That day was an important day for his son to enter adulthood - at dawn on his eighteenth birthday, Yang Lan walked into his son's bedroom with a thick diary full of affection.
The gentle sunlight poured down and gently covered her face, revealing endless joy.
"Happy birthday, my precious darling!" Yang Lan conveyed his deep blessings to his son in a whisper, and solemnly handed the diary into his son's hands, "This is a unique gift, and my mother has carefully painted a picture of your life in the past eighteen years with love. The son took the diary and opened the home page with curiosity. At that moment, Yang Lan's thoughts seemed to travel through time and space, returning to the hopeful hospital delivery room eighteen years ago.
She clearly remembers the moment when that little life was gently put into her arms, and her heart swelled with indescribable excitement and joy.
A sense of happiness and responsibility that she had never felt before came like a tide, and she secretly vowed to do her best to protect this new life.
That's right, from that moment on, she developed a good habit of careful recording. The diary is a detailed account of my son's moments: the first cry, the first smile, the toddler, the magical word "Mommy...... Until he entered the school, participated in various activities, and won various honors, Yang Lan never missed a moment worth remembering.
The pages of the diary, like a vivid movie, witness the process of the son's gradual growth from an infant to a teenager. Yang Lan treasured all these precious memories in this thin diary as the most valuable "gift" for his son in the past 18 years.
Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and in a blink of an eye, the son has grown into an adult. Alone in his room, flipping through his mother's diary, his son's eyes could not help but burst into tears. Those bits and pieces of the past instantly came to mind, and for the first time, he deeply felt his mother's deep and unwavering love for him.
Finally, the door was slowly pushed open, and the son walked out, hugging Yang Lan tightly, and his tone was full of gratitude: "Thank you, Mom, for creating a perfect childhood for me with love and hard work."
The corners of Yang Lan's eyes also flashed with crystal tears, and she hugged her son vigorously, reminiscing about the hardships and joys she had experienced as a mother. Although the road to having children is full of challenges, the happiness of being able to grow up with this flesh-and-blood child is indescribable.
26-year-old Yang Lan's career is like the rising sun that erupts, burning with youthful blood and shining in the direction. The classic interview column "Interview with Yang Lan" hosted by her was shocked like a comet piercing the sky, leading the spirit of the times, and her personal charm is like a bright star, shining and eye-catching.
However, at the peak of her career, she made a decision that made everyone jaw-dropping - she took the initiative to resign, leave CCTV, the stage that everyone yearns for, and devote herself to family life.
Looking back on his past years of study and career, Yang Lan is like going back in time. Born in a scholarly family, she has been immersed in a strong cultural atmosphere since she was a child, and has been deeply taught by her parents, especially her love of English.
With her outstanding language talent, she was successfully admitted to Beijing University of Foreign Chinese, and after graduation, she won the Golden Microphone Award, the highest honor in the hosting industry, with her unique hosting style and professional business ability.
seems to have a bright future, but Yang Lan did not hesitate to make another major choice in her life - in order to give birth to a new life, she resolutely gave up the golden period of her career.
"At that time, I suddenly realized that becoming a mother is my most important career and lifelong pursuit," Yang Lan said with emotion.
Shortly after her resignation, on October 27, 1995, she married business magnate Wu Zheng and started a new chapter in her life. A year later, their love crystallized - a son was born. As a highly professional woman, Yang Lan endured nausea, dizziness and other discomforts during pregnancy, but she always endured it silently without complaints, only hoping that the fetus in her womb could grow up healthily.
The time of the year slipped away quietly under careful care. Although the process was full of hardships, Yang Lan's deep love for her son made her experience an unprecedented sense of happiness and responsibility.
When she returned to work, she found that her passion for her career remained the same, but her love for her son deepened. No matter how busy she is, she always finds time to take care of her son's daily life, playing, studying, chatting with him, and doing her best to create a warm and harmonious family atmosphere.
It was this year's precious experience that made Yang Lan deeply understand the greatness and value of motherhood, and her son became the most cherished part of her life. And the diary, which has been recorded since the day of the son's birth, is a precious memorial to witness this precious journey.
From the moment he was born as a child, Yang Lan was firmly committed to the long journey of writing a diary. With the arrival of a new life, she longed to record every key moment in her son's growth through that passionate brushstroke.
The first cry of the newborn, the first smile, the first toddler, and even the first sincere call to "Mom"... All these precious moments, Yang Lan was extremely happy and excited to enter the pages of the diary one by one.
She regards these precious records as the most precious "gift" on her son's life path. The diary depicts in detail the details of his son's future life: entering school, participating in various activities, winning various honors, etc.
Yang Lan has never missed any important moment in her son's life, and everything has been carefully recorded by her, like crystal clear pearls, tightly embedded in the thin diary.
Four years later, when her second child, her daughter, arrived, Yang Lan had a deeper understanding of the importance of breastfeeding. However, just three months after the birth of her daughter, she had to put an end to her breastfeeding path.
At that time, it was a critical period for the Beijing Olympic Games bid, and Yang Lan, as the image ambassador of the Olympic bid, shouldered a heavy responsibility, shuttling between Beijing and Shanghai. For the sake of the children's strong growth, she can only temporarily let go of the responsibility of breastfeeding her daughter.
"At that moment, I deeply felt as if I had lost my most precious right as a mother." Recalling those difficult years, Yang Lan still feels guilty, "My daughter has just been born, but I can no longer care for and care for her in the most natural and intimate way."
Perhaps it is precisely because of this deep guilt that Yang Lan cherishes his daughter even more. No matter how busy she is at work, she will find time to personally guide her daughter to learn piano. Whenever her daughter was concentrating on playing the keyboard in the piano room, Yang Lan always listened quietly and cast approving glances from time to time.
Watching her daughter's petite body play with full attention, her eyes were filled with endless love.
What deeply touched Yang Lan's heart was the words that her baby daughter said to her with a smile during the 2008 Beijing Olympics: "Mom, do you know? I also contributed to the Olympic bid! Such childish words contain a full of daughter's pride and affirmation for her mother's hard work, which makes Yang Lan very emotional.
Her daughter's sensible behavior undoubtedly eliminated the long-standing guilt in Yang Lan's heart. Since then, she has cherished every moment spent with her daughter even more, and has done her best to make up for those missed moments of mother-daughter affection with her love.
Once, when the teacher asked his son why he chose to learn piano, he replied frankly, "Mom wants me to learn." Hearing this, Yang Lan's heart tightened, and he realized that his son might just be out of a passive learning attitude and lack of internal motivation to learn.
Therefore, Yang Lan began to strictly require his son to practice the piano on time, lest he fall behind other peers. She consistently attended every of her son's classes and became one of the parents with the highest attendance rate.
However, her son's learning performance never met her expectations, and he was often absent-minded and had difficulty concentrating during the practice.
She couldn't help but recall that in the past, she harshly criticized her son for his poor performance in class, and even reprimanded him loudly and uncontrollably. At that time, my son must have felt helpless and resistant.
Yang Lan knows that if he forces his children to learn what he wants, he will only put each other in a painful situation. Just when she was confused, her daughter's words and deeds brought her new revelations.
From the moment she first sat down on the piano, her youngest daughter was fascinated by the beautiful notes, and her hands danced on the keys.
Since then, she has developed a strong interest in the piano, and she always consciously extends her practice time without the need for supervision. Looking at her daughter's engrossed attention in front of the piano, Yang Lan finally understood what true "interest" is.
As parents, we should not impose our personal wishes on our children, but should respect their unique personalities and interests, and give them the freedom to explore and discover what they are truly passionate about.
After careful consideration, Yang Lan resolutely gave up the decision to force her son to insist on learning piano, and instead went all out to support her daughter to devote herself to the in-depth study of piano! It was a painful but precious experience.
Since then, Yang Lan has cherished every little hobby of the children, and in order to let them realize their full potential, she will do her best to provide unparalleled support and care within the scope of her ability.
