1. A film and television superstar who is immersed in loneliness and dies alone
In the hospital bed, the aged 68-year-old movie superstar Li Chengru lies alone, his face full of deep wrinkles and endless tiredness and remorse. His eyes were empty and unfocused, staring out the window at the branches and leaves swaying in the wind, as if searching for something that had been lost for a long time.
The ward was silent, and he could no longer reproduce the hustle and bustle of the past, with no relatives and friends around, only the monotonous and harsh "ticking" sound of the cold medical equipment, which always reminded him that he was gradually approaching the end of his life.
Li Chengru's health deteriorated and he frequently needed to be hospitalized for treatment. The severe cardiovascular disease caused by diabetes is like an extremely sharp knife, ruthlessly cutting his life.
Faced with the many infusion bottles and oxygen tanks in the ward, his heart was full of fear and loneliness. Recalling the glory days of his youth, he once shone on the stage and attracted the crazy pursuit and love of countless fans.
But now, all he has left is a scrawny body full of silver hair, and it is difficult to find even a relative or friend.
What was it that put him in such a lonely and helpless situation? Li Chengru's mind began to think of the neglect and harm to his family when he was young. At that time, he was mired in the quagmire of Vanity Fair, completely ignoring the feelings of his wife and children.
Now, his wife is separated, his family and friends are far away, and no one comes to visit, which is undoubtedly the heaviest mistake he has made in the past.
Guilt, remorse, self-blame...... All kinds of complex emotions poured into his heart like a tide, and Li Chengru's eyes couldn't help but burst into tears. He began to reflect on the arrogance and ignorance of his youth, and if he could cherish his family more, maybe his life would be better.
However, it was too late, and the warmth of family affection that was missed was destined to be lost forever.
Second, the wife who has gone through hardships and pursued her artistic dreams
During his time at school, Shi Yihong was favored by the famous Peking Opera educator Zhang Meijuan. Zhang Meijuan not only personally guided her, but also actively recommended her to learn from other masters. Under the careful cultivation of these masters, Shi Yihong's Peking Opera skills have become increasingly sophisticated, and he won the second prize in the National Television Peking Opera Competition at the age of 14.
He went all out in his frenzied and passionate pursuits, spared no romantic means, flowers flew all over the sky, moving songs echoed in his ears, and impassioned speeches were shocking, all these magnificent techniques were exhausted.
In order to have a more in-depth exchange and communication with Shi Yihong, Li Chengru actually broke the boat, challenged himself, and threw himself into the world of Peking Opera.
In the end, Shi Yihong, who was deeply moved by Li Chengru's incomparable sincerity and firm belief, accepted his marriage proposal, and the two entered the sacred marriage hall hand in hand.
3. The bitter journey of the artist into the industry
When it comes to Li Chengru's road to the entertainment industry, it can be said that it is full of twists and turns. In 1954, he was born in an ordinary working family in Beijing, and lived in poverty since childhood.
As a teenager, Li Chengru developed a strong interest in theater performance, and had a dream to one day stand in the center of the stage and show his talent.
At the age of 16, in order to make ends meet, Li Chengru had to work in a garment factory. However, he did not give up his dream, but used his spare time to actively participate in the school's drama performances and constantly hone his acting skills.
He knows that only acting can bring him endless joy and a sense of accomplishment.
As he grew older, Lee Sung-ru's desire to become an actor became stronger. Finally, at the age of 20, he resolutely quit his job and devoted himself to the amateur acting training class of Beijing Film Academy, and began to systematically learn acting skills and theoretical knowledge.
Despite his poor family, Li Chengru never lost faith in his dreams.
In 1981, 27-year-old Li Chengru finally realized his dream and successfully stepped into the entertainment industry, however, he only worked as a drama manager on the filming site of the TV series "Journey to the West". Despite his humble status, Li Chengru has never lost confidence in his dreams and has always worked silently to lay a solid foundation for becoming a big star in the future.
Five years of drama career has made him deeply understand the hardships of film and television production.
It was not until 1990 that 36-year-old Li Chengru played the role of Wu Yongmin in the TV series "Sunrise in the East and Rain in the West", and returned to the film and television industry as an actor. Despite the difficulties and setbacks he encountered along the way, he never gave up on his dreams, and gradually climbed to the top of his life with perseverance and dedication to his career.
Fourth, the sweet marriage ended without a problem
When it comes to Mr. Li Chengru's first true daughter, Li Shirong, it is really a love story that makes people feel heartache and sigh! In 1984, Li Chengru was already successful and was preparing to conclude a beautiful family that belonged to him, and by chance, he met Ms. Li Shirong through a friend's recommendation.
Although Ms. Lee Se Young's appearance is not outstanding, Mr. Lee Sung Ru was deeply attracted by her inner noble character and gentle and virtuous character, and after a short time together, the two quickly fell in love and decided to walk hand in hand into the sacred hall of marriage.
At first, their married life could be described as happy and happy, and the two loved each other sweetly and respected each other. Mr. Li Chengru cares for his wife and does his best to protect this warm little family.
However, when his career climbed to the top and his wealth amassed more and more, fate ruthlessly played a cruel joke on the couple.
Mr. Lee Sung-ru began to ignore the promises of his wife, Ms. Lee Se-young, and his deep affection for her gradually dissipated. Under the temptation of Vanity Fair, he finally made an incredible decision - resolutely divorced Ms. Li Shirong and abandoned the poor woman.
After the divorce, Mr. Li Chengru quickly rose to prominence in the business world with the smooth sailing of his career, surrounded by luxury houses, famous cars and BMWs, and celebrities from high society.
However, in stark contrast, Ms. Li Shirong and her son Li Dahai live a life of overstretched and poverty.
They can only live in a cramped room of only 18 square meters, sharing the kitchen and bathroom with others. Ms. Li Shirong's meager salary is barely enough to make ends meet, and Li Dahai has had to interrupt his studies since he was a child and go out to work to support his family.
Despite the hardships of life, the mother and son never complained about their fate, but always maintained a positive and optimistic attitude to face it bravely.
5. The rupture and repair of the father-child relationship
Since childhood, Li Dahai's love and talent for music are unmatched. Whenever he ran into the school's music classroom alone and immersed himself in the world of playing the piano, his face was always filled with a happy smile.
However, Mr. Li Chengru never understood his son's obsession with music, and instead believed that it would affect his academic performance.
Therefore, from time to time, Li Chengru severely reprimanded Li Dahai with his serious attitude, and even directly forbade him to go to the music classroom, doing his best to prevent him from practicing the piano. In the face of such cold treatment and reprimands from his father, Li Dahai suffered a huge trauma in his heart, his love for music gradually cooled, and his self-confidence also fell.
His father's incomprehension of his dream of music became an eternal pain in his heart.
After becoming an adult, Li Dahai resolutely left home and devoted himself to the entertainment industry, hoping to achieve brilliant achievements in the field of music through his unremitting efforts. However, Li Chengru still objected to this, believing that the future of his acting career was uncertain and full of uncertainties, and instead persuaded his son to change careers and engage in commercial activities.
In the eyes of the father, the son does not seem to have any outstanding talents.
Li Dahai can only struggle alone in the entertainment industry, but his father Li Chengru has never given him substantial assistance and support, which makes him feel aggrieved and dissatisfied. Once, Li Dahai tried to borrow a piano from his father's house to practice, but not only did he fail to do so, but he was ridiculed and abused by his father and ruthlessly expelled from the house.
This made Li Dahai deeply realize that his father did not regard him as his closest relatives.
Until he was over the age of six, Li Chengru's physical condition deteriorated day by day, suffering from serious diabetes complications, and he was frequently admitted to the hospital for treatment. The loneliness and emptiness of his daily hospital room made him reflect on his own mistakes to his loved ones.
He realized that his son was the only person he was connected to, but he was drifting away due to a momentary misunderstanding, so he took the initiative to contact Li Dahai and wanted to apologize for a limousine.
