.
Her diligence and enthusiasm quickly won the high recognition and appreciation of her predecessors. In this way, Wang Mengmeng gradually realized her dream, successfully became a CCTV host, and emerged on this national stage.
However, it wasn't long before her life took a major turn – intersecting with the most important person in her life.
At the same time, Cheng Lei has carved out a world of his own on Dragon TV. He not only has profound professional qualities, but also has a very eloquent and humorous hosting style, which is deeply loved by the audience.
With his outstanding performance, Cheng Lei won the Golden Microphone Award, the highest honor in the hosting industry, and became the undisputed "first brother" of Dragon TV.
However, behind the flowers and applause, Cheng Lei has been waging an arduous struggle against a stubborn disease. He suffers from a family hereditary liver disease, which cannot be completely cured and can only be temporarily controlled with medication.
At countless moments on the verge of collapse, Cheng Lei even wavered in his beliefs. However, just as he was in despair, the angel in his life quietly descended, bringing him endless strength and hope.
3. The encounter of fate
In 2009, by chance, Wang Mengmeng and Cheng Lei met unexpectedly on Dragon TV. At first, Wang Mengmeng only regarded Cheng Lei as a respectable predecessor and a model for learning.
As the pillar of Dragon TV, Cheng Lei is undoubtedly a leader in the industry, and Wang Mengmeng will naturally often ask him for advice on problems in his work.
However, after a series of in-depth communication, Wang Mengmeng had an unexpected emotional change towards her colleague who was 18 years older than her! At first, she was worried about the large age gap between the two, and even condemned her ideas for being too bold in her heart.
However, with the in-depth interaction with Cheng Lei, her understanding of this person gradually deepened.
Cheng Lei is not only smart and funny, and he is highly praised for his work, but more importantly, he is humble and courteous, and he is full of sincerity and friendliness to everyone around him. As the most popular "first brother" in the industry, he could have been arrogant, but he still maintained his love for his career and his awe for life.
This noble personality charm deeply touched Wang Mengmeng's young and pure heart.
At the same time, the steady and mature Cheng Lei was also deeply attracted by Wang Mengmeng's "little pepper". In front of the audience, he always behaves calmly, but in front of Wang Mengmeng, he often feels at a loss.
She is so enthusiastic, innocent and lovely, and so diligent and studious, she puts all her energy into her work. Cheng Lei sincerely appreciates and likes this firm belief and positive attitude, and unconsciously, he has a special affection for Wang Mengmeng that transcends the teacher-student relationship.
At first, both were hesitant about the age gap. After all, the 18-year-old gap seemed insurmountable at the time. However, driven by genuine emotion, they finally mustered up the courage to take this step bravely.
In the face of all kinds of doubts from the outside world, they firmly believe in each other's inner resonance and decide to spend the rest of their lives together.
Soon after marriage, Wang Mengmeng deeply realized that she was married not only a life coach, but also a patient who needed her careful care. Cheng Lei, who used to be optimistic and cheerful, is now tormented by illness, and he even confessed to Wang Mengmeng in person: "If I can't be cured, let's divorce, I don't want to drag you down."
IV. Joint Conflict
When Wang Mengmeng heard Cheng Lei's words, how did she feel? Tears flowed like a spring, and she asked bitterly why her husband gave up so easily. However, in the blink of an eye, she thought again that Cheng Lei's body pain was so torturous, and the words he said were just a moment of emotional out-of-control.
Therefore, she began to patiently comfort her husband and encourage him to rekindle his thirst for life.
"I chose to marry you, not only to share the happy moment, but also to be able to walk through those hardships and obstacles side by side with you," Wang Mengmeng said these words with tears, and assured Cheng Lei with a solemn and serious attitude, "No matter what disease my husband suffers from, I will be by my side for the rest of my life, unswerving."
Although she is married to a wealthy family, she has no complaints about Wang Mengmeng. In order to devote herself to the responsibility of taking care of her husband, she did not hesitate to give up her beloved career as a host and instead devote herself to married life and family affairs.
Whenever Cheng Lei's condition fluctuated, she always rushed to the hospital bed without hesitation, comforted him with warm words, and held up a clear sky for him.
The once radiant girl gradually faded in the toil of day after day. However, as long as Cheng Lei's health can be seen, all the efforts are worth it.
She made a vow to overcome the disease with her lover and welcome a better future together.
Cheng Lei never expected that he would meet such a wife who loved him deeply. Seeing Wang Mengmeng's selfless dedication to himself, his heart was filled with deep gratitude, and at the same time, he also strengthened his belief in fighting the disease to the end.
Therefore, he actively cooperated with the doctor's treatment plan, while Wang Mengmeng always stayed by his side and took care of him meticulously.
With the joint efforts of the couple, Cheng Lei finally passed the darkest moment of his life, and his physical condition was getting better day by day. In 2015, they ushered in the crystallization of love - the birth of a lively and cute baby.
However, fate brought a heavy blow to Cheng Lei in a short period of time, just because he attended the birthday banquet of a wealthy businessman, he was severely punished by Oriental TV, and his salary was greatly reduced.
Sixth, revitalize
Faced with the sudden blow, Cheng Lei was confused for a while. From the former "Oriental First Brother" to the situation of being fired, this huge gap made him feel lost. However, fortunately, although Oriental TV no longer cares about him, Cheng Lei's influence in Shanghai is still unmatched.
In the past, he won the hearts of people with his talent and reputation for fame and fortune, but now he needs to rely on sincerity to regain public recognition. Despite the drastic reduction in salary, he was still invited to attend various business events.
Cheng Lei knows that all of this is due to the network and good reputation he has carefully built over the years.
What's more, during this challenging trough, Cheng Lei gained endless courage and motivation from his partner Wang Mengmeng. Witnessing his wife's hard work day and night to create a warm and beautiful family environment for them, Cheng Lei was deeply moved and grateful.
Indeed, even though the whole world questioned him, he still had this small family, which always loved him deeply and never gave up on him.
With the selfless support of his family, Cheng Lei quickly regained his fighting spirit and confidence. Time flies, and ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Once regarded as a "stable marriage", they have now become a model couple that everyone envies. In the long journey of life, Cheng Lei and Wang Mengmeng have experienced countless hardships and hardships, and because of this, they cherish the happiness in front of them even more.
Whenever they saw the child's innocent smile, Wang Mengmeng and Cheng Lei's hearts were full of satisfaction and relief. They hope that their children can grow up healthy and happy, and they can find their true love in the future, overcome all difficulties and setbacks with sincere love, and spend the rest of their lives together like them.
Although the years of fighting against fate are gone, the valuable experience they gave to the two protagonists will surely turn into a source of wisdom to guide the growth of children. If it weren't for those hardships, maybe there would not be a happy life today.
There is a kind of happiness that only those who have experienced the baptism of wind and rain can understand its true meaning.
6. Blessings and Messages
In this age of extreme material abundance, the moral power of love seems to be fading. Many people simply equate love with marriage, and easily choose to give up once they encounter some twists and turns.
However, it is "retrogrades" like Wang Mengmeng and Cheng Lei, with their firm belief and persistent pursuit of pure love, that make us firmly believe that true love is eternal.
Regardless of age, illness or chance, these seemingly insurmountable obstacles cannot shake the firm belief in the future of two people who truly love each other. They used practical actions to interpret what is the eternal vow of "foaming together until the end of life".
It is precisely because of their existence that we deeply understand that love is not just marriage, but to love each other with tolerance and cherishment. Age is not the decisive factor in love, the key is whether both parties have enough courage and determination to support and tolerate each other.
Life is too short, why not grasp the precious time, bravely pursue the things that the soul desires in the depths of the heart? I hope that every friend can meet the "Wang Mengmeng" or "Cheng Lei" in life, use sincere and warm affection, fight against countless obstacles on the road of life, and move towards the palace of happiness together.
I sincerely wish that the love between Wang Mengmeng and Cheng Lei will last for a long time, like a bright galaxy that will never wither. I hope that their beloved son who has tied the knot can grow up strongly, and in the days to come, they can find the true love that belongs to him/her and spend the rest of their lives together.
Let us send our deepest blessings to this couple who share hardships and hardships, and after going through the storm, they will compose a touching love legend!
