Stimulated by an alcohol, Zeng Zhiwei, a heavyweight in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, unabashedly shared with his friends the past that he "used to silently help" Zhou Dongyu, but unfortunately, this remark caused an uproar in the online world.
Zhou Dongyu, who learned of this, only felt hot in his cheeks at first, and then the whole person began to panic. As a girl who has been strictly educated by her mother since childhood, she has always adhered to the bottom line of morality, always maintained an appropriate distance from the opposite sex, and even during the filming process, she never crossed that red line.
However, Zeng Zhiwei's groundless accusation was like a heavy slap in the face, hitting her human dignity hard, and she couldn't help but ask herself, why did her reputation suffer such serious doubts? Zhou Dongyu knew very well that she had never committed any immoral acts, and her heart was full of anger and helplessness for such groundless slander.
During that time, there was endless abuse against her on the Internet, and all kinds of malicious personal attacks and slanderous words emerged one after another. Although the agency quickly issued a statement in an attempt to clear her name in clear words, the rumors snowballed.
Zhou Dongyu watched the development of the situation out of control, and fell into the trough of life, like a lonely boat in the vast sea, confused and helpless.
However, just when everyone thought that her career would fall into a quagmire because of this, Zhou Dongyu gave a strong response with practical actions. In 2019, she teamed up with the famous director Zeng Guoxiang again to create the movie "Young You".
In the film, she vividly portrayed the inner world of a teenager with her superb acting skills, making the audience completely forget her scandal with Zeng Zhiwei, which won high praise, and Zhou Dongyu also won the Best Actress award at the Academy Awards again with her outstanding performance, and completely washed away her grievances with her strength.

However, the merciless tricks of fate shattered their peaceful lives. When Zhou Dongyu was six years old, a sudden car accident ruthlessly took his father's life. This cruel news came as a huge blow to her at a young age.
The family lost their source of income, and the mother had to take on the responsibility of the whole family on her own, working hard outside the home to make ends meet. Zhou Dongyu's young heart was deeply touched, and since then she has gradually shown maturity and sensitivity beyond her peers.
This shadow always haunted Zhou Dongyu's heart, and it was not until she joined the dance class and discovered her love for dance and performance that the path of her life began to change in another direction.

Since childhood, Zhou Dongyu has witnessed her mother's hard work under the pressure of the family, and her eyes, which often carry a touch of sorrow, are just like a true portrayal of her early wisdom.
With the passage of time, Zhou Dongyu gradually shaped a more calm and introverted personality than children of the same age in such an environment, and a little lonely.
However, despite the hardships of life, the family has always maintained a warm atmosphere of positive progress and mutual care. Despite living in poverty, his parents always did their best to create a carefree and beautiful childhood for Zhou Dongyu.
