Recently I heard a quote:
"In this world, there is always someone's love that can move you."
That's true.
I was recently moved by the love story of an actor.
He is Guo Jinglin.
- 01 -
In the entertainment industry, Guo Jinglin is a well-known marginal person.
Wooden personality, unsociable.
Only when he mentioned his wife Tong Xin, a rare smile appeared on his face.
The love between the two sprouted very early.
At that time, they were still young and lived together in a hutong in Beijing.
Although I don't know what love is, I already know who I want to play with in a group of friends.
Later, this good feeling slowly took root under the watering of time, and finally grew into an inseparable love.
In Guo Jinglin's words, it is:
"At an age when we didn't know how to love, we fell in love with each other."
When he grew up, Guo Jinglin fell in love with acting and dreamed of being an actor.
For this reason, he and his father are incompatible.
In his father's eyes, actors are just useless plays, and they will not be productive at all.
He thinks that Guo Jinglin should be a soldier or take a serious university.
But Guo Jinglin was unwilling, he was determined to take the road of an actor.
So, he secretly applied for the drama school behind his father's back.
However, there is no such thing as an impermeable wall, and my father eventually found out about it.
For a while, the father and son had a quarrel.
During that time, the only one who supported him was Tong Xin, who was also young.
She not only helped Guo Jinglin avoid his father's beating and scolding, but also helped him coordinate the relationship with his family.
In the end, Guo Jinglin was admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy as he wished.
He found Tong Xin as soon as possible and shared his joy with her.
As everyone knows, Tong Xin at this moment is a mixed blessing.
Happily, Guo Jinglin realized his dream.
Worryingly, they are about to be separated.
But Tong Xin didn't show her worries, because she knew better than anyone how much Guo Jinglin cherished this opportunity.
She didn't want their love to become a bondage to him.
For her lover's ideals, she will do her best to protect them.

With Tong Xin's support, Guo Jinglin, who had the dream of being an actor, embarked on a journey to the university.
After enrolling, he studied hard and absorbed knowledge like crazy.
However, an accident almost made Guo Jinglin drop out of school.
In his junior year, he received a phone call.
On the other end of the phone, it was my father's tired and anxious voice:
"Your mother is sick and dying, come back quickly, she wants to see you."
After hanging up the phone, Guo Jinglin immediately packed his luggage and went home.
When he saw his critically ill mother, he couldn't stop crying.
However, fate did not take pity on him and eventually took his mother away.
After the death of his mother, the family collapsed.
The father could not get out of the grief of losing his wife and drank heavily all day long.
My sister who is not in good health has no one to take care of.
As the eldest son in the family, Guo Jinglin decided to drop out of school and go home to take on the burden of supporting the family.
Tong Xin learned the news and hurried to stop him.
"You have one year to graduate, don't drop out. You can go back in peace, I will take care of my uncle and sister. ”
Tong Xin's words moved Guo Jinglin.
He secretly swore that he would marry her in the future and treat her well.
In 1994, Guo Jinglin successfully graduated.
He returned to Beijing, determined never to be separated from Tong Xin again.
On the eve of graduation, Guo Jinglin was full of joy, he thought that after finishing his studies and having a job, he could let Tong Xin live a good life.
However, reality dealt him a heavy blow.
The unit he was assigned to was facing demolition, and he was kicked around like a ball, and his income was very precarious.
In the days when his career was not improving, Guo Jinglin thought about giving up his career as an actor countless times.
It was Tong Xin's support and encouragement that gave him the motivation to continue.

Perhaps, if you really miss it, there will be an echo.
In 2000, Guo Jinglin's career finally ushered in a turning point.
Subsequently, his works were published frequently, and his income began to increase.
Marrying Tong Xin as his wife is an idea that Guo Jinglin has always had.
But he didn't have any money before, so he didn't dare to make promises easily.
Now that his career was improving, he immediately began to arrange it.
That day, Guo Jinglin bought flowers and rings, knelt down on one knee, and proposed to Tong Xin.
The childhood sweetheart's lover finally achieved a positive result.
In 2006, Tong Xin was pregnant, and Guo Jinglin was ecstatic.
However, bad news followed by good news.
During a check-up, Tong Xin was diagnosed with breast cancer.
With her physical condition, she is not suitable for having children at all.
Although the couple was reluctant to give up on this child, in order to save Tong Xin's life, they still decided to get rid of the child.
After that, Tong Xin actively received treatment, but the disease was menacing, and finally took her life.
After Tong Xin left, Guo Jinglin was grief-stricken.
Recalling the past, he hated that he hadn't been able to treat Tong Xin better.
He said: "If I knew my other half, I would only live to this year, I believe that from the day I met, I would not say a word about her." ”
Unfortunately, there are no ifs.
Tong Xin's departure became Guo Jinglin's regret after all.
Now, 15 years have passed since Tong Xin's death.
Over the years, Guo Jinglin has never remarried.
His family and friends were afraid that he would be lonely, so they all suggested that he find another one, but Guo Jinglin refused all.
For Guo Jinglin, Tong Xin has never left, she has always lived in his heart.
So, he is not alone, because their hearts are always together.
In the future, she will exist in another form, accompanying him through this life.
