1. Batu in his childhood - a helpless orphan
In the bustling capital of Beijing, an ordinary family ushered in the birth of a new life, and he was Batu. His father Yingda is a high-profile actor, and his mother Song Dandan is a well-known "comedy queen" in the entertainment industry.
Faced with this newborn little life, Song Dandan is full of anticipation, and she hopes that this child can be the key to saving her and her husband Yingda's gradually broken marriage.
However, Batu's birth did not bring back Indah's heart. On the contrary, his indifference to his wife and children intensified. When Batu was four years old, Yingda began to go out for long periods of time under the pretext of work, and even though his son was admitted to the hospital with a high fever of 39 degrees, he never showed up to visit.
"I really want to see my father, can I invite him home?" Little Batu had an emotional outburst for the first time, and he couldn't understand why the other friends were accompanied by their father, but he never saw his father.
Song Dandan on the side could only cry silently, she was at a loss and didn't know how to soothe her son's wounded heart.
In 1987, Song Dandan resolutely chose to divorce Yingda. On that day, Batu immediately asked his father, who was leaving, "Dad, can I still call you in the future?" Yingda replied coldly: "Your mother and I have divorced, and we have nothing to do with each other, so don't bother me again."
From that moment on, Batu completely lost the warmth of his father's love. He was like an orphan without a father or mother, growing up under the careful care of his mother. When he was 13 years old, Batu learned of his grandfather's death, and as the only male descendant in the family, he wanted to see him off on his last journey.
Batu was hit hard, and the longing for fatherly love in his heart was gone. Since then, he has been like a real fatherless and motherless child, struggling to move forward with the strong support of his mother Song Dandan.
Second, Yingda's grievances and entanglements with his two ex-wives
The love story of Yingda and Song Dandan was as hot as fire at first. They met and fell in love while co-starring in the comedy "The Arsonist", a romance that has been hailed as "a legend in the world of comedy".
However, when this sweet couple enters the palace of marriage, conflicts and disputes follow.
They are both anxious and often quarrel violently over trivial matters. Just when their relationship was in trouble, Song Dandan became pregnant unexpectedly. She was full of joy, thinking that the arrival of this child would rekindle her husband's love and breathe new life into her marriage.
However, the reality is far beyond our imagination! Yingda's attitude towards the arrival of his son Batu was not the joy and expectation that people expected, on the contrary, he transferred his antipathy towards Song Dandan to his son, which further deepened the alienation and indifference between them.
In 1993, Yingda set foot in the family comedy film and television industry, and co-created the classic "I Love My Home" with partners. Song Dandan also rushed to the crew full of hope, hoping to win her husband's heart again through this work.
However, on the set, she did her best to take care of Yingda, and even cooked food herself, but these efforts were like air in Yingda's eyes, and his eyes always stayed on the newly befriended screenwriter Liang Huan.
Liang Huan not only has a wealth of knowledge, but also has an extraordinary temperament, which perfectly fits Yingda's pursuit of intellectual women. More importantly, she is not obedient to Yingda like Song Dandan, but can talk to her on an equal footing, which makes Yingda have a deep affection for her.
The two quickly fall in love and embark on an immoral romance.
Song Dandan's affection on the set is "frightening and ugly behavior" in Yingda's eyes. Only half a year later, Yingda and Liang Huan entered the marriage hall like lightning, completely abandoning Song Dandan and Batu's mother and son.
In stark contrast, Yingda cares about Liang Huan very much, and the love between the two is like a honeymoon period. Liang Huan's gentleness and thoughtfulness made Yingda feel as if she was in a warm hot spring, completely forgetting the existence of her ex-wife Song Dandan.
And Batu, the former biological son, has lost his place in Yingdah's life.
3. The illustrious life of the proud son
In stark contrast to the neglected Batu, Yingda is extremely fond of his second son, Ying Rudi.
Ying Rudi was born in the marriage between Yingda and his second wife Liang Huan. Since childhood, this child has received endless love and care from his father Yingda. Yingda is even willing to give up her career and accompany her son to sweat on the ice rink around the clock.
When Ying Rudi became interested in skating, Yingda did not hesitate to spend hundreds of thousands of yuan to purchase professional equipment for her. What's even more rare is that he even took the initiative to put down his work and accompany his son to train on the ice rink every day.
As a hot actor, Yingda can do this, which is enough to prove that his love for this son has exceeded the scope of ordinary people's understanding.
Since then, in order to give his son a broader space for growth and future development opportunities, Yingda resolutely spent all his family wealth and sent his son Yingrudi to the United States for a higher level of education and further study.
During those difficult years, whether it was playing roles in film and television dramas or participating in various business activities, Yingda never turned down any opportunities, just to achieve the goal of raising his son's tuition.
Yingda once unabashedly declared: "If others are willing to give me a specific status, the honorific title I want to get the most is 'Ying Rudi's father'!" At the end of these cumbersome words, Ying Rudi has an irreplaceable and important position in his heart.
As expected, with the full support and careful cultivation of her father Yingda, Ying Rudi made great progress on the ice hockey rink. At the age of eight, he won the championship in the Global Junior Ice Hockey Championship with a complete victory, and then was successfully selected for the national team, becoming a high-profile sports star in China.
Whenever Ying Rudi wins honor for the motherland in international competitions, Yingda is always full of spring breeze and is proud of his son's outstanding performance. In his eyes, Ying Rudi is undoubtedly his glory, and it is the perfect compensation for the father-son relationship he lost when he missed Batu.
4. The awakening and relief of the abandoned
Compared with Ying Rudi's glorious history, Batu's life trajectory seems prosaic. Neglected and neglected by his father since he was a child, his growth process was full of ups and downs and hardships.
However, it was this child who was forgotten by his father who showed extraordinary personality charm when he became an adult. Batu is humble and courteous, and his personality is as gentle as jade, which contrasts sharply with the arrogance and rudeness of Yingda's other son, Yingrudi, who is very fond of Yingda.
What is even more rare is that although Batu lacked fatherly care since he was a child, he did not feel inferior or guilty because of this, but poured all his love into his wife and children.
He married a virtuous and virtuous woman, cared for his son's education, and tried his best to play the role of a good father.
Whenever I witness the warm picture of Batu holding his son in his arms and laughing constantly, everyone else is moved: this man is exemplary in parenting! Although he has made remarkable achievements in the field of marriage and family, in terms of career, Batu is indeed a little ordinary, although he is a little famous, but it is only limited to the capital.
For Batu, however, this is sufficient. The unforgettable wound he suffered many years ago has now been healed by time, and he has devoted himself to loving care for his wife and children.
Batu's son, who thrives in his father's arms, has never experienced the loneliness and pain of losing the protection of his parents, and even unconsciously thinks that the love given to him by his grandfather Indah is enough.
There is no doubt that as a person who was once coldly rejected by his father, Batu no longer has the luxury of trying to win Inda's father's love. On the contrary, he poured out his father's love that should have belonged to him to his children without reservation.
In Batu's eyes, having a warm and harmonious family is far better than career success and the pursuit of fame and fortune. He would rather choose to live a plain and simple life than let his wife and children suffer the slightest grievance.
This kind of fatherly love is something that Yingda can never give him.
Fifth, a moment of turning point and twists and turns
Everything seemed to be on a smooth track, until a live television broadcast brought a dramatic reversal of the two brothers' fortunes.
That was Ying Rudi, as a hot athlete, being interviewed by the media. When the host asked him about his relationship with his compatriot brother Batu, Ying Rudi replied in a mysterious tone: "I have never been able to find a chance to contact my brother, maybe he doesn't want me to be his brother."
Ying Rudi, who has grown up in Yingda's doting since she was a child, has obviously raised her figure too high and doesn't care about her brother who was neglected by her father. He may want to maintain his noble image as a star through this reserved posture.
However, the audience in the live broadcast room scoffed at this. They saw through Ying Rudi's hypocrisy at a glance, and left messages to reprimand the star athlete: "What a guy who can't stand the test!" He was so arrogant and rude to his biological brother.
In an instant, Ying Rudi's popularity in the live broadcast room declined rapidly like an avalanche. Fans who once followed him avidly now shunned him, and no one wants to pay attention to such a vain and indifferent idol anymore.
At the same time, Batu, who has been neglected by the outside world for a long time, has won widespread praise for his deep friendship with his family.
In such a live broadcast, the popularity of the two young people in the Yingda family, Ying Rudi and Batu, has changed completely. Ying Rudi, who was originally loved by everyone, fell into the predicament of being spurned by everyone overnight; However, the originally low-key Batu has won wide praise from the whole society because of his deep affection for his family.
This reversal will undoubtedly be a key turning point in their lives.
Part 6: Life is priceless, ordinary and extraordinary
This gaffe in the live broadcast once again profoundly revealed a truth: a person's success cannot be measured only by the size of his achievements, but more importantly, whether he can live his own day.
Although Ying Rudi was once a leader in the national sports world, his character was questioned because of the live broadcast. In contrast, although his brother Batu has always kept a low profile, he has shown the qualities of an excellent son, husband and father with practical actions, so he has been highly praised by all walks of life.
Life is precious, it doesn't matter if it's ordinary, what really matters is whether you do your best to live the life you have. For Batu, as long as his wife and children are happy, that is his greatest achievement, far more than any glory in Vanity Fair.
This time, the experience of two young people in the Yingda family has triggered a deep reflection on the whole society. People are beginning to realize that the excessive pursuit of fame and fortune can obscure our understanding of the true meaning of life.
In contrast, those ordinary people who live an ordinary life are closer to the essence of life and more worthy of our learning and praise.
In a sense, Ying Rudi's gaffe behavior and Batu's exemplary performance let us see the true meaning of the word "backlash". Yingda's karma for his son's retribution is now finally revealed through the intergenerational inheritance of his two sons.
This is not only a profound lesson, but also an opportunity for us to think deeply about life.
