On February 16, the China Rosewood Museum opened to the public across the country, and on the same day, the museum director Chen Lihua also held a solo exhibition, accompanied by her husband and Chi Chongrui, president of the Council of the Rosewood Museum.
Hand in hand for 30 years, the old couple looks energetic and happy.
Remember that in 1990, Chi Chongrui, the actor of Tang Monk, and Chen Lihua, a billionaire woman, announced their marriage, which shocked the entertainment industry.
Speaking of the name Chi Chongrui, some people may feel strange, and his most famous role is the Tang monk in "Journey to the West".
The 86th edition of "Journey to the West" has been broadcast since its inception, and 3 Tang monks have been successively replaced.
The first Tang monk to enter the group was Wang Yue, when director Yang Jie took a look at Wang Yue, who was handsome and had his own Buddha's temperament, and invited him to star.
However, Wang Yue only wanted to devote himself to the movie, afraid that Tang Monk would restrict future performances, and only participated in just 3 episodes and then stopped acting.
Just started filming the protagonist to pick a pick, which can upset Yang Jie.
It just so happened that Xu Shaohua rushed to interview Xiao Bailong, and was unexpectedly recommended to audition for Tang Monk, and the result was successfully fixed.
However, after starring in 6 episodes, Because he still had to go to school, Xu Shaohua was forced to leave the crew.
Losing the protagonist again, the whole crew was anxious, Chi Chongrui passed in front of Yang Jie at this time, Yang Jie immediately noticed this man full of bookish anger, so the third Tang monk was born.
The Tang monk played by Chi Chongrui did not have an accident, persisted to the end, and became the Tang monk who was most impressed by everyone.
Chi Chongrui's popularity, although it was an accident, is also a trace to follow.
Chi Chongrui was born in a famous Peking Opera family, and the ancestors of the last 5 generations are continuing the road of Peking Opera, only Chi Chongrui is an exception.
Don't look at him from childhood to be influenced by Peking Opera, but what he is really interested in is the profession of actor.
In order to realize his dream, Chi Chongrui applied for the drama and was successfully admitted.
Although he wanted to be an actor, Chi Chongrui's actor's road did not go smoothly, and he did not appear in his first work "Cardamom Blossom" until he was 29 years old.
After this, Chi Chongrui also filmed a number of film and television works in succession, but he was always half-warm.
Just when Chi Chongrui was desperately working hard for his dream, the encounter with Yang Jie changed his life.
In 1986, after the broadcast of "Journey to the West", the response was unprecedented, and the actors in the play were brilliant, and the most popular was of course several leading actors.
As the absolute protagonist, Tang Monk was played by Chi Chongrui, and the high monk temperament of personable and compassionate was vividly interpreted by him.
It's just that everyone didn't expect that after the dream was hard to achieve and became popular, Chi Chongrui suddenly faded out of the entertainment circle.
It was all because he met a woman, a woman 11 years older than him, Chen Lihua.
Chen Lihua is a well-known rich woman, all her assets are all laid down by herself, and she is an absolute career-oriented strong woman.
Born into a poor family, Chen Lihua dropped out of school early to work and earned money to support her family.
It was the pressure in her life that drove her to keep working hard and desperately looking for opportunities to get ahead.
Kung Fu pays off, looking for opportunities again and again, from the bottom of the textile women, to the furniture industry boss lady, Chen Lihua finally earned the first bucket of gold.
Subsequently, she continued to expand her career and founded Fuhua Group steadily.
In 2010, Chen Lihua was on the Hurun list and became the richest woman in China with a net worth of 50.5 billion.
In life, Chen Lihua is not only good at business, but also likes Peking Opera and often goes to the theater to watch plays.
After the hit "Journey to the West", Chen Lihua liked this TV series very much, and also liked the character of Tang Monk.
She did not expect that in her favorite theater, she saw Chi Chongrui, the tang monk who was performing on stage.
The overlap of interested people and interested industries makes Chen Lihua very happy.
She tried to find a way to get acquainted with Chi Chongrui through someone's introduction, and the first time the two chatted, they had a feeling of acquaintance and hate.
With the in-depth contact, the relationship between the two became closer and closer, but at that time, Chi Chongrui faced this relationship and felt a lot of pressure.
Because of the large age difference and career gap, Chi Chongrui and Chen Lihua's relationship was quickly labeled as a "rich woman", which is difficult for any man to accept.
Also hesitant is Chen Lihua, who experienced a failed marriage before meeting Chi Chongrui.
Starting a family again is not only a matter for Chen Lihua and Chi Chongrui, but also her children who need to be considered.
Chen Lihua went to her children and asked them what their opinions were on finding another man to accompany them for the rest of their lives.
The children all understood the mother's hardships alone for many years, and replied sensibly: This is the mother's own business, and we will not interfere.
With the support of her children, Chen Lihua no longer hesitated, bravely stepped into that step, and became a legal husband and wife with Chi Chongrui.
In 1990, the two held a low-key wedding, and after their honeymoon, they called all their relatives and friends to their home for a small gathering.
During the banquet, Chen Lihua's friend accidentally found a letter and read out the content in front of everyone, which was actually a love letter written by Chen Lihua to her lover Chi Chongrui.
Others listened with relish, but Chi Chongrui fell into doubt, he had not received Chen Lihua's love letter.
Just as he was about to explain, Chen Lihua took his hand and quietly suggested that he not make a sound.
It turned out that this was Chen Lihua's deliberate "forged" love letter, just to prove to everyone that it was not Chi Chongrui who took the initiative to lean on himself, but Chi Chongrui who he was chasing.
Chi Zhongrui, who understood Chen Lihua's thoughts, was very touched, and he decided that he would take good care of Chen Lihua in the second half of his life and live up to her sincerity.
After marriage, Chen Lihua and Chi Chongrui also have a unique way of getting along.
They never joked, the two were always in a state of respect, Chi Chongrui called Chen Lihua "chairman", Chen Lihua called Chi Chongrui "Mr. Chi".
Some people may think that this is a kind of strangeness, but Chen Lihua and Chi Chongrui call each other so because of mutual respect.
In order to better take care of Chen Lihua's children, Chi Chongrui respected Chen Lihua's opinions and did not conceive his own children, but regarded Chen Lihua's children as his own.
Even so, since Chi Chongrui and Chen Lihua got married, the news about him being "raised" and "rich wife" has not stopped.
Until a few years ago, Chen Lihua made a public will to leave 30 billion yuan of inheritance to Chi Ruihua, which was rejected by Chi Ruihua.
He made it clear that he had no intentions and no one believed him, so he blocked the mouths of the yo-yo people with his actions.
Today, Chi Chongrui is 68 years old, Chen Lihua is about to turn 80, and the two have spent 30 years together.
For two people who love each other, 30 years is fleeting, and there is time to explain the reasons for being together, it is better to seize the time to enjoy the happy time together.
30 years ago, they resolutely chose to spend the rest of their lives together despite the controversy;
After 30 years, they impressed everyone with their time.
Chi Chongrui did what he said at the beginning: we don't need to confess, time will tell everything.
