At about 23:00 last night (December 19), Wang Lihong posted a long article on his personal Weibo in response to the divorce storm. Earlier, his ex-wife Li Lianglei accused Wang Lihong of cheating during marriage, cold violence against him, and chaos in his private life.
Previously reported: Wang Lihong responded!
At noon today, Wang Lihong posted again, saying that he would "no longer make any explanations and justifications," "prepare to temporarily withdraw from work," and "apologize to everyone again." ”
The full text is as follows:
Thinking left and right, men should still take all the responsibility. I no longer make any explanations and justifications, I did not run a good marriage, brought trouble to my family, and did not give the public the image that an idol should have, all of which are my fault. Here, solemn apologies to Mom and Dad lianglei children. Now that you are divorced, it is pointless to argue about the past. From now on, I will pay attention to my words and deeds, will take on the responsibility of a father, son and public figure, take care of Lianglei and the children as much as possible in financial life, and I am ready to temporarily quit work and set aside time to spend time with my parents and children to make up for the damage caused by this storm. Lianglei, we still have to take care of the three children together, and the house you live in will be transferred to your name. I will also be involved in and bear the cost of the child's upbringing. This matter must have been mainly handled by me. Apologies again.
China Women's Daily re-evaluates the Wang Lihong incident:
Full-time housewives failed to get the love and happiness they had hoped for
Recently, Wang Lihong announced his divorce, and his ex-wife Li Lianglei posted a long article on Weibo, accusing Wang Lihong of various misdeeds in marriage, which aroused concern and heated discussion.
While focusing on the virtues of celebrities, the discussion of netizens this time also pointed to some thought-provoking public issues: the "desperate" situation of full-time housewives. With the improvement of women's education level and labor force participation rate, the gender division of labor of "male and female" has become history, but the stereotype of "taking care of the family is a matter for women" is not so easy to reverse. And under the packaging of "starlight", being the housewife behind him has even become a kind of "happiness myth". In such a marriage relationship, the wife has no shortage of giving up her career in exchange for a happy family, and finally ends up with a dream: childcare and family care become a one-man show for the wife, and her efforts and sacrifices are taken for granted, and even fall into control and harm. Under some kind of praise and whitewash, the full-time housewife loses the opportunity for self-realization and does not get the love and happiness that she originally hoped for.
Choosing not to choose to be a full-time wife is a personal will, but women's participation in the workplace and retaining the competitiveness of the workplace is still the most secure choice. Individuals choose to give up the workplace, where the economic and ideological independence comes from after retiring from the family, whether independent housework care can be fully respected, whether women who are disadvantaged in economic and social resources can obtain physical and mental safety and equal status, whether they can get due protection when they are injured, and whether they can have the opportunity to return to the workplace after career interruption, will depend on the continuous improvement of the relevant security system and the progress of the entire gender civilization.
The family is an important field for promoting gender equality. Whether it is a star or an ordinary person, emotional marriage should never be a stale hotbed in the name of "love" that breeds backward gender concepts. Today, when gender equality has become a consensus, we need a clear social environment, a healthy and advanced gender concept that is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, externalized in practice, and more importantly, on the road of women's pursuit of all-round development and self-realization, to give them more help, support and respect.
