Chi Chongrui, Chinese mainland actor, has debuted for many years and has countless works.
The mention of this name may be unfamiliar to many people.
However, as long as it comes to his classic role - Tang Monk, everyone here must be familiar with it.
When Chi Chongrui was in the limelight, in order to save his mother, he announced that he would quit the circle and get married.
The rest of his life was also accompanied by the label of "soft rice man".
But is the life of being raised by a rich woman really that good?
First, the destined Tang monk
Chi Chongrui was born in Beijing in 1952 into a fifth-generation Peking Opera family.
Since childhood, I have loved Peking Opera and want to be a Peking Opera performer like my predecessors.
But because he was too short, he finally had no chance with Peking Opera, and after careful consideration, he decided to embark on the path of an actor.
Although he did not become a Peking Opera performer, the edification he received since childhood will accompany him for a lifetime.
After graduating from Shanghai Theater Academy, Chi Chongrui entered the China TV Drama Production Center and became a professional actor.
In 1984, Chi Chongrui, who had just finished filming a TV series, returned to the group to receive his salary, and met director Yang Jie around the corner.
Director Yang Jie is worried about the role of the Tang monk in "Journey to the West".
In fact, before that day, there were already two Tang monks in "Journey to the West".
The first was Wang Yue selected by director Yang Jie at Nortel in 1982, but he only shot 4 episodes.
Because the shooting environment was very hard at that time, Wang Yue wanted to make a movie again, and finally gave up because the schedule could not be coordinated.
After that, director Yang Jie took a fancy to Xu Shaohua, and his image was very suitable for Tang Monk.
And the performance in the daughter's country was very good, and some people even speculated that there was a relationship between Xu Shaohua and the king of the daughter's country.
Originally, everything went well, however, Xu Shaohua heard about the salaries of other actors one day, and Tang Monk was the least.
Xu Shaohua listened to it, he couldn't sit still, obviously he had a lot of scenes, why was the salary very low?
In a fit of anger, he also quit the crew.
When he met Chi Chongrui, director Yang Jie was thinking about where to find a suitable Tang monk.
Just when she was helpless, she saw Chi Chongrui.
The moment the four eyes were facing each other, Director Yang Jie's eyes lit up, and he thought: Isn't this the Tang monk Ben Monk!
The director who returned to his senses immediately stopped Chi Chongrui and called the scene teacher.
When Teacher Field Ji saw Chi Chongrui, he also panicked for a short time.
Chi Chongrui, regardless of his appearance or behavior, was completely in line with the Tang Monk.
Therefore, the two teachers said on the spot that they wanted Chi Chongrui to play Tang Monk.
Chi Chongrui, who just heard the news, was very confused and a little nervous, afraid that he would live up to the director's expectations.
But it turns out that there is no problem with director Yang Jie's vision, and Chi Chongrui did make Tang Monk vivid.
Even if there are countless remakes of "Journey to the West" later, the Tang monk played by Chi Chongrui is still very good now.
In the play, the Tang monk, who is not close to women, worships under the pomegranate skirt of the rich woman in real life.
So, why did Chi Chongrui make such a decision? What about the rich life?
Second, a wealthy marriage that respects each other
In 1990, 38-year-old Chi Chongrui announced that he would marry Chen Lihua, chairman of the Hong Kong Group who was 11 years older than him.
At that time, Chen Lihua already had a marriage and had three children.
As soon as the news spread, there were many unpleasant sounds inside and outside the circle.
For Chi Chongrui, the hit of "Journey to the West" has brought him countless praise, and also made him win the hearts of thousands of female fans.
However, just when his career was rising, making such a decision was difficult for fans to accept.
Some people even say that Chi Chongrui eats soft rice and has no dignity.
In the face of doubts from the outside world, Chi Chongrui was unmoved, and resolutely quit the entertainment industry and returned to his family.
Chen Lihua and Chi Chongrui's married life can be described as respectful to each other.
At that time, Chen Lihua was busy with work and was not young, and the two decided not to have another child.
Chi Chongrui is very careful and patient with Chen Lihua's three children.
But the stepfather is not very good, Chi Chongrui once said in an interview that the three children in the family often "bully" him.
Fortunately, Chi Chongrui's personality in life is more similar to that of Tang Monk, and he is gentle and indisputable.
With Chi Chongrui's efforts, his relationship with his three children is getting better and better, to the extent that he can get along like friends.
Even because of Chen Lihua's son's words, Chi Chongrui has maintained a bald head for decades.
And the relationship between Chi Chongrui and Chen Lihua is very polite.
As a husband who is in trouble, Chi Chongrui has a difference in identity, and his attitude towards his wife is very respectful.
Chen Lihua said that Chi Chongrui never called Chen Lihua by her name at home, but respectfully called her "you".
And for decades of serving each other, often saying things like "you can eat".
As we all know, the more wealthy the family, the more rules.
In Chen Lihua's home, everyone is headed by her, and no one in her family dares to eat first if she does not move her chopsticks.
Such rules are difficult to accept in the eyes of netizens, and some even feel that Chi Chongrui has no status in this family.
However, for Chen Lihua, she is busy with her work and is grateful for Chi Chongrui's contribution.
Although the two get along very officially, the relationship between the two is very strong.
There was also media breaking the news that Chen Lihua indicated in her will that after her death, a small part of her inheritance would be given to her children, and the rest would all be given to Chi Chongrui.
The media estimates that these legacies have exceeded 40 billion.
In fact, for the relationship between the two, many netizens speculated that Chi Chongrui took a fancy to Chen Lihua's money.
But, is that really the case? Is this wealthy marriage mixed with interests?
3. The grace of the Mother is promised by one's body
In Chi Chongrui's life, something happened that changed his fate.
At that time, Chi Chongrui was already famous in the entertainment industry.
At this time, his mother suddenly fell ill and was admitted to the hospital, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Chi Chongrui.
Chi Chongrui, who had never experienced such a thing, was inevitably a little at a loss.
Coupled with the medical expenses required for treatment, it is not a small amount.
Just when Chi Chongrui was in a hurry, Chen Lihua appeared.
Not only did he pay all the medical bills that Chi Chongrui's mother needed, but he also accompanied him.
Even during Chi Chongrui's mother's hospitalization, Chen Lihua did not visit the hospital.
Chen Lihua's every move, Chi Chongrui looked at it in his eyes, and he was very grateful in his heart.
Later, after his mother recovered from illness, Chi Chongrui was not afraid of gossip from the outside world and decisively chose to fall in love with Chen Lihua.
After learning about this matter, countless netizens seemed to have found the truth.
It was speculated that Chi Chongrui was only together because Chen Lihua paid for the treatment of his mother.
In fact, Chi Chongrui and Chen Lihua met between this matter.
At that time, the two people met at the cultural relics field because they both liked cultural relics.
Moreover, the two also have mutual friends, so it is logical that the two have a connection.
Even when Chi Chongrui was filming "Journey to the West", the two had a face-to-face photo.
Chen Lihua, who was born into a wealthy family, appreciates ancient cultural relics and also likes Peking Opera.
These are not difficult things for Chi Chongrui, and the two have a good conversation.
After a long time, Chi Chongrui found that he liked Chen Lihua, and Chen Lihua was also deeply attracted to this man who was eleven years younger than himself.
But in addition to the age gap between the two, there is also a gap in value.
Even though Chi Chongrui's worth is not low, it is almost incomparable with Chen Lihua.
This also led to bad remarks from all sides after the two announced their relationship.
Looking at the criticism on the Internet, Chi Chongrui had the idea of retreating from this relationship for the first time.
So, why did Chi Chongrui choose Chen Lihua in the end? Is it to repay the favor, or is it really affectionate?
Fourth, the seed is not a fish, and the joy of knowing the fish
Since Chi Chongrui's mother recovered from illness, he immediately announced that he would marry Chen Lihua and would quit the entertainment industry.
In this regard, most netizens did not understand it, and began to scold him as a soft rice man.
Some people also said that if it is just to repay the grace of the mother, there are many ways, and it is not necessary to choose to make a promise.
In fact, Chi Chongrui's choice was not impulsive, but the result of careful consideration.
After Chi Chongrui and Chen Lihua began to fall in love, Chi Chongrui encountered the first online violence in his acting career.
At that stage, Chi Chongrui's mother was hospitalized again because of a sudden serious illness.
The matter of public opinion has not yet been resolved, and new problems will follow.
When Chi Chongrui couldn't start, it was Chen Lihua who was always by his side.
It was also Chen Lihua who found a friend to introduce a good doctor and treat Chi Chongrui's mother.
During this difficult period, Chen Lihua has always been by Chi Chongrui's side to comfort him and help him take care of his mother together.
Under the pressure of public opinion, Chi Chongrui, who has a withdrawal mentality, can no longer ignore his heart.
This may be the reason why the two chose to withstand the pressure and be together.
After marriage, although Chi Chongrui gradually faded out of the public's vision, netizens were still very curious about his wealthy life.
Even if it has been clarified that the two are together because of true love, some people think that Chi Chongrui is a soft rice man and a spineless person.
However, everyone's life is their own choice, and netizens feel that Chi Chongrui's life is very difficult.
But the people themselves said that they were very satisfied with their current life.
epilogue
Unknowingly, Chi Chongrui and Chen Lihua have been working hand in hand for decades.
For the relationship between the two, some people doubt and some envy.
But from the photos published on social platforms, you can see how happy the lives of the two are.
The Sri Lankan people know that we are not Chi Chongrui, we cannot deeply understand his ideas, but we show respect.
I also hope that Chi Chongrui and Chen Lihua can accompany each other until they are old, and the white head is not separated!
