A talented dancing goddess
In 1979, a smart and clever girl Dong Xuan was born in a remote town in Heilongjiang. Although she grew up in a modest environment, she was still outstanding in her studies and ranked among the best in her studies.
But Dong Xuan's teachers all shook their heads and sighed when they saw her - this seemingly well-behaved girl was simply restless, never listened honestly in class, and was always distracted.
This also made her have an evaluation of "excellent grades but poor Xi attitude" in every final evaluation.
Fortunately, Dong Xuan showed a very high talent for dancing at a very young age, with agile and smooth movements, and full of rhythmic beauty. She was selected to be sent to the professional dance team for systematic training, and won the provincial dance competition championship at the age of 16.
In 2000, Dong Xuan, who was only 21 years old, was admitted to the acting major of Beijing Film Academy as he wished, and began to move towards his screen dream. In her first year of Xi, she was offered a small role through open casting, which gave her valuable performance experience.
In the graduation season 4 years later, Dong Xuan finally ushered in a turning point in her life - she played the heroine in the TV series "Snow Goddess Dragon" and became famous in one fell swoop. Since then, she has soared in the entertainment industry and has a bright future.
The romantic encounter of the golden boy and the girl
In 2009, 30-year-old Dong Xuan has become a first-line actress in the mainland. When participating in the recording of a large-scale variety show on Jiangsu Satellite TV, she met Gao Yunxiang, a popular student.
The two didn't have a crush on each other at first, and even didn't like each other when they first met. Gao Yunxiang felt that Dong Xuan's appearance was too different from what he imagined, and Dong Xuan also thought that Gao Yunxiang gave people a feeling of being too frivolous and fresh.
However, they soon found resonance in multiple collaborations. The theme of this episode of the show is Tanabata, and the director arranges the two as a "temporary couple". During the rehearsal, Gao Yunxiang found that Dong Xuan not only has an excellent appearance, but also has an independent and strong personality inside; And Dong Xuan also saw Gao Yunxiang's steady demeanor and delicate heart.
The two performed classic love songs affectionately on the stage, holding hands and hugging, and they were a little unable to extricate themselves.
After twists and turns, they finally confirmed their relationship. Gao Yunxiang began to prepare for the marriage proposal, and he put a note on Dong Xuan's windowsill to propose a romantic "pop-up" marriage.
Although there was no earth-shattering performance, Dong Xuan was moved by his simple sincerity. In August 2011, they solemnly married in the church in the presence of family and friends, and made a vow to grow old together.
The two are known as the "Golden Boy and Jade Girl" and are optimistic that they will enter the honeymoon fast lane.
The alleged sexual assault case led to a dramatic change in life
After marriage, Dong Xuan temporarily took a break from filming for three years in order to give birth, while Gao Yunxiang's career reached its peak - he became famous in one fell swoop with the TV series "The Legend of Miyue" and became one of the first-line male stars.
The two have a harmonious relationship and a happy life. However, just when Dong Xuan gave birth to her daughter with difficulty in 2016 and was about to make a comeback, a sex scandal by Gao Yunxiang turned their lives upside down.
In 2018, while filming a TV series in Australia, Gao Yunxiang was accused of sexual assault by the female screenwriter of the crew. The ironclad accusations instantly discredited him and ruined his career.
At the same time, Dong Xuan needs to face the dilemma of tearing up his future and changing his attitude with his relatives and friends. She was deeply distressed and desperate, but she only believed that her husband was innocent.
Even if her friends persuaded her to let go, she decided to mortgage her family property without hesitation and pay a sky-high bail to the Australian court, just to let Gao Yunxiang regain his freedom.
More than a year later, the final verdict of the court came out: Gao Yunxiang only participated in a multiplayer game. The cold facts made Dong Xuan nervously broken, she couldn't laugh or cry.
Former friends gloated and publicly ridiculed her for being "forgiving the leader". Dong Xuan couldn't bear all this anymore, and part of her heart died. In order to redeem herself, she filed for divorce in 2019.
After the divorce, I regained my career and self
After experiencing the painful lessons brought about by the marriage change, Dong Xuan finally chose to be reborn. She no longer escapes the fact that she has passed the age of confusion, and the low period of the previous years has given her a new understanding of the role of age.
For example, in the TV series "You Fei", Dong Xuan resolutely decided to play the role of an "old lady". Many actors are reluctant to take on this role, but now Dong Xuan not only doesn't care about the burden of age, but challenges himself through different roles and goes to the next level in performance.
After the divorce, Dong Xuan devoted all his efforts to his career. She is no longer bothered by the people who owed her in the past, but lives for herself wholeheartedly. Through the delicate portrayal of the character's emotions, the current Dong Xuan vividly sways himself in the play.
She also regained her former self-confidence and cheerfulness in life, and was no longer bound by her past frustrated marriage.
Today's Dong Xuan has successfully washed away the notoriety of "forgiving the sect leader" and returned to the field of vision of the public and the audience. She has frequently appeared in many popular variety shows, and has won countless fans with her sincere and warm personality.
Whether it is in her career or in her spirit, she has sublimated to a new height. The hardships of the past did not defeat Dong Xuan, but allowed her to thrive and shine more brightly on the stage of life.
