On a quiet dawn in Beijing, when the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds and illuminated the high-rise buildings of the bustling metropolis, Tang Guoqiang had already begun his busy day.
As a well-known veteran actor in China, his life seems to be glamorous, but the story behind it is rarely known.
In faraway America, his wife, Magnificent, and his two sons are living a very different life.
The eldest son, Tang Yinghan, has a visual disability, which makes the story of this family full of more twists and turns.
Tang Guoqiang's daily schedule is full, from dawn to late at night, he is active in the filming sites of various film and television dramas.
Despite his age, he seems to be always full of energy, and every role is played by him to the fullest.
However, beneath this glossy surface, there are hidden unspeakable worries and burdens in his heart.
In 1997, in the warm spring breeze of Beijing, Tang Guoqiang and his wife Zhuangli welcomed their son Tang Yinghan in the hospital.
Under the white walls and bright lights of the hospital, the cry of babies has become the most beautiful music of this small family.
Although Tang Guoqiang is 45 years old, at that moment, his face was filled with indescribable joy.
He gently picked up his newborn son, his eyes full of love.
With the arrival of Tang Yinghan, every day of Tang Guoqiang's family is full of new expectations and busyness.
Magnificent takes special care of this belated baby, and every "first time" is celebrated as a major event in the family.
The first smile, the first turnover, every moment of growth is carefully recorded.
However, as time went on, Mr. and Mrs. Tang began to notice that Mr. Tang seemed to struggle more than the other children when learning to walk.
Whenever they put toys in front of Xiao Yinghan and encouraged him to move forward, he always staggered unsteadily and often fell.
At first, Tang Guoqiang and Zhuangli thought that this might just be a normal part of their children's growth, but as the number of falls increased, doubts began to grow in their hearts.
Once, Zhuangli placed a string of colorful toy balls in the living room in an attempt to attract Tang Yinghan to come over.
Tang Yinghan's eyes flashed with excitement, and his little hand stretched out, but he suddenly fell after a few steps, and his forehead hit the ground lightly.
Magnificent immediately rushed forward and picked up the crying child, his heart full of confusion and anxiety. Tang Guoqiang watched from the sidelines, his brows furrowed.
That night, Tang Guoqiang and Zhuangli sat on the sofa in the living room, exchanging worried glances with each other.
They decided to take Tang Yinghan to the hospital for a comprehensive examination to find out the cause of the child's frequent falls.
In the hospital's examination room, Tang Guoqiang and his wife faced the doctor and heard the diagnosis of their son Tang Yinghan's vision problems.
The doctor explained Tang Yinghan's condition in detail, as well as what might have caused it.
He stressed that for middle-aged couples, the risks associated with having a child are relatively high, including congenital health problems.
After hearing all this, Tang Guoqiang's face showed deep worry.
He recalled that he was unable to spend time with his family because of his busy work, and his heart couldn't help but feel self-blame and sadness.
He looked at the magnificence beside him and Xiao Yinghan in his arms, his eyes full of complicated emotions.
But in this moment, he knew that as a father, he needed to be strong.
Leaving the diagnosis room, Tang Guoqiang and his wife took Tang Yinghan to a quiet corner of the hospital.
The corridors of the hospital are crowded with people coming and going.
But for Tang Guoqiang and his wife, it all seemed to be far away, and all their attention was focused on how to help their son improve his eyesight.
Magnificent carefully asked the doctor about the possibility and method of **.
The doctor offers a number of recommendations, including regular eye exams, wearing special glasses, and possible vision correction surgery.
Every suggestion, magnificent, was carefully recorded, and she knew it would be a long and difficult process, but she was willing to try anything possible for the sake of her son.
After discussing a series of ** plans, Tang Guoqiang and his wife decided to start with the most basic ** and prepare a suitable pair of glasses for Tang Yinghan.
They took their son to an opticians near the hospital.
In the store, Tang Yinghan, accompanied by his parents, tried on a few pairs of glasses.
Every time he tried a pair, Zhuangli carefully observed his son's reaction, hoping to find the one that suited him best.
Eventually, they settled on a pair of glasses that were light and comfortable.
Although they knew that this was just the beginning, Tang Guoqiang and his wife were full of hope.
They believe that with continuous efforts, they can one day help their son improve his vision.
After returning home, Zhuangli began to make a detailed ** plan for Tang Yinghan and arranged to go to the hospital regularly for eye examinations.
Although Tang Guoqiang is busy with work, he also promises to participate in his son's process as much as possible and give more support and companionship to his family.
In late spring and early summer of 2012, the cherry blossoms in Beijing had gradually withered, but Tang Guoqiang's home was a busy scene.
Tang Yinghan had just finished his junior high school in China and was facing an important turning point in his life – moving to the United States to continue his high school education.
After careful consideration, Tang Guoqiang and Zhuangli finally decided to send their son to the United States to study for the sake of better education and medical conditions.
The United States was chosen as the location for Tang's continuing education, both because of the more advanced medical technology and facilities available there to help with his vision problems, and because the American education system provides him with a more diverse and open learning environment.
Tang Guoqiang and Zhuangli hope that in such an environment, Tang Yinghan can not only get a better academic education, but also learn to be independent and self-growing.
Faced with the reality that his son is about to go to another country alone, Zhuangli made an important decision - to accompany him.
As a mother, she is well aware of the many challenges and difficulties Tang Yinghan will face in a foreign country, especially considering his vision problems, and she hopes to be able to assist and support him so that he can adapt and integrate more quickly in the new environment.
After making this series of decisions, Tang Guoqiang began to deal with the various preparations required to travel to the United States.
He knows that in order to establish a stable living environment for his family in the United States, the first thing that needs to be solved is accommodation.
After a period of investigation and comparison, Tang Guoqiang finally selected a family-friendly property in the United States and completed the purchase procedures.
Not only is this property strategically located and easily accessible, but it is also close to the high school where Tang Yinghan will be attending and some well-known medical centers, which is very much in line with their needs.
With the gradual completion of all the preparations, Tang Yinghan and his magnificent trip to the United States are also getting closer and closer.
Tang Guoqiang personally took them to the airport, and at the moment of farewell, he carefully instructed many matters, although his heart was full of reluctance, but for the sake of his son's future, he chose to send them away strongly.
After arriving in the United States, Zhuangli and Tang Yinghan quickly settled down and started a new life.
Zhuangli accompanied Tang Yinghan to participate in the high school entrance preparation and introduction activities, helping him to familiarize himself with the new school environment and rhythm of life.
With Magnificent Companionship, Tang Yinghan quickly adapted to life in the United States and began his high school studies.
