1. Tracing the source of the years: the brilliant departure of national performing artist Chen Xiaoyi
In that warm and sunny afternoon, Chen Xiaoyi always couldn't help but recall the budding dreams of his youth and ignorance. She was born into an artistic family, her father was the deputy director of the highly respected drama troupe, and her mother was an elegant and elegant Sichuan opera actress.
Immersed in such a rich artistic atmosphere since childhood, Chen Xiaoyi has a deep love and yearning for the stage.
Whenever her mother rehearses carefully at home, Xiao Chen Xiaoyi will always watch with joy, she feels that when her mother wears the belly orchid embroidered with colorful flowers, when she dances on the stage, it is like a blooming delicate flower, exuding endless charm and brilliance.
Since then, Chen Xiaoyi has strengthened her belief and is determined to follow in her mother's footsteps and show her own unique style on the stage in the future.
The mother knew that her daughter's dream had been hidden for a long time, so she gave her full support and personally taught her the essence of Sichuan opera art meticulously. Under the earnest teachings of his mother, Chen Xiaoyi quickly indulged in this ancient art, and relentlessly pursued a higher realm on this path.
However, fate often tests people in unpredictable ways, which makes Chen Xiaoyi's life trajectory take an unexpected turn. One year, a student studying at the Central Academy of Drama met Chen Xiaoyi by chance, and he was full of praise for her talent and encouraged her to take the entrance examination for Chinese opera.
At first, Chen Xiaoyi was still hesitant in her heart, but the student's enthusiastic persuasion finally touched her heart.
In order to successfully pass the strict selection of Chinese opera, Chen Xiaoyi began to devote herself to the study of cultural courses, and her dream gradually grew. Although she failed to achieve the desired results in the first exam, she finally succeeded in seizing the precious opportunity to enter the school with perseverance and perseverance.
After stepping into the school of her dreams, Chen Xiaoyi has been more diligent and hardworking, whether it is professional courses or public courses, she has always maintained excellent grades, and even the well-known actors in her classmates such as Jiang Shan, Xu Fan, Hu Jun and others cannot be compared.
In the year when she was about to graduate, Chen Xiaoyi was lucky to be favored by a famous director and was able to play the heroine of the TV series "Alien Girl". Her radiant appearance and superb acting skills made her famous at the age of 22 and nominated for Best Actress, which has left an indelible impression in the minds of the audience, and her acting career has opened a new chapter.
2. Love is like a corrector, which perfectly adjusts the course of her life
When Chen Xiaoyi's acting career was as dazzling as the scorching sun, a little-known young director Liu Huining quietly entered her life like a breeze.
At first, Liu Huining sincerely invited Chen Xiaoyi to participate in the TV series "Daobeiren" directed by him, however, the bright star at that time rejected him mercilessly.
For Chen Xiaoyi, the name Liu Huining is not enough to attract her attention.
However, Liu Huining was not discouraged by this. A few years later, in 1997, he once again carefully planned a new drama "Old House". This time, he adopted an ingenious strategy and asked the actor Zhang Jiayi, who was Chen Xiaoyi's classmate and friend, to invite on his behalf.
The affection of acquaintances coupled with the excellent script finally made Chen Xiaoyi nod and agree.
As a result, the two gradually became familiar with each other in the close cooperation of the crew, and their relationship gradually warmed up between them day and night. Chen Xiaoyi was attracted by Liu Huining's serious and persistent temperament, and thought that he exuded a unique charm.
And Liu Huining is also deeply immersed in Chen Xiaoyi's charm, he firmly grasped this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and poured out his heart to her with practical actions and affectionate words.
Doubts from the outside world have come and gone, and everyone thinks that Liu Huining, who is ordinary-looking, cannot match the star Chen Xiaoyi. However, Chen Xiaoyi turned a deaf ear to this, and even after the relationship was exposed, she did not hesitate to admit it publicly, showing her unwavering determination.
Just a year later, they walked hand in hand into the sacred hall of marriage, and soon after, the crystallization of their love, a lively and lovely boy, was born.
At that glorious award ceremony, Chen Xiaoyi praised her husband Liu Huining with gratitude, and said frankly that she was able to stand on this stage because of his selfless support and dedication.
The audience applauded thunderously, and people envied their beautiful picture of love and sweetness.
3. The haze after the double harvest of career and family
After getting married and having children, Chen Xiaoyi originally thought that she had successfully embarked on the next stage of life and started a happy life. However, who would have thought that it would be nothing more than the calm before the storm.
It wasn't long before she hit a low point in her career.
Recently, many emerging bright stars have emerged in the entertainment industry, and they have emerged with their professional acting skills and outstanding talents. However, in stark contrast, Chen Xiaoyi, who was once known as the title of "young grandmother", this married woman, has gradually faded in the eyes of the audience, and her attention is not as good as before.
Her original fresh and refined appearance also began to be questioned by the comments, and she was accused of aging and deforming. What's worse is that she is even facing a serious lack of opportunities to take on the show, as if she has been forgotten by the entire industry.
However, in contrast to his wife's predicament, her husband Liu Huining's directing career is booming day by day. In order to help his wife return to the top, he specially directed a TV series "Halfway Couple" and fully promoted Chen Xiaoyi as the heroine.
As expected, this series brought another glory to Chen Xiaoyi's career, and she successfully won the Magnolia Award for Best Actress with her superb acting skills.
When Chen Xiaoyi delivered his acceptance speech on the podium, the audience burst into warm applause and cheers. She unabashedly expressed her deep gratitude to her husband Liu Huining, and frankly admitted that her achievements today are inseparable from her husband's firm support and selfless dedication.
Looking at his wife's deep affection for him, Liu Huining also conveyed the deepest love with his eyes.
This picture is warm and touching, and the audience is moved by it, as if they are in it. However, who would have expected that behind this thunderous applause, a storm was quietly brewing - Chen Xiaoyi was exposed to a cheating scandal for the first time.
A group of photos of her kissing intimately in the car with a director who is eight years younger than her were exposed, which aroused widespread attention from all walks of life. Although both parties and the agent vehemently denied it, the authenticity of the photos is so hard to ignore that it was hard to believe that it was just a misunderstanding.
At this critical moment, Chen Xiaoyi's husband Liu Huining stepped forward and resolutely supported his wife, expressing his willingness to choose to trust her innocence, and implicitly accusing the media of deliberately creating rumors in order to hype up the new drama.
With the comfort and support of her husband, the turmoil was finally calmed down.
Just when everyone thought it was just a short-term misunderstanding, in 2017, Chen Xiaoyi fell into a cheating scandal again. This time, she behaved more daringly, interacting with a young man in a public parking lot, acting inseparably with each other.
When this unsightly picture was noisy in the streets and alleys, the media speculated whether the hero in the hearts of the public, Chen Xiaoyi's husband Liu Huining, would stand up as firmly as before to defend the dignity of his wife and children and shelter them from the wind and rain.
However, it is a pity that this time Liu Huining chose to remain silent and turned a blind eye to his wife's infidelity.
Some people pointed out that in fact, their marriage had long since died in name. Is this Liu Huining trying his best to maintain his last dignity, or has his helplessness and disappointment in his wife's behavior reached the limit? I am afraid that only the couple can truly understand the reason.
Looking back at what Chen Xiaoyi said in an interview, it seems to reveal a deeper reason for us. "My husband and I don't have much in common, he's a director, I'm an actor, and the most we can talk about is the artistic elements of the script, and there's nothing else to say," she says frankly.
In their private lives, they prefer to immerse themselves in TV shows rather than engage in deep communication.
Indeed, the once loving and sweet husband and wife eventually fell apart. Without emotional nourishment, marriage is like water without a source, and it is difficult to maintain it for a long time. Perhaps it is precisely because of the lack of care and love from the other party in life that Chen Xiaoyi will embark on that "wrong path" again and again.
Whenever one thinks of this, one can't help but sigh for it. Back then, her love for her husband was so firm that she even did not hesitate to resist the pressure of public opinion and resolutely married the ordinary-looking Liu Huining.
However, now this deep friendship is as fleeting as fireworks, disappearing without a trace.
However, it is precisely because of this that people have a deep regret for Chen Xiaoyi. She could have become a dazzling star, and even if her career was temporarily sluggish after marriage, as long as she persevered, she would definitely be able to regain her brilliance.
It's a pity that now this light has been extinguished by her own hands, and she has surrounded herself tightly with various scandals.
Today, she still maintains a low-key posture and moves forward silently.
Time flies, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is already March in 2023 with the warm sun. On this day, the reporters captured Chen Xiaoyi's figure again, a family of three happily went out for dinner, Chen Xiaoyi carefully pushed her husband Liu Huining, who was sitting firmly in a wheelchair, and the three of them laughed and laughed constantly, which seemed extraordinarily warm.
When we gaze at Chen Xiaoyi at this moment, we can't help but sigh at the ruthlessness of the years, the radiant and high-profile first-line superstar in the past has now entered middle age. Despite her age, her performance in the entertainment industry has become more and more low-key, and she rarely even posts on social media.
Perhaps, this silence is a kind of deep repentance and self-consolation for her past mistakes. After all, she's been through too many ups and downs — from her initial dream of stardom to being overwhelmed by the responsibilities of marriage and having children, and despite her husband's best efforts to help her regain the top of her career, she has repeatedly been caught up in cheating scandals.
Now, she chooses to use this low-key gesture to maintain her last dignity. Once, for that sincere love, she resolutely married the ordinary-looking Liu Huining despite everyone's doubts, but now this relationship has long been gone, and she can only use silence to keep her meager self-esteem.
However, no matter how many factors in the past scandals are difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, Chen Xiaoyi has always adhered to his dream of being an actor and has never given up his career easily. This may be the embodiment of her last tenacity and indomitable spirit to the world.
She once said frankly: "Without the support and dedication of my husband, I would not be able to stand on this stage." So, what strength does Chen Xiaoyi rely on to support her to continue to move forward on this stage? Is it the longing for the stage in her childhood, or the persistent pursuit of her career? We don't know.
But, at least for sure, she is still in her own way, alive strong, breathing hard, and moving forward with determination.
6. Think calmly and keep an appropriate distance
Looking back on Chen Xiaoyi's ups and downs over the years, what we know is only the tip of the iceberg. The actor's private life is like a closed black box, and the hidden stories in it are only known to the parties themselves.
What we have witnessed is only a few fragmentary exposures, or fragments of information secretly filmed by the paparazzi, and it is likely that the whole ins and outs of the incident have not been fully and deeply understood.
Just like in the past, when Chen Xiaoyi had an extramarital affair for the first time, she and her husband Liu Huining gave an excuse that it was "needed to promote a new play", but when she was involved in the turmoil for the second time, Liu Huining chose to remain silent.
But it is worth pondering whether such a few words can really reveal the truth of the facts? After all, the life circle of actors is often quite closed, and it is difficult for us to peek into the whole picture of many things.
Therefore, in the face of many scandals and gossip in the entertainment industry, as an audience, we must still maintain a calm and rational attitude and an appropriate sense of distance, do not easily sit in the right seat, and cannot make judgments on the merits prematurely.
