In 2006, Asru, a girl from the steppes of Inner Mongolia, came to the crew of "Mountain Chrysanthemum". She rode a good horse, shot a good arrow, and was as free and uninhibited as the wind on the prairie.
Asru's father often joked to her, "You love freedom so much, it seems that no man will be able to catch you in the future." Asru also thinks so, she feels that she will not compromise in her life to become a good wife and mother of the Gu family.
However, fate always likes to play a joke on people. In the crew, Asru met actor Gu Zhixin. When he saw Gu Zhixin for the first time, Asru's first reaction was: "Why is this man so dark?" At that time, Gu Zhixin shaved his hair very short for the needs of the role, his skin was already bronzed, and he wore a white sleeveless vest, which made his complexion even darker.
However, although his complexion is dark, Gu Zhixin is very energetic, with a pair of big eyes that are bright. In the play, Gu Zhixin and Asru are not only the hero and heroine, but also husband and wife, and the two have a lot of rivalry.
Every time they talked about the script, they could talk for a long time. Asru often goes to the side to nibble on an apple to moisten his throat halfway through reading, but Gu Zhixin is like a "line robot", his mouth can't stop at all, he is attentive and dedicated, and he doesn't stop after reading all the lines.
Asru admired him from the bottom of his heart. Over time, this admiration slowly sublimated into a good impression and liking. Asru began to take the initiative to find Gu Zhixin to speak lines, and would teach him archery, horseback riding and other activities whenever he was free.
The relationship between the two warmed up quickly, and it didn't take long for them to fall in love. Asru originally thought that falling in love was just the first step into marriage, but she didn't expect that their relationship was like entering an endless journey.
This free girl from the prairie meets the person who changed her life, and an unforgettable love story begins. Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, 2013 is coming.
35-year-old Gu Zhixin became popular with "I Am a Special Soldier", and his career is at its peak. At this time, an unexpected news broke the peaceful life of the two - Asru was pregnant.
Hearing the news, Asru was both excited and apprehensive. She kept telling Gu Zhixin the good news, hoping to get a response from the other party. However, Gu Zhixin was unexpectedly silent.
Seeing her boyfriend's silent appearance, Asru's heart sank, remembering the scene of unsuccessful marriage urging many times before, and couldn't help but wonder if Gu Zhixin really wanted to start a family with him.
Asru prepared for the worst, and said to Gu Zhixin: "If you don't want this child, let's break up, I won't talk about us to the outside world, and I won't use the child to tie you up."
Before he finished speaking, Gu Zhixin suddenly spoke: "Let's get married." It turned out that he had been worried that he would not be able to give Asru the life he wanted, but now that the child had arrived early, he decided to take responsibility.
During the filming of "Soldiers Out of Tongguan", the director suddenly asked for a circus. In order to make the effect more realistic, a blasting scene was also added. Who knew that it was this blasting scene that caused the horses to be frightened and directly threw Gu Zhixin out.
At that time, the ground was all dirt roads, and there were a lot of stones, and when Gu Zhixin fell to the ground, his legs happened to bend and hit the ground. In an instant, his pants and the ground were all stained with blood, and Gu Zhixin's legs were unconscious on the spot.
The crew immediately rushed him to the hospital. After a doctor's examination, it was determined that Gu Zhixin's spine was damaged, and he may be paralyzed in the later stage. This bad news was like a thunderbolt from the blue, shattering the beautiful hopes of the two.
Gu Zhixin fell into deep self-blame and despair, while Asru, who had a big belly, cried bitterly. Faced with this sudden disaster, Gu Zhixin looked at Asru and said bitterly: "Leave me, I can't give you the life you want, I don't want to delay you."
This sentence pierced Asru's heart deeply, and she stood up and swore a poisonous oath: "I still have your child in my belly, don't you want to leave me, no matter what you become, I will not give up on you!" In this way, their love faced the most severe test.
After the disaster struck, Gu Zhixin fell into deep self-blame and depression. He kept asking himself, "Have I become a wreck?" Looking at Asru, who had a big belly and had to take care of himself, Gu Zhixin's heart was like a knife, but he couldn't do anything.
One day, Gu Zhixin woke up and found Asru leaning against the wall and sleeping soundly. She gasped slightly, sweating profusely on her forehead, holding her stomach in one hand and the hot meal she had just bought in the other.
At that moment, Gu Zhixin felt that someone was tearing his heart, and the pain was unbearable. He stared at the ceiling, crying and blaming himself, and gradually his thoughts became blurred, and finally he suffered from depression.
Gu Zhixin really wants to be like this, maybe his girlfriend will be relieved in this way. So he called Asru to his side and said very seriously: "Let's break up, I don't want to drag you down, and I don't want to delay your future, the child can not be wanted first."
Hearing such indifferent words, Asru's tears immediately fell. But she didn't flinch, but replied firmly: "Don't say these discouraged words now, you will definitely be able to stand up later, no matter what you become, I will not leave you."
But no matter how comforted Asru was, Gu Zhixin was still determined to drive her away. He deliberately lost his temper, did not eat or drink, and threw all the quilts and fruits to the ground. But Asru didn't complain, just patiently packed everything, and went home to make soup and send it to Gu Zhixin.
Seeing Asru so determined, Gu Zhixin finally made up his mind: to recover strongly and give Asru a perfect home. Since then, he has no longer chased Asru away, but has warmly greeted her every day about her physical condition.
And he would continue to do rehabilitation exercises every day, even if the doctor told him it was time to rest, he would continue to do it for another twenty minutes. During these difficult days, Asru gave birth to a son for Gu Zhixin.
Because she had to take care of the child, she was unable to come to the hospital for a while. But this has inspired Gu Zhixin to have greater motivation to recover. He secretly vowed: "I want my son to see a sound father."
After Asru was out of confinement, he took his son to visit Gu Zhixin every day. The happy appearance of the family of three made the doctors sigh: "The relationship of this family is really good." And just like that, in the midst of mutual encouragement and support, time flies.
The perseverance that lasts day after day has finally paid off. One day eight years later, Gu Zhixin finally got out of his wheelchair and stood up. He can walk and jump like a normal person.
At that moment, Gu Zhixin was so excited that he burst into tears, hugged Asru tightly, and kept saying: "Thank you for your companionship for the past 8 years, thank you for not giving up." Asru did what she said, from pregnancy to childbirth, taking care of Gu Zhixin while taking care of the child, and she stayed by his side for 8 years.
Their love, in this long ordeal, became even more indestructible. After Gu Zhixin recovered, he couldn't wait to fulfill his promise and give Asru a grand wedding.
He kept his promise and took Asru to get a marriage license. He then began to plan a grand wedding, informing all his relatives and friends, and calling them one by one to tell them: "This wedding is huge, don't be late."
"However, plans have not kept up with the changes. In the midst of the preparations for the wedding, Asru began to feel unwell. She often felt back pain and vomited frequently. Gu Zhixin was worried that his wife was sick, so he hurriedly took her to the hospital for examination.
It turned out to be an unexpected surprise - Asru is pregnant again! It was supposed to be a celebration event, but the doctor's words put the two in a dilemma. The doctor told them that because Asru was overworked from taking care of the paralyzed Gu Zhixin during her last pregnancy, she was not in good physical condition and needed to recuperate well and not have too much activity.
For the health of his wife and unborn child, Gu Zhixin and Asru decided to stop the wedding for the time being and take care of their bodies first. Wedding is every girl's dream, at first Asru did not agree to postpone it, she also wanted to have a dream wedding.
But thinking of the child in her belly, she finally dismissed this idea. Since then, Asru has been living at home with a baby waiting for delivery. Gu Zhixin knew that it was not easy for his wife, so he also reduced his work and concentrated on taking care of Asru at home.
He worked hard to learn how to cook, and although he often put sugar as salt in his meals, Asru always laughed and ate it all. Ten months later, Asru gave birth to their second son.
The two little ones bring infinite joy to the family and make their lives more fulfilling. Although a grand wedding was not held, the happiness of Gu Zhixin and Asru quietly bloomed in the daily life of firewood, rice, oil and salt.
The arrival of their two sons has made Gu Zhixin and Asru's family life both lively and challenging. Gu Zhixin, who used to be thoughtful and never obeyed authority, is now painstakingly trying to educate these two naughty little guys.
He often lamented that he had lost his personality, that he had become entangled in his errands, and that he had even been often sleep-deprived. Every night, it was late at night when Gu Zhixin came home from work, and he wanted to rest early, but he was always pestered by two energetic little guys to play together.
To add insult to injury, even if he didn't go to work until 8 or 10 the next day, the children would wake him up at 6 a.m. When Gu Zhixin wants to exercise his father's authority, the two little clever ghosts always have a way to resolve it.
They will pretend to be aggrieved, with tears in their eyes, and say to their mother with a pitiful face: "Dad wants to beat us, we are so wronged, we just want to play with him......" Asru, who loves her son, hears that the child is being "bullied", and often walks up to Gu Zhixin with slippers, asks him to admit his mistakes, and punishes him for going to the room alone at night to sleep.
In contrast, the two little ones are extraordinarily gentle with their mothers. Every time Asru was at home, they were like clingy spirits, bringing her tea and water, and massaging her shoulders.
They will also play a game of hide and seek, deliberately losing the game just to say ten good words to their mother, and their mouths are very sweet. Seeing this scene, Gu Zhixin couldn't help but ask his two sons why they didn't treat themselves like this.
The answer was, "You're not as good-looking as your mother." Such an answer made Gu Zhixin cry and laugh. Despite all the small challenges in life, Gu Zhixin and Asru still found their own happiness in this ordinary day.
Although this family is not vigorous and romantic, it is full of warmth and joy. Today, Asru is 41 years old. Looking back, she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. The free woman who once galloped on the steppes of Inner Mongolia has now become a good wife and mother with a baby at home.
This change happened all because of the emergence of Gu Zhixin. Asru is willing to take care of her paralyzed boyfriend during pregnancy and will not leave her company for 8 years. Although they didn't have a wedding twice, they felt a little regretful in their hearts, but they knew that their relationship could not be defined by a wedding for a long time.
The story of Gu Zhixin and Asru shows the power of sincere love. They have proved with practical actions that as long as two people are in the same heart, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.
Although life is full of trivialities of firewood, rice, oil and salt, they still find their own happiness in the ordinary. This love that has gone through hardships not only brings the hearts of the two people closer and closer, but also allows them to constantly improve themselves as they grow.
Asru, who once did not want to be a good wife and mother, gave everything for love; And Gu Zhixin has also grown from a career-focused actor to a responsible husband and father.
Their stories tell us that love is not only a vigorous passion, but also a companionship of a long stream. Supporting each other in the face of difficulties and understanding each other in ordinary life is true love.
The story of Gu Zhixin and Asru will undoubtedly become a model of love that many people envy and yearn for, interpreting the true meaning of "seeing truth in adversity".
