One day in 2023, the backstage of the Capital Theater ushered in a thought-provoking plot: actor Chen Xiaoyi and her baby son Liu Hengfu spent laughter and laughter together, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm.
However, the reversal lies in the fact that her husband Liu Huining, who is also a man, is still sitting quietly in a wheelchair, with no expression on his face and a look in eclipsed eyes, this wonderful family trio is like a broken mirror, reflecting their once happy and happy married life, but now it is shattered Looking at the intimate interaction between his wife and son, Liu Huining's heart has mixed feelings - both gratification and a trace of bitterness.
The couple's emotional journey can be described as ups and downs, after many separations and reunions, and even once became a passerby. Perhaps, all the problems can be traced back to that night more than a decade ago.
In the middle of the night in 2009, a sudden car accident completely upended the trajectory of Liu Huining's life, and since then, he has had to start a long wheelchair career, and when Liu Huining suffered this life catastrophe, his wife Chen Xiaoyi was captured by the paparazzi in an extremely intimate scene - she kissed and hugged another well-known director in the car, completely ignoring any evasive behavior.
Faced with his wife's infidelity, Liu Huining unexpectedly chose forgiveness. He not only covered up the facts for his wife, but also tried his best to defend her, claiming that "his wife was just an unintentional intimate contact, but she was maliciously hyped by the paparazzi".
However, according to insiders, soon after this incident, the two began to live separately, and since then, their marriage has existed in name only, and they are strangers.
To explore the marriage of Chen Xiaoyi and Liu Huining, a couple who deviated from traditional morality, we must go back to 1997. That year, Chen Xiaoyi met Liu Huining, the director of the play, because he starred in the family ethics drama "Old House".
At first, Chen Xiaoyi, who was already emerging at that time, did not have much good impression of this simple young director, in her eyes, Liu Huining was just an unknown newcomer, compared with her hot little flower, it was really a world of difference.
However, with the deepening of cooperation, Liu Huining's extraordinary directing talent and conscientious work spirit began to deeply touch Chen Xiaoyi. She discovered the extraordinary talent and outstanding personality charm hidden in this man.
In this way, the two met on the set and gradually established a deep friendship, which then developed into a heart-to-heart relationship.
Although the surrounding relatives and friends were full of doubts and opposition to this "not the right door" relationship, Chen Xiaoyi and Liu Huining both had firm beliefs and moved forward bravely, and finally entered the palace of marriage hand in hand in 1998.
In the first few years of their marriage, they lived happily ever after. A year later, this warm little family ushered in a new life - the birth of his son Liu Hengfu. In order to devote himself to family life, Chen Xiaoyi resolutely chose to temporarily leave his job in the entertainment industry.
Seeing his wife give up her career for the sake of her family, Liu Huining was deeply moved. After careful consideration, the affectionate husband made a big decision: he decided to leave all the opportunities in his career to his wife Chen Xiaoyi.
In 2005, Liu Huining carefully planned a TV series "Halfway Couple" for his wife Chen Xiaoyi, who returned to the screen. This work not only became a powerful boost for Chen Xiaoyi's career to rise again, but also made Liu Huining famous in the film and television industry.
In the crew, Chen Xiaoyi always maintained a state of concentration and went all out. When she filmed an intimate scene with the actor Sun Honglei, Sun Honglei couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so she privately proposed to Liu Huining: "Can you please avoid it for a while?" After all, this kiss scene is somewhat... You get the idea.
However, to everyone's expectations, Liu Huining waved his hand generously and said, "Continue your performance, don't worry about me being there." If it doesn't work out well this time, we can shoot it a few more times, and I'll be watching from the side anyway.
In this way, he expressed his full trust and support for his wife's work ethic.
As soon as this drama was broadcast, it immediately aroused enthusiastic responses. The audience was full of praise for Chen Xiaoyi's superb acting skills in the play. With this masterpiece, she not only won the industry's authoritative awards, but also climbed to the peak again in her career.
At the same time, the popularity of playwright and director Liu Huining has also been greatly improved.
In an instant, the two were praised by the global public as the best couple in the entertainment industry in the minds of countless people, and they were very affectionate and affectionate. However, to everyone's amazement, just when the couple's married life was at its most fulfilling, an unforeseen sudden change of wind and clouds actually added gloom to their love story.
One quiet night in 2009, all of a sudden, a brutal car accident befell Liu Huining, causing him to fall from his busy and fulfilling life into an endless predicament - he had to start relying on a wheelchair to walk.
However, in this challenging year, Chen Xiaoyi was captured by the paparazzi with an extremely intimate scene - she and the well-known director Xu Ang kissed affectionately in the car, intimate.
In the face of his wife's betrayal, Liu Huining showed amazing tolerance and understanding. He not only defended Chen Xiaoyi, but also claimed that "this was just an unintentional intimate contact, but it was maliciously hyped by the paparazzi".
After being sheltered by her husband, Chen Xiaoyi also found an excuse for her behavior.
However, according to people familiar with the matter, soon after the incident, the former loving couple began to live separately. Since then, their marriage has been a reality of death. What's even more shocking is that during the separation, Chen Xiaoyi was photographed by the paparazzi many times spending a good night with a young man! Obviously, divorce is just a matter of time.
Late at night in 2009, a sudden car accident completely overturned the trajectory of Liu Huining's life. , a director who once dominated the film and television industry, has had to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair for a long time, with limited mobility.
Just when Liu Huining encountered this catastrophe in his life, his wife Chen Xiaoyi was captured by the paparazzi in an extremely intimate scene - she and another well-known director, Xu Ang, kissed and hugged in a private car, completely ignoring any suspicion.
As soon as this derailment scandal was exposed, it immediately aroused widespread attention from all walks of life. As the husband of the party, Liu Huining's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations - instead of accusing his wife's behavior, he stepped forward and defended Chen Xiaoyi: "This is just an unintentional intimate contact, but it was maliciously hyped by the paparazzi."
With her husband's protection, Chen Xiaoyi also found a "legitimate" reason for herself, and temporarily escaped the condemnation of public opinion. However, according to insiders, shortly after the incident, the high-profile couple began to live separately.
Since then, their married life has fallen into an ice age, and they have nothing to say like strangers. The image of a husband and wife who originally seemed to be happy and happy was nothing more than a veil of hypocrisy that covered the cracks in the depths of their hearts.
What's even more shocking is that during the separation, Chen Xiaoyi was captured by the paparazzi many times to spend a good day with various young and handsome male stars.
In the face of his wife's infidelity such a blatant indulgence, Liu Huining still chose to tolerate and forgive.
However, to unravel this mystery, we have to go back to the moment when they met. At the beginning, Chen Xiaoyi was already a famous first-line star, while Liu Huining was an unknown young talent.
Their encounter was entirely thanks to the ingenious arrangement of their mutual friend, Zhang Jiayi, a bright star in the film and television industry.
It was Zhang Jiayi who recommended the script "Old House" to Chen Xiaoyi, which gave the fashionable and little-known Liu Huining a rare opportunity to cooperate with big-name actresses. So, Liu Huining was fortunate to meet the goddess in his heart - the kind, beautiful, and talented Chen Xiaoyi.
Although Chen Xiaoyi betrayed again and again, and was repeatedly exposed by the media to intimate photos with various young male stars, Liu Huining's deep affection for her has never wavered.
In his eyes, his wife is undoubtedly the most precious treasure in his life, and he is willing to use the strength of the rest of his life to protect this hard-won marriage.
The origin of all this can be traced back to the time when they first met. At that time, Chen Xiaoyi was already a leader in the entertainment industry, and when he was only in his twenties, he was nominated for the "Feitian Award" and the "Hundred Flowers Award" with his superb acting skills, which can be described as both fame and strength.
In contrast, Liu Huining is just a rookie director who has not yet made a name for himself in the film and television industry. was able to marry such an outstanding woman, all thanks to the matchmaking of their mutual friend, Zhang Jiayi, a bright star in the film and television industry.
It was Zhang Jiayi who recommended the script "Old House" to Chen Xiaoyi, providing them with an opportunity to get to know each other. Since then, Liu Huining has been deeply moved by Chen Xiaoyi's beauty, talent and kindness, and has fallen for it.
In his opinion, having such an excellent partner is undoubtedly the greatest blessing in life.
After marriage, Chen Xiaoyi took the initiative to give up her thriving career with her noble quality, devoted herself to the family, and became the great mother who carefully taught her children to her husband Liu Huining with the maternal care of the neighbor.
Looking at the wife who gave everything for the family, Liu Huining deeply felt that this intoxicated wife had an incomparably deep love and respect for him.
In order to repay this endless deep friendship, Liu Huining firmly decided to leave every important opportunity in his career to his wife Chen Xiaoyi without reservation.
Sure enough, in 2005, Liu Huining carefully planned a TV series "Halfway Couple" for his wife who returned to the screen, and once this work came out, Chen Xiaoyi once again became the focus of attention of the national audience.
It is undeniable that if it were not for his wife's deep love and selfless dedication, Liu Huining's brilliant achievements today would be difficult to achieve. Because of this, even though Chen Xiaoyi has been caught in the turmoil of extramarital love many times, Liu Huining still holds on to a glimmer of hope, looking forward to the day when his wife will wake up and return to the family.
In his eyes, his wife is the most precious treasure in his life, and he will spend the rest of his life cherishing this beautiful marriage.
Although the two have been separated for many years and their relationship is as estranged as strangers, Liu Huining has never taken the initiative to file for divorce. However, Chen Xiaoyi's marriage to Liu Huining has actually existed in name only for many years.
Until 2022, Chen Xiaoyi and her rumored boyfriend Xu Ang will perform together again at the Capital Theater, allowing the world to witness the "joys and sorrows" of the former lovers.
This drama is Xu Ang's outstanding masterpiece "Lotus", and it is also their love work back then. After 14 years, Chen Xiaoyi has teamed up with this old lover again, and some distant and warm memories will inevitably come to mind in the depths of his heart.
However, for her, who has been on the road to marriage for a long time, those past events may only evoke some warm nostalgia, and can no longer stir up any waves.
Although their marriage has long been shattered, there is one person who is destined to lock their relationship on the brink forever - that is their only son Liu Hengfu.
In March 2023, when Chen Xiaoyi and her son Liu Hengfu were playing backstage, her husband Liu Huining, who was in a wheelchair, always looked gloomy and expressionless.
Watching the intimate interaction between his wife and children, it is difficult to guess what complex emotional entanglements this poor husband is going through in his heart.
Perhaps because of this, Chen Xiaoyi was willing to endure the pain caused by this marriage that existed in name only, and chose to grit his teeth and persevere. The truth behind this is that she deeply understands that if she chooses to divorce, then her only son Hengfu will definitely suffer unspeakable damage in his heart!
On the other hand, the reason why Liu Huining was able to endure his wife's never-ending extramarital affair was only out of the hope of maintaining the only remaining glimmer of hope for this small family that was about to be shattered.
Maybe in his heart, he still has a glimmer of hope, looking forward to the day when his wife can wake up and regain the good time she once had.
So, despite the fact that the once-loving couple had been separated for many years and were as distant as strangers, they had to continue to struggle to survive in this "cold war" marriage for the sake of their common son.
After all, the blood connection is better than the short-term love, which may be the most fundamental reason why they are still together!
