As the former CCTV leader, Ni Ping's career can be said to be smooth sailing.
But love life is full of ups and downs.
She and her second husband Wang Wenlan met in the "abyss" and had a son.
But soon after marriage, his son was found to have a congenital disease, and Wang Wenlan also chose to divorce.
So, labels such as abandoning his wife and children, and being a negative man, he followed Wang Wenlan for 19 years.
For 19 years, he has never defended himself.
Is it true, or is there something else going on?
has been divorced from Ni Ping for 19 years, what kind of life is he living now?
01 A fateful encounter
In our eyes, Ni Ping is knowledgeable and dignified.
As long as she stands on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, there is always a sense of festivity of national peace and security.
Her talent is admirable.
can win the heart of such a talented woman, what is the origin of Wang Wenlan?
In terms of talent, Wang Wenlan is not inferior.
He was born in Beijing in 1953, and his parents both had formal jobs.
In addition to him, there are three sons in the family.
Whether it's in this day and age, or in the last century.
Learning photography is not something that ordinary families can afford.
But all of his four sons play photography, which is enough to see that his family is well-off.
The reason why Wang Wenlan is interested in photography is because his uncle Han Xuezhang is a senior photographer.
For as long as Wang Wenlan can remember, his uncle has always carried a camera with him.
Under the influence of his uncle, Wang Wenlan has been fond of photography since he was a child.
In 1968, 15-year-old Wang Wenlan went to rural Shanxi to join the team.
When he left home, he begged his parents and spent 8 yuan to buy his first camera.
Although life in the countryside is hard, he still enjoys it.
Whenever you have time, you take your camera with you.
When he was young, Wang Wenlan was burly and tall.
He joined the army in 1974 and became an honorable soldier.
During the army, there was exactly a vacancy for a photographer.
The leader learned that he liked photography very much, so he asked him to fill the vacant position.
During his time in the army, he often went to the front line of news and took many extremely valuable photos.
In 1980, Wang Wenlan obtained the qualification to change jobs and went to work at China Daily.
Under Wang Wenlan's lens, the photograph is no longer a lifeless static picture.
Rather, it is a dynamic proof that reflects social life.
He set his sights on the ordinary public and soon became famous in the industry.
In the sixth year of work, he won the title of "Top Ten Photojournalists in China".
Wang Wenlan is a bit of an "axis" person, and he spent almost all of his time in photography in the first half of his life.
Whenever someone introduces a girl, he always refuses for various reasons.
In this way, at the age of 42, he was still alone.
In 1995, the two people, who were originally unrelated to each other, had a fateful encounter.
02Hand in hand
In 1990, Ni Ping joined CCTV to work.
made a name for himself in the variety show "Variety Show".
and began to host the Spring Festival Gala the following year, Ni Ping's talent is destined not to be buried.
At work, she and Wang Wenlan met.
But at this time, Ni Ping had no intention of being in the wind and snow.
Because she is experiencing heart-rending pain.
In the eyes of outsiders, she is a glamorous CCTV host.
But fading away from the aura of the host, there are many bleak moments in her life.
When I was a child, my parents divorced, and I lived with my grandmother since I was a child.
When he grew up, he was admitted to Shandong Art Institute.
When she was in her hometown, she was married once and had a daughter.
Later, for unknown reasons, the first marriage ended in failure.
However, since then, Ni Ping's career has been advancing rapidly, and it can be regarded as not bright in the east and bright in the west.
After entering CCTV, she had a fairly warm relationship with comedian Guo Da.
It's just that Guo Da's parents disagreed, and the two had no choice but to break up.
A talented woman like Ni Ping also admires talented people from the bottom of her heart.
Chen Kaige is like this, and he walked into her life.
In 1991, Ni and Chen met at a party.
At that time, Chen was married, and his wife was Hong Huang, the daughter of a famous family.
But after many years of marriage, for various reasons, the marriage of the two has already existed in name only.
Chen Kaige met the gentle and intellectual Ni Ping, and his heart was moved.
After the end of the marriage, he walked with Ni Ping.
Ni Ping was impressed by the other party's talent and was willing to give everything.
Soon after the two confirmed their relationship, Ni Ping moved to each other's house.
Because of the lack of parental care since childhood, Ni Ping is essentially a person who lacks love.
People who lack love prefer to exchange their selfless love for the same level of love from others.
But this point is so difficult.
During the relationship, Ni Ping's own career did not fall.
Except for work hours, she puts all her energy into taking care of her boyfriend.
Laundry and cooking for him, massaging his back, doing everything he could for him.
In five years, in the eyes of outsiders, the two have long been husband and wife with a piece of paper.
In 1994, when Chen Kaige's father died.
Chen Kaige has a busy career, and his father is emotionally unstable after his death.
The aftermath is handled by his girlfriend.
Relatives and friends in my hometown have seen this girlfriend, and many people also believe that she is the daughter-in-law of the Chen family.
It's a pity that when you really don't make the right deal, it will be fatal.
In the process of work, Chen Kaige met a more stunning and charming Chen Hong.
The other party's youth and liveliness made Chen Kaige's calm life ripple.
Ni Ping's five years of dedication and dedication only came to Chen Hong's door with a big stomach to ask for fulfillment.
Chen Kaige avoided it, her heart was like ashes.
"It's a time of no self-esteem, no self-esteem."
Later, Ni Ping described those dark days in her autobiography "Days".
When Ni Ping was most painfully sinking, Wang Wenlan appeared.
After Xu Fan and Wang Zhiwen broke up, they met Feng Xiaogang at the most painful time.
"I was like an abandoned baby, he adopted my heart."
Although this sounds a bit exaggerated, Ni Ping was the same as Xu Fan at that time.
All met the light in life.
Wang Wenlan is introverted and calm, and he doesn't say a lot of beautiful things, but he does all the practical things.
Before, Ni Ping was taking the initiative to take care of others and giving everything.
But by Wang Wenlan's side, Ni Ping has always been the one who has been taken care of.
Of course, there was someone else who made her decide to get married.
Wang Wenlan knew that Ni Ping had lived with her grandmother since she was a child, and she had a deep relationship.
said that he would buy a piece of land in the suburbs of Tongzhou and build a courtyard house.
Let Ni Ping take her grandmother over and live with her.
This move made Ni Ping feel that it was this person.
In 1997, Ni Ping, who had been adrift for half her life, entered marriage again.
After marriage, the couple's small life was happy and uneventful.
Wang Wenlan likes photography, and Ni Ping is his model.
During the break, the two rode outdoors to take pictures together.
Enjoy the ordinary life.
Two years later, 40-year-old Ni Ping became pregnant.
This good news surprised and looked forward to the whole family.
She is already considered an advanced maternal age at this age, in order to ensure that there is no problem with the child.
During pregnancy, I don't miss a check-up.
Soon, a son was born, nicknamed "Huzi".
The world of two people has been upgraded to a family of three, which should have been happier.
Unexpectedly, the two came to the point of divorce.
03 One separate and two wide
When their son was almost one year old, the couple noticed that something was not quite right.
When he shakes something in front of his son's eyes, he always doesn't react.
So the couple hurriedly took their son to the hospital for examination.
The result is a congenital eye disease, and a layer of film grows on the outside of the eyeball.
If left unchecked, you will lose your vision completely before the age of five.
This news was like a thunderbolt from the blue, shattering this family that should have been happy.
But it has happened, and the only thing you can do as a parent is to treat your child.
This disease is also rare in China, and there is no good treatment.
Ni Ping asked people around and learned that there are relevant treatments abroad.
So I plan to leave my job and take my child abroad for treatment.
On the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in 1999, Ni Ping was full of spring breeze, and what she brought to the audience was still a festive look of national peace and security.
As everyone knows, her heart is extremely tormented.
After hosting the Spring Festival Gala, she took her son abroad.
So, what is Wang Wenlan doing?
Of course, it is to stay in the country to make money, and it is not a small amount of money for my son's illness to be treated.
Every time you go to the doctor, you need a lot of money.
Ni Ping has given up her job, and the couple always has to have one of them to earn money.
In a few years, Ni Ping took her mother abroad to take care of her son.
I often travel back and forth to work in China to earn money.
Wang Wenlan went to take care of his son whenever he had time.
As a father, he has never been absent.
Illness is painful for the patient, and even more difficult for the family.
In the past few years of their son's illness, the couple's spirits have not relaxed for a moment.
The exhaustion accumulated over the years eventually exploded completely because of differences of opinion.
After several years of treatment, the family's savings were almost spent.
Ni Ping wants to sell the house and do everything she can to treat her son.
But Wang Wenlan disagreed, he wanted to keep the house, in case it was not cured, his son's future life could be guaranteed.
In fact, both husband and wife are right, but one is based on the present and the other is based on the long-term.
But at that time, the pressure was too great for both of them.
So much so that this difference has evolved into an irreconcilable contradiction.
In 2005, the two chose to end their marriage.
As a bystander, we see Wang Wenlan when his son is sick.
abandoned his wife and divorced ruthlessly.
After the divorce, someone met Ni Ping who took her son to see a doctor abroad.
The face is haggard, and at first glance it is physically and mentally exhausted.
So Wang Wenlan was pushed to the forefront of public opinion, saying that he was a "negative man".
Back then, in order to chase Ni Ping, he was able to build a high-rise building on the ground, but now his son is sick and gone.
It's really a husband in vain, a father in vain.
But what about the facts?
After the divorce, Wang Wenlan spent most of his time in China, still to make money.
It's just that as a salaryman, the money he earns is still stretched.
But he sends money on time every month.
In his spare time, he went abroad to take care of his son.
Even though he was divorced, he always did his duty as a father.
In 2014, Huzi's illness was finally cured.
The doctor said that when it was time to get married, it would be enough to have a follow-up examination.
After the divorce, Ni Ping met director Yang Yaya and has formed a new family.
And Wang Wenlan has never started a family again.
In the early years, he was introduced to him, and he said that he wanted to save money for his son's treatment.
Now that others are introducing him, he said that he would save money for his son to start a family.
Now, at the age of 71, he has returned to the state he was in before he met Ni Ping, and he is accompanied by photography.
The difference is that now he has a son.
The son's relationship with him is still very close.
epilogue
Burdened with the infamy of "negative man" for 19 years, Wang Wenlan never explained.
He has always believed that things are done by people.
I don't need to explain anything, as long as my son is healthy.
Can you understand Wang Wenlan's approach?
