On an extraordinary month in December 2002, a masterpiece called "Tongali Body Photo Book" was like a bright meteor, quickly and gorgeously shining on the counters of many bookstores, and instantly aroused the enthusiasm of art lovers. In just a few short days, sales of the work soared to an astonishing 15,000 copies, making Tongali, a young dancer, instantly rise to the top of the "goddess of dreams" in the hearts of many otaku.
However, at a time when the general public in China is generally conservative in their ideology, body art is seen as an immoral act in their eyes. Although her body art made Tongali famous overnight, she was also questioned and abused from all sides. In the face of such enthusiastic pursuit and abuse, Tongali's heart is full of contradictions, on the one hand, intoxicated by the glory of the artist, and on the other hand, ashamed of her nakedness.
This photo album is undoubtedly a strong challenge to the traditional social morality, and it is like a hammer, ruthlessly shattering people's perception of Tongali, a once innocent and lovely dancing girl. For a while, this name, which was originally only known to people in the dancer circle, became a household name and became a hot topic after dinner. People are full of endless curiosity and speculation about her life experience, the reasons for the photographic events, and where she will go in the future.
Originally, Tongali was no different from ordinary people, she was born in Hefei City, Anhui Province in 1976, her father was a dedicated people's policeman, and her mother was a hardworking and kind housewife. Although their family is not financially well-off, the parents still do everything they can to support their daughter's personal interests. Tongali also lived up to expectations, showing an extraordinary talent for learning from an early age, winning wide praise among her neighbors and being known as a smart and clever little girl.
However, Tongali is not a quiet lady in the traditional sense of the word, and instead prefers to play with her peers. As a result, her father could no longer strictly restrain her, so he had no choice but to send her to a gymnastics academy for professional dance training. Tongali was only nine years old that year.
Her parents have high expectations for her to shine in the field of dance, so as to lay a solid and solid artistic foundation, gradually fade away from her former naughty personality, and create an elegant and noble temperament.
However, practicing the basic skills of dance is undoubtedly arduous and challenging, and many children are unable to persevere, and even cry and wail in class. However, Tongali showed perseverance, never complained about any difficulties, always quietly completed the tasks assigned by the teacher, and strictly adhered to the extremely high self-requirements.
The teacher quickly sensed her potential and decided to focus on cultivation. As expected, Tongali won the honor of "Outstanding Athlete" by winning two gold medals in the junior competition, which attracted everyone's attention. This strengthened her determination to bravely embark on the path of dance!
While studying at the Beijing Dance Academy, Tongali met Shen Dong, a famous director who was active in the advertising industry. At the moment of their first encounter, Shen Dong was deeply attracted by Tongali's beautiful dancing and slender figure, and couldn't help but fall in love with it.
Although Tongali was initially resistant to his passionate pursuit, the seeds of love had already been planted in her heart unconsciously.
As time passed, the two gradually narrowed the distance in their daily interactions, and gradually established a deep emotional bond with each other. In the end, with the blessings of their families and friends, they entered the palace of marriage hand in hand.
It is worth mentioning that the couple has been widely recognized by all walks of life and praised as "a match made in heaven".
The life after marriage is full of sweetness and happiness, the husband and wife are in love, the family is harmonious, and they can be called the fairy couple in the entertainment industry. What is even more admirable is that Shen Dong, as a husband, fully supported his wife Tongali to continue her career as an actress and temporarily gave up her birth plan.
He did not hesitate to use his network resources in the industry to help his wife emerge in the film and television industry, making her achieve breakthrough development in works such as "Kangxi Dynasty".
At this moment of glory and brilliance, Tongali deeply understands that today's great achievements are due to the incomparably strong backing and selfless support of her husband - her husband's all-out and support, and her heart is full of gratitude to him. However, who could have foreseen that behind this short period of happiness, an artist's decision would completely turn the trajectory of her life upside down?
As time passed, Tongali witnessed classmates and friends of her age emerge in the entertainment industry, some of them have even become big-name stars, and the least of them is at least a high-profile supporting role. At this moment, the deep sense of imbalance in her heart poured out like a tide, and she began to feel that her acting career had become boring and boring, and she had lost her original enthusiasm for being an actress she had once been passionate about, and instead wanted to explore those new and exciting things.
Although Shen Dong has a wide range of contacts in the industry as a well-known director, he knows that Tongali's acting skills still need to be honed at this stage, so he suggested that she start with small roles and gradually accumulate valuable experience to improve her self-quality. However, a friend's remark piqued Tongali's curiosity: "Your body is so perfect, why don't you consider turning into an advertising model? ”
Returning to her warm family, Tongali eagerly discussed the transformation with Shen Dong. Despite her husband's persuasive persuasion and opposition, he reluctantly agreed in the face of his wife's expectant gaze. Soon, on the recommendation of a friend, Tongali successfully filmed multiple underwear commercials in a row.
During the shooting, her elegant figure and charming demeanor attracted the attention of the famous photographer Zhang Xulong. Zhang Xulong's position is very important, he enjoys a high reputation in the field of photography, known as the "evergreen tree of photography", and has won many supreme honors. For Zhang Xulong, a giant photographer, Tongali, with her unique temperament and graceful figure, is undoubtedly an excellent model for him to create portrait photography art.
Therefore, Zhang Xulong invited Tongali to join his creative team with great enthusiasm, hoping to create a shocking artistic masterpiece together. "Dear Miss Tang, given your beautiful and charming qualities, you are undoubtedly the best choice for taking such a precious work as body art portraits!
In September of the following year, a series of large-scale human body portraits jointly created by Tongali and Zhang Xulong were finally compiled into a book, and they made a stunning appearance in the world under the name of "Tongali's Human Body Portrait". Although some of her private parts are covered, it cannot hide her charming "nude curves". The album was as dazzling as a meteor and quickly attracted a warm following from many art lovers. In just a few days, sales soared to a staggering 15,000 copies.
However, at a time when the general public in China is generally conservative in their ideology, body art is undoubtedly regarded as undignified and immoral in their eyes. This photo book is undoubtedly a violent impact on the bottom line of traditional morality, and it has completely changed people's perception of Tongali, an innocent and lovely dancing girl. In an instant, her name spread all over the streets and became a hot topic of conversation after dinner, questioning why she would make such a bold and eye-popping move.
The most painful thing is the accusations from relatives. When Tongali received her father's stern questioning call, she could not hide the shame in her heart, as if she could foresee her father's angry expression at this moment. In a fit of rage, the father scolded his daughter for doing such a disdignified thing, which damaged the family's reputation. "I beg you to refrain from calling me father in the future, I really can't bear such humiliation!" Father's words were undoubtedly the deepest wound in Tongali's heart.
At one time, her father had high hopes for Tongali to become an outstanding dancer of a generation, but now she has embarked on this path that the world scoffs at. How dare Tongali face her father's gaze? Her heart was filled with endless shame and self-blame.
During this period, the relationship between her husband and her husband, Shen Dong, was hit hard after the artist's courageous attempt at a career in photography. Shen Dong, who had already expressed his dissatisfaction with his wife's photo shoot, saw her whole body unreservedly presented in front of the audience, and his deep respect and trust for his wife had collapsed.
Immediately, the couple, who had experienced a long ten years of happiness, ended in divorce.
In all walks of life, doubts and condemnations of Tongali are pouring in. Although some people in the art field have highly praised her portraits for their innovation, interest and aesthetic value, in the eyes of the general public, she is just a "nude model" who has lost her dignity.
Overnight, the image of the once innocent and lovely dancing girl disappeared, and was replaced by a "naked girl" who was ridiculed by everyone and spurned by her relatives.
In the face of such huge pressure from public opinion, she could only bow her head helplessly and bear the pain and tears in her heart alone.
