Wang Xiaofei and Mandy Ma Xiaomei are set to have their wedding on May 17, marking a new chapter in their lives. On the eve of the wedding, Zhang Lan donned a festive red dress on the 16th to express her blessings and encouragement to her son and future daughter-in-law through the camera. She recounted three stories, not only reflecting on the trials and tribulations she and her son have experienced together but also wishing the newlyweds to face the future hand in hand.
Zhang Lan emotionally stated: “Son, the path we have walked together as mother and son over the years has been more dramatic than any script.” She described Wang Xiaofei's journey in the business world as akin to a tree constantly pruned by destiny, enduring trials by fire and water yet still striving to grow: “I wish I could shield you from the blades and swords of the world, but I forgot that my fledgling eagle is growing wings to soar in the sky.”
Speaking of her soon-to-be daughter-in-law, Ma Xiaomei, Zhang Lan praised her for maintaining her belief in love despite the ‘shocking waves’ of destiny: “It's difficult for you because you love him, so you have been drawn into the turbulent storms time and again.” She also poetically offered three 'shields' as blessings: the 'Soft Water Shield' from the Dao De Jing, the 'Bright Mirror Shield' from Yangming's philosophy, and the 'Kapok Shield' as a symbol of family spirit, representing resilience, wisdom, and roots.
Finally, Zhang Lan emphatically highlighted that this wedding is not only the beginning of a marriage but also “the starting point of our family's phoenix rebirth,” hoping the couple from now on will become “life-and-death partners on life's battlefield,” trusting each other and protecting one another throughout their lives.
