In 2011, the entertainment industry once set off a sensation, and the Oriental actress Gong Li actually admitted that she had an illegitimate child! This news shocked the entire entertainment industry, because for many years, Gong Li has been known for low-key protection of her family. But why did she suddenly reveal this amazing inside story, and what kind of story is hidden behind it?
Looking back on the past, Gong Li and the famous director Zhang Yimou had a sensational relationship. It all started in 1987 when the young Gong Li had just graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, and with her passion for acting, she was given the opportunity to play the heroine in the film "Red Sorghum" directed by Zhang Yimou. At that time, Zhang Yimou was already a well-known director, he fell in love with Gong Li at first sight, and the two gradually developed from work partners to good friends, but this relationship eventually ended with Zhang Yimou and his original partner divorcing.
Gong Li got her wish and became Zhang Yimou's new love, but her request for marriage was politely rejected by Zhang Yimou, which made Gong Li recognize the reality and take the initiative to withdraw from the relationship. On the surface, she soared in the entertainment industry with Zhang Yimou's prestige, but she also lost her true love and happy family because of it.
However, one spring day in 2017, Gong Li met French musician Michel while shooting an advertisement in Paris, and the two fell in love, and finally held a grand wedding in a French church. After marriage, Gong Li and Michelle's happy life is enviable, but who would have thought that Gong Li actually had an illegitimate child, and this exposure aroused great public interest and attention to her secret family.
This so-called "illegitimate child" was actually a deaf and mute child whom Gong Li met in the movie "Pretty Mother" in 2000, and Gong Li was moved by his pity and kindness and finally adopted him. Over the years, Gong Li silently supported his studies and life until he became an adult. Gong Li bravely disclosed the existence of her son, and this kind of maternal love deeply touched people's hearts, and also triggered thinking and discussion about the private lives of celebrities.
Should celebrities' private lives be subject to more public scrutiny? Gong Li chose to publicly acknowledge her son and bravely faced public skepticism, and her courage and candor earned the public's respect. This incident not only broke the traditional secrecy practice in the entertainment industry, but also triggered a reflection on the privacy of celebrities, and how celebrities need to balance the relationship between public and private life, which is a question worth pondering.
In any case, Gong Li's story tells us that even in the entertainment industry, even if she is an Oriental actress, she is an ordinary mother with selfless care for her children. This kind of sincere maternal love makes us feel the warmth and beauty of life, and also gives us a new perspective and thinking about the attention and evaluation of celebrities.
