When Li Lingyu sat comfortably on the sofa and gently closed her eyes, it was as if time had been turned back in an instant, taking her back to that exciting moment in 1987. That year, Yang Jie, a well-known director at home and abroad, was preparing a TV series that can be called a classic - "Journey to the West", however, the casting of the role of "Jade Rabbit Essence" was at an impasse.
This role is given the identity of "Princess Tianzhu", which requires the actor not only to have a unique exotic style, but also to have excellent dance skills, which can be imagined challenging.
Just when Director Yang Jie was anxious about this matter, a wonderful performance of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe appeared on the TV screen. In the picture, Li Lingyu affectionately interprets the traditional Pakistani dance - can dance with her beautiful posture.
Her unique temperament and touching dance steps deeply touched the heart of director Yang Jie, and he did not hesitate to immediately send a commissioner to the song and dance troupe to sincerely invite Li Lingyu to join the crew of "Journey to the West".
Li Lingyu, who has just joined the crew, is full of strangeness and confusion about the filming work. As a new actor, she made repeated mistakes in front of the camera, and even accidentally strayed into the area outside the camera.
Faced with this situation, director Yang Jie could only reluctantly demarcate a safe activity area for her.
In this regard, Li Lingyu felt deeply guilty, and she was worried that her many reshoots would slow down the progress of the entire crew. Therefore, she humbly sought advice from other experienced actors and did her best to adapt to the new environment.
Recalling those days, there was a scene that made Li Lingyu unforgettable in the crew, the role of Princess Tianzhu was actually played by the same actor in the triangle, including Jade Rabbit Essence, Princess Tianzhu, and the image of a monkey-transformed princess.
Among them, Li Lingyu has never been able to master the skill of scratching her head when she plays a monkey. With the patience of the other actors, she finally understood the mystery - the monkey scratches its head not clockwise, but counterclockwise.
Although the initial run-in process was full of hardships, Li Lingyu has always been firm in her beliefs, gritted her teeth and persevered to the end, her attitude towards work has always been rigorous, even on a special day like her birthday, she has never lowered her requirements for herself.
Director Yang Jie was deeply moved, and specially planned a simple and warm birthday celebration for her that day, which made Li Lingyu feel warm and grateful.
With the help of the director team and other actors, Li Lingyu perfectly portrayed the role of "Jade Rabbit Spirit" in "Journey to the West", and her graceful performance was warmly welcomed by the audience.
The TV series was widely praised as soon as it was broadcast, and Li Lingyu became famous overseas overnight and became a hot topic of discussion.
However, just as Li Lingyu's acting career was at its peak, fate threw an unexpected heavy disappointment on her. In 1990, she decisively ended her married life with her husband.
Looking back on that time, Li Lingyu is still troubled by the guilt and helplessness in her heart, and at this time, her music creation began to develop towards a sweet and pure pop style that is diametrically opposed to the original bel canto route of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe.
Such a change naturally attracted dissatisfaction and questions from the top of the group, and the relationship between Li Lingyu and her husband gradually became tense due to their different positions. As a senior member of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, her husband has always unswervingly followed the team's decision-making and management orientation, which makes the conflict between them more and more intense.
Faced with this situation, Li Lingyu felt puzzled and even angry, she didn't understand why her husband couldn't support and understand her artistic pursuits, she just wanted to do her best to show her singing talent.
However, her husband believes that Li Lingyu has been driven by fame and fortune to delve too far into her personal career, so that their opportunities to get along have become scarce, and he is deeply angry at Li Lingyu's break with the team, and at the same time expresses disappointment in her "departure from tradition".
As time passed, contradictions accumulated, and the rift in the relationship widened. Eventually, in 1990, they chose to end the marriage. After the divorce, Li Lingyu resolutely resigned from all positions in the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, which can be described as "leaving the house", losing all her benefits, and only carrying a simple bag and residual love to accompany her.
At this stage, she fell into extreme pain and confusion. In order to relieve the depression in her heart, Li Lingyu once indulged in alcohol, which caused her face to be swollen and lost her former demeanor.
After the release of Ms. Li Lingyu's meticulously created new album "Women's Mood", it failed to win the enthusiastic response of the audience, but instead attracted the reproach and doubts of die-hard fans! The praise that originally surrounded her instantly turned into gossip, and negative rumors about her "abandoning her husband and children" came one after another, making Li Lingyu fall into deep self-denial and doubt.
In this endless pain, Li Lingyu endured it alone for a whole year. However, when she gradually came out of the haze and regained her self-confidence, she unexpectedly found that she had suffered from depression.
It was this unforgettable life experience that prompted her to make a complete change and embark on a new journey.
Therefore, Li Lingyu resolutely chose to leave the motherland and go overseas to seek new development opportunities and life outlets. She knew that if she stayed where she was, she would only let her scars be uncovered again and again, and they would never heal.
The moment she left her homeland, Li Lingyu seemed to have regained her free breath. One day in 1996, she met a personable foreign man, Jerry, in a foreign country.
The two met late, and fell in love at first sight, like soulmates. Jerry knows everything about Li Lingyu's past and present, and they talk about everything and have a great time. Although Li Lingyu was in her thirties at this time, deep down, she was still full of expectations for this fate.
As time passed, the relationship between the two grew deeper. Jerry frequently invites Li Lingyu to spend quality time together, and every time they go on a date, they always find a new topic, as if they are the other half of their lives.
In the face of Jerry's gentle care, Li Lingyu couldn't resist the love in her heart, and finally in 1997, the two walked into the palace of marriage hand in hand, opening a new chapter of happiness.
After marriage, Li Lingyu completely let go of her dedication to her music career, and her whole person seemed calm and peaceful, getting rid of gloomy emotional distress.
This child is undoubtedly a gift from God, and it is also a new starting point for Li Lingyu's life. Once she was just a singer focused on her career, now she has become a loving mother.
In a talk show, Li Lingyu couldn't hide her excitement and said affectionately: "In 2003, I decided to return to my hometown Beijing.
Even in the face of the dilemma that her husband Jerry could not be by her side, Li Lingyu has firmly decided to return to her hometown with her beloved baby son and start a new chapter in her life.
Since that date, she and Jerry have been separated for 14 years.
During this period, Jerry traveled thousands of miles to Beijing every two months to visit the mother and son.
In the long time when she was thousands of miles away from her husband Jerry, Li Lingyu often recalled the resolute decision that year. She resolutely chose to live separately from her lover for 14 years, just so that her son could thrive in the capital Beijing.
As a new mother, Li Lingyu is determined to devote all her efforts to this warm little home and her children. She always remembers her mother's responsibilities and does her best to play the role of a virtuous and virtuous mother.
When Li Lingyu returned to Beijing with her son, she was surprised to find that there are still many loyal fans who are silently following and supporting her behind her. These former fans have not left her because of the passage of time, but have been cheering her on in the shadows.
This touched Li Lingyu, and she felt that she had to respond and repay this sincere support and love. Therefore, in 2004, after many years, she returned to the screen again, participated in the performance of the TV series "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang", and personally sang the theme song of the play, showing the elegance of the past.
Rumors about "divorce" have plagued Li Lingyu for years. Although she and her husband live separately, the relationship between the two remains the same and has not faded at all. In the end, in a certain show, Li Lingyu couldn't stand it anymore and publicly clarified the spread of this rumor to dispel the public's doubts.
Since then, Li Lingyu has devoted more energy to her family. She deeply experienced the hardships of her mother and deeply realized the important position of a good wife and mother in the family.
Whether it's cooking delicious food or taking care of her son's daily life, Li Lingyu is fully engaged. She hopes to give her child endless love and care, so that he can grow up healthy and happy under the nourishment of mother's love.
As expected, under Li Lingyu's careful cultivation, his son gradually grew into a handsome and upright teenager, which is very gratifying.
Since retiring from the stage, Li Lingyu has not easily given up the pursuit of her career dream. In 2012, she held a luxurious and grand solo concert at the Beijing Exhibition Theater, which was unprecedentedly full of seats.
On the bright stage, she once enjoyed the reputation of "Queen of Sweet Songs" and performed again with a new attitude. With the melodious melody sounding, the atmosphere of the scene was instantly warm and extraordinary, like boiling hot water.
In the audience, Li Lingyu's best friends were like clouds, and famous program hosts such as Zhao Zhongxiang and Mao Ning also came to cheer her on with the most passionate applause. In addition, Tu Honggang, Cai Guoqing, Zhang Tielin, Cui Yongyuan and many other star film and television superstars also attended and offered their most sincere blessings.
In an instant, Li Lingyu once again became the focus of attention. People have witnessed this woman who has gone through ups and downs, and interpreted her firm belief in her career with her own practical actions.
And her consistent cherishing of her family deeply shocked everyone present.
The audience was deeply moved. After countless twists and turns, this former sweet song queen finally returned to the stage with a new look and regained her glory. With her passionate and loud singing voice, she shows a never-say-die courage and perseverance.
In this way, Li Lingyu perfectly integrated the good memories of the past with the happy life of the present, and affectionately displayed it in front of every audience. In the thunderous applause, she seemed to have rediscovered the purest and happiest self of her youth.
Now, Li Lingyu, who has entered middle age, has gradually faded out of the sight of the entertainment industry. She devotes more energy to her family, savoring the bits and pieces of life with her heart, and immersing herself in the warm care of her relatives.
