One day in 1990, a director named Chen Jialin and a costume designer met.
The costume designer's name is Li Jianqun, she not only has an excellent talent in costume design, but also is particularly good at acting.
Early photographs of Li Jianqun
Li Jianqun is always very serious and dedicated when working.
Considering that many costumes require the actors to wear for a variety of large-scale performances, every time after designing a set of clothes, Li Jianqun will personally try them on to see if there are any things that need to be modified.
The director fancy, one person does two jobs
In 1986, Li Jianqun followed the director to shoot a movie, responsible for the costume design of all the characters.
Li Jianqun's design manuscript
The crew has already started shooting, but the originally scheduled female number two has been unwilling to be present, which makes the director in charge of filming very angry.
It happened that at that time, the director saw Li Jianqun, who was trying on costumes, and was immediately attracted by this girl with superior facial features, and had the idea of inviting her to make a movie.
Li Jianqun's tall figure, fair skin, and a hooking mole near the corner of his mouth look both charming and beautiful.
Even the director couldn't help but praise that Li Jianqun looked better than the heroine in the play, and if he was an actor, he would definitely become popular.
He found Li Jianqun and promised that as long as she could participate in the female number two, he would pay a rich reward in return.
However, at that time, Li Jianqun did not care about this, she was more optimistic about her costume design work, and said that even if she agreed to the director to participate in the shooting, she would continue to complete the corresponding costume requirements.

She filmed with the crew during the day, and at night she had to make time to design her own clothes, which she only had a few hours a day to sleep.
Even so, Li Jianqun was still able to complete the shooting task brilliantly and be vivid when performing.
After the movie was broadcast, Li Jianqun immediately became a well-known actor in China, and many directors were vying to cooperate with her in filming.
In fact, Li Jianqun did not embark on the road of clothing design at the beginning, and her life development can be described by the word bumpy.
Discover artistic talent by accident
Born in 1957, Li Jianqun grew up in a small town in Wuhan, with delicate facial features and no loss of atmosphere.
When Li Jianqun was very young, her parents discovered her advantages in appearance and intended to send her to study art, hoping that she could make some achievements in the entertainment industry.
At first, they took Li Jianqun to learn dance, and the young Li Jianqun was very good at dance performance, and was able to learn various movements that required long-term training in a short period of time.
Many teachers who have seen Li Jianqun perform have praised her as a talented person, thinking that she will become a well-known actor in the dance industry in the future.
Who knew that Li Jianqun had not had time to participate in the performance, but an accident occurred during the practice, causing his knee to be seriously injured and unable to perform strenuous exercise.
At that time, the doctor regretfully told her that if Li Jianqun continued to practice dance or perform similar dance movements, her knee would be injured equally badly again.
At that time, the medical level was not too developed, and if he did not receive correct and timely assistance, Li Jianqun was likely to lose the ability to walk.
The doctor's speech shocked Li Jianqun's family, and her family no longer forced her to continue practicing dance, so she had to let Li Jianqun rest at home first.
Thinking of his years of hard work instantly came to naught, Li Jianqun's heart was very uncomfortable, and he was unwilling to speak for a long time.
Worried about her physical health, her parents helped him sign up for an art class and found a teacher to help her draw every day.
Chen Yifei
With the teacher's education and encouragement, Li Jianqun quickly found his talent in art and successfully became one of Chen Yifei's students.
After a period of study, when Li Jianqun chose the direction of her life, she did not want to stay in school to teach, so she ran to Lanzhou with other classmates to become a literary soldier in the Lanzhou Cultural Troupe.
Even after training there, Li Jianqun did not give up his pursuit of painting, and whenever he had free time, he would make time to participate in various oil painting competitions, and won many awards in oil painting and design.
Career success, harvest love
Later, Li Jianqun left the army to find a new job, and she became a costume designer with her interest and ability in painting.
This job allows her to enjoy the process of painting, but also allows her to see her ideal outfit with her own eyes, and step into reality little by little.
The clothes she designs are always particularly delicate and gorgeous, which can bring unique visual effects to the audience, so it has been loved by many directors.
Although the daily shooting tasks are already very numerous, Li Jianqun has not easily put down her pursuit of fashion design, and the makeup of many works is completed by her alone.
Chen Jialin saw Li Jianqun's talent in costume design and invited her to be the costume designer of the crew.
However, after seeing him, Chen Jialin was quickly attracted by Li Jianqun's atmospheric and beautiful appearance, and invited Li Jianqun to play the role of Wu Huifei in the play.
Because of their work, the two often need to have in-depth communication with the crew to discuss topics in terms of costumes and plot direction.
Sometimes they also talk about some topics in life, talk about their respective interests and ideals, and gradually, the atmosphere between the two people becomes ambiguous.
Chen Jialin also realized this problem and began to pluck up the courage to pursue Li Jianqun, and it didn't take long for the two to come together.
At that time, Li Jianqun did not know Chen Jialin's past experience, and it was not until the two had been together for a while that she heard from others that Chen Jialin had already married and had a wife in his rural hometown.
Chen Jialin
In this regard, Chen Jialin explained that he had no feelings for his wife, and even met only a few times.
The wife had been set up for him by his parents living in his hometown, and he didn't know how to contradict his parents, so he had to go home and marry the woman.
His wife was a very traditional rural woman who did not receive much cultural education, and only knew how to do housework and be filial to her in-laws.
Although such a daughter-in-law can be praised by Chen Jialin's parents, it is not the marriage Chen Jialin wants.
Chen Jialin felt that there were too many problems between himself and the wife who could not understand each other, and their relationship would not last long.
Not long after the ceremony, Mr. Chen chose to go to the city to work hard, rarely returning home to see his parents and wife.
Chen Jialin
However, Li Jianqun still cares very much about reputation and morality, and even if Chen Jialin explained her marital status, she did not give in easily.
Li Jianqun righteously told Chen Jialin that she could not accept a man having two relationships at the same time at any time.
If Chen Jialin wanted to be with her, he had to completely cut off contact with the previous wife.
Chen Jialin was also unambiguous after hearing this, and went home to go through the divorce procedures with his wife a few days later, and Li Jianqun was satisfied with Chen Jialin and came together.
However, after this incident spread, some people also had a bad opinion of Li Jianqun and the relationship between the two of them, believing that Li Jianqun forced Chen Jialin to divorce and wanted to take the position in an improper way.
However, at that time, the two people did not go too far in the gossip in the unexpected world, but still firmly came together and lived a sweet life of cohabitation.
As a director, Chen Jialin often needs to shoot works, and Li Jianqun works with him to help him design the appropriate costumes for the characters in the play.
Sometimes when encountering some less important supporting roles, Li Jianqun will also try to go to the big screen to shoot.
Their relationship lasted for three years, and Chen Jialin felt that the two were particularly compatible spiritually, so he proposed the idea of getting married with Li Jianqun and having another child to start a family.
Who knew that Li Jianqun rejected him decisively when he heard the consequences, and very firmly stated that he would not marry or be infertile.
Chen Jialin felt that Li Jianqun's ideas were a bit extreme, and he tried to persuade her to give up this idea.
Li Jianqun said a little angrily that if Chen Jialin could not accept this, the two of them could scatter at once.
Chen Jialin was naturally unwilling to give up this relationship, so he could only silently agree.
The shadow left by a failed marriage
In fact, Li Jianqun does not really want to get married, but before that, she had experienced a failed marriage, which had a psychological shadow on marriage and feelings.
She always felt that love was beautiful and marriage was terrible.
No matter how beautiful the relationship and marriage are involved, there will be a lot of unnecessary trouble, and eventually the two people will part ways.
When she first became popular, Li Jianqun once met a painting lover who was about her age, and the two had common interests and hobbies, and it didn't take long for them to develop feelings.
Because the feeling when in love is very relaxed and sweet, Li Jianqun quickly agreed to the other party's marriage proposal and began to greet his married life with joy.
Who knew that the state after marriage was not as happy as Li Jianqun imagined.
Li Jianqun is a person who longs for her husband's love, and she hopes to see her partner every day.
However, the husband she chose is a person who does not love family much, and he will not feel uncomfortable if he does not go home for a few days, and every time his husband does not return home at night, Li Jianqun will be cranky in his heart.
And there is also a big gap between the two people in their daily routines, and after living together, they often have conflicts because of a little inexplicable thing.
Especially later, Li Jianqun's career development became more and more prosperous, and after participating in many classic works, her husband often lost his temper because of Li Jianqun's career.
He felt that Li Jianqun was betraying his feelings by filming, and he didn't want to see his wife and other men in front of the big screen.
Li Jianqun felt that her husband's thoughts were unreasonable and did not want to continue to entangle with her husband, so he took the initiative to file for divorce.
After marriage, Li Jianqun rose to prominence in the entertainment industry with her talent in appearance and costume design, which also made her more convinced that marriage would become a stumbling block to hinder her.
Even if she enjoyed living with Chen Jialin very much, she did not change her view of marriage.
Chen Jialin also took great care of Li Jianqun, and if his parents urged him too urgently, he would simply take all the problems on himself, and would never blame Li Jianqun in front of his parents.
One blow after another
He thought that he could live a sweet and happy life with Li Jianqun like this, but who knew that Li Jianqun's physical health had problems.
In 2012, Li Jianqun felt that his body was very uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination.
Unexpectedly, this check, she knew that a huge tumor had appeared in her body.
This news startled Li Jianqun, and she quickly called Chen Jialin to inform her, hoping that her lover could share some of the pain for her.
Chen Jialin also did not expect that Li Jianqun, who seemed healthy, would encounter such a problem, so he immediately put down his work and took Li Jianqun around to seek medical treatment.
Every time she went to other hospitals to see a doctor, Chen Jialin would gently and considerately comfort Li Jianqun and let her not worry too much about the development of her condition.
In fact, Chen Jialin himself was very afraid in his heart, and he was very worried that he would lose Li Jianqun because of this.
Sometimes Chen Jialin needs to return to the crew to continue his work, Li Jianqun relies on calling Chen Jialin to relieve her inner fear, it can be said that she has long regarded Chen Jialin as her own reliance and as a lifesaver in life.
After several years of such days, Li Jianqun's physical condition gradually recovered. Who knew that before the two of them could breathe a sigh of relief, Chen Jialin's work encountered trouble again.
It turns out that Chen Jialin has been in the directing industry for many years and has formed his own directing style.
However, the films he made can no longer conform to the trend of the times, and he has tried his best to shoot several works, but they have not been recognized by the public, and his work income has fallen again and again.
While worrying about his future work development, Chen Jialin was also thinking about how to make money to help Li Jianqun treat his illness, and it didn't take long for him to have a serious illness due to overwork.
This incident caused a big blow to Li Jianqun, who was panicked and anxious and soon developed symptoms of deterioration and relapse, and was admitted to the hospital in July 2020.
Li Jianqun knew that he would die soon, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in his heart.
She told Chen Jialin with tears and regret that she regretted her decision not to get married and have children, and that she felt a lot of pain in her heart when she thought that Chen Jialin would become lonely and lonely after she left.
Chen Jialin gently held Li Jianqun's hand, telling her that he had never blamed Li Jianqun, and said that he would continue to be with Li Jianqun in the next life, and then they would enjoy the joy of having children again.
Not long after this conversation, Li Jianqun passed away, and Chen Jialin was also hit hard and died in July 2022.
Before leaving, he made a special trip to the house where the two people used to live together, and it seemed that he still had some reluctance to this relationship.
The love between Chen Jialin and Li Jianqun is moving, if there is really an afterlife, I hope they can overcome the regrets in this life and have a happier family.
