Preface
What is fate? Is it a glimpse of passing by, or is it a battle side by side hand in hand? Perhaps when we look back on the past, we will suddenly realize that all kinds of encounters in life are just arrangements of fate.
The story of Zhao Jun and Zheng Weili is the masterpiece of this hand of fate.
However, fate is so impermanent that two people who love each other have come to the point of falling apart.
Is this the sorrow of human nature, or the helplessness of reality?
Young Zhao Jun: With the dream of being an actor
In 1963, Zhao Jun was born in a poor family in Jinan City, Shandong Province.
His father was an ordinary worker, and his mother was a housewife, who was in charge of the affairs of the family day and night.
Zhao Jun is the fifth child in the family, the eldest.
In the age of material scarcity, he never wore a decent new dress.
The clothes worn by other children, when they can't wear them, make up for them, change them, and they become Zhao Jun's "new clothes".
Even so, Zhao Jun never had any complaints.
Because in his heart, there is a bigger dream, which is to become an actor.
This dream originated from my father.
Zhao Jun's father loved opera, although he couldn't sing, but as long as he was free, he would sing loudly, and his loud voice often echoed in the small courtyard.
Under the influence of his father, Zhao Jun gradually fell in love with opera and acting.
He often sketches in his mind of himself standing on the stage, with the lights in focus, and the crowd is watching.
Although in reality, he can only play carefree in the mud, but the heart that yearns for performance has never stopped beating.
Zhao Jun in childhood was a complete "sycophant".
He always likes to cling to adults, and with his immature voice, he says something pleasing to people.
The neighbors praised him for his cleverness, saying that he would definitely become a big man in the future.
Although Zhao Jun's parents are not wealthy, they love this child deeply.
They will satisfy him as much as possible materially, and they will give him unlimited encouragement spiritually.
Whenever Zhao Jun talks about his dream of being an actor, his parents will always look at him lovingly and tell him: "Child, your parents believe in you, you will definitely be able to do it!"
However, the reality is not as rosy as the parents.
Zhao Jun, who is immersed in the art world, has seen his grades in cultural classes plummet.
Under the exam-oriented education, his dream of being an actor has also become unattainable.
The failure of the college entrance examination gave Zhao Jun the first taste of frustration.
He began to doubt himself, to doubt his dreams.
Is he too naïve? Should he have given up? For countless nights, Zhao Jun tossed and turned, with a lot of thoughts.
But the tribulations of life did not break the boy.
In the failure after failure, Zhao Jun became more and more determined in his dream.
He knows that the road of being an actor has never been easy.
But he is willing to give everything in exchange for a brilliant future.
As a result, he began to frantically apply for various art schools, and even if he failed repeatedly, he was never discouraged.
Even if he is reduced to the work of pulling the curtain in the troupe, Zhao Jun has no regrets.
Because he understands that dreams lie ahead.
As long as he is willing to work hard, one day, he will be one step closer to it.
Zheng Weili, the proud daughter of the sky
Unlike Zhao Jun, Zheng Weili's life trajectory can be described as smooth sailing.
She was born into a family of revolutionary soldiers and grew up in the army compound from an early age.
In that particular era, military families had an unusual status.
The children in the compound have received a good education since they were young, and their living conditions are much better than those of ordinary families.
Zheng Weili grew up in such a superior environment.
Zheng Weili, who was born beautiful, has shown amazing artistic talent since she was a child.
She has a clear voice and graceful dancing, both in dance and vocal music, she has an extraordinary understanding.
The parents saw it in their eyes and were happy in their hearts, and they even quietly decided to pave an artistic path for their daughter.
However, Zheng Weili has her own dreams.
Under the influence of her ears and eyes, she was determined to become a revolutionary soldier and contribute her own strength to the motherland.
This belief became more and more firm after she was admitted to Hubei Art School.
During her time in school, she studied hard and had a good character, and after graduating with excellent grades, she entered the Hubei Drama Theater to work.
The young Zheng Weili has become a beautiful scenery in the unit.
She is not only beautiful and kind-hearted, but also outstanding in her work.
Such an excellent girl quickly attracted the attention of the Beijing Naval Television Art Center.
With a yearning for military life, Zheng Weili resolutely chose to enlist in the army and began her military career.
In the army, Zheng Weili is like a fish in water.
She trained hard, worked hard, and soon stood out in various assessments.
The leaders appreciated her talents, and her comrades-in-arms admired her character.
At that time, it was the dream of countless art students to be able to enter such a national-level art group.
And Zheng Weili not only realized her dream, but also won glory for her family.
However, fate is quietly laying out in the dark.
Just when Zheng Weili's life was about to usher in a highlight moment, a man named Zhao Jun quietly walked into her world.
This encounter changed the trajectory of their lives.
Since then, in the long river of time, their fates have been tightly intertwined and can no longer be separated.
A fateful encounter
1982 was a fateful turning point for Zhao Jun.
After experiencing countless failures, he finally relied on his unyielding momentum and was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy.
This year is a year worth remembering for countless young people with acting dreams.
Because, it was in this year that the first generation of college students in China walked out of school and went to society.
For Zhao Jun, being able to enter the Beijing Film Academy to study is undoubtedly a dream come true.
Here, he is hungry for knowledge and honing his skills.
Under the careful guidance of his teacher, his talent for acting became increasingly apparent.
On the occasion of graduation, he participated in the first TV series in his life, and since then he has started his acting career.
One day three years later, by chance, Zhao Jun starred in a military-themed TV series.
This time, he not only gained the love of the audience, but also gained an unforgettable love.
It was a sunny day, and Zhao Jun was working his lines in the crew.
Suddenly, a crisp voice interrupted his thoughts: "Hello, I'm Zheng Weili, and I'm your rival actor."
Zhao Jun looked up and saw a girl in military uniform standing in front of him, smiling and stretching out her hand.
In an instant, Zhao Jun felt that his heartbeat missed a beat.
The girl in front of him was so beautiful and dazzling, as if she was the muse of his dreams.
When he auditioned, he had an inexplicable liking for this role, but the moment he really saw Zheng Weili, he understood that it was love at first sight, and this was what it felt.
In the days that followed, Zhao Jun and Zheng Weili were inseparable in and out of the play.
They discuss scripts together, share lives together, and look forward to the future together.
The tacit understanding between the two people made others stunned.
After a few months of getting along, they were convinced that each other was the person they were looking for.
So, on a romantic night, Zhao Jun proposed to Zheng Weili.
There are no luxurious rings, no extravagant ceremonies, and some are just two people who love each other and make a lifelong commitment.
In 1994, Zhao Jun and Zheng Weili officially became husband and wife.
In order to celebrate this special day, they joined hands again and starred in a TV series "The Spirit of Wu Erge".
This time, they not only played a loving couple in the play, but also started a sweet husband and wife life in real life.
With a successful career and a happy love, life seemed to be better for them at that time.
However, as Zhao Jun said later: "Marriage is never a fairy tale. It requires two people to keep learning and keep running-in. Behind the sweetness, contradictions and conflicts are also quietly breeding.
It's just that at that time, they were still immersed in the happiness of love, and they were unaware of the upcoming test.
Rifts in marriage
With the birth of their son, the marriage of Zhao Jun and Zheng Weili began to show a crack.
As new parents, they all want to give their children the best possible life.
But the cruelty of reality makes them have to face a choice: to devote themselves to their careers and create better material conditions for their children; Or slow down and spend more time with your child's growth?
Just when the two were helpless, an attractive opportunity was placed in front of Zhao Jun.
It was a big-budget TV series, and the director first thought of Zhao Jun as the actor.
This role can not only take Zhao Jun's career to the next level, but also means a considerable salary income.
For them who have just become parents, this is undoubtedly an opportunity to change their fate.
However, taking over this role means that Zhao Jun has to film outside for a long time and has no time to take care of his family.
Zheng Weili was not without worries in her heart, but seeing the expectation in her husband's eyes, she still chose to support.
She told Zhao Jun: "I will take care of the child, you just have to chase your dreams boldly and boldly." In this way, with his wife's entrustment, Zhao Jun plunged headlong into the tense shooting.
In the first days, everything went well.
Although Zheng Weili has to bear the burden of the family alone, she has no complaints.
Every month, she will take time to take her children to visit the class and surprise Zhao Jun.
Seeing the smiling faces of his wife and children, the guilt in Zhao Jun's heart will also be reduced a little.
However, as the filming cycle lengthened, the two spent less and less time together.
The original sweet love has also begun to change its taste.
Zheng Weili began to feel aggrieved.
Her youth and enthusiasm are dedicated to the family.
In exchange, it is a long time to stay alone in the empty house, and endless debts to the children.
Sometimes, when the child cries in the middle of the night, she has to force herself up to take care of her.
But looking at the empty bed beside her, she still felt a chill in her heart.
Isn't Zhao Jun full of guilt? Every time he saw his wife's increasingly haggard face, he longed to break himself in half.
half went to filming to realize their dreams; Half stayed at home to give his wife and children a complete home.
But realistically, where are there so many perfect options? In order to let his family live a better life, he could only grit his teeth and persevere, burying all his reluctance and thoughts in the bottom of his heart.
Contradictions, day after day, slowly accumulate.
When the issue of their son's education was put in front of the two, the disagreement finally broke out.
Zheng Weili hopes that Zhao Jun can spend more time with her son, but Zhao Jun believes that creating better material conditions for the child is the top priority.
There were constant quarrels, and no one was willing to back down.
The trajectories of life are very different
The divorce was a huge blow to Zhao Jun.
He once thought that this was just a temporary quarrel, but he didn't expect that it would be a farewell.
He sank for a while, but eventually found solace in his career.
The birth of one classic role after another has allowed him to reach the peak of his acting career.
It's just that in the dead of night, he always thinks of his son's voice and smile.
He secretly paid attention to his son's life, but did not dare to disturb his growth.
For 20 years, Zhao Jun has been single, as if he is atoning for his sins, and as if he is waiting.
Zheng Weili, on the other hand, met Du Chun's father, Du Zhiguo, not long after the divorce.
At first, she was worried that remarriage would affect her son's life, but Du Zhiguo's sincerity moved her.
Under the careful care of her husband, her son bathed in the warmth of the family and grew up healthy and happy.
Hearing the news of his ex-wife's remarriage, although Zhao Jun had regrets, he was more relieved.
He understands that his shortcomings in marriage are the reason for the current situation.
He sincerely hopes that Zheng Weili can find happiness and his son can have a complete home.
epilogue
The story of Zhao Jun and Zheng Weili is the epitome of countless marriages in real life.
The pursuit of a career and the management of a family are not contradictory, but under the test of reality, it is difficult to balance.
As Zhao Jun said, if he could have been as considerate as Du Zhiguo at the beginning, maybe the ending would not have been like this.
But there are no ifs in life, and we can only learn to grow in the mistakes.
Perhaps, those who have experienced hardship can cherish the happiness in front of them even more.
Or perhaps, only with wisdom can we understand the true meaning of love.
The story of Zhao Jun and Zheng Weili brings us not only moving, but also thinking about life and love.
Marriage is never a fairy tale, it needs to be run by two people.
Love is not achieved overnight, it takes us a lifetime to learn.
Therefore, let us cherish everyone around us with the reverence for life, and manage every feeling with our hearts.
Perhaps, on the road of life, we will inevitably have falls and regrets, but as long as we always have hope and always believe in the power of love, then we will eventually find our own happiness.
