When it comes to romance movies, which movie is the first thing you think of?
I believe that many people, like Uncle Chai, think of the first thing they think of is "Titanic".
Back then, this film was one of the most popular movies. Shortly after its release, it quickly set off a wave of "Titans" around the world, winning 1.8 billion US dollars in box office, and getting a sluggish award.
Some people see human nature in it, some people see fulfillment, some people see freedom, and I see the incomplete regret of not being able to love.
When the ship was about to sink, Ruth gave up the opportunity to escape and returned to the ship to face unknown fate with Jack ; Jack kept guarding Ruth until the last moment of his life.
The story of Ruth and Jack falling in love and unable to stay together made countless people cry, and some even read it dozens of times just to reminisce about this touching love.
But movies are fictional after all, and does such a determined love really exist in reality?
In fact, many people don’t know that the story of Celine Dion , the singer of the theme song of "Titanic", is even more heart-wrenching than the film.
"Love is the feeling when I love you. I firmly grasp that real moment. In my life, love is endless..."
Standing on the stage, she is the queen of the music scene that is so popular all over the world; back in life, she is the wife who never leaves her husband.
In this era of high divorce rates, Celine Dion used his life to interpret what " My Heart is Eternal ".
10
One day in 1980, record producer Renie Angeli , patted his chest and said to Celine Dion's family:
"If you believe me, I promise that within 5 years, your daughter will become a big star in Quebec and even France."
This year, Celine was only 12 years old and Renee 38 years old.
At that time, one was a young girl singer with extremely talented and fledgling, and the other was the most famous record producer in Canada.
The two people who were originally unable to get along in life had a fateful intersection because they had to negotiate and communicate about record cooperation.
On the day we first met, Rennie stood in the dim office wearing brown clothes and chestnut shoes, and she looked a little melancholy.
He handed a large fountain pen to Celine and asked softly, "Can you sing a song? Just treat this as a microphone."
Celine stood in front of the office door nervously, put the pen at her mouth and started singing.
"In the big garden where flowers are blooming, I suddenly heard the harp and violin singing..."
's pure and pure singing deeply touched Rennie. He was so excited that his eyes were filled with tears, he decisively signed the contract and became Celine's agent, which affected her entire life.
In his career, he was like a "teacher": planning for Celine how to develop, urging her to constantly learn and break through bottlenecks, using her connections, and tailor-made songs for Celine....
In life, he was like a "father": in order to release a record for Celine, he mortgaged his real estate. What moved Celine the most was that whenever she was stage frightened and nervous, Rennie would encourage her:
"Go and let them see, you are the best."
"Celine, I'm waiting for you to make me proud, I believe you can do it."
their efforts were not in vain. At the 1982 Tokyo Yamaha World Singing Competition, Celine won the championship.
Immediately afterwards, Celine successfully created the European market with a French song, becoming the first Canadian artist to win the golden record honor in a foreign country...
In such a day and night together, their relationship also changed subtly.
Celine fell in love with Rennie deeply.
However, like the love that many young people were ignorant, this love did not go so smoothly. Because Rennie is 26 years older than her, she has been married twice and has three children.
Not only did the mother firmly express her opposition, but even Rennie began to deliberately hide from Celine and no longer be as close as before.
The opposition of relatives and Rennie's escape were like a chasm standing in front of the two, but Celine did not retreat because of this.
She found Rennie and cried and said, "Renie Angeli, I know you love me. If you don't love me, I hope you can say to me, 'Celine, I don't love you', otherwise I will never believe you."
Rennie was silent, neither admitting nor denying.
But it is this ambiguous attitude that gives Celine the courage to pursue love bravely.
She decided to do her best to fight for her love, even if she is enemies of the whole world.
When her mother got angry at her again, she shouted loudly:
"I am an adult. We are in a free country. No one has the right to stop me from loving someone I want to love!"
"You don't understand that I love him, I really love him, I love him all my life."
Her persistent eyes and firm attitude deeply touched her mother, and she got her mother's understanding and support for the first time.
And when Rennie went to the United States to avoid her, Celine quietly began to change her actions - correcting her teeth, spending two months learning English, changing her hairstyle and behavior...
She wants Rennie to know that she has grown up and is a mature woman who can accompany her for the rest of her life.
When Rennie comes back, Celine's changes really make him unable to calmly control his feelings.
"He stepped on the threshold and looked at me without saying a word. I saw his body tremble. For the first time, I felt that he was looking at me with a man's desire for a woman."
Finally, when Celine was 20 years old, she won the first prize of the annual European Singing Competition held in Dublin , and completely won Renney's heart.
However, this hard-earned relationship has not been revealed as the two people's wishes are determined.
For the development of Celine's career, Rainy chose to hide it for 6 years.
No matter how angry Celine is, even when he has a heart attack in Los Angeles and Celine wants to turn off all activities and performances to accompany him, Rennie said firmly to her:
"Celine, you have to keep moving forward. No matter what happens, even if I am gone, you have to keep moving forward."
"If I die, if you wash your hands when you are at the peak of your life, it is equivalent to letting me die twice."
Celine was very moved. She understood Rennie's intentions and had to agree with "underground love".
In the past 6 years, Celine's career has been rising steadily with the guidance and help of Renee.
not only released its own three solo albums, but also won the "Best Album of the Year" and "Best Female Singer of the Year" awarded by Juno Awards.
also sang the theme song of "Beauty and the Beast" with singer Paipo Breeson and won several awards.
For a while, the limelight was in full swing.
But no matter how successful her career is, Celine always feels that:
Love is the main theme of her songs and the main theme of her life. Rennie is the source of her power.
On December 17, 1994, Celine finally held her wedding with Rainey at the Church of Our Lady of Montreal as she wished.
This wedding is so grand and even ostentatious to outsiders.
But only Celine herself knows that from meeting at the age of 12 to falling in love at the age of 20, and then to this day, she has been walking for too long.
When the organ sounded, Celine walked towards Renney step by step.
At that moment, she deeply understood: From now on, no one can separate them. She will be with the man in front of her forever and will be with her forever.
Although many people were not optimistic about this "old and young love" at that time, they kept asking questions and insulting them. But they have proved with practical actions how great the power of love is.
After marriage, Celine's career continued to rise and develop with the help of her husband.
In 1997, she won numerous awards for the theme song "My Heart is Eternal" of "Titanic", becoming one of the top singers in the world's pop music scene.
money, honor, status... These things that ordinary people dare not think of have become within their reach for Celine.
For the first time she felt that maybe life has many other things besides performances.
She began to want to return to her family and agreed with Renee that since 2000, they would suspend such busy and stressful work, play golf, repair the house, and enjoy the world of two.
However, before the holiday arrived, a sudden disaster completely disrupted their lives.
One morning in 1999, Rennie seemed worried early in the morning.
He found that there was a lump under his right ear, which was very hard, but he could not feel any pain at all.
The bad premonition permeated the couple's hearts. They kept praying, and the expectation was just a false alarm.
However, this time, fate did not let them go - after the doctor's diagnosis and examination, it was confirmed that Renee had throat cancer. The moment
knew the result, Renny suddenly collapsed.
This man who seems to be planning and confident in everything on weekdays has become a fragile and helpless boy, sitting on the bed and crying.
Celine was also afraid of being sad, but she knew that at this moment, she was the only person who could give Rennie strength.
She told herself over and over again: "The man I love needs me, I can't collapse, I want to be strong, I am his strength, and his backer for health and recovery."
Just when many people speculated that she would abandon Renee, Celine once again attracted people's attention.
She decisively canceled all performances, activities, interviews, and recordings, and focused on accompanying her lover and facing the challenges of the disease with him.
At the same time, she made a bold decision: to give birth to Rennie.
Family members reminded her: "You are very likely to become a single mother. Have you considered the difficulty of raising children alone?"
However, Celine was determined to give birth to a love crystallization that belonged to them, and no one could stop it.
After several months of painful treatment, the doctor in charge of doing the test tube for them told them: "Two people who love each other, congratulations! You are pregnant, Celine."
Celine and Rennie hugged each other tightly, tears filled their eyes.
"Celine, when I am not alive, this child will be by your side to protect you, give you happiness, and make you think of me."
"No, he will protect us and bring happiness to us, I firmly believe in this."
that period was the most exhausted life that Celine lived regardless of her image.
She takes care of her husband while taking care of her husband and keeps cheering him up.
Finally, after 38 rounds of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, good news came again - Rayney's cancer cells have been completely eliminated and he has recovered his health.
At this moment, Celine finally couldn't help crying.
She choked and said, "It turns out that God really favors us."
In 2010, 42-year-old Celine became pregnant through artificial insemination and gave birth to twin sons Eddie and Nelson.
I thought life would be smooth and worry-free from now on. Unexpectedly, just 4 years later, 72-year-old Rainy relapsed and couldn't afford to get sick.
Seeing Rennie lying on the hospital bed and unable to eat, Celine felt like a knife was cut.
She knew that this time, her husband might really not be able to survive.
When it was late at night, she asked, "Are you scared? I can understand, tell me."
Renie held her hand and kept crying: "I want to die in your arms. ”
On January 15, 2016, 73-year-old Rennie closed her eyes in Celine's arms.
According to Rennie's last wish, his body bid farewell ceremony was chosen to be at the Our Lady of Montreal, Canada where they had been married.
Celine endured her grief and appeared at the scene with three young children.
26 years old, she married him with longing here; at the age of 48, she sent him for the last journey here, and from then on, we will meet forever, and we will part with heaven and man.
She stared at her "sleeping" husband for a long time, and put the deep purple calla lily symbolizing "happiness and purity" into the coffin with her own hands.
"I love you, I love you for the rest of my life. "
The moment she was on the cover of the coffin, Celine, dressed in black, bent down and kissed the coffin, tears fell like rain.
At the end of "Titanic", Jack, who was trembling with cold, held Ruth's hand hard and said his "last words":
"I have another wish...you must agree, live...you can't despair, no matter what...what is...no matter how difficult it is, promise me quickly, Ruth...promise me, I will do it..."
Ruth cried and said, "I will do it, Jack...will do it..."
"Love you was only a moment, but I don't know that it has become eternal in the torrent of time. ”
Shortly after Rennie passed away, someone asked Celine: “Do you still have plans to remarry? ”
She waved her hand: “I love him very much, I feel that I am still his wife. "
From the first meeting at the age of 12, fell in love at the age of 20, to the marriage hall at the age of 26, to the 48-year-old separation.
Celine has endured too much by herself.
But Celine, like Ruth, did not recover because of her lover's departure. Instead, she walked bravely and optimistically with her lover's blessings and expectations.
When she performed her 1000th performance at the Caesar Palace Hotel, she said affectionately: "My dear husband is with us tonight, I'm very sure. ”
Although many people are becoming more and more independent now, they are even full of pessimism and doubts about love.
But the story of Celine Dion makes us believe in love again, bringing us a lot of touch and inspiration.
Perhaps, the most beautiful love in this world is you Although I left, my heart is eternal.
And the truly unforgettable love has nothing to do with national boundaries, age, nor ordinary or wealth.
It will span time and become a person's armor. In the rest of my life, a person will live in thousands of troops.
Just like what I sing in "My Heart Eternal":
"No matter you are close or far away in the sky, I believe that my heart is eternal.
You are by my side, so I am fearless, I know that my heart is eternal. ”
