A letter from Gong Li ruined Zhang Yimou and Xiao Hua’s 10-year marriage. Why did the entanglement between the three of them come to nothing in the end?

I recalled Mr. Xing’s "Tang Bo Hu Spots the Fragrance of Autumn". At that time, this movie was regarded as Stephen Chow's classic masterpiece, and of course his consistent style is still evident in it.

In fact, when this movie was released, it was a late stage in Xingye's career.

So you can feel Stephen Chow's nonsensical skills throughout the film.

But the most surprising thing is Gong Li in the film.

In my impression, Gong Li is not suitable for such a film, so does her appearance hinder the entire film, or does it add a touch of color?

Many people say that Gong Li deserves the success of this film.

Because at that time, she already had a deep foundation in film acting.

01

The second year after Gong Li graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, she was spotted by Zhang Yimou and officially entered the film and television industry.

It was at this time that her entanglement with Zhang Yimou began.

The camera came to Zhang Yimou. At this time, Zhang Yimou was already very famous.

Since I started working as a photographer in 1984, I have already had my own career direction.

The most important thing is that there was a woman beside her who stayed with her silently.

This woman is Xiao Hua.

The two have known each other since they were in junior high school and can be considered childhood sweethearts.

In 1978, they obtained their marriage certificate.

The 28-year-old Zhang Yimou had a stable family, which was very late in that era.

A few years after getting married, Xiao Hua gave birth to his daughter Zhang Mo.

Such a marriage, to be honest, was a kind of happiness in that era.

The most important thing about the hot kang between wife and children is that the couple has experienced ups and downs together for a long time.

Logically speaking, nothing can separate them.

When his daughter Zhang Mo was born, Zhang Yimou was so happy that he didn't sleep a wink for several days and nights.

I am so happy to be a father!

At that time, Zhang Yimou had just started working as a photographer and was full of longing for the future.

He was stuck in the fantasy of the future all day long. Perhaps those days of purity were the sweetest time in Zhang Yimou's life.

02

In 1984, Zhang Yimou served as the photographer for "One and Eight".

This film had epoch-making significance at the time and was also of great significance to Zhang Yimou.

After the success of the film, Zhang Yimou gained great confidence and began to independently serve as the photographer for the film "Yellow Earth".

This film is Zhang Yimou’s masterpiece, and Zhang Yimou won several awards with it.

Although Zhang Yimou was very busy with work at that time, the couple spent less time together and more time apart.

But Xiao Hua was still very happy because he saw her husband achieve such an achievement.

Who knew that all this would change soon.

In 1987, Zhang Yimou directed his first film "Red Sorghum", in which Gong Li played the role of "Jiuer".

The two seemed to hit it off instantly in the film.

In addition to Gong Li's acting skills, her charming temperament made Zhang Yimou unforgettable.

Slowly, the two came together.

It was difficult for Xiao Hua to accept at the time.

Because after all, it was a marriage of nearly ten years, how could it be given up so easily?

But the facts were right in front of Xiao Hua, and she had no choice but to face them.

But in fact, this is a story later. The breakdown of their marriage came from a letter from Gong Li.

03

One day in 1987, which was also the day when the filming of "Red Sorghum" was completed, Zhang Yimou returned home exhausted.

But after a brief rest, Zhang Yimou still devoted himself to intense work.

One day, Xiao Hua packed Zhang Yimou’s clothes as usual.

As a result, she found a letter in her husband Zhang Yimou's pocket, and she curiously opened it and read it.

I saw it read:

"When you left, you took my heart with you"

Xiao Hua's head buzzed, as if he had already Feel something.

So she held back her trembling hands and looked at the signature, which read "Gong Li" between them.

Xiao Hua suddenly collapsed on the ground, she already understood everything.

But she still wanted to read the letter, and then she endured the severe pain and finished reading the letter.

Gong Li probably said in the letter that she was injured by her boyfriend Xiao Yang at school. This matter was spread throughout the school, and she had made final preparations, which was to report this matter to the leadership. Make it clear.

There are other contents that Xiao Hua no longer remembers, but some words still hurt her eyes deeply.

The letter also said:

“I want to get married, I hope to get an answer, I hope God will give me happiness, and you will be with me when we are together. The look in my arms is so cute. We have endless things to say and do together..."

After reading this sentence, Xiao Hua's heart completely dropped, because She knew that this marriage of nearly 10 years was really going to die.

04

After Zhang Yimou returned home, Xiao Hua said nothing and just kept busy in the kitchen.

Zhang Yimou only came to his senses when he saw her acting out of character.

So he quickly walked to the washing machine, then walked to the kitchen and asked Xiao Hua:

"Have you seen my letter?"

Xiao Hua said:< /p>

"I saw it, but I won't give it to you"

Zhang Yimou then said:

"Then what do you want? Do you want to post it?"

Xiao Hua told him:

“No such plan”

At that time, because time was already tight and Zhang Yimou had to go to work, he didn’t bother, closed the door and left. .

When I came back in the evening, I inevitably had a quarrel.

Zhang Yimou smoked heavily while telling Xiao Hua that Gong Li's boyfriend might find him, but he didn't care and might risk all his honor.

Then he murmured to himself:

"She said she didn't want to go to school and wanted to give me a baby."

Xiao Hua said One sentence:

"Go to sleep!"

Then they turned their backs and had no sleep all night...

05

Their behavior The cold war has been going on for a long time. Xiao Hua knew that Zhang Yimou would definitely make a choice and he couldn't avoid it, so he just waited quietly.

In 1988, after Zhang Yimou received the award at the "Red Sorghum" Film Festival, he returned home and had final negotiations with Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua sighed, this moment has finally come.

They ended their 10-year marriage peacefully.

Later, Xiao Hua published a book called "The Past", which wrote about this relationship and disclosed this emotional entanglement.

Unexpectedly, she guarded Zhang Yimou for ten years, but was finally destroyed by a letter.

This may be fate.

Zhang Yimou and Gong Li came together later, but everything came to nothing again.

In 1995, after filming the last scene of "Shake, Shake, Shake to Grandma Bridge", Zhang Yimou announced to everyone the end of his relationship with Gong Li.

But not much was revealed about the breakup of the two.

Everyone said it was because Gong Li filed for divorce from Zhang Yimou, but Zhang Yimou never agreed because he took into account the feelings of his daughter Zhang Mo.

Gong Li felt very sad, and later broke up like this, ending the eight-year relationship with her own hands.

Conclusion

Of course, the emotional entanglement between the three of them for nearly twenty years also ended.

In the long river of time, they all turned into nothing.

What is left behind?

Maybe nothing is left...
