1. Today's predicament
Cao Qing, the famous host of CCTV in the past, has a thriving career and a bright future. However, for a transnational romance, she did not hesitate to give up her cherished job opportunity and married Tu Zhonghuan, a male doctor from the United States, without hesitation.
This transnational marriage, which was supposed to be full of warmth and romance, turned out to be the darkest and most painful nightmare in Cao Qing's life.
When she first arrived in the United States, Cao Qing discovered that Tu Zhonghuan's previous depictions of luxury cars, spacious villas, and privileged lives were all illusory lies. In fact, he was just an ordinary salaryman.
What's even more chilling is that this once prosperous doctor, after removing the mask of hypocrisy, revealed a shocking cruel nature.
He wantonly squandered Cao Qing's hard-earned money, and indulged in a luxurious life. treats his wife, he beats and scolds, and abuses him in every way. Cao Qing, who was originally slender, plummeted to only 90 catties under endless violence, and her shape was skeletal.
What's even more terrifying is that Tu Zhonghuan firmly controls Cao Qing's personal freedom. With only a temporary visa, Cao Qing was unable to find work in the United States and was isolated. She tried to ask for help many times, but no one paid attention.
As the main breadwinner of the family, Cao Qing could only silently endure the cold scorching of the leftovers given by Tu Zhonghuan and struggled to survive.
The most outrageous and unbelievable thing is that during Cao Qing's menstrual period, Tu Zhonghuan actually forced her to use only one pack of sanitary napkins for a whole year. She has no words to describe the pain and suffering she endured during that time.
In desperation, Cao Qing could only secretly shoot videos of her abuse and send out distress signals on the Internet.
However, despite the video's widespread spread on the Internet, which sparked strong public indignation and deep sympathy, Cao Qing's relatives and friends avoided the former "CCTV star" and no one was willing to lend a hand.
Only the parents on the other end of the phone begged their daughter to be strong and cheer up, muster up the last courage, report the divorce to the police, and get rid of this nightmare marriage.
Second, the road of a brilliant career
In fact, Cao Qing has always relied on unremitting efforts and hard work to create her brilliant career. Determined to be an excellent host since she was a child, she studied diligently and continued to hone herself, and finally was able to step into the vast world of CCTV.
Ms. Cao Qing was born in Suzhou to a wealthy and intelligent family, and her parents are elite in the business world. Since childhood, they have attached great importance to the exploration and cultivation of their daughter's potential abilities in all aspects.
It is in such a carefully cultivated environment that Cao Qing has shown outstanding performance talent since she was a child, and whenever the school holds various cultural and artistic activities, she always takes the initiative to sign up without hesitation, and her outstanding hosting talent can quickly shine.
Entering high school, Cao Qing strengthened her determination to be admitted to Beijing Broadcasting Institute for further study as an art student. She spent a lot of time and effort on her preparations, but unfortunately, it didn't work out in the end.
However, thanks to her father's extensive network in the business field, she successfully stepped into the long-awaited ideal university - Communication University of China.
Although she is not a hosting major, Cao Qing's persistent belief in hosting dreams has never wavered. In her spare time, she worked tirelessly to teach herself about radio and television, and her performance in class even surpassed that of many of her classmates.
She always goes out of her way to make the most of all the free time available to her to concentrate on improving her hosting skills.
During the four years of university, Cao Qing has accumulated rich hosting experience in front of and behind the scenes, which has laid a solid foundation for her future hosting career. After graduation, she successively joined Beijing Internet TV, China Education Television and other institutions, engaged in reporters, editors and directors.
Despite the difficulties in the initial stage and the uneven environment, she never gave up and always stuck to her dreams.
Finally, in 2000, Cao Qing emerged and was honored to serve as the host of CCTV's science and education program "Into Science". With her deep professionalism and unique charisma, she quickly rose to prominence on the biggest stage in the country and became a shining star.
Cao Qing's charm continues to bloom, and the large-scale program "Focus on Three Rural Areas" hosted by her and the live broadcast of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games have won warm praise from the audience.
However, just as her career was reaching its peak, this bright pearl was moved by the affectionate pursuit of an American doctor Tu Zhonghuan, who was 20 years older than her, and she resolutely gave up everything for this love.
When the time came to Tu Zhongheng's life stage, which was over 30 years old, he was deeply attracted by Cao Qing, a young, beautiful, and intelligent CCTV host. So, he launched a fierce and scorching pursuit offensive, frequently inviting her to share romantic dinner time, and the relationship between the two developed like a rocket.
In the face of Tu Zhongheng's calm and elegant temperament, Cao Qing could hardly resist this charm, and the defense in her heart quietly collapsed. Under Tu Zhongheng's passionate, sincere and touching pursuit, Cao Qing soon fell into the sweet ocean of love and lost all her sanity.
When Cao Qing's parents learned that their daughter had decided to marry the foreign doctor, who was 20 years older than them, they were naturally vehemently opposed and worried. They advised Cao Qing many times to think carefully and not to make such an important decision on the spur of the moment.
However, the flame of love has completely engulfed Cao Qing's sanity. She turned a deaf ear to her parents' admonitions, and even ignored the repeated persuasions of relatives and friends, resolutely followed her inner voice, and made this decision - for love, she will bid farewell to the professional stage of CCTV, marry Tu Zhonghuan, and go to the United States.
At that fateful moment of proposal, Cao Qing's eyes flashed with excitement and happiness, and she took the brilliant diamond ring that Tu Zhonghuan personally wore for her with trembling hands.
Deep down, she is extremely proud and satisfied with this decision, and is full of good expectations for her future life. No one can stop her determination to pursue true love.
However, the life after marriage is far from Cao Qing's imagination. From the very beginning, Tu Zhonghuan's attitude towards Cao Qing has undergone earth-shaking changes. His original image of a gentle gentleman faded, revealing his cruel and selfish true face.
Not only did he squander Cao Qing's hard-earned wealth and indulge in luxurious lifestyles, but what was worse was that he began to use violence against Cao Qing and arbitrarily dominate everything she had.
As the main breadwinner of the family, Cao Qing suffers from severe malnutrition every day. The once slender figure, under Tu Zhonghuan's punches and kicks, his weight plummeted to a miserable situation of only 90 pounds.
The most shocking and unbelievable thing is that Tu Zhonghuan actually deprived Cao Qing of her personal freedom without humanity and imprisoned her firmly at home. Cao Qing has struggled countless times to send a distress signal to the outside world, but because she only holds a temporary visa, she cannot legally work in the United States, and has been in a helpless situation, and can only silently endure the endless torture and abuse inflicted on her by Tu Zhonghuan.
Tu Zhonghuan's way of treating Cao Qing can be described as exhaustive and deep into the bone marrow. Once, reflecting his irrepressible hatred, he directly snatched Cao Qing's share of the food that should belong to her, and instead gave her some rotten and spoiled food to satisfy her.
In this case, Cao Qing could only swallow those disgusting leftovers with tears.
What's even more creepy and unimaginable is that during Cao Qing's menstrual period, Tu Zhonghuan brutally forced her to use only one pack of sanitary napkins for a whole year. Faced with the severe pain caused by the menstrual period and the harsh living environment, Cao Qing had nowhere to talk and could only bear the endless pain alone.
She wept in despair, begging her husband to let her live.
However, Tu Zhonghuan never showed the slightest mercy, and he always faced his wife's pain with that seemingly apologetic but mocking smile, turning a blind eye to her suffering.
Sometimes, he would even pick up a whip and mercilessly whip Cao Qing's already bruised body, as a way to vent his deep anger and twisted pleasure.
In desperation, Cao Qing could only quietly take videos of these abuses and ask for help online. When the video went viral on the web, it immediately sparked intense public indignation and deep sympathy.
However, former relatives and friends have avoided this former "CCTV star", they only value monetary interests and are no longer willing to lend a hand.
Only parents, after seeing those shocking videos, are filled with incomparable anger and deep grief in their hearts. On the phone, they earnestly advised their daughter to bravely shake off the shackles of domestic violence and return to her parents' arms as soon as possible.
However, Cao Qing was powerless to resist, and her heart had already been destroyed beyond recognition by Tu Zhonghuan's atrocities.
