His father was a quartermaster in the Kuomintang army, surrendered in the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and lived a small life incognito in his hometown. This special family background has made Zhang Yimou bear a lot of pressure and responsibility since he was a child. Under his father's education, he gradually realized the difficulties of life and the difficulties of life. Since he was a child, he has had a determination to work hard, and he believes that as long as he works hard, he will be able to change his destiny.
With such a family background, Zhang Yimou has become a "phoenix man" since he was a child, and he knows that he needs to put in more effort and sweat to gain a foothold in this society.
Zhang Yimou is a famous Chinese director and producer, his introverted and withdrawn personality, due to his "bad background", he has no friends in school, and can only devote all his time and energy to Xi in order to achieve something in his studies. He is very hardworking and has always maintained his grades at the top of his grade.
His painting skills are very high, whether it is sketching or oil painting, he is especially skilled in portraiture. As a result, he not only gets a lot of attention in school, but also shows great enthusiasm and talent in extracurricular activities. He deeply knows that only by Xi studying hard and studying hard can he gain a firm foothold in this highly competitive society and realize his dreams.
He has clear plans and goals for his future, and he has been working hard to achieve them.
It was in 1965, and Zhang Yimou was in his second year of junior high school. That year, a girl named Xiao Hua transferred to their class. Xiao Hua is from Beijing, and her parents are both old revolutionaries, and in Zhang Yimou's opinion, she is simply a "Bai Fumei" who is a stumbling block on the road to success.
Zhang Yimou has had many brilliant achievements in the film industry, and has tried many different types of films, but he has always had a regret, that is, he cannot escape the fate of being called "national teacher", and he will never be able to get rid of the shadow of being bound to Chinese cultural traditions. He was depressed and had lost faith in the future. However, when he met a girl named Li Ying, he suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.
He decides to do everything in his power to win the girl's affection, because she may be the key to his escape from the predicament of fate.
Although Zhang Yimou is a man of great achievements in the field of photography, he has not yet achieved much in the field of film. His girlfriend Xiao Hua has always been very supportive of him and has always encouraged him to be brave enough to pursue his dreams. Xiao Hua's family background is very good, her father is a well-known cultural worker, and her mother is also a very educated lady.
She also has a wide range of contacts, and her friends are some of the most influential figures in the world of film and culture.
During the time when Zhang Yimou and Xiao Hua met, they often went to the movies together and talked about movies together. Zhang Yimou likes Xiao Hua very much, he thinks Xiao Hua is very smart, thoughtful, and very kind. Xiao Hua also likes Zhang Yimou very much, she thinks Zhang Yimou is very talented and very persevering.

They also went to some film festivals together, and Zhang Yimou's work also won some awards. At the festival, Zhang Yimou met some very famous directors and actors, and he also got some opportunities.
With the passage of time, the relationship between Zhang Yimou and Xiao Hua has also undergone some changes. They began to talk about the future together, about marriage together. Xiao Hua's parents also liked Zhang Yimou very much, and they felt that Zhang Yimou was a very promising young man. Zhang Yimou's friends are also very supportive of him being with Xiao Hua, they think that Xiao Hua is a very good girl, and Zhang Yimou will be happy with her.
In order not to let Xiao Hua's favorability decline, Zhang Yimou can be said to have tried his best. He often spares no effort to deal with various affairs, trying not to make Xiao Hua feel the slightest dissatisfaction and disappointment.
On the road of love, only by expressing one's feelings to each other by writing letters can you truly enter each other's hearts and truly understand each other. Just like in the long journey of life, if you want to keep moving forward hand in hand, you need to support each other and share weal and woe.
In 1968, after years of hard work and struggle, Zhang Yimou finally graduated from high school. However, this joy did not last long, because he was about to be selected to participate in the "go to the mountains and go to the countryside" movement in Qianxian County. He realized that this might be his last chance to be with Xiao Hua, because life and environment could change dramatically after going to the countryside.
So, director Zhang Yimou spent a whole month and carefully wrote a 40-page love letter to express his deep love for Xiao Hua.
In the letter, he narrated his current situation, and also revealed his own heart. He said that his life is currently at a low point, and he feels that he is so lonely, so inferior, and so helpless. His heart was full of hesitation, doubt, and unwillingness. He was very dissatisfied with his current situation, he felt that his life was in bondage, he longed for freedom, he longed for his own ideals.
He knows that he needs to change, he needs to be reborn, he needs to become stronger and more capable, he needs Xiao Hua's help, he needs Xiao Hua's guidance, he needs Xiao Hua's encouragement He has a strong love for Xiao Hua, he hopes that Xiao Hua can understand him, be considerate of him, and support him He said that he dreams of one day being able to change his fate and realize the value of life, but he knows that this requires him to work hard, to struggle, to struggle, he needs Xiao Hua to be such an empathetic bosom friend, he hopes that Xiao Hua can accompany him, can encourage him, can help him。
He sincerely hoped that Xiao Hua, who was capable, would be able to follow him to Qianxian County and jointly face all kinds of difficulties and challenges that might arise in the future.
Xiao Hua, who received the letter, was deeply moved. Despite the strong opposition of her parents, she still firmly decided to follow her love and follow Zhang Yimou to Qianxian County to cut the queue. She believes that no matter how many difficulties and challenges lie ahead, as long as she is with Zhang Yimou, she can overcome them. She understands that the reason why she is so resolute is because she loves Zhang Yimou deeply, and she wants to accompany the person she loves the most to get through the difficulties.
Xiao Hua and Zhang Yimou were once husband and wife, and the two spent a good time in Qianxian. Xiao Hua's care for Zhang Yimou can be said to be meticulous, she takes care of Zhang Yimou's daily life very carefully, often washes and cooks for him, and sews clothes for him herself. Xiao Hua is like a good wife, silently paying for Zhang Yimou. Zhang Yimou is often busy with work, and Xiao Hua took the initiative to visit him in order to let him work with peace of mind, and help him deal with some tedious household chores.
It can be said that Xiao Hua is Zhang Yimou's right-hand man in life, and she silently pays for Zhang Yimou in her own way.
In 1975, Xiao Hua was very actively preparing for college, but at this time, she met Zhang Yimou, and the two of them soon fell in love. In order to be able to be with Zhang Yimou, Xiao Hua decided to give up the opportunity to go to college and marry Zhang Yimou, Xiao Hua believes that the two of them can create a better future together. Xiao Hua is a very brave person, she is willing to live a simple life with Zhang Yimou, she believes that the love between the two of them is very precious and worth guarding for a lifetime.
In 1978, with the help of the famous director Xiao Hua, Zhang Yimou was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy as he wished, and chose to study Xi photography. This is his long-standing dream, and through continuous hard work and perseverance, it has finally been realized. After Xiao Hua learned the news, he returned to work in Xi'an and began to work hard to earn money in order to support Zhang Yimou's studies at the Beijing Film Academy.
He understands that this is a very important opportunity for Zhang Yimou, and he hopes that he can provide Zhang Yimou with the necessary support, so that he can devote himself to his studies and constantly improve his photography skills and artistic attainments.
In Zhang Yimou's career, Xiao Hua has always been his strong backing, whether in his work or in his life, Xiao Hua has given Zhang Yimou great support and help, and their marriage has also experienced many difficulties and challenges, but they have always supported and understood each other, which has also laid a solid foundation for Zhang Yimou's successful career.
Successfully admitted to the film academy and began the take-off journey of the film industry.
In 1978, 28-year-old Zhang Yimou, with the assistance of Xiao Hua, was successfully admitted to Beijing Film Academy to study Xi photography. This is a crucial step for realizing Zhang Yimou's film dream.
During his Xi at the film academy, Zhang Yimou studied Xi seriously and rekindled his passion for photography. His photographs have won numerous awards both on and off campus, demonstrating a high level of achievement.
The story behind these achievements is that Xiao Hua worked hard in Xi'an to earn money to support his studies.
In 1982, after graduating from film school, Zhang Yimou was assigned to work in Guangxi Film Studio. His cinematography skills quickly gained critical acclaim and won awards in several films.
In 1987, Zhang Yimou began his career as a director, writing and directing his first film "Red Sorghum". This love story has aroused an enthusiastic response from the audience, and has won many awards since its release, taking the global film industry by storm.
Overnight, Zhang Yimou successfully secured the top spot of China's fifth-generation directors.
Without Xiao Hua's motherly care and support for Zhang Yimou, as well as her 30 years of dedication, it would be impossible to have today's Zhang Yimou. However, unfortunately, the success of Zhang Yimou's career also became the fuse of this family tragedy.
The fourth point is that he once cheated on Gong Li and abandoned his wife and daughter.
In 1987, when the then 37-year-old Zhang Yimou directed his first work "Red Sorghum", he sparked a spark of love with the 22-year-old female lead actor Gong Li. Gong Li's youthful vitality deeply attracted Zhang Yimou, which was his desire and pursuit of love after his career started.
The two had an ambiguous affair in the crew many times, and were discovered by Gong Li's boyfriend at the time. The boy was furious, beat Gong Li, and threatened to expose Zhang Yimou's negative behavior to the media.
Zhang Yimou was afraid that the scandal would have a negative impact on his directorial career, so he took Gong Li to Hong Kong to avoid the limelight.
At the same time, Zhang Yimou's wife Xiao Hua accidentally discovered a love letter written by Gong Li to Zhang Yimou at home. She was shocked and heartbroken, and it was difficult to accept Zhang Yimou's derailment.
Despite the pain in her heart, Xiao Hua is still unwilling to give up this relationship, she only hopes that Zhang Yimou will not leave her and her daughter.
But this time, Zhang Yimou has made up his mind to be with Gong Li. In 1990, he filed for divorce from Xiao Hua on the grounds that "feelings can no longer go back to the past". Xiao Hua begged him to change his mind, but without success, he could only watch her husband throw herself into the arms of another woman.
She gave twenty years of her youth, but ended everything in the most tragic way.
After Zhang Yimou regained his freedom, he accompanied Gong Li to start a good life. Gong Li is very concerned about Zhang Yimou's body and hopes to marry him. However, Zhang Yimou has always emphasized that "marriage is just a piece of paper".
In 1995, Gong Li had a clearer understanding of Zhang Yimou's true face, so he left him angrily.
He pursued her again, and the two fell in love again.
In 1999, 49-year-old Zhang Yimou met Chen Ting, an 18-year-old girl, during the filming of the movie "Happy Times", and she played the heroine.
Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting fell in love with each other because of their beauty and fell into it again.
Chen Ting's parents strongly objected, and Zhang Yimou successfully won the heart of this girl with his "language arts". In 2001, despite all the talk, they chose to hold their wedding in Beijing.
Unlike Gong Li, Chen Ting is not satisfied with ordinary love relationships. She wants to be Zhang Yimou's only legal wife. Therefore, after getting married, Chen Ting gave birth to two sons and a daughter for Zhang Yimou one after another.
As the children were born one after another, Chen Ting gradually took control of the family. She finally fulfilled her wish and saw Zhang Yimou's name on the marriage certificate. In Chen Ting's view, having a child is the best strategy to win Zhang Yimou.
Back then, Xiao Hua gave up his studies in order to follow Zhang Yimou, and Gong Li disregarded his reputation in order to gain Zhang Yimou. Based on the lessons of the past, Chen Ting understood that only by giving birth to children can this amorous person be firmly restrained.
This man is unreliable, and her children are both her insurance and a constraint on this man.
Zhang Yimou was willing to give up his previous lover again and again in exchange for a new lover. Did he ever think about how many people's lives his choices would change and ruin? In his eyes, feelings are just a game, he is just enjoying the process, but those women who give their hearts have to bear the price of heartbreaking.
Write memories, and eventually die alone.
Zhang Yimou's every choice has ruined a woman's life.
The first is Xiao Hua, who has silently devoted 20 years, but on her thirtieth birthday, she was ruthlessly abandoned by her beloved man. What she paid in exchange for was the stigma and blow brought about by the marriage change.
In 1992, Xiao Hua published a memoir called "The Past", aiming to expose to everyone through her words a scumbag phoenix man's ruthless trampling and playing with feelings.
She wrote down the tragedy of her life with a pen, which can be regarded as an explanation and relief of the past.
Today, 70-year-old Xiao Hua is still alone. She no longer believes in so-called true love and has never experienced marriage in her life. Zhang Yimou has brought her an indelible psychological shadow, and she can no longer trust or rely on a man.
The other is Gong Li, she paid a lot for Zhang Yimou, but in the end she only got the ending of breaking up. Because of Zhang Yimou's injury, she developed a sense of distrust of women and work.
Chen Ting, in order to retain her feelings, kept giving birth and made her lose her youth and career. She gave her all, but she will inevitably be abandoned by this affectionate man one day.
A man with an extreme ego who constantly hurts the woman who truly loves him in his feelings. He ruined one woman after another, but never reflected on how much his actions had hurt them.
Phoenix men are a scary being because they only care about themselves.
