"You are the deepest pain in my heart, you are the true hero in my heart."
Among the actresses Zhang Yimou has worked with, only Liu Yan let him make such an evaluation.
People say that Liu Yan is the most indebted woman in Zhang Yimou's life.
And it is.
On July 27, 2008, there were still 12 days left before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
After 12 days, Liu Yan will receive the attention of the world with the A corner of the only solo dance "Silk Road" at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, ushering in the most brilliant moment of her dance career.
However, things are uncertain.
Due to a few seconds of error, Liu Yan accidentally fell from a three-meter high platform and eventually fell into a high paraplegic.
Now that 14 years have passed, how is Liu Yan, who fell into lifelong paralysis, now living?
Small Three Top
Ten years to sharpen a sword.
In 2006, Liu Yan, who had worked hard for many years, finally ushered in his own brilliant moment.
This year, she was invited to the Spring Festival Gala and danced a dance called "Three Friends of the Cold Year" with dancers Yang Liping and Tan Yuanyuan on the same stage.
On the stage, she danced to the music in a red dress, like a red plum blooming in the wind.
After the dance, Liu Yan's reputation became famous, and this time it directly attracted Lang Kun's attention.
For Liu Yan, Lang Kun is all kind of considerate, holding it in the palm of his hand for fear of breaking, and holding it in his mouth for fear of melting.
Under the fierce attack of Lang Kun, Liu Yan fell, and the two went on a date and went shopping, and were soon photographed by the media on a sweet date.
It is reasonable to say that one is a dancer with beauty and wisdom, and the other is a talented Spring Festival Gala director, and the two are perfectly suitable.
But when they were together, they were condemned by the public.
The reason behind this is because of a woman named Ma Yanli.
Ma Yanli, a famous costume designer, met director Lang Kun when she was a model in the early days.
At that time, she was confident and cheerful, and a smile made Lang Kun feel like a spring breeze.
So, he struck decisively.
After an event, she took the initiative to invite Ma Yanli to eat a supper, and Ma Yanli quickly agreed.
Lang Kun is romantic, both then and now.
On the way to the date, Ma Yanli went to the bathroom to do kung fu, and Lang Kun could create a surprise for people:
Sitting in front of the piano in the restaurant, after Ma Yanli came out, she sang a song "To Alice" affectionately.
This operation stunned me and touched Ma Yanli.
Since then, the two have often begun to date, and friendship has been sublimated into love in more and more contact.
In September 2001, Langkun Ma Yanli was licensed to marry.
Received the permit but did not do the wedding, only because the two people were very busy with their work, they delayed it again and again, and finally discussed simply not to make up the wedding.
Two years later, Ma Yanli gave birth to a daughter for Lang Kun, named: Lang Ma Qin Ge.
Just from the word "Langma", you can see how much the two love each other.
Male and female, such a life is plain but happy.
But Ma Yanli could not imagine that her sincerity was ultimately exchanged for her husband's betrayal.
In July 2006, when Ma Yanli went to Germany for business, some media photographed Lang Kun and a woman holding hands and shopping.
And this woman is the protagonist Liu Yan that we mentioned at the beginning.
The appearance of Liu Yan broke Ma Yanli's beautiful life, and she was unwilling to try to save it, but since ancient times, she only listened to the new people laughing and not the old people crying.
After many times of fruitless redemption, Ma Yanli finally chose to end this marriage in name only, and resolutely left with her daughter.
Love is frustrated, the workplace is proud.
Ma Yanli, who was heartbroken, did not collapse, but put all her thoughts on her daughter and work.
In order to make her daughter's life better, she worked hard and eventually created a fashion brand named after her.
Holding personal fashion design sessions, participating in large-scale costume exhibitions in China's Cultural and American Tour, and appearing on the New York Fashion Week show...
Step by step, you will eventually become a winner in life.
Compared with her brilliant life, the fate of her ex-husband Lang Kun and "mistress" Liu Yan is really unbearable.
Liu Yan: Fall off the stage
After taking Lang Kun, Liu Yan gained more resources and thus met the director Zhang Yimou.
At that time, Zhang Yimou was looking for dancers for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.
Most of Zhang Yimou's designs are grand and grand scenes.
Therefore, the dancer to be selected must have an aura, and the appearance and dance posture must be first-class.
Under the guidance of Long Kun, Liu Yan entered Zhang Yimou's line of sight. (Its own strength is also quite strong)
"I've seen her 'Rouge Buckle', and in this performance, whether it's her body language or spiritual connotations, it will make a woman's heart jump to life."
In this way, Liu Yan was designated as the A corner of the Olympic solo dance "Silk Road".
She was excited on the day she came to the Bird's Nest, the biggest stage she had worked so hard to get on in all these years.
At that time, she stood in front of the bird's nest, took one photo after another, and posted it on the social platform, and the photo was a smile that could not be hidden.
Getting up earlier than a chicken and sleeping later than a dog is used to describe Liu Yan at that time, which is appropriate.
In order to make this performance more perfect, every day she came to the bird's nest early and then stayed until she was left alone.
For her, dance is life, but that day she lost her "life".
On July 27, 2008, as usual, Liu Yan came to the Bird's Nest early to prepare for the final rehearsal.
Lights, music and everything is ready.
Liu Yan jumped from the electronic tissue paper to another platform with a stuck point, and at this moment, an accident appeared.
Seeing that Liu Yan had not yet stood firmly, the platform began to move, and Liu Yan, who had no time to react, fell from the three-meter high platform.
For a moment there was silence.
Falling into fainting, she had no idea what she was about to face, and opened her eyes to say the first words:
Let's get to the Nest tomorrow at five o'clock in the afternoon, right?
He was then rushed to the hospital.
Liu Yan's parents got their daughter admitted to the hospital and came from Hohhot overnight.
On the night of the fall, Liu Mu fainted on the spot when she heard the four people who "fell to the bone marrow", what these four words mean, as a doctor, Liu Mu could not be clearer.
The day after the operation, Liu Yan woke up, looked at her parents' heavy expressions, and the up to four hundred text messages on her mobile phone, she knew that she was finished.
Later, the opening ceremony was held as scheduled, and the position that should have belonged to her was replaced by the B corner.
Her family and her teachers were afraid that she would be sad and afraid that she would not be able to accept the reality and do extreme things, but her reaction shocked everyone.
Unusually calmly, she sent a text message to the Olympic Organizing Committee: I wish you success.
Then lie quietly on the hospital bed, listening to the fireworks outside and the enthusiastic cheers in the stadium.
After Liu Yan's accident, Zhang Yimou publicly expressed his sorry for Liu Yan several times.
He said he wasn't the culprit, but he had responsibilities that could not be shirked.
What about her gossip boyfriend Lang Kun?
After learning that Liu Yan was seriously injured and could only rely on a wheelchair for the rest of his life, he symbolically visited Liu Yan and disappeared "without a trace".
When the media asked whether the two were married, Lang Kun also denied it in public many times, saying that the two were just ordinary friends.
She was also frustrated in the workplace, and she was in pain under the double blow, but fortunately, she still had her parents, as well as the company and care of her parents.
In the six months of hospitalization, she was like a chicken blood, desperately doing rehabilitation training.
But there was no miracle, Liu Yan was diagnosed with high paraplegia, and he could no longer do without a wheelchair in the future.
After seven months of fruitless training, Liu Yan chose to be discharged from the hospital and returned home, living a normal and abnormal life.
"Don't hide from you, that kind of pain, in fact, can never be calm."
Although she said in every subsequent interview that she could sit in a wheelchair, it turned out that she still cared.
She pretended not to care because it was her only option to live.
Later, she began to improve herself, forcing herself to write her own papers.
Later, she began to use herself to interpret what is the disabled person who never gives up, and interpret the broader meaning of "beauty" with practical actions.
This persistence has been fourteen years.
Losing a pair of legs and recovering a life, Liu Yan's life can also be regarded as ups and downs.
Some people are distressed and some people feel that it is karma:
"At the beginning, the most popular people were Wang Yabin and Shao Junting, if it wasn't for Lang Kun, how could Liu Yan take the A corner?"
"It's really a world newspaper, if she performs at the Olympics, the original match is estimated to be very bad."
"The blessing of great anticipation is not something that anyone can afford."
There are a hundred Hamlets in the eyes of a hundred people.
I think that compared to her undignified emotional life, being strong and optimistic is the best life model she has left us.
He smiled slightly
Liu Yan was paralyzed, and Lang Kun was not much better.
In the Spring Festival of 2011, Lang Kun suddenly felt unwell, and his mental trance even became sluggish.
Brother Lang Kun and his assistant sensed that something was wrong and rushed him to the hospital for examination.
"Meningioma, 3.8 cm in diameter, has been around for more than 4 years judging by size."
In addition, the doctor also said that if it was found three years ago, it would be just a minor operation.
Lang Kun was in a bit of a trance, he usually didn't smoke or drink, he didn't play cards and sing, how could he get sick?
After thinking about it, I came to the conclusion that the work was stressful and busy with work led to no even physical examination.
In March of the same year, Lang Kun underwent meningioma surgery for up to 9 hours.
The surgery went smoothly, the tumor was successfully removed, there were no sequelae, and until now he is in good physical condition.
After retrieving a life, he began to reduce his work and slowly retreated to the second line to enjoy life.
With the passage of time, Liu Yan has long been relieved of Lang Kun's original "abandonment" move.
After Lang Kun's successful surgery, he also visited, and the two laughed and hated each other.
It's just a pity that at the age of 63, he has never found a lover who has been with him all his life after leaving Ma Yanli.
Looking back at the original three people, one was suffering from cancer and the other was paralyzed, only Ma Yanli was good at it.
People can't help but sigh: it's not that the time has not yet arrived.
