In that brightly lit entertainment circle, Zhu Yuchen was like a pearl in the palm of his hand. His mother, Zhu Xiangling, loved him so much that it could be described as "the sea withers and the stone rots." But this love, sometimes too much, will change flavor. Zhu Xiangling was the kind of mother who felt that her son was the most perfect existence in the world and that no one else was worthy of him.
She meddled in Zhu Yuchen's life plan so much that she even had to go through her to fall in love. Zhu Yuchen is obviously charming, and many top beauties in the circle are interested in him. What's the result? All of them were torn down by their mother. At the end of the day, Zhu Yuchen, 44, had an empty love life.
It can be said that Zhu Yuchen spent his childhood and adolescence under the strict supervision of Zhu Xiangling. Zhu Xiangling is also a literate person, works in the Shanghai Art Troupe, and naturally has high expectations for her son's education.
Although the family is not very rich, but Zhu Xiangling's voice at home is unique, which is called a domineering side leak. Zhu Yuchen's father is more gentle. In the face of his wife's strength, he chooses to be silent most of the time.
I remember that in 1995, Zhu Yuchen at that time was still a young and astringent teenager, and it was the time of youth rebellion. But in Zhu Xiangling's dictionary, the word treason does not exist at all. That year, Zhu Yuchen was sent by his mother to take the art examination of the Central Academy of Drama. Although he was unwilling in every way, who let his mother's words be the imperial edict of the family?
As a result, Zhu Yuchen did not succeed in that exam and failed. However, this failure made him meet Tang Wei, who had the same fate, and the two souls who felt sorry for each other collided in this way.
Since then, Zhu Yuchen and Tang Wei have become good friends. Their common experience makes them have a lot of topics, especially on the road of the art examination, the two of them support each other and make progress together.
In 1998, fate brought them together again, and in that year's art exam, Zhu Yuchen and Tang Wei met again, and their mutual encouragement during the exam made their relationship further.
When Zhu Yuchen was finally admitted to the Chinese opera, and Tang Wei failed again, Zhu Yuchen did not have the slightest ecstasy, but more concern and comfort for Tang Wei. Their relationship slowly developed with such mutual support.
With the passage of time, the relationship between Zhu Yuchen and Tang Wei gradually deepened. At first, they were just friends who comforted and encouraged each other, but slowly, they began to find that each other occupied a more and more important position in their hearts.
They left many common memories in the streets of Beijing, often went for a walk in the park together, discussed 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. Knowing that Zhu Yuchen doesn't like breakfast, she carefully prepares eggs every morning and delivers them to school with her own hands to make sure he has a full morning. This small act made Zhu Yuchen feel more warm and loved than ever before.
The relationship between the two became closer before they knew it, and finally one day, they decided 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 over their sweet life. Zhu Xiangling has been keeping a tight grip on her son's life, and is taking strict precautions against Zhu Yuchen's love affair. She believes that Tang Wei is young, not only can not take care of people, but also will delay Zhu Yuchen's studies and future.
In addition, Tang Wei fell off the list again, which made Zhu Xiangling object to this relationship. In her opinion, it is not easy for Zhu Yuchen to be admitted to the Chinese opera, and the good future should not be wasted because of puppy love.
As a result, Zhu Xiangling began to interfere with their relationship frequently, and even did not hesitate to obstruct their relationship in various ways. Her appearance completely changed the relationship between Zhu Yuchen and Tang Wei, making the originally sweet love full of pressure and bondage. 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 conflicts and injuries, Tang Wei made a difficult decision to break up with Zhu Yuchen and end this supposedly beautiful relationship.
Zhu Yuchen felt so painful about the breakup that he could not understand why his mother interfered so strongly in his private life and why he could not love and be loved freely like everyone else. However, no matter how dissatisfied and protesting he was, Zhu Xiangling stuck to her view that what she had done was for the good of Zhu Yuchen.
The failure of this relationship not only made Zhu Yuchen lose his lover, but also made him full of fear and uncertainty about his future love life.
Time passed quietly, and Zhu Yuchen's life opened a new chapter. In 2009, he had the privilege of working with Huo Siyan in a play, and the two fell in love before and after the camera. Huo Siyan, a cheerful and straightforward Beijing girl, conquered Zhu Yuchen with her unique charm. In the long-term cooperation, the two get to know each other, depend on each other, and finally come together.
Zhu Yuchen is well aware of his mother's control over his love life. in order to make the relationship develop smoothly, he decided to let his mother Zhu Xiangling meet Huo Siyan, hoping that the two can get along well. However, good intentions do bad things.
At the first meeting, Zhu Xiangling criticized Huo Siyan's dress and even put forward a series of stringent requirements on her. Zhu Xiangling's practice is undoubtedly a personal evaluation of Huo Siyan, which makes Huo Siyan feel very uncomfortable and Zhu Yuchen feels 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 an equal partner. This motherly love puts a lot of pressure on Huo Siyan, who finds it difficult to get the respect and freedom she deserves in this relationship. The relationship between the two became more and more tense under Zhu Xiangling's constant intervention.
Finally, in the face of Zhu Xiangling's constant nitpicking and interference, Huo Siyan felt that she could no longer stand it. She is clearly aware that if her relationship with Zhu Yuchen continues, she will never be able to get rid of the shadow of Zhu Xiangling.
For her own happiness and to avoid more contradictions 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 wonder why his love life was always so unsatisfactory. Why is he always unable to have a normal relationship under the intervention of his mother? Zhu Yuchen's heart is full of struggle and pain, but in the face of his mother, he is still unable to make effective resistance.
After the breakup with Huo Siyan, Zhu Yuchen's emotional world seems to have fallen into a short period of silence. But the roulette of fate rotates again, and the encounter between him and Jiang Yan is like a ray of warm sunshine, shining into his hazy heart.
Jiang Yan was not a famous actress at that time, but she had a pure and kind heart and a pair of skillful hands. She was good at cooking all kinds of delicious food. Zhu Yuchen was attracted by her sincerity and virtue, 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 new eyes. They shared delicious food and planned the future together. Zhu Yuchen even began to consider building a love nest with Jiang Yan and getting married. In Jiang Yan, Zhu Yuchen found peace and happiness that he had not seen for a long time. He thought that this time, he could resist the interference of the outside world and guard 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 harsh standards for her future daughter-in-law in other respects. She believes that Jiang Yan's family background and educational background are not worthy of her son, which once again puts Zhu Yuchen in a dilemma.
Zhu Yuchen tried to explain and defend himself to his mother, hoping that she could give Jiang Yan a fair chance to truly understand Jiang Yan's strengths and inner beauty.
But Zhu Xiangling's attitude was firm and unmoved, and her intervention once again became a stumbling block in Zhu Yuchen's love life. In the face of her mother's firm opposition, Jiang Yan felt unprecedented pressure and helplessness, and she began to doubt whether the future of the relationship could really be what she wanted.
With the passage of time, Zhu Xiangling's opposition and intervention intensified, and Jiang Yan's patience and courage were gradually worn away. In the end, the supposedly beautiful relationship came to an end in repeated disputes and unhappiness.
Zhu Yuchen experienced emotional failure again, and his heart was deeply hurt again. He began to reflect on whether he really could not get rid of his mother's influence and could not have a happy relationship of his own.
Zhu Yuchen's emotional road has been repeatedly frustrated, which makes him feel powerless and frustrated. But from the bottom of his heart, he has always been eager to get rid of the control of his mother Zhu Xiangling and strive for his own personal space and freedom. This desire reached its peak when he was in college. He believes that once he is far away from home and goes to study in Beijing, he will be able to gradually get rid of his mother's influence and start an independent life.
However, Zhu Yuchen soon found that his idea was too naive. On the day she checked in at the university, Zhu Xiangling personally accompanied him to the school, which made Zhu Yuchen feel both kind-hearted and a little lost. He thought he could take this opportunity to enjoy living alone, but his mother's love was with him.
In the process of helping him organize his dormitory, Zhu Xiangling's over-protection was once again revealed. She not only asked Zhu Yuchen to put down her work 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 creeps on the wall, Zhu Xiangling could not help but want to clean them up to ensure Zhu Yuchen's living environment.
This excessive care and protection made Zhu Yuchen's roommates feel curious and surprised, while Zhu Yuchen himself felt very embarrassed and bound. He is eager to complete all kinds of things in life independently like other classmates, but every "love" of his mother virtually deprives him of this opportunity.
Zhu Yuchen's independence and sense of self-worth have been greatly challenged in this environment.
Just when Zhu Yuchen thought that college life would bring him a new beginning and give him 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 get out of his mother's shadow. Zhu Yuchen's heart is full of contradictions and struggles. He is not only grateful for his mother's love and sacrifice, but also deeply eager to achieve true independence and freedom.
