With the rapid development of the film and television industry, it has become a major economic source in the mainland, the director is the backbone of this industry, Zhang Yimou is one of them, and one of the most famous directors in the mainland, and his success is inseparable from the encouragement and support of two women.

Zhang Yimou was just a small photographer at first, his ex-wife Xiao Hua has been encouraging and supporting him, after years of hard work and his wife's support, he has been able to make a small name in the film and television circle, but Zhang Yimou has ushered in an emotional storm, when he and actress Gong Li's extramarital affair was boiling.
Zhang Yimou and Gong Li
On the one hand, the young and beautiful Gong Li, on the other hand, Xiao Hua, who gave birth to his daughter Zhang Mo, did not resist the temptation of Xin Huan in the end.

In 1983, the two chose to divorce, both said that the parents divorced the children the most guilty, Zhang Mo grew up in the shadow of the parents' divorce.
Zhang Yimou and Gong Li entangled for many years and finally did not come together.
In 1996, Gong Li married Huang Hexiang, the tobacco king of Singapore, Zhang Yimou did not choose to reunite with his ex-wife, and began a new relationship, Chen Ting was younger and more beautiful than he was 31 years younger.

They fell in love in 1999, the two have been very low-key, Zhang Yimou may be because of 2 failed emotional entanglements, he and did not even give Chen Ting a real name.
Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting
Zhang Yimou did not announce remarriage, and Chen Ting did not register for marriage, let alone give Chen Ting a romantic wedding.
He and Chen Ting do not have the name of husband and wife, but they have the reality of husband and wife, and have children.
It can be said that this matter will not be agreed to by any woman, and Chen Ting must have been sent by heaven to take care of Zhang Yimou.
The two lived together in this way, and in 2001 Chen Ting gave birth to a boy and named zhang Yinan.
Zhang Yimou and Zhang Yinan
Because Zhang Yimou is busy with his daily work and rarely accompanies his son, Zhang Yinan's childhood is mostly spent with his mother and grandmother, and the most his father left him is "wait for his father to be busy and take you to the playground to play", while Zhang Yinan waits for more is the back of his father's departure.

However, the mother-in-law was particularly satisfied with her son-in-law Zhang Yimou, and often hung up her son-in-law to show off to the neighbors that my son-in-law was a famous director.
Compared with her mother's excessive high-profile, Chen Ting is much more low-key, after the eldest son, she gave birth to a son and a daughter for Zhang Yimou, never announced her identity to the public, and had to say that she was a generous and open-minded woman.
Zhang Yimou's family
In 2013, Zhang Yimou was hotly discussed by the public for "super life", and he was also pushed to the top of the big wave by public opinion, in order to avoid her husband being hurt, Chen Ting posted on social platforms as a wife to maintain her family.

In the end, the husband and wife were fined nearly 7.5 million yuan for "super birth" and "black household", the husband and wife did not evade responsibility and had the courage to take responsibility, at that time, the Internet was more questioning and accusing her, she did not go back like a vixen scolding the street, but faced everything with a smile.
After this incident, everyone admired Chen Ting, and her generosity and the style of married life of more than 10 years of forbearance deeply impressed everyone.
And Chen Ting's style has also changed "Zhang Mo's" view of himself, and Zhang Mo has always had no good feelings for the women around his father, especially Gong Li.
In her heart, Gong Li is the third party who destroyed her parents' marriage, and in her early years, she wrote a book "My Father and Mother", explaining why her parents divorced and a series of reasons, and even named Gong Li as the culprit that led to her parents' divorce.
Gong Li Zhang Yimou
Because Gong Li's own childhood lacked father's love, Zhang Mo also mentioned how deeply Gong Li hurt himself in the book.
When Zhang Mo first went to the crew to visit his father Zhang Yimou, he had a strong interest in the film industry, so the father and daughter had a common topic, and the relationship was much better than before.
Gong Li, on the other hand, was dissatisfied, she was not accustomed to Zhang Yimou's frequent exchanges with her ex-wife's daughter Zhang Mo, and vented her dissatisfaction in front of Zhang Yimou, secretly preventing all opportunities for their father and daughter to meet.

Therefore, Zhang Mo has no good feelings for the women around his father, and Zhang Yimou is also full of guilt for his daughter, the reason why he and Chen Ting did not announce their marriage is also afraid of hurting their daughter again, at this point Zhang Yimou feels the generosity and understanding of his wife Chen Ting.

After learning what Chen Ting did for her father, she was deeply touched by Zhang Mo, and also made her change her view of marriage tradition, marriage is not only to possess each other, but also to tolerate and achieve each other.
And Chen Ting also regards Zhang Mo as her own, not only let her return to her father, but also support her to go to her father's company to work, Zhang Mo was originally interested in film and television, in order to keep up with her father's pace, she is very diligent and studious, delving into the road of directing.
In order to better learn from the experience, Zhang Yimou will take his daughter to practice when shooting film and television dramas, and Zhang Mo has not lived up to his father's high expectations, and has served as an assistant director and editor and subtitler in many film and television masterpieces directed by his father, such as "Three Guns Shooting Surprise", "Love of three hawthorn trees", and so on.
In 2016, Zhang Mo singled out the pillars and directed the fantasy love film "28-year-old minor" and won the "Newcomer Award Director of the Year" award.
