This old drama bone can be said to be the "living fossil" of Taiwan's entertainment industry. In countless film and television works, he has interpreted a variety of roles, and his style has turned thousands of times, which can be described as a broad drama. But I really didn't expect that the real life of this "old man professional" was even more exciting than what he played in the play. Monogamy? An affair? Kota and Miss live together? What a flavor this really is!
The "rich" family of the Kou family
Kou Shixun was able to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry, but it was not all smooth sailing. He was born into an ordinary family in a military village, and showed extraordinary talent and perseverance from an early age.
At that time, Kou's father and mother were pitiful, and all they had in their pockets was a meager military salary. But Kou Shixun has a hard work in his bones, studied hard in art school, and finally opened up his own world in the drama world with his superb acting skills.
The strength and diligence of a single mother allowed Kou Shixun to learn the way to survive on his own since he was a child. Perhaps it was the poverty of his family that made him self-motivated and motivated, overcoming obstacles all the way and finally becoming a popular superstar.
After a small improvement in his acting career, Kou Shixun did make a lot of money. Some of the money was used by him to build a building for his family, so that the lives of his relatives were finally comfortable.
But that's not enough! One of the incomes was used by Kou Shixun in a surprising place - to buy an apartment for his "two wives", which was the beginning of the well-known "upstairs and downstairs" marriage rumors.
The way of "making money" for monogamy
"They actually live together in the same building? How is this possible?"
When Kou Shixun's marriage experience was exposed, the outside world was in an uproar. According to common sense, it is basically impossible for monogamy and two wives to get along completely. But he did, and it lasted for 27 years, a quarter of a century!
What's the secret? Does it rely on Kou Shixun's "technology" or money ability?
It all started in 1974. At the age of 18, Kou Shixun met his first wife, Cui Yaoqi. The two are childhood sweethearts who have known each other since childhood, and they have a very deep relationship for growing up together.
However, the road for the love couple has not been smooth. After Kou Shixun became famous at a young age, he gradually began to encounter "peach blossom luck" outside, and finally fell into the beauty of Xu Lidan, a supermodel bodybuilding lady.
Unlike most stealing men, Kou Shixun wants to "embrace" these two beauties. In the end, he used the money he earned at the beginning of his career to buy a semi-detached villa in Taipei, so that his original wife Cui Yaoqi and Xu Lidan, the "wild boys", lived upstairs and downstairs respectively.
In this way, the three of them were in the same building, "you live upstairs and I live downstairs", and Kou Shixun personally acted as the "patriarch" and lived a "three-courtyard" collective life in an orderly manner.
I have to say that such an operation is indeed so clever that it is jaw-dropping. Ordinary people are just ordinary people, Kou Shixun is an artist, and he is burdened with the aura of "upright gentleman" and "moral model". It is really surprising that he did such a "dirty" thing.
The new "little master"
Fifteen years passed one after another. Kou Shixun, who has a successful career, seems to have gradually become accustomed to the lifestyle of "one wife and one concubine", and the three of them live together in peace and quiet.
Until 1989, Kou Shixun and Xu Lidan gave birth to a daughter. The birth of this "little master" has undoubtedly greatly improved Xu Lidan's status.
Soon this family became a battle of "one room, two wives and four small mouths". Kou Shixun himself is happy, anyway, the children have nothing to worry about, there are two beautiful mothers to take care of them around the clock.
However, Cui Yaoqi, who is a "positive seal", may not be in such a good mood. The daughter was born as the "eldest son", and at first glance it seems that she should be "deeply blessed".
But let her, as the eldest wife, swallow her anger and watch her husband and the daughter of the junior so close, the psychological gap can be imagined. Such an "embarrassing" status is afraid that she will be unspeakably ashamed in the circle of relatives and friends.
Fortunately, Cui Yaoqi is kind-hearted, and Kou Shixun has never completely abandoned her, so she did not completely break out into a dispute because of this new "little master". Although there are inevitably some small frictions, Cui Yaoqi has always been magnanimous, but she has never cared about anything.
In this way, Kou Shixun's "Double Treasure" marriage life seems to outsiders to have gone through 27 years, and there have been no major waves.
But in fact, this is just because the parties are guilty of revealing the family scandal and suppressing the contradictions. Deep-seated contradictions are never resolved, but accumulate more and deeper over time.
The first conflict broke out was Kou Shixun and Cui Yaoqi's son Kou Jiarui.
Watching this bizarre family situation between his parents since he was a child, Kou Jiarui has a deep-rooted disgust and hatred for it. In the eyes of his children, his father not only cheated, but also reduced the status of the main room to dust for the sake of that green tea Xu Lidan, which is a sin that can never be forgiven.
Kou Jiarui hated Xu Lidan to the core, even if he was no longer childish when he grew up, he never looked at her squarely and regarded her as an unruly person in the family. Every New Year's reunion, watching his father and his outer family run rampant at home, he is tormented in his heart, and he can only force a smile to hide the pain.
Long-standing grievances and resentment finally erupted at a family gathering. In front of relatives and friends, Kou Jiarui accused Kou Shixun of being extravagant and ignoring the relationship between husband and wife, and even scolded Xu Lidan as "a fox who destroys human morality". In a fit of rage, he overturned the table and left the scene in a rage.
This play, which was staged in public without the expectation of both parties, really caused an uproar. Kou Jiarui suddenly became synonymous with "green hat domestic violence scumbag" and was bombarded indiscriminately on the Internet.
After all, it is a father and son family, and Kou Jiarui's behavior is indeed biased. But from another point of view, his anger is understandable. After all, living in such a distorted family environment from an early age can be huge for a child.
The dust has fallen, and the ugliness of the home is hard to hide
As soon as this monk's scandal was exposed, it stirred up thousands of waves inside and outside the entertainment industry, and all kinds of speculation and criticism were rampant. Kou Shixun's family has become a sweet spot for the whole people to watch, and has been subjected to unprecedented pressure from public opinion.
To this day, more than 20 years have passed, and Kou Jiarui is still haunted by that scene. He rarely appears in the media, and never mentions his family. It can be seen how deep the trauma was back then.
In contrast, Kou Shixun himself seems much more free. As an old drama bone, he has long been accustomed to seeing the hot and cold world, and he doesn't care about the rumors and rumors of the outside world. In an interview, he bluntly admitted that he once behaved "bohemian": "If I have the next life, I will never marry two more wives because it is too tiring."
However, Grandpa Kou is not really indifferent to this. After all, the second room was originally out of selfish and physical needs, not some noble sentiments. Looking back now, he can't help but feel a little guilty and remorse for the absurdity of the past.
What's more, as a husband and father, he does owe too much to his original partner Cui Yaoqi and the children. Finally in his old age, Kou Shixun gradually withdrew and took the initiative to clear up his relationship with Xu Lidan's family and concentrate on serving his wife in his old age.
The bizarre ending of the bloody drama
The second grandmother, Xu Lidan, is probably the biggest loser in the absurd drama of the Kou family.
At first, she was ambitious, and agreed to marry into the Kou family with the good wish of getting a piece of the pie. Even if she was only arranged to live downstairs at the beginning, she also hoped that with her young and beautiful capital, she would one day be able to climb to the throne of Zhengyin.
