On a specific day in 1997, Liu Yifei, who was receiving her fourth grade education, returned home from school. She slowly unlocked the door of her home, and was greeted by a terrifying picture that made people's hearts palpitate.
This gentle and beautiful mother, Liu Xiaoli, was fragile and powerless at this time, and was half-squatting on the edge of the balcony window in despair, her whole body almost hanging out, as if she would fall into the endless abyss at any time.
Liu Yifei was stunned by the scene in front of her, and she stared blankly at this sudden upheaval.
It's hard to understand.
In fact, long before the tense and fierce confrontation, the conflict between An Shaokang and Liu Xiaoli had escalated to the point where it could not be resolved. As an artist focusing on dance, Liu Xiaoli's almost crazy enthusiasm for her work, while An Shaokang's expectation that his wife can become a good wife and mother in the traditional concept, finally exploded in this year.
In the course of the quarrel, the two parties reached a consensus: to end the 12-year marriage. And Liu Xiaoli's only requirement is that her daughter Liu Yifei must be completely raised by her personally.
In order to achieve this goal, she even threatened at the cost of her own life, which eventually forced An Shaokang to make compromises.
So Liu Xiaoli became a tenacious and unyielding single mother, and began a new life journey full of challenges and unknowns.
At that moment, Liu Xiaoli's determination and courage to risk her life were indeed awe-inspiring. But what is the deep-seated reason that drove this once brilliant beauty to such an extreme path? In order to reveal the mystery, we must trace the timeline back to Liu Xiaoli's golden years when she was young and shining.
In 1959, Liu Xiaoli was born in Harbin, the famous "Ice and Snow City" in Northeast China, and she was born into an excellent cadre family. Perhaps it is because of the excellent genetics of the ancestors that the children in this family show a beautiful appearance beyond ordinary people from an early age.
Liu Xiaoli's mother and her aunt, if they lived today, would easily become the focus of director Zhang Yimou's lens.
In this family with amazing "appearance", the most brilliant "pearl" is none other than Liu Xiaoli. Since she was a child, she has been bathed in a strong artistic atmosphere, exuding an innate noble temperament.
Time flies, we come to the age of 17, a beautiful flower blooms in the warm sunshine from the perspective of that fate, igniting the spark of life. Liu Xiaoli shows her light and graceful dancing posture on the stage with a profound artistic significance, like a vigorous "eagle soaring in the nine skies", and like a long dragon that "soars in the fog and shocks the nine heavens", showing a breathtaking charm.
Her every move, smile and cheek, all show a charming demeanor, as if in the beautiful scenery of "spring moon reflecting flowers, winter snow flying". Although she was young at that time, she had already become a radiant star in the theater, attracting countless eyes from near and far. They braved hardships and crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, just to see her delicate face and listen to her melodious singing.
As the saying goes, "no one is perfect", Liu Xiaoli is not perfect. She has an independent personality and often responds indifferently to those who are reluctant to give up her suitors, and soon won the reputation of "Iceberg Beauty".
However, among the many suitors, there is one man who is steadfast and unwavering - and that is her future husband, An Shaokang. An Shaokang is not only a knowledgeable scholar, but also a talented poet, who writes words of praise for Liu Xiaoli every day with affectionate brushstrokes, calling her "peerless and outstanding in dance".
In the end, the affectionate poetry of this literati touched Liu Xiaoli's heart. In 1985, in a heavy snow of goose feathers, An Shaokang put on a white veil for Liu Xiaoli, symbolizing the beginning of their love.
Two years later, they ushered in the birth of their beloved daughter, and Liu Xiaoli's life has been closely linked to her daughter since then, and she can no longer be separated.
After marriage, Liu Xiaoli and An Shaokang have huge differences in concepts. An Shaokang hopes that his wife can become a virtuous and kind housewife, but Liu Xiaoli can't agree with this.
She loves her career in dance and is committed to it.
The conflict between the couple accumulated day by day until 1997, when it finally erupted. After a heated argument, the two reached a consensus: to end this 12-year marriage.
And Liu Xiaoli's only requirement is that her daughter Liu Yifei must be fully raised by her.
In order to achieve this goal, Liu Xiaoli made a desperate bet, even at the cost of her life. In the face of such a resolute attitude of his wife, An Shaokang could not do anything but choose to compromise.
In this way, as a single mother, Liu Xiaoli unswervingly started a new life full of endless unknowns. For the newcomer to Los Angeles, it was difficult to face life's challenges on her own and take on the responsibility of caring for her young daughter. Without the selfless assistance of so many kind people, the situation of mother and daughter would have been even more difficult, and they might have to live on the streets and rest on park benches late at night.
In order to gain a foothold in the unfamiliar continental United States and create a stable family environment for her daughter, Liu Xiaoli had to accept a marriage proposal from a Chinese-American lawyer. Although she had no feelings for this lawyer, she resolutely entered the new marriage hall in a desperate situation.
After marriage, Liu Xiaoli finally succeeded in obtaining green cards for herself and her daughter, opening a new chapter in her life. However, this does not mean that everything will be smooth, on the contrary, more challenges are waiting for her to face bravely and work hard to overcome.
She was physically and mentally exhausted from her busy schedule and caring for her daughter, and even had to face the bleakness of her career prospects after she fell during a stage performance.
However, she has always been resilient and has done her best to maintain the life of mother and daughter.
Just when Liu Xiaoli's mother and daughter were struggling to survive in the United States and settle down with what happened, the appearance of a person completely subverted Liu Yifei's life path. This person is the famous wealthy businessman Chen Jinfei.
As early as the eighties and nineties of the last century, Chen Jinfei had passionately pursued Liu Xiaoli. It's just that at that time, he was still in the initial stage of his career and had a humble status, so he was coldly rejected by Liu Xiaoli many times.
By the time he became famous and was on the Forbes rich list, Liu Xiaoli had already entered the palace of marriage. This has undoubtedly become an eternal pain in Chen Jinfei's heart and a regret in his life.
At a grand dinner in 1992, 5-year-old Liu Yifei met Chen Jinfei for the first time, and out of the child's innocence, she affectionately called Chen Jinfei "Dad".
Hearing this warm call, Chen Jinfei was overjoyed and immediately decided to adopt this "righteous daughter".
Time flies, time flies, and in the blink of an eye, 2002 has passed, and a full decade has passed since the first encounter between Chen Jinfei and Liu Xiaoli. In the summer of that year, Chen Jinfei needed to cross the ocean to the United States of America for official business, and on the way, he took precious time to visit Liu Yifei, the "righteous daughter" he had not met for ten years. The moment he saw her again, Chen Jinfei was deeply shocked - time is like a magician, carving the once childish little girl into a graceful and moving girl, like the peerless Liu Xiaoli who reappeared on the screen, and her gestures are full of a strong bookish atmosphere.
At this moment, Chen Jinfei's heart was full of emotion and excitement, and he secretly decided to use all his strength to fully support this "righteous daughter" with outstanding talents and appearance, in order to compensate for his regret that he couldn't keep Liu Xiaoli many years ago. So, he asked affectionately, "My love, have you ever quietly dreamed of your future dream?, if so, please tell me, and I will do my best to help you realize it." "
Liu Yifei was silent for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "I hope that one day I can become a superstar like Audrey Hepburn, who is loved by people all over the world." Hearing this, Chen Jinfei couldn't help laughing, for him, it was easy to realize this small wish.
So Chen Jinfei relied on his deep financial resources and extensive influence to pave the way for Liu Yifei to the Beijing Film Academy and help her successfully enter the entertainment industry. At the same time, Chen Jinfei also invited Liu Xiaoli to follow her daughter back to China and start a new chapter in the life of mother and daughter.
However, when Liu Yifei entered the entertainment industry, her young and innocent beauty immediately aroused the coveting of some people. One day, during filming on the set, she was viciously attacked and violently assaulted. At that moment, Liu Yifei felt endless humiliation and fear, and burst into tears on the spot.
After learning of this, Liu Xiaoli, who was at the scene at the time, was like a lioness protecting her cubs, and instantly fell into extreme anger and uneasiness. Nervous, she quickly rushed to the scene of the incident and resolutely prevented any further violations.
Liu Xiaoli bravely blocked all the onlookers and angrily warned the director: "If you can't find out who did such a bad act today, everyone present will not want to leave easily!" A group actor who witnessed this scene recalled that Liu Xiaoli was as imposing as a rainbow at that time, which was awe-inspiring.
At that thrilling moment, an assistant director tried to intervene in mediation, but it attracted Liu Xiaoli's vicious counterattack - two painful slaps. The scene shocked everyone, and everyone on the scene was too timid to make a sound, and it was not until the dead of night that they gradually dispersed piecemeal.
Even though Liu Xiaoli's attitude was as hard as steel, in that palpitating incident, the truth was not dug deep because the crowd at the scene was too dense at the time. However, this experience profoundly made Liu Xiaoli aware of the darkness and challenges of the entertainment industry.
From then on, she decided to stand by her daughter's side for any possible threat.
In the next few years, Liu Xiaoli relied on her deep connections in the entertainment industry to pave a smooth path to success for her daughter. At the same time, she skillfully isolated most of the men from Liu Yifei's three meters away, so that they could not approach her daughter, thus ensuring Liu Yifei's personal safety.
This practice sparked ridicule and sarcasm from many. The well-known director Zhang Jizhong once humorously said to Liu Yifei: "Your mother is the real 'Iron Lady'!"
Although Chen Jinfei and his new love Yang Caiyu later got together, many people predicted that Liu Yifei's future would become bleak. However, this is not the case, because during this period, Liu Xiaoli has carefully planned for her daughter behind the scenes, building an indestructible "relationship network", which has laid a solid foundation for her to gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry.
Time flies, and Liu Yifei has been in the entertainment industry for nearly 20 years. Her achievements have been remarkable and the future is full of hope.
As an artist, Liu Yifei has naturally experienced a frenzy of doubts and criticism. However, she was never shackled by these gossips, but moved forward bravely and unswervingly towards the other side of her dreams.
Looking back on Liu Yifei's growth process, it is not difficult to find that the reason why she can be so calm and confident is largely due to the selfless and firm care and protection of her mother Liu Xiaoli.
It was Liu Xiaoli who used all her love and courage to forge an impregnable line of defense for her daughter, allowing Liu Yifei to soar freely in the turbulent ocean of the entertainment industry and show her endless potential.
However, as a mother, Liu Xiaoli can so meticulously guard her cherished daughter, which is really a heartfelt admiration and admiration, and sincerely worthy of respect and praise from each of us!
