Time flies, and Chi Chongrui, who was beautiful in the past, has now entered his twilight years. His handsome face, as handsome as a young man, has now been wrinkled by the years, and his jet-black hair is beginning to appear mottled.
His body is no longer tall and strong, which is in stark contrast to the heroic posture when he created the role of "Tang Seng".
Recently, a video of Chi Chongrui promoting rosewood bracelets in the live broadcast room spread quickly on the Internet, causing heated discussions among the majority of netizens. In the video, Chi Chongrui wears a monk's hat and a robe, and his demeanor is dignified, as if he is still the compassionate holy monk in "Journey to the West".
At first, many netizens were amazed that the voice of "Old Man Tang" was still clear and bright, but his face was old. However, it was not long before many people questioned and confused his behavior.
"Mr. Chi, how are you and Ms. Chen doing, and why did you choose to engage in an industry like live streaming?" asked a senior fan in the comment section.
"It's ridiculous that you should be trying to make a fortune from us young people with just an ordinary bracelet!" said one young fan sarcastically.
There are even some people who sigh, thinking that the current Chi Chongrui is both pitiful and pathetic.
Dating back to 1986, Chi Chongrui was in the prime of life at that time, tall and handsome, and was caught by the famous director Yang Jie at a glance, and successfully played the role of "Tang Seng" in the TV series of the same name adapted from the classic "Journey to the West".
Yang Jie recalled: "The moment I first met Chi Chongrui, I was deeply attracted by his pure, kind, humble and polite temperament.
After careful styling design, Chi Chongrui, who wore a monk's robe, looked more solemn and elegant. Coupled with his consistent modest and calm expression, it perfectly interprets Tang Seng's character characteristics of compassion and subtlety and humility.
Every subtle movement and expression of Chi Chongrui in the play reveals a strong oriental humanistic atmosphere, which makes countless audiences fall in love with it.
In particular, his eyes often reveal melancholy, showing the otherworldly indifference of the monk family all the time. Coupled with his simple face and plump posture, it can be said that the image of "Master Tang" in the audience's hearts is natural.
No one expected that the outstanding actor who was praised by the majority of fans as a "living Buddha" would fall into today's incomparable predicament in the lapse of time. When his haggard and old face appeared frequently in front of the public, it couldn't help but arouse the deep emotion of countless people.
In 1986, when the TV series "Journey to the West" was about to end successfully, Chen Lihua, a business tycoon, went to the crew to visit the class with the mood of learning and appreciation. As soon as she stepped into the crew, she was shocked by the scene in front of her - Chi Chongrui, who was putting on makeup, was wearing a monk's hat, his eyes were slightly closed, and his expression was focused and solemn, just like the reappearance of "Master Tang" on the screen.
Chen Lihua has worked hard in the shopping mall for decades and read the prosperity of the world, but she has never had such a strong impression of any actor. Perhaps it is precisely because of the extraordinary charm revealed in his arrogant and heroic temperament that he touched the nostalgia for youth in the heart of this successful woman.
Since that failed marriage, Chen Lihua has no longer focused on finding true love. She was once full of fighting spirit and fearless, but she became physically and mentally exhausted under the merciless blow of fate.
This time, facing this young man who was more than ten years younger than herself, she inexplicably admired him again, and a special emotion welled up in her heart.
After careful consideration, Chen Lihua decided to bravely challenge fate. After learning the news of Chi's mother's illness, she took the initiative to lend a helping hand and generously paid for the high medical expenses, hoping to use this as an opportunity to establish contact with the person she loved.
As expected, Chi Chongrui was deeply impressed by Chen Lihua's selfless care. In a chance encounter in the dressing room, he threw a sincere smile to Chen Lihua and expressed his heartfelt gratitude.
In this way, the fate between them quietly grew.
Although Chen Lihua was rejected when she boldly showed her love, she was not discouraged, but strengthened her belief in pursuing true love. Chen Lihua never does superficial work, she simply thinks that spending her life with Chi Chongrui will be a great opportunity worth trying.
So, she waited patiently, tirelessly approached, and finally touched the man who had made her awe-struck at a beautiful moment. In this way, the two who originally had no intersection began an unprecedented love journey.
When Chi Chongrui and Chen Lihua's marriage was officially made public, the audience's reaction to this marriage was polarized. Some people unabashedly accuse Chi Chongrui of bad motives, saying that he was driven by profit and greedily aimed at Chen Lihua's huge wealth, so as to deliberately approach this once brilliant but now troubled self-made female billionaire.
In addition, some people suspect that the reason why Chi Chongrui is willing to commit to becoming Chen Lihua's husband is entirely because he hopes to get Ms. Chen's funding to treat his mother's illness, even if he wants to suffer pain and torture in the emotional world.
However, in the face of such speculation and doubts, almost no one can agree that there is true love between them. After all, at that time, Chen Lihua had already entered the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, while Chi Chongrui was only a young man who had just crossed the age of establishment.
The age gap between the two is as high as more than ten years, coupled with the huge difference in their social backgrounds and life experiences, which makes the outside world have deep doubts about the couple's marriage.
Even their relatives and friends were shocked to learn the news. However, Chen Lihua does not seem to be affected by this, she firmly said: "It's him, I have insight into his heart."
No matter what the outside world says, I will always follow my instincts and feelings."
What's even more controversial is that the way they get along after marriage is also quite unique. In the eyes of outsiders, their married life is more like a cooperative relationship between superiors and subordinates, and Chen Lihua seems to have become the controller of power and status.
Whenever Chen Lihua returns from overseas and the tired figure appears at the airport, Chi Chongrui will always take the initiative to step forward and respectfully take over the heavy suitcase in his wife's hand like a personal bodyguard Sometimes, when Chen Lihua feels tired, Chi Chongrui will carefully and thoughtfully hand over a handkerchief and gently wipe the fine sweat from his wife's forehead.
