This is a bloody divorce case that happened in the celebrity circle, which was a sensation back then and became a topic of conversation among countless people. Who would have thought that popular actor Wang Xueqi and his wife Sun Changning, after 40 years of ups and downs in the love marathon, finally chose to part ways?
Let's turn back the clock and retrace the peaks and turns of their relationship.
On a spring day in 1969, at the crowded capital airport, a polite young man was in a daze alone. He was the later film and television superstar Wang Xueqi, who was just a student of Chinese opera at that time.
Soon, Sun Changning appeared in his field of vision. She is an elegant and intellectual dancer, dressed in a neat cheongsam, and approaches with flying steps. Maybe it was love at first sight, maybe it was destined fate, in short, from that moment on, the lives of the two were tightly integrated.
A year later, with the blessings of relatives and friends, Wang Xueqi and Sun Changning tied the knot. Although both of them were just ordinary small clerks at that time, and their lives were poor, the atmosphere of happiness was everywhere.
They relied on each other for their lives, started from scratch, and used their youth and hard work to decorate their small home. In 1978, on a rainy morning, midwives brought their first child, Wang Daqing. A small family adds joy and responsibility.
That year, Wang Xueqi entered the Kongzheng Repertory Troupe and started his acting career. He was diligent and hardworking, and he performed well on stage, and soon became famous.
As his career became more and more prosperous, his family became wealthy. They moved from that cramped cottage to a villa. But the good times didn't last long, and after a while, Wang Xueqi began to be busy running around the crew, and Sun Changning, as a diplomat, also traveled abroad for a long time.
A young couple drifted apart like this, and fate seemed to be gradually crushed by the wheels of time to lose its texture.
In 1991, Wang Xueqi starred in the well-known TV series "Farewell My Concubine", which became an instant hit, and his fame sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
Excellent acting skills coupled with handsome tough facial features made him one of the brightest stars in the film and television industry. His work became busier, and his happy married life drifted away.
Once, Wang Daqing was admitted from kindergarten and was suspected of being abused by domestic violence. Although the mystery was quickly solved, Wang Xueqi was really taken aback at that time. He realized his responsibilities as a father, and began to reflect on whether he took his career too seriously and neglected to take care of his family.
In 2002, on a cold winter night, Wang Xueqi drove his car around the residential areas of the capital. From time to time, he pulled down the window and let the snow fly into the car, watching the snowflakes fly on him.
"That's it, it's time to finish." He said in his heart. Early the next morning, he began to prepare for the start of divorce proceedings. The reason is nothing more than that the life and work trajectories of two people are gradually drifting apart, lacking intersection, and the original intention of falling in love no longer exists.
When Sun Changning received the letter from the lawsuit, he was hit in the heart on the spot. "How so? The senior year is coming to the door, and the relationship between the two is still so good, why did they come to this point?
Her heart swayed and she was so distracted that she cried until she almost collapsed. She called Wang Xueqi to ask what was going on, but the other party had a playful and cold tone, and did not mention anything about feelings, but said with a righteous attitude that this was the best choice to protect the rights and interests of both parties.
The divorce battle began. The two were locked in lengthy negotiations and wrestling. One link is that Sun Changning does not admit that she and her husband have no emotional foundation, and desperately wants to save the marriage.
The other link is Wang Xueqi's insistence on the grounds that "there is no common language between us" and "our life trajectory has gradually drifted apart". It's really you coming and going, protracted.
At the end of 2011, on a divorce agreement, Wang Xueqi and Sun Changning finally reached an agreement on the divorce fee of 2 million yuan. In this way, a couple who have gone through more than 40 years of ups and downs finally walked towards the road of breaking up.
Wang Xueqi said in an interview that the divorce was actually a joint decision between the two of them, not wishful thinking. He said that he is grateful for this marriage, but if it continues, it will hurt even more.
"Everyone should be honest with their hearts and live the way they want to be." He said. There are also speculations on the Internet that the reason why Wang Xueqi chose to divorce may be because he has a new motive for love. But this claim has been forcefully refuted by both sides.
After the divorce, Wang Xueqi did not remarry, but devoted most of his energy to his career. In order to make up for his negligence to his son when he was young, he began to take the initiative to move around and communicate more with his son Wang Daqing, and the relationship between the two also improved.
After watching his son get married and have children, Wang Xueqi devoted most of his time and energy to the education of his grandson, showing the typical doting of an old man.
As for Wang Xueqi's ex-wife Sun Changning, she has been relatively low-key after the divorce turmoil. But according to insiders, she still seems to be unable to fully let go of the end of this marriage. After all, a person's youth is spent in this relationship.
Looking back on the causes and consequences of the divorce of this celebrity couple, we can't help but sigh how difficult it is to control the balance of career achievements and family life. Wang Xueqi chose a career, but he also lost his marriage because of it; Sun Changning insisted on his marriage and finally had to let go. In this marriage drama, everyone has worked hard to maintain it, but it is inevitable that there will be mistakes and regrets.
The divorce case made a big splash, and many insiders jumped out and shook their lips. Some people questioned Wang Xueqi's empathy and loss of his wife; There are also people who cry out for him, thinking that there is nothing wrong with a person pursuing career ideals; Others felt that Sun Changning was too narrow and lacked understanding of her husband's work. Under the disturbance, people have to feel how deep the pain of this divorce is.
The impact of the divorce case not only affected the parties, but also affected Wang Daqing's family. As the only son of Wang Xueqi and Sun Changning, Wang Daqing was also taken aback by the news of his parents' divorce.
"I was very frustrated and wondered how my parents could have come this far." Years later he recalled. At one point, he even refused to communicate with his father, and it was only in recent years that the relationship between father and son had improved.
In the face of doubts about divorce, Wang Xueqi has repeatedly argued that his breakup with his wife was purely helpless. "The essence of marriage is mutual understanding, consideration and tolerance.
If it continues, it will only increase the damage. He said that the two did have a burning relationship back then, but later due to the separation of life and work, they both drifted apart.
Recalling this relationship many years later, Sun Changning also cried several times. "We really loved each other back then, but unfortunately in the end it went out of shape due to professional and other factors." She said helplessly, "Sometimes life is so impermanent, and good things will inevitably be consumed by time." "
This sensational celebrity divorce case shows the double price of fame and fortune. Career has achieved one's own ideals, but it will also affect family life; Marital happiness requires mutual understanding from both parties, but if there is no intersection, it will eventually disintegrate. The contradictions and struggles in this may inevitably be encountered by everyone.
