Zhang Haolian: The illegitimate son who has been called for more than ten years, his father only came to recognize him after he became famous
Beyond the Bonds of Blood: Reconstructing the Definition of "Home".
The story is always a little dramatic. In 18 years, a child was labeled as an "illegitimate child" from birth to adulthood, and grew up under the care of a single mother. And at the other end of the story, the biological father, who has been absent for 18 years, suddenly appeared after the child became famous, wanting to make up for his regrets. The real plot that happened to Zhang Haolian is far more embarrassing than the TV series.
Zhang Haolian's story pushes an age-old but unavoidable topic in front of us: blood and companionship, which is the key to defining "home"? In the era of information explosion, we have seen too many similar stories. The aura of the star magnifies the originally hidden family conflicts, and also gives us the opportunity to examine the meaning of "home" from different angles.
In the traditional concept, blood is the bond that maintains family relations and is an inseparable bond. In real life, not all people who are related by blood can become qualified relatives. Absent fathers and indifferent mothers often leave indelible wounds in their children's lives. On the contrary, those who transcend blood ties and give children love and warmth interpret the true meaning of "home" with practical actions.
Just like Zhang Haolian's story, the love and companionship of his stepfather Zhang Danfeng soothed his childhood trauma and gave him the courage to chase his dreams. This father's love that transcends blood ties makes "home" no longer a cold word, but a harbor full of warmth and strength. Zhang Haolian's choice also shows us the understanding of the new generation of young people about "home": love and responsibility are far more important than blood relationship.
Jang Ho-lian's story is not unique, as diverse family structures are becoming more and more common in today's society. Restructured families, single-parent families, same-sex families...... These family models are challenging the traditional definition of "home". No matter how the form of the family changes, "love" is always the core element that connects the family.
Paying attention to the family and the parent-child relationship has become an important issue in the current society. In the pursuit of material life, we need to pay more attention to the spiritual needs and give children more love and companionship. It is also necessary to respect individual choices, understand different family models, and work together to build a more inclusive and warm social environment.
Zhang Haolian's story is like a mirror, reflecting the social reality, and also triggering our deep thinking about "home". Blood ties may be innate, but love and companionship are the cornerstones of building a "home". Let us protect every family with love, so that every child can grow up healthily in a loving environment.
