On a lazy afternoon in 1999, when the future of his career was like a vague picture unfolding in front of Dai Jun's eyes, he fell into a deep confusion, a phone call from an unknown female voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
This mysterious lady named Li Jing invited Dai Jun to join her team with great sincerity to plan and produce a talk show that had never been done before.
Although the two had never known each other in their lives, Li Jing's sincere words deeply touched Dai Jun. As a veteran artist who has experienced the baptism of wind and rain, Dai Jun is well aware of the rarity of this opportunity, so he accepted Li Jing's invitation without hesitation.
Since then, the two talented people have worked closely together to create a high-profile talk show called "Super Interview".
At first, the partnership between Dai Jun and Li Jing was more like two strangers, they carefully explored each other, testing each other's bottom line, for fear of taking a wrong step. However, it didn't take long for them to discover an amazing understanding between each other - Dai Jun was gentle on the outside and firm on the inside, while Li Jing was resolute and quick in thinking, and the two cooperated perfectly on the show.
Whenever Li Jing hosts an interview, Dai Jun always focuses on her elegant and serene profile, capturing every subtle change in her expression. And when Li Jing encounters problems, Dai Jun can always insert topics in a timely manner to inject new vitality into the show.
Their cooperation is impeccable, day and night, like a pair of close friends.
In this way, in the next 16 spring and autumn seasons, "Super Interview" successfully interviewed many dazzling stars, such as Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Zhang Yimou, Zhu Yin, etc., which shows the great influence of the show.
And Dai Jun and Li Jing have also developed from strange partners at the beginning to friends with hearts and solid and reliable working partners in this long time.
Her smile was deeply imprinted in my mind. Dai Jun's eyes were eclipsed, as if he was looking through the street scene outside the window to see the distant past.
Those times spent together can't be erased in his memory.
Yes, Dai Jun is sincerely in love with this woman. He admired her intelligence, independence, kindness and gentleness, and was even more moved by her persistent pursuit of her career. However, this deep emotion has never had the opportunity to be confided, and can only be buried in the deepest part of the heart forever.
"In the 16 years we've been working together, we've been inseparable. Dai Jun smiled a little mischievously, but the corners of his eyes flashed with tears, "I cherish every second I spend with her, and I am afraid that any slight negligence will destroy this hard-won fate."
Looking back on the past, the tacit cooperation between Dai Jun and Li Jing is like a pair of beautiful people, impeccable. They were either in the studio discussing the program or chatting about the strange things in different places during their breaks.
Sometimes, Dai Jun can't help but look at Li Jing a few more times and admire her eloquent demeanor. However, Li Jing seems to be unaware of it, and still regards him as his closest friend.
And so it was, day after day, year after year. Dai Jun's secret love has gradually sublimated under the baptism of the years, from the initial admiration, to an almost sacred love.
However, time flies, and the years are merciless.
For Dai Jun, this was undoubtedly a heavy blow, completely shattering the last expectation in his heart. Sixteen years of silent waiting and surging affection have disappeared like this.
"No, how is this possible?!" When Dai Jun learned the news from Li Jing that she was about to enter the marriage hall, his eyes widened and he stared at the gentle and virtuous woman in front of him in disbelief.
Dai Jun's hands trembled slightly, his mind was blank, only the sound of his heartbeat echoed in his ears, as if it was about to burst through his chest. This sudden bad news was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, hitting the last hope in his heart.
"I thought it would ...... You understand the feelings between us. Dai Jun's eyes suddenly moistened, and he bit his lip tightly, trying not to reveal the slightest vulnerability. was originally full of thoughts, but at this moment, all the things that came to his heart made him choke up and couldn't speak.
Li Jing's face showed a hint of apology, but it seemed to be expected. She shook her head slightly: "I'm sorry, I never treated you as a lover. There is nothing but pure friendship between us.
His heart felt as if it was being clutched, and he could barely breathe in pain. Sixteen years of silent anticipation and surging affection have come to naught, leaving only endless regrets and burdens.
Facing Dai Jun's reproachful questioning, Li Jing's face darkened. She naturally knew in her heart what Dai Jun's feelings were for her, but she always chose to avoid and refused to face the true face of this feeling.
"I'm sorry to surprise you. There was a slight tremor in her words, "However, I have never regarded you as my lover, and our affection is limited to the level of deep friendship.
Faced with Dai Jun's criticism, Li Jing could only shake her head helplessly, and then slowly told the true story between them.
It turned out that in that era, talk shows like "Super Interview" could be described as a brand new attempt. As the initiator, Li Jing was also in a tentative mood at the beginning, and it was undoubtedly a bold adventure to work with Dai Jun.
However, it was not long before she was impressed by Dai Jun's meticulousness and professionalism. The two gradually became one in their work, and the tacit understanding on the show scene was so good that it was like a heart-to-heart connection.
In the following 16 years, they worked together and successfully interviewed many hot celebrities, such as Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Zhang Yimou and others, which shows its popularity.
"Didn't you ever perceive my intentions?" Dai Jun asked in a choked voice, his eyes revealing endless loss.
Li Jing's eyes flashed with a trace of pain and guilt: "Yes, I do have special feelings for you. But this kind of affection is not love, but comes from the deep admiration, appreciation and dependence of the heart.
"You are my closest confidant, my soulmate in life. Li Jing said sincerely, "Unfortunately, we are too familiar with each other, which leads to the loss of that mysterious attraction."
Love needs freshness, proper distance and strangeness. Friendship, on the other hand, is like family affection, and being too close can become an obstacle.
"That's why we can't come together. She looked at Dai Jun, her eyes full of apology and distress, "I have never regarded you as a lover, but only the most cherished friend in my life."
Dai Jun fell silent, rubbing his temples vigorously as if he were making some big decision. At this moment, his heart was full of pain, struggle, and even a faint desire for freedom.
After a long period of hidden emotions, they are finally shattered by the cruel reality and cannot be resisted. Dai Jun fell into a long silence, and after sighing deeply, he resolutely raised his head to meet Li Jing in front of him, his eyes determined and fearless.
"I sincerely hope that you will be happy, even if it does not come from me. He confessed, his tone full of relief and open-mindedness, "You are right, there is indeed an indescribable connection between us.
However, it may be more appropriate to let this involvement stop at the first beautiful moment".
The corners of Dai Jun's mouth were slightly raised, but there were tears flashing in his eyes: "I will sincerely wish you a happy marriage, and at the same time, I will cherish the deep friendship between us." ”
"Let go, that's the real great wisdom!" he opened his arms to Li Jing and hugged his former confidant and friend tightly. Tears could no longer be suppressed from their eyes, scorching dripping onto their shoulders.
"I've loved you deeply for 16 years. Dai Jun whispered in her ear, his voice hoarse but full of affection, "Even if you choose someone else as your companion in the end, I will still love you forever until the end of my life."
Since then, Dai Jun seems to have gotten rid of the heaviest shackles in his heart and regained the joy of life. He became an avid traveler, often packing his bags on his own and travelling around the world to create art.
Unconsciously, he was also obsessed with literary creation, depicting the thousands of beautiful scenery in the world with delicate brushstrokes and recording all kinds of situations in the world.
Behind the seemingly prosaic words, there is always an endless melancholy. In the article, he wrote: "In this world, there is not much perfection. Many times, we have to learn to let go of attachments and live in the moment.
Life is like a long journey, and everything is destined to go smoothly. After years of struggle and pain, Dai Jun finally chose to let go of the attachment in his heart and face the reality calmly.
Sometimes, letting go doesn't mean giving up, it's a form of wisdom. Nostalgia for the past is important, but it's even more important to live in the present and cherish what you have in front of you.
Dai Jun understands this well, so he devotes himself to his career and life.
His love for travel sketching grew stronger and stronger, and he often embarked on long journeys alone with his luggage on his back, traveling to all corners of the world. Whether it is the hot desert or the cold polar circle, or the relics of ancient civilization and the original tropical rainforest, all of them have made him work tirelessly, and all of them are included in the painting.
The wonderful scenery on the way is permanently frozen by his keen and poetic brushstrokes.
Since that special moment, Dai Jun's passion for literary creation has been in full swing. He released the ups and downs of his heart between the lines, vividly portraying the moments of life.
Although the words are plain, there is always an indescribable melancholy and emotion in them.
"In this world, perfection is not easy to come by. In the article, he wrote, "Many times, we have to learn to let go of attachments, live in the moment, and value what we have in front of us."
Indeed, life is too short and the future is bleak. We must not let the regrets and losses of the past hinder the pace of progress, but must bravely face the reality and pursue our own ideals and happiness in a limited time.
Just as Dai Jun finally chose to let go, he sent his most sincere blessings to his former best friend, adjusted his mentality and devoted himself to work and life.
This is where the true value of life lies, and it is also the wisdom of life that each of us should deeply understand and master. Only by having the courage to embrace change can we achieve self-breakthrough and temper a purer state of life in the midst of adversity.
