1. As the years go by, when life is late, the sorrow of regret grows thicker
Time flies, years flow. When Zhu Lin looked back on the past in a trance, it was past the year of the sixtieth year. The once-glamorous screen superstar is now enjoying a quiet retirement at home.
One afternoon in midsummer, Zhu Lin sat alone on the balcony with a bright window, staring deeply at the verdant natural scenery outside the window, and her heart couldn't help but sink into endless thoughts.
The breeze ruffled the ends of her pale hair, and she couldn't help but recall those glorious days.
When she was young, Zhu Lin's career was like a starry star, with her charming appearance and superb acting skills, she starred in many popular classic film and television masterpieces such as "Traitor", "Triumph in the Midnight", "Journey to the West", and became the focus of world attention at that time.
However, just as her career was reaching its peak, a wrong choice buried deep regrets in her later life.
Zhu Lin looked at the warm picture of the neighbor's laughter, and the children returned one after another, talking and laughing, which made the originally quiet courtyard suddenly full of vitality. She couldn't help but feel her loneliness and loneliness, and a strong envy and longing surged in her heart.
"It would be nice if I could have a son back then!" Zhu Lin couldn't hide the regret in her eyes, when she was young, she devoted herself to her career and didn't have too many expectations for family life. However, now it seems that without the company of her children, her later life seems dull and boring, and she begins to regret the wrong decision at the beginning.
Second, behind the glittering career, there are countless moving stories
In 1970, after graduating from high school, Zhu Lin resolutely chose to devote himself to the military and became a literary and artistic soldier of the Beijing Communication Corps Art Troupe. In the melting pot of the army, she sang, danced, and acted in dramas, tempering her acting talent in an all-round way.
Zhu Lin is petite, but her eyes are clear and bright, and no matter what role she plays, she always exudes a unique charm.
In 1975, Zhu Lin bid farewell to the barracks life of freedom and moved towards the job of the Institute for the Control of Pharmaceutical and Biological Products of the Ministry of Health. Soon after, she was sent by the unit to continue her studies at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences with excellent academic performance.
While studying, Zhu Lin met her first love, a simple young man who worked as an ordinary worker in a state-owned enterprise.
Although she had a different background, her boyfriend initially doubted whether Zhu Lin would feel that she was not worthy of her because of her low self-esteem, but Zhu Lin fell in love with him at first sight and unabashedly expressed her feelings: "Love is the resonance of two hearts, and the rest doesn't matter!" Zhu Lin's honesty deeply touched her boyfriend, and under her gentle but firm gaze, her boyfriend slowly regained his self-confidence.
And in 1979, after graduating from the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Zhu Lin tied the knot with her boyfriend and built a happy family together.
Although the people around her disagreed with her choice to marry a worker, Zhu Lin did not care about it, believing that love was the only reason for her decision.
Soon after marriage, Zhu Lin made a name for herself in the movie "Traitor" with her superb acting skills and won the love of the audience, and she successively participated in Paradigm's war drama "Triumph at Midnight" and the high-profile costume drama "Journey to the West", becoming a hot star at the time and shining brightly.
3. The husband's growth and struggle
As Zhu Lin's fame grew, so did the pressure on her husband. As an ordinary worker, he had mixed feelings when he saw his wife shine on the screen.
However, Zhu Lin's success also inspired his inner fighting spirit, and he was eager to make a breakthrough in his career and did not want to be overwhelmed by the tide of the times.
When Zhu Lin starred in many classic film and television works one after another and became famous, her husband also worked silently behind the scenes and made unremitting efforts. At the end of the 80s, he was promoted to the middle level of the factory with his excellent work performance, which is undoubtedly the best reward for his years of hard work, and also allows him to accumulate rich experience in management positions.
In the 90s, the advertising industry flourished in China. Zhu Lin's husband saw the opportunity and seized this rare opportunity, so he founded an advertising agency in Beijing and served as the general manager himself.
In the early days of the business, there were many difficulties, and the expansion of the advertising business far exceeded expectations, however, Zhu Lin's husband never gave up, he was full of longing and expectation for the future, and only by constantly working hard could he follow in the footsteps of his wife.
When Fu Lili, a former colleague, showed a strong interest in the company led by Mr. Zhu Lin and was eager to expand the business through cooperation, she was firmly opposed by her superiors, which undoubtedly brought her deep regret.
However, Fu Lili always remembered the kindness of Zhu Lin and her family.
After years of hard work and unremitting efforts, Mr. Zhu Lin's advertising agency has finally emerged and his career is thriving. All these achievements are inseparable from his firm belief in his dreams and his persistent pursuit of the spirit of hard work.
Because of this, this ordinary couple finally succeeded in achieving a social status.
Fourth, the regret caused by the fertility problem
In the 90s, Zhu Lin and her husband have made remarkable progress in their careers, and their living conditions have also been greatly improved. Faced with the gradual increase in age, they began to seriously think about the issue of having children.
As we all know, having children in a family can not only deepen the emotional bond between husband and wife, but also inject endless laughter and fun into ordinary life.
In 1997, Ms. Zhu Lin reached the age of 45, and her parents urged her to give birth as soon as possible. After much deliberation, the couple decided that the time was ripe and decided to have the next generation.
However, in the following days, Ms. Zhu Lin never got her wish.
Perhaps because of her age, she has suffered repeated setbacks despite her efforts.
In this way, hope and disappointment are intertwined and capricious. It wasn't until sometime two years later that Ms. Zhu Lin finally conceived a child, much to the delight of her husband and herself. However, the good times were fleeting, and Ms. Zhu Lin suffered a miscarriage due to overwork.
This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the husband and wife. Ms. Zhu Lin was grief-stricken, and her husband had been comforting her: "There is no need to force it when it comes to having children, and it will come naturally when the opportunity comes."
In this way, hope and disappointment play out in turn. In the blink of an eye, Ms. Zhu Lin is over half a hundred years old, and her husband is over fifty years old, and the risk of pregnancy at an advanced age is increasing. After careful consideration, they finally made the difficult decision to forgo childbearing.
At first, Ms. Zhu Lin also felt that it was not a good thing to have no children and no daughters, and no matter where she went, she did not have to worry about what happened after her death. However, as the years passed, especially when she witnessed the harmony and warmth of her neighbor's family, her deep regret became stronger.
"Childbirth is undoubtedly the greatest birth for human beings, and the joy that families with children feel in words cannot be described, which also brings the emotional bond between husband and wife closer!" Zhu Lin now has a deep understanding of this truth, but unfortunately, when she understands this truth, the time has been lost.
At the same time, it also set off a rumor about Zhu Lin spending 20 years alone, and it spread on the Internet, and a certain writer made up a story of "Zhu Lin was single for 20 years" according to his own imagination, and used it as an excuse to publicize it.
According to the writer's description, Zhu Lin worked with Xu Shaohua, a young actor who was in the spotlight at the time, when filming the classic costume TV series "Journey to the West". Although they didn't have many scenes, during the filming, Zhu Lin had a deep affection for Xu Shaohua, a handsome and dashing man.
However, Xu Shaohua was already married at that time, and his wife was even a member of the crew, although Zhu Lin had a deep love for him, she could only hide this secret love deep in her heart and never revealed it to anyone.
After the filming ended, Xu Shaohua left with his family, while Zhu Lin was haunted by this secret love and struggled alone in the ocean of emotions for 20 years. It wasn't until 2005 that Zhu Lin tied the knot with a soldier from Beijing, freeing herself from long-standing emotional trauma.
The writer, who didn't know where to get these so-called "inside tips", wrote a long essay of more than 5,000 words in one go, for which he won a huge prize.
As soon as this article was published, it caused a huge response on the Internet. Many netizens expressed sympathy for Zhu Lin's "infatuation", and some people praised her for the love she had insisted on for many years.
For a time, the rumor of "20 years of celibacy" spread all over the streets, and Zhu Lin and her husband were very confused about it.
Zhu Lin did not know the writer who wrote the article, and he had never had any contact with her. Many friends suggested that she should take the other party to court, but Zhu Lin chose to be tolerant: "It is said that the writer won an award for this article, if I go to sue him, won't it ruin his future?" Forget it, let's let him go.
