"Any parting without saying goodbye is a long-planned relief"
In the film and television circle, many actors have left this world at a prosperous age, such as Liu Dan, the "most beautiful concubine" in "Huan Zhu Gege", "Fang Yu" Li Yu in "Love Deep rain", and Chen Xiaoxu, "Lin Sister" in "Dream of the Red Chamber".
They crossed the sky of film and television dramas like shooting stars, leaving unforgettable characters and works, but regrettably left this world when they were most popular, which was really lamentable and regrettable.
I don't know if you remember the popular "Foreign Sister" in the 90s, with the dreams and hopes of young people, which caused a huge response once it was broadcast.
Perhaps you know the heroine Chen Xiaoyi because of this, but the one that impressed me the most was Li Ting, who played "Ah Fang".
Unfortunately, at the same time that she began to emerge in the film and television circle with "Foreign Sister", she finally failed to withstand the torture of cancer, and died at the age of 43 after fighting cancer alone for nine years.
Here is a small love letter from the movie, today taking everyone into Li Ting's tortuous life. This former North Film School Flower, who chose to get married at the peak of his career, and suddenly decided to divorce, what kind of hidden feelings are behind the fight against cancer alone?
01
North Shadow "Three School Flowers"
The sophomore year officially entered the industry
Born in 1968 in Changsha, Hunan Province, Li Ting is a typical "hot girl", who has been very lively and outgoing since she was a child, and likes to communicate and communicate with people.
It is precisely because of her personality that Li Ting has served as a program host of Changsha Television Station since middle school, and it can be said that she has formed an indissoluble relationship with literature and art early.
However, Li Ting, who has a lively and cheerful personality, always feels that she does not particularly like the host industry, and the reason is probably that she believes that the host needs more stability and intellectuality, and she is completely unable to accept this sense of constraint.
As a result, Li Ting began to find another way, she thought that she might become an actor and be more able to release her "nature", so she began to have a wave of interest in acting.
Finally, in 1988, Li Ting was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy with her outstanding ability, she had a very bookish temperament, and with a faint melancholy color, and the "Princess of the Beijing Circle" Xu Qing, the "Mrs. of the Beijing Circle" Jiang Wenli, were known as the "Three School Flowers" of the Beijing Film Academy at that time.
However, although Li Ting's outstanding appearance has attracted much attention among the new students, everyone's attention to her is too one-sided, and they just think that Li Ting is a beauty.
This made Li Ting very distressed, afraid that everyone would think that they were just an empty "embroidered pillow".
In order not to let everyone position themselves in the "vase", Li Ting worked harder and harder in school, and carefully pondered and studied all the roles. At that time, Li Ting thought:
"You have to be consistent in your appearance, you have to have both good looks and excellent acting skills."
Fortunately, all the efforts were not in vain, in the sophomore year, Li Ting finally shined, because in the college drama "Smoked Oak Tree", an old lady with a lame leg was played well and evocatively, and she was favored by director Xie Jin on the spot, and was able to participate in the film "Bells of Qingliang Temple" directed by Xie Jin.
For Li Ting, this is a rare opportunity, as the first drama in her life, she is so fierce that she wants to be recognized by everyone.
In order to play a good role in "The Bells of Qingliang Temple", Li Ting lived in the cold winter and was blown by the wind for a long time, until her young face was red.
It is precisely with this seriousness for acting that after the release of the film, Li Ting was favored by the director who was casting for "Foreign Sister" at the time, which gave her the opportunity to star in this play that made everyone familiar with her.
Maybe Li Ting is the kind of person who god appreciates food, not only looks good, has high talent, but is also willing to work hard, and some people may not be red for a lifetime.
However, Li Ting became famous in one fell swoop with her remarkable acting skills in "Foreign Sister", knocking on the door of her acting career and successfully entering the public's field of vision.
So a year after the broadcast of "Foreign Sister", in 1992, after graduating from the acting department of the Beijing Film Academy, Li Ting was assigned to the Shanghai Film Studio and officially began her acting career.
Li Ting's films and televisions after graduation span a variety of themes, including spy movies, such as "Black Flower Killer", and also martial arts TV series "White Brow Hero".
In 1996, Li Ting was nominated for the 16th China Tv Drama Feitian Awards for her wonderful performance in the police drama "Western Police" and the criminal investigation anti-corruption drama "Heroes Without Regrets".
Subsequently, Li Ting successively participated in a number of TV dramas with legal and criminal investigation themes: "No Wind Tonight", "The Law Is Not Merciful", "Winter Solstice", "Six Groups of Serious Cases 2", "The Great River Goes East", etc. Among the audience friends who like to watch criminal investigation dramas, she is an old face.
02
From school uniforms to wedding dresses
The divorce ended
The cause is proud, and Li Ting's love is also enviable. At the peak of her career, she married her classmate Zhang Zijian.
When it comes to the name "Zhang Zijian", everyone may not be very familiar with it, but "Li Yuanfang" in "Detective Di Renjie" must be a household name, which is also one of Zhang Zijian's most famous characters.
The two are not only classmates, but also good partners in their careers, the 1994 martial arts TV series "White Eyebrow Hero", which they jointly participated in, and then cooperated again in the love crime drama "Winter Solstice".
Li Ting and Zhang Zijian quickly fell in love and entered the palace of marriage, the emotional life was very sweet, and had a lovely daughter, a family of three happy and happy.
I thought that life would continue to be happy like this, but fate often loves to tease people.
In 2005, Li Ting took the initiative to file a divorce with her husband Zhang Zijian, and Zhang Zijian, who had just returned from filming in other places, was confused, did not know what was wrong with their marriage, and tried to persuade Li Ting not to divorce.
But Li Ting's heart was already decided, and her attitude was very resolute, and she, who had always been gentle and considerate, even took out a kitchen knife and cried to him:
"Don't you ask, are you trying to kill me?"
In desperation, Zhang Zijian finally agreed to the divorce, and what is even more puzzling is that Li Ting does not want anything after the divorce:
"The child is with you, the house, the car and the money are all owned by you, and I am out of the house!"
Zhang Zijian was very surprised and wanted to continue to ask questions, but only got a cold answer from Li Ting:
"Don't ask any more, I just don't want to live with you!"
Zhang Zijian was deeply shocked, for a long time he was depressed, colleagues were very anxious for him, so they brokered for him and introduced him to a rich woman, Fang Yun, who had been divorced twice, but this did not stop their love.
In 2007, Zhang Zijian and Fang Yun got married. When Zhang Zijian remarried, many people did not understand, and even felt that he was famous and abandoned his wife, accusing him of being a contemporary "Chen Shimei".
But Li Ting's parents spoke for him: "Don't scold him, he is a good man and did what he should do." "
Li Ting has completely broken off contact with Zhang Zijian since her divorce and has not remarried.
03
Fight cancer alone for many years
When he died, he had only friends by his side
On August 13, 2012, Li Ting died at the age of 43 due to ineffective long-term medical treatment.
Accompanying her on the last journey was Wang Qian, a friend who was working with her on "Six Groups of Serious Cases 2", who received a critical notice from the hospital and rushed to the hospital.
Until this time, everyone knew that Li Ting had been fighting breast cancer for eight or nine years, and chose to hide her condition in order not to worry her parents.
Li Ting's parents and friends did not know about Li Ting's cancer, and everyone did not know until Li Ting went to the funeral site after Li Ting's death that she had been alone for so many years.
When he first proposed a divorce to his ex-husband Zhang Zijian, it was also because he learned that he had cancer and did not want to drag down his beloved, so he endured the pain of filing for divorce.
At the funeral site, Li Ting's family, relatives and friends all came to mourn. Everyone recalled the bits and pieces they had spent with Li Ting, and they were all heartbroken.
Liu Xiaoqing, Jiang Wenli, Tong Dawei, Jiang Kun, Feng Yuanzheng and others all sent wreaths to express their sorrow, and her classmate Xu Qing, who had been in Beiying, recalled her old classmates at the funeral site, and it was difficult to hide her sad emotions, and she burst into tears for a while.
Ex-husband Zhang Zijian also rushed to the scene with his daughter from abroad, and he regretted it when he learned the truth:
"At that time, I was also too busy at work, did not pay attention to her emotions in time, did not have a good understanding of the reason why she wanted to divorce me, just blindly felt that she really did not like me ..."
But at this point, it can only be a sigh.
Infuriatingly, just a few months after Li Ting's death, her brother was revealed to be fighting with Li Ting's daughter, his niece, for an inheritance.
As soon as this news came out, Li Ting's brother was instantly on the cusp of public opinion, and was criticized by netizens.
Before the bones of his sister were cold, his brother had the idea of the inheritance of his underage niece, and he also said that he only kept it for the little girl temporarily, and she would return it when she became an adult. 、
Such behavior makes people feel chilly, and they can't help but lament that family affection is "worthless" in the face of interests.

Hunan "hot girls" are also emotional
Creation of "It's Good to Be Alive"
Looking back on Li Ting's short life, she was a very strong woman, and perhaps it was because she was too strong that she suffered silently for so many years alone.
At the same time, she is also a very delicate woman, she likes to deal with words, like to express the feelings of the heart in words. She has written two screenplays: "It's Good to Be Alive" and "Goodbye Sunshine."
"It's Good to Be Alive" was later filmed by Guan Hu into a 20-episode TV series.
It tells the story of three women in a family, because of the inheritance of family diseases, people recently suffered from breast cancer in middle age, showing the audience the struggle and struggle of these three women in the face of diseases.
When writing "It's Good to Be Alive", Li Ting had just undergone a big operation, and Li Ting, who escaped from death, had a different feeling about life itself, which made her write a script about people and diseases.
In order to write this script, she interviewed more than 50 patients with breast cancer and really went inside their hearts.
Li Ting's personality is very emotional, but at the same time she is very strong, even after experiencing the torment of illness, this authentic Hunan hot girl is still permeated with a "hot girl" smell inside and out.
05
Write at the end
Now that the past has gone with the wind, the Slovaks have gone, and only the light and shadow she left behind are still shining.
She is the snobbish and spicy girl Ah Fang in "Foreign Sister",
The twin sisters Lu Xiaoying and Lu Xiaoqian, who have diametrically opposed personalities in "The Man with white eyebrows",
It is the dignified and elegant Shu Yue in "Hero No Regrets",
It is Su Ting, who is self-respecting and self-loving in "The Great River Goes East",
Yu Sihua, who has a strong personality in "Blood Thicker Than Water",
It is also the deep Cao Siqi in "Benefits and Costs"...
Life is like a reverse journey, you and I are pedestrians.
Time is a gentle hand hidden in the darkness, and in your trance, things move from star to star. Li Ting, who withered before she could bloom, we sighed for it, in the decades of the coming world, she experienced too many ups and downs.
Dong Qing once said in readers:
"There are six words in life, the first three are 'not afraid', and the next three are 'no regrets'"
Perhaps we do not understand the idea of Li Ting fighting cancer alone, and we feel sorry that she died early, but for Li Ting or the lack of regret in her heart, it is her relief.
Crying to ourselves and laughing to others, this is probably the philosophy of life that Li Ting left us.
In her acting career, every character with a very different personality has been given a vivid life by her, taking the audience through different lives, and the audience will always remember her name and works, which is probably the best comfort for her...
Finally, I wish her that if there is an afterlife, there will be no more sickness, no more barbaric growth, no more wandering.
