On April 2, Chen Ting released the news and announced the good news to everyone.
Her second son was admitted to Yale University.
After announcing her relationship with Zhang Yimou, Chen Ting was finally able to show her life, her child's life, and her child's birthday in front of the public.
Her current life is enough to make many people envious, her sons have a good development, her daughter is also talented, has a husband Who loves her, Zhang Yimou, and has a good economic strength.
However, a long time ago, Chen Ting's life was not so happy.
At the age of 18, Chen Ting and Zhang Yimou walked together, and not long after giving birth to a son, Chen Ting also took a break from school and became a housewife.
But at that time, Chen Ting and Zhang Yimou were not married, and Chen Ting also accepted such a life, and in the state of no marriage, she loved Zhang Yimou and also loved her son.
After living like this for a few years, Chen Ting gave birth to a second son and a young daughter.
However, except for the extra children, Chen Ting's life was unchanged, and she failed to marry Zhang Yimou.
Become Zhang Yimou's "wife" who does not see the light underground.
In the life without fame, Chen Ting still takes care of her family, takes care of the elderly, and Zhang Mo, the daughter born to Zhang Yimou and his ex-wife.
She gave up her dream to make herself a qualified wife.
At that time, no one knew about Chen Ting's existence, and no one would envy Chen Ting's nameless life.
The two did not marry until 2011, but the marriage was not announced.
Later, because of the Chaosheng incident, Chen Ting's identity was only seen by people, and she could be envied by people as The identity of Zhang Yimou's wife.
But behind this envy, it is not Chen Ting's patience and dedication.
After all, the love of marrying a famous director, in which the love is cold and warm and self-aware.
In 1981, Chen Ting was born in a shantytown in Wuxi, where the poorest people lived in Wuxi.
Parents work hard to make the family worry-free, although not rich and expensive, but for the education of their daughters, it is not sloppy at all.
They knew that Chen Ting liked to dance, so they let her go to the Children's Palace to study.
Later, even if the parents were laid off, they did not delay the education of their children.
However, her parents took out a lot of money to educate Chen Ting, but Chen Ting was very sorry in her heart.
So after graduating from junior high school, she went out of the house and became a dancer, reducing the burden on the family.
However, the daily work made Chen Ting a little tired, she pursued a better life, thinking about it, she chose to apply for Nortel and study acting.
In the university days, Chen Ting studied step by step until her sophomore year, when something happened that changed her destiny.
One day, Zhang Yimou recruited actors for the movie "Happy Time", and Chen Ting was also a movie theater person, naturally knowing Zhang Yimou's fame and admiring Zhang Yimou's talent even more.
She didn't think about it, so she went to the audition, and everything went well, but it failed in one round.
She walked back to school in frustration, but what she didn't know was that her appearance and voice, as well as her back, were deeply imprinted in Zhang Yimou's mind.
Not long after this, Zhang Yimou contacted Chen Ting and wanted to ask her to dinner. Seeing that it was an invitation issued by the big director, Chen Ting was happy and surprised in her heart, and quickly agreed to it.
Knowing that she had arrived at the agreed place, Chen Ting panicked, she didn't know what Zhang Yimou was doing when she came out, she could only sit uneasily in a chair and wait for Zhang Yimou to speak.
However, as soon as Zhang Yimou opened his mouth, he made Chen Ting open his mouth.
Zhang Yimou made a very dry confession and wanted to walk with her and spend the rest of his life together.
In the face of unexpected development, Chen Ting was stunned for a long time, and it took a few minutes for her to come back to her senses. "Aren't you in love with Gong Li?"
"Divided"
"Oh", Chen Ting responded quickly, not knowing what to say.
Zhang Yimou looked at her expression and knew that Chen Ting's heart was now up and down, so he asked her to go back and think about it.
After going back, Chen Ting has been thinking about this matter in her heart, she wants to refuse, but can not find a reason, although the difference between the two is 31 years old, but the love is not affected by the age.
In addition, she admired and admired Zhang Yimou very much, because of his people, his talents.
After comforting herself, Chen Ting figured it out, and the two of them walked together.
After being together, Chen Ting enjoyed the great youth ushered in as a young girl, while enjoying the love with her boyfriend, but she did not expect that she would become a mother one day.
In 2000, Chen Ting was surprised to find out that she was pregnant.
She hurriedly told her boyfriend about the matter, zhang Yimou did not panic too much after listening, and even a little happy, after all, if Chen Ting really gave birth to a child, it would also be considered a succession.
However, he did not say this directly, but gave Chen Ting two choices.
Beat up the child and keep going to school.
Give birth to a child, give up schooling, but then it will certainly be a hundred times better for her.
This multiple choice question did not make Chen Ting dwell for long, she chose to give birth to a child and become a mother at the age of the flower season.
However, having a child is such a big thing, Chen Ting still decided to let the family know.
Chen Ting took Zhang Yimou home to see her parents, saying that this was her boyfriend and was pregnant with a child.
One fact after another made the family stunned, and the parents looked at Zhang Yimou's age and themselves were about the same age, and for a while they didn't know what to say.
But when they saw their daughter's sincere eyes, they finally lost.
"Okay, okay, but you must be good to Tingting and give her a name," his parents told Zhang Yimou before leaving.
Chen Ting's parents agreed, but Zhang Yimou's parents' side became a big problem.
As early as when he went to the countryside to join the team, Zhang Yimou met the woman Xiao Hua, and the two went from falling in love to getting married and having children, going with the flow, but later Zhang Yimou fell in love with Gong Li, and Xiao Hua could only endure the pain and divorce him.
Her parents knew this matter very well, always felt indebted to Xiao Hua, and even divorced, and regarded her as the daughter-in-law of the family.
Therefore, for the arrival of Chen Ting, the parents resolutely did not recognize their love.
Seeing that Zhang Yimou's parents did not agree, Chen Ting wanted to break up with him.
But she was reluctant to Zhang Yimou, reluctant to have the child in her belly.
She wanted to give birth to the baby.
Watching Chen Ting's belly grow larger day by day, Zhang Yimou also began to plan for the two to get married.
But at this moment, Zhang Yimou and his ex-wife's daughter Zhang Mo ran out and said that Gong Li's intervention caused her mother to be forced to divorce.
For a time, Zhang Yimou was pushed to the cusp of the storm, he did not know how to respond, he did not know whether to get married now, he wanted to postpone for a while.
Chen Ting saw his discomfort and took the initiative to bring up this matter, "We can not get married first and live like this."
Zhang Yimou did not expect Chen Ting to be so understanding, but only felt very emotional, and the old tears flowed.
Immediately agreed to Chen Ting's suggestion.
So, from that day on, the two lived a marriage routine without a marriage license.
In 2001, the eldest son was born, Zhang Yimou rarely lived at home because of her work, and Chen Ting could only seamlessly become a mother.
Watching the child cry, Chen Ting always came forward at the first time, picked up the child and coaxed and coaxed.
Sometimes even just want to rest, immediately heard her son's crying, she can only hold on to her consciousness, let herself go to see his son's condition.
In such a day-to-day life, Chen Ting is no longer the original young girl Chen Ting, but has become a mother, becoming a wife without legal significance.
Then, in 2004 and 2006, Chen Ting gave birth to children, the youngest son and daughter.
Zhang Yimou looked at the children at home, and his heart was very happy, but he was still busy with work, and in the end, the lives of the three children were handed over to Chen Ting.
Chen Ting looked at the family that was crying and crying constantly, and her heart would also be a little wronged.
Knowing that she was a friend with the famous director, Haosheng envied Mrs. Fu's life, but only Chen Ting herself knew the bitterness.
Although there is no shortage of money, she can't see anyone all day long, and she has to take care of her children, and even she can't show her love and love, so she is tired.
But the things she needs to worry about are not only children, but also undesirable mother-in-law, Xiao Hua's daughter who lacks love, Zhang Mo.
For a while, Zhang Yimou took his parents to his family and wanted to fulfill his filial piety.
It's just that Zhang Yimou is always a busy person, and the task of filial piety is also given to Chen Ting's body.
After living together, Chen Ting didn't think too much, and she didn't care if she had a dispute with Zhang Yimou, she just wanted to take care of her mother-in-law as much as possible.
But the mother-in-law did not appreciate it at the beginning, always picking and choosing Chen Ting, not educating children, not cooking, and not doing housework.
In the eyes of her mother-in-law, Chen Ting always couldn't catch up with Zhang Yimou's ex-wife, Xiao Hua.
Chen Ting looked at her mother-in-law's dissatisfied expression, shattered the endless grievances into her stomach and swallowed, she could only look at the points where her mother-in-law was not pleasing, and corrected them little by little.
After a long time, the mother-in-law looked at Chen Ting and did not return her mouth but was practical and capable, and she also had different emotions in her heart, and she felt that she could slowly accept Chen Ting.
And Chen Ting also noticed the change of her mother-in-law, the smile on her face was more and more, and sometimes she would sit down to chat with her mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law looked at Chen Ting's young face, there were more traces of years, and she couldn't help but sigh.
When we first met, we were still young people who were not deeply involved in the world, carefree every day, and in the blink of an eye, I became a mother and became the pillar of the family.
She remembered Chen Ting's difficulties over the years, and the love that did not see the light, and finally in Chen Ting's gentle gaze, she saw her as a daughter-in-law, although she did not officially pass the door, but in her heart she recognized her.
The relationship between the mother-in-law and Chen Ting is getting better and better, but she also thinks of Xiao Hua's daughter, Zhang Mo, who has lacked her father's love since childhood.
I want the two to get to know each other.
Chen Ting nodded in agreement, she only had zhang Mo's life, and from her mother's point of view, she had great pity for her.
But Zhang Mo didn't want to do this either, she hated Gong Li, who was involved in feelings, and also hated Chen Ting, who was with her father Zhang Yimou.
Chen Ting knew Zhang Mo's heart knot, so she asked Zhang Yimou to take some time to accompany her, although for a short time, it could also make Zhang Mo extremely happy.
And Chen Ting also found every opportunity to have a good relationship with Zhang Mo.
Just like this, Zhang Mo also found that Chen Ting had no malice in her heart, and slowly accepted her kind care.
In the days of taking care of the children and establishing a good relationship with her mother-in-law and Zhang Mo, Chen Ting did not know that several years had passed.
Day after day, she did everything that a wife should do, just so that Zhang Yimou could relax after returning home.
And just after she got used to this busy life, life gave her a big surprise.
In 2011, Zhang Yimou put forward a sentence that Chen Ting had been thinking about but did not dare to think extravagantly, "Let's get the certificate."
Finally, at the end of 2011, Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting were officially married, and Chen Ting looked at the small red book in her palm and tears flowed out.
It's just that although they are together, Chen Ting still hasn't shown love on social platforms.
Until 2013, Zhang Yimou was exposed to the supernatural thing, Chen Ting bravely stood up, and Zhang Yimou accepted the pointing of netizens.
It was also this incident that made Chen Ting open social media, and she also changed her certification to Zhang Yimou's wife.
A few simple words, but she has been longing for.
After this, Chen Ting can finally be in front of the public, sending daily photos with children, forwarding Zhang Yimou's related posts, being proud of Zhang Yimou as a wife, she will also attend various occasions with Zhang Yimou, she is introduced by people as "Zhang Yimou's wife", not only is she not angry, but also happy about this identity.
However, as a director, Zhang Yimou still has countless jobs and cannot stay at home for a long time.
But Chen Ting finally has a "cathartic" place, she always updates her life related, most of which contains photos of children, as well as a small number of photos of Zhang Yimou, photos of the New Year together, photos of celebrating the festival.
And she also received people's blessings in the comments, and gained the envious eyes of others.
She posted a photo of herself repairing Zhang Yimou's hair, no filters, no beauty, and even no face fully displayed.
But it can give people a glimpse of a corner of happiness, plain but real.
Watching her eldest son grow up day by day and become a man, Chen Ting will also sigh thousands of times, and the eldest son has slowly embarked on the same path as Zhang Yimou.
He and his classmates shot micro-films, and won many awards at the Shanghai Student Film Festival, best film, best director, best music, when the eldest son was not yet 18 years old.
Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting watched their son achieve such results, and their hearts were also infinitely proud.
And what makes Chen Ting proud is not only the eldest son, she accompanies the younger son and daughter to spend the birthday year after year, watching the younger daughter grow up on the back of her brother.
I also saw that the second son was a bit tall and was admitted to Yale in 2022.
I also saw my little daughter grow up, practicing ballet, and dancing confidently on the stage.
Nowadays, everything about Chen Ting makes people envious.
She has a lover, three excellent children, a good life, and can use her leisure time to improve herself and learn to dance and practice yoga.
But behind all this happiness is Chen Ting's silent efforts.
He and Zhang Yimou lived in a blind love for nearly 10 years, and did not get married until 2011. Such a payment is not something that ordinary people can tolerate occasionally.
Of course, the love life of Chen Ting and Zhang Yimou, some people are envious, some people are not willing for Chen Ting, and some people do not think so, thinking that the two have no love.
But the sour, sweet and bitter, to this day, presumably Chen Ting knows better than anyone, cold and warm self-knowledge, happiness is good.
