The marriage of celebrities is not only full of gossip attraction to the public, but also a reflection of ordinary people's emotions and marriage.
In recent years, star Hou Yong's three marriages have attracted much attention, and his bumpy emotional experience has become a hot topic of discussion.
Hou Yong's three marriages reflect the complexity and changeability of a successful actor's love life.
His marital experience from the initial campus romance to the later extramarital affair and sibling love was full of ups and downs and drama.
Hou Yong was born in 1967 to an ordinary working family in Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province.
Hou Yong is the eldest son in the family, and his parents are both workers in a local meat factory, so they live in poverty. As a result, he took on the responsibility of taking care of his three younger brothers at a very young age.
He could have continued his education like any other child, but his family's financial situation forced him to give up the opportunity to continue his education and choose to work in a meat factory to share the family's finances. This is what happens after high school.
When Hou Yong first entered the factory, he was assigned to the pig farm for slaughtering work.
You have to get up early in the morning to help your parents with heavy physical work such as slaughtering, bloodletting, and dividing the pigs.
Despite the harsh working environment and bad smell, Hou Yong never complained, but worked silently.
Through hard training, he mastered hard-working skills, and with skillful movements, he soon became an indispensable technical expert in the slaughterhouse.
Colleagues affectionately refer to him as "Hou Yidao" to symbolize his precise slaughtering skills.
Two years later, Hou Yong was promoted to supervisor of the meat factory.
This position is undoubtedly an ascension and a great responsibility for a young man who has no experience in the world.
Despite this, he did not relax, but worked hard to complete the work of the director, and made progress under the affirmation of the leadership. thought that Hou Yong would gradually grow up in this position, but his life trajectory is about to open a new page.
In 1987, Hou Yong met his high school classmate Zhou Huilin by chance.
The two reunited and talked about their passion for the performing arts and their desire to apply for college when they were younger.
After the greetings, Zhou Huilin said that Nanjing University of the Arts was recruiting students and encouraged Hou Yong to consider applying.
After repeated consideration, Hou Yong withstood the opposition of his family and resolutely decided to embark on the road of pursuing his dream without hesitation. He and Zhou Huilin were admitted to Nanjing University of the Arts together and started their own performance journey.
Hou Yong was successfully admitted to the Performance Department of Nanjing University of the Arts in 1989.
Not only did he start his acting career here, but he also got acquainted with the first important relationship record in his life.
One of Hou Yong's classmates, Shen Rong, was two years younger than him.
With her gentle and generous temperament and excellent grades, she has become the recognized school flower of the acting department.
A gala party allowed the two to meet for the first time, and soon they confirmed their feelings for each other. Subsequently, on campus, Hou Yong and Shen Rong fell in love sweetly.
Shen Rong's parents both have stable jobs in Nanjing, and their families are well-off.
She was able to concentrate on her studies without worrying too much about the cost of living.
She never oppresses people with power and is very kind to all her classmates. Hou Yong also admires her tolerant character. The two are like-minded, and their relationship gradually warms up.
After graduating in 1993, they decided to spend the rest of their lives together, and the four years of school time were fleeting.
For the sake of the future of the two, Hou Yong cheered up and successfully proposed to Shen Rong, finally ushering in the moment when the two officially entered into marriage.
After getting married, Shen Rong voluntarily chose to take a back seat, because of the limited resources of acting, she decided to devote more time and energy to supporting her husband on the road of acting.
As soon as Hou Yong stepped into society, he was assigned to the Nanjing Military Region Frontline Repertory Troupe.
Although he is a novice, he lacks resources, so he can only play tricks or do running jobs in some dramas.
Shen Rong was much more successful in this regard, and she soon became the pillar of the Nanjing Repertory Theatre, starring as the main actress in many dramas one after another.
Her fame is growing day by day, and she won the Best Actress Award for her role in the movie "The Married Girl".
Hou Yong felt that it was difficult to bear the situation of strong women and weak men for a while, but Shen Rong didn't care about it, and fully supported her husband, hoping that he would cheer up as soon as possible.
With Shen Rong's encouragement, Hou Yong was not discouraged, but continued to work hard to study his acting skills, waiting for the opportunity to come.
Finally, in 2001, he ushered in a turning point in his life.
Director Song Yeming decided to start filming the action movie "Out of the Amazon" this year, but he was struggling to find a suitable leading actor.
Shen Rong described her husband's situation in detail to Director Song and expressed her willingness to recommend him. In this way, Hou Yong got the opportunity to cooperate with the actor Wang Hui as he wished.
In order to perfectly interpret the image of a special forces soldier going deep into the jungle, Hou Yong came to the beach alone and underwent devilish training for more than ten days under the scorching sun.
He keeps a strict diet every day and wields a heavy machete for physical exercise, and even eats raw beef to increase his protein intake.
Under the direction of the director, he threw himself into all the action scenes. The filming process was very difficult, and he was covered with scars, but Hou Yong did not complain, just to be able to play the role perfectly.
In the end, his hard work paid off.
After its release, Rush Out of Amazon was an unprecedented success.
With his outstanding acting skills, Hou Yong won the Best Actor Award at the 8th China Film Huabiao Awards, making this film make him jump from obscurity to a high-profile actor.
Whenever he came to the stage to accept the award, Hou Yong was always grateful to his wife Shen Rong for her support and dedication over the years. With the backing of her understanding, Hou Yong can chase his acting dream without any scruples.
Hou Yong became an instant hit with "Out of the Amazon", and his acting career continued to flourish with remarkable achievements.
He had the opportunity to start choosing his favorite script to show his talent. In 2003, Hou Yong starred in the business war drama "The Great Dyeing Workshop", successfully creating the image of a businessman with deep and dedicated feelings in the city.
The drama received extremely high ratings, and his acting skills once again won wide acclaim.
In 2004, Hou Yong's role as Du Yin, the tiger of officialdom in the costume drama "** Valley", was deeply loved by the audience, so he won the Best Actor Award for the first time in the Chinese TV Drama Feitian Award.
The 37-year-old Hou Yong has become a first-line actor in the film and television industry, and he has achieved a solid position in this year.
In 2006, Hou Yong created a work with a different style, "Chasing the Sun".
A tragic realistic film that tells the story of an ordinary worker who gradually falls into decadence after a family accident.
Hou Yong portrays a middle-aged man who has lost his direction and is empty inside. His attempt to break through himself once again won him the Best Actor Award at the 11th Beijing University Student Film Festival.
He won the reputation of a "powerful actor" for his role in "Chasing the Sun", thus establishing his status in the film industry.
Hou Yong ushered in the peak of his acting career in 2008.
The anti-Japanese war drama "Darkness Before Dawn" starring him was an unprecedented success this year, winning awards at major award ceremonies.
He eventually became the fourth and youngest actor winner in mainland film history, and won the Best Actor at the 27th Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards.
When he stepped onto the podium and accepted the spotlight and cheers from the audience, he couldn't help but recall the years when he struggled side by side with Shen Rong many years ago.
Thanks to her consistent support over the years, today's brilliance is possible.
Hou Yong's career is thriving, but cracks are beginning to appear in his love life.
He became acquainted with Pan Yuchen when he cooperated in the filming of the TV series "Can't Do Without You" in 2005.
When Pan Yuchen was only 23 years old, he was in the period of youthful and energetic Xiaohuadan.
The two were frequently witnessed appearing in the crew, and there were scandals. Later, they collaborated in many dramas such as "Soldiers on the Battlefield", and their relationship became increasingly ambiguous.
The news of Hou Yong and Shen Rong's divorce was sudden, and it had been three years since their divorce.
In the case of different opinions, there is news that Hou Yong and Pan Yuchen have been living together for a while.
Shen Rong did not comment much on the changes in her relationship, she only said that she would continue to support her ex-husband's acting career.
Once again, the public was touched by her tolerance and generosity.
Hou Yong and Pan Yuchen registered their marriage in 2011 in a low-key manner, and soon gave birth to a daughter.
This junior couple has caused a lot of discussion in the outside world, but they still live a life of isolation.
In his award speech, Hou Yong often expressed his support for his newly married wife.
However, the good times did not last long, and his marriage to Pan Yuchen only lasted 3 years before it broke down. Subsequently, Pan Yuchen quit the entertainment industry and lived a low-key life with his daughter.
Hou Yong caused another sensation in 2017, announcing his marriage to Wang Rui, a post-90s girl who was 50 years old at the time, at lightning speed.
At that time, Wang Rui was only 26 years old, nearly 25 years younger than Hou Yong.
She is known for her beauty and slender legs, and is known as the "fairy bride". The combination of the two old husbands and young wives has once again sparked heated discussions, and there are considerable doubts about whether this relationship with a large age difference can last.
A few years ago, Wang Rui was already a loyal female fan of Hou Yong and was active on major social platforms.
She has expressed her idol worship many times, and even claimed to be "Hou Yong's third wife". Unexpectedly, a few years later, her dream came true and she really married her favorite actor.
After the two got married, they frequently appeared on the red carpet and social events, and at the same time, there were constant rumors of pregnancy, and it seemed that Wang Rui was pregnant. For Hou Yong, an old and strong man, it is undoubtedly a happy event.
However, many netizens have also expressed concerns about the ability of 50-year-old Hou Yong to cope with living with a young wife, and they are worried about whether the failure of the previous two marriages will happen again.
There is no need to criticize who is right and who is wrong, I hope Hou Yong can think deeply, cherish the person in front of him, and have a heart-to-heart relationship with Wang Rui until he grows old together.
Epilogue. Looking back on Hou Yong's life, he has gradually grown from an ordinary worker to a well-known film and television superstar, and his career development can be described as a legend.
The twists and turns on the road of feelings also make people think deeply.
His three marriages all ended in an end, especially the damage and debt to his first wife Shen Rong, which highlighted his complex and multifaceted personality.
These marriage experiences show another side of dedicated actors, and they are also worthy of our in-depth thinking.
Both parties need to manage their relationship with their hearts and cherish each other, rather than giving up easily.
We should respect every relationship and cherish the person in front of us, without being harsh on who is right and who is wrong.
I believe that as long as you have a heart of self-reflection and gratitude, the charm of marriage will still be passed on to the world.
