Emotional crisis
In 2014, Zhu Yuchen's private life once again became the focus of public opinion. A group of photos of him and actress Zhang Xinxin in close contact on the street were exposed, causing an uproar.
Zhu Yuchen, who has always been low-key, suddenly fell into an emotional turmoil.
Two years later, Zhu Yuchen's love affair with designer Du Ruo surfaced in the same way. Regarding these scandals, Zhu Yuchen, who has always been cautious, has never made any response to the outside world.
In the face of the ensuing emotional blows, Zhu Yuchen's inner anxiety and pain can be imagined.
It wasn't until 2018 that Zhu Yuchen participated in a much-watched reality show as a guest, and he revealed his inner struggle in front of the camera. At the scene of the show, this once personable big star, at this moment, he told the program team his mental journey with tears in his eyes.
This undoubtedly surprised and regretted all the audience. Zhu Yuchen, who has always been reserved, would show his inner difficulties so fragile in front of the camera, which shows that the loneliness and pain in his heart have reached the point of unbearable.
Tracing Zhu Yuchen's growth process, it is not difficult for us to find that perhaps what has been hanging over him is the powerful shadow of his mother Zhu Xiangling.
Career and relationship
Looking back on Zhu Yuchen's growth process, the influence of his mother Zhu Xiangling can be said to be everywhere.
In 1998, Zhu Yuchen, who was only 20 years old, was finally admitted to Chinese opera as he wished, and was about to embark on a new chapter in his life. However, Zhu Xiangling stubbornly asked to go to Beijing in person and accompany her son to report to duty throughout the process.
This overly strong mother not only caused Zhu Yuchen to suffer great humiliation in front of his classmates, but also cut off his opportunity to live independently.
With the rapid development of Zhu Yuchen's career, the support of his mother Zhu Xiangling has become more and more proactive. In 2009, when the TV series "Who Calls the Shots in My Youth" starring Zhu Yuchen was widely acclaimed, she immediately mobilized her relatives and friends to canvass for her son in various voting activities.
But this kind of love is not out of selflessness, Zhu Xiangling has always tried to manipulate her son's love life through various ways. During the period when Zhu Yuchen and actress Jiang Yan were in love, the mother strictly judged the girl's words and deeds.
She thinks that Jiang Yan's behavior is too frivolous and cannot meet the standards of a traditional good wife and mother. In the end, under the strong opposition of his mother, this budding relationship could not escape the fate of breaking down.
Zhu Xiangling's behavior undoubtedly cast a shadow on her son's love life. On the other hand, she also made no secret of her full support for her son's career. In order to take care of Zhu Yuchen's work, she even went to the set in person and regularly delivered homemade nutritious food.
, a mother who loves her son deeply, seems to be trying to control Zhu Yuchen's life trajectory in various ways all the time. Whether it's a relationship or a career, she hopes to exert her influence and let his life go according to her imagination.
This seemingly selfless maternal love also brought heavy pressure to Zhu Yuchen's heart. He struggled to find a way out of his mother's shadow, but eventually found that he couldn't get rid of it completely.
A difficult journey
Looking back on Zhu Yuchen's growth process, it is not difficult for us to find that he has been under the strict control of his mother since he was a child, and it is difficult for him to have real autonomy.
In 1995, 17-year-old Zhu Yuchen plucked up the courage for the first time and applied for three famous art schools in China, hoping to realize his dream of acting.
Due to his young age, he was not accepted in the end. Two years later, with the encouragement of his mother, he tried this dream again, only to be defeated.
It wasn't until 1998 that Zhu Yuchen was finally admitted to the Central Academy of Drama, which undoubtedly made him extremely excited. But at this time, the mother Zhu Xiangling accompanied her son to Beijing again and accompanied her throughout the process.
This overly strong mother once caused Zhu Yuchen to suffer great humiliation in front of his classmates.
Even during his college years, Zhu Yuchen was often under the strict control of his mother. In terms of study and life, he can hardly establish normal social relationships with his classmates.
On one occasion, he was even violently attacked by his classmates, and his mother rushed into the school to force the abuser to apologize to her son. This scene undoubtedly strengthened Zhu Yuchen's "special status" in the eyes of his classmates.
Until the three years after graduating from university in 2002, Zhu Yuchen barely took on any works. During this period, he had the idea of returning to his hometown of Shanghai to work as a piano teacher, but the thought of dealing with his mother, Zhu Xiangling, immediately dismissed this idea.
It can be said that from childhood to adulthood, Zhu Yuchen could not get rid of his mother's strict control. Whether it is studying or working, the influence of his mother Zhu Xiangling is everywhere, so that he has never been able to truly pursue his dreams.
Despite the obstacles of the family environment, Zhu Yuchen did not give up the pursuit of his acting career. He struggled to find an opportunity to break through until the goddess of fate finally favored the stubborn young man.
Successful running
In 2006, when Zhu Yuchen was struggling to find an opportunity, the goddess of fate seemed to favor this stubborn young actor.
That year, the famous director Zhao Baogang was intensively preparing a new script "Struggle", and the actor who starred in the role of "Huazi" had not yet been determined. At this moment, Zhu Yuchen's agent took him to Director Zhao.
At that time, Zhu Yuchen had a unique temperament, a heroic posture, and looked directly at Director Zhao without squinting, giving people a sense of pride. Although this arrogant posture often gives people the impression of being impolite, Director Zhao found that this young man's temperament is very consistent with the role of "Huazi" in his mind.
So, after the audition, Zhu Yuchen successfully won the role.
With his excellent acting skills, Zhu Yuchen shined in "Struggle" and became famous overnight. Subsequently, under the strong recommendation of Director Zhao, he successfully took over the filming of another hit drama "Who Calls the Shots in My Youth", playing a rival role with actress Wang Luodan.
The two went from strange to familiar, and gradually established a deep friendship.
In 2009, Zhu Yuchen won the title of the hot "Four Students" at that time together with Hu Ge, Lin Shen, Zhang Junning and others with his excellent acting skills and gradually growing popularity.
This undoubtedly marked the prosperity of his career.
Director Zhao Baogang's appreciation and support undoubtedly paved the way for Zhu Yuchen's acting career. Under the strict control of his mother, Zhu Yuchen was almost unable to develop independently, but with the help of Director Zhao, he finally found a breakthrough in his career.
From obscurity to overnight fame, Zhu Yuchen's career has finally developed rapidly with the help of Director Zhao. The young actor finally had the opportunity to show his strength and get the achievement and recognition he deserved.
Love and discipline
Even though he has made great progress in his career, Zhu Yuchen's deep antipathy and sense of restraint towards his mother have always lingered.
From being forced to learn piano as a child, to being ostracized by his classmates during school, these experiences have brought great pressure to the young Zhu Yuchen. In the face of his mother's strict demands, he even had suicidal thoughts.
That time, he mustered up the courage to touch the power switch and lay on the ground for more than ten minutes, during which he kept thinking about whether his mother would be unbearable if he really died.
After much deliberation, he finally chose to let go and return to his normal life trajectory.
Even so, Zhu Yuchen still couldn't completely get rid of his mother's shackles. During his school days, his mother's overprotection made him out of place in the eyes of his classmates, and he could hardly establish a normal friendship relationship with them.
It wasn't until he was in college that Zhu Yuchen really tasted the taste of independent life. During that time, he immersed himself in reading, rock music, and released his inner passion and publicity.
As long as he can represent himself, he will do anything. It is this vigorous vitality that has attracted the attention of the famous director Zhao Baogang.
At the same time, the appearance of his mother Zhu Xiangling still affects Zhu Yuchen's life all the time. In 2009, she took the initiative to go to Beijing and took care of her son's diet and daily life wholeheartedly.
For his mother's meticulous care, although Zhu Yuchen is grateful in his heart, he also inevitably feels pressured.
Sometimes, the small details of life can also trigger friction between them. Once, when Zhu Yuchen returned home after filming, he saw that his mother had prepared a bowl of steaming noodles for him, which was also piled with chicken hairy vegetables.
Zhu Xiangling is full of hope that such a nutritional combination can provide her son with a comprehensive nutritional supplement. But Zhu Yuchen didn't agree with this combination, and there was a trace of resistance in his heart.
Seeing his mother's disappointed expression, he finally ate all the food.
It can be said that even though his career is taking off, Zhu Yuchen's sense of restraint towards his mother still lingers. From being forced to learn piano as a child, to being ostracized by his classmates during school, these bad experiences put a lot of pressure on him as a young man.
Even after a brief period of freedom in college, the presence of his mother once again compressed his living space.
Ambivalence and control that are difficult to get rid of have always plagued Zhu Yuchen. He longs for freedom, but he struggles to escape his mother's powerful influence. This kind of inner struggle seems to have become a knot in the actor's heart that is difficult to let go.
Courtship journey
In addition to the hardships in his career, Zhu Yuchen is also suffering in the emotional world.
In 2012, during the filming of the TV series "The Story of Time", Zhu Yuchen met another actress, Jiang Yan. Jiang Yan, who was born in a famous family and has an elegant temperament, undoubtedly conforms to the image of "good wife and good mother" in Zhu Xiangling's mind.
Seeing this, Zhu Xiangling actively encouraged her son to take the initiative to approach Jiang Yan. When the two were officially together, Zhu Xiangling made a lot of difficulties about Jiang Yan's behavior and habits.
She thinks that Jiang Yan is too frivolous and not suitable to be her son's wife at all. Under the strong opposition of his mother, this relationship eventually broke down.
While Zhu Yuchen continued to suffer emotional blows, his private life also became the focus of public opinion. In 2014, Zhu Yuchen and actress Zhang Xinxin's intimate photos on the street were exposed, causing an uproar.
Two years later, his relationship with designer Du Ruo was also exposed by the media. Regarding these scandals, Zhu Yuchen has always been cautious and has never responded positively.
In 2018, when Zhu Yuchen participated in a reality show as a guest, he finally revealed his inner loneliness and pain in front of the camera. , who was once a big star who was as beautiful as he was back then, lamented his regret that it was difficult for him to step into the temple of marriage.
Tracing Zhu Yuchen's emotional journey, it is not difficult for us to find that his mother Zhu Xiangling's control over him affects his life choices all the time. From his early love affair with Tang Wei to his later interactions with Huo Siyan, Jiang Yan and other women, Zhu Yuchen could not get rid of his mother's intervention and influence every time.
Perhaps, this is the reason why Zhu Yuchen, who was "imprisoned by his mother", has not been able to truly embrace happiness so far.
Mother's strong interference hindered Zhu Yuchen's progress on the emotional road again and again. Even the lover he longs for in his heart, as long as he does not meet his mother's standards, he will eventually be unable to escape the fate of breakup.
In this case, Zhu Yuchen's loneliness and helplessness in his heart can be imagined.
To this day, 43-year-old Zhu Yuchen has still not entered the palace of marriage. This undoubtedly highlights the dominance of his mother Zhu Xiangling in his life. Even if he is already a big star with a successful career, Zhu Yuchen seems to be unable to completely get rid of this heavy burden.
