On October 6, 2013, in Shenyang, a city dyed red by late autumn, a grand wedding kicked off. Yang Ming, the leader of Chinese basketball, and Tang Jialiang, the daughter of Panpan Group, became the protagonists of this wedding. At that time, the newlyweds were regarded by many as "fairy couples", and their happiness seemed to spread to the entire Shenyang sky.
However, the solemn vows of marriage do not protect it from outside interference, nor does it prevent time from quietly leaving its mark between the couple. From the glory of the wedding to the current divorce disputes, the marriage story of Tang Jialiang and Yang Ming is like an undulating picture, recording passion, hurt and persistence.
Tang Jialiang, born in Shenyang in 1990, was born in the golden spoon of Panpan Group. She has a high degree from the Law School of Beijing Normal University, which is a typical high degree Bai Fumei of that era. Yang Ming, born in a sports family, has given him extensive attention as a basketball player. The encounter between the two is like a destined encounter, but it will lead to unpredictable joys and sorrows in the future.
After marriage, Tang Jialiang gave up his career and became a full-time housewife. The arrival of the two children made the family more warm, but it also increased Tang Jialiang's responsibility. As the daughter of a successful entrepreneur, her life shifted from the high pressure of the workplace to the chores of the family, and this change made her feel uncomfortable, and loss and anxiety began to grow in her heart.
Yang Ming, as a professional basketball player, has a full and busy life. Between competitions, training and business activities, he rarely finds time to spend with his wife and children. This also became the fuse for Tang Jialiang to feel lonely and neglected. And when Tang Jialiang began to gradually adapt to the role of a housewife, a storm was brewing in her married life.
In 2019, the first crisis in marriage erupted. Yang Ming cheated, his heart was outside, and he started a relationship with a young and beautiful college student. All this is like a thunderbolt from the blue for Tang Jialiang. Her world seems to collapse in an instant, and the originally happy marriage has become an irreparable wreck.
Tang Jialiang, who was unwilling to break up his marriage, once tried to redeem it, and once begged with tears. However, Yang Ming's heart has long since left her, and all kinds of unsatisfactory marriages have become an excuse for him to find a new love. Tang Jialiang once lowered his head to the dust, but this did not save her marriage. Yang Ming's choice made her deeply realize that no matter how successful and attractive a man is, if he doesn't love you, his heart is not at home, and no amount of effort can fill that hole.
As the shadow of divorce loomed, the conflict between the two intensified, and Yang Ming intensified his damage to Tang Jialiang. In 2019, Yang Ming officially filed for divorce from the court, but due to the intervention of both parents, the lawsuit was revoked, and the marriage ostensibly returned to peace. However, it was only a brief lull before the storm.
As Yang Ming transitioned from a professional basketball player to head coach, his life gradually changed. The skyrocketing cost of advertising endorsements came with his new identity, but this success did not change his attitude towards his family. Yang Ming filed for divorce again, this time more resolutely.
Tang Jialiang, as a wife and mother, once paid a huge price for the maintenance of his marriage. She hesitated between family and career, and finally chose to devote herself to her family. However, this did not give her the happiness she deserved in her marriage. In the ups and downs of marriage, she gradually realized that unilateral efforts cannot be exchanged for the stability of the marriage, let alone change a person who does not love you.
On December 12, 2023, the Shenhe District People's Court of Shenyang City will once again hear the divorce dispute between Tang Jialiang and Yang Ming. Tang Jialiang firmly moved towards the decision to divorce, and this time, she was more rational and no longer compromised. However, the divorce was not all smooth sailing, especially when it came to the ownership of the two children and the division of property, which they still could not agree on.
Yang Ming, who used to be a man of the year on the basketball court, has now become the center of the emotional whirlpool. His choice makes people wonder whether a successful man really needs to get rid of the shackles of marriage in this way. Success does not guarantee a person's emotional maturity, and Yang Ming's hesitation and confusion on the emotional road also seem to reflect the complexity of the problem.
Tang Jialiang, who has grown from a sunny girl to a quiet wife, has experienced the ups and downs of marriage. Her strength and courage are respectable because she understands her value in relationships. Leaving someone who hurt her may be the beginning of her life again. Although her choice is painful, it is also a pursuit of happiness.
Marriage is not the only destination in life, but an experience in a long life journey. Tang Jialiang and Yang Ming's marriage may have been a wrong start, but this mistake also taught her a lot of valuable life lessons. Maybe in the future, she will be able to find the person who really knows how to cherish her and live a happy life of her own. For Yang Ming, perhaps this experience can allow him to find what he really wants in the precipitation of feelings.
We may all be lost on the road of feelings, but the ultimate destination is to rely on courage and wisdom to find it. Tang Jialiang and Yang Ming's marital entanglement may just be an episode in their lives, and the growth that each of them has gained in this process may be the most precious wealth.
