Preamble:
The art of cross talk is a pearl of traditional Chinese culture.
The cross talk actors bring laughter to the audience with humorous language and superb performance skills.
However, behind the glamorous stage, how many people know the emotional life of the cross talk actors?
Will they also experience the twists and turns of love, the setbacks of marriage?
When the red line of fate ties two people together, what kind of ups and downs of life story will be staged?
Hou Yaowen and Yuan Yin: 20 years of age difference, 11 years of marriage
Hou Yaowen, a master in the cross talk industry, is an artist with both virtue and art.
The combination of him and Yuan Yin was originally a good story.
In 1990, Hou Yaowen, who had passed his prime, met Yuan Yin, a young actor who graduated from Beijing Film Academy.
Although the age difference between the two is 20 years, Yuan Yin is deeply attracted by Hou Yaowen's talent and charm.
In an interview, she once said: "In him (Hou Yaowen), I found three feelings of father, brother, and lover at the same time, and I couldn't tell whether this feeling was good or not, I only felt that I needed these three kinds of love." "
Yuan Yin and Hou Yaowen's acquaintance originated from a theatrical encounter.
At that time, Hou Yaowen was filming a TV series, and Yuan Yin happened to play a woman who loved Hou Yaowen's role in the play.
In and out of the play, the two burst out with a spark of love.
Hou Yaowen's humorous wisdom and elegant demeanor made the young Yuan Yin fascinated.
And Yuan Yin's beauty, liveliness and empathy also made Hou Yaowen feel very gratified.
Despite the 20-year age gap, they felt the resonance of each other's souls.
Coincidentally, in the same year that Hou Yaowen and Yuan Yin met, Hou Yaowen and his first wife Liu Yan also officially divorced.
Although there is no clear evidence that there is a direct connection between the two events, people will inevitably wonder: Was it because he met Yuan Yin that Hou Yaowen made up his mind to end his previous marriage?
Or, the trauma of divorce made Hou Yaowen even more eager for a new relationship?
Whatever the truth, the gears of fate have begun to turn, intertwining the trajectories of the two people's lives.
Although Yuan Yin's parents complained about this sister-brother relationship, the power of love finally overcame everything.
In 1993, Hou Yaowen and Yuan Yin officially married in Beijing and began their 11-year married life.
After marriage, Yuan Yin gave birth to a daughter for Hou Yaowen, named Hou Yishan, nicknamed Niuniu.
seems to be a happy family, but it also buries hidden dangers.
For a 48-year-old man, the birth of a child again should be another peak moment in his life.
However, the heavy work and the age gap with his wife make it difficult for Hou Yaowen to enjoy the joy of family.
He often performs outside and rarely spends time with his wife and daughter, and gradually, the relationship between the husband and wife has cracked.
Despite this, in the eyes of outsiders, they are still a loving couple, the "golden boy and girl" on the cross talk stage.
Who would have thought that behind this glamorous appearance, there was a hidden crisis of marriage breakdown?
Busy at work, feelings fade
As a well-known cross talk actor, Hou Yaowen is very busy with work.
He performs in other places all year round and rarely spends time with his wife and daughter.
Gradually, the couple began to live separately and rarely communicated.
In an interview in 2004, Yuan Yin said frankly: "It is impossible for more than ten years without bumps and bumps, whether it is together or not, it is normal that fate is over." "
Between the words, there is already a kind of helplessness.
In fact, long-term separations do have a negative impact on marital relationships.
When two people are unable to see each other often, there is a lack of communication and exchange, and the relationship is prone to problems.
In addition, there is an obvious age gap between Hou Yaowen and Yuan Yin, and the differences in lifestyles and values may also exacerbate the contradictions.
Although Yuan Yin used to be full of admiration for Hou Yaowen, the passage of time and the tempering of reality have gradually faded this feeling.
However, what is puzzling is that just a few months before Yuan Yin said "fate is over", she was still in an interview with "Bosom Friend" magazine, praising Hou Yaowen as "a big man who loves me and loves me", and said that her parents were also happy that she married a good man.
Such a contrast can't help but make people think about it.
What was the reason why Yuan Yin changed her attitude towards marriage in just a few months?
Is there something hidden that no one knows?
Or is this just her momentary emotion and does not represent her true thoughts?
In any case, the contrast between Yuan Yin's words and deeds has laid the groundwork for this marriage.
What is even more shocking is the news that shortly after Hou Yaowen's death, Yuan Yin quickly married Hou Yaowen's nephew Dai Zhicheng.
All of this seems to point to a disturbing conjecture.
Dai Zhicheng and Yuan Yin: Sister and brother love in controversy
In 2004, Hou Yaowen and Yuan Yin officially divorced.
In the same year, Hou Yaowen's nephew Dai Zhicheng also divorced his wife Yang Lei.
The outside world has speculated whether there are some ulterior secrets between Dai Zhicheng and Yuan Yin.
Dai Zhicheng denied this, saying that this was "nonsense".
And Hou Yaowen also defended the two, saying that they were just innocent friends.
However, after that, Hou Yaowen never performed on the same stage with Dai Zhicheng again.
The relationship between Dai Zhicheng and Yuan Yin undoubtedly added a shadow to this marriage that had already attracted much attention.
People will inevitably speculate: When Hou Yaowen and Yuan Yin's marriage went wrong, did Dai Zhicheng already get involved?
Is his relationship with Yuan Yin beyond ordinary friendship?
Although the parties denied it, the voices of doubts from the outside world never stopped.
What's even more puzzling is that Dai Zhicheng and Yuan Yin divorced almost at the same time, which inevitably reminds people of whether there is some kind of connection between them.
Although Hou Yaowen strongly supported the innocence of the two, his move of not performing on the same stage with Dai Zhicheng since then seems to be silently expressing a certain attitude.
People can't help but ask: If Dai Zhicheng and Yuan Yin are really innocent, why did Hou Yaowen draw a line with his nephew?
Does he also have doubts about the relationship between the two deep down?
On June 23, 2007, Hou Yaowen died suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 59.
Just two days later, on June 25, the media broke the shocking news: Dai Zhicheng and Yuan Yin are married!
As soon as the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar.
It is hard to believe that just two days after Hou Yaowen's death, his nephew quickly married his aunt.
This "sister and brother love" has once again become the focus of public attention.
The marriage between Dai Zhicheng and Yuan Yin undoubtedly cast a shadow over Hou Yaowen's death.
People can't help but ask: Is there an ulterior secret between them?
When Hou Yaowen was alive, did he already notice the ambiguity between his wife and his nephew?
In the last moments of his life, did he feel betrayed by his loved ones?
All kinds of questions, like mysteries, make people puzzled.
However, no matter how the outside world doubts it, the marriage between Dai Zhicheng and Yuan Yin seems to be a foregone conclusion.
After Hou Yaowen's death, they quickly bonded and formed a new family.
Perhaps, for the controversial couple, it was a brave attempt to find happiness.
For onlookers, this sister-brother relationship will undoubtedly become a good story in the cross talk circle.
Happy restructured family
Although the outside world is full of controversy about the marriage of Dai Zhicheng and Yuan Yin, the couple has gone through nearly 20 years of ups and downs hand in hand amid doubts.
In the past years, they have raised Hou Yaowen's daughter Niuniu together and formed a warm and strong family.
In this reconstituted family, Dai Zhicheng played a competent father role.
He took care of Niuniu's growth, giving her love and teaching, as if she was his own daughter.
And Yuan Yin, as a mother, has also devoted all her efforts to this family.
In the eyes of outsiders, they seem to have completely abandoned the entanglements of the past, started anew on the road of love, and opened a new chapter in their lives.
Dai Zhicheng's career after marriage can also be described as smooth.
He not only won the honorary title of "National Young and Middle-aged Literary and Art Workers", but also appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala many times, and together with his partner Jiang Kun, he dedicated wonderful cross talk performances to the national audience.
Today, Dai Zhicheng is one of the main performers of the China Radio Rap Troupe, active on stages all over the country.
In February 2024, he and Jiang Kun also broadcast the "Intangible Cultural Heritage Crosstalk Conference" live on the Douyin platform, which attracted widespread attention.
Dai Zhicheng's achievements in the career of cross talk are undoubtedly inseparable from the happiness he has gained in life.
A person can only make greater progress in his career when his family life is happy and his soul is comforted.
Although Dai Zhicheng and Yuan Yin's marriage has experienced all kinds of twists and turns, in the end, they still found happiness that belongs to each other.
This happiness is not only reflected in the bits and pieces of life, but also in Dai Zhicheng's rising career achievements.
Perhaps, it is precisely because of a warm and supportive family that Dai Zhicheng can show his talent and pursue a higher artistic realm on the cross talk stage with a more calm and confident attitude.
And Yuan Yin, as his wife, undoubtedly gave him the greatest support and encouragement.
Epilogue:
Time flies, and the world changes.
The emotional entanglement 20 years ago has become a thing of the past.
Although Hou Yaowen has passed away for many years, his artistic achievements and personality charm will always be engraved in people's hearts.
And Dai Zhicheng and Yuan Yin, despite all kinds of controversies, the years they have gone hand in hand have also proved a truth: as long as they are with the right people, they can reap happiness and success.
Perhaps, we don't need to dwell too much on the past and judge what is right and wrong.
The living should live in the moment, enjoy life, and pursue their dreams.
