When we recall the classics of Chinese TV dramas, especially costume mythological dramas, few works can remain deeply in the hearts of the audience like the 86th edition of "Journey to the West".
Not only has the show won over a wide audience with its superb performances, unique special effects, and engaging storyline, but it also has a hard-working, creative production team behind it.
Among them, Tang Monk Chi Chongrui is one who cannot be ignored.
Different choices in and out of the play
Life is like a play, everyone plays their role on their own stage.
And when the story on stage is intertwined with reality, it becomes a good story.
Speaking of Chi Chongrui and Chen Lihua, this pair of lovers straddling art and wealth, age and social class, their story is the perfect combination of this stage and reality.
We are all familiar with the Tang monk in "Journey to the West", who gave up his feelings for the queen of his daughter's country for the sake of faith and mission, however, Chi Chongrui, the actor who created the image of the Tang monk, walked a path contrary to the plot.
He chose to build a legendary love story with Chen Lihua, a strong woman.
Chi Chongrui, an actor born into a Peking Opera family, carries the same elegance and gentleness as he plays, as if he played the role of a Tang monk.
And when such an actor meets a wealthy woman with a prominent background, in fact, this is destined to be an extraordinary fate.
At first meeting, many people thought that the two were too far apart.
From age to identity to life experience, there seems to be an insurmountable gap between them.
But just like the classic plot in many love stories, the two are in frequent contact due to common hobbies, and those seemingly huge differences are gradually dissolved in mutual understanding and mutual appreciation.
Chen Lihua, this rich woman, has always had her own weaknesses and unspeakable hidden in her heart, she seems to be strong, but in fact she also has her own vulnerability.
And when she treated Chi Chongrui sincerely, but was rejected by him three times, the torment and frustration of the soul can be imagined.
But the power of love is huge, when Chi Chongrui's mother fell ill, Chen Lihua did not hesitate to help, not because she wanted to capture Chi Chongrui's heart in this way, but because she really cared about him and was willing to pay for him.
Chi Chongrui is not an ungrateful person, and in the face of Chen Lihua's sincere emotions, the wall of his heart was finally knocked open.
Perhaps, love itself is a feeling, a deep, intense, feeling over thousands of rivers and mountains, the two finally come together, this is love, but also fate.
When they announced the news of their marriage, there was a lot of discussion about it.
Some people think it's a "big deal" act, others think it's a triumph of true love, but anyway, they choose to come together, which in itself is the best response.
A love that speaks louder than words
In the flashing entertainment industry, couples have various modes of getting along, but the relationship between Chi Chongrui and Chen Lihua is undoubtedly a unique existence.
The relationship between the two is almost like entering a classical love poem, rather than a bustling modern life full of right and wrong.
First of all, it is necessary to mention the so-called "rules" behind the wealthy family, speaking of the wealthy family, many people may think of the complex family power and money power intertwined behind the story.
Chi Chongrui and Chen Lihua's relationship, it is rumored that Chen Lihua set three rules for Chi Chongrui: do not have children, sleep in a good position, and cannot interrupt when talking.
Indeed, Chi Chongrui gave up his acting career for Chen Lihua.
This makes people think of the phrase "short hands, short mouths", however, Chi Chongrui himself once frankly said that "I accommodate her more", is this accommodation a dedication of true love, or is it due to some consideration? The real answer is known only to the two of them.
Chen Lihua, this strong woman, and Chi Chongrui's mode of getting along is really "respectful as a guest", there is not too much sweet talk between the two, nor has they shown too much intimacy to the outside world.
However, it is precisely this different mode of getting along with ordinary people that highlights the deep emotional foundation between them, and their titles, one is "Mr. Chi" and the other is "Chairman", so polite and alienated, but also particularly real.
It's a special way of showing emotions that doesn't require words or body language, but there is a deep affection in every detail.
Regarding the relationship between the two, there are various rumors and speculations on the Internet.
Some people say that Chi Chongrui is like a subordinate in front of Chen Lihua, or more like her assistant.
But is this really a problem? Every couple has their own unique way of getting along, as long as the two truly love each other, even how they get along is good.
Chi Chongrui once said, "I just like the domineering of the chairman, I am not afraid of her strength, I just like this kind of strong woman." Such a confession, true and straightforward.
In fact, Chi Chongrui is not only respectful to Chen Lihua, but also to his stepson and stepdaughter, so he is undoubtedly a man who respects the family and respects every family member, and his attitude towards the family is also worth learning from every man.
Back to the original topic, is Chi Chongrui and Chen Lihua's relationship bound by the giants?
The answer is yes, but this bondage is not so much brought about by money and power as it is brought by the deep feelings and sense of responsibility to the family between the two.
They found their way to get along in the giants, which is a true and deep love, which is rare in today's entertainment industry.
Is it for love or sanity?
What is love and what is money? In today's society, there is no money, and behind love and marriage are accompanied by endless discussions.
And the mention of Chi Chongrui and Chen Lihua's relationship has become a topic that people often talk about after tea.
Many people have asked Chi Chongrui: "Does he really love Chen Lihua?" "Is it for money, or sincerely?" "When you fall on a rich woman, do you get short-term prosperity and wealth or long-term bondage?"
Maybe he really doesn't love money, or maybe reason has the upper hand, the real Chi Chongrui rejected Chen Lihua's will to distribute his property, after all, he has no children and no daughters, if he accepts, I don't know what others will think.
Chi Chongrui's choice may be out of love, or out of reason.
But it is undeniable that he chose a lifestyle that he believes is most suitable for him, and in this wealthy family full of money and power, he found his place and stood for it.
