With his extraordinary acting skills and long-term accumulated experience, Li Youbin successfully created the image of the heroic and fearless "Li Yunlong" in the crew of the classic "Bright Sword", making him a well-known and respected actor in the whole society.
At that time, he was forty-eight years old, and although he had been in the entertainment industry for several years, he still could not achieve rapid progress in his career. However, it wasn't until this popular TV series came out that Li Youbin finally won the recognition and praise he deserved, and became a hot and powerful actor.
People praised his superb acting skills and were deeply attracted by his energetic temperament. However, just as Li Youbin's career was booming and famous, he made a jaw-dropping decision - he resolutely gave up the marriage he had spent 24 years with his lover Zhang Ruiqi, and instead married a young woman Shi Lanya, who was only fifteen years younger than him and had been married three times.
The move immediately caused a public backlash, with many angrily denouncing Li Youbin as a "scumbag" and accusing him of betraying his wife's loyalty and dedication over the years.
However, Li Youbin did not bow his head and admit his mistake because of this, but defended that the divorce was not what the outside world said, but due to a rift in his feelings. However, such an explanation did not win the understanding of the public, especially his biological son Li Xiaoke.
In Li Xiaoke's view, his father not only betrayed his mother, but also cared too much about other people's children, and neglected to take care of himself. This kind of ruthless departure left an indelible wound in Li Xiaoke's heart, and it has also become a regret in Li Youbin's life.
In the end, despite his brilliant achievements in his career, Li Youbin fell into irreparable difficulties in his family life. His decision not only hurt his wife, but also brought his relationship with his biological son to an impasse.
This huge marriage turmoil not only shook the entire society, but also added a tragic color to Li Youbin's life that cannot be ignored.
To trace the love story of Li Youbin and Zhang Ruiqi, we must go back to the late 70s of the last century. At that time, Li Youbin only played some insignificant small roles in the troupe, but Zhang Ruiqi was an excellent actress with a beautiful face, and she was deeply loved by many young people in the troupe.
On the basis of mutual appreciation and affection, these two legends finally work together to build their own warm nest. However, as Li Youbin's career flourished, their values and lifestyle began to change subtly. He devoted himself to various crews looking for opportunities to perform, while Zhang Ruiqi devoted all his energy to the trivialities of family life.
The gap between their ideologies gradually widened, and even when Li Youbin was faced with the trouble of script creation, Zhang Ruiqi could not provide substantial support. Since then, their exchanges have gradually turned into unpleasant arguments, and their relationship has gradually drifted apart.
The gradual estrangement of this marital relationship undoubtedly brought a heavy burden to Li Youbin's soul. Although he has achieved brilliant achievements in his career, he has always felt that something is missing in his heart. It was at this critical moment that a woman named Shi Lanya quietly entered his life and eventually became his new spiritual support.
Just when Li Youbin and Zhang Ruiqi's marriage is in crisis, Shi Lanya accidentally breaks into their world. This woman, who has pursued marital happiness three times, has also experienced the pain of many failed marriages.
Shi Lanya's first husband was named Liu Bin, and they quickly entered the palace of marriage because of love at first sight. However, due to differences in age and conception of childbearing, they soon came to the brink of breaking up.
In her second marriage, Shi Lanya met a returnee man with an elegant temperament, and the relationship between the two seemed sweet, but in the end they had to choose to separate because the man concealed the truth about his illness.
At this time, Shi Lanya met Li Youbin during the filming of the TV series. Their intimate interaction in the play, and the tacit sparks of understanding in an instant, make their feelings continue to heat up both inside and outside the play.
Although this extramarital affair should be condemned by society, Shi Lanya's obsession with Li Youbin burns like a fire. Li Youbin was also intoxicated with the ambiguity of this new life, and gradually forgot about his original wife and children.
As the relationship between the two became deeper and deeper, Li Youbin made a decisive decision and resolutely chose to leave his wife Zhang Ruiqi, who had accompanied him for 24 years in his life, and firmly walked towards Shi Lanya and tied the knot with him. This decision immediately detonated the heated discussion of public opinion, and countless people pointed the finger at Li Youbin, denouncing him as a "scumbag" who disregarded morality, believing that he had seriously failed his wife's loyalty and dedication over the years.
However, in the face of the flood of criticism, Li Youbin did not bow his head and admit his mistake, but defended the divorce on the grounds that the relationship broke down. Despite this, such an explanation has not been understood by the public, especially his biological son Li Xiaoke. In Li Xiaoke's view, his father's move is undoubtedly a betrayal of his mother and a departure from the family.
When Li Youbin and Shi Lanya solemnly announced that they had entered the marriage hall, Li Xiaoke's eyes were full of deep resentment. He couldn't understand why his father could so easily abandon his mother and throw himself into the arms of another woman. In his eyes, everything his father did was a betrayal of his mother and a betrayal of his family.
This anger and dissatisfaction continued to accumulate in Li Xiaoke's heart. He couldn't understand why his father could share a happy life with Shi Lanya, while his mother could only wait at home alone, crying silently. Whenever his father wholeheartedly took care of Shi Lanya's son Hanhan, Li Xiaoke felt a heavy pressure. He longed for justice and justice in place of his mother, but at that time, he was powerless to prevent his father's wedding to Shi Lanya.
With the passage of time, Li Xiaoke's inner contradictions are becoming increasingly intensified. He refused the blind date opportunities arranged for him by his father many times, and even had great resistance to marriage and childbirth. This undoubtedly made Li Youbin deeply regret, and he did not want to see his son immersed in grief and resentment all the time. However, whenever he tried to extend a hand of friendship to Li Xiaoke, the latter would always respond with a cold gaze, as if telling the unwillingness and pain in his heart.
In Li Xiaoke's heart, the indelible injury has long been deeply imprinted in the deepest part of his soul, like an incurable scar. He couldn't help but wonder why his father was able to take such good care of a child who had no connection to him, while he had never experienced his father's selfless care.
This pain of being abandoned and neglected by his father made Li Xiaoke extremely resistant to marriage, and even refused one blind date after another carefully arranged by his father.
In Li Xiaoke's eyes, his father has always been a "negative man" who has deviated from responsibility and moral standards. What his father did left an irreparable wound in his heart, and it also became an irreparable regret for Li Youbin's life.
Time flies, Li Youbin has made brilliant achievements in his career, but he has fallen into an eternal predicament in terms of family feelings. Although he gave Shi Lanya and his son meticulous care, this affection seemed to Li Xiaoke to be a betrayal of his own flesh and blood.
Now, Li Youbin, who is more than half a hundred years old, can no longer find the good times he spent with his wife Zhang Ruiqi. He had promised his wife a happy and fulfilling life, but now it has become an empty lie.
In the face of his father's various behaviors, Li Xiaoke still can't let go, as if those traumas have been deeply engraved into his soul.
Li Youbin deeply regretted that he could not get his son's forgiveness. In order to pursue personal happiness, he did not hesitate to give up his family and affection, but now he has suffered from his son's indifferent treatment and severe criticism from public opinion.
He paid a terrible price for his original choice, but sadly, such a price will stay with him for the rest of his life.
No matter how hard Li Youbin tries to make up for it, in Li Xiaoke's heart, his father will always be the "negative man" who deviates from responsibility and morality. This irreparable trauma filled Li Youbin's heart with endless regret and self-blame.
If he had paid more attention to his family instead of indulging in his career and new relationship, perhaps Li Xiaoke would not have had such strong resistance to marriage.
Regrettably, Li Youbin may never be able to obtain his son's forgiveness and forgiveness, because those once profound wounds have long been deeply imprinted in the fragile and sensitive heart of his son Li Xiaoke. Although he has made remarkable achievements in his acting career and won high praise from the public, the haze and irreparable regret in the emotional world are his eternal torment.
Time flies, the years are merciless, and in the old days, he made a promise to give his wife a stable and happy life, but this beautiful vision finally came to naught and became an empty joy. Now, he can only helplessly witness his son rejecting his kind care again and again, and his heart is full of unspeakable pain and sorrow.
When he became famous with his superb acting skills and his career was booming, he chose to betray his marriage and marry his third wife, who was 15 years younger than him and had already been married twice. Such an act undoubtedly sparked a public outcry, and even his own son became deeply suspicious of him.
Li Xiaoke still can't let go of his father's actions, and the wounds in his heart have been deeply engraved in the depths of his soul, turning into an indelible scar.
Even though Li Youbin devoted endless love to Shi Lanya's son Han Han in his later life, trying to make up for his mistakes, in Li Xiaoke's view, this is just a snub and abandonment of his own flesh and blood.
He couldn't understand why his father was able to take care of a child who was not related to him so selflessly, and he had never received his father's sincere love.
Li Youbin was remorseful, but it was too late. Although he has made brilliant achievements in his career and won wide recognition from society, he has forever left irreparable regrets in his family feelings.
The vows he had made to give his wife a happy life ended up being an empty slogan. Now, he can only watch his son reject his kindness again and again, and his heart is full of unspeakable regret and grief.
Perhaps this is the impermanence of life, no matter how perfect a career is, it cannot repair the trauma caused by the breakdown of family relationships. We should learn a lesson from Li Youbin's experience, and always remind ourselves to cherish our relatives around us and care for them with a sincere heart, rather than being lost by the temptations of the outside world.
Only in this way can we create a family bond full of warmth and harmony, and enjoy the most precious and irreplaceable good time in life!
