Zhang Yimou and Gong Li, a once high-profile celebrity couple, rejoined hands on March 11, 2006 to attend the press conference of "Full of City". The two who worked together again after 11 years of breakup sparked a strong discussion among netizens. **, Gong Li held her head with a sad face, while Zhang Yimou sat next to her, looking distressed. This scene is reminiscent of their love story.
However, their love is not simply romantic, but full of twists and turns and contradictions. Xiao Hua described in detail the emotional entanglement between the two in her book "The Past". She once found a love letter written by Gong Li to Zhang Yimou in Zhang Yimou's jacket pocket. This love letter is full of tenderness and sweetness, but it is also mixed with content that makes Xiao Hua's heart like a knife.
The letter said: "You are gone, and you have taken my heart with you, and when we are together, you look so lovely in my arms, and we have endless words and things to do together." This unforgettable text reveals the passionate love between the two at that time. However, this relationship also brought deep pain to Xiao Hua. Their encounter stemmed from the collaboration of Red Sorghum.
This relationship is like a thunderbolt, and the passion is out of control. At that time, Gong Li also had a boyfriend named Yang, and when he went to visit the class, he noticed the ambiguous relationship between Gong Li and Zhang Yimou, and he also beat Gong Li for this. Gong Li also mentioned this incident in a letter to Zhang Yimou. If Xiao Hua had been ruthless at the beginning, he might have made Zhang Yimou fall into disrepute.
This emotionally complex story makes people sigh how deep Zhang Yimou's love for Gong Li is. Zhang Yimou used to be a very utilitarian person who has always pursued success in his career. However, when he met Gong Li, he actually gave birth to the idea of "ignoring nothing" for her. At that time, the society was relatively conservative, and if the "marital cheating" was exposed, coupled with the love letter in Xiao Hua's hand, it would be a fatal blow to Zhang Yimou.
However, he went home and told Xiao Hua: "I don't want anything anymore, she said she wants to marry me and give me a baby." Such a statement made Xiao Hua understand that the relationship between the two was irretrievable. Xiao Hua has made a lot of efforts to save this marriage, and even invited Zhang Yimou's parents to persuade him. Zhang Yimou's vision is really unique, he took a fancy to Gong Li's ambition and strength, and was willing to abandon his wife and daughter for her, and he was even more desperate.
Fortunately, Xiao Hua's kindness finally saved an outstanding director and a dazzling film superstar. Zhang Yimou and Gong Li have left many common memories in their eight years together, and during this time, Zhang Yimou is obviously happy. They have left a common footprint in many places, including the seaside, temples, and the Great Wall. Especially a group photo on the Great Wall.
It is said that Gong Li was moved to tears after hearing Zhang Yimou's promise at the press conference of "The City is Full of ** A". Zhang Yimou said: "I promised Gong Li on the Great Wall that I would make a ** film in the future and let her be the empress, and I am here to fulfill my promise today." These words made Gong Li cry silently. However, in the end, the two still went their separate ways in life.
Gong Li later married the wealthy businessman Huang Hexiang, and later Michelle. And Zhang Yimou chose his wife Chen Ting, who was 31 years younger than him, and gave birth to 3 children with her. This transformation makes people think deeply, maybe the love story is not inevitable to come to the end, what is needed is difficult fate and firm courage. The end of this beautiful love is so incredible, but it also makes people deeply understand the impermanence of fate and the impermanence of life.
