When her classmates saw that she didn't care about people, they said that she was an "iceberg face".
The child's world is so simple, but it is also cruel and ruthless. Chen Derong can only Xi accustomed to being alone, and his heart has become sensitive and introverted. Until one day, a talent scout accidentally saw her photo and was shocked.

However, Qiong Yao was not discouraged, she said solemnly: "I am willing to wait for Chen Derong to grow up, and I must make her the heroine of my play." So, Qiong Yao waited patiently for four years, and finally signed 18-year-old Chen Derong in 1994.
With perseverance and perseverance, Qiong Yao gave Chen Derong an important turning point in his life. Under the careful cultivation of Qiong Yao, Chen Derong studied hard and worked hard to adapt to the intensity of the crew's shooting.

Overnight, the beauty that once suffocated the audience became a stumbling block.
Chen Derong realized the importance of external packaging for actresses, but he was helpless. She tried to transform through the modern drama "Rushing to Shanghai", wanting to change the weak image she had been creating.
However, the show still did not get the expected attention after it was broadcast. Chen Derong's transformation road has come to an end.
After entering his 40s, Chen Derong only chose to shoot costume dramas, because this can hide wrinkles through gorgeous costumes. But the scenes are getting fewer and fewer, and new dramas are constantly being replaced by young flowers.
Failed auditions again and again left her at a loss. The former star gradually has a lonely shadow.
In 2020, the 48-year-old Chen Derong chose to participate in the talent show, hoping to regroup. But the judges' criticism was like cold water, thinking that her performance was exaggerated and contrived, and it could not keep up with the times.
Chen Derong reluctantly chose to leave, but there was no chance of turning back. Her acting career seems to have come to an end.
The years are not forgiving, and the face is not eternal. The beauty of the past failed to exchange for a long-term career, but became a stumbling block to Chen Derong's career. Where she goes from here remains an unsolved mystery.

At the age of 23, Chen Derong met and fell in love with Wang Wenshan, president of Taiwan's United Daily News, and began a marriage that was destined to be short-lived.

In 2011, a class reunion reunited Chen Derong with his old friend Wang Zance. Wang Zance had a crush on Chen Derong in his early years, and when he reunited, he mustered up the courage to confess, and the two hit it off and entered the marriage hall.
Wang Zance took great care of Chen Derong and gave her a necklace worth millions to celebrate her birthday, letting her be spicy and unstoppable.
However, the good times did not last long, and the life of gathering less and leaving more made the two drift apart. Wang Zance is ambitious, runs to the mall all year round, and has very little time to go home. Chen Derong is busy with work and rarely goes home for reunion.
In 2019, the divorce agreement came to an end, and the 8-year marriage ended.

The youthful and invincible Chen Derong has experienced a failed marriage, and love has no charm for her.
Current situation and perception: flowers are sparsely populated
The years are unforgiving, and time is like an arrow. Chen Derong, the former flower of youth, is no longer what it used to be after the wind and rain.
She was once in full swing and her popularity soared, with millions of fans screaming for her. The gentle girl in white in Qiong Yao's drama is deeply reflected in the hearts of the audience. Now, there is no more the ups and downs of the plot on the screen, and there is no dialogue of the mountain alliance and the sea oath, everything has become a cloud of smoke and has come to naught.
She also had the sweetness of the first bloom of love, and the wedding vows were full of happy expectations. However, the good times did not last long, and the breakdown of her marriage made her red-eyed. The former tenderness and sweetness are no match for indifferent reality after all.
The passage of time did not give Chen Derong the grace of eternal beauty, and the trough of her career made her lose her former halo. We should not laugh at the aging of an actress, she has brought enough wonderful things to touch the hearts of countless people.
Life is not perfect, but it is gorgeous and gorgeous. Each and every one of us has had a wonderful moment. Chen Derong deserves to be remembered because she lit up this era with her youth.
The surging of those years will always be worthy of memories.
