As a thriving host, she could have chosen to escape from reality and choose to give up, but she didn't.
Wang Mengmeng gazed affectionately at Cheng Lei lying on the sickbed, and the 16-year-old age gap between them seemed to be infinitely magnified at this moment. However, it was this sincere love beyond age that made Wang Mengmeng firm in her belief and decided to become Cheng Lei's strongest backing, using all her strength and courage to fight to the death.
She knows that caring for a critically ill patient is not an easy task, but she has never hesitated or flinched from it. In the depths of Wang Mengmeng's heart, in addition to her deep love for Cheng Lei, she also has a solemn commitment to marriage and her persistence in love.
Therefore, Wang Mengmeng resolutely gave up her busy hosting career and began the road of fighting against the disease.

Every small and affectionate gesture is full of her endless love for her husband.
2. The choice that is not understood - the difficult choice between career and family

Doubts and criticisms from the outside world are surging like a tide, some people accuse her of being carried away by love, some people suspect that she was confused by Cheng Lei, and some people speculate that she chose to commit to Cheng Lei when she was no longer young...... All kinds of malicious speculation and slander almost drowned Wang Mengmeng.
However, Wang Mengmeng's unwavering heart is like a solid rock, without any fluctuations. She knows that love is not a simple arithmetic formula, and cannot be constrained and defined by age, career and social status.
True love is to choose to protect each other and work together.

Therefore, she resolutely quit her controversial job and devoted herself to taking care of her husband. In the face of everyone's doubts, she never flinched, because she knew that all the decisions she made came from a sincere and burning heart.
3. Encounters when I was young
It was an ordinary TV program recording scene, and 24-year-old Wang Mengmeng, as the host, was standing under the dazzling spotlight, exuding a charming light. She was dressed in a modest professional suit, her hair neatly coiled behind her head, and a professional smile on the corner of her mouth, like a delicate rose in full bloom.
And 42-year-old Cheng Lei is one of the special guests on this episode. He was dressed in a dark suit, which gave him an elegant and steady temperament, although the years had left marks on his face.
When he stepped onto the stage with a calm step and met Wang Mengmeng's eyes, the two seemed to be deeply attracted by each other's unique charm.
During the recording process, Cheng Lei's calm and clear speech made Wang Mengmeng fall in love. And Wang Mengmeng's witty, humorous, and majestic hosting style also made Cheng Lei full of praise for him.
Although there is a 16 age difference between them, each other's unique personality charm is like a magnet that attracts each other.
Backstage after a recording, Cheng Lei took the initiative to talk to Wang Mengmeng, and the two formed an indissoluble bond. From first acquaintance, to deep understanding, to falling in love, they are integrated into each other's lives step by step.
Although many people have doubts about this couple with a large age difference, however, in the hearts of Ms. Wang Mengmeng and Mr. Cheng Lei, age is not an insurmountable gap, and sincere feelings are the most important element! Such a true love that transcends time, in the flow of time, is like a beautiful flower in full bloom, smearing a brilliant color on the ordinary life.
Fourth, the tenacity of a middle-aged wife
Today's Ms. Wang Mengmeng has changed from the dazzling CCTV host in the past to the most considerate partner next to her husband, Mr. Cheng Lei. She shed her professional attire and changed into comfortable loungewear, and her once-well-groomed hair was haphazardly tied into a bun.
However, the light in her eyes always shines, because she knows that she is interpreting her unswerving love for her husband with the power of life.
Every morning, Ms. Wang Mengmeng always cooks nutritious porridge for Mr. Cheng Lei by herself, and then carefully feeds it to him. If Mr. Cheng Lei has a poor appetite, she will do her best to cook light and refreshing home-cooked dishes, hoping that he can taste a few more bites.
Whenever Mr. Cheng Lei needed to exercise, she would help him walk slowly indoors or outdoors.
In the long daylight, Ms. Wang Mengmeng always accompanied Mr. Cheng Lei. Sometimes I read books to him, sometimes I solve problems for him, and sometimes I hand him a warm towel to clean his body...... She is like an old ox working silently, taking care of her sick husband with endless love and patience, sheltering him from the wind and rain, and holding up a warm and sunny sky for him.
Under the wholehearted care of Ms. Wang Mengmeng, Mr. Cheng Lei's condition gradually improved. However, even though there has been no obvious change in her condition, Ms. Wang Mengmeng's firm belief has never wavered.
She knows that she will spend her life with him through the ups and downs, whether it is a smooth and wide road ahead, or full of unknown dangers, because in her opinion, love is not a momentary passion, but a lifetime of vows and concerns.
As the saying goes, time can't kill deep emotions. Ms. Wang Mengmeng confirmed the profound connotation of this sentence with her own experience. She is like a towering giant tree that stands tall and unyielding in the wind and rain, guarding her love with full affection and loyalty, waiting for the moment when the spring flowers bloom.
5. The charm of the beauty of the incomplete
Looking back on that magnificent chapter of love, we are all deeply shocked by Wang Mengmeng's choice. She used her own experience to illustrate what true happiness is—happiness is not about finding a near-perfect partner, but about learning to look at and tolerate the person who is not perfect with a noble vision.
Human beings are not perfect, and Cheng Lei's illness has gradually alienated him from the word "perfect". However, in Wang Mengmeng's heart, her husband's illness has not become an obstacle to their emotional path.
She unreservedly accepted Cheng Lei's shortcomings and shortcomings, and integrated her love and care into her husband's aging body and mind.
Facing Cheng Lei, who is seriously ill, sometimes he will become emotionally out of control because of the torture of illness, and even say some harsh words to Wang Mengmeng. However, Wang Mengmeng has never been bothered by this, she understands that it is just the disease that is at work, and she prefers to treat it with compassion and tolerance.
Whenever this happens, she always gently comforts her husband: "It's okay, have a good rest, I will always be with you." ”
It is true that Cheng Lei's illness has undoubtedly brought a lot of inconvenience and shadows to their lives. However, in Wang Mengmeng's view, these difficulties are insignificant, as long as you can spend time with your loved ones, it is the greatest happiness in the world.
She regards Cheng Lei as the most precious existence in her life, and is willing to devote her life to carefully caring for this deep feeling.
Many people can't understand Wang Mengmeng's choice and think that she is self-sacrificing. However, she herself has a different view on this, because she has long understood the true meaning of love - to tolerate each other's flaws with a broad mind, to appreciate each other's beauty with innocent eyes, and to work together to make ordinary days picturesque.
For Wang Mengmeng, being able to spend an ordinary and happy life with her beloved is already a great gift from God. Her story reveals a truth: happiness is not unattainable, it is hidden in our unique definition of perfection deep within us.
6. Happiness in the ordinary
People often mistakenly believe that happiness stems from someone's relentless pursuit and high expectations. However, in fact, happiness is often all around us, lurking in the trivial details of daily life.
The story of Wang Mengmeng and Cheng Lei just confirms this.
Even after a lot of hardships, as long as the two are hand in hand, even the most mundane and commonplace days will be incomparably precious because of each other's company. For example, every morning in the faint morning, when Wang Mengmeng's carefully cooked bowl of steaming porridge is served in front of her husband, watching him taste it with relish and swallow it slowly, his heart will always be deeply wrapped in an indescribable sense of happiness.
Sometimes, in the face of the colorful sunlight shining on her husband's face, Wang Mengmeng can't help but smile. She understands that the blandness of this moment has become the most generous gift of life.
At night, Wang Mengmeng, who has been busy all day, will carefully cook a bowl of nourishing and nourishing old fire soup, and then feed it to her sick and aging husband in one breath and one bite at a time. Sometimes Cheng Lei is still unsatisfied, so she will add some delicious ingredients again.
Seeing her husband's contented look, the little boat of happiness in her heart will sway gently.
Indeed, although their lives are simple and simple, they do not hinder Wang Mengmeng's desire and pursuit of happiness in the slightest. She uses the deep affection of each other to compose a romantic and ununderstood love movement.
As Wang Mengmeng said, in the face of sincere love, all the efforts and sacrifices are so worthwhile, because what you get is not only the companionship of life, but also the fit of the heart.
With each other's support and comfort, even the most mundane of lives can stir up divine ripples in the ocean of love.
For Wang Mengmeng, being able to spend time with her beloved and live an ordinary and stable life is already the greatest happiness in life. She firmly believes that instead of chasing those unattainable "happiness", it is better to calm down and feel every moment around her.
Because, true happiness is often hidden in these seemingly ordinary daily trivialities.
