Chen Songling's bumpy childhood and acting starting point - from a rich girl to a rising star in the art world
In 1971, Chen Songling was born into a wealthy businessman family, and the whole family loved her and regarded her as the pearl of their palms. However, this happiness was lost when she was 3 years old.
Because of the failure of the business, the entire family property of the father and mother was destroyed, and he could not bear the pressure of life, so he had to send his daughter to someone else's house to raise.
Although her life has changed dramatically, young Chen Songling has no idea about it, and her favorite thing is to imitate singers singing and dancing in front of the TV, which seems to have become a way for her to escape from reality.
The mother was aware of her daughter's talent in music and had the idea of introducing her daughter to the entertainment industry.
However, the young Chen Songling is not interested in the entertainment industry, she is more eager to become a teacher and teach and educate people. However, this desire was clearly not approved by the parents.
Chen Songling's mother even punched and kicked her in order to get her daughter to accept her arrangement. In the face of her mother's violence, Chen Songling tried to resist and even called the police, but in exchange for a more severe punishment.
In the end, she could only follow the wishes of her parents and chose the path of acting.
This experience has deeply hurt Chen Songling, causing her relationship with her mother to become more and more estranged, and the two sides have fallen into a long-term cold war.
In 1985, Chen Songling, who was only 14 years old, participated in a singing competition held by TVB. Her outstanding performances made her come out on top and win the championship. This competition also became an important turning point in her life and opened the door to showbiz for her.
Two years later, her performance in the TV series "Ghost Horse Campus" successfully attracted the attention of many audiences, and since then she has stepped into the entertainment industry.
In 1989, Chen Songling became famous with "The Singer of the World" and became one of the most popular new stars at that time. At that time, her career was thriving, and she acted in popular plays such as "New Shanghai Beach" in a row, and also had in-depth cooperation with superstars such as Andy Lau and Liming.
At that time, she seemed to be the brightest star in the sky, full of light, and the four heavenly kings were willing to bend their waists for her. Taking advantage of this opportunity, she successfully held a concert and her career reached an unprecedented peak.
However, Chen Songling did not know that behind her short-lived glory, there was a greater storm hidden. Her life is about to face even greater challenges and turns. She is like a meteor crossing the night sky, although the light is dazzling, it is fleeting.
The culprit turned out to be her most trusted agent.
Chen Songling, who was forced to enter the entertainment industry in childhood, has achieved remarkable results in this circle with her own efforts and talents. However, it seems that fate always pushes her into the abyss when she is about to touch happiness.
Her story has just begun.
From superstar to downfall: Chen Songling's life is at a low point
Chen Songling originally had a bright starlight, but she struggled in the trough of her life. Here are some of the characteristics of her life trough.
First of all, her acting career suffered a heavy blow. She used to be the pride of the Hong Kong TV industry, and won super popularity and honors with many film and television works. But in 2005, she suffered from severe depression and had to suspend her acting career and undergo treatment.
During this period, Chen Songling's acting career was also seriously affected, and her popularity and popularity gradually declined.
Secondly, her family life has also suffered from difficulties. Chen Songling's parents divorced when she was very young, and she has always been dependent on her mother. However, in 2006, her mother died of illness, which hit her hard.
She had said in an interview that her mother's death had left her feeling very lonely and helpless.
In addition, her love life is also in the spotlight. Chen Songling once had a relationship with Jacky Cheung's younger brother Zhang Xuezhi, but it ended in a breakup. After that, she fell in love with mainland actor Zhang Duo and entered the palace of marriage in 2011.
However, this marriage did not bring her happiness, but instead put her in a deeper predicament.
In general, the trough of Chen Songling's life is the result of a combination of factors. Her acting career, family life, and love life have all taken a serious hit, leaving her in deep trouble.
However, she did not give up, but bravely faced the adversity and actively sought solutions, and her tenacity and courage gave us a glimpse of what a true star looks like.
Fate once again played a cruel joke on Chen Songling. Her most trusted agent, Po, turned out to be the culprit of her career decline.
Chen Songling and Ah Bao first met at the home of their adoptive parents, when they grew up together and were affectionately like sisters. Based on this deep trust, Chen Songling's first entrustment to Ah Bao was to let her be her agent, and later, she handed over her business and property to Ah Bao to manage.
However, Bao's development path in the entertainment industry does not seem to be as Chen Songling expected. In order to pursue more fame and fortune, Ah Bao began to ignore Chen Songling's wishes and forcibly chose the path he thought was suitable.
After Chen Songling raised objections, Ah Bao's behavior became worse and worse. In 2015, a rumor that Chen Songling likes women spread quickly inside and outside the circle, causing a huge commotion.
Chen Songling's career snowballed and fell to the bottom in an instant, all because Po spread discrediting news. The rumors are getting bigger and bigger, and they can't stop snowballing.
To make matters worse for Chen Songling, Po not only spread rumors, but also swept away all her property and walked away. Overnight, Chen Songling went from a high-profile star to the object of everyone's spit.
She lost all her possessions and even lived on the streets for a time, living a poor and hard life.
In Chen Songling's most difficult period, her mother, who abandoned her back then, suddenly found her conscience, took the initiative to reconcile with her and accepted her back to live at home. However, fate does not seem to want to let her go, and never gives her a chance to breathe.
Not long after she returned home, her father died. After suffering the loss of a loved one, another blow struck.
The hospital's diagnosis showed that Chen Songling had an ovarian tumor and had to undergo an ovarian removal. This news hit Chen Songling hard like a thunderbolt from the blue.
She has always longed to be a mother.
The success of the operation meant that she lost her fertility.
After suffering a heavy blow, Chen Songling fell into a deep depression. She used to be the goddess in everyone's hearts, but now she can only face the trauma alone and has lost her direction. She begins to doubt her worth and cannot predict her future.
During these dark days, Chen Songling often sat alone in the corner, her eyes empty, as if she had lost all hope. The smile that once sparkled was gone, replaced by a deep exhaustion and despair.
Whenever late at night, she would always recall her glorious achievements and cry sadly.
However, surprisingly, fate does not seem to intend to let Chen Songling go, after the 90s, Hong Kong's film and television market began to decline, in order to seek a better way out, many Hong Kong stars chose to come to the mainland to develop.
In 2006, Chen Songling was depressed and decided to go to the mainland to find new opportunities.
Little did she know that this decision would not only brighten her career, but also lead her to meet the most important people in her life. At the lowest point in her life, a ray of hope pierced the sky and illuminated the road ahead for her.
Love Healing: I met Zhang Duo, who was 8 years younger than me
In 2006, Chan came to the Mainland to seek new development opportunities. The gears of fate turned again, and she met Zhang Duo, who was 8 years younger than herself, on the set of the TV series "Blood is Not Cold".
The young man took care of her like a big brother and expressed his affection with great affection.
However, because of too much trauma, Chen Songling is afraid to start a new relationship easily, and she is worried that the secret of her inability to have children will become an obstacle to the relationship between the two.
Every time Zhang Duo approached, she would unconsciously take a step back, her eyes full of hesitation and fear.
Zhang Duo is not a person who gives up easily, in the face of Chen Songling's retreat, he chooses to express his sincerity with practical actions. He is always there when she needs help.
Gradually, Chen Songling's nervous mood gradually eased, and a relaxed smile appeared on her face.
In the end, Zhang Duo's insistence made Chen Songling pluck up the courage to confess the fact that she was unable to have children. At that moment, she lowered her head and her voice trembled, afraid to see Zhang Duo's disappointed eyes.
However, Zhang Duo's reaction exceeded her expectations.
He smiled and said, "Really? It just so happens that I don't like children very much, but if it's because of this, you can accept me. This sentence was like a warm current, instantly melting the ice in Chen Songling's heart.
She looked up in astonishment, only to see Zhang Duo's firm and gentle gaze fall on her.
Chen Songling was finally moved by Zhang Duo's sincerity and persistence. Under his careful care, Chen Songling gradually got rid of the haze in life and regained confidence. Zhang Duo not only healed Chen Songling's wounded heart, but also helped ease the conflict between her and her mother.
When she was about to get married, Chen Songling didn't plan to tell her mother, but Zhang Duo hoped to get the blessing of her mother-in-law. With his encouragement and persistence, Chen Songling eventually reconnected with her mother.
The estrangement between mother and daughter was gradually eased under the mediation of Zhang Duo after years of hard work.
In 2011, Zhang Duo and Chen Songling finally entered the palace of marriage hand in hand, and the life after marriage was as beautiful as a fairy tale.
However, this happy scene was not perfect, and Zhang Duo's mother's desire for her grandson became stronger and stronger, constantly urging the couple to have a child. Every time she faced her mother-in-law's urging, Chen Songling would feel full of guilt.
She feared that this happiness would be ruined by the revelation of the truth.
In the face of his wife's worries, Zhang Duo always stood firmly by her side, proving with practical actions that his love for his wife would not change because he failed to have children. With his encouragement and support, Chen Songling gradually found her true self and chose to love life again.
Her eyes lit up again, and the smile on her face grew more and more.
Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law contradiction: a test of happiness
Zhang's mother's desire for her grandson grew stronger and stronger, and she constantly put pressure on her son Zhang Duo, hoping that he could persuade his wife to have a child of her own.
There are often such conversations in the family, and every time Zhang Duo refuses, insisting on his own Dink idea, but the contradictions between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are also quietly growing.
Unable to do anything, Zhang's mother decided to talk to Chen Songling directly, hoping that she could persuade her son. Faced with her mother-in-law's expectations, Chen Songling was full of guilt, but she didn't know how to speak.
As long as she does, she will bow her head, and her eyes will show uneasiness and worry.
In 2018, Chen Songling mustered up the courage to take the initiative to confess to her mother-in-law the fact that she was unable to have children. She thought that when the truth was revealed, everything would be fine.
However, things happened far more than she expected.
The mother-in-law, who learned the truth, changed her attitude 180 degrees. From the original kind mother-in-law to Chen Songling, for example, she knew that her daughter-in-law could not eat garlic, but deliberately added a large amount of minced garlic to stir-fry.
This made Songling very embarrassed and annoyed.
She also expressed her dissatisfaction with her daughter-in-law from time to time, complaining: "Everyone else can enjoy family fun, but I can't." These words were like sharp blades, deeply piercing Chen Songling's heart.
When Chen Songling and her husband were preparing to do exercise, they wore a large towel due to sweating. However, when the mother-in-law saw this, she immediately snatched the towel and handed it to her son. This obvious difference in treatment made Chen Songling feel very aggrieved.
With tears in her eyes, she stood aside, but said nothing.
In the face of the deterioration of the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Zhang Duo has always stood firmly on his wife's side. Every time his mother exerted influence on Chen Songling, he would take the initiative to resolve the conflict or block the injury for his wife.
Chen Songling saw her husband defending herself so resolutely, and her heart was both moved and guilty. The husband not only forbade his mother to treat him like this, but also took on the responsibility of the family alone.
Although Chen Songling's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship is not smooth, her husband, who loves her deeply, has always given her understanding and support, so that she can still feel happiness and warmth.
After this tempering, Chen Songling deeply realized that true happiness is not based on childbirth, but depends on mutual understanding and tolerance.
Every time Zhang Duo gently held her hand, she could feel the peace and strength in her heart.
This experience made Chen Songling deeply realize that there will inevitably be various difficulties and challenges in married life, but as long as two people trust each other and support each other, they can overcome difficulties together and meet a better future.
The 51-year-old still loves life
Chen Songling is 51 years old, and she has been married to Zhang Duo for 11 years. Time has left its mark on her face, but she still retains her love of life.
In October this year, she also shared a video of her exercise and fitness on social platforms, showing a positive attitude towards life.
Looking back, those past misfortunes don't seem to have left too many shadows on her. Although there are still some problems in the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, with the support of her husband, Chen Songling has learned to face it calmly.
No matter when and where she encounters difficulties, she can always find strength and encouragement in Zhang Duo's eyes.
Zhang Duo's consistent love is like a protective umbrella, shielding Chen Songling from the ups and downs of life. This sincere love also allowed Chen Songling to find a new direction in life.
Her eyes were brighter than ever, and her smile was brighter than ever.
Although there are still some small twists and turns in life, Chen Songling always firmly believes that as long as she is accompanied by Zhang Duo, she can always be happy. Chen Songling's life experience tells us that true happiness does not come from external judgment, but from inner satisfaction and the feeling of being loved.
Chen Songling's experience profoundly interprets the strength of a woman's strength and sincere love to get back up in the trough of life, she uses her life to show what is true happiness, even if she goes through ups and downs, she can still love life and cherish the people in front of her.
