Dai Ailian is now little known, but she is a famous Chinese dance artist, one of the pioneers and founders of contemporary dance art, and the honorary president of the Chinese Dancers Association. Dai Ailian is known as the "Mother of Chinese Dance", and has served as the first director of the National Dance Troupe, the first president of the National Dance Association, and the first principal of the Beijing Dance School.
In her career, Dai Ailian is successful, but in terms of love marriage, few people think that she is successful, she divorced twice, has no children, and the last person is old. But these are the opinions of others, whether she is happy or not, only she herself knows.
Dai Ailian is an overseas Chinese, born in the West Indies, her ancestral home is Xinhui County, Guangdong Province. In 1939, when Dai Ailian was studying in England, she modeled the sculptor Willie Sukopp as a character model, and in just two weeks, she fell in love with Willie, which was her first love.
Unfortunately, she and Willie are inseparable, Willie is already engaged to a banker's daughter Simon, and Elleine dai quickly left England, so the relationship ended without a problem.
In early 1940, Dai Ailian met the painter Ye Qianyu in Hong Kong. Ye Qianyu is good-looking, dashing, divorced once, and has a pair of children.
Although the dancer Dai Ailian and the painter Ye Qianyu did not speak the language, they fell in love, and after knowing each other for half a month, they began to fall in love, and it did not take long for them to get married and go to Yan'an together.
Dai Ailian and Ye Qianyu's life is very happy, and it can be said that the husband sings with the wife. On weekdays, when Dai Ailian performs, Ye Qianyu acts as her "assistant", solving everything for her such as clothing, food, translating Chinese, and miscellaneous work, even playing gongs and drums on the side of the stage as a band member. In 1946, when Ye Qianyu visited the United States, Dai Ailian in turn became his "assistant", serving as a translator, foreign liaison officer and exhibition receptionist for him.
(Note, Dai Ailian's Chinese is not good, and Ye Qianyu's English is not good.) ）
Dai Ailian will not give birth, she is very good to the daughter born to Ye Qianyu's ex-wife, and she takes good care of her life, and she buys what she likes, especially beautiful clothes. In the summer, Ming was afraid of the heat, and Dai Ailian still fanned Mingming at night.
As a stepdaughter, she is generally hostile to her stepmother, and Ming is no exception, but Dai Ailian treats Mingming too well, better than her biological mother, so She is obviously touched by Dai Ailian, and she treats Dai Ailian as her biological mother.
Dai Ailian simply regards MingMing as her own daughter, and wants her to inherit her dance career, she not only cares about Mingming in life, but also cultivates Mingming in dance and sends Mingming to dance school.
Ye Qianyu and Dai Ailian and Mingming, this family of three is very happy, as long as there is any activity outside, Ye Qianyu and Dai Ailian will definitely bring Mingming, never let Mingming feel that his father remarried, he will be left out in the cold. Ming Ming's home in Ye Qianyu and Dai Ailian is not superfluous, but indispensable.
As a stepmother, Dai Ailian is a competent, but as a wife, she is unfaithful. She was not loyal to her husband, only to her love.
In 1949, Ye Qianyu participated in an ethnic delegation to Xinjiang. When he returned to Beijing, Dai Ailian suddenly filed for divorce from Ye Qianyu because she was in love with someone else, this other person was Dai Ailian's dance partner Ding Ning when rehearsing "Peace Dove", And Ding Ning was many years younger than Dai Ailian.
Ye Qianyu was very sad and tearfully divorced Dai Ailian, which was 1951. Dai Ailian and Ye Qianyu were married for only ten years, from 1940 to 1950.
Years later, when Dai Ailian talked about her divorce from Ye Qianyu, she still regretted it.
Dai Ailian and her young colleague Ding Ning's marriage did not go old, and later divorced, it is said that Ding Ning kidnapped Dai Ailian's money and ran away.
Ye Qianyu married the actress Wang Renmei under the mediation of friends, although the two people were not harmonious, the marriage lasted for 30 years. After Wang Renmei's death, Ye Qianyu's daughter Mingming wanted Ye Qianyu and Dai Ailian to remarry, but Dai Ailian refused.
In 1979, Dai Ailian and willy, their first love of forty years, were reunited, and later when Willie's wife died, Dai Ailian came to take care of Willie's life until Willie died. In February 2006, Dai Ailian died in Beijing at the age of 90.
Such as fish drinking water, cold and warm self-knowledge, Dai Ailian's marriage is happy or unhappy, only she herself knows. Artists are too romantic and always pursue love, so the marriage is unstable. Dai Ailian is a good stepmother, but not a good wife.
