However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people. Sun Li showed extraordinary dancing talent at a young age, which should have been a cause for celebration, but it became the fuse of this family conflict.
After Deng Lifang discovered her daughter's outstanding talent, she resolutely decided to send her to the Children's Palace to learn dance.
Sun Zhihong felt that his daughter was still young, and there was no need to consume too much extra money and materials to satisfy her hobbies for the time being. However, Teresa Teng insisted that her daughter had talent and could not be wasted.
Whenever there is a family conflict, Sun Li can only hide in fear and cry secretly, she once said: "My childhood memory is that my parents are always quarrelling."
Xiao Sun Li didn't understand the reason why her parents always quarreled, so she could only redouble her efforts to learn to dance, hoping to alleviate family conflicts. She was always the first student to arrive and the last to leave the Children's Palace.
Hard work in exchange for countless honors and medals, she longs for her father to understand her efforts, see her achievements, and no longer quarrel because of family conflicts, however, all this has not changed, and her father has never been able to understand her persistence.
In 1993, 11-year-old Sun Li won the opportunity to perform abroad with her excellent performance, which was a very glorious thing at that time. Teresa Teng attaches great importance to her daughter's opportunities, and even if she borrows money, she wants her to go abroad.
This decision caused a conflict between husband and wife, Sun Zhihong even said cruel words like "If you want her to go abroad, we will divorce", but Deng Lifang believes that nothing is more important than her daughter's future, and she resolutely decided to take her daughter to perform abroad.
In 1994, when Sun Li and her mother returned from performing abroad, they did not feel joy, but received a divorce agreement from their father. This was a heavy blow to the young Sun Li, and her heart was full of resentment and incomprehension towards her father.
Deng Lifang looked at her ignorant and immature daughter in her arms, held back tears, and finally ended her married life for many years under court mediation.
After the divorce, Teresa Teng moved into a tube building of less than 10 square meters with a one-time payment of 2,000 yuan in child support from her ex-husband and Sun Li, struggling to maintain her life. The cramped dwelling made it difficult for her to turn around.
In order to support her daughter's dance dream, Teresa Teng worked as a salesman in a department store during the day, and went to a company introduced by a friend to do cleaning at night.
In 2000, after 18-year-old Sun Li retired from the amateur theatrical performance team of soldiers of the Shanghai Garrison District of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, with a vision of the unknown and a savings of 2,000 yuan given by her mother, she resolutely decided to go north.
Although this money is not much, it is a mother's deepest concern for her daughter, and Sun Li set foot on the strange land of Beijing with this love.
However, the cruelty of reality is far beyond her imagination. In Beijing, she quickly got into trouble. With no background and no connections, Sun Li couldn't find a suitable job for several months.
She can only squeeze into an 8-square-meter cottage, even if she saves more, the 2,000 yuan is still spent like flowing water, she can't even pay the rent, and the landlord has repeatedly kicked her out.
Just when Sun Li was about to give up hope, an unexpected event suddenly appeared and encouraged her. An envelope with 8,000 yuan written on it was mysteriously sent to her. For her, this is like sending charcoal in the snow, which instantly solves her urgent need.
She got the money and could gain a foothold in Beijing, no longer worrying about being kicked out at any timeSun Li always wanted to know who helped her, but she never got her wish, she called her mother, but her mother didn't know who it was.
With mysterious funds, Sun Li was able to follow her dream of being an actor. At the beginning of 2001, the opportunity finally came. She rose to prominence in the "Talented Young Talent" competition organised by Mediacorp Channel 8 in Singapore and was the runner-up.
This competition made her discovered and signed by the discerning Hairun Company, and officially entered the showbiz.
Under the company's hard work, Sun Li debuted as a backstage dancer of "Lu Yiping", although there are few scenes, but her serious focus has attracted the attention of industry insiders. In the same year, she got another opportunity, and with her own strength, she successfully won the role of "peace of mind" in "Jade Guanyin".
Sun Li's outstanding performance in "Jade Guanyin" became famous in one fell swoop, and her delicate and exquisite acting skills and unique temperament were highly praised by the audience and judges, so she won many awards.
This role not only marks Sun Li's official entry into the showbiz, but also makes her quickly become a new star who has attracted much attention.
After the success, Sun Li did not forget her past. When she saw Xiang Haiqing, who had a similar experience to herself, she couldn't help but feel compassion in her heart. She decides to help this teenager who is struggling with life to complete his studies and pave the way for his future.
Originally, this kind help made Sun Li taste the bitter fruit of betrayal. Xiang Haiqing did not have a sense of gratitude, but thought about seeking benefits from Sun Li everywhere. This experience made Sun Li understand more deeply how precious true kindness and gratitude are.
Despite this, she did not extinguish her enthusiasm, but cherished those friends who treated her sincerely.
With the rapid development of her career, Sun Li's life has undergone earth-shaking changes. She has enough financial strength to allow her beloved mother to live a happy life. In order to make her mother no longer have to worry about life, Sun Li bought a house for her mother.
She knows that her mother has done a lot for her over the years, so she wants to try her best to be better to her mother and use her success to repay her mother's efforts.
In her busy and struggling life, Sun Li has always had a grudge against her father and stepmother, and at the same time she did not realize that they had been silently paying attention to and assisting her behind her back.
Soon after Sun Zhihong divorced Sun Li's mother, he met Huang Yuling, who was two years younger than him and was also divorced but had no children. They felt a special fit when they first met, and they quickly got married.
A year later, they gave birth to their youngest daughter, Sun Yan.
Sun Li's heart was full of envy for the happiness of her new family and the pain of her own difficult life. She thinks that her misfortune is all caused by Huang Yuling, if it weren't for her, her parents would not have divorced, and she and her mother would not have had such a difficult time.
During the Spring Festival in 1997, Sun Li's hatred for Huang Yuling reached its peak, when Sun Zhihong wanted to take Sun Li to live at home for a few days, Huang Yuling also bought her new clothes, but Sun Li threw the new clothes on the ground and yelled at her stepmother: "My mother and I have come to this point today, it is all caused by you bad woman."
This misunderstanding and resentment lasted for many years, until when Sun Li enlisted in the army, Sun Zhihong brought his wife and daughter to see him off, but Sun Li still looked at each other coldly and issued an eviction order, which made Sun Zhihong and his wife feel very embarrassed and sad.
However, the truth is not what Sun Li thought. When they learned that Sun Li was living a difficult life in Beijing, it was Sun Zhihong and Huang Yuling who secretly reached out to help. In order to make up the 8,000 yuan, Huang Yuling went to wash wine bottles for others.
Sometimes Sun Zhihong is not too busy, and he will come to help wash the wine bottles, and they don't know how many wine bottles they washed to save enough money.
Worried that Sun Li would not accept it, they chose to send her the money anonymously. This hidden love has become a turning point in Sun Li's life in the north, but it has also become the biggest misunderstanding between father and daughter.
Although Sun Zhihong did not particularly take the initiative to contact Sun Li, he has been silently following his daughter's dynamics. When he learned that his daughter had achieved success in the entertainment industry, he felt both relieved and a little guilty in his heart.
He once said: "I owe her a deep debt and have not fulfilled my responsibilities as a father, and I don't want to take advantage of Sun Li's halo, but I am very happy to have such a daughter."
This deep father's love was discovered by Sun Li many years later and became the key to resolving the estrangement between father and daughter. However, before this, this love has always been covered by misunderstanding and resentment, which has become the deepest regret of this family.
In 2007, during filming in Shanghai, fate arranged another important encounter for Sun Li. One day, she stumbled upon her father on the street, who was setting up a stall. Sun Li was shocked to find that her originally tall father had been bent over by life and had gray hair.
This scene deeply touched the softest part of Sun Li's heart.
Sun Li walked up to her father and asked, "Dad, what are you doing here?" "
Sun Zhihong replied: "Aunt Huang is sick, I came to set up a stall to make money." ”
Huang Yuling suffered from muscle atrophy after being laid off, and her physical condition was not as good as before, and the burden of supporting her family fell on Sun Zhihong. Sun Zhihong's income from repairing his watch could not pay for Huang Yuling's high medical bills, so he had to come out at night to set up a stall.
This discovery made Sun Li have mixed feelings in her heart, and after returning home, she told her mother Deng Lifang about it. Teresa Teng has already let go of her past grievances and told her daughter: "You can find thousands of reasons to hate him, but you can't deny that you have to thank him for one thing, and that is that he brought you into this world."
For that alone, you should thank Him and repay Him, for He is your Father."
Just when Sun Li was hesitating how to face her father and stepmother, she received a letter from her sister Sun Yan. This letter reveals the truth about the 8,000 yuan back then, as well as the silent efforts of the father and stepmother over the years.
This unexpected discovery shattered the ice in Sun Li's heart, and she finally realized that her father had never abandoned her and had been silently loving her in his own unique way. This deep love made Sun Li's tears flow uncontrollably.
Years of misunderstanding and resentment vanished in this moment, replaced by deep guilt and emotion.
This chance encounter and the revelation of the truth became an important turning point in Sun Li's relationship with her father and stepmother, and also made her re-examine the love and bond between families.
What is touching is that during Huang Yuling's hospitalization, Sun Li's mother Deng Lifang was always grateful for her secret help and took care of her in her shoes. Although Sun Zhihong is busy with affairs and Sun Yan is still too young to arrange Huang Yuling's life like Teresa Teng, she has always done her best to take care of Huang Yuling's body.
Years of estrangement slowly dissolve in this shared love.
On the day Huang Yuling was discharged from the hospital, she warmly invited Teresa Teng and Sun Li, and the family sat together to have a family reunion dinner. This heartwarming meal runs through everyone's stomach and is delivered to everyone's heart.
Their relationship gradually became closer, and Sun Li also bought a house for her biological father and stepmotherIn Sun Li's heart, Huang Yuling has become her other mother.
At the wedding scene of Sun Li and Deng Chao in 2011, Sun Li specially invited the two mothers to attend together, which is like a perfect footnote to Sun Li's life - the once fragmented family was driven by great love to merge again and become complete.
Sun Li once sighed: "I am glad that my tolerance has made the world that was shattered in my childhood come back to good when I am an adult." I know that only love can bring true peace of mind.
Therefore, hatred does not bring happiness, but only love can make people truly get spiritual satisfaction" This hard-won family reconciliation has become the most precious gift in Sun Li's life.
