The 86th version of "Journey to the West" is a classic mythological drama, in which Chi Chongrui, the actor of Tang Monk, has also become an idol in the hearts of countless audiences. He is handsome and dignified, elegant temperament, and is a perfect "white-faced boy". However, his real life is very different from his image in the play.
In 1990, Chi Chongrui married Chen Lihua, China's richest woman at the time, causing an uproar. Chen Lihua is 11 years older than Chi Chongrui and is a descendant of the Yehenara clan, that is, the descendants of the Qing imperial family. With her business acumen and collecting vision, she has accumulated a huge fortune in the fields of real estate, rosewood furniture and so on. She met Chi Chongrui on the filming site of "Journey to the West", fell in love at first sight, and resolutely pursued him.
Chi Chongrui originally did not feel anything about Chen Lihua, and was even a little afraid. After all, Chen Lihua is a strong, domineering, rich, powerful, and powerful woman, and he is just an ordinary actor. But with Chen Lihua's constant overtures and help, Chi Chongrui finally agreed to her marriage proposal. He gave up his acting career for Chen Lihua and became her full-time husband.
But life after marriage was not as good as he imagined. Chen Lihua formulated three family rules for Chi Chongrui: first, he could not speak casually and must obey her arrangement; The second is that he can't move the chopsticks first, and he must wait for her to finish eating; The third is that he cannot take the initiative to get close to her and must act according to her requirements. These regulations made Chi Chongrui feel very depressed and aggrieved, but he did not dare to resist.
What broke Chi Chongrui's heart even more was that Chen Lihua clearly told him that she would not have children with him. Because she already had a failed marriage and three children. She no longer wants to sacrifice her body and health to give birth to a new life. She also no longer wants to distract her energy and wealth for the sake of her children. She just wants to live a sweet life of two people with Chi Chongrui.
In this way, Chi Chongrui became a son-in-law without dignity, descendants, and property. He could only make a decoration in Chen Lihua's house and follow her as a follower. He can only be a laughing stock in the eyes of the outside world, and is ridiculed as a "big" soft rice man. He could only be sad in his heart, losing his dreams and freedom.
Today, Chi Chongrui is 71 years old, and Chen Lihua is also 79 years old. They have been married for 33 years. In these 33 years, they have experienced ups and downs, but also reaped laughter and laughter. They have a deeper understanding and trust of each other, as well as more tolerance and tolerance. Although they are not related by blood, they have emotional ties.
Chen Lihua once made a will to leave all her 50 billion property to Chi Chongrui, while her children could only get 10 billion. This is her greatest gratitude and appreciation to Chi Chongrui, and it is also her biggest test and challenge to Chi Chongrui. She hopes that Chi Chongrui can make good use of the money, contribute to society, and leave some regrets for herself.
Chi Chongrui rejected Chen Lihua's will, saying that he didn't need the money, he just needed Chen Lihua. He said he didn't want Chen Lihua's children to be harmed, he just wanted Chen Lihua's family to be harmonious. He said he didn't want to make himself greedy and vain, he just wanted to keep himself innocent and good.
Recently, Chi Chongrui appeared on the live broadcast platform and sold a bracelet of 4,800 yuan. Some say he is poor, some say he is bored, some say he is old and confused. But in fact, Chi Chongrui just wants to find some of his own value and sense of existence. He just wanted to express his hobbies and emotions in his own way. He just wants to prove his ability and charisma with his own efforts.
The marriage between Chi Chongrui and Chen Lihua may not be as romantic and sweet as we understand it. But it is a kind of truth and determination. It does not need external evaluation and recognition, it only needs inner belief and support. It does not need formal pompousness and falsehood, it only needs to be prosaic and sincere in substance.
Everyone has the right to choose their own lifestyle, and each relationship has its own meaning of existence value. We don't need to blame and ridicule other people's choices, we just need to respect and understand other people's feelings. We don't need to envy and envy the happiness of others, we just need to work hard and create our own happiness.
