Mei Ting, debuted at the age of 19 and became popular at the age of 22, is one of the eight golden flowers in the 96th class of Chinese opera.
Some say she is a woman shrouded in an aura of luck.
With her excellent acting skills, Mei Ting has created many impressive classic roles so far.
For example, Qiu Qiu, who has a tragic fate in "Red Lovers", Mei Xiangnan, who is trapped in domestic violence in "Don't Talk to Strangers", Anjie, a capitalist in "Parental Love", and Li Ping, who pursues romance and freedom in "How Far Is Happiness".
When he was a student at the age of 22, he played against the popular star Zhang Guorong, met the teachings of his predecessors, and was given glasses, which made Zhang Ziyi, who was not yet an "international chapter" at that time, envious.
For her first film, Mei Ting won the Best Actress Award at the 22nd Cairo Film Festival, the Best Actress Award at the 5th China Film Huabiao Awards, and she has also won many well-known awards since then.
However, she chose to marry Yan Po, who had nothing at the time, when she became popular. In this relationship, Mei Ting gave all her efforts, but in the end, she ended in a dismal divorce.
The career is smooth, but the emotional road is bumpy, and Mei Ting's first half of life is lamentable.
01
Mei Ting was born in 1975 to a family of four in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province.
Dad was a military doctor, Mom was an ordinary financial officer, and there was an older brother who was many years older than her.
Mei Ting's original family conditions are very general, and when she was a child, she could only sleep in a room with her brother.
Probably with her mother's genes, Mei Ting has grown beautiful and cute since she was a child, and a pair of flashing big eyes are even more attractive.
At the age of 5, the Children's Hospital wanted to erect a sculpture and place it at the entrance of the hospital, and the good-looking Mei Ting was selected for many years.
Little Mei Ting is not only good-looking, but also has her own ideas.
At the age of 7, Mei Ting, who loved dancing since she was a child, quarreled about wanting to go to the Little Red Flower Art Troupe.
The Little Red Flower Art Troupe, just like the children's art academy in Beijing, is not only the most famous art training base in Nanjing, but also has a very well-known reputation in the country, and it is also a frequent visitor to the Spring Festival Gala.
Mei Ting's parents felt that she would definitely not be able to pass the exam without formally learning to dance.
However, although the dance is not outstanding, because of Mei Ting's outstanding appearance, the judges and teachers were impressed, and she successfully entered the Little Red Flower Art Troupe and officially entered the art industry with a song of "Little Swan Dance" learned in kindergarten.
Five years of boarding life in the Little Red Book Art Troupe has made Mei Ting's personality independent and strong. After practicing the basic skills, she also won many awards during her school years, and with her dance expertise, she was admitted to Nanjing No. 1 Middle School.
Nanjing No. 1 Middle School, a national demonstration high school, was founded during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty and is the golden sign of Nanjing. Being able to enter such a good school makes Mei Ting's parents feel proud.
13-year-old Mei Ting, who came out more beautifully, and her experience in practicing dance made her excellent posture, and she was concerned and admired by many boys inside and outside the school.
At that time, the school management was very strict, watching Mei Ting receive love letters one after another, for a long time, the teacher had to talk to the parents.
At a young and ignorant age, Mei Ting's parents worried that such an environment would make their daughter lost, so they always wanted to give Mei Ting a different environment to study, but they couldn't find a better school than this.
2 years later, a rare opportunity came. The front-line song and dance troupe of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts came to the school to recruit people, and Mei Ting's father felt that it was most reassuring to put his daughter in the army, and wanted to encourage his daughter to take the exam, but he was reluctant to leave home at such a young age and hesitated.
Mei Ting, who is independent and has her own ideas, has made her own decision, and under the influence of her father, Mei Ting has always had good expectations for the army and has always had the idea of becoming a soldier.
At the age of 14, with her professional dance skills, she was successfully admitted to the song and dance troupe, and once again left home to start a life outside.
After graduating from the song and dance troupe, Mei Ting was successfully assigned to the front-line song and dance troupe of the Nanjing Military Region, and because of her good skills and outstanding looks, she soon became the lead dancer.
Seeing that her daughter's future was stable and brilliant, the second elder relaxed his heart this time, but at this time, Mei Ting began to be confused.
02
Mei Ting was lucky, when she was confused, a noble person appeared, this person was the director Ye Daying.
Ye Daying, one of the "Four Big Men of the Beijing Circle", has a strong background.
In 1994, he went to Nanjing to select actors and starred in the heroine of his TV series "Bloody Children's Heart", and Mei Ting, who looked very recognizable, was caught in the eye.
Mei Ting, who was confused about the road ahead, also needed new opportunities at this time, and did not hesitate to agree to the shooting request.
19-year-old Mei Ting and 18-year-old Lu Yi partnered, took a plane to Russia, the cold weather of more than forty degrees below zero, insufficient heating equipment, Mei Ting did not feel bitter, only felt that "filming is really fun."
This TV series starring Mei Ting and Lu Yi caused a warm response as soon as it was broadcast, and Mei Ting also won the best actress of the 6th Beijing Film and Television Chunyan Awards for the role of Chu Chu.
When she returned to the song and dance troupe again, the film was continuous, but the discipline in the troupe did not agree to her going out, and as a soldier, she could only obey.
Mei Ting, who was gradually tired of dancing, made a bold decision to enter the Beijing Film Academy.
However, because Mei Ting's cultural class foundation was not good, and the group did not give a certificate, she lost touch with the Beijing Film Academy.
At this time, Mei Ting was already a cadre at the right level in the song and dance troupe, but because of her love for acting, after two years of dormancy, Mei Ting decided to retire and apply for the Central Academy of Drama.
The bold Mei Ting finally won the bet this time, this year, she successfully entered the Chinese opera, and Zhang Ziyi, Yuan Quan, Liu Ye, Qin Hao, Zeng Li, Qin Hailu, Hu Jing and so on became classmates.
As we all know, the 96 star classes of Chinese opera where talents gather, one by one, are good-looking, and most of them have become the mainstay of China's performing arts industry.
And Mei Ting, is the first person to go out to shoot a movie, because her bottom card is too good.
Zeng Li once said, "At that time, I thought she was so beautiful, her eyes were big, and her skin was so white..."
Since her sophomore year, Mei Ting has received an invitation from Ye Daying's "Red Lover". What made Mei Ting most moved was that the male protagonist was Zhang Guorong, even if the school teacher did not approve the leave, she still went out to shoot.
With "Red Lover", Mei Ting, a sophomore, won the Best Actress Award at the 22nd Cairo Film Festival and the Best Actress Award at the 5th China Film Huabiao Awards.
However, when she returned to school, because Mei Ting did not abide by the school discipline many times, she was told to quit school and left the Chinese opera early, and the college dream ended.
When she learned of being dropped out of school, Mei Ting's parents scolded her angrily, but they were powerless to return to heaven.
But this did not stop Mei Ting's progress in her acting career, because she had Ye Daying, a nobleman.
In 2001, Mei Ting starred as Mei Xiangnan, the heroine of "Don't Talk to Strangers", which is a childhood shadow and synonymous with domestic violence for many post-80s and post-90s generations.
With a super understanding of acting skills, with this drama, she won the 2nd TV Art Double Top Ten Actors and ranked among the domestic frontlines, that is, in this year, she met her love.
At a friend gathering, Mei Ting and Yan quite met.
At that time, Yan Po was a French student, handsome and very good at coaxing people.
Mei Ting was deeply attracted to Yan Po the first time she met yan po, and the two also went to France to play together, and after returning to China, they established a relationship.
After less than a year together, Mei Ting and Yan Po entered the marriage hall.
At the wedding, Mei Ting was happy from the bottom of her heart, but most people did not look favorably on this relationship.
One is a popular actress who is red and purple, and a "poor boy" with no money and no name.
One has starred in many well-known film and television dramas, and one position is just an ordinary art editor. The two have a big gap in their careers.
After marriage, in order to support Yan Po's dream of directing, Mei Ting gave everything she had, invested in his films, and starred herself.
In 2005, Yan Po directed his debut film "Aspirin".
Although there was no fire after the film was released, Yan Po used this drama to make his name appear on the list of the sixth generation of directors.
Then the husband and wife worked together to create "Glass Marriage", starring Mei Ting, Yan Po relied on this work, and his career gradually improved.
However, at this time, the feelings of the two began to crack. After becoming famous, Yan Po no longer took good care of Mei Ting as he did at the beginning, and more and more peach-colored scandals were exposed.
Probably because his wife funded him in the first place, Yan Po was never able to straighten his waist in front of Mei Ting, but instead had the right to speak in others. But the specific reasons, I am afraid that only the parties are the most clear.
In 2007, Mei Ting officially divorced Yan Po, ending the scarred five-year marriage.
For a time, public opinion was flying all over the place. The reason is that at this time, Yan Po, who became famous and Li Xiaoran, the heroine of "Yin Dan Shilin" he directed, had a scandal.
This incident also caused a major injury case that caused a sensation in Beijing.
In an underground garage in 2010, Yan Po was brutally slashed by four bandits. He was covered in blood, almost lost an arm, and even his ankle tendons were broken.
After the police investigation afterwards, these four people were friends of Li Xiaoran's ambiguous lover Sun Donghai at that time, only to vent for Sun Donghai, and later the four also paid a price for their actions.
Some people broke the news that the divorce of Mei Ting and his wife was because of Li Xiaoran's intervention.
In this regard, the generous Mei Ting stood up to clarify, suggesting that Li Xiaoran was only together after their divorce, and at the end of the response, she also advertised Li Xiaoran's new drama.
Mei Ting said that the separation of the two people was only because of the personality incompatibility. There was no tit-for-tat confrontation after the breakup, just a "We're long gone, but we're still good friends." ”
A failed relationship did not make Mei Ting vulnerable, but reflected her atmosphere and generosity.
After a year of divorce and silence, Mei Ting devoted herself to acting again, ushering in her peak film and television drama - "Parental Love".
There are many period dramas that have been on fire in recent years, but they are not as high as this "Parental Love", which has a super high rating of 9.5 points, although after many years, it is still turned out by many people from time to time to see it.
It is also with this drama that Mei Ting successfully established her unshakable position in the show business circle.

After the end of the last relationship, Mei Ting's relationship experienced a long empty window period, filling the gap through non-stop acting.
Just when Mei Ting wanted to give up and get married again, she finally met the right man in her life, Zeng Jian.
Since the ancient talent with a beautiful person, and ex-husband Yan is quite similar, Zeng Jian is also a quite talented man.
In 2014, when starring in the movie "Tuina", Mei Ting repeatedly contacted the photographer Zeng Jian. Although his popularity is not high, the level of photography is the top in China.
The two people who had a good feeling for each other were soon together. But this time, although Mei Ting was moved, she was much more rational.
The previous relationship decision was too hasty, did not understand each other in depth, led to the end of the failure later, so this time, Mei Ting seriously considered for a long time.
Finally, under the unremitting efforts of Zeng Jian, after a year of love, Mei Ting and Zeng Jian got married in a low-key Hong Kong.
Zeng Jian's parents are ordinary people, his parents are working in the power plant, and when they learned that their son was going to marry a big star, they were a little worried.
Out of consideration for the gap between the two, after the great-mother saw the daughter-in-law, she reassured herself. Mei Ting and her great-mother shared their stories.
He said that he also came from an ordinary family, and when he was a child, the conditions at home were not good, and he and his brother were crammed into a room.
Seeing that this star daughter-in-law has no shelf at all, but is very simple and sincere, both parents are very satisfied with this marriage.
In the second year of marriage, 38-year-old Mei Ting became pregnant, and as an elderly mother, the risk of childbirth is very large. Coupled with long-term insomnia, Mei Ting's mental pressure is huge, but she still chose to give birth for the sake of the baby's health.
As a result, during childbirth, Mei Ting appeared amniotic fluid flowing back, almost died, after the emergency rescue of medical staff, only to be able to mother and daughter safety.
Seeing that his wife had paid so much, she almost died. Zeng Jian was greatly touched, and after Mei Ting gave birth, he almost did not let her cook, and he could afford the baby's food, clothing, and housing in an all-round way.
During the day, the mother-in-law took care of it, and at night, Zeng Jian was responsible for the baby's milk sleep, changing diapers and other things, and even a bowl was not brushed by Mei Ting.
In such a happy family atmosphere, in 2015, Mei Ting gave birth to a second child, Yang Yang.
Today, Mei Ting has brought her parents to live with her husband, mother-in-law and two children. Some people ask, although so many people live together, although it is lively, but what should we do if there is a contradiction?
Mei Ting said that her mother-in-law encouraged herself to do this, she is a very assertive person, not only good for herself, but also very respectful and caring for Mei Ting's parents.
Mei Ting, who is now middle-aged, exudes the charm of a mature woman, has both children and daughters, and is carefully cared for by her husband.
In front of the right person, you can not touch the spring water of the sun with ten fingers, you can be your true self, just like the sentence says: "My life is very good, right." ”
