The table lamp exudes a soft halo, sprinkled on Ren Chengwei's firm and resolute face like a mother's care. At this moment, his eyes were slightly closed, and his thoughts traveled back in time, as if he had traveled back to the distant past—a time that was so emotional 27 years ago.
Suddenly, the host's question was like a loud thunder, and a surging wave surged deep in his heart.
Did he, who had sworn never to abandon his tireless wife, truly fulfilled that sacred and solemn promise? Faced with such a question, Ren Chengwei was shocked and his heart was stirred.
In front of his eyes, the unforgettable and beautiful summer scene immediately emerged, Huang Lei was wearing a white wedding dress, with the gradual softening of the sunset, it looked gorgeous and noble, incomparable beauty like a fairy descending into the world, and he, wearing an unpretentious suit, holding a bouquet of delicate flowers in his hand, with an extremely happy smile on his face.
Although they had a difficult life at that time, no house or car, and could not even hold a decent wedding, the sincere feelings between them became the most precious gift in each other's lives.
Ren Chengwei vividly remembers that the simple and warm wedding cost only 9 yuan, but for them, the value of this 9 yuan is far better than any dazzling diamond.
The days after the marriage were not easy, and the so-called "new house" they were assigned to was actually just a dark and damp 9-square-meter "basement". With the exception of a double bed and a desk, the rest of the furniture had to be reluctantly placed in the hallway outside.
However, even with such difficult living conditions, Huang Lei is still full of endless expectations and joy for this marriage.
Soon after, Huang Lei became pregnant, and the financial pressure of the couple doubled instantly. In order to pay for the high cost of baby formula, Huang Lei had to run around after work, looking for some temporary voice-over jobs to earn a meager income.
Once, Huang Lei came home from work early, only to find that there was nothing at home except for a bowl of clear soup noodles.
Ren Chengwei pushed open the door and walked into the house, and saw his wife Huang Lei squatting on the edge of the bed, silently tasting the bowl of clear soup noodles. The scene in front of him seemed to bring him back to the difficult years 27 years ago.
In the scorching summer of 1996, they bid farewell to their single life at a price of only 9 yuan, and walked into the palace of marriage hand in hand.
Even though life is tight, Huang Lei did not show any dissatisfaction. She is like a child, full of enthusiasm and anticipation for this new marriage journey. It didn't take long for a new life to creep into their lives, and the family's expenses skyrocketed.
In order to be able to buy more high-quality milk powder and diapers for her children, Huang Lei is always tired after work every day, searching for various temporary dubbing jobs to earn extra income.
Sometimes, she would even leave home before Ren Chengwei woke up, and only after Ren Chengwei fell asleep peacefully did she drag her tired body back home.
Whenever she receives her salary at the end of the month, Huang Lei's income is often several times that of Ren Chengwei. However, she was never willing to spend this money on herself, most of it was sent back to her hometown to her children, and almost all of the remaining part was used to buy daily necessities for Ren Chengwei.
One day, Huang Lei returned home from work early and found that only the last handful of dried noodles remained in the cupboard. In order to save money, she did not choose to go out to buy ingredients, but instead took a small pot of water in the corridor and began to cook dinner by herself.
Ren Chengwei pushed the door and entered, and saw his wife Huang Lei squatting on the edge of the bed silently tasting the bowl of clear soup noodles, and instantly burst into tears. His heart was filled with endless guilt and self-blame.
It was at that moment that Ren Chengwei was determined to do everything he could to change the current poverty situation! From then on, he was like a desperate beast, no matter the size of the role or the quality of the crew, as long as he could exchange it for a meager remuneration, he would not hesitate to accept it.
Sometimes in order to win a role, Ren Chengwei is even willing to wait a whole day on the set. Although the job was extremely difficult, he still gritted his teeth and persevered, because he knew that only in this way could he make his wife live a better life.
After years of unremitting struggle, it finally ushered in fruitful results. More and more well-known directors began to pay attention to this hard-working and studious actor, and Ren Chengwei's acting career was thriving.
However, just as Ren Chengwei's career was in full swing, his wife Huang Lei had already achieved good results at the Beijing Youth Art Theater. She not only succeeded in winning the important role of the leading role, but also won the unanimous praise of the leaders of the troupe, and was known as the leader of the theater.
In stark contrast to the prosperity of his wife's career, Ren Chengwei's shabby situation in the theater as a deputy is particularly glaring. During that time, he was neglected in a supporting role for a long time, and he could only receive a meager salary every month, only more than 200 yuan.
Seeing that his wife's career is developing rapidly and has already surpassed himself, Ren Chengwei has an indescribable inferiority complex in his heart.
He began to worry deeply, afraid that he would not be able to bring Huang Lei the ideal happy life, let alone meet her expectations for a high-quality life. Under the torment of this inferiority complex, Ren Chengwei even came up with the idea of breaking up with Huang Lei, thinking that maybe his wife should find a better and more potential partner.
However, when Ren Chengwei cautiously proposed to Huang Lei to break up, his wife's reaction surprised him.
Facing his wife's affectionate confession, Ren Chengwei couldn't help but burst into tears and hugged Huang Lei tightly.
Just a few days later, the two of them received a marriage certificate at the Civil Affairs Bureau at a price of 9 yuan, officially starting a new marriage journey.
Ren Chengwei was deeply touched by his wife Huang Lei's heartfelt words, and he decided to change the current difficult situation. He gritted his teeth and devoted himself to the struggle of his career.
In 2001, Ren Chengwei was warmly invited by the crew of the TV series "Love on the Edge of Life and Death", and a few months later, he got the precious opportunity to participate in the series "Snow Without a Trace".
In the face of these hard-won opportunities, Ren Chengwei devoted himself to acting, fully prepared for each role, and studied the script and character in depth. After years of unremitting efforts and persistent pursuit, he finally ushered in fruitful results and gradually emerged in the industry.
More and more well-known directors began to impress him and threw olive branches to him.
After making a major breakthrough in his career, Ren Chengwei's living situation has also undergone earth-shaking changes. What's even more fortunate is that he did not live up to the solemn promise he made to his wife Huang Lei.
Ren Chengwei connected his wife Huang Lei into a new, spacious and bright new home, away from the narrow and dilapidated 9-square-meter "basement". In order to let his wife enjoy a carefree life, he generously gave his salary card as a gift to Huang Lei, allowing her to use it as she pleased.
Since then, Ms. Huang Lei has no longer been as tireless as she used to be, looking for odd part-time jobs to support her family. And Mr. Ren Chengwei gave everything he had to create a peaceful and quiet life world for his beloved wife, so that she successfully got rid of the difficult years of poverty and hardship.
Although he has made certain achievements in his career, Mr. Ren Chengwei still maintains a low-key and humble attitude towards life. Whenever he was asked for a non-work-related or low-importance social event, he politely declined it, choosing to devote more time to the warm time with his family.
In the eyes of others, Mr. Ren Chengwei's love for his wife has almost reached the level of "strict wife", but he himself does not care about this, but is filled with an indescribable sense of happiness.
Because in his heart, Ms. Huang Lei is undoubtedly the most precious treasure in his life, the only bright color in those years full of tribulations, and at the same time a strong spiritual pillar that inspires him to persevere and succeed.
For 27 years, Mr. Ren Chengwei has always regarded his wife as an indispensable and priceless treasure in his life, and his deep affection has never wavered in the slightest. Even when he recently successfully portrayed the role of "Three Treasures" Liang Hongwei in the hit TV series "County Party Committee Compound", he did not forget to use this role to convey his deep affection for his wife.
To sum up, the marriage between Mr. Ren Chengwei and Ms. Huang Lei can be called a model in the entertainment industry. They went hand in hand, experienced the ups and downs of life together, and shared the glory of their careers.
The couple perfectly interpreted the true meaning of marriage of "sharing joys and sorrows, joys and joys" with practical actions, and it is precisely because of this that Mr. Ren Chengwei was able to proudly reply after 27 years: "Yes, I have fulfilled my promise to my wife."
