In 1955, Bai Han was born in an ordinary family, and she was the only girl in the family. However, when she was 14 years old, fate ruthlessly threw a heavy blow to her - the tragic death of her mother brought her endless pain.
Two years later, the death of her father made her, a minor child, deeply feel the fragility and impermanence of life.
Bai Han was not defeated by life, but faced it positively and proved his strength with practical actions. She chose to leave school and join the art troupe of the Beijing Municipal Power Supply Bureau, repairing electricity meters during the day and performing in the art troupe at night, constantly honing her acting skills.
After many interviews, Bai Han was finally admitted to the National Experimental Theater in the spring of 1979, which was a turning point in her life. On the drama stage, she quickly became the pillar of the troupe with her outstanding acting skills.
After Bai Han became famous, deep down he always longed to have a complete family. However, her love life is full of twists and turns and challenges. With her only son, Han Qing, she once again had to face new difficulties.
Bai Han's first marriage ended in failure, and then fate allowed her to meet Han Xiaolei again. The film director, who is 14 years older than her, has also experienced a rough marriage, but he has a unique tolerance and patience.
At first, Han Qing was full of wariness and hostility towards this stepfather who suddenly appeared. But Han Xiaolei has always had no regrets, he always took Han Qing to the movies, and bought popcorn and oranges for him.
With Han Xiaolei's silent company, Han Qing gradually began to accept him, and slowly understood the true meaning of family.
Bai Han's cold state of mind slowly melted away in the warm love. In 1996, he and Han Xiaolei entered the palace of marriage. The time spent with Han Xiaolei made Bai Han's life more colorful and full of happiness.
They have the same interests and hobbies, and Han Xiaolei always encourages Bai Han to be positive and optimistic about life. Even though the two are separated by two places, they still talk for more than two hours a day.
In 2003, Han Xiaolei suddenly died of a heart attack at the age of 62. At her husband's funeral, Bai Han felt deep sadness. Since then, life has been like a dream, and sadness has been like a thunderbolt from the sky.
In order to commemorate Han Xiaolei, she chose to stay alone in the empty room and rely on her son for her life. In the dim light, she would cry silently in the middle of the night, nostalgic for the once energetic self.
In 2010, 55-year-old Bai Han successfully played the role of spicy mother-in-law Cao Xinmei in the family drama "The Beautiful Times of Daughter-in-law", and this work has also become a masterpiece in her acting career.
Cao Xinmei's performance in "The Beautiful Times of Daughter-in-law" is impressive. Based on her own life experience, she has created an ordinary female image who has experienced the grind of life but is kind and patient.
This drama caused a warm response across the country, and Bai Han also won the Best Actress Award at the Shanghai TV Festival. For this veteran actor, this award is undoubtedly the most perfect affirmation of her acting career.
At the award ceremony, she hugged her fellow actors excitedly, tears flashing in her eyes. She understands that this is God's affirmation of her life's work. If her husband were still alive, he would have been immensely proud of her accomplishments.
After winning accolades, Bai Han's life became more perfect. She enjoys chatting with her son's family late at night, and plans to continue her acting career for ten years before returning to her family.
However, fate challenged her in 2011. A year after the hit of "The Beautiful Times of the Daughter-in-law", Bai Han was diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumor.
At first, doctors thought the condition was benign, much to the relief of Bai Han and her son. However, the illness did not let her go. After a few months, the tumor began to worsen, and Bai Han endured unbearable pain, spending every moment in torment.
Her son Han Qing always stays by her side in order to protect his mother, whether at home or in the hospital.
In February 2012, Bai Han's emaciated body was hidden in a white hospital room, and she refused to allow her friends to see her frailty.
During this time, she clasped her son's hand and was deeply attached to her last loved one like a child. The sudden death of her mother was undoubtedly a huge blow to Han Qing.
On the way to take his mother's hearse to the crematorium, he almost fainted. Du Feifei held her husband, and tears slipped down first. After Bai Han was buried next to his father Han Xiaolei's tomb, Han Qing began to lose sleep all night long.
He often saw his mother in his dreams, but when he woke up, he could not find any trace of her.
Du Feifei has always been worried that her husband will behave abnormally, so she stays by his side every step to take care of him. Once, Du Feifei led Han Qing, who had collapsed, to her mother's grave.
When Han Qing saw the elegant handwriting on the tombstone, he couldn't help but cry out loud in grief and pressed his face against it. Han Qing's heart seemed to have been chiseled into a gap, because the cold stone blocked the last warmth between mother and son.
Under the red and swollen eyes, his wife comforted him affectionately: "Mom hopes that you can live strongly, don't let her continue to worry about you." Hearing these words, Han Qing looked up at the sky and nodded silently.
He was deeply aware that he had to pick himself up, follow his mother's example of bravery and move on. In order to commemorate her mother, Han Qing took her acting career as a new support for her life.
Since 2013, he has starred in several hit series and gradually became a well-known actor. Whenever the filming of a new drama is completed, Han Qing will send a message to her mother in heaven to tell her the good news.
He believed that his mother would be able to see him perform on the screen in heaven, and he was proud of him.
In the busy interval of the crew, Han Qing would drive to her mother's cemetery and accompany her quietly for a while. He would carefully wipe down the tombstone and confide in the recent trivia of life.
The sunlight shone through the clouds on the tombstone, reflecting the melancholy in Han Qing's eyes. Now, Han Qing is no longer the confused teenager, he has his own home and his own children.
He held the child and told his mother through the sky that he missed her. Middle-aged Han Qing wakes up in the middle of the night, and the last picture of her mother's life will always appear in front of her. That pain, that deep pain, has always been hidden in the softest place in Han Qing's heart.
Han Qing knew that it was necessary for him to put in more effort to live in order to dispel his mother's concerns about being in the Heavenly Spirit. This is not only a manifestation of his filial piety to his mother, but also his most basic requirement for himself as a man.
