Twenty years ago, Wang Gang and Cheng Fangyuan, the former "mandarin ducks in the music world", drew the end of their five-year marriage with a divorce certificate.
Today, the living conditions of these two artists are like a realistic version of "A Tale of Two Cities".
Wang Gang is already full of children and grandchildren, enjoying the joy of family, while Cheng Fangyuan is alone, continuing to drift on the road of music and travel. The ending of this marriage can't help but make people sigh: "Alas, Wang Gang's choice is really wonderful!"
Let's first take a look at Mr. Wang Gang's "happy old age". In the days after the divorce, he seemed to be the spokesperson of "old cows eat tender grass", and married Zheng Yandong, a cello teacher who was 20 years younger than him and had an outstanding temperament. The two not only Qin Se and Ming, but also gave birth to a son, named Ding Ding. Now, Ding Ding has grown up, and Wang Gang has also been upgraded to a "dazzling grandson madman", posting photos of his grandson in the circle of friends more diligently than posting his own. Lo and behold, this is the legendary "grandfather of someone else's house"!
On the other hand, Ms. Cheng Fangyuan's life status can be summed up in four words - "free and easy". After the divorce, she was like a kite with a broken string, flying over thousands of mountains and rivers and stepping all over the world. She walked among the glaciers of Antarctica with her guitar on her back, danced with the blue icebergs, plucked the strings with local old men and women on the streets of Cuba, shared the carnival of music, drove through Xinjiang, met travelers from all over the world, and listened to their stories. This way of life of "the world is so big, I want to see it" has made countless people envious, jealous and hateful.
However, the marriage path of the two artists did not "go their separate ways" at the beginning. Back then, Cheng Fangyuan had the aura of a "musical talent", and with a guitar and a song "Childhood", he successfully captured Wang Gang's heart. Their union was once known as "soul mate", and the musical "The Sound of Music" they co-starred in was even more sensational. However, marriage is like a large-scale reality show, at first everyone thinks that the script is well written and the actors are well-acted, but as time goes by, the plot may develop in unexpected directions.
First of all, Cheng Fangyuan's attribute of "literary and artistic young woman" is exposed in marriage. She could spend an afternoon staring out the window in a daze, but she didn't want to go to the kitchen. In her world, the wind and snow are more worthy of pursuit than firewood, rice, oil and salt. As for Wang Gang, he is not only a "daughter slave", but also has a mysterious attachment to alcohol. It is said that during that time, he drank with his friends almost every day and "couldn't find the north", and even said hurtful words to Cheng Fangyuan after drinking, "This is not my home". Alas, it seems that the phrase "drink and spit out the truth" is not always romantic.
Of course, the breakdown of a marriage is not all trivial. On the question of whether to have children, the two had serious disagreements. Wang Gang hopes to have a common child, and Cheng Fangyuan firmly stands in the "Dink" camp. This contradiction was like an insurmountable chasm, which eventually led to their parting of ways. Therefore, marriage is like a bridge, it is a husband and wife who walk in the past, and if it can't be passed, it becomes "the bridge returns to the bridge, and the road returns".
After the divorce, Wang Gang found his "little luck" and lived a happy life with his children and grandchildren around his knees. Cheng Fangyuan continued to pursue her "poetry and distance", enjoying the freedom of "one person is full, and the whole family is not hungry". Whenever someone asks her, "Are you lonely like this?" she always replies with a smile: "Lonely? That's because you don't understand, I'm enjoying the VIP treatment of Lonely Planet." ”
Although Cheng Fangyuan is not accompanied by her children, her relationship with her parents has always been very close. It's just that in the face of her parents' worries about her life's events, she can only smile bitterly. Once, before her mother died, she was still chanting: "Fang Yuan, when will you find me a son-in-law?" Cheng Fangyuan replied helplessly: "Mom, don't worry, I will go to the Yuelao Temple to burn incense for you." ”
Today, Wang Gang is over seventy years old and is still active on the screen, and Cheng Fangyuan is also over sixty years old and still travels in all corners of the world. Although their lives are different, they have both found their own happiness. As Cheng Fangyuan said: "Life is like a game of chess, and there are no regrets." I choose free wandering, you choose a warm family, and we all find happiness in our respective chess games. ”
So, friends, when we see the story of Wang Gang and Cheng Fangyuan, instead of sighing "Wang Gang's choice is too exciting", it is better to say: "Everyone has their own way of life, as long as you find what suits you, it is the best." After all, life is like a movie, some people like comedy, some people like tragedy, and some people like "road movies".
In general, although Wang Gang and Cheng Fangyuan's marriage ended in divorce, they each found their own happiness. Wang Gang found satisfaction in the warmth of his family, while Cheng Fangyuan found freedom in music and travel. Their stories tell us that marriage is not the whole of life, and choosing a lifestyle that suits you is the most important thing. After all, life is like a movie, some people like comedy, some people like tragedy, and some people like "road movies". So, no matter which lifestyle you choose, as long as it makes you happy, it's the best choice. After all, you only live once, so why not make yourself happy?
