In March 2016, police broke down the door of an apartment in Beijing. Fu Yiwei, 52, stood in the center of the room, his face pale and his eyes flashing. She held on to her composure, claiming that it was just a cough caused by a cold.
However, the urine test results ruthlessly revealed the truth: the once "most beautiful Daji" has now become a slave to drugs. As soon as the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar. The goddess who was once incredibly beautiful is now in prison.
The crew of "Si Meiren" quickly issued a statement that the role of Qu Yuan's mother, which was originally scheduled to be played by Fu Yiwei, was urgently replaced. For a while, there was no place for Fu Yiwei in the film and television industry.
Fu Yiwei couldn't help but recall the trajectory of his life. When she was 17 years old, she won the title with her debut novel "She Came from the Fog", and the scenery was infinite. At that time, she stood in front of the camera, her eyes were clear, her smile was bright, and her natural acting skills amazed everyone present.
At the age of 26, she played Daji in "Fengshen Bang", and became popular all over the country overnight. Every look, every movement, makes the audience fall in love with it. She still remembers her insistence on the role, refusing the kiss scene with the "King of the Rings" and insisting on adding a veil to the costume.
These "willful" actions only add to the mystery of her Daji. However, the gears of fate turned quietly around her unconsciously. From a high-ranking film and television queen to a prisoner in prison, Fu Yiwei's life is like a roller coaster.
Standing in the corner of the detention center, watching the police write the detention notice, Fu Yiwei suddenly realized that the lies he had carefully woven had finally collapsed. She couldn't help but mutter, "How did I get this far?" At this moment, the once beautiful screen goddess has completely fallen into the trough of her life.
There was no longer the splendor of the past in her eyes, replaced by deep remorse and helplessness. Fu Yiwei knew that he had ruined his hard-won acting career with his own hands, and he had also lived up to the expectations of countless fans.
What made her heart hurt even more was that her actions had affected her innocent son. Gao Lenan, who entered the film and television industry at the age of 14, originally had a bright future. However, his mother's drug scandal made him face unemployment as soon as he graduated, and the script he had finally negotiated was terminated.
"I failed to live up to my son's expectations," Fu Yiwei choked up, "he is so good, but he paid the price for my mistakes." After two months of detention, Fu Yiwei was released. She publicly apologized to the public in an attempt to salvage her image.
However, the once brilliant acting career is a thing of the past. Today, she can only post some clips of past film and television works on the short video platform, relying on nostalgia to maintain contact with the audience.
From becoming famous at the age of 17 to being imprisoned at the age of 52, Fu Yiwei's life has experienced too many ups and downs. She couldn't help but sigh: "Fate has given me too many gifts, but it has also secretly marked the price."
In the summer of 1980, 16-year-old Fu Yiwei stood on campus, his eyes flashing with a vision for the future. When the crew of the movie "She Came from the Fog" came to her junior high school for casting, in the face of the director's question, she did not have stage fright and confidently replied: "No, but I can learn."
This self-confidence earned her the first important role in her life - "Xiao Man". Fu Yiwei vividly remembers that when she stood in front of the camera for the first time, she was both nervous and excited.
She struggled to adjust her breathing and get herself into character. In front of the camera, her eyes were clear, her smile was bright, and her natural acting skills amazed everyone present. After the film was released, Fu Yiwei became famous in one fell swoop.
What surprised her even more was that she also won the "Best Actress" at the first China Film Association Performance Awards. After being sealed at the age of 17, this achievement inspired her and planted a love for acting in her heart.
However, what really made Fu Yiwei famous was the TV series "Fengshen Bang" broadcast in 1990. At the age of 26, she plays Daji, who is beautiful and charming. Every look, every movement, makes the audience fall in love with it.
Fu Yiwei still remembers that at that time she had her own understanding and insistence on the role. She refuses to kiss the "King of the Princess" and insists on adding a veil to the costume, which only adds to the mystery of her Daji.
After the broadcast of "Fengshen List", Fu Yiwei became a household name overnight. She frequently appears in major variety shows, with continuous film appointments, and she is in the limelight for a while. In a certain show, when asked why she refused the kiss scene, she smiled and said: "If it was Tang Zhenzong (Bo Yi Kao in the play), I might have agreed."
These words caused a sensation and also let people see her frank side. Fu Yiwei, whose career is in full swing, is full of self-confidence. She felt that she was favored by the heavens and would succeed in whatever she did.
In 1994, she went to Taiwan to shoot "Tang Taizong Li Shimin" and won a sky-high salary of 10,000 yuan for one episode, which caused a huge sensation at the time. At that time, the average monthly salary in China was only 100 yuan, and her salary even beat other actresses in the same crew several streets.
However, high salaries bring not only glory, but also pressure and loneliness. went to Taiwan to shoot, Fu Yiwei, who was already lonely, had to endure the exclusion of other actresses. At the same time, the high-intensity shooting overwhelmed her.
Once, in order to catch up with the schedule, she did not close her eyes for three days. When the crew's lights accidentally shot into her eyes, she became blind and recovered after a whole month of treatment.
Physically and mentally exhausted, she retreated and decided to find another track. Just because she liked Lin Qingxia, she decided to partner with a friend and go to Xi'an to act as Lin Qingxia's husband Xing Li? Its high-end clothing brand.
However, the venture was not successful. She only sold 300 yuan on the first day of opening, and since then she has to lose 2,000 yuan every day. Just when she was in trouble, the invitation of "Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law" came.
Fu Yiwei grabbed this life-saving straw and returned to the familiar screen again. As "Yu Xiaojiao", she once again won the love of the audience. The film created a precedent for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas, and after it was broadcast, Fu Yiwei became popular again.
Recalling that glorious period, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in Fu Yiwei's eyes. She couldn't help muttering: "At that time, I thought I could stand at the top forever.
Who would have thought that fate would secretly mark the price. At the highlight of his career, Fu Yiwei's love life has also experienced ups and downs. When she was 20 years old, during the filming of "Magical Land", she fell in love with Yang Xiaodan, who was 9 years older than herself.
At that time, Fu Yiwei was full of longing and thought that he had found true love. "I was too young at the time," Fu Yiwei recalled, with a hint of regret in his eyes, "and insisted on getting married despite his family's opposition."
However, reality soon hit her in the face. She has had no worries about food and clothing since she was a child, and she is at a loss in the face of the life of firewood, rice, oil and salt. Whenever she disagreed with her husband, she willfully ran away from home.
Fu Yiwei clearly remembered that at that time, she didn't know how to face firewood, rice, oil and salt, let alone how to deal with twists and turns. In addition, it is the norm for the couple to get together less and leave more, and the once strong love and sweetness have gradually worn out.
8 years of married life finally came to an end in gathering less and leaving more. Fu Yiwei said with a wry smile: "We are all too young to know how to manage marriage. In 1992, 28-year-old Fu Yiwei met the second spring.
She fell in love with her teacher at the Beijing Dance Academy and soon formed a new family. The following year, she gave birth to her son, Gao Lenan. In order to take care of her children, she chose to take a break from the screen for a year.
"At that time, I thought I had finally found a balance in my life," Fu Yiwei recalled, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, "I had a career, a family, and a lovely son."
However, fate played a joke on her again. After her comeback, she starred in "Tang Taizong Li Shimin", although the salary hit a new high, but the high-intensity shooting made her physically and mentally exhausted.
At one point, she even suffered from temporary blindness due to three days of sleepless sleep, which took a whole month of treatment to recover. Between the high pressure of his career and the responsibilities of his family, Fu Yiwei began to feel powerless.
She decided to try her hand at transformation and enter the business world. "I was so naïve," she said self-deprecatingly, "thinking that if acting went so well, I would definitely succeed in business." However, reality hit her in the face.
Just because she liked Lin Qingxia, she decided to partner with a friend and go to Xi'an to act as Lin Qingxia's husband Xing Li? Its high-end clothing brand. It only sold for 300 yuan on the first day of opening, and has been losing money every day since then.
Faced with her husband's doubts and her partner's dissatisfaction, Fu Yiwei felt the taste of failure for the first time. Just when she was in trouble, the invitation of "Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law" came.
Fu Yiwei grabbed this life-saving straw and returned to the familiar screen again. As "Yu Xiaojiao", she once again won the love of the audience. However, the ups and downs of her career failed to save her crumbling marriage after all.
In 2000, her 8-year marriage with Gao also came to an end, leaving her 7-year-old son Gao Lenan to live with her. Although his married life is not well managed, Fu Yiwei's career is thriving.
She starred in film and television dramas such as "Oriental Storm", "Little Husband", and "Stunning Shuangjiao", and the clothing business that once expanded to more than 30 stores also made her a rich woman worth tens of millions.
Looking back on the past, Fu Yiwei was full of emotion: "I once thought that I was loved by God and chased after me to enjoy food. But now it seems that all the gifts of fate are secretly marked with prices behind them.
In 2012, 48-year-old Fu Yiwei stood on the podium of the "Huading Award for Best Supporting Actress" and was recognized again with his wonderful performance in "The Moon Knife at the End of the World". Her eyes glistened with tears and she was filled with emotion.
Who would have thought that this would be the last glory of her acting career. "At that time, I thought this was the second spring of my career," Fu Yiwei recalled, with a slight choked voice in his voice, "I never thought that the nightmare was quietly coming."
After the divorce, Fu Yiwei's heart was full of emptiness and confusion. She began to seek thrills, trying to fill the void in her heart. "I was so weak," she blamed herself, "that I chose to numb myself with drugs."
"Since 2009, Fu Yiwei has been trapped in a seven-year drug abyss. She thought she could control it and quit at any time. However, reality slapped her in the face hard.
On that morning in March 2016, when the police broke down the door, Fu Yiwei suddenly woke up. Only then did she realize that she had sunk hopelessly. The 52-year-old, standing in the corner of the detention center and watching the police write the detention notice, suddenly realized that the lies she had carefully woven had finally come to an end.
"At that moment, I felt like the whole world had collapsed," Fu recalled, his eyes full of remorse, "I ruined everything with my own hands." At first, Fu Yiwei refused to admit that he had broken the law, only saying that he was sick and had a cough.
However, with the irrefutable evidence of the urine test, she could no longer get away with it. The fact that she and her cousin smoked contraband together with her own sister is nowhere to hide. As soon as the news of her imprisonment came out, the film and television industry that once pursued her changed its face instantly.
The crew of "Si Meiren" urgently changed roles, and other crews also drew a line with her. The once high-flying queen of film and television became a street rat overnight. "I failed to live up to my son's expectations," Fu Yiwei choked up, "he is so good, but he paid the price for my mistakes."
After two months of detention, Fu Yiwei was released. She publicly apologized to the public in an attempt to salvage her image. However, the once brilliant acting career is a thing of the past.
From becoming famous at the age of 17 to being imprisoned at the age of 52, Fu Yiwei's life has experienced too many ups and downs. She couldn't help but sigh: "Fate has given me too many gifts, but it has also secretly marked the price."
Today's Fu Yiwei can only publish some clips of past film and television works on the short video platform, relying on nostalgia to maintain contact with the audience. However, the heart-piercing truth is that what the film and television rivers and lakes left her is just a distant screen legend.
Looking back, Fu Yiwei sighed deeply: "I used to think that I was loved by God, and I didn't think about many things, and I didn't care what would happen in the future. Now it seems that this mentality is the worst enemy.
"From the peak to the trough, Fu Yiwei paid a painful price. Her story has also become a warning in the entertainment industry: no one can always be lucky, only by cherishing everything they have and taking every step in a down-to-earth manner can they go further and more steadily.
In Fu Yiwei's most difficult moment, it was her son Gao Lenan who gave her the courage to continue living. When Fu Yiwei was detained for drug use, 23-year-old Gao Lenan bravely stood up and apologized to the public on behalf of his mother.
"I will always remember what my son said at that time," Fu Yiwei recalled, tears welling up in his eyes, "and he said that he would shoulder the responsibility of the family and stand up again with me." Gao Lenan's support gave Fu Yiwei hope for rebirth.
On the occasion of her birthday, the interaction between the mother and son touched countless netizens. Gao Lenan sent his mother's blessings and expressions of love intimately. And Fu Yiwei responded: "Son, you are the driving force for my survival."
In life, Gao Lenan is more like Fu Yiwei's little padded jacket. Fu Yiwei once revealed on the show that he doesn't like to cook, and his son prepares a week's meals on his day off.
Whenever he talks about his son's intimacy, Fu Yiwei's eyes will show relief and pride. Gao Lenan not only takes care of his mother in life, but also follows in his mother's footsteps in his career.
At the age of 14, he left a wonderful performance in "Emergency Link", showing good acting skills. Fu Yiwei once proudly said that she personally brought her son into the film and television industry.
However, fate once again played a cruel joke on Fu Yiwei. In October 2024, Gao Lenan, who was only 30 years old, passed away due to illness. This young man, who had promised to accompany his mother forever, finally passed away before her.
"When I learned of my son's death, I felt like the whole world had collapsed," Fu Yiwei choked up, "and my heart was torn apart and could never heal."
"59-year-old Fu Yiwei, a white-haired person sends a black-haired person. This blow was more cruel to her than any punishment. She couldn't help but recall her son's comments on social media 7 years ago, saying that she hoped that the future girl would also have a beautiful face and a beautiful heart like her mother.
Today, that dream can never be realized. Gao Lenan's departure not only made Fu Yiwei lose the most important pillar of her life, but also completely lost her hope of returning to the film and television industry.
Attentive netizens found that Gao Lenan's father was still active on the show at the end of September, which made people even more embarrassed. Today's Fu Yiwei can only post some clips of past film and television works on the short video platform, relying on nostalgia to maintain contact with the audience.
However, the heart-piercing truth is that what the film and television rivers and lakes left her is just a distant screen legend. Fu Yiwei, who lost his son, not only lost the focus of his life, but also lost the courage to stand up again.
Her life seems to have come to an end. Standing at the 59-year-old point of his life, Fu Yiwei looks back on the past with mixed feelings. From being sealed at the age of 17, to becoming popular at the age of 26, to being imprisoned at the age of 52, and finally to sending a white-haired person to a black-haired person at the age of 59, her life is like a drama of ups and downs.
"Behind all the gifts of fate are secretly marked prices." Fu Yiwei said with a wry smile, "I used to think that I was loved by God, and I didn't think about many things, and I didn't care what would happen in the future."
Now it seems that this mentality is the worst enemy. Recalling his acting career, Fu Yiwei was full of emotion. At the age of 16, she won the role of "She Came from the Fog" with the confidence of "I can't, but I can learn", and started her star journey.
At the age of 26, she played Daji in "Fengshen Bang", and became famous in one fell swoop and became "the most beautiful Daji". However, it was this self-confidence and success that made her gradually lose herself. "I have used up all the luck of my life," Fu Yiwei said sadly, "If I could cherish everything I had and take every step in a down-to-earth manner, maybe there would not be a tragedy later."
Fu Yiwei's life trajectory, from glory to despair, and then to the final grief, all shows the impermanence of fate. Her story has also become a warning in the entertainment industry: no one can always be lucky, only by cherishing the present can we go further and more steadily.
"I hope that young people can learn from my experience," Fu Yiwei said sincerely, "and don't be like me, waiting until I lose to know how to cherish it." Remember, all success is temporary, and only by keeping working hard can you go further.
"The pain of losing his son made Fu Yiwei realize the preciousness of life more deeply." If I could do it all over again, I would cherish every moment with my son even more," she choked up, "Life is too fragile, we have to learn to live in the moment and cherish the people around us."
"There is only one way to go through life, and there is no chance to start over. Everyone has to pay for what they do. Fu Yiwei's story is the best interpretation of this truth.
