Since its broadcast, the 87th version of "Dream of Red Mansions" has become an insurmountable classic in the history of Chinese television.
Forty years of smoke and clouds are fleeting, and after a big dream in the Red Chamber, most of the people in the play of that year have now entered middle and old age.
It's just that the walled city of the Red Chamber, some people walked in, and they never came out again.
It seems to be a fateful cause, the actors who participated in the 87th version of "Dream of Red Mansions", many people's real lives coincide with the fate of the people in the play.
Among these people, in addition to Lin's sister Chen Xiaoxu, who died young, the most embarrassing is An Wen, the actor of Qingwen back then.
On a blossoming spring day in 1968, An Wen was born in a well-known family in Tianjin. Her original name is Zhang Jinglin, her parents are well-known scholars, with a prominent family and a rich and prosperous life.
An Wen showed her talent for intelligence and dexterity when she was a child, and her parents pampered her like a pearl in the palm of their hands.
However, An Wen did not develop the habit of pampering, but studied hard and learned various knowledge and skills.
Especially at the age of 10, a professor at the Central Academy of Opera discovered An Wen's love and talent for the art of opera, and recruited her directly to study Peking Opera.
While at the academy, An Wen met her lifelong mentor, Peking Opera master Zhang Junqiu.
Zhang Junqiu strictly required An Wen to work basic skills, An Wen was diligent and studious, and her progress was rapid. Zhang Junqiu fully affirmed An Wen's talent and believed that she was a talent that was rare in 50 years.
Under Zhang Junqiu's careful guidance, An Wen's Peking Opera skills have greatly increased, laying a solid foundation for her skills.
In 1985, An Wen, who was only 17 years old, successfully played the role of "Mrs. Xiaowen" in the TV series "Four Generations in the Same House" and officially entered the entertainment industry.
The excellent performance allowed the director to see her potential to become a rising star.
A year later, under the promotion of director Wang Fulin, An Wen finally stood out from many competitors through layers of selection and successfully starred in the role of "Qingwen" in the dream of the Red Mansion.
An Wen has a deep understanding of this complex and contradictory role, coupled with solid basic skills, her performance is vivid and intriguing.
It is said that after each day of filming, other actors have to train extra in the crew, only An Wen does not need any adjustments, and does not need NG at all.
In 1987, An Wen won industry recognition for her acting skills in "Dream of Red Mansions", became famous in one fell swoop, and reached the peak of her career.
However, at the peak of her career, An Wen's mother died of illness, which was a huge blow to An Wen. Before dying, her mother changed her name to "An Wen" in the hope that her daughter would live in peace.
This may also imply that An Wen's life is about to face changes, and a man who will change her fate is about to appear.
In 1987, An Wen participated in a singer competition held in Beijing.
She is already famous, but she has a lively personality and retains her enthusiasm for the stage, so she signed up for this competition out of interest.
In the judges' seat, a 30-year-old man caught her attention - he was the famous musician Su Yue.
It is said that women are born of love, and girls have always been like moths to the fire.
An Wen, who is in her early twenties, met 31-year-old Su Yue like this, fell in love at first sight, and has followed all the way ever since.
Born into a musical family, Su Yue studied piano and violin since childhood, and later studied at the Central Conservatory of Music.
He has made small achievements in the pop music scene, and has composed many popular golden songs, including "Blood-stained Style" and "Loess High Slope".
Not only can he create, but he is also an excellent singer and performer.
The two fell in love at first sight and began a sweet love.
For An Wen, this is not only the first love, but also a spiritual intoxication - meeting a soulmate who is like-minded with herself.
In order to pursue An Wen, Su Yue took care of her and held her in the palm of her hand to care.
He sang to her with a heart of a child, sent her flowers, and took her on a tour of Beijing's cultural monuments.
A year later, Su Yue was preparing to go to Tokyo, Japan for further study, and An Wen resolutely decided to follow him to study in a foreign country.
For a woman who has never left her hometown, this is undoubtedly a huge decision. But without the slightest hesitation, she got up and followed her lover on a new journey.
The two rented a small 6-square-meter room in Tokyo, and life was very difficult.
And An Wen was originally the proud daughter of heaven and had never suffered a little grievance, which was undoubtedly a huge challenge for her.
However, Su Yue's meticulous care made An Wen not feel how difficult it was. Every day, Su Yue would carefully prepare her favorite dishes, and even take care of household chores such as laundry.
Three years later, in 1991, they officially registered their marriage in Tokyo and began their married life.
A few years later, Su Yue completed her studies and returned to China to develop her career, and An Wen also gave up her studies in Japan to return to China in order to accompany her lover.
At that time, An Wen was studying for a doctorate in Japan, but she gave up everything again for love.
After returning to China, Su Yue started a business and set up a company, allowing An Wen to live a carefree life in just a few years.
An Wen lives in a mansion, with a special car transfer, a nanny at home to take care of housework, and can spend money on shopping as she likes.
Until 2010, Su Yue was imprisoned on suspicion of fraud and sentenced to life imprisonment.
The reason was that Su Yue made large-scale risky investments in order to expand its business, and the result was serious losses.
In order to conceal the problem, Su Yue carried out false transaction financing, and forged contracts to cheat huge loans, and was finally caught.
At that time, after An Wen learned the bad news, she couldn't believe her ears.
She immediately ran around and sold her luxury car, but it was far from enough to fill the deficit.
In order to raise funds, An Wen can only pay for it out of her own pocket, take on various scenes, hold concerts, write autobiographies to make money, and even sing in nightclubs.
In 9 years, An Wen paid off a huge debt of more than 11 million yuan on her own, which also alleviated Su Yue's 15-year prison sentence.
In 2018, 55-year-old An Wen finally saw hope and thought that 58-year-old Su Yue would soon be able to get out of prison and reunite with her.
However, at this time, she received the bad news that Su Yue was suffering from terminal cancer.
Less than a month later, Su Yue died at the age of 59. An Wen, who was 59 years old at the time, fell into unprecedented pain.
It took her years to come out of her grief and find herself again.
"In fact, a person always has to rely on himself, and no one can always be with you."
After experiencing this joke of fate, An Wen re-examined the meaning of life.
She understands that life will go on, and she will eventually be reduced to nothing. Now, An Wen lives a low-key life, but she looks much more relieved.
"I wake up every day now and say to myself, live well and grow old." Instead of questioning the torment that fate inflicted on her, she learns to be grateful for the good she once had.
On the road of life, we are all looking for our own answers.
Although An Wen's life is not satisfactory, she still persevered, believing that spring will eventually usher in.
We say that the greatest luck of those who love each other is to be able to go to the white head with each other. But life is not a fairy tale after all, and feelings are not a matter of one person.
Some people survive the years, win the trivial, but lose to the fate of the other party. "An Wen" is like that.
