On the stage of the 2024 Shanghai International Television Festival, Tong Yao held the Magnolia Best Actress trophy with both hands, tears flashing in the spotlight. Her voice trembled slightly: "I never thought that such a beautiful thing could happen to me......" At this moment, flowers, applause and praise surrounded her.
However, on that night 16 years ago, 18-year-old Tong Yao knelt on the ground and begged, covered in bruises. Zhang Mo, her boyfriend at the time, punched and kicked her and beat her unconscious.
Who would have thought that the girl who once struggled in the haze of violence would now stand in the spotlight with such a dazzling attitude? And what kind of ups and downs did the former abuser Zhang Mo experience in life? Let's look back on these 16 years of ups and downs and witness a legendary story of rebirth and redemption.
Tong Yao's story begins with a warm family in Kunming. Born in 1985, her father was a brilliant engineer and her mother was a senior executive in the company. Under the care of her parents, Tong Yao thrived and was versatile, especially good at singing and dancing.
At the age of 17, with the dream of being an actress, she was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama with excellent grades and became the youngest student in her class. Her delicate appearance and sweet personality soon earned her the reputation of "Little Zhang Ziyi", and her classmates liked this sunny and cheerful girl.
A twist of fate quietly occurred in a chance encounter. In her freshman year, Tong Yao returned to Kunming to visit friends and met Zhang Mo who was filming locally on the street.
Zhang Mo was attracted by Tong Yao's beauty and launched a passionate pursuit. After returning to Beijing, the two were pleasantly surprised to find that they were alumni. Zhang Mo took the initiative to invite Tong Yao to dinner and confess his heart.
Although they have known each other for a short time, Tong Yao also has a good impression of this senior, and the two soon fell in love.
However, the good times were short-lived. As the relationship deepened, Tong Yao gradually discovered that Zhang Mo had a strong desire to control. He often called "Chagang" to inquire about Tong Yao's whereabouts.
If Tong Yao didn't answer in time, Zhang Mo would be furious. This behavior made Tong Yao feel troubled, and the contradiction between the two intensified day by day.
Finally, during Zhang Mo's filming in Hangzhou, Tong Yao went to visit the class. Because of the disagreement between the two, Zhang Mo inflicted violence on Tong Yao. This experience brought great psychological trauma to Tong Yao.
She proposed to break up but was threatened by Zhang Mo: "If you dare to break up, I will let you understand what pain is, and I will make you deeply afraid."
Zhang Mo even splashed a cup of hot milk tea on Tong Yao's face. Since then, Tong Yao began to be afraid of seeing Zhang Mo, so she could only avoid him as much as possible.
However, fate seems to have played a cruel joke on her. In 2002, Tong Yao got the opportunity to participate in the period drama "Lin Hai Xueyuan". In order to grasp this rare opportunity, she begged the school to make an exception and allow her to take leave to go out filming.
This move sparked an affair with the teaching director, which eventually reached Zhang Mo's ears.
The angry Zhang Mo called many times to ask to meet, but Tong Yao had to agree. As soon as the two met, a fierce quarrel broke out, and Zhang Mo accused her of betraying her. Zhang Mo, who lost his mind, fought Tong Yao, and even if Tong Yao knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, he could not stop his atrocity.
This time, Tong Yao was beaten unconscious and sent to the hospital for treatment. The results of the hospital showed that Tong Yao's nose bridge was fractured, her left eye was congested, and multiple soft tissues were damaged.
This incident that shocked the campus not only brought physical and psychological trauma to Tong Yao, but also cast a shadow on her career. Zhang Mo and the dean of education were both expelled from the school, while Tong Yao was in a state of hiding for a long time.
She was once known as "Little Zhang Ziyi", but now she has no opportunity to connect with advertising endorsements. What was once a bright future seemed to come to naught overnight.
Tong Yao's dream was ruthlessly hit by love and violence. At the age of 18, she had to face the double dilemma of career and life alone, and the wounds in her heart were even more difficult to heal.
Fate is always full of drama. Just when Tong Yao fell into a trough, an opportunity quietly came. In 2012, the anti-Japanese TV series "Militia Ge Erdan" became a turning point in her career.
The image of Meng Xizi played by Tong Yao in the play is simple and kind, which deeply touched the audience. This role won her the "New Actress Award" at the TV drama festival.
This affirmation seems to be a shot in the arm, allowing Tong Yao to regain her confidence and enthusiasm for her acting career.
Just when her career began to improve, Tong Yao's love life also ushered in a turnaround. In 2013, a chance gathering of friends allowed her to meet Wang Ran, who was 17 years older than herself.
As the founder of CEC Capital, Wang Ran has made great achievements in the fields of media and entertainment, health industry, etc. This successful person fell in love with Tong Yao at first sight and launched a passionate pursuit.
However, the pain of the past made Tong Yao wary of feelings. She had a cold attitude towards Wang Ran, and even some resistance. But Wang Ran's sincerity and patience finally touched her.
Wang Ran often sent her flowers, brand-name handbags and high-end cosmetics, and more importantly, he gave her all-round care and support for Tong Yao's career.
As time went by, Tong Yao was gradually moved by Wang Ran's sincerity. Once Tong Yao called Wang Ran after finishing work late at night, hoping that he would come to pick her up. Wang Ran, who had already fallen asleep, drove over without saying a word, and at this moment Tong Yao really felt the warmth of being loved.
With the nourishment of love, Tong Yao's career is becoming more and more prosperous. In 2016, she played the role of a noble concubine in the costume masterpiece "The Legend of Ruyi", and her popularity has increased significantly.
In 2018, she participated in the epic period drama "Dajiang Dahe" and successfully played the role of Song Yunping. With this work, Tong Yao won the Magnolia Best Supporting Actress Award that year, and truly stood firm in the entertainment industry.
In 2019, the relationship between Tong Yao and Wang Ran came to fruition. They were married in an ancient castle in Rome, Italy. Tong Yao, dressed in a white wedding dress, made an eternal vow with her beloved against the backdrop of bright fireworks.
This fairytale wedding seems to be a kind of redemption for Tong Yao's past pain.
After marriage, Tong Yao did not stop pursuing her career. On the contrary, with the support of love, she is more confident in her acting career. In 2020, she starred in the urban drama "Thirty Only", which sparked heated discussions.
Tong Yao played the role of Gu Jia in the play, showing the independence and strength of urban women, and won wide acclaim from the audience. With this role, Tong Yao finally won the Magnolia Best Actress Award and truly reached the pinnacle of her acting career.
From a hurt girl to a successful actor, from being wary of love to finding true love, Tong Yao's road to rebirth is full of hardships but no lack of warmth. Her story tells us that even if we encounter setbacks, as long as we maintain hope and persist in pursuit, we will eventually usher in the spring of life.
Compared with Tong Yao's brilliance, Zhang Mo's life trajectory is full of ups and downs and regrets. After the beating of Tong Yao, although he was expelled from school, with the influence of his father Zhang Guoli, Zhang Mo still obtained a lot of acting resources.
As a successful actor and loving father, Zhang Guoli has always worked hard to pave the way for his son. In 2007, with the strong support of his father, the mythological comedy "The Legend of Jigong" starring Zhang Mo was released and received a good response.
This seems to indicate that Zhang Mo's acting career is about to take off.
Later, Zhang Guoli actively recommended his son to well-known directors. These efforts earned Zhang Mo the opportunity to participate in the 2010 feature film Let the Bullets Fly, and the 2012 historical drama 1942.
With these works, Zhang Mo's acting career is gradually on the right track, and the violent acts of the past seem to be gradually forgotten by the public.
However, just when his career seemed to be improving, Zhang Mo once again challenged the public's bottom line. On August 29, 2014, a shocking news spread: Zhang Mo was arrested by the Haidian Branch of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau for taking drugs many times and on suspicion of allowing others to take drugs.
This incident was like a bolt from the blue, which not only ruined Zhang Mo's career that he had so hard to rebuild, but also dealt a heavy blow to Zhang Guoguo's family.
On January 27, 2015, the court sentenced Zhang Mo to six months in prison and a fine of 5,000 yuan. This incident completely ruined the possibility of Zhang Mo's continued development in the entertainment industry, and he officially became a "bad artist".
After being released from prison, Zhang Mo has not been able to find a suitable job, and has long relied on his father's financial support to make ends meet. Mr. Zhang had tried to get his son to join two of his companies as a shareholder and top manager, hoping to help him get back on his feet.
However, these efforts seem to have had little effect. In 2021, Zhang Mo chose to withdraw from his father's company, which is undoubtedly another blow to Zhang Guoli.
Today's Zhang Mo has long lost his former aura. was once regarded as a promising "second generation star", but now he can only retreat into the background and rely on his father's protection to live.
In a chance encounter on the street, netizens found that Zhang Mo had a scruffy beard, which was slightly vicissitudes of life, in stark contrast to his energetic father.
Zhang Mo's story is a cautionary tale about opportunity and choice. Even if you have a good starting point and sufficient resources, if you don't cherish it, you will eventually lose everything.
His ups and downs in life are in stark contrast to Tong Yao's counterattack, which is embarrassing.
Looking back on Tong Yao's acting career, we can clearly see her growth trajectory. From being originally called "Little Zhang Ziyi" to now becoming a powerful actor, Tong Yao has proved with her own efforts that she is not just a beautiful face.
Tong Yao's acting career was not all smooth sailing. After experiencing that dark past, she was once hidden in the snow and could not even receive advertising endorsements. However, Tong Yao did not give up her dream of being an actor.

With this role, Tong Yao won the Magnolia Best Supporting Actress Award, proving her strength.
However, 2020's "Thirty Only" is undoubtedly the pinnacle of Tong Yao's career. The role of Gu Jia she plays in the play perfectly interprets the independence, strength and softness of urban women.
This role not only won the love of the audience, but also brought Tong Yao a higher honor - Magnolia Best Actress Award. This award is the best praise for Tong Yao's efforts over the years.
After that, Tong Yao performed well in works such as "Rebel", "Transcendence" and "Home of the Heart". Especially in "Home of the Heart", she successfully portrayed the role of Gu Qingyu and showed her increasingly mature acting skills.

16 years have passed. Tong Yao, the former victim, has now become a leader in the entertainment industry, with a bumper harvest in career and love. And the former perpetrator Zhang Mo has become a bleak figure in the long river of time.
Tong Yao's success stems not only from her unremitting efforts, but also from the favor of opportunities. She was not crushed by the haze of the past, but chose to face it bravely and continue to break through herself in her acting career.
From being hidden in the snow to becoming the winner of the Magnolia Award, Tong Yao used practical actions to interpret what it means to "search for thousands of waters, although it is hard, blowing all the wild sand to gold".

As she said in her acceptance speech, "I never thought that something so beautiful could happen to me......". This sentence is precisely the best interpretation of her 16 years of struggle.
Tong Yao's success is not only a personal victory, but also a beautiful interpretation of life. Her story will forever inspire those who seek light in the darkness.
