Yesterday's Valentine's Day was another annual show of love.
But Zhang Yimou's family overturned.
His wife, Chen Ting, was even more violently abused by the Internet for one night.
The reason is that his wife Chen Ting wrote a "confession letter" to Zhang Yimou on Valentine's Day.
It was still at 4 a.m., after much deliberation.
The letter is very long and has three main meanings:
He has no big picture and no so-called sense of mission, and he does not support her husband Zhang Yimou as the general director of the opening and closing ceremonies, because of the pressure.
The second is to worry about her husband's body, in chen Ting's words:
"Zhang Yimou is consuming his life with an almost crazy work intensity and an extremely unhealthy lifestyle."
Considering the family and children, Chen Ting is very worried that 72-year-old Zhang Yimou will fall.
The second is the fear of creating gods and destroying gods. After the successful opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the media and reporters put Zhang Yimou on the altar, but this glory also made Zhang Yimou become magical.
After the confession letter was sent, it was read more than 20,000 times in an instant.
There are many people who understand Chen Ting's feelings.
But more than that, he accused Chen Ting of being sentimental:
Without the fame and fortune brought by Zhang Yimou's "self-harming" work, how could you marry him?
It is okay to call qu, find a media to build a shelf, than scolding the street on Weibo.
There are also people who believe that the Winter Olympics is a major event for the glory of the country, and everyone in the country is very concerned.
At this time, I think there is probably no one who is looking forward to the end of the conference like I do", even if Chen Ting is looking forward to the early end of the conference because of her distressed husband, but it really should not be sent out on the Internet.
In particular, "let's run away with the whole family", joking in private is fine, and it is not appropriate to put it on the public platform.
What's more, now that the Winter Olympics are not over, such a blog post full of complaints and grievances is really a disgrace.
Some people even compared Chen Ting and Gong Li, saying:
Chen Ting has no pattern, not as knowledgeable and enterprising as Gong Li, and will only be short in parents.
Also sarcastic: "Mrs. Zhang low-key, 18, 9 years old unmarried pregnancy is not an inspirational story."
Chen Ting did know Zhang Yimou, who was 31 years older than her, when she was 18 years old, and became pregnant for him before marriage.
But according to the timeline, this old story is not inspirational, but it is not dog blood.
It was 1981, and Zhang Yimou, 31, separated from his wife Xiao Hua, who was far away in Shaanxi, and went to the Beijing Film Academy as an auditor.
At the same time, an ordinary family in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, gave birth to a female doll, named Chen Ting.
At this time, Gong Li, who became Chen Ting's "enemy of life", had just turned 18 years old.
Six years later, the fates of the three women began to intersect around Zhang Yimou.
At that time, Zhang Yimou, who had transformed from actor to director, bought the copyright to the novel "Red Sorghum" and planned to make it into a movie.
Originally, the crew had already decided to play Shi Kejiu'er, but when Gong Li appeared, Zhang Yimou changed his mind.
In the following months of coexistence, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li, who were 15 years apart, sparked love.
But it didn't take long for Xiao Hua to know.
After some questioning, knowing that there was no hope of redemption, she had to grit her teeth and let go.
On the other hand, Gong Li, who learned of Zhang Yimou's divorce, said in an interview:
Lovers eventually become dependents.
In those years, the two were really affectionate.
One director and one starring role, the blockbuster filmed one after another.
Can be in the entertainment industry's big dye vat, day by day, the two inevitably have a grudge.
It was also because of a misunderstanding between Gong Li and Zhang Mo, the child left by his ex-wife.
After finally falling in love for 8 years, the two chose to break up.
Also because the news of Zhang Yimou and Gong Li spread all over the world, Chen Ting was curious to watch "Qiu Ju Fights a Lawsuit" directed by Zhang Yimou and starring Gong Li.
Since then, I have had a dream of being an actor in my heart, and I first took the Wuxi Dance Troupe and then the Beijing Film Academy.
In his sophomore year, Zhang Yimou planned to shoot "Happy Time" and went to the Beijing Film Academy to choose the heroine.
Chen Ting immediately registered and passed the preliminary examination.
However, Chen Ting, whose appearance was not prominent, was not selected.
However, not long after, Chen Ting still received a call from Zhang Yimou:
Although you have not been able to be the heroine, you can be the heroine of my life.
Chen Ting, who already admired Zhang Yimou, soon fell.
Not long after, Zhang Yimou, 50, said to 19-year-old Chen Ting:
Give me a baby.
Between love and the unknown, Chen Ting did not hesitate to choose the former.
She gave birth to her eldest son, Zhang Yinan, in 2001, her second son, Zhang Yiding, in 2004, and her youngest daughter, Zhang Yijiao, in 2006.
When Chen Ting's mother met her son-in-law, who was 11 years older than herself, she could only make a contract with Zhang Yi in three chapters:
Zhang Yimou is not allowed to hurt Chen Ting, and must marry Chen Ting in the future; do not disclose the relationship between the two to the public; Zhang Yimou has half of Chen Ting's property.
These three points can be understood, first, Chen Ting was still young at that time, and confidentiality was the best protection.
Second, to maintain perfection, zhang Yimou's career development is also good.
So it wasn't until 2011, because the eldest son, Zhang Yinan, was preparing to go to middle school and needed a hukou, that Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting officially received a marriage license.
It's just that because of the words first, Chen Ting, who gave birth to 3 children in a row, has become a nameless existence in the eyes of outsiders.
This also laid the groundwork for Zhang Yimou to be framed in 2013.
At that time, an actress named He Jun reported on Weibo under her real name that CPPCC member Zhang Yimou Chaosheng was born.
The media from all sides quickly ate melons, and also evolved into major news that Zhang Yimou was recognized by 7 children in blood.
However, no matter how loud the various rumors and gossip were at that time, Chen Ting didn't seem to care.
There was no explanation, no public name, but has been silently the woman behind Zhang Yimou.
It was not until after the Chaoshengmen incident was completely resolved that Chen Ting posted on Weibo as "Zhang Yimou's wife".
Blame the villain.
Weibo authentication is also directly written: Zhang Yimou's wife.
In short, no matter what, all kinds of things in that year, in the passage of time, have long become the talk of happiness between the two people.
Zhang Yimou's persistent pursuit of art for more than ten years has also made him worthy of the name of China's most famous director.
Therefore, even if the old things are mentioned again, I feel that Chen Ting is concerned about her husband in a bright way, and there is nothing wrong with it.
If Chen Ting does not stand up and emphasize Zhang Yimou's physical condition, many people may have forgotten:
Picking up the beams of the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2022 Winter Olympics was a 72-year-old man.
What's more, without the suffering of others, do not persuade others to be good.
Whether it is filming or the Olympic Games, Zhang Yimou, as the general director, naturally has to pay several times the dedication and sacrifice behind it.
And this year, in addition to directing the Winter Olympics, it has also launched many movies such as "On the Cliff", "Sniper", "Rock Solid" and so on.
The hardships behind it can be imagined.
Previously, the studio had posted the tidbits of Zhang Yimou's work, stayed up late to plan, and rehearsed in the rain.
Zhang Yimou also said in his autobiography:
In order not to waste time, always turn your watch half an hour faster.
Living in a faster time difference than others, forcing yourself to do more work.
In the eyes of many people, what he did was his job, and it was natural.
But from Chen Ting's point of view, he is a husband and a father.
Only Chen Ting would care, he was a 72-year-old man.
Working for more than ten hours a day, walking 5 kilometers, eating only one meal, he could not eat.
In addition, at the closing ceremony of the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, in the promotion of national culture, Zhang Yimou chose a combination of beautiful women + ethnic instruments.
As a result, because the beauty's qipao was too short, those 8 minutes became the darkest moment of Zhang Yimou's life.
In the Beijing Olympic Games, after a long time of hard rehearsal, countless soldiers shed blood and tears, and the result was that the large-scale shadow puppet play was withdrawn.
Dancer Liu Yan accidentally fell from a tall float and fell with a lifelong disability.
It also changed the trajectory of the lives of Yang Peiyi and Lin Miaoke.
Although everyone can understand, Zhang Yimou, as the general director, owes too much to these people.
So now in the Winter Olympics, Chen Ting wants to be a selfish person and does not want her husband to worry about it anymore.
It's just that she won't edit, string words, and won't choose when to make a sound.
But this is the human truth of a woman:
Everyone cares if you fly high enough, and only your family cares if you're tired or not.
Everyone cheers on your achievements and glory, and only your family knows your tears and pain.
Not only Zhang Yimou's family, think about how Yuan Long usually took root in the ground, and his wife Deng how to balance.
Xu Mengtao, who has just won the championship, rarely goes home for the New Year because of training, and her parents can only feel sorry for her on TV.
There is also a video of a post-95 sales guy getting drunk for signing a bill, crying loudly in the subway, and his wife holding him softly to comfort him.
Probably since ancient times, it is difficult to be loyal and filial, and it is difficult to balance family and career.
But behind the great people there are people who are silently giving, and those who cut meat and skin are still relatives who share weal and woe and make food.
People take it for granted, and they know it better than anyone else.
People say immortal heroes, and they are also more afraid of losing than anyone.
Fortunately, with these relatives behind them as support, the "Zhang Yimou" have eternal motivation to devote themselves to new challenges.
Therefore, please remember the suffering of the hero and understand the difficulties of the hero's family.
Don't be sad and guilty at the same time, and at the same time speak ill of each other.
Even if nothing is done, it can at least be understood and tolerated.
Let them serve the country and come back to hug their loved ones.
Let these families be healthier and happier.
In this way, it is the best feedback for the strivers in this era.
I also hope that after Zhang Yimou completes his task, he will accompany his family well, take care of his health, and be healthy and happy.
