Family entanglements outside of inheritance disputes
In 2014, actor Zhai Naishe died of liver cancer at the age of 58. As his only biological daughter, Xiao Zhai, who was far away in a foreign country, immediately set off to return to China after learning the bad news.
Although she did not make it in time to see her father for the last time, she still could not hide her grief.
Xiao Zhai has mixed feelings about his father's death. On the one hand, she had deep sorrow, after all, Zhai Naishe was her only father; On the other hand, she was also a little confused and puzzled, because in her memory, her father always seemed to be negligent and cold to her.
However, when the issue of the distribution of Zhai Naishe's estate after his death surfaced, Xiao Zhai showed great interest in the property left by his father during his lifetime. She insisted that as the only immediate family member of Zhai Naishe, she deserved the right of first refusal.
The focus is on the ownership of a property. This property is the joint property of the husband and wife jointly purchased by Zhai Naishhe and his second wife Wang Libo during the existence of the marital relationship.
Around this property, a dispute quickly broke out between Xiao Zhai and Wang Libo.
Xiao Zhai pointed out that as his biological daughter, he should get at least half of the ownership of the property. However, Wang Libo insisted that it was her joint property with her late husband and that she should inherit it completely.
Both sides insisted on their own words, and neither was willing to budge, and eventually had to go to the path of legal action.
This ordinary inheritance dispute case actually hides an intricate family entanglement. After the court trial, investigation and evidence collection, the judge finally made a ruling, rejecting Xiao Zhai's claim and awarding the ownership of the property to Wang Libo.
Zhai Naisha's life has turned thousands of times
In order to unravel the reason for this family entanglement, we have to go back to Zhai Naishe's life trajectory.
Zhai Naishe was born in the early 50s of the last century, when New China was just born. He came from a poor background and grew up in a poor family. After graduating from junior high school, he worked as an apprentice in car repair for a transportation company.
Despite the embarrassment of the environment, Zhai Naishe has an upward vitality. He devoted himself to the study of automobile repair technology, and became more and more proficient. This dedication to technology finally opened a new chapter in his life by chance.
One day, a film crew came to Qingdao to film, and the director's car broke down. The staff searched for technicians who could repair faults from near and far, and Zhai Naishe was selected with his skills.
The director saw that he was handsome and extraordinary, and invited him to change careers as an actor.
In this way, Zhai Naishe unexpectedly became an actor by chance and started his dramatic artistic career. When he first debuted, he was still a vigorous young actor, and his career was popular.
At this time, according to the arrangement of his parents in his hometown, he married a woman of the same age.
The newlywed wife has a beautiful appearance and introverted personality, which is an important pillar of Zhai Naishe's life. However, the good times did not last long, and Zhai Naishe's career developed rapidly, causing him to travel for a long time and gradually drift away from his wife.
The wife is alone at home to take care of the housework and raise the children, and the torment of missing and waiting is getting heavier and heavier.
Especially after the birth of her daughter, Zhai Naishe spent more time filming out, and her daughter was full of alienation from this "strange" father. In the end, when her daughter was in elementary school, his wife could no longer bear this kind of life, and chose to divorce Zhai Naishe and raise the child alone.
This undoubtedly left Zhai Naishe with a big regret in his life. He has never been able to give up his career, so he can only pay monthly child support and compensate his ex-wife and daughter to a limited extent.
For a long time after that, Zhai Naisha's career became more and more prosperous, but in exchange for the barrenness of his emotional life.
Recreate the warm time when Wang Libo entered
In the days when his career was at its peak and his emotional life was at a low point, fate once again played tricks on Zhai Naishe. In the film and television industry, he met Wang Libo, a fellow traveler.
Wang Libo is also an actor, the same age as Zhai Naishe, and has also experienced a failed marriage. As a peer, she has a deep understanding of Zhai Naishe's professionalism and also experienced the hardships of raising children in single-parent families.
Two souls who are over half a hundred years old and each carrying their own pain are inexplicably attracted to each other by this common experience. In the process of getting along, they opened their hearts to each other and told their vicissitudes of the past.
A heartfelt emotion and understanding gradually grew between the two.
In this way, at the moment when their careers and lives were getting better, Zhai Naishe and Wang Libo entered the palace of marriage and gave each other a chance to start over. They aspire to rebuild a loving family at this age.
After getting married, Zhai Naishe learned from the pain and spent as much time as possible to spend with Wang Libo. He worked hard to balance his career and family, and tried to make up for his past regrets.
And Wang Libo, as a wife who has experienced the world, also understands Zhai Naishe's professional pressure and gives him full support and understanding.
Under Wang Libo's careful care, the family presents a thriving scene. Wang Libo regarded Zhai Naishe's daughter as his own and gave her meticulous care and love.
As a brand new family, they were happy, looking at each other and smiling.
At one point, it seemed that this couple who were over the age of sixteen had finally found each other's paradise. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the passage of time gradually caused some contradictions between the two.
Perhaps it is because both of them have experienced a failed marriage that they are more cautious about their relationships.
The conflict between Zhai Naishe and his first wife intensified
The narrator goes to the process of the intensification of the conflict between Zhai Naisha and his first wife.
Zhai Naishe's marriage with his first wife was originally a standard marriage between the family and the parents. The bride was born in a beautiful family, with an introverted and gentle personality, and was undoubtedly the best lifelong partner in Zhai Naisha's life.
Unfortunately, the good times were short-lived. With the rapid development of Zhai Naishe's career, he began to travel around filming and drifted away from his wife's life. The wife is alone at home and takes on all the housework.
At first, the wife could tolerate loneliness, but as time went on, the thoughts and waitings made her more and more tormented. Especially after the birth of her daughter, Zhai Naisha went out more often, and her daughter was full of strangeness to this father who almost never showed up.
All the burden of childcare fell on his wife alone, and her pressure increased dramatically. Faced with the dilemma of family and career, Zhai Naishe resolutely chose to pursue his dream.
In this way, cracks began to appear in the warm family of three. The loneliness and hard work of his wife continued to accumulate in no one's attention, and finally in the year when her daughter was in elementary school, she could no longer bear this kind of life, and decided to divorce Zhai Naisshe and raise her daughter alone.
This undoubtedly brought a huge blow and guilt to Zhai Naishe. He deeply blamed himself for not fulfilling his responsibilities as a husband and father, but he could not give up his career and could only pay a certain amount of monthly maintenance to make up for his shortcomings.
This failed marriage has become a major regret and trauma in Zhai Naishe's life. Although his career is becoming more and more prosperous, he has fallen into a desolation in the emotional world.
The reason for the separation of Wang Libo and Zhai Naishe
It was one day in 2009, Wang Libo's face was sad, and her face was full of pain. She solemnly said those six words to Zhai Naishe - "We should divorce."
Once, this couple who were over half a hundred years old were so loving and sweet. They share the ups and downs of life with each other, nourish each other with tolerance and understanding, and strive to rebuild a warm home in their old age.
However, fate often plays tricks on people. When they thought they had finally found their own paradise, they found that it was already destined to be broken.
At the beginning, Wang Libo was only a little dissatisfied with Zhai Naishe's long-term filming situation. As a wife, she longs to spend more time with her husband. But Zhai Naishe was so focused on his career that he often ignored his wife's mood.
Gradually, Wang Libo began to feel angry and sad about Zhai Naishe's coldness. She had hoped to be with her husband until she grew old, but she didn't expect to face the collapse of her marriage in the end.
Small conflicts began to accumulate between husband and wife, communication between the two parties became more and more scarce, and neither of them could properly express their innermost thoughts and demands. In the end, Wang Libo could no longer bear this cold and violent injury, and resolutely filed for divorce.
Overnight, the century-old union was shattered. Those happy moments of looking at each other and smiling sweetly seem to have become a dream. The two of them longed for each other to grow old together, and in the end, they didn't even say a good goodbye to get together and disperse.
The decision to divorce undoubtedly brought a huge blow to Zhai Naishe. He was again mired in deep self-blame and guilt. In this marriage with Wang Libo, he thought that he had completely reformed himself, but in the end he repeated the mistakes of the past.
He began to reflect on whether he was too paranoid about his career and whether he should slow down and run his family well. However, it was too late, and he was powerless.
The unexpected warmth of life
Looking back on Zhai Naishe's dramatic life, he has made great achievements in his artistic career, but he has repeatedly hit a wall in his family life, leaving endless regrets and self-blame.
Just when he was alone and had no expectations for life, fate played a joke again. In 2011, Zhai Naishe was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer.
This bad news was undoubtedly like a bolt from the blue, shattering his only remaining glimmer of hope.
There were no relatives and friends around him, and even his only biological daughter did not make it to her father in time. Watching the candle flame of life gradually extinguished, Zhai Naishe fell into a desperate situation in his life again, thinking that he was leaving alone like this.
However, at this time, Wang Libo, an old acquaintance that he had not seen for many years, reappeared in his life. Although the two have been divorced for many years, and although there have been too many hurtful misunderstandings between each other, Wang Libo still resolutely walked to Zhai Naishe's side and took care of her former husband wholeheartedly.
In this way, in the last three years of his life, Zhai Naishe fought against death on the operating table again and again. And every time, there will be Wang Libo in front of the hospital bed to wait gently and take care of him.
She used practical actions to explain to Zhai Naishe what is sincere and eternal love.
Although Zhai Naishe knows that he has little left in his life, Wang Libo's sincere dedication undoubtedly gave him the last warmth and comfort in his life. The past is like smoke, and the traumas and contradictions of the past no longer exist, replaced by Wang Libo's persistence and care for this past relationship.
Until the last breath of his life, Zhai Naishe always remembered his own flesh and blood. It's a pity that his daughter couldn't get to him in the end, and he had to leave this world alone.
But at least in the end, he received sincere care and warmth from Wang Libo.
Life is impermanent, and Zhai Naishe has brought too much harm and guilt to Wang Libo. But she used her actions to explain to the world the last appearance of love, tolerance, care and perseverance.
It was this precious warmth that sent Zhai Naishe the last blessing of his life.
