When it comes to Chinese models, the public's mind usually thinks of the eldest cousin Liu Wen, Xi Mengyao or He Sui.
But before them, there was another one, named Ma Yanli, who was called China's first supermodel.
However, on her smooth modeling path, love is not like that.
In 2001, she met the director Lang Kun, the two fell in love and married, gave birth to a baby, everything is very loving.
However, in 2006, the photo of Lang Kun holding hands with a strange woman was exploded, and after the golden eyes of netizens, it was determined that the identity of the woman in the photo was the dancer Liu Yan.
After only 5 years of marriage, there were problems, Ma Yanli was very sad, divorced Lang Kun, and took the child alone.
Today, Lang Kun has basically no news, he is not with Liu Yan, and he is still alone.
Ma Yanli is also single, but she has found her own life under the love of her daughter and parents. In her determined eyes, she has unlimited expectations for the future.
In 1995, Ma Yanli participated in the Shanghai Model Competition and won the championship, and thus began her modeling career.
In the following years, Ma Yanli not only became a supermodel, but also starred in film and television dramas.
Tall and beautiful, Ma Yanli has gained a lot of fans. And the increase in fame has made her even more on the stage of the party.
One day in 2001, Ma Yanli still attended the party, and the director Lang Kun also attended the party.
Lang Kun is a famous director, who has directed the Spring Festival Gala 5 times and many Lantern Festival galas.
At that time, Lang Kun was 42 years old, and he exuded a mature charm between his hands and feet, and it was this that deeply attracted Ma Yanli.
Ma Yanli is 15 years younger than Lang Kun, and the huge age difference has not washed away Ma Yanli's admiration, but has made her have a little more admiration for Lang Kun.
At the same time, Lang Kun also noticed Ma Yanli.
Previously, Lang Kun had two marriages, one was a colleague and the other was a singer, but unfortunately, neither relationship could go to the best.
After two failed marriages, Lang Kun saw in Ma Yanli's body the charm that his former wife did not have. He intends to pursue Ma Yanli.
In the spring of 2001, Lang Kun asked Ma Yanli to go out to dinner. He watched Ma Yanli go to the bathroom, immediately sat down at the piano, and then played a romantic tune.
This scene was just seen by Ma Yanli, when Ma Yanli came out of the bathroom and was about to walk to the dinner table, but was attracted by a gentle piano sound.
She was stunned.
At that moment, she seemed to have a stream of water sliding through her fingertips and sliding into her heart, but she still couldn't soothe the heart in her heart.
Since then, Ma Yanli has identified Lang Kun from her heart.
In 2001, the two married.
However, after hearing the news of the marriage, Ma Yanli's friends were not optimistic, thinking that Lang Kun had two marriages, and his age must be very smooth.
I am afraid that Ma Yanli will suffer losses.
But she didn't listen, she loved Lang Kun, she loved very much.
Not long after marriage, Ma Yanli gave birth to a small baby. The upgrade of the small family to a family of three has also made Lang Kun and Ma Yanli more intimate.
The way the two get along is like a couple who are always in love.
This also made Ma Yanli's love for Lang Kun more than a star and a half, and she found that Lang Kun was not only mature, but also humorous, no matter how old people could talk.
She looked at Lang Kun, who was talking nonchalantly, and the corners of her mouth inadvertently rose.
Feelings of grace and love, the two have a good development in their careers.
Lang Kun continued to be a director, but Ma Yanli had begun to consider the problem of transformation, and the model ate youth rice and was slapped on the beach when she was old.
In order to put an end to this situation, Ma Yanli turned her eyes to design and planned to become a designer herself.
Lang Kun listened very much in agreement, and even sometimes at the press conference, he would personally control the process and make some small suggestions to Ma Yanli.
However, for the proposal, Ma Yanli will not accept it in its entirety.
After all, Lang Kun stood in a professional point of view, and Ma Yanli stood in the fashion perspective to see, in the face of unacceptable places, Lang Kun was not angry, but felt that Ma Yanli had a lot of ideas.
However, sometimes, Lang Kun is busy with time and cannot be a director, and he will try to appear at the press conference as much as possible.
For Ma Yanli, the appearance of Lang Kun itself is a great encouragement.
Lang Kun gave Ma Yanli a lot of support, and Ma Yanli would help Lang Kun as much as possible.
Of course, in the professional direction, Ma Yanli did not speak.
It seems that she can match Lang Kun with daily clothes from her professional point of view, even if it is a suit.
Under the collocation of Ma Yanli, Lang Kun slowly accepted jeans, and also accepted the wearing method of Western-assembled jeans, many colleagues were very shocked by this, after all, Lang Kun did not like jeans before.
Seeing the changes in Lang Kun, countless people envied this marriage.
When they are busy, the two can't take care of each other, but once they are idle, they will go out to dinner and watch a concert.
Or when Ma Yanli participated in the program, Lang Kunto's program team sent a small card containing love.
At that time, this couple with the appearance of Lang Cai was envied by many people, and some people thought that Lang Kun was really a prodigal son.
But the beauty of love was shattered in 2006.
Some people saw Lang Kun holding hands with a woman, and thought it was Ma Yanli, but when they looked closely, they found that it was a strange woman, and they were very shocked in their hearts, and they hurriedly lined the two into the picture frame.
Subsequently, this person posted the photo on the Internet, which caused a lot of turmoil in an instant, and people thought that Lang Kun was unfaithful to marriage, unfaithful to Ma Yanli, not a good husband, not a good father.
Similarly, netizens have speculated who the strange woman is, and only then did they determine the identity of the woman, Liu Yan.
However, for this photo to illustrate Lang Kun's split legs, Ma Yanli did not admit it.
She also wanted to save her marriage, she wanted to give her daughter a complete home, but things didn't go as she thought.
The two pulled until the end, Ma Yanli saw the true face of Lang Kun, but also saw his own personality, both of them are stubborn personality, insisting on being together, may be worse.
Thinking of this, Ma Yanli could only agree to the divorce in frustration.
After the divorce, Ma Yanli won the custody of her daughter, and she thought that since she could not give her daughter a complete family, she would give her daughter complete maternal love.
After the two people lived together, Ma Yanli was particularly uncomfortable for a while, always felt that nothing was going well, and wanted to chat with people, but no one talked.
She had to tell her daughter all about her stomach.
Looking at her daughter's sparkling eyes, Ma Yanli will feel a trace of warmth flowing through her heart.
In addition to taking care of her daughter, Ma Yanli's career has not fallen, and she knows that career is an important part of supporting herself.
So they went around, developing conferences and designing clothes.
However, she is always working hard outside and cannot see her daughter, so Ma Yanli always thinks of her daughter during the trip.
She always wanted to go to see her daughter after the busy, but she always lacked time, so she had to put her daughter in her parents' house and help take care of the children.
Sometimes even five or six days a month to go home, and it is rare to accompany children.
Every time I look back at the busy month and find that I don't have a few days to spend with my daughter, Ma Yanli has a lot of guilt in her heart.
As a result, she would reduce her time at work, spend watching movies with her daughter, play games, or go out to dinner. Ma Yanli took her little daughter's school bag and watched her daughter bounce around in front of her, and the laughter penetrated her ears, and her heart would be very happy.
However, her busy work not only allows her to reduce the time she spends with her daughter, but also prevents her from seeing her parents anytime and anywhere.
During the break, she will think of her childhood life, her father who likes to read, her mother who likes to make sachets, and the aroma of various pasta in her hometown.
Whenever she thinks about these things, she will pick up her mobile phone and make a call to her parents who are far away from home.
Once, during a conversation, he heard the news of his brother's marriage, so he vacated the trip and rushed back home.
She watched her brother's confession to his wife at the wedding, and suddenly found that her brother had grown up, and when she thought back on herself, she would also find that she had become more mature along the way.
Especially after a failed marriage.
After attending the wedding, she ran back to her career.
At this time, some people were surprised to find that Ma Yanli had returned to the countryside and planted mushrooms. Some people even say that the cultivation of mushrooms has also stimulated economic development.
Many people gave Ma Yanli a thumbs up.
However, for this matter, Ma Yanli felt very absurd.
The reason why she went to the countryside was that Ma Yanli went to a program, planted mushrooms to help the children of migrant workers, and that was all, but in addition to participating in the program, Ma Yanli still focused most of her attention on designing clothes.
"Of course, if you have the opportunity, working with mushrooms is also a good choice."
Ma Yanli finally said.
With Ma Yanli's efforts, her career has become bigger and bigger, and she has more time at her disposal, and she uses this time to spend with her family.
However, the family is anxious and hopes that Ma Yanli will find another object, but she is not interested in this, she feels that she is spiritually rich, and it is acceptable to be single.
It is also this idea that has made Ma Yanli single so far.
With the passage of time, the little daughter slowly grew up, and many people thought that the little daughter would also follow the mother's old path and become a supermodel.
But for her daughter's future, Ma Yanli does not interfere too much, she only wants her daughter to do what she wants to do, grow up healthy and happy.
Today, Ma Yanli is 48 years old, but she still works hard in her career and lives out of herself, and many people evaluate her as a strong woman because she does things vigorously.
But she didn't know that.
She believes that as long as people with strong hearts can be fierce and can also feel like a spring breeze, they can be called strong women.
The divorce in 2006 was a blow to Ma Yanli and a new beginning.
And for Lang Kun, what about it?
After Lang Kun's divorce, there was no new love affair, but he put all his thoughts on his career.
But even so, there are still many people who doubt his relationship with Liu Yan, although Ma Yanli has never said that Liu Yan and Lang Kun are not good, but it does not mean that people will forget about it.
However, Lang Kun denied the scandal with Liu Yan one by one.
In 2008, Liu Yan participated in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and originally wanted to be seen and noticed by people with the Olympic Games.
Unexpectedly, there was an accident during the rehearsal, and it fell directly to the ground, causing paralysis.
After Liu Yan was injured, many people thought of Lang Kun for the first time and wanted to know what the relationship between Lang Kun and Liu Yan was.
"I heard that you and Liu Yan are married"
"Nothing, and Liu Yan don't have any feelings."
In the face of reporters' questions, Lang Kun once again denied the possibility of this relationship.
The reporter had to find Liu Yan, but Liu Yan did not want to talk about private topics because of his injury.
However, she also acknowledged the existence of Lang Kun, which did give her a lot of encouragement and comfort, and as for the relationship between the two, there was no specific explanation.
And some friends said that after Liu Yan was injured, Lang Kun once went to see her, and even if he was busy at work, he had to squeeze out time to see Liu Yan's emotions.
However, with the passage of time, people gradually lost interest in what kind of relationship between Lang Kun and Liu Yan was.
This also allowed Lang Kun to focus all his energy on his career again.
Perhaps too obsessed with his career, Lang Kun was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2011, which made him often dizzy.
Fortunately, the operation was very successful and Lang Kun recovered.
Even, in an interview, Lang Kun also laughed about the energy of this operation.
"I have become a lot more active in my thinking now, and I often have creative ideas and colds, I don't know if it is the cause of the operation, or maybe it is also a psychological cue."
Either way, there's no denying that he was inspired to be a director.
After the operation, he supervised the production of the program "Glorious Bloom", hoping to build a platform for young people who love music and excellent musical talents with ideas to gather into the program.
It's just a pity that he no longer directs the Spring Festival Gala. Of course, he is not idle, the Spring Festival Gala live, he will do live reviews on another news channel.
Today, Lang Kun no longer appears in front of people, and he has not married again, alone.
Sick a person, a person who has surgery, a person who has been alone, also reveals desolation.
Now, when Lang Kun and Ma Yanli divorced for 16 years, Ma Yanli's existence shows that divorce is not the end, but can be a new starting point in life.
Ma Yanli took the child alone, honored her parents, and engaged in a career, although she did not have a new boyfriend, but she had some freedom.
And this freedom is created by her firm heart and indomitable character.
Lang Kun, after a failed relationship, also resumed singleness, and Ma Yanli went to her own life.
Although both have been unfortunate, the two have indeed proved that divorce is a new beginning.
