In that brightly lit entertainment industry, Zhu Yuchen is like a pearl held in the palm of his hand, and his mother, Zhu Xiangling, loves him as "the sea is dry and the stones are rotten". But this love, sometimes too much, turns sour. Zhu Xiangling is the kind of mother who thinks that her son is the most perfect existence in the world, and no one else is worthy of him.
She interfered too much in Zhu Yuchen's life plan, and she even had to pass her level when she fell in love. Zhu Yuchen is obviously attractive, and many top beauties in the circle are interested in him, but what is the result? They were all demolished by their mothers. In the end, 44-year-old Zhu Yuchen's love life is still empty.
Zhu Yuchen's childhood and adolescence can be said to have been spent under Zhu Xiangling's strict supervision. Zhu Xiangling herself is also a literate person, working in the Shanghai Art Troupe, so she naturally has very high expectations for her son's education.
Although the family is not rich and expensive, Zhu Xiangling's right to speak at home is a must, which is called a domineering side leak. Zhu Yuchen's father is relatively gentle, and in the face of his wife's strength, he chooses to be silent most of the time.
I remember that in 1995, Zhu Yuchen was still a young boy at that time, and it was the time of youth rebellion. But in Zhu Xiangling's dictionary, the word rebellion does not exist at all. That year, Zhu Yuchen was sent by his mother to participate in the art examination of the ** Drama Academy, although he was reluctant in every way, but who let his mother's words be the holy decree of the family.
As a result, Zhu Yuchen did not succeed in that exam and fell off the list. However, this time he fell off the list, but he met Tang Wei with the same fate, and the two souls who were sympathetic to each other collided together in this way.
Since then, Zhu Yuchen and Tang Wei have become good friends. Their common experience has made them have a lot of topics to talk about, especially on the road of art examinations, and the two support each other and make progress together.
In 1998, fate pulled them together again, and in that year's art examination, Zhu Yuchen and Tang Wei met again, and their mutual encouragement during the exam made their relationship go further.
And when Zhu Yuchen was finally admitted to the Chinese opera, and Tang Wei fell off the list again, Zhu Yuchen did not have the slightest ecstasy, but was more concerned and comforted by Tang Wei. Their relationship slowly developed in this mutual support.
As time passed, the relationship between Zhu Yuchen and Tang Wei gradually deepened. At first, they were just friends who comforted and encouraged each other, but slowly, the two began to find that the other person occupied an increasingly important place in their hearts.
They left many common memories in the streets and alleys of Beijing, often going for walks in the park together, discussing art and future dreams together, and life was full of sweetness and romance.
Tang Wei's concern for Zhu Yuchen is reflected in all aspects of life. She learned that Zhu Yuchen didn't like breakfast, so she carefully prepared eggs every morning and delivered them to school by hand to ensure that he could have a fulfilling morning. This small gesture made Zhu Yuchen feel unprecedented warmth and love.
The relationship between the two unconsciously becomes even closer, and finally one day, they decide to sublimate this friendship into love and officially become a couple.
However, the good times did not last long, and the appearance of Zhu Xiangling cast a shadow on the sweet life of the two. Zhu Xiangling has always had a tight control over her son's life, and she is even more strict about Zhu Yuchen's relationship. She thinks that Tang Wei is young, not only will he not take care of people, but he will also delay Zhu Yuchen's studies and future.
In addition, Tang Wei fell off the list again, which made Zhu Xiangling even more opposed to this relationship. In her opinion, it is not easy for Zhu Yuchen to be admitted to Chinese opera, and she can't waste her good future because of early love.
As a result, Zhu Xiangling began to interfere frequently in their relationship, and even did not hesitate to hinder the relationship between the two in various ways. Her appearance completely changed the relationship between Zhu Yuchen and Tang Wei, making the originally sweet love full of pressure and constraints. In the face of Zhu Xiangling's strong opposition and various interventions, Tang Wei felt unprecedented pressure and powerlessness.
In the end, in order to avoid more conflict and injury, Tang Wei made a difficult decision - to break up with Zhu Yuchen and end this relationship that should have been beautiful.
Zhu Yuchen was extremely distressed by this breakup, and he couldn't understand why his mother interfered in his private life so strongly, and why he couldn't love and be loved as freely as everyone else. However, no matter how dissatisfied and ** he was, Zhu Xiangling insisted on his own opinion, believing that everything he did was for Zhu Yuchen's good.
The failure of this relationship not only made Zhu Yuchen lose his lover, but also made his future love life full of fear and uncertainty.
Time passed quietly, and Zhu Yuchen's life opened a new chapter. In 2009, he was fortunate to cooperate with Huo Siyan in a drama, and the two gradually fell in love before and after the camera. Huo Siyan, a hearty and straightforward Beijing girl, conquered Zhu Yuchen with her unique charm. In the long period of cooperation, the two got to know each other, relied on each other, and finally came together.
Zhu Yuchen knew his mother's control over his love life, and in order to make this relationship develop smoothly, he decided to let his mother Zhu Xiangling and Huo Siyan meet, hoping that the two could get along. However, good intentions do bad things.
At the first meeting, Zhu Xiangling criticized Huo Siyan's dress, and even put forward a series of harsh requirements for her. Zhu Xiangling's approach is undoubtedly evaluating Huo Siyan's person, which makes Huo Siyan feel very uncomfortable and makes Zhu Yuchen feel in a dilemma.
Huo Siyan revealed in an interview that Zhu Xiangling seems to want to find a "mother" for Zhu Yuchen who can take care of him, rather than a partner who loves him equally. This kind of motherly love made Huo Siyan feel a lot of pressure, and she found it difficult to get the respect and freedom she deserved in the relationship. The relationship between the two, under Zhu Xiangling's constant intervention, became more and more tense.
In the end, in the face of Zhu Xiangling's constant criticism and interference, Huo Siyan felt that she could no longer bear it. She clearly realized that if the relationship with Zhu Yuchen continued, she would never be able to get rid of Zhu Xiangling's shadow.
For the sake of her own happiness and to avoid more conflicts and injuries, Huo Siyan made a difficult decision - to end her relationship with Zhu Yuchen.
The end of this relationship once again brought a huge blow to Zhu Yuchen's heart. He began to question why his love life was always so unsatisfactory. Why is he always unable to have a normal relationship with his mother's intervention? Zhu Yuchen's heart was full of struggle and pain, but in the face of his mother, he still couldn't make an effective resistance.
After experiencing the breakup with Huo Siyan, Zhu Yuchen's emotional world seems to have fallen into a short period of silence. But the wheel of fate spun again, and his encounter with Jiang Yan was like a ray of warm sunshine shining into his gloomy heart.
Jiang Yan, who was not a very famous actress at that time, had an innocent and kind heart, and a pair of skillful hands, and was good at cooking all kinds of food. Zhu Yuchen was attracted by her sincerity and virtuousness, and the two soon came together.
Zhu Yuchen and Jiang Yan get along very well, and Jiang Yan's cooking skills make Zhu Yuchen look at her with admiration. They shared food together, planned the future together, and Zhu Yuchen even began to consider building a love nest with Jiang Yan and entering the palace of marriage. In Jiang Yan, Zhu Yuchen found peace and happiness that he had not seen for a long time, he thought that this time, he would be able to resist the interference of the outside world and protect this hard-won love.
However, the good times did not last long, and when Zhu Xiangling learned of her son's new relationship, her reaction was still strong opposition and intervention. In Zhu Xiangling's view, although Jiang Yan has a skill, she does not meet her strict standards for her future daughter-in-law in other aspects. She thought that Jiang Yan's family background and educational background were not enough to be worthy of her son, which made Zhu Yuchen once again in a dilemma.
Zhu Yuchen tried to explain and justify to his mother, hoping that she could give Jiang Yan a fair chance and let her truly understand Jiang Yan's advantages and inner beauty.
But Zhu Xiangling's attitude was resolute and unmoved, and her intervention once again became a stumbling block in Zhu Yuchen's love life. Faced with her mother's resolute opposition, Jiang Yan felt unprecedented pressure and helplessness, and she began to wonder if the future of this relationship could really be as she wished.
As time passed, Zhu Xiangling's opposition and intervention intensified, and Jiang Yan's patience and courage were gradually exhausted. In the end, in the midst of arguments and unpleasantness again and again, this supposedly beautiful relationship came to an end.
Zhu Yuchen experienced emotional failure again, and his heart was deeply hurt again. He began to reflect on whether he really couldn't get rid of his mother's influence and couldn't have a happy relationship of his own.
Zhu Yuchen's emotional path was repeatedly frustrated, making him feel powerless and frustrated. But in the bottom of his heart, he always longed to get rid of his mother Zhu Xiangling's control and fight for his own personal space and freedom. This desire reached its peak when he was in college. He believes that once he leaves his hometown and goes to Beijing to study, he will be able to gradually get rid of his mother's influence and start an independent life on his own.
However, Zhu Yuchen soon found that his idea was too naïve. On the day of university registration, Zhu Xiangling personally accompanied him to the school, which made Zhu Yuchen feel both heartwarming and a little lost. He thought he could take this opportunity to enjoy the fun of living alone, but he didn't expect his mother's love to follow him.
In the process of helping him tidy up his dormitory, Zhu Xiangling's overprotection was once again revealed. She not only asked Zhu Yuchen to put down the work in her hand and let her finish it, but also asked her roommate if anyone was snoring, worried that it would affect Zhu Yuchen's rest. Even when she saw the geckos and creepers on the wall, Zhu Xiangling couldn't help but want to clear them out to ensure Zhu Yuchen's living environment.
This excessive love and protection made Zhu Yuchen's roommates curious and surprised, while Zhu Yuchen himself felt very embarrassed and restrained. He longs to be able to complete various things in life independently like other classmates, but every "love" from his mother invisibly deprives him of this opportunity.
Zhu Yuchen's sense of independence and self-worth has been greatly challenged in this environment.
Just when Zhu Yuchen thought that college life could bring him a new start and allow him to have more autonomy, his mother's appearance and behavior once again made him feel deeply powerless and frustrated.
He began to realize that it was much more difficult than he thought to come out of his mother's shadow completely. Zhu Yuchen's heart is full of contradictions and struggles, he is grateful for his mother's love and sacrifice for him, and he deeply longs for true independence and freedom.
