An ordinary village girl with a damaged face, what kind of picture will her future unfold?
In the absence of educational background, can she still hope that the flower of innocent love will bloom in her life? These questions were like a heavy stone mill crushing Teng Ziying's heart day and night, making her deeply worried.
This girl from a remote corner of Guizhou once thought that she had been left out in the cold by a ruthless fate. The tragedy began when she was a toddler when she accidentally fell into a brazier, leaving an indelible mark on the right side of her face.
When she was a child, she was ignorant, and she did not fully understand the world's demand for beauty.
Fortunately, surrounded by her father's love and warmth, she built a solid barrier against discrimination and gossip from the outside world.
Not only did her father promise that he would do his best to raise funds for her repair surgery in the future, but he also made her feel the difference between herself and others under the protection of love.
In Teng Ziying's small world, his father is the all-encompassing and omnipotent sky.
However, when she stepped into the threshold of nine years old, her life suddenly changed color, and the sky collapsed. A sudden accident takes away her father, as well as the pillars and hopes of her life.
The mother then remarried, the family's financial situation deteriorated, and the once warm nest turned into a barren field in an instant.
Teng Ziying, who was still an immature child, had to bear the malicious gaze that was originally blocked by her father alone. The people around her began to look at her with strange and indifferent eyes, and the scathing "You're so ugly" cut through her fragile heart like a sharp blade.
The gossip in the village has never stopped, and they are like a haze hanging over Teng Ziying's growth path, becoming a life challenge that she must face bravely.
Neighbors even went out of their way to visit her mother and tell her that children like Teng Ziying couldn't find their dream jobs even when they went to college.
As a result, Teng Ziying, who was only 14 years old at the time, was forced to drop out of school and stay at home.
Her mother soon went out to work with her new husband, and even during the Chinese New Year, she was usually accompanied only by Teng Ziying and her sister.
Every time she meets her father in a dream, it is Teng Ziying's happiest moment.
For only the father would gently stroke her head and smile and say to her, "My dearest daughter has grown up, and you must be brave and strong." ”
Unfortunately, dreams are always fleeting, but reality is long and difficult.
I don't know when Teng Ziying has grown into a slim woman and has become a leftover girl in the village who has attracted much attention.
Someone started introducing her boyfriend constantly.
Teng Ziying always seemed impatient about this.
She kept asking herself, should I bow to fate?
Is this the life you desire?
Are you willing to live your life like this?
However, unexpectedly, just when she felt lost and frustrated about her life path every day.
A magazine, a **, completely changed the direction of her fate.
In the midsummer of 2002, a report about a girl in Guizhou in the magazine "Liaoning Youth" deeply touched the heartstrings of readers. The unfortunate girl, who was left with high paraplegia due to an accident, sent a signal in the magazine for help that she longed for someone to accompany her**.
Under the same blue sky, a kind woman named Teng Ziying immediately made a decision after reading this report, she resolutely went to the hospital and decided to accompany this Guizhou girl in distress.
Because she knows that no one can better understand the helplessness and despair in the pain of illness than the patients themselves.
At the same time, in a corner of the capital, a boy named Chen Changzhi also flipped through this issue of "Liaoning Youth". In the eyes of his friends, he was a warm, independent and self-reliant model, and despite studying at an ordinary Beijing university, he obtained a diploma from Peking University many years later through self-study with his perseverance.
When he learned about the tragic experience of the girl in Guizhou, although he was not rich, Chen Changzhi did not hesitate to donate the money and took the initiative to dial **, hoping to give the other party encouragement and strength.
Fate is like a wonderful chapter woven by the hand of fate, although thousands of miles apart, two people with good intentions in their respective corners, in the same way. What is surprising is that it was Teng Ziying, who took care of the girl in the hospital, who answered Chen Changzhi**.
In this way, two people who also have hearts like gold met inadvertently. They had an in-depth conversation around the story of the paralyzed girl and the bits and pieces of their respective lives, and because of their like-mindedness, they left each other with *** and gradually developed into a pen pal relationship that never talked about anything.
Whenever the weight of life made Teng Ziying feel suffocated, she would put pen to paper and pour out her inner thoughts and anguish to Chen Changzhi.
Chen Changzhi will reply to every letter seriously, comfort her with the warmth between the words, motivate her, and firmly tell her: your choice is not wrong, and everything you are doing is full of value and meaning.
Chen Changzhi often shared with Teng Ziying the trivial things of his life, time flies, and four years pass in a flash. The number of calls between them has been uncountable.
In this frequent exchange, the seeds of love quietly took root in the hearts of the two. Finally, Chen Changzhi mustered up the courage and sent the first invitation to Teng Ziying:
Would you like to come to Beijing? ”
In the midsummer of 2006, the moment Teng Ziying arrived at Beijing Railway Station alone, remorse began to grow quietly in her heart.
She herself was puzzled why she made such an impulsive decision after hearing Chen Changzhi's words. However, as the train gradually approached its destination, Teng Ziying's heart was surging like a tide.
Although she tried to hide her inferiority complex on the right side of her face with her long waterfall-like hair, the uneasiness that came from her heart could not be concealed in any way.
Perhaps it was the fear of unknown changes, or the fear of losing the increasingly important figure in her heart, Teng Ziying chose to flee.
However, just as she was about to set out on her way home in silence, a call on the radio instantly broke through her barrier of self-protection: "Ms. Teng Ziying, your friend Chen Changzhi is waiting for you at the exit. ”
Even with the passage of time, the memories of that summer, every word on the radio, and the figure of the boy who always waited for her in the light were deeply engraved in Teng Ziying's heart.
Subsequently, they began a formal romance. Chen Changzhi did not flinch because of Teng Ziying's appearance, but deeply felt pity for this girl's experience.
After in-depth understanding of the story of his girlfriend's father, Chen Changzhi solemnly promised that he would love Teng Ziying like his own daughter.
Teng Ziying burst into tears, grateful that fate had allowed her to meet such a beautiful man who had surpassed all her expectations. Chen Changzhi took his girlfriend to Beijing, away from the small village life she didn't like.
In order to realize his girlfriend's father's last wish and perform surgery for her**, Chen Changzhi spent all his savings, even at the expense of wearing multiple hats and working hard.
He also had times when he was physically and mentally exhausted and almost collapsed, but every time he chose to bear it silently, secretly crying, and then put away his emotions so that it would not affect his lover at home. Even how much money the operation costed, he was reluctant to let his lover know, and he took care of everything silently.
At their wedding, Chen Changzhi wore a suit worth only 40 yuan, however, he gave Teng Ziying the best of everything. That is his deep love for her, and it is his cherishing and care for her.
Years have passed, and Teng Ziying once again feels the warmth of being cared for. That love, that love, seemed to have traveled through time and space, and took root in her heart again.
Since spending her life with Chen Changzhi, Teng Ziying's deepest feeling is that she has experienced unprecedented understanding and respect.
She is not satisfied with her role as a housewife, and her desire to realize her self-worth burns deep inside.
Chen Changzhi, who is well aware of the righteousness, fully supports this and specially buys a computer for her, which greatly stimulates Teng Ziying's entrepreneurial passion.
Although Teng Ziying does not have the aura of a high degree of education, she has always cherished her enthusiasm and unremitting pursuit of knowledge, studying day and night, and doing everything herself.
After going through countless hardships, she finally achieved remarkable achievements, which even made her husband, who is a lawyer, admire her, and resolutely quit her stable job and chose to fight side by side with her wife to write a chapter in her life together.
However, the road to entrepreneurship was not easy, and a mistake in investment decisions not only failed to make a profit, but instead took on a debt of more than 1 million. During that time, Chen Changzhi fell into a deep depression.
Faced with the predicament, Teng Ziying was heartbroken, but she didn't want to see her husband decadent. She quickly adjusted her mentality and decided to start a second business with great tenacity, no matter how bumpy the road ahead was, she was not afraid to start all over again.
She said to her husband affectionately: "Money is something outside the body, and it can be earned again, but the human spirit cannot be broken." ”
It was her perseverance that gave her husband the strength to regain his courage. Chen Changzhi once lamented that the outside world may think that he married Teng Ziying because of sympathy or because the other party is high, but in fact, his admiration and appreciation for her has never decreased by half a point.
Having known each other for 21 years and married for 17 years, they have gone from pen pals to bosom friends, from lovers to comrades-in-arms on the battlefield of life, supporting each other along the way.
Chen Changzhi found the way forward because of her, and Teng Ziying finally achieved a deep reconciliation and sublimation with himself because of his understanding and companionship.
Teng Ziying and Chen Changzhi, the two affectionate protagonists, used their 20 years of years to interpret an affectionate confession to the world: admiring a person has nothing to do with the beauty of the skin, but the passionate rush from the depths of two souls.
Their story is like a melodious symphony, interpreting the calm and affectionate love chapter in the context of the increasingly impetuous times.
In this ever-changing world, they stick to a love legend that is short and long, and let the world believe again that true love can transcend time and appearance, and only the resonance of the soul can cast an eternal love vow.
