Recently, Chen Chong sent a text to mourn his deceased mother, and many people learned that the well-known movie star Chen Chong was from a medical family. Her mother was the well-known pharmacologist Zhang Anzhong, a leading figure in the field of medicine, and a professor at the School of Medicine of Fudan University.
Chen Chong sent a long article to mourn his mother, and he was very sorry that he could not accompany his mother through the last days. Chen Chong said his brother told his mother that she would not be able to wait for her to meet after three weeks of quarantine. In the last week, the mother suffered from illness, and the brother barely slept, and accompanied the mother to suffer.
This is also the place that makes Chen Chong regret the most, because at this moment, she is powerless on the other side of the ocean. She was devastated at the thought that her mother might be waiting for her daughter thousands of miles away, "How can a man come out of such a regret?" "This is the heartache of a daughter when she loses her mother, and it is also the pain in the hearts of many wanderers who cannot accompany their loved ones."
In fact, in the last year of his mother's life, Chen Chong returned to the motherland many times to accompany his beloved mother in his hometown of Shanghai. In February 2021, Chen Chong's mother was diagnosed with lymphoma, and chen chong rushed to Shanghai in the evening of Chinese New Year's Eve and did not leave until the end of May. After his mother was re-admitted to the hospital in September, Chen Chong flew back to Shanghai in early October.
Unfortunately, just 3 weeks after Chen Chong left Shanghai, his mother's condition suddenly became serious, and she could not even wait to see her daughter for the last time. From Chen Chong's post, it can be seen that her relationship with her mother is extremely deep. Since his mother gradually lost his memory 8 years ago, Chen Chong always took the time to fly back to Shanghai, and could not return in 2020 due to the epidemic.
Chen Chong has mentioned his mother many times on social platforms, sometimes recalling the funny things that happened between him and his mother when he was a child, and sometimes sharing his mother's concern for himself. From correspondence to email, it can be seen that Chen Chong's mother is very trendy. The mother, who is worried about her daughter's life, will remind her not to burst the oil into her eyes, and will also talk to her daughter about the love story with Chen Chong's father in the email.
Chen Chong once posted a photo of her mother when she was young, and everyone knew that her appearance value was inherited from her mother, and her mother was once a great beauty. Although he is a medical expert, his appearance is not inferior to that of an actor. Chen Chong revealed that he has admired his mother since he was a child, and he is beautiful and learned.
From the wedding photos of Chen Chong's mother and father, it can be seen that it is really a talented woman. The mother, with her short hair combed and white wedding dress, looked very attractive against the background of flowers. The father in a black suit, the corners of his mouth are raised, the whole person is intoxicated with joy, and he can feel the longing and yearning for married life.
Her mother in the wedding dress is very beautiful, and she is still difficult to hide her beauty in ordinary clothes. In the photo of Chen Chong with his father, mother and grandmother, you can feel the happiness and harmony of the family. At this time, Chen Chong's eyebrows and his mother were already somewhat similar, and it could be seen that he was also high-value when he grew up.
Seeing the photo of his mother holding Chen Chong, Chen Chong's gaze followed the direction of his mother's fingers, his round face appeared childish, his facial features were very similar to his mother, and the looks of both mother and daughter were somewhat similar, and their eyes were very clear and radiant with wisdom. This should mean that if there is a mother, there must be a daughter.
Chen Chong once posted that the photos when she was young were printed and dyed by her father himself, she recalled taking a shower on the balcony with her mother when she was a child, and when she used a water pipe to help her mother wash her hair and body, she would silently lament her beauty, in fact, Chen Chong's appearance did not lose her mother at all.
Chen Chong's mother's excellence is not only beautiful in appearance, but also a well-known talented girl. His mother, Zhang Anzhong, was born into a family of high-ranking intellectuals and was the eldest daughter of the famous pharmacologist Zhang Changshao. In 2009, the Chinese Pharmacological Society commended the pharmacologists who had made outstanding contributions to Chinese medicine, including Zhang Anzhong's name.
Chen Chong's father, Chen Xingrong, was also outstanding, serving as the president of Huashan Hospital, and Dr. Zhang Wenhong, who is famous throughout the country, is the director of the infectious disease department of Huashan Hospital.
In 2014, Chen Chong returned to his father's hometown, the legendary Songshui Chen family compound. The Chen family has aroused people's keen attention because it has cultivated many well-known experts and scholars at home and abroad. Chen Chong's ancestor Chen Chaoyu built the Chen family compound, and by the time Chen Chong's great-grandfather Chen Kaizong began, "emphasizing education and rejuvenating the family" became the Chen family style.
According to statistics, in the Chen family, 54.4% of them have a college degree or above. In addition to Chen Chong's parents, Chen Chong's great grandfather (grandfather's brother) Chen Wengui is an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and his grandfather Chen Wenjing is an expert in abdominal surgery in the United States and has obtained a doctorate in medicine. The Chen family is a family of medicine, and the Chen family compound is a rare local famous courtyard with a history of about 160 years.
Chen Chong's grandfather Zhang Changshao is a famous pharmacologist, his grandmother Shi Yifan is a well-known sociologist, and Chen Chong is definitely a famous queen.
His elder brother Chen Chuan did not inherit the family business and became a painter, studying under Meng Guang and Chen Yifei. His brother held a solo exhibition in Shanghai at the age of 22 and is now one of the leading Chinese painters in the United States.
From Chen Chong's family lineage, it can be seen that her entry into the show business circle is indeed unexpected. At that time, an assistant director of the Shanghai Film Studio saw a photo of Chen Chong through her aunt's friend and said that this little guy was very good. The 15-year-old Chen Chong entered the show business circle and filmed his first film , "Youth".
After that, she chose to enter the Shanghai Overseas Chinese College (now Shanghai Wai), majoring in English and American literature. In the second year of admission to the university, Chen Chong filmed the movie "Little Flower", cooperated with Liu Xiaoqing and Tang Guoqiang, who were 9 years older than himself, and became a hundred flowers at the age of 18, and became a "small flower" recognized by the people of the whole country for a time, and also the first generation of "traffic small flower".
There is a simple side to Chen Chong's personality, which is not unrelated to her growth environment. After winning the Hundred Flowers Shadow, in order to get rid of the confusion of fame, she chose to study in the United States alone. Life is far less glamorous than in China, although there is a scholarship, still have to work to maintain their own life, everyone can not imagine that the film queen will brush dishes in the restaurant.
She said she went to school because she wanted to make herself more solid, because sudden fame made her panic. After arriving in the United States, she considered changing careers, "whether to enter law school", and also studied some biology classes, "whether to change to medical practice in the future". After a period of wandering, she found that movies were still her hobby.
Fortunately, Chen Chong persevered and chose to study filmmaking at California State University. Her decision set the course of her career. She remembers her first audition in the United States, taking a 1.5 hour ride for an advertisement and giving up because of timidity. The experience also gave her the courage to face setbacks.
She once lost a very important opportunity, but because of the recommendation of the assistant director, she became the actress Wanrong in "The Last Emperor". She and Zun Long became the first Chinese film stars to stand on the Oscar podium, she missed the best actress because of the difference of 2 votes, and then became a lifetime judge at the Oscar.
Chen Chong, who is the supreme in love, once said that he gave himself a positive force by studying and working when he lost love, and everyone felt that her brilliant era was an unhappy era.
Soon after arriving in the United States, Chen Chong met her first husband, Liu Qing. At the time, everyone thought these two people were inappropriate. Liu Qing's control over her made her feel breathless for a while, and the two chose to divorce after 4 years.
After 3 years of divorce, Chen Chong met her current husband, peter, a well-known cardiologist. Chen Chong once said that the first time he saw Peter, he had the feeling of being white-headed and old. In 1992, Chen Chong and Peter married. Chen Chong had a miscarriage after marriage, and only gave birth to his eldest daughter Xu Wenting at the age of 37 and his youngest daughter Xu Wentan at the age of 41.
After becoming a mother, Chen Chong gave all his love to his 2 daughters, and when he was pregnant with his youngest daughter, he was preparing to shoot Yan Geling's "Fuso", and immediately stopped all work. Chen Chong gave up being a director for the sake of his family, hoping to have more time to take care of his two children.
Chen Chong's efforts were not in vain, the two daughters are excellent, the eldest daughter graduated from Harvard, and the younger daughter inherited her mother's career. In May 2020, Chen Chong posted that angela, 21, received the school's highest honor, Summa Laude, and the George B. Sohier Prize, the highest award for the English department's graduation thesis. This is an honor that only the top 5 percent of Harvard's students have.
The youngest daughter became an actress. Chen Chong once revealed in the show that her daughter went to audition, and said that in the eyes of every mother, it seems that the child can be president, and it can be seen how proud she is. In "Manslaughter", Chen Chong and his daughter played a rival role. With a daughter who inherits his own ambitions, Chen Chong must be very happy.
The 60-year-old Chen Chong has already made achievements in the show business circle that are envied by most people, and he has a husband who loves him and two smart and clever daughters, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a winner in life.
