1. The long road to marriage has not borne fruit
Ouyang Xiadan, who was not confused, looked at her mother's gentle eyes with deep guilt and shame, she gently stretched out her warm palm and brushed away the tears like silk threads in the corners of her mother's eyes, and said in a firm and sincere tone: "Dear mother, please don't criticize yourself so much, my marriage problems do not come from you."
It's just that I haven't found the one who truly loves you and accepts you completely."
The mother responded with tears in her eyes and choked up: "However, many people have chosen to give up the rest of their lives with you because of my illness, and I cannot express the self-blame in my heart...... Seeing you alone all the time fills my heart with endless pain.
Ouyang Xiadan clasped his mother's hands and interrupted her words with an extremely resolute attitude: "Even if it is another ten or twenty years, I will never marry those who dislike you and cannot accept our mother and daughter wholeheartedly."
Mom, you are the closest and most important relative in my life."
Recalling that quiet night in 2018, her mother once proposed that she wanted to return to her hometown in Guilin to live alone, just to avoid affecting her daughter's lifelong events. At that time, Ouyang Xiadan's eyes were instantly soaked with tears, and tears slipped down like pearls with broken threads.
She expressed her heart and determination to her mother: "You are my pride and support, and if someone dislikes you and cannot fully accept you, then I would rather die alone than marry him."
When my mother heard these words, she was deeply moved, and tears welled up again. Ouyang Xiadan hugged his mother tightly into his arms and comforted her again and again, hoping that her mother would no longer feel guilty and sad about this incident.
2. The difficult choice between career and family
In 2020, when the new crown pneumonia epidemic was raging, Ouyang Xiadan, as a representative of CCTV, hosted a live broadcast with goods, and recorded an amazing sales performance of 61 million yuan in just two hours.
However, what is unexpected is that only a few months later, this high-profile Hua Dan-level host gradually disappeared from the studio of CCTV's "News Network".
For a while, various speculations about Ouyang Xiadan's resignation caused an uproar on the Internet: some people said that she was divorced, some people speculated that she had gone overseas to seek new development opportunities, and some people speculated that she might be raising a baby at home and waiting for a new life to come.
Until his former partner and well-known anchor Lang Yongchun unreservedly revealed the truth in a talk show: "Ouyang Xiadan has never entered the palace of marriage, how can he say divorce?" Her choice to say goodbye to CCTV was driven by her true desire to take care of her sick mother wholeheartedly! ”
It turned out that on a certain day in September 2020, Ouyang Xiadan's mother's condition suddenly deteriorated sharply, and her physical condition deteriorated. As the support of the whole family and the only comfort of her mother, Ouyang Xiadan felt unprecedented anxiety and sorrow, and she resolutely could not tolerate any mistakes in her mother's health.
In order to be able to guard her mother at all times and take care of her wholeheartedly, she resigned from her job at CCTV without hesitation and opened a new chapter in her life.
This is not the first time Ouyang Xiadan has faced a difficult choice between family and career. As early as 2003, she had been the host of Shanghai TV for many years and became famous.
Just when her career was booming, CCTV sent an invitation to Ouyang Xiadan, hoping that she could go north to develop.
Faced with such a rare opportunity, Ouyang Xiadan fell into a dilemma: on the one hand, the city of Shanghai carries her work, real estate and deep emotional memories; Beijing, on the other hand, is an important springboard to a broader career stage.
However, with the spiritual encouragement and firm support of her mother, she finally made up her mind to leave the familiar Shanghai and embark on a new journey. Her mother affectionately told her, "You should be brave enough to chase your dreams and not worry about us."
This sentence untied the entanglement in Ouyang Xiadan's heart and gave her endless courage.
3. Work together to overcome the difficulties in life
It is inevitable that there will be all kinds of helplessness and hardships on the road of life, but as long as you have the company and support of your loved ones, you can overcome all the challenges.
For Ouyang Xiadan and his mother, since their father passed away due to illness, they have become each other's closest confidants. With tears in his eyes, Ouyang Xiadan made a promise to his father's portrait, determined to become the pillar of the family, so that his mother would no longer cry for trivial matters.
Soon after, when the news of his mother being diagnosed with breast cancer came, Ouyang Xiadan accompanied his mother to run around and ask relatives and friends for help in order to raise treatment costs. Despite repeated setbacks and even rejections, she never lost confidence and never chose to give up.
On the contrary, she silently supported her mother with practical actions and gave her endless strength.
After Ouyang Xiadan joined China Central Radio and Television, her family's economic situation has improved significantly, but her love for her mother is still the same and she has never relaxed at all.
Even during the heaviest hours of work, she always paid close attention to the changes in her mother's condition, carefully urged her to take her medication on time according to the doctor's instructions, and even accompanied her to the hospital for regular check-ups.
For a moment, Ouyang Xiadan accidentally discovered that his mother was practicing aerobics at home with the video! Seeing her mother's sweaty but still refreshed appearance, she was deeply moved and tears welled up in her heart.
Since then, Ouyang Xiadan has taken the initiative to serve as her mother's exclusive fitness coach, teaching her mother various sports skills to help her strengthen her body and prepare for the fight against diseases.
Whenever he saw his mother's face gradually becoming ruddy, Ouyang Xiadan's heart was filled with endless joy.
The mother also never ceased to care for her daughter and inspire her spirit. Ouyang Xiadan still vividly remembers the moment when she decided to leave Shanghai for Beijing to develop, her mother's words strengthened her belief: "Go and follow your dreams, don't worry about anything for me."
"Her mother's wisdom and courage are undoubtedly the most solid support for her in the workplace.
