In the popular family sitcom "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" in Guangzhou, we see four sons in a large family marrying four daughters-in-law from different places, showing the interesting story brought by cultural differences.
Among the many daughters-in-law, a character loved by the audience is the daughter-in-law of Diana from a foreign country, and the actress He Lianlu, who plays this role, is also a real Chinese daughter-in-law!
Helenlu, a beautiful German girl, has a deep love for Chinese culture. From an early age, she has shown excellent learning ability and excellent character and academic qualities.
In 1990, she was successfully admitted to the world's top university, the University of Munich, and became a veritable scholar. In addition to studying, Helianlu's artistic accomplishment is also very high.
She is keen on ** drama to relax her tired body and mind. Drama can not only bring her wonderful stories and climactic plots, but also allow her body and mind to temporarily escape from the troubles and sorrows of real life.
But Helenlu was even more attracted by the cultural connotation of the drama story. As a scholar, she has the habit of in-depth research, and every time she finishes a drama, she will trace back to the source and understand the story of the drama.
After some in-depth research, Helena was pleasantly surprised to discover that her favorite drama originated in a distant and mysterious ancient country in the East, China. In the process, Helena was fascinated by China's rich history and culture.
To her, this ancient country is like a giant theater of dramas, with countless wonderful stories and rich cultural connotations, which are enough to inspire anyone's imagination.
Helena is a bold woman, and since she has a deep interest in China, she went to China to experience those beautiful stories firsthand. So, she began to gather information and find ways to get to China.
Helena learned that every year Germany offers a scholarship to university students, so that they can freely travel to other countries for study exchanges.
Helena is confident in her future and is determined to seize this rare opportunity. Her attitude towards learning has become more positive, and she can be seen struggling in the sea of books, day or night.
In addition to this, she also began to teach herself Chinese, which is often considered one of the most difficult languages in the world for people who speak other languages in the world, although we Chinese may not find it difficult.
Learning Chinese on her own is undoubtedly a daunting task, but Helena's love for the Chinese language has enabled her to overcome all difficulties. In 1992, she not only successfully won the German Sino-foreign academic exchange scholarship, but also received an admission letter from Peking University, a famous Chinese university.
Helena finally realized her dream and traveled thousands of miles to China, where she could study ancient Chinese literature in a tolerant country.
In Helianlu's imagination, China is a country full of ancient cultures, where people wear long robes, greet each other and salute, and call each other Miss Gongzi. However, when she experienced China first-hand, she found that China has modernized in reality, but her sense of preservation of history and culture is very strong.
This gave her the opportunity to delve into the stories of ancient Chinese history, although as a foreigner, she was unfamiliar with the place and Chinese was limited to studying books, and could not communicate fluently with taxi drivers, which made her feel very troubled.
However, this did not stop her from looking for traces of history in the ancient historical capital of Beijing, and she decided to study Chinese culture at Peking University, and in her spare time, she went deep into the streets and alleys to explore the traces of history.
When Helianlu was confused and helpless, an enthusiastic Beijing taxi driver, Wang Hongye, appeared in front of her. He was a driver she often met near Peking University, and she had some impressions of this foreign girl.
Wang Hongye often saw Helian show her hands and feet and use the ground to express to other drivers where she wanted to go, but she was often rejected due to the language barrier. Wang Hongye is an empathetic person, he knows very well that it is not easy for outsiders to live in Beijing, let alone a foreign friend who does not understand the language.
So, when he saw Helenlu again, he took the initiative to stop and decided to help the foreign girl. Surprisingly, although Helianlu's body language was not understood by the other drivers, Wang Hongye seemed to be able to understand her needs in an instant and take her to the right destination.
On the journey to their destination, the two have an in-depth conversation. Wang Hongye learned about her love for Chinese history and culture from this foreign lady, and his pride was spontaneous.
The taxi driver who shuttles through the streets and alleys of Beijing is undoubtedly the person who knows the customs of a place best, knows the best sights of this place, and knows the best special snacks in this place.
Therefore, Wang Hongye confidently patted his chest and assured Helianlu that he would be able to help her experience authentic Beijing culture. He Lianlu was very pleasantly surprised by this, and the two exchanged *** and agreed to follow Wang Hongye to experience Beijing's culture in depth in the next month.
During this month's trip, Wang Hongye led Helianlu to visit many scenic spots that showcase ancient Chinese culture, and also worked part-time as a tour guide, explaining to her the cultural background behind these attractions and relics in easy-to-understand language.
At the same time, he also took He Lianlu to shuttle through the alleys of the hutongs and taste local snacks, allowing her to experience the quaint, deep and full of life side of Beijing, which is completely different from the international metropolis in her impression.
Wang Hongye became Helianlu's first Chinese friend in the true sense of the word, and his patience and carefulness deeply touched this lively and cheerful foreign girl. However, Wang Hongye's feelings for Helianlu are deeper.
He admired Helianlu's spirit of learning Chinese culture across the ocean, and also admired her warm and bright smile. After they finished their trip together, he missed Helenlu every day.
Love is like a gift that suddenly falls from the sky, opening it may give you surprises, but it can also usher in loss. Wang Hongye deeply felt the preciousness of this fate and decided to express his sincere feelings to Helianlu.
As a young man who is full of impulsiveness and enthusiasm for love, he was carried away by the sudden love, and even went directly to Peking University to confess to Helianlu.
If you were Helenlu, how would you react to this sudden confession?A man who has only known you for a month confesses to you, and you have hardly talked about any other topics except for the scenery and snacks in Beijing, without deep emotional exchanges, and there is no opportunity to get to know each other, under normal circumstances, most people may choose to refuse.
Helian Lu declined Wang Hongye's confession, her heart was full of gratitude to this man, but it didn't mean that she would give her feelings easily. Wang Hongye's enthusiasm was like a raging flame, but Helianlu's refusal was like pouring a basin of cold water on this flame, making it extinguish in an instant.
I can't ask for it, I think about it day and night. Carefree, tossing and turning. "It is undoubtedly painful to be rejected by a loved one, but that beautiful figure always comes to mind on a lonely night.
Wang Hongye hesitated between persistence and giving up. The ancients said: "As long as the sincere heart is firm enough, even the stubborn stone can be moved." "In order to win the heart of your sweetheart, why not be an infatuated man?
Wang Hongye is unwilling, since God has given him a chance to love, then he will create a beautiful love with his own hands! So he decided to fight a protracted "love war", and he was no longer in a hurry to confess, because he understood that Helianlu was not in love with him yet, and a rash confession would only bother her.
When Wang Hongye met Helianlu again, he didn't express his love again, but simply gave her a thoughtful gift and left. This gift can represent both love and friendship, Wang Hongye chose to remain vague, and Helianlu had no reason to refuse this gift as a friend.
So, Wang Hongye gave gifts to Helianlu for three consecutive years, although it was not high, but it was full of heart. His behavior is like opening up a "second vein" of love, and he began to show a mature gentlemanly demeanor, keeping a certain safe distance from Helianlu, in the words of the Internet buzzword, "above friendship, less than lovers".
In fact, Helenlu had already been impressed by the man's actions. The power of action is always greater than words, and silent perseverance and tenderness are better than warm confessions.
If you want to win the heart of a beauty, sweet words are better than actions.
The relationship between He Lianlu and Wang Hongye is like a naturally growing plant, slowly sublimating from appreciation to strong love. Wang Hongye paid deep attention to Helianlu's every movement and smile, and he knew that his sweetheart's heart had been opened for him, so he carefully planned a second confession and finally won her love.
They developed from friends to lovers for three years, but soon after the relationship was confirmed, they entered the palace of marriage together, and in 1995, Helianlu officially became a Chinese daughter-in-law.
Their newlyweds are full of sweetness, however, they also face a major challenge: Helenlu's study exchange is coming to an end, and she will return to Germany, which means that they must start living separately.
Helenlu is rational about love and life goals, and she hopes to move to Germany with her husband, but the language barrier and her husband's work are challenges she has to face.
Therefore, she cautiously expressed her thoughts to Wang Hongye. Wang Hongye understands and respects Helianlu's decision, he has been sticking to love for three years, and now he is willing to adapt to life in Germany for Helianlu.
He encouraged Helenlu to continue her studies and promised to go to Germany together. When Helianlu was in school, Wang Hongye took on all the household chores and even did odd jobs in broken German to support the family.
Deeply touched by her husband's dedication, Helenlu devoted herself wholeheartedly to her studies, accelerated her academic progress, and finally said to her husband after her study in Germany: "Let's go back to China together." ”
After several years of living abroad, Mr. and Mrs. Helianlu decided to return to China and settle in Beijing to start their new life. For Helenlu, this return to China is not only a major change in life, but also a new starting point for her career.
However, in order to put down roots in Beijing, you first need to find a satisfying job. Although Helianlu was already quite proficient in Chinese, many of her resumes were not met with satisfactory responses.
In the process, she accidentally learned that Beijing Satellite TV was holding a Chinese talent competition for foreigners, and she felt that this was a good opportunity to increase her competitiveness in job hunting, so she did not hesitate to sign up.
She unexpectedly excelled in the show, not only fluent in language, but also with an in-depth understanding of sketch scripts, and her acting power was not inferior to that of professional actors. Helenlu's outstanding performance made her stand out in the show, winning the eventual victory, while also attracting the attention of many directors and producers.
In 2000, a director invited her to play a supporting role in a TV series, which was "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang". This thousand-episode family sitcom was so popular at the time that it was almost a household name.
This invitation surprised Herrenlu, because she has loved watching dramas since she was a child, and now she cherishes the opportunity to experience acting firsthand. Therefore, she accepted the offer without hesitation.
After discussing with her husband Wang Hongye, Helianlu flew to Guangzhou alone to participate in the filming. Cantonese is a language very different from Mandarin, Helenlu has to learn from scratch, in addition to this foreign language, she also needs to understand and memorize a lot of lines, but the busy pace of life makes her full of enthusiasm and put more energy.
But at the same time, she neglected her family. Helianlu's work is so busy that she can no longer make ** porridge with Wang Hongye and talk about interesting things in life like before, and instead it is a topic of filming and acting that she is completely unfamiliar with Wang Hongye, which makes Wang Hongye feel unbalanced and insecure, but he also feels distressed about his wife's work, so he decided to go to Guangzhou to visit her in person.
However, Wang Hongye's sudden visit did not surprise Helianlu, because on that day, she encountered some difficulties at work, and her mood was already irritable, and she confided in her husband but did not receive warm encouragement, which made her feel very aggrieved.
Both of them held their breath in their hearts, and it broke out into a fierce quarrel in an instant, and Helianlu even said "divorce" without hesitation.
When we're angry, the words we say are often the most hurtful because they reveal our innermost thoughts. "A hundred years of repair can be crossed in the same boat, and a thousand years of repair can be slept together", Marriage is worth cherishing, but how many marriages that should be happy and happy have been destroyed by two words.
In order to avoid the escalation of the conflict and make the marriage unhappy, the two decided to separate first and calm down for a while. During the cooling-off period, Wang Hongye took the initiative to back down, he realized that his wife was in a bad mood and felt very self-blamed.
He believes that as a husband, he did not give his lover enough understanding and support when he needed it, but instead complained about it, which led to a quarrel. After much deliberation, he decided to apologize to his wife and promised to solve the problem at the source.
He once again assured his wife that he supported all her decisions, and even decided to bring the whole family to live in Guangzhou. In just one week, Wang Hongye not only persuaded his family, but also completed the moving business alone.
This made Helianlu feel very moved, and she also apologized to her husband for what she said in anger.
The couple successfully survived the marital crisis and returned to the sweet life. After He Lianlu and Wang Hongye gave birth to twins, He Lianlu chose to return to the family and take on the education of the children.
She not only pays attention to the accumulation of knowledge for her children, but also emphasizes the logic and openness of thinking, although this Western-style education concept has been questioned, Wang Hongye firmly believes that his wife can provide a better education for her children.
Today, they have been married for 27 years together, and although some have predicted that their marriage will not last long because of their huge differences in language, culture and education, they have proved the power of love and the tenacity of marriage with practical actions.
It turns out that love is not bound by any external conditions, it exists only between two sincere hearts. Love is able to transcend any obstacle and solve all difficulties.
Only true love can overcome the barriers of mountains, rivers and seas, and only tolerance can lead us to eternity.
