In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window emits an alluring orange-red glow, slowly melting into the end of the sky. At this moment, the 65-year-old Zhang Yu leaned alone in front of the window, staring at this incomparably magnificent sunset scene, but it was difficult to hide the melancholy in his eyes. In the past, this superstar, who once dominated the film industry, was once dazzling and proud, making countless fans crazy. However, now, she can only spend the last days of her life alone, without the company of relatives and friends around her, and she can't help but feel endless emotions in her heart.
Looking back on the bits and pieces of the past, Zhang Yu deeply realized that his life was destined to leave endless regrets. At that time, in order to devote herself to the development of her career, she resolutely gave up the happiness of marriage, and in order to realize her personal value, she had to give up her greatest dream in the journey of life - to build a warm and harmonious family. Although she has made brilliant achievements in her career, she is left with a lonely and lonely life in her old age.
About 20 years ago, in 1980, Zhang Yu became famous with a shocking movie "Lushan Love" and became a household name film and television superstar. Her clear and bright eyes and sweet and charming smile became the "white moonlight" in the minds of many men at that time. However, who would have expected that it was this romantic love film that became the beginning of a turning point in Zhang Yu's life, making her finally miss the most precious family affection and love.
Zhang Yu closed her eyes gently, as if trying to travel through time and space and re-choose a completely different path in life. However, time flies by like flowing water, the years pass inexorably, and she can only face the reality helplessly. Looking at the gradually fading sunset, the corners of her eyes couldn't help but have faint tears, and her heart was full of endless regrets for the past and confusion about the future.
According to common sense, Zhang Yu should have become an outstanding swimmer and won honor for his country in international sporting events. Since elementary school, she has loved swimming freely in the pool. Her dream is to one day stand at the top of the podium and enjoy the applause and cheers of the audience.
However, fate often likes to play tricks on the world, and it always brings unexpected arrangements. Just as Zhang Yu was working hard to realize her dream, an unexpected opportunity completely changed the trajectory of her life.
At the age of 16, full of opportunities, Zhang Yu inadvertently encountered a major turning point in her life. At that time, the Shanghai Film Studio decided to re-emerge and began to openly select outstanding actors to the public. As an amateur art lover, Zhang Yu originally just followed his friends to the interview site to see the excitement. However, just as she was about to leave, a discerning teacher suddenly approached her and enthusiastically invited her to audition. Faced with this sudden opportunity, Zhang Yu's heart was full of hesitation and uneasiness, she never thought that she would embark on the path of being an actor. However, with the encouragement of her friends and the patient guidance of her teachers, she finally mustered up the courage to accept the challenge.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yu, who was originally just accompanying a friend, was fortunate to be a member of the interview team, and stood out among many competitors and successfully obtained the opportunity to be admitted. This is undoubtedly a precious job for her, like an "iron rice bowl". Zhang Yu, who has just entered the film and television industry, although she is just a little-known young actor, she has always maintained a diligent and studious attitude, and carefully figured out the inherent characteristics of each role. Coupled with her natural talent, she quickly won the favor and attention of directors.
After a period of hard work, Zhang Yu finally became famous in 1980 with a very romantic film "Lushan Love", and quickly became one of the most popular actresses at the time. Who would have thought that this seemingly accidental decision would completely change her fate!
"Lushan Love" is not only a milestone in Zhang Yu's acting career, but also a new starting point for her emotional life. During the filming of this film, Zhang Yu and the actor Guo Kaimin fell in love because of the play, and the tacit understanding between the two was like a real couple, so it caused widespread speculation and discussion in the outside world. However, in reality, the relationship between Zhang Yu and Guo Kaimin is limited to friendship, and there is no ambiguity or other entanglement. And it was through the introduction of this confidant and friend that Zhang Yu was able to get to know the most important other half of her life - Zhang Jianya.
At that time, Zhang Yu, who was already up-and-coming, often went to the home of the famous performing artist Jiao Huang and humbly asked him for professional knowledge. One day, Zhang Jianya happened to visit Jiao Huang's house and met Zhang Yu for the first time.
Zhang Jianya, who met for the first time, was immediately deeply attracted by Zhang Yu's bright and moving appearance and extraordinary temperament, and did not hesitate to take the initiative to talk and start an in-depth conversation.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Jianya was just an unknown person at that time, and his status was far from being comparable to Zhang Yu. In order to get closer to the goddess in her heart, Zhang Jianya can only use studying as an excuse to find an opportunity to get close to and understand this hot female star.
As time went on, the two communicated more frequently and their relationship became more intimate. Zhang Jianya has a deep understanding of Zhang Yu's inner charm.
Just when Zhang Yu's acting career was in full swing, Zhang Jianya finally mustered up the courage and solemnly expressed his deep friendship to his favorite person Zhang Yu. What is amazing is that Zhang Yu, who is at the peak of her career, has already secretly had feelings for this talented man, and she accepted Zhang Jianya's love confession without hesitation, so the two lovers entered the palace of marriage hand in hand.
After marriage, Zhang Jianya's career is thriving with his outstanding talent, and he has quickly risen to become a well-known cutting-edge director. With his excellent works such as "Red Elephant", he has successfully ranked among the top directors in China.
At that time, Zhang Yu and Zhang Jianya were the most high-quality "talented and beautiful" combination in the entertainment industry, and they attracted the attention and envy of all walks of life.
However, it is a pity that the sweet marriage of this golden boy and girl did not come to an end after all, and their married life was doomed to a fate.
Soon after marriage, Zhang Yu and Zhang Jianya's careers reached their peak, and they can be said to go hand in hand and have a bright future. However, it is this extreme dedication to their career that has become an obstacle to their relationship as husband and wife.
In order to achieve higher achievements and pursue her professional ideals, Zhang Yu is eager to go to the United States for further study and further improve her artistic quality. However, Zhang Jianya hopes that his wife can stay in China and work together with him.
As a result, the couple fell into fierce quarrels and contradictions, and both sides held their own opinions, and the atmosphere was extremely tense for a while.
Zhang Yu replied firmly: "Jianya, I know your intentions very well. However, I had to go to the United States, which was a great opportunity for me to take my art to the next level.
I sincerely hope that you will understand and support my decision.
Due to the huge differences and debates on this issue, the final winner was Zhang Yu's firm determination! With incomparable enthusiasm and dedication to her career, she resolutely chose to embark on the journey to the United States alone and temporarily bid farewell to her husband Zhang Jianya.
This undoubtedly brought a heavy blow to their married life, losing the warm time of husband and wife in the past, and making the distance between each other more and more distant. As the saying goes, "Time can bring everything and take it away." With the passage of time, the relationship between Zhang Jianya and Zhang Yu gradually became indifferent.
Initially, they tried to maintain a close bond in order to preserve the relationship. However, with the vigorous development of both careers and the increasing pressure of real life, the frequency of communication between them gradually decreased, and eventually evolved into a state of strangeness.
Recalling her married life, Zhang Yu was full of emotion: "Our marriage was like an empty shell, and the home of the two seemed to have become a hotel. ”
Despite this, Zhang Yu has never wavered in his determination to go to the United States. Her love and pursuit of her career has reached the extreme. So in 1991, after careful consideration, Zhang Jianya and Zhang Yu finally made the decision to officially divorce, ending this marriage that was destined to come to an end.
It is worth mentioning that their married life did not give birth to children, so there is no need to worry.
Since then, Zhang Yu and Zhang Jianya have devoted themselves to their own careers and started a new chapter in their lives.
