1983 was undoubtedly the most dazzling year for Zhou Lijing's career development! He starred in the highly acclaimed movie "Life" and the popular TV series "There is a Beautiful Woman in the South", both of which swept the country that year, set off a ticket sales boom, and became a box office hit.
Just as he was at the peak of his career, he met his beloved Fu Chunying.
Speaking of Fu Chunying, she is a leader in the field of dance and enjoys the reputation of "Northwest Fu Chunying". She not only has excellent dancing skills, but also attracts the attention of many audiences with her unique temperament.
Zhou Lijing and Fu Chunying's encounter originated from the recommendation of a friend, and they fell in love at first sight when they met, and since then they have fallen into a sweet relationship.
In 1983, Zhou Lijing and Fu Chunying entered the sacred hall of marriage. Soon after, the crystallization of their love, their lovely daughter Kim Jin, was born. During this time, their family of three shared the joy of family and lived a carefree and happy life.
Zhou Lijing often brings his wife and daughter to the crew, and after work, he will hug his wife affectionately and hug his daughter intimately, and the family's emotions are deep and enviable.
However, good times are always short-lived. In 1994, it was supposed to be a happy year for the family, but a tragedy completely broke Zhou Lijing's warm family life.
This news is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Zhou Lijing. His whole body seemed to be struck by lightning, tears fell like rain, and he frantically dialed his wife's phone, but he could only hear endless busy sounds.
Witnessing the tragic situation of his wife on her deathbed, Zhou Lijing could no longer bear this huge grief.
The pain of widowhood made Zhou Lijing leave the showbiz gloomily, and he began to gradually become depressed, turning a blind eye to the retention of the outside world. Mentally depressed all day, even his beloved daughter was affected by his depressed mood and waited alone in kindergarten.
The family saw it in their eyes and was anxious in their hearts, and persuaded him to let go of the past and find a new life partner, but Zhou Lijing turned a deaf ear to this, and just poured out his inner thoughts to the relics of his deceased wife day after day, regretting that he neglected his family for the sake of his career.
Just when Zhou Lijing was at a low point in his career and was in dire straits, a vigorous and optimistic female soldier - Zhang Wei, illuminated his life path like a bright sunshine, and reached out at the most critical moment, giving him strength and support.
It turned out that since the moment Zhang Wei first met Zhou Lijing, he was deeply attracted by his charming appearance, extraordinary talent, and consistent dedication to feelings.
She is a die-hard fan of Zhou Lijing, obsessed with the film and television superstar's unique style, extraordinary intelligence, and excellent acting skills. It's a pity that Zhang Wei already had a family at that time, and in order to maintain her marriage, she had to hide the love that was buried deep in her heart and chose to be an unknown fan.
However, when she learned of the tragic death of her idol's wife, Zhang Wei's heart was full of grief, and she silently prayed: May Zhou Lijing get rid of the shadow as soon as possible and rekindle the hope of life.
It is amazing that this seemingly trivial wish has been realized many years later. After an in-depth understanding, Zhang Wei decided to use her gentleness and optimism to dispel the deep melancholy in Zhou Lijing's heart, and did her best to care for and encourage him.
As a classic quote says: "If you want to bring warmth to others, you must first become a ray of light" Zhang Wei communicated with Zhou Lijing with her energetic smile and positive attitude, hoping that her enthusiasm could inspire his love of life.
She even ignored the opposition of relatives and friends, and resolutely asked Zhou Lijing, who was ten years older than herself, to get married. In the face of Zhang Wei's sincere and passionate love, Zhou Lijing's heart was full of gratitude.
He said affectionately: "It is your appearance that has injected warmth into my home, and now I at least no longer feel lonely and painful" It is Zhang Wei's selfless dedication that allowed him to regain the courage and motivation to live, leading him out of the predicament and embarking on a new journey in life.
Although Zhang Wei saved Zhou Lijing with her warmth and love, life after marriage was not all smooth sailing. Initially, their daughter Jin Jin found it difficult to accept the existence of this new mother, and had strong wariness and resistance to Zhang Wei.
In the face of Jin Jin's doubts, although Zhang Wei was full of bitterness in her heart, she never got angry because of this, on the contrary, she chose to treat this child who was a little alienated from her with endless patience and tenderness.
Sometimes, Ms. Zhang Wei would cook the delicacies that Jin Jin loved and comfort her with a sincere and gentle tone: "Don't be afraid, Auntie, I am not a wicked person.
If you are unhappy with me, I will do my best to avoid it and not to cause trouble to you and your father."
It is precisely because of this sincerity and patience that Ms. Zhang Wei has gradually won the trust and dependence of Jinjin. Once, when the father and daughter had a conflict, Ms. Zhang Wei did not hesitate to stand up to protect her daughter, and said firmly: "As a father, you should learn to respect the child's choice!" Seeing Ms. Zhang Wei defend herself so resolutely, Jin Jin's heart was deeply moved, and he changed his opinion of her.
Since then, Jin Jin's attitude towards Ms. Zhang Wei has changed dramatically, she is no longer prejudiced, but admires and respects her from the bottom of her heart, no longer calling her "aunt", but affectionately calling her "Mom".
Under the care and guidance of Ms. Zhang Wei, Jin Jin became more and more sensible and obedient, and no longer rushed to ask her father for help when encountering problems, but first sought Ms. Zhang Wei's advice.
The relationship between mother and daughter is becoming increasingly close, and together they create a family atmosphere full of warmth and happiness.
Under the meticulous care and encouragement of Ms. Zhang Wei, Mr. Zhou Lijing gradually got rid of the shadow of the past and rekindled his love for his career.
In 2021, at the age of 67, he participated in a romantic movie "The Poet", which appeared on the big screen again, making many young actors full of praise for his acting skills.
"It was a great honour to have the opportunity to work with this veteran actor. At the shooting site, although he is old, Mr. Zhou Lijing still maintains his strong energy and is engrossed in the role.
He performed every action and every look to the fullest, and deservedly won the reputation of "actor".
In between shooting, Mr. Zhou Lijing likes to exchange experiences with the staff. His words are full of rich life experience and deep insight, recalling the glorious moments of the past, he does not show too much joy, but sighs deeply and is full of emotion.
It turned out that before taking over the filming of this movie, Mr. Zhou Lijing was in an extremely depressed period. Since the tragic death of his wife, he has fallen into endless grief and lost all enthusiasm for life and career.
During those days, he even thought about giving up everything and going to the end of his life.
"If it weren't for Zhang Wei, I'm afraid I would have been mired in endless darkness and couldn't extricate myself. Zhou Lijing affectionately praised the changes brought about by Zhang Wei's appearance, and his face was full of sincere gratitude.
He said frankly that it was precisely because of Zhang Wei's patient companionship and optimistic attitude towards life that he was able to gradually get out of that gloomy time and regain his love for life.
"Zhang Wei is like a warm beam of sunshine, illuminating my once gloomy life journey. In the daily work of the crew, everyone witnessed Zhou Lijing's deep affection for his wife.
He often sighed that it was Zhang Wei who saved himself with her gentleness and firmness, giving him the opportunity to embrace life again and cherish the beauty in front of him.
In fact, before today's happy life came, Zhou Lijing also faced family pressure and was persuaded to let go of the past and find a new partner.
However, at that time, he turned a deaf ear to this, and just poured out his thoughts to his deceased wife's relics every day, regretting that he had neglected his family's feelings because he was too focused on his career.
The pain of widowhood made Zhou Lijing's heart cut like a knife, and he resolutely left the showbiz, turning a blind eye to the retention of the outside world. He was depressed all day long, and even the scene of his baby daughter crying and waiting alone in kindergarten touched his heart deeply.
Seeing this situation, the family was distressed, and could only guide him patiently, hoping that he could let go of his past attachments.
However, the scars in Zhou Lijing's heart are too deep, and whenever he stares at his wife's relics, he can't help but shed tears and remorse.
Until she met Zhang Wei, this ten-year-old girl inspired Zhou Lijing's determination to get out of the haze with her unique gentleness and courage.
From acquaintance to marriage, Zhang Wei successfully ignited the last ray of hope in Zhou Lijing's life with his positive attitude and selfless love.
Zhou Lijing sighed: "Zhang Wei's arrival has added warmth to my home, at least now I no longer feel lonely and miserable."
After marriage, Zhou Lijing and Zhang Wei lived a low-key and simple life. Although he was resisted by his daughter Jin Jin at first, Zhang Wei never gave up, and won Jin Jin's trust with practical actions day after day, and finally got the affectionate title of "Mom".
Under Zhang Wei's careful care, Jin Jin became more and more sensible, and always sought advice from Zhang Wei first when he encountered things.
The relationship between mother and daughter is extremely harmonious, and the whole family is full of harmony and joy, all of which are brought about by the appearance of Zhang Wei.
Zhou Lijing said with deep feeling that it was this woman who was ten years younger than him, with her gentle and touching temperament and unwavering perseverance, that healed his inner wounds, enabled him to regain his love for life and cherish this hard-won happy time in front of him.
