The cold winter ushered in the birth of Zhang Boyu, however, this was supposed to be a moment of ecstasy for the whole family, but it became heavy because of his father Zhang Fengyi's casual evaluation.
"This child's appearance is really ugly, not like me at all", this sentence deeply stung Lu Liping, a mother who had just experienced childbirth, and also became an indelible psychological shadow on Zhang Boyu's growth path.
Mr. Zhang Fengyi and Ms. Lu Liping first met in 1987, when they met during the filming of the movie "Wildfire". At that time, Ms. Lu Liping was already a supporting actress who had won the Hundred Flowers Award and the Golden Rooster Award, while Mr. Zhang Fengyi's representative work was only "Camel Xiangzi".
Their union was more based on practical considerations: Ms. Lu Liping was attracted by Mr. Zhang Fengyi's handsome appearance, while Mr. Zhang Fengyi thought that Ms. Lu Liping was a virtuous and good woman, and they soon had a simple wedding when they were both in their prime of life.
However, married life is not a beautiful fairy tale. In order to take care of the family, Lu Liping chose to leave the film industry and devote herself to the role of taking care of her husband and son.
She recalled in the interview: "At that time, I was alone with the children, and I didn't have time to dress up at all, and I didn't even wash my face much. But this kind of effort was not understood and appreciated by Zhang Fengyi, but in exchange for his accusation: "Please dress yourself up a little, don't be so sloppy."
This state of life makes the marriage, which already lacks a deep emotional foundation, quickly collapse. In 1991, when Zhang Boyu had just turned two years old, Zhang Fengyi filed for divorce. This hastily concluded and rapidly broken marriage brought great harm to the young Zhang Boyu.
As he grew older, Zhang Boyu gradually realized that he was different from other children. Whenever I see my peers being picked up and dropped off by my parents, and I only have my mother waiting at the school gate, the loneliness in my heart becomes heavier and heavier.
This lack of fatherly love in his childhood has become an indelible pain in Zhang Boyu's heart, and it has also laid countless unpredictable foreshadowings for his future life trajectory.
Zhang Boyu's growth path is full of contradictions and struggles. While he endured the indifference and denial of his biological father Zhang Fengyi, he received the warmth and support of his stepfather Sun Haiying.
This strong contrast has deeply influenced the trajectory of his life.
In the second year after his ex-wife Lu Liping's divorce, Zhang Fengyi ushered in a new stage of life. In 1993, during the filming of "Farewell My Concubine", he met Huo Fan, a dance teacher who was 12 years younger than him, who was only 25 years old at the time and was an avid fan of Zhang Fengyi.
Although Zhang Fengyi was not moved at first, Huo Fan's enthusiasm finally won his heartAfter half a year of getting along, Zhang Fengyi proposed the idea of marriage to Huo Fan, which opened the prelude to their married life.
During this period, Lu Liping was busy filming to make money, and at the same time raised Zhang Boyu alone. It wasn't until 1996 that she met football coach Tao Wei when she took her son to play on the football field.
At the beginning, Lu Liping was cautious about remarrying, but seeing that her son and Tao Wei got along well, she finally decided to give herself and her children a complete home, however, this marriage only lasted for two years and ended in divorce.
After experiencing the failure of her second marriage, Lu Liping ushered in a fortunate event in her life. During the filming of the TV series "The Years of Burning Passion", she met actor Sun Hae-young, who was four years older than her.
Sun Haiying was attracted by her cheerfulness and generosity, and after a period of contact and pursuit, the two finally came together.
Sun Haiying's appearance not only brought happiness to Lu Liping, but also brought warmth to Zhang Boyu's life. He once promised, "I will treat Boyu like a son", and he did what he said.
He not only cares about Zhang Boyu in life, but also gives him spiritual support and encouragement.
However, in contrast, Zhang Fengyi has always taken a cold attitude towards his son. "It's time for you to lose weight, don't eat so much." "Why do you look so ugly, you must not be an actor in the future."
These harsh words constantly hit Zhang Boyu's self-confidence, and when Zhang Boyu graduated from junior high school, when he expressed his desire to learn acting, Zhang Fengyi was even more furious: "Do you think you can be an actor like this?" ”
However, these denials did not discourage Zhang Boyu, but instead inspired him to prove himself. With the support of his mother and stepfather, Zhang Boyu resolutely decided to give up his ordinary high school studies and enter the performing arts school founded by Lu Liping.
Although he lost the love of his biological father, his stepfather Sun Haiying was like his warm lamp, illuminating his life journey, not only making up for this vacancy, but also giving him more courage to chase his dreams.
The contradiction of this family relationship has become an important factor in shaping Zhang Boyu's character and outlook on life.
In the face of his father Zhang Fengyi's doubts and denials, Zhang Boyu did not give up his dream of being an actor, but these setbacks inspired him to prove his determination. With the support of his biological mother Lu Liping and stepfather Sun Haiying, Zhang Boyu firmly decided to give up his regular high school studies and enter the performing arts school founded by Lu Liping instead.
During his time at the school, Zhang Boyu showed extraordinary perseverance and enthusiasm. He studied every skill taught by his teacher and trained tirelessly, hoping to break through his father's prejudice against him.
His efforts soon paid off, and in the year of graduation, he was chosen to be the protagonist of "One Servant and Two Masters" rehearsed at the school.
Zhang Boyu, who was full of expectations, called Zhang Fengyi and invited his father to come and see his performance, but his father did not show up.
The blow did not break Zhang Boyu. With the encouragement of his stepfather Sun Haiying, Zhang Boyu took "Boyu, Uncle Sun believes in you, you are the best!" This sentence was performed on stage. This support from his stepfather became an important motivation for him to persist in his dream.
Zhang Boyu was successfully admitted to the Central Academy of Drama through his own efforts, which was an important milestone in his acting career. During his time at the school, he worked his acting skills and laid a solid foundation for his future career.
At the age of 22, Zhang Boyu finally ushered in an important opportunity in his life. With the encouragement and recommendation of his mother, he starred in his first film and television work, an event that marked the official launch of his acting career.
This is undoubtedly the most powerful response to Zhang Fengyi's questioning voice over the years, Zhang Boyu's outstanding performance in acting has dazzled the audience, and more people have recognized the strong strength of this young actor.
It is worth mentioning that although Zhang Boyu is the son of Zhang Fengyi and Lu Liping, many viewers do not know his family background. In the entertainment industry, Zhang Boyu's achievements were established by his own efforts, and he did not rely on the reputation of his parents.
This spirit of independence is also reflected in Zhang Boyu's persistent pursuit of self-worth.
With the development of his acting career, Zhang Boyu began to have the opportunity to cooperate with his mother Lu Liping in many works, playing the role of mother and son. This tacit understanding on and off screen adds a sense of realism to their performances.
Zhang Boyu's growth process is not only the transformation of an actor, but also a story of constantly proving himself in the face of adversity. Despite the support and approval of his father, he still achieved remarkable achievements in the field of his passion.
This experience not only shaped his career, but also profoundly influenced his attitude towards life, making him more resilient and confident.
25-year-old Zhang Boyu met actor Zhang Moxi, who also graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, during the filming of the TV series "Let Life Be Sunshine". The two gradually fell in love with each other day and night, and this relationship was natural and sincere, so they decided to enter the palace of marriage hand in hand.
However, in the process of preparing for the wedding, Zhang Boyu always had an irreparable regret in his heart. Although his relationship with his father Zhang Fengyi has not been good, at this important moment in his life, he still hopes to get his father's blessing.
With this expectation, he called Zhang Fengyi many times and sincerely invited him to attend the wedding, hoping that he could witness this important moment with his own eyes.
However, Zhang Fengyi's response broke Zhang Boyu's heart. He once told his son that the wedding can only be held at one table, which is the bottom line, and even said that the weddings he attended were divorced in the end. These heartless words made Zhang Boyu realize that even at an important turning point in his life, his father was still unable to give him the care and support he needed most.
However, at Zhang Boyu's wedding in 2014, his stepfather Sun Haiying stood on the stage to preside over the wedding, not his biological father Zhang Fengyi. This scene is full of warmth and deep regret, which is also a reflection of the complexity of Zhang Boyu's family relationship.
At the wedding, Zhang Boyu expressed his deep gratitude to his stepfather, Sun Haiying, for taking care of him as his own over the years. This act is not only a thank you for her stepfather's dedication, but also seems to be a silent accusation of his biological father's absence from him.
After the wedding, Zhang Fengyi's absence sparked heated discussions in public opinion. In a subsequent interview, Zhang Fengyi explained his absence, saying that he was absent because Zhang Boyu was too high-profile, and jokingly said that the weddings he attended were later divorced.
However, for such an explanation, many people believe that it cannot make up for the pain caused by the lack of father's love to Zhang Boyu, and such an excuse seems to be pale and weak.
This wedding was supposed to be one of the happiest moments in Zhang Boyu's life, but it was overshadowed by his father's absence. This not only marks the beginning of a new life for Zhang Boyu, but also becomes another painful symbol of his estranged relationship with his father, highlighting the ongoing impact of childhood shadows on his life.
Despite his career and family success, the shadow of his childhood seems to continue to affect his life, and this influence is especially evident in his recent social media updates, which have aroused widespread public concern and concern.
In some recently released videos, Mr. Zhang is in a worrying state. Messy hairstyle, empty eyes, and sad lines in his mouth, these details made many netizens who cared about him feel uneasy.
Below the related video, someone left a message: "That once humorous 'Wang Fatman', please come back quickly!" This sentence not only expresses the concern of fans, but also reflects the contrast between Zhang Boyu's recent state and the past.
Regarding Zhang Boyu's emotional performance, netizens have speculated about the reason. may be because Zhang Boyu lives abroad with his mother Lu Liping and stepfather Sun Haiying, while he and his wife stay in China, and this separation makes him feel lonely; It may also be related to the unhappiness between him and his biological father Zhang Fengyi.
Zhang Boyu once posted on social media, recalling that he had been looking forward to his father's love in his childhood, but he had been hurt by Zhang Fengyi's "indifference and ruthlessness" again and again, and he seemed to have a wound in his heart that could not be healed.
This dynamic is like a cry of pain in his heart, revealing the continuing impact of the early absence of fatherly love on him.
The catharsis of this emotion makes people wonder: can the trauma of childhood really be completely healed in the case of a successful career and family in adulthood? Zhang Boyu's experience seems to tell us that childhood misfortunes do need to be healed in a lifetime.
His story also provokes a deep reflection on family education, which can have an irreversible impact on a child's life if he is overly spoiled or overly harsh.
As time passed, the 66-year-old Zhang Fengyi began to show concern for his son Zhang Boyu in public, and this change in attitude sparked widespread discussion and questioning among the public.
In some recent programs, Zhang Fengyi not only learned to praise his son, but also publicly expressed his hope that Zhang Boyu would go home more often.
Zhang Fengyi's attitude changed, did he sincerely repent or did he have other plans? The answer to this question may only be answered by Zhang Fengyi himself. But in any case, the facts show that the worry of "no one to support" made Zhang Fengyi re-examine his life choices and embark on the path of self-reflection.
This shift has also triggered a deep public reflection on parent-child relationships and family responsibilities.
