Since December 15, 2021, it was revealed by Taiwan media that more than two years have passed since Wang Leehom and his wife Li Lianglei completed divorce procedures.
Today, his status as a "high-quality idol" has long collapsed, and his acting career is almost destroyed.
A few days ago, he finally "appeared" again, on the grounds that his ex-wife Li Lianglei appeared in court for the first time and confronted each other.
Wang Leehom, who reappeared in front of the public, has had a lot of vicissitudes, especially his gray hair, obvious eye bags, and a few more wrinkles on his forehead, which has long been very different from the vigorous boy in the public's impression.
Today's Wang Leehom, as if "broken" a "idol dream" created for the public and himself in the past 28 years of his debut, from a sunny talent to a bad artist, did he just experience a failed marriage?
What kind of unspeakable choices and encounters are behind this?
1. Taiwan's first high-quality idol
As we all know, Wang Leehom is the proud son of heaven, and the family is a high-level intellectual:
His father Wang Dazhong and mother Li Mingzhu both graduated from famous universities, and his cousin was Li Jianfu, the original singer of "Descendants of the Dragon", and most of the elders above were graduates of prestigious schools, and some were famous scholars.
Growing up in such a family, he is not the most brilliant existence, because his brothers and younger brothers are all elite students, and Wang Leehom can only be regarded as "alternative".
He has loved music since he was a child, starting to practice violin at the age of 6 and then piano two years later.
After that, his upbringing does not need to be repeated - the quality of this kind of child who grew up in a family is indeed impeccable in all aspects.
Before his debut, Leehom Wang received a bachelor's degree from Williams College and then studied at Berklee College of Music in the United States.
Because he returned to Taiwan in 1995 to visit relatives, he was discovered by scouts.
But in fact, Wang Leehom's debut has a lot to do with his cousin Li Jianfu, and it was the other party who recommended him to music producer Li Shouquan.
Looking at his acting career now, it is still sparkling:
Although his debut album "Love Rival Beethoven" was not popular, it laid the foundation for his positioning as a "high-quality idol".
At that time, Wang Leehom's girlfriend was Miss Bai, a mixed-race senior sister when she was studying, and she also appeared in the MV of "Rival Beethoven", and the two were "in love" at their expense, which was extremely sweet.
In 1998, Wang Leehom changed agencies, began to take the talent route, and participated in all the details of the album, and the album "Revolution and Rotation" sold more than 100,000 copies in the first week of release.
But the "trouble" brought by the popularity is that the work is getting busier and busier, so he and Miss Bai ended their 5-year relationship and returned to the relationship of friends.
However, Wang Leehom had a deep affection for Miss Bai at that time, and it is said that when the other party married in 2005, he also wrote a song "Forever Love", and the heroine type in the MV is the same as the ex.
At that time, he took the affectionate big boy route, and bluntly said in an interview that he had met Miss Bai again and learned that the other party was engaged.
So the MV of "Forever Love" used the wedding bridge, but he said with a broken heart: "I did my own wedding, and the groom turned out to be someone else, and I felt quite sad." ”
But in fact, after bidding farewell to Miss Bai, Wang Leehom and the female singer Zhang Huimei, who has collaborated many times, had a scandal.
The two have interacted intimately on stage, held hands generously on the red carpet, and were exposed to "can't help it" kissing while working in the studio.
Not only that, but the man was also photographed entering Zhang Huimei's home many times... The scandal between the two was raging, but they never admitted it once.
After 2000, Wang Leehom came to his own era, and the works such as "The One" and "Revolution and Rotation" were all hits, and because of his handsome appearance and affectionate character, he became a unique "Taiwan's first high-quality idol".
Especially in 2002, he also appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, which can be described as popular all over the Taiwan Strait and three places.
Also this year, Wang Leehom met Li Lianglei, who was 10 years younger than him, and these contents were many years later, the two began to tear each other because of divorce, and the woman took the initiative to break the news.
She said that the two met when she was 16 years old, but although she was not an adult at that time, Wang Leehom was ambiguous about his language and took the initiative to take a fierce attack.
In the revelation, Li Lianglei said that Wang Leehom took the initiative to ask her to watch a movie, and even met her gossip girlfriend, and then suddenly called herself in the middle of the night to call herself to "sleep with him"...
It can be said that this description directly broke the public's impression of Wang Leehom for many years.
Now, after nearly 20 years, the public seems to have no way of knowing what the truth is, and perhaps we can only spy on the "real" situation from some of the content exposed by the media at that time.
2. A genuine girlfriend who has been hiding for 20 years
In 2003, it was Li Lianglei who first appeared in public, and the news headline was "Accompanied by Wang Leehom to see gynecology".
At that time, she had just turned 18 years old, and as soon as the news came out, the man immediately came forward to deny it, saying that the two were just brothers and sisters.
According to the deep pickpocket, it is not difficult to find that Li Lianglei did often accompany Wang Leehom at that time, and Taiwan media have photographed the two walking together more than once.
Li Lianglei is a Chinese-Japanese mixed race, originally named Michiko Nishimura, her mother is Li Yaomin who has acted in the Hong Kong film "Blood Storm", and her biological father is Japanese.
Li Yaomin later had a deep connection with Chen Feilong, the chairman of Nanqiao Group, suspected of being a confidante of Hongyan, and she has been doing business since she withdrew from the circle, so she is worth a lot.
According to Li Lianglei's revelations, the two later met again, and Wang Leehom was still devoted to himself, so with the "idol filter", they naturally came together.
But after establishing the relationship, the man said that he did not want to "give a name", why? Because he wants to maintain the identity of a "high-quality idol", but there are other gossip girlfriends around him.
In 2005, Wang Leehom had scandals with actresses such as Xiao Yaxuan and Shu Qi, both of whom sparked in the process of cooperation, but they also denied it.
Two years later, he starred in "SE Caution" directed by Ang Lee, and had an affair with mainland actress Tang Wei.
At that time, the two finished filming and retook a set of very emotional photos, and they also behaved intimately at the press conference, which made the public speculate a lot about their relationship.
However, at this time, Li Lianglei should still be by Wang Leehom's side and is his "shadow girl", because the three once had a group photo.
During this period, Wang Leehom's career was still at the peak of creation, especially adding Chinese style to music, and works such as "Heroes of the World" and "In Meibian" were still well received and popular.
But bizarrely, his love life has become more colorful.
After repeated scandals but forever denials, in 2008, an article titled "Wang Leehom is Gay All America Knows?" The report that his boyfriend's family lives in New York suddenly began to go viral on the Internet.
Here we have to mention another collapsed actor of the incident, Li Moudi, but the two were really suspected of "having a situation" on the spring evening four years later.
At that time, they appeared together and tacitly collaborated, and then the latter appeared as a guest at Leehom Wang's concert.
In the middle of the day, the discussion about Wang Leehom's X orientation became more intense, and he, who had always shown himself with gentle humility, suddenly personally ended up angry: "My personality is very straight!" ”
But this sentence did not seem to be useful, so at the end of the same year, Wang Leehom officially announced his lover relationship with Li Lianglei.
But in fact, two months before his official announcement, he was still dating Lin Xiaoyun, a female model who cooperated in shooting MVs.
In response, Wang Leehom's response was to have a party at home that night, and the woman's explanation was that "it was too late that day, so I didn't go home for safety." ”
However, the year after Wang Leehom married Li Lianglei, Lin Xiaojun suddenly posted on social platforms, suspected connotation: "And our past ended silently... You and I will never owe any more..."
In fact, it is also a little strange that Wang Leehom suddenly let Li Lianglei, who has been "hiding" behind him for many years, appear.
Because friends around him at that time, such as blacks who were very close, did not know in advance, or even did not know that he had a relationship with him?
3. There is no winner in a divorce lawsuit
Later, someone deeply analyzed why Wang Leehom "scribbled" to officially announce his relationship at that time, and quickly married and gave birth.
At the age of 37, he revealed in many shows that there were periods of great emotional instability before and after, and even "so depressed that he lay on the ground for several days and couldn't get up."
In fact, as early as 2006, Wang Leehom emphasized in "Kangxi is Coming" that he hated the report of being rumored to be in love with X, and throughout 2012, "Yundi Love" made the most noise.
In this way, Li Lianglei, who has been hidden for many years, can successfully ascend to the throne, perhaps because of the "favorable time and place".
But soon, their marriage had its first storm - in the second month of their marriage, the woman was exposed to have a fiancé named Darwin Huang.
It is said that the man studied in Canada and later returned to Hong Kong to become a lawyer, and he and Li Lianglei have been dating for many years and have just been engaged.
In addition, Li Lianglei's academic qualifications were also exposed to suspected fraud, and even was picked up as evidence of "nightclub coffee" and "gold worship girl", but Wang Leehom did not say a word about this.
After that, the couple, who had known each other for many years and suddenly got married, but once fell into various doubts, lived a relatively low-key life.
Although they also once had a "pull-up hot kiss" at a concert to win attention, Li Lianglei also entered the circle of Taiwanese noblewomen, brushing her sense of existence from time to time.
But overall, Leehom Wang's career did begin to decline after getting married:
In addition to singing the ending song "Fate of a Bridge" from Zhang Yimou's movie "The Great Wall" in 2016, which attracted attention again, few works were released.
Li Lianglei gave birth to two girls and a boy in 2014, 2016 and 2018.
The woman even changed her surname with her husband and titled the name "Wang Lianglei", which must have made the audience shout: What a happy couple!
But in fact, judging from the content she began to hammer her husband angrily after she wanted to divorce, and constantly released it, Wang Leehom seems to be still not idle after marriage.
The actresses involved include: Bai Weiling, the younger sister in the BY2 group, and Xu Ruoxuan, an actress who has married and had children.
In addition, there are also blatant summons, and was hinted by his ex-wife that "men and women eat all", and was even released by Taiwan media to screenshot the text message of summoning Ji in the United States...
If the above story about "the perfect husband in the eyes of outsiders, because he is too good and keeps stealing" can be tolerated, then perhaps the last straw that crushed Li Lianglei was the mental CPU.
She bluntly said in the revelation that after she married the other party, she was constantly suspected, humiliated, and coldly violent by him and his family...
As a result, there was the comprehensive collapse of the "high-quality idol" that everyone saw at the end of 2021.
At that time, they tore each other apart for a while, especially Wang Leehom's father also wrote a personal letter to prove that "it was all Li Lianglei's fault", which attracted a lot of ridicule.
The two sides also revealed that they were suspected of signing an agreement, thinking that things would be so bland.
But in February this year, Wang Leehom suddenly released a new song "If you want to see, you can meet", bluntly said:
"This is a song that Dad wrote to the children, my children, Dad misses you."
But was angered by Li Lianglei: "Don't consume children anymore, is it difficult to take off the mask and be a person?" ”
Then this time, the two appeared in the court at the same time, confronted head-on, and in the face of media inquiries, both sides were in a hurry and unwilling to talk more.
Taiwan media revealed that the reason why the two sides appeared in court this time was because the court had previously ruled on the enforcement of family meetings, but Wang Leehom did not meet the children smoothly.
At present, the specific situation is not clear, but the public found this time that Wang Leehom has long ceased to be handsome and looks more and more old and haggard, and Li Lianglei, who is 10 years younger than him, has significantly less hair.
It can be said that in this way, there is no winner in this divorce lawsuit, but how many hypocritical illusions have been exposed by the intricate story behind it?
