1. The endless resentment of his son Li Xiaoke
As the 38-year-old Li Xiaoke sat alone in the dimly lit rental house, his eyes looked dull and his face was filled with gloomy mist. Again and again, he could only helplessly recall the past that was hidden deep in his heart and made him unforgettable-the person who left him a lifelong shadow was his biological father Li Youbin.
has lost the company of his father since he was a child, and Li Xiaoke's growth process is all handled by his mother Zhang Ruiqi. At that time, the family of three could barely squeeze into a corner of the rental house, living a life of struggling.
Mother Zhang Ruiqi always silently bears the pressure of life and works hard in housework; His father, Li Youbin, was out and about all day, looking for work to earn money for his family.
However, a turning point in fate came in 2005. Father Li Youbin became famous overnight for starring in the role of "Li Yunlong" in the anti-Japanese TV series "Bright Sword", which allowed the mother and son to have a warm home again.
However, the good times did not last long, only a year later, in 2006, his parents announced their divorce, and his mother Zhang Ruiqi's hard work to raise him alone came to naught.
What's even more unbearable is that his father Li Youbin quickly fell in love with his third wife Shi Lanya, who was 13 years younger than him, after the divorce, and even turned his back on his mother Zhang Ruiqi, who had worked hard for him for many years.
Li Xiaoke watched as this woman not only took away his mother, but her son Han Han also took all the favor of his father.
Since then, Li Xiaoke has been full of deep frustration with the word marriage. Now 38 years old, he would rather die alone than get involved in the palace of marriage.
In the depths of his heart, how he longed for his father to understand the importance of family and no longer live up to his mother's affection.
Although he tried to resolve the conflict with his father on several occasions, the rift between father and son seemed to be irreparable. Father Li Youbin once vowed that divorce would never affect his love for his son.
However, the cruel truth is that Li Xiaoke can't even get 20% of his father's love, and the remaining 80% is all owned by his stepson Hanhan.
2. The sinful love between Li Youbin and Shi Lanya
In 2008, a photo of Li Youbin and Shi Lanya walking intimately on the street went viral on the Internet and attracted widespread attention. The identity of this "newcomer" can't help but lead to reverie - Li Youbin has just ended a failed marriage and has been named a "scumbag"; And Shi Lanya is a third-married actress who is 13 years younger than him and has rich emotional experience.
In the face of public opinion questions and suspicions, Li Youbin did not choose to avoid or cover up the truth in a low-key manner, on the contrary, he boldly clarified publicly with an unwavering attitude, confirming that he and Shi Lanya have become a couple! This news has aroused widespread attention like igniting a powder keg, and accusations and denunciations against Li Youbin have emerged on the Internet - he was named "cheating in marriage", and was accused of being a negative man, and even abandoned his wife Zhang Ruiqi, who had been in trouble together, and threw himself into the arms of his new love Shi Lanya.
Faced with the grim situation, Li Youbin's ex-wife Zhang Ruiqi had to come forward and try to cool down the incident. She issued a statement on social media, frankly saying that the relationship between the two had cracked many years ago, and it was not due to the intervention of a third party that led to the divorce.
However, despite her confession, deep down in her heart, she was still full of deep regret for Li Youbin's behavior.
In fact, there is indeed a little-known secret love affair between Li Youbin and Shi Lanya. This relationship began in 2003, when they co-starred in the costume drama "Jiangshan". The crew is undoubtedly a hotbed for a beautiful marriage - at that time, the relationship between Li Youbin and Zhang Ruiqi was in a cooling period, and Shi Lanya had just ended his second marriage.
In the day and night of the crew, Li Youbin and Shi Lanya gradually developed a tacit understanding, and they changed from husband and wife roles in the play to confidants and friends in real life. As time passed, their friendship continued to sublimate and eventually reached the palace of marriage.
However, it is surprising that this layer of window paper was ruthlessly pierced in just five years, and their marriage was made public in 2008.
For Li Youbin's new love Shi Lanya, the outside world's evaluation shows a polarized trend. Some people accuse her of being a "master" who is good at playing tricks, and the family background of her three husbands combined is far better than Li Youbin; However, there are also people who hold different opinions, thinking that how can this woman who has experienced two marriages be able to replace the "wife" Zhang Ruiqi who once gave selfless support to Li Youbin during his Beipiao period? The grievances and entanglements between them are probably only known to the parties concerned.
3. The hard years of drifting north for the dream
In order to realize his dream of being an actor, Li Youbin tried his best to perform in the streets and alleys of Beijing, but no one cared about him. In 1984, with full of enthusiasm, he took his wife Zhang Ruiqi and his newborn son Li Xiaoke to embark on the road to the north drift.
The living environment deteriorated dramatically, and the family of three could barely squeeze into a corner of the rental house. However, Zhang Ruiqi has never expressed any complaints about this, she wholeheartedly supports her husband in chasing his ideals, and silently dedicates everything she has.
Every time he saw his wife and children working hard for him, Li Youbin felt deep guilt and self-blame. He has a firm belief that he will build a beautiful family with his hard-working hands.
Li Youbin searched for job opportunities everywhere during the day, and performed non-stop in various bars and street stages at night, constantly working hard, his wife Zhang Ruiqi stopped her career, devoted herself to the family, and did her best to take on the responsibilities of a housewife.
However, time is like a ruthless blade, gradually severing their love. The long-term separation has made the distance between husband and wife more and more distant, Zhang Ruiqi can't stand Li Youbin's fanatical pursuit of career, busy every day, and neglected to care about the family.
Until 2006, their married life finally couldn't bear the pressure and came to an end, after 24 years of ups and downs, they chose to break up, although the breakup was the result of a joint decision by both parties, but Zhang Ruiqi's heart must be full of endless bitterness and helplessness.
Fourth, "Bright Sword" won full applause
Life is like a game of chess, whenever we fall into a trough, we need to show greater courage and wisdom to break through the difficulties.
In 1997, 48-year-old Li Youbin was at the lowest point in his life, and a TV series called "Bright Sword" brought him new vitality and turnaround. The image of Li Yunlong he created in the play is a tough guy who is full of swear words and is brave and good at fighting, which is in stark contrast to the mild-mannered elegance of Li Youbin himself.
As soon as this drama was broadcast, it immediately set off a heated discussion among the audience and became a well-known classic, Li Youbin also became famous in one fell swoop with the representative role of "Li Yunlong", and tasted the sweet fruits of his career success, he once excitedly told his wife Zhang Ruiqi that even if life after divorce is hard, it will gradually improve because of this work, and the pain of parting in the past will eventually disappear However, the good times did not last long, and the marriage relationship between the two soon cracked.
Fifth, in his early years, he mixed in the world of drama
After the hard work of Beijing, we still need to trace back to Li Youbin's youth when he was young in the drama industry.
In 1958, Li Youbin, who was born in Changchun, a famous historical and cultural city, has shown enthusiasm and talent for acting since he was a child. At the age of 5, he has already begun to embark on the path of performance full of challenges and opportunities.
In his childhood, he was elegant and dignified, dignified and dignified, and was known as a "genius child star".
However, the moment that really ignited his love for acting was when he successfully stepped into the Changchun Repertory Theatre at the age of 18.
In this rich source of art, there is a beautiful and moving "group flower", she is Zhang Ruiqi. Not only does she have stunning looks and a prominent family background, but she is also loved by many suitors.
And Li Youbin, who had just entered adulthood at that time, did not hesitate to dedicate his deep affection to this "group flower" beauty.
During their days in the troupe, they gradually met and fell in love, and became the most eye-catching "talented and beautiful" combination in the art world. The first love is as crystal clear as the dew in the morning, without any worries and troubles, only the passion and joy of youth.
Although life in the drama industry is full of poetry, life is relatively less stressful. Zhang Ruiqi could have enjoyed his old age in this small world, but Li Youbin has even grander ambitions, and he does not want to stand still.
So, in 1984, when the TV series swept the country like a storm, he resolutely gave up his drama career, left his hometown with his family, and began a journey to the north to find that bigger dream stage.
In the face of her husband's decision, Zhang Ruiqi unreservedly expressed her full support. Since then, she has been ready to spend the rest of her life with difficult circumstances. Later facts proved that her hunch was not wrong, and the family of three tasted the ups and downs of life in a rental house in Beijing.
