In 1995, TVB launched a thought-provoking TV series "Dumpling Queen". Zhu Enping, the heroine played by Chen Songling, has worked hard from a street vendor to a successful entrepreneur with her perseverance and outstanding talent.
However, her success unexpectedly became a stumbling block to her marriage. Yu Zifeng, the husband played by He Baosheng, chose to go away with his ex-girlfriend who seemed to need more care when his wife was shining.
The show explores a perplexing question in a surprising way: Why do strong, independent women struggle to keep their lovers? Will Zhu Enping finally be able to save her husband's heart? As the plot unfolds, the audience is brought into a deep reflection on the nature of love.
Between success and vulnerability, what is the key to maintaining a relationship? Let's follow the story of this couple and explore the contradictions and true meaning of love together.
In a place called a walled village in Hong Kong, Chu Enping, Yu Tsz-fung and Deng Nai-jin lived a carefree childhood. However, fate arranged completely different life trajectories for these three childhood sweethearts.
Zhu Enping was not from a wealthy background, his mother died early, his father was busy with work, and he had two younger brothers to take care of. From a young age, she had to take care of her family.
This sense of responsibility has shaped her strong and independent character, and it has also made her experience the hardships of life earlier than her peers. Every day after school, Zhu would rush home to prepare dinner for his younger brothers, clean his room and even help his father with some simple accounts.
These experiences have allowed her to develop the habit of being industrious and capable, and also cultivated her ability to deal with problems.
In contrast, Yu Zifeng's life is much easier. As the son of a local restaurant owner, he grew up with food and clothing, and had the opportunity to receive higher education. Yu Zifeng's wealthy family makes him cheerful and enthusiastic, and he is quite popular in the walled village.
However, the superior living environment also made him lack the resilience to face difficulties. Whenever he encountered setbacks, he always habitually relied on the help of his parents instead of finding a way to solve the problem on his own.
Deng Naiqiang is the most special of the three. He was born with a likable charm, which, combined with his sleek way of doing things, quickly established himself in the village.
With his innate good luck and long-sleeved dancing ability, he was successfully elected as the head of the walled village. Although he is not rich, he also lives a leisurely life.
Deng Naiqiang is good at observing words and feelings, and can always maneuver between all parties, maintaining a delicate balance.
The feelings of childhood sweethearts are often complicated. Deng Naiqiang secretly has feelings for Zhu Enping and is attracted by her strong and independent character. However, he never found the right time to confess.
Every time he saw Zhu Enping's busy figure, Deng Naiqiang wanted to step forward to help, but he was worried that his actions would cause misunderstandings.
In the end, Zhu Enping and Yu Zifeng tied the knot, and it seemed that they had a perfect ending. On the day of the wedding, the whole walled village was immersed in a joyful atmosphere. Deng Naiqiang, as the village head, had to force a smile and bless the couple.
However, attentive people still noticed the loneliness that flashed in his eyes.
However, the test of marriage soon came. Yu's restaurant suddenly suffered a crisis, first Yu Zifeng's mother made a mistake in investment and suffered heavy losses. Immediately afterwards, Yu Zifeng's brother-in-law was suspected of corruption, which put the once thriving family business in jeopardy.
Faced with such a predicament, Yu Zifeng, who has been pampered since childhood, seems at a loss. Under tremendous pressure, he made the wrong decision, and eventually took the risk and caused a catastrophe and was imprisoned.
This series of changes not only changed the life trajectory of Yu Zifeng and Zhu Enping, but also created new opportunities for Deng Naiqiang. The fate of the three took a dramatic turn.
After Yu Zifeng was imprisoned, Zhu Enping's life changed completely. She not only has to take care of her own small family, but also takes on the burden of taking care of the rest of her parents. In the face of this sudden change, Zhu Enping did not choose to sit still, but resolutely walked out of the house and started his own entrepreneurial road.
At first, Zhu Enping chose the simplest and closest way to life - setting up a stall to sell dumplings. Every morning in the wee hours of the morning, when most people are still asleep, she gets up to prepare the ingredients.
Before dawn, she came to the street to set up a stall with the morning dew. Whether it is the scorching sun or the cold wind, Zhu Enping insists on her small stall, greeting every customer with a warm smile and fragrant dumplings.
Zhu Enping's diligence and delicious dumplings quickly won praise from the neighborhood. Gradually, a long queue began to form in front of her stall. People are not only attracted by her dumplings, but also moved by her strong and optimistic attitude.
Even though life has hit her hard, she is still able to keep smiling and create new hope with her own hands.
However, fate seems to have put her to the test not enough. Just when his career was just improving, Zhu Enping unfortunately miscarried due to overwork. The blow nearly broke her.
She curled up in a hospital bed, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness for the first time. But at this moment, Deng Naiqiang, an old friend for many years, reached out. He not only gave him financial support, but also gave Zhu Enping great encouragement mentally.
With Deng Naiqiang's encouragement, Zhu Enping regained his strength. She realized that she had to be strong not only for herself, but also for her family and those who had always supported her.
With this determination, Zhu Enping devoted herself to her dumpling business with greater enthusiasm.
With word of mouth, Zhu Enping's dumpling stall business is getting better and better, and even attracted the attention of local media. Her entrepreneurial story has been widely reported and has become an inspirational role model.
This not only made her dumpling sales skyrocket, but also won her more opportunities.
With Deng Naiqiang's funding and advice, Zhu Enping began to consider expanding the scale of his business. She rented a small factory and began mass-producing her signature dumplings. From the improvement of the formula to the design of the packaging, Zhu Enping has done it himself.
Her efforts soon paid off, and her dumpling brand gained a firm foothold in the market.
With the development of his career, Zhu Enping is no longer satisfied with a single dumpling product. She began experimenting with new flavors and introducing a more diverse product line. Her innovative spirit and dedication to quality have quickly made her brand a household name.
From a street vendor to a successful entrepreneur, Zhu Enping has written an amazing entrepreneurial legend with his tenacity and wisdom. Not only did she change her own destiny, but she also created jobs for many people.
Her success story has inspired countless people and proved that with determination and perseverance, it is possible to rise back in the face of adversity.
However, the success of his career did not bring complete happiness to Zhu Enping. In the dead of night, she would think of her husband in prison, and her heart was full of contradictions and pain.
She was eager to share her success with Yu Zifeng, but feared that it would deepen the estrangement between them. Zhu begins to realize that her biggest challenge may not be her career, but how to find a balance between success and love.
As the day of Yu Zifeng's release from prison approached, Zhu Enping's heart was both expectant and apprehensive, not knowing whether what was waiting for her would be to renew the old dream or a new test.
Finally, the day that Zhu Enping had been waiting for for a long time came. Yu Zifeng was released after completing his sentence and regained his freedom. Zhu Enping welcomed her husband home with great anticipation, hoping to share the joy of his career with him and regain his happy life.
However, reality gave her a slap in the face.
The moment Yu Zifeng came out of prison, he was no longer the young owner of the restaurant who was once high-spirited. The prison sentence not only destroyed his self-confidence, but also made him sensitive and suspicious.
Whenever he tried to reintegrate into society, he was always pointed at and talked about behind his back. These experiences took a serious blow to his self-esteem, and his heart was full of low self-esteem and insecurity.
After returning home, Yu Zifeng found himself in a strange world. Furniture that was once familiar is replaced by new, more upscale ones; The walls are covered with Zhu Enping's awards and corporate photos; Even his favorite study has been converted into Zhu Enping's office.
All this is silently told: in his absence, Zhu Enping not only maintained his family, but also created a remarkable career.
Faced with his wife's glamorous career achievements, Yu Zifeng felt at a loss. Zhu Enping's strength and success, which should have been the driving force for him to regain his strength, became a sharp blade that pierced his heart.
He began to avoid talking to Zhu Enping about work, and even deliberately distanced himself from her, for fear that his incompetence would become more prominent.
Zhu Enping was keenly aware of the changes in her husband, and she tried to rebuild Yu Zifeng's confidence in various ways. She invited him to participate in the company's decision-making, hoping to help him regain his former self-confidence; She deliberately behaved softly at home, trying to give him a chance to pamper her.
However, these efforts not only did not improve their relationship, but instead made Yu Zifeng feel more depressed and uncomfortable.
Every time Zhu Enping enthusiastically shared the company's new progress, Yu Zifeng would leave with excuses. When Zhu Enping asked him for his opinion on the new product, he was always perfunctory.
Gradually, the conversations between the two became less and less, and the atmosphere became more and more awkward.
It was at this time that Yu Zifeng's ex-girlfriend reappeared in his life. Unlike Zhu Enping, who has a successful career, his ex-girlfriend behaves weak and helpless, often seeking comfort and protection from Yu Zifeng in tears.
In front of her, Yu Zifeng regained the feeling of manhood, as if he had returned to the old high-spirited days.
After Zhu Enping found out that her husband was in close contact with his ex-girlfriend, she was full of anxiety and uneasiness. She tried to communicate with Yu Zifeng, hoping to save their relationship. However, each conversation eventually turned into a heated argument, and the estrangement between the two grew deeper.
In a quarrel, Yu Zifeng finally broke out of his long-pent-up emotions: "Look at you, your career is admired by adults." And me? A person who has been in prison is nothing! You don't need me at all, you're so powerful that I feel like I'm superfluous! These words deeply pierced Zhu Enping's heart.
Zhu Enping fell into deep self-blame. She began to wonder if she was too strong to make her husband feel pressured. Is his own success a stumbling block to his marriage? She even thought about giving up her career and concentrating on being a good wife and mother.
But whenever she sees the company she founded and thinks of the employees who rely on her, she can't bear to give up.
On the balance of love and career, Zhu Enping is in a dilemma. She didn't know how to keep herself alive and at the same time give her husband enough support and understanding.
This test of love seems to be much more difficult than any business challenge she faces.
In frequent contact with his ex-girlfriend, Yu Zifeng gradually came up with an idea: to leave the country and start over. He felt that only by leaving this stressful environment could he rediscover himself.
One night, when Zhu Enping returned home from work, Yu Zifeng solemnly made a decision to her that shocked her: he wanted to go to the United Kingdom with his ex-girlfriend to start a business.
This news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and Zhu Enping suddenly felt that the world was spinning. She looked at Yu Zifeng in disbelief, hoping it was just a joke. However, the determination in Yu Zifeng's eyes told her that it was true.
With tears streaming down her eyes, Zhu begged her husband to stay, promising to change and giving him more space and support. She looked back on the years they had walked together and reminded Yu Zifeng of the sweet times they had had.
However, Yu Zifeng seems to have made up his mind.
He told Zhu that it was because she was too strong that he felt superfluous. He said, "You see that you have a successful career and don't need my protection."
And she needs me more. I can find my own value by her side.
These words deeply pierced Zhu Enping's heart. For many years, she has always thought that her strength is the pillar of the family, but she did not expect it to become the force that pushes her husband away.
She was mired in deep self-doubt and didn't know how to salvage her precarious marriage.
On the eve of Yu Zifeng's preparation, fate brought a turn for the couple again. Zhu Enping suddenly fainted during his busy work schedule and was rushed to the hospital.
When Yu Zifeng learned the news, he was at the airport preparing to board the plane.
At that moment, Yu Zifeng hesitated. He remembered Zhu Enping's dedication over the years, her persistence during his imprisonment, and everything she had done for the family.
Eventually, he made a decision: drop off his luggage and rush to the hospital.
When Zhu Enping opened her eyes on the hospital bed and saw Yu Zifeng waiting by her side, her eyes were full of surprise and joy. Yu Zifeng held her hand and said softly, "I'm sorry, I almost made a big mistake.
I'm not going to leave you, let's start over together.
At this moment, Zhu Enping's fragility seems to touch her husband's heart more than her strength. However, can the reunion brought by this way really solve the problems between them? When the passion recedes and reality returns, will they be able to truly face and resolve their contradictions? Only time will tell.
On the surface, "Dumpling Queen" ended with a happy ending. However, it is not difficult to find the hidden concerns when we take a closer look.
This story provokes us to think deeply about the nature of love.
The contrast between Zhu's career success and marital crisis reflects the contradictions that are common in modern society. While pursuing self-fulfillment, women often need to find a balance between career and family.
Men, on the other hand, may feel threatened by their partner's success, which can lead to low self-esteem.
Through the story of Zhu Enping and Yu Zifeng, "Dumpling Queen" shows the challenges that are prevalent in modern marriage. It reminds us that sincere feelings should not be based on who needs whom more, but should be an equal relationship of mutual respect and support.
Only when both parties can accept each other's strength and vulnerability can a marriage be truly stable and harmonious.
The thinking left by this drama for the audience is far more profound than what it appears on the surface.
