Her career was almost smooth sailing,
However, in 1999, life hit her with a huge blow -
Lou was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to undergo surgery to remove her breast.
In the face of such a major physical and psychological blow,
Lou Naiming's mood became extremely unstable,
Even serious enough to seek help from a psychiatrist.
The doctor asked a sensitive and direct question:
"Do you think your husband will leave you?"
Lou Naiming looked a little surprised:
"Why do you ask?"
The doctor explained,
Many times, when a spouse has a physical disability due to illness, their significant other may choose to leave.
Lou Naiming considered that her husband was 7 years younger than herself.
He can choose to leave his cancer-stricken self and find a young and beautiful wife again.
In this case, Lou Naiming's concerns seem reasonable.
But for her, it was completely superfluous.
The love story of Lou Naiming and Sun Wenju began with an unexpected encounter.
Lou Naiming, who is over forty years old, has been focusing on his career until he met Sun Wenju, the former head of the Huaihai Opera Troupe.
Sun Wenju was the male lead in the drama "Daystar" directed by Lou Naiming at that time.
He is very handsome and has good acting skills, and he is the "ideal type" in Lou Naiming's eyes.
Sun Wenju was also deeply attracted by Lou Naiming's true generosity and extraordinary charm.
But because Lou Naiming is his "top boss", he still chooses to hide this intention deep in his heart first.
Until one time when the two were alone, Lou Naiming took the lead in expressing his feelings.
Sun Wenju was overjoyed and responded to her love without hesitation.
The gears of fate began to turn.
Sun Wenju gradually became an indispensable companion in her life.
Of course, some people question whether this is true love or a kind of use in the workplace.
However, Lou Naiming didn't care about this.
What really made her hesitate was the age gap between the two.
Even so, Sun Wenju's sincerity and commitment to the future eventually moved her.
In 1992, the two entered the palace of marriage hand in hand.
Soon after marriage, Lou Naiming faced the test of breast cancer.
The sudden attack of the illness forced her to temporarily withdraw from the stage.
As a director and actor, Lou Naiming's life is full of highlight moments.
However, at the low point of life, it is easier to feel the warmth and coldness of human affection.
In the face of illness, many former colleagues and friends drifted away.
In the end, in addition to her relatives, the ones who really stayed with her were those friends who really cared about her.
This is the naked reality.
Under such circumstances, there are constant doubts from the outside world, and many people speculate whether this marriage can withstand many tests.
It is impossible for Lou Naiming not to waver a little in his heart.
But she thought to herself that instead of worrying about her husband leaving because of her illness and age, she should cherish each other's company more.
However, Sun Wenju proved his love with his actions -
He did not leave, but became Lou Naiming's strongest support.
Sun Wenju was by her side day and night, and actively searched for the best treatment plan for her.
Lou Naiming suddenly realized that being alive was more important than anything.
She eventually decided to undergo surgery.
When Lou Naiming had to remove his breast due to breast cancer,
Sun Wenju's support and care have not decreased, but have become more nuanced.
Sun Wenju will also carefully prepare nutritious meals and fruit and vegetable juices for Lou Naiming.
Make sure her body recovers in the best possible way.
His companionship and care helped Lou Naiming through the most difficult period of his life.
The relationship between the two is also deeper because of this.
After some treatment, Lou Naiming returned to work strong and continued her career as a director.
In 2000, the sitcom "Sister Idler" directed by Lou Naiming was widely acclaimed.
In 2001, after Lou Naiming recovered from a serious illness, he devoted himself to the work of the Spring Festival Gala.
And she and Sun Wenju have also become a model couple in the eyes of the public.
They broke all the prejudices about age and disease with practical actions.
The two also have a daughter, who is lively and cute, and is the "little padded jacket" of the two.
Yang Lan once said:
"The bond of marriage is not children or money, but the righteousness of heart."
This view resonated strongly with Lou Naiming.

Lou Naiming's role at home is a gentle mother and wife.
Now, 73-year-old Lou Naiming has withdrawn from the stage,
She and her husband are still living happily ever after.
The daily life of the two is simple and warm, and they enjoy the peace and joy of retirement together.
True love is the courage to rely on each other and move forward together in the most difficult times.
Such a marriage is really enviable.
The value of life lies not only in the scenery at its peak, but also in perseverance and mutual support in adversity.
Everyone's life can face challenges and difficulties,
But as long as there is love and faith, you can get out of the trough and find the meaning of life again.
No matter what happens, there are always more solutions than difficulties, and as long as you believe in love and hope, nothing is impossible to overcome.
Doesn't this just confirm the phrase "the road without heaven"?
Finally, I hope that each of us can remain optimistic and insist on the right to love and be loved when facing the challenges of life.
