The first acquaintance and first love of two drama school students
In the summer of 1982, two young men and women from the School of Drama met on campus. Zhou Yemang, a male student, is a sophomore in the acting department, with an introverted personality and excellent grades, and is deeply loved by teachers.
Xi Meijuan, a female student, is a freshman in the acting department, lively and cheerful, enthusiastic and enthusiastic, and soon became the organizer of social activities in the college.
During a literary performance, Xi Meijuan took the initiative to find Zhou Yemang and invited the talented but socially disliked senior to participate in the performance. Zhou Yemang was a little hesitant at first, but seeing Xi Meijuan's bright smile and eager eyes, he finally nodded in agreement.
The two had frequent contact during rehearsals, and Zhou Yemang was gradually attracted by Xi Meijuan's smart demeanor and enthusiastic personality.
After the show, Zhou Yemang plucked up the courage to ask Xi Meijuan to take a walk by the campus lake. The June sky was blue and the breeze was blowing, and the two walked along the shaded paths of the school garden.
Zhou Yemang shyly expressed her deepening feelings for Xi Meijuan, and Xi Meijuan also blushed and said that she also liked Zhou Yemang. The lake was rippling, the red maples were colorful, and the two young hearts resonated at this moment.
They began to date frequently, and love at first sight quickly developed into a sweet relationship. The two are like-minded and aspire to become excellent theater actors, so the concepts of learning Xi and acting are highly compatible.
At the end of 1982, the two officially established their relationship. After graduating in 1983, the two were also assigned to work at the Shanghai Drama Theater, performing one wonderful role after another on the stage, which made their early acting careers.
Mixed joys and sorrows in the course of struggle
After several years of accumulation, Zhou Yemang and Xi Meijuan have grown into new stars on the drama stage. In 1988, the two co-starred in the drama "Chinese Dream", playing a pair of young men and women who struggle to pursue their dreams.
Their seamless collaboration perfectly captured the romantic spirit of the era and was well received by audiences and critics alike. In the end, this drama won the Plum Blossom Award that year, and the popularity of the two also rose, becoming popular rising stars.
Career success not only brings fame and a sense of achievement, but the relationship between the two also warms up in this cooperation. The rivalry in the play has linked their hearts more closely than ever before, and the sweet love off the stage has been perfectly brought to the stage.
The tiredness and annoyance of the newlywed are swept away in the joy of success, and the two as husband and wife rediscover their original passion.
In 1993, Zhou Yemang got the opportunity to study abroad through the selection. Before leaving, the two hugged each other and cried at the airport, and Zhou Yemang promised Xi Meijuan that he would speed up his return from school.
The loneliness of a foreign country made Zhou Yemang miss his hometown lover even more, and finally returned to China a year later, and the two hugged each other excitedly. Soon after returning to China, Xi Meijuan came with the good news that she was pregnant with Zhou Yemang's flesh and blood again.
However, the good times did not last long, not long after the birth of the child in 1994, Zhou Yemang filed for divorce. This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the two, and the originally happy life fell apart overnight.
Xi Meijuan hugged her newborn child and cried bitterly, while Zhou Yemang silently packed her luggage and left this once warm little home. No one knew what secret was hidden behind this sudden change, and the two hearts that were once closely connected were separated and drifted apart.
Bearing the name of "scumbag" for 27 years
After the divorce, Zhou Yemang did not choose to live a low-key life, and he soon remarried a woman Wang Zhixia who was 7 years younger than him. At the wedding of the two, Wang Zhixia was charming and moving, and Zhou Yemang was not beautiful.
This scene was widely reported by the media, and the outside world was in an uproar, and Zhou Yemang was quickly labeled as a "scumbag".
In the eyes of the public, Zhou Yemang obviously abandoned his wife and newborn child first, and then immediately married other women, which can be said to be a typical negative man.
Although Zhou Yemang was given an extremely negative title, his marriage and career did not seem to be affected much, and he still had a successful career and a happy family.
At the same time, Xi Meijuan chose to remain silent, never mentioning the reason for her breakup with Zhou Yemang, and did not try to clarify the matter. She is still focused on her acting career, trying to play one wonderful role after another.
This made the outside world even more firm in the view that "Zhou Yemang is a scumbag", because in their opinion, Xi Meijuan's silence means that Zhou Yemang has indeed done something sorry for her.
Although 27 years have passed, whenever Xi Meijuan's new drama or movie is released, Zhou Yemang's scolding of "scumbag" will be turned out again and hyped.
Zhou Yemang was very aggrieved in his heart, but for the sake of his family and career, he could only continue to swallow his anger and let this stigma accompany him for the rest of his life. He felt how unfair this decades-long life was, but there was nothing he could do.
It wasn't until this year that Zhou Yemang finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided to fight back against the stigma through legal means. He believes that time will prove his innocence, and that if the truth is revealed, he will be able to regain his reputation.
The truth is out
After enduring 27 years of criticism, Zhou Yemang finally chose to fight back. He issued a statement saying that he was not the legendary "scumbag", and the child was probably not his flesh and blood.
This explosive remark immediately caused an uproar on the Internet, and the names of the two instantly appeared on the hot search.
In the statement, Zhou Yemang wondered, why did he file for divorce as soon as the child was born? Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but speculate whether Xi Meijuan had cheated during Zhou Yemang's trip abroad, so the child's biological father could be someone else.
Soon, someone broke the news that Xi Meijuan did have an improper relationship between men and women back then. The whistleblower disclosed in detail Xi Meijuan's ambiguous date with a certain male star, which was shocking.
If this is true, then the image of "justice" that Xi Meijuan has maintained for years of silence will be ruined.
More importantly, Zhou Yemang said that he had entrusted a lawyer to take legal measures to make the truth come out through identification. He wants justice for the wrongs he has suffered for 27 years.
If the DNA results prove that the child is really not Zhou Yemang's, then public opinion will be forced to re-examine the case.
We noticed that in this storm of public opinion, Xi Meijuan still chose to be silent. Her reputation and image are being challenged like never before, and the only thing she can do is wait for the DNA results to come back.
Whether she did wrong back then or not, now the truth will be revealed, and this will be the final judgment of their marriage.
No matter what the result is, we all hope that the two old artists can let go of their past grievances, face the doubts and regrets in this marriage, and give each other an explanation and result.
Perhaps truth speaks louder than words, and this is not only a judgment of them, but also a review of that period of history, and we look forward to a just and equitable outcome.
Tranquility is still full of scandals
As ordinary people, we sincerely hope that the two old artists can abandon the mustard of the past, understand and forgive each other, and spend their old age. After all, life is short, and seeing gray hair growing, gaining inner peace is far more important than who is right and who is wrong.
We look forward to them repairing the broken relationship, hugging each other and crying, apologizing and expressing regret for the misunderstanding and pain they once had. It may take a great deal of courage to accept reality and forgiveness, but the joy of reconciliation will surely outweigh all of that.
At the same time, we call on the public to give the two veteran artists private space, stop digging through old accounts and adding fuel to the fire, and let them take a curtain call amid flowers and applause, and enjoy the last days of their lives.
Those scandals will eventually be forgotten by the years, and their wonderful performances will remain in people's hearts forever.
Of course, the possibility of reconciliation is slim, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable. If the two can't let go and choose to continue attacking each other, it is beyond reproach. We should not impose value judgments, but only wish them to come out of their pain and find the meaning of life.
No matter what the road ahead is, we hope that these two veteran artists can find the wisdom and courage to face the final journey of life. Regain inner peace and heal past wounds with overflowing love and tolerance.
We will continue to support them and bless them with kindness in this remarkable journey of life. In the end, may they all find their own peace and ease.
