In 1992, the TV series "Imperial City Roots" was being filmed, and the male and female protagonists Wang Zhiwen and Xu Qing spread a scandal.
You know, this scandal is different from the past, Xu Qing's legitimate boyfriend You Yongzhi is also in the crew.
In the face of rumors, You Yongzhi couldn't believe that he spoiled Xu Qing as a princess and regarded him as the love of his life, but in exchange for the end of the breakup.
As the saying goes, the twisted melon is not sweet, and the marriage that is forced is not round.
Many years later, You Yongzhi met Shen Rong, who was --- beautiful and intelligent in the other half of his life, and his marriage was happy and enviable.
But such a good man, once abandoned by Xu Qing, did not talk about feelings for 8 years, and was almost labeled with the hat of "physical defects".
So, what's going on here?
01. The Chaos Demon King becomes a scholar
You Yongzhi was born in Xi'an, Shaanxi In 1963 to the same parents as engineers at the Northwest Research Institute of Chemical Industry. Because the huaqing pond where Yang Guifei bathed was in front of the house, he was named "You Yong" by his father (some places call swimming a bath). In recent years, he has changed his name to "You Yongzhi".
Since childhood, my parents have been very busy at work, and there is often no one at home.
He fights and fights, plays pranks continuously, and becomes a well-known "Chaos Demon King". The boy's mischievous nature and the straightforward personality of the northwestern people are vividly reflected in You Yongzhi.
When he was in junior high school, he was in adolescence, and he often made trouble in class and beat the teacher.
Once, a young teacher was in class, sitting at the end of the class, listening to boredom and began to play a prank. He took a slingshot in his hand, loaded it with a homemade "paper bullet", and quietly aimed at the teacher to hit it, once, twice... The classmates were all smiling, and he felt very proud.
The teacher threw a chalk head at him as a reminder, and You Yongzhi did not listen at all and continued to hit his slingshot. In desperation, the teacher went to the seat and criticized him. Who expected, he could not hang up his face, began to argue, the more he said, the more urgent, and also slapped the teacher.
In this way, he became famous, was punished by the school, and the teacher left the school because of this. You Yongzhi became a "veritable bad student" in the eyes of the teachers and students of the whole school.
A few years ago, he was interviewed by Lu Yu and recalled this past and still regretted it. Bluntly said: "I am 57 years old, and I regret that when I was in middle school, I punched the teacher in the mouth, and now that I think about it, I really shouldn't." ”
Rikas once said: The journey of life is like this, with a lot of time confused, growing in a few moments.
Indeed, people always have to go through less and more things in order to have a sudden awakening and a new understanding of themselves.
In 1980, 17-year-old You Yongzhi ushered in a turning point in his life.
One day, he had just finished a fight and was sitting on the side of the road resting, when he accidentally received an enrollment brochure from the Xi'an Drama Theatre. He looked at it again and again and decided to sign up.
Because, he has always liked to watch movies, often imagining himself as a character in the movie, in the dark, the actor's dream in his heart is awakened. This time, he will seize the opportunity to prove himself and win glory for his parents' faces.
On the day of the exam, You Yongzhi, who was tall and burly, with thick eyebrows and big eyes and a healthy face, stood out from 8,000 candidates and became one of the 16 lucky candidates.
Soon, he entered the Xi'an Drama Theatre to study. After entering school, he seemed to have suddenly opened his mind, no longer liked to fight, preferred to go to the moat with his classmates to practice sound, go to the library to read books, and learned to appreciate music and cultivate emotions.
You Yongzhi seems to have changed a person, from a "bad boy" in the eyes of others to a good young man who strives to be self-motivated.
In 1984, he was admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy with the first professional result and became a classmate with Li Youbin.
After entering the play, he studied harder, and the line class and the physical fitness class were the top in the class. Handsome and excellent, he has won the likes of many girls, including the gentle and beautiful Liu Xiaochun, the two are classmates in the same class, Lang Cai female appearance, very well matched.
Soon, there will be an extra fairy couple on the theater campus...
02. Abandoned by "love" and closed off on yourself
It is said that campus romance is the purest and most romantic. Liu Xiaochun and You Yongzhi's love is like this, handsome men and beautiful women, with the same interests, they are eager to be together all the time.
In 1988, You Yongzhi, who had just graduated, with the spiritual food of love, joined hands with Liu Xiaochun into the palace of marriage. Because they were very poor at the time, the two could only afford to rent a simple small house.
However, no matter how beautiful love is, it is difficult to resist the blandness of life. The trivial matters of the family and the chai rice oil and salt of life have become the focus of contradictions after marriage.
The personality differences between the two sides were gradually revealed, coupled with the frequent outings to shoot, gathering less and leaving more, and their feelings gradually had a rift.
In the end, romance failed to beat reality, and the marriage lasted only a little over a year before it came to an end.
A few years later, Liu Xiaochun met Guo Kaimin, who was divorced, and the two were in love, and soon entered the marriage, and are still happy.
But after the divorce, You Yongzhi put all the emphasis on his career. When he was shooting the movie "Old Shop", he played the "shrewd businessman" Hua Yingkui very well. In the film "Police Hero", the role of "tough guy" police officer Luo Jianfeng was particularly successful and loved by everyone.
At that time, the image of a tough guy in China was very popular, and he was brave and wise with a righteous face, which just fit this image. His play path is getting wider and wider, and he can play both a righteous policeman and an ordinary person.
In 1991, You Yongzhi was invited by director Ling Zifeng to shoot the movie "Crazy". The film was banned due to its scale and was not released until 2004.
He would never have thought that it was this film that he met the love of his life, "Princess of the Beijing Circle" Xu Qing. The two play a pair of "wild mandarin ducks" in the play, but outside the play is a couple in love.
From the first moment you saw Xu Qing, You Yongzhi was conquered by the beauty of the other party, which can be described as "falling at a glance" and launching a crazy pursuit.
22-year-old Xu Qing is a goddess in the eyes of countless men, You Yongzhi incarnated as a super warm man, doubly caring and considerate of Xu Qing. It's really "holding it in your hand for fear of falling, and holding it in your mouth for fear of melting." ”
In order to change the light bulb for Xu Qing, he could cross most of the city of Beijing and rush over. In order to be able to cook porridge on the phone with her, he touched the duty officer of the telephone bureau with his true feelings.
After unremitting efforts, Xu Qing was touched by him and agreed to be his girlfriend.
Happiness is sometimes short-lived, and a year later, a person appears, completely breaking You Yongzhi's relationship.
In 1993, Xu Qing starred in the TV series "Imperial City Roots", the male protagonist is the handsome and versatile Wang Zhiwen. In order to take care of his girlfriend, You Yongzhi won a supporting role, and the two came to the crew together.
During the filming, Xu Qing and Wang Zhiwen had many opponents, and they discussed the plot together and played for each other together. From strangeness to tacit understanding, different feelings gradually breed, the scene is not finished, and the scandal is spread.
You Yongzhi obviously felt Xu Qing's change, although he did not want to break up, but the mercurial Wang Zhiwen was indeed more attractive than himself.
At that time, Wang Zhiwen was full of literary and artistic style, funny and humorous, and there were many suitors, known as "arsonist with a heart". You Yongzhi, who is at a disadvantage, is really powerless to save this relationship.
At this time, Xu Qing also unilaterally announced his breakup with You Yongzhi through the media, which made his heart hurt.
03. Feeling frustrated, career counterattack
Faced with the departure of the goddess, he could only accept it silently. What was once a deep love affair and a hot love has become a passing cloud.
On the night of breaking up with Xu Qing, You Yongzhi sang "Cheers to the Past" for one night at karaoke. In order to alleviate the boredom in his heart, he often went to drink, and when he was drunk, he slept on the sofa of his good friend Ge You, which was three months.
Later, he concentrated on filming and did not touch feelings. Every day, in addition to seriously filming and memorizing lines, I no longer fight with the crew.
It is said that if God closes a door, he will open a window for you.

With the development of his career, his popularity has also increased. When he was older and single, he was exposed to rumors of "physical defects" and "inability to have children".
Friends around him are anxious for him, and the only way to resolve rumors is to solve emotional problems.
Everyone introduced him to the object, and at first he shirked it. But when he met Shen Rong, a graduate student of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, his tough attitude changed and he began to constantly look for topics...
It is often said that fate is not a coincidence, it is providence.
Shen Rong's grandmother is his fan and likes you Yongzhi's plays very much, and under the influence of her grandmother, Shen Rong also has a good feeling for him.
You Yongzhi, who has a straightforward personality, told the other party that he was married when they first met, and he was not very rich. Shen Rong listened, felt that he was very sincere, and felt a little more joy in his heart. The two had a pleasant chat, and after coming and going, they established a romantic relationship.
In this way, 38-year-old You Yongzhi and 28-year-old Shen Rong fell in love, and he also ended his 8-year single life.
In the face of hard-won love, he maintains it with his heart and cherishes and loves Shen Rong very much.
In 2001, they entered the palace of marriage. After marriage, You Yongzhi took the initiative to undertake housework, he liked to be a "wife strict management", willing to give everything to his wife to decide, giving Shen Rong a sense of security.
No matter how busy or late the filming was, he would take the time to call her. In an interview, he said he was "in love with his wife every day."
In 2018, the two were photographed going out hand in hand and walking all the way to the parking lot, very affectionate.

04. Write at the end
Yu Hua wrote in "Alive": There is nothing more convincing than time, because time can change everything without informing us.
Time, it whispers, changes a lot of things in silence. Time, it does not give advance notice, because we can always see the results of the change.
After the polishing of time, You Yongzhi reconciled with himself emotionally, let go of his past with Xu Qing, and he worked hard to be active on the silver screen and make his career prosperous through one masterpiece after another.
Now he, like the name You Yongzhi, no longer has courage and no strategy, but has a successful career and a happy family.
