Zhang Yimou is known for his unique film and television talents, and although he was born in the countryside, he has a deep artistic accomplishment.
He not only created several large-scale opening ceremonies, but also photographed countless classic works, which won unanimous praise from people.
Zhang Yimou, a successful person, has experienced two marriages.
After divorcing Xiao Hua, he married Chen Ting and had two boys and a girl.
The family and the outside world are skeptical about the relationship between Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting because of the 31-year age difference between them.
With her sincerity, Chen Ting won the approval of her mother-in-law and stepdaughter.
In 1981, Chen Ting was born in an ordinary family in Wuxi, Jiangsu.
Her parents are ordinary workers, and they have no special expectations for their daughter, they just want her to grow up healthy and happy.
Although no one in her family is interested in art, Chen Ting loves to dance. Because the parents saw their daughter's interest, they were willing to set aside some of the money for her to learn dance.
After graduating from junior high school, Chen Ting chose to give up continuing her studies and joined the song and dance troupe as a dancer instead, and began to support herself with her own labor.
However, after two years of work, Chen Ting is not satisfied with the achievements in front of her and is eager to stand on a higher stage, and her parents also support their daughter to continue to pursue her dreams.
She planned to become an actress, so she decided to apply for the acting major of Beijing Film Academy.
Although Chen Ting did not have a high school education, so she could not take the college entrance examination like regular students, but she could choose to study in a higher vocational class.
After months of unremitting efforts, Chen Ting was finally admitted to her favorite university.
With a dream, she traveled all the way north, a seven- or eight-hour journey from Jiangsu to Beijing, but the road ahead was full of unknowns.
During her freshman year, Chen Ting honestly worked hard to improve her abilities.
In the first half of 2000, Chen Ting entered her sophomore year and saw that her classmates began to participate in filmmaking, and she herself had the urge to participate.
Zhang Yimou happened to be preparing to recruit actors for the movie "Happy Times", and Chen Ting accidentally learned the news and decided to give it a try, even if it was just to gain experience.
Zhang Yimou is extremely strict with actors, and she stipulates that she cannot wear makeup during interviews. Even so, a certain actor obediently took a two-hour bus ride to the set.
The crowd was crowded, most of them were actors who came for interviews, and some of them wore light makeup, but Chen Ting did not attract attention.
Zhang Yimou noticed her, her face was full of youth, and she could see at a glance that she was a girl with a simple and kind personality.
Zhang Yimou paid special attention to Chen Ting during the interview.
It's a pity that Chen Ting's acting skills are not good enough, Zhang Yimou didn't choose her, but he remembered this girl.
Zhang Yimou wanted to meet Chen Ting because during the filming of this movie, he recalled the girl in his heart.
Although Chen Ting was not selected, Zhang Yimou found an excuse to contact her, citing other work in the crew.
Chen Ting took the initiative to contact director Zhang Yimou with an attitude of learning and appreciation.
After Zhang Yimou got along for a short time, he found that she was full of gentleness and cuteness, especially the way she laughed was heartwarming.
After Zhang Yimou returned home, he never forgot Chen Ting and was willing to fall in love with her.
Zhang Yimou is 50 years old, and he has no extra time to pursue carefully, so he cuts straight to the point.
That day, he asked Chen Ting out, and as soon as they met, he did not hesitate to confess to her, hoping to become her boyfriend.
Faced with everything suddenly, Chen Ting was at a loss and agreed to Zhang Yimou on impulse.
Due to Zhang Yimou's identity, they could only choose to maintain an underground relationship, and Chen Ting also agreed.
Being with Zhang Yimou is like a bet, and the future direction is unpredictable.
After Chen Ting and Zhang Yimou were together, they lived a very low-key life, she studied hard in school on weekdays, while Zhang Yimou was busy with the work of the crew.
They secretly get together during breaks.
Zhang Yimou's care for Chen Ting is like a father to his daughter, taking care of everything, and when she faces difficulties, Zhang Yimou will personally solve them.
Chen Ting has a special sense of security with Zhang Yimou, and she is even more convinced.
Their romance is considered one of a kind"A love relationship between an older person and a younger person", and Chen Ting and Zhang Yimou didn't think age was a problem when they were together, and they didn't care about Zhang Yimou's affairs with his ex-wife and Gong Li and others.
Chen Ting has countless beautiful fantasies about love, although she shows a mature temperament.
She never expected Zhang Yimou to accompany her to indulge in crazy play, but obediently waited for him to rest when he was busy with work, and rarely lost her temper with him.
Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting's relationship is even deeper, and they often accompany each other together.
Soon after, Chen Ting, a 19-year-old college student, found out that she was pregnant, and she felt at a loss.
Zhang Yimou learned about this and was told by Chen Ting.
He's been through a lot but still acts very calm. He didn't give an answer immediately, but turned his head and asked Chen Ting: "Do you choose to be born, or do you choose to continue studying?"”
Chen Ting made a bold decision to suspend her children without consulting her parents, which can be described as a major move in her life.
Zhang Yimou never considered getting married, but Chen Ting didn't care about it, she was willing to marry her husband and children again, and only hoped that Zhang Yimou could accompany her home to meet her parents.
Because of his deep love, a 19-year-old student showed such a brave move, which made Zhang Yimou impressed and promised to go home to meet his parents.
Chen Ting brought her boyfriend home, she didn't tell her parents in advance.
As soon as they got home, their parents saw that it was director Zhang Yimou and mistakenly thought that he was here to talk to their daughter about work, so they warmly entertained him.
Chen Ting said a sentence and revealed her boyfriend's identity: "This is my boyfriend, Mom and Dad!."”
Chen Ting's parents were at a loss for a moment and put down what they were doing, but soon they realized the situation and continued to greet Zhang Yimou.
Zhang Yimou is old enough to be Chen Ting's father, and he is a few years older than her parents, which is completely unacceptable to Chen Ting's parents.
Chen Ting's mother quietly called her daughter while cooking and asked her if she was too old, if the two were not suitable, and it was best to break up early.
Chen Ting was not surprised to anticipate this reaction, and she told her mother bluntly: I am pregnant.
This sentence made the mother fall into deep thought, and she quickly called her husband to discuss.
Chen Ting's parents will only agree to her request after Zhang Yimou agrees to the conditions.
Zhang Yimou must marry Chen Ting to ensure Chen Ting's safetyAt the same time, he decided to keep the relationship between the two secret and let his daughter live with him.
The reason why Zhang Yimou and Gong Li broke up was that they could not reach a consensus on marriage, but at the same time he agreed to the proposal of Chen Ting's parents.
Chen Ting's parents no longer hesitated and finally agreed.
In 2001, under the careful care of her parents, Chen Ting successfully welcomed her son in the hospital, named Zhang Yinan.
Zhang Yimou was ecstatic because this was his eldest son.
Zhang Yimou's life seems to have changed from the outside world, and he is still filming in addition to filming.
Although Zhang Yimou did not reveal the fact that he had a child to anyone, he told his biological daughter Zhang Mo.
Zhang Mo is the daughter of Zhang Yimou and Xiao Hua, and after the divorce, she chose to live with her mother, and Zhang Yimou was responsible for paying child support and occasionally visiting her daughter.
Zhang Mo is two years younger than Chen Ting.
Zhang Mo's heart was full of mixed emotions when she learned that her father Zhang Yimou was in love and welcomed a new child.
Because of Gong Li, Zhang Yimou and Xiao Hua divorced;Zhang Yimou hated Gong Li and thought that he could rebuild the old friendship after his father's divorce, but he fell in love with her.
Although Zhang Mo is not young, she already has the ability to think independently, she did not lose her temper like in the past, but accepted her stepmother who was two years older than herself.
Zhang Yimou found a suitable time and arranged for Zhang Mo to meet Chen Ting and their younger brother.
Chen Ting and Zhang Mo seemed a little restrained when they first met, and they were very polite when they communicated, but overall they were quite harmonious.
In order to get along with her stepdaughter, Chen Ting often reminded Zhang Yimou to give her gifts, although Zhang Mo accepted the process.
Subsequently, Zhang Mo went abroad to study, and the communication with Chen Ting became less. And when Zhang Yimou called his daughter **, he always didn't forget to praise Chen Ting.
After Zhang Mo returned to China, he had completely accepted Chen Ting in his heart, so he asked her out to party and go shopping and play together.
Their relationship is more like that of best friends than the typical stepmom and stepdaughter model.
All this made Zhang Yimou feel very gratified.
In 2004, when Zhang Yimou's son was 3 years old, Chen Ting became pregnant again, but she still chose to keep it a secret and let her father-in-law and mother-in-law take care of it.
When she was pregnant, Chen Ting hoped that Zhang Yimou could be by her side, especially because pregnant women are prone to mood swings.
Zhang Yimou didn't have time, so Chen Ting could only comprehend it by herself, silently put up with him not being at home for a month, and never bothered him.
Sometimes, Zhang Yimou returned home exhausted, and the pregnant Chen Ting took the initiative to take care of her husband and prepare delicious meals for him.
Chen Ting used to be the darling of her parents, but after being with Zhang Yimou, she learned to cook, take care of household chores, and care for others.
A few days before giving birth, Zhang Yimou took care of Chen Ting distressedly, so that she gave birth to her daughter smoothly.
Two years have passed, Chen Ting gave birth to three children for Zhang Yimou again, they have two sons and a daughter, and the family is happy.
Zhang Yimou is definitely a winner in life, and he even bought a villa for Chen Ting.
After completing the task, Chen Ting finally made Zhang Yimou have the idea of getting married, and agreed to the conditions of her father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Since falling in love with Zhang Yimou, Chen Ting has been looking forward to this day, she was so excited that she immediately became Mrs. Zhang.
Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting received their certificates in 2011, when their youngest daughter was 5 years old.
It is also said that Chen Ting was able to marry Zhang Yimou, and she really withstood the double pressure of the outside world and her family.
Although Chen Ting's parents have agreed, Zhang Yimou's mother is still a problem.
Zhang Yimou's mother has always had a soft spot for Zhang Yimou's ex-wife Xiao Hua, and she is not optimistic about any of her son's girlfriends.
Although Chen Ting gave birth to many children, the old woman did not approve of it. And Zhang Yimou has grown up, he thinks that he has the final say in his own affairs and does not listen to his mother.
He is convinced that his mother will accept Chen Ting and believes that sooner or later he will be able to resolve the estrangement between them. And Chen Ting is also eager to improve her relationship with her mother-in-law.
After Zhang Yimou got married, he officially took Chen Ting home to meet his mother.
Zhang Yimou's mother also accepted the visit of the two, but maintained a polite attitude towards Chen Ting, as if treating an outsider, and deliberately created an embarrassing situation for her.
Zhang's mother called her son to eat, but not Chen Ting. She knew the reason in her heart, but chose to endure.
Chen Ting was depressed along the way, and Zhang Yimou hurriedly comforted her and said, "Don't be sad, I will bear it for you." ”
Whenever Zhang Yimou went home to visit his mother, he would inadvertently talk about Chen Ting's advantages, such as her caring for the family and taking care of the children.
Zhang Yimou's mother's antipathy towards Chen Ting will be reduced, as long as she says more good things.
Zhang Yimou decided not to do anything, took his elderly mother home, and lived with Chen Ting.
Chen Ting fully supported her husband's choice and immediately seized the opportunity to win the favor of her mother-in-law.
However, Zhang Yimou's mother refused their request to live together.
Chen Ting, who was unwilling, was inspired and decided to use the child to pick up her mother-in-law to live at home.
While informing the children of the tasks in advance, she also invited grandma to live with us and coquettish if grandma did not agree. This sentence was taken to heart by the three children.
Chen Ting left after sending the child over, and the rest was handed over to the child. Zhang's mother was very happy, and she accompanied her grandson and granddaughter to play together.
At this moment, Zhang Yinan spoke as an elder brother and expressed his wish that grandma would live with us.
Zhang's mother instantly realized what was going on, and she refused, but the result was that her grandson and granddaughter began to be coquettish. She couldn't bear to refuse such lovely children, so she agreed to move in with them.
The three children jumped for joy.
Zhang Yimou was very happy, which was one of the reasons why he married Chen Ting.
Chen Ting gave up the brightest room in the house to the old lady and lived with her.
Because her mother-in-law is old and has very strict dietary requirements, Chen Ting cooks for her every day according to the eating habits of the elderly.
Chen Ting always takes care of her mother-in-law's preferences to prepare food and then takes her for a walk.
Zhang's mother's neighbors were envious of her for having such a good daughter-in-law, and when she tried to accept Chen Ting, she found that Chen Ting regarded herself as her biological mother and loved her even more.
Her mother-in-law was hospitalized and sick, and Zhang Yimou couldn't go home because of work. Chen Ting helped her mother-in-law to the hospital alone, running back and forth, waiting by the bedside.
Zhang Yimou's mother was moved by everything she had done and thus truly accepted her.
Zhang Yimou's mother called Chen Ting to her side that day and gave her the bracelet she had been wearing for a long time.
When Chen Ting took it and put it on her hand, she was very shocked, because it meant that she had truly become the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family.
As the years passed, the old lady's body became weaker and weaker, but Chen Ting took care of her every day until the old lady finally passed away.
Chen Ting personally handled her mother-in-law's funeral and sent her on her last journey seriously.
At home, Zhang Yimou doesn't need to worry about many things, such as children's education.
Since the child went to school, Chen Ting has been in charge of picking up and dropping off, causing classmates to often mistakenly think that Zhang Yinan has no father and often "bullied" him.
Zhang Yinan later began to understand his parents, and he even went to his father's crew to visit the class and follow his father to learn shooting techniques. Maybe in the future he will inherit his father's business.
Zhang Yimou's eldest daughter, Zhang Mo, has shown outstanding talent and has become an outstanding female director.
Zhang Mo studied directing abroad, and after graduation, he began to work as a director, and entered the marriage hall with the person he loved, but unfortunately they parted ways in the end.
Chen Ting sent her concern and comforted Zhang Mo, showing her care as a stepmother.
After Zhang Mo returned to China, Chen Ting asked Zhang Yimou to take care of her daughter, whether it was in work or life, as long as she needed to.
After Zhang Mo completed his work, Chen Ting took the child to the scene to support him. She also told her children that they would be as good as their sister in the future.
Zhang Mo achieved success in his career, and then ushered in love again. Chen Ting told her that no matter what kind of problem she encountered, she could ask for help.
Under Chen Ting's supervision, Zhang Mo and her boyfriend entered the palace of marriage.
After getting married, Chen Ting was always a little uneasy, and she often planned to let the two families get together and enjoy a happy time.
Chen Ting drew a perfect end with practical actions and became Zhang Yimou's virtuous helper, which is a relationship that is not favored and full of difficulties and obstacles.
The reason why she does this is because she loves Zhang Yimou deeply, and in the face of love, she is willing to tolerate everything and accept all challenges calmly, because she believes that love can overcome all difficulties.
People admire Chen Ting's love.
Love can sublimate people's hearts to the realm of perfection, and stimulate deep inner yearning and beautiful expectations.
