Li Lin: I was slapped by my ex-husband to divorce, married a world champion for the second time, and now lives happily and nourishedly
In 1995, a TV series called "The Woman Who Crossed the River of Men" swept the Chinese TV screen, and the emotions of the audience were affected by the fate of the heroine "Shan Xing" in the play.
This beautiful and ill-fated rural girl not only won the tears of the audience, but also made the actor Li Lin who played her a household name overnight.
With this role, Li Lin successfully won the Feitian Award, which is an unattainable honor for any fledgling actor.
Similar to the characters in the play, Li Lin's real life is also full of twists and turns. While she has achieved great success in her career, her love life has been bumpy.
This can't help but be reminiscent of her role as Yama Apricot in "The Woman Who Crossed the River of Men", a character who also stumbles in love.
Li Lin's acting career can be said to be smooth sailing. After starring in "The Woman Who Crossed the Man River", she starred in many popular TV series, such as "Princess Wencheng" and "The Sky of History".
Her acting skills have been widely recognized, and at the age of 30, she won the honor of "Double Top Ten" actor. Compared with the ups and downs in her career, her love life seems quite tortuous.
An unfinished romance
2003 is a special year in the life of actor Li Lin. That year, she and her boyfriend Wang Xiaolie, who had been in love for three years, entered the palace of marriage hand in hand. Looking back now, that period that was once regarded as a happy marriage seems to have become a bad fate.
The story begins in 1998. At that time, Li Lin was already a household name, while Wang Xiaolie had just changed from a photographer to a director.
During the filming of the movie "Looking at Charliela", the two met. This movie is of great significance to Wang Xiaolie, not only his debut film, but also the starting point of his fate with Li Lin.
In the crew, Li Lin is a well-deserved protagonist, and Wang Xiaolie is the helmsman behind the camera. Although Wang Xiaolie admired Li Lin a lot before the cooperation, Li Lin did not have much feelings for the director who was ten years older than him.
During the filming process, Wang Xiaolie's talent and carefulness gradually moved her. Although Li Lin's impression of Wang Xiaolie gradually changed, she did not immediately accept his pursuit.
After all, Wang Xiaolie is not her ideal partner type. Under Wang Xiaolie's continuous gentle offensive, Li Lin finally fell in love.
On Valentine's Day in 2000, Li Lin was filming in other places. When she returned to the hotel to rest, she unexpectedly saw Wang Xiaolie holding flowers. At that moment, she was deeply moved. Under Wang Xiaolie's affectionate confession, the two finally came together.
Although the two fell in love, they did not get married immediately. Wang Xiaolie urged Li Lin to get married as soon as possible many times, but Li Lin thought that the two needed more time to get along.
Until the advent of SARS, the two of them realized the fragility of life and the preciousness of happiness. So, they decided to get married. This marriage was not as good as Li Lin imagined.
Wang Xiaolie didn't give her a romantic wedding, not even a simple wine banquet. This made Li Lin feel a little disappointed. Wang Xiaolie promised to hold a romantic wedding in the future, but in the end, this promise came to naught.
What made Li Lin even more sad was that she not only did not wait for the expected wedding, but waited for Wang Xiaolie's violent confrontation. At that moment, she finally realized that this marriage may have been wrong from the beginning.
The end of the real estate dispute and a slap in the face
2005 was a turning point in actor Li Lin's life. That year, she and her husband Wang Xiaolie took a fancy to a villa in Beijing and planned to change to a bigger house.
This seemingly simple real estate transaction eventually led to the breakdown of their marriage. At that time, due to the lack of investment funds in Wang Xiaolie's hands, 80% of the purchase price was borne by Li Lin.
Before applying for the real estate certificate, Li Lin went to other places to film for work reasons, so she entrusted Wang Xiaolie to go through the relevant procedures. She specially told Wang Xiaolie that the names of the two must be written on the real estate certificate. However, when she returned from filming, she was surprised to find that she had been deceived.
Only Wang Xiaolie's name appeared on the real estate certificate, but there was no share of Li Lin. This made Li Lin feel very angry and puzzled, obviously she had the most money, and she also made it clear that she wanted to write the names of the husband and wife, why did it become like this in the end?
In the face of Li Lin's questioning, Wang Xiaolie gave his own explanation. He claimed that he accidentally only wrote his own name, and tried to comfort Li Lin with "Anyway, we are husband and wife, and whoever writes is the same". Considering the relationship between husband and wife for many years, Li Lin chose to forgive him temporarily.
Her forgiveness did not bring Wang Xiaolie's repentance. When the two decided to move into a new house, they sold their previous house. The buyer transferred the money directly to Li Lin's bank card.
At this time, Wang Xiaolie suddenly asked Li Lin to transfer half of the sale price to his bank card. What made Li Lin even more puzzled was that Wang Xiaolie gave a woman's bank card number.
After some inquiry, Li Lin found that the card did belong to a strange woman. This time, she couldn't take it anymore. The two began to argue violently. During the quarrel, Wang Xiaolie, who was out of control, slapped Li Lin in the face.
This slap completely shattered Li Lin's last hope and illusion about Wang Xiaolie. Disheartened, she filed for divorce. What she didn't expect was that Wang Xiaolie would have to compete for real estate on the issue of divorce.
He offered that the villa should be owned by him. In order to protect her rights and interests, Li Lin had to go to court with Wang Xiaolie.
However, because only Wang Xiaolie's name was on the real estate certificate, Li Lin finally lost the money and villa. This painful experience made Li Lin distrust all men, and she was in pain for a while.
Fortunately, time is the best healing medicine. After a period of low points, Li Lin gradually came out of the shadows. She regained her strengths and continued to devote herself to the acting career she loved.
In the process, she met her true destiny - gymnast Li Dashuang. This time, she finally found her own happiness.
Being spoiled as a baby will eventually reap happiness
Li Lin and Li Dashuang's marriage was not smooth sailing at the beginning. At the beginning of their acquaintance, Li Lin had experienced a failed marriage, which made her doubt both love and marriage.
And Li Dashuang also had an unhappy marriage experience, which made him worry about starting a relationship again.
Perhaps it was the arrangement of fate, but the two met at this time. Li Dashuang's calmness and restraint attracted Li Lin, and Li Lin's independence and tenacity also made Li Dashuang deeply admire.
In the days they get along, the two support each other and grow together. Li Dashuang's steadiness and thoughtfulness made Li Lin feel at ease, and Li Lin's enthusiasm and understanding also made Li Dashuang feel the warmth that he had not felt for a long time.
After all kinds of running-in and understanding, the two finally decided to walk hand in hand into the palace of marriage. After registering their marriage in the United States, they held a grand wedding in Beijing, where family and friends gathered to witness their happy moment.
After marriage, the two lived a plain and happy life. Li Dashuang's career is booming, and Li Lin has gradually faded out of the screen and shifted her focus to her family. Although they have no children, the two raise flowers, watch fish, travel, and enjoy each other's company together.
Time flies, and 11 years have passed in the blink of an eye. The relationship between the two is still the same, and every time they take a group photo, you can see the love overflowing in their eyes. Li Lin occasionally posted sweet moments between the two on social media, which made fans sigh.
True love and happiness
In the eyes of the public, halfway couples are often seen as a helpless move to make do with life and rely on each other. Li Lin's second marriage broke this stereotype. Although both have experienced failed marriages, this has not stopped them from pursuing true love and happiness.
Perhaps it is precisely because they have been hurt that the two cherish this relationship even more. They understood and supported each other, and they worked together through many difficulties and challenges.
Li Dashuang's steadiness and thoughtfulness made Li Lin feel at ease, and Li Lin's enthusiasm and understanding also made Li Dashuang feel the warmth of home.
Today, Li Lin has entered the age of 53, but her happiness has not diminished because of this. Her marriage to Li Dashuang is still as solid as a rock, and the two enjoy life together. They raise flowers, watch fish, travel together, and enjoy the beauty of the world of the two.
Li Lin's story tells us that happiness is not arranged by fate, but needs to be pursued by oneself. No matter what stage of life we are in, as long as we have hope and love bravely, we can find our own happiness.
May Li Lin and Li Dashuang always go through every stage of life hand in hand and create more beautiful memories together!
