Love is a positive fruit
Zhou Lijing and Fu Chunying met in a song and dance troupe in the early 70s. At that time, Zhou Lijing and Fu Chunying, who were only in their early 20s, were both young actors in the troupe.
They met because of their common artistic pursuits, and because of each other's talent and charm.
In those days, artists often had to travel and go on tour. This nature of work made the relationship between the two face the test of being in a different place from the beginning.
During the ten years they were together, they each developed their careers in different cities, and they could only maintain their relationship through letters and occasional meetings.
This long-term separation was a major test for the relationship between the two, but they finally managed to get through it with each other's trust and persistence.
Ten years of long-distance relationship has made the relationship between the two deeper. In 1983, Zhou Lijing's acting career began to improve, and the two finally decided to enter the palace of marriage.
This year, Zhou Lijing was 33 years old, and Fu Chunying was also 31 years old, which can be said to be a relatively late marriage age in the social background at that time.
But this time-tested relationship is more stable than many young couples.
In 1984, Zhou Lijing and Fu Chunying ushered in the crystallization of their love, and the arrival of their daughter Xiao Jinjin brought more joy and warmth to the family.
Fu Chunying devoted most of her energy to raising her daughter. She takes care of her daughter's growth, and at the same time does not forget to support her husband's career.
In 1986, Fu Chunying's life ushered in new changes. She moved to Beijing through a job transfer, which allowed the family to finally be reunited.
At that time, surrounded by happiness, none of them thought that a crisis was brewing.
The wife was killed and was hit hard
In 1994, Zhou Lijing's career was on the rise, and the family's financial situation had improved significantly.
In order to provide a better living environment for his family, Zhou Lijing decided to buy a new house. However, in the process of choosing a house, the couple had a disagreement.
Zhou Lijing prefers to choose a house with a better location but a slightly smaller area, while Fu Chunying prefers to buy a house with a larger area so that she can provide a better space for her daughter to grow.
This disagreement sparked a heated quarrel. During the quarrel, both sides said some angry words, and Zhou Lijing ran away from home in a rage.
No one expected that this ordinary husband and wife quarrel would become the last communication between them.
On the night Zhou Lijing left home, a shocking tragedy occurred.
Fu Chunying was killed at home, and when the police arrived at the scene, they found Fu Chunying lying in a pool of blood, and the scene was a mess, with obvious traces of a fight.
An investigation was immediately initiated. Since Zhou Lijing was the last person to meet Fu Chunying, and the two had quarrels, he naturally became the focus of the police investigation.
The police questioned Zhou Lijing for a long time, trying to restore the situation on the night of the crime.
At the same time, they did not let go of other possible clues, conducted a detailed investigation of the crime scene, and visited nearby neighbors.
During the investigation, Zhou Lijing was under tremendous psychological pressure. On the one hand, it is the grief of losing his beloved wife, and on the other hand, it is the torment of being suspected of being a murderer.
The investigation lasted for several months, during which the police were at an impasse after several twists and turns.
But Skynet was magnificent, negligent but not leaky, and soon an unexpected clue surfaced.
Shortly before the incident, Zhou Lijing and his wife had just hired a worker to renovate their new house.
During his work, the worker visited Zhou Lijing's home several times. The police followed this clue and launched an investigation, and soon found something suspicious.
After further investigation, the police finally determined that the murderer was the renovation worker.
During the renovation, the worker found that Zhou Lijing had a lot of valuables in his home. On the night of the crime, he took advantage of Zhou Lijing's absence to sneak into the detention center with the intention of stealing.
Unexpectedly, Fu Chunying was discovered on the spot, and in order to cover up the crime, he took risks and committed this appalling homicide.
The moment the truth was revealed, Zhou Lijing seemed to wake up from a nightmare.
However, the fact of losing a beloved wife cannot be changed. This tragedy not only took Fu Chunying's life, but also brought irreparable pain to Zhou Lijing and his daughter.
After this incident, Zhou Lijing's life fell into an unprecedented trough, and he had to face all kinds of doubts, self-blame and huge changes in his life.
Self-blame and grief have brought Zhou Lijing's life to a low point. He began to become depressed, no longer cared about the outside world, and even lost interest in the acting career he once loved.
He began to drink heavily, trying to use alcohol to numb his nerves and escape the pain of reality.
This state of decadence lasted for quite some time, and friends and colleagues around him were worried about him.
In this case, Zhou Lijing made an important decision: to take a break from his acting career.
This decision shocked everyone, you know, that time was the peak of Zhou Lijing's career.
Give up your career to accompany your daughter
Zhou Lijing's acting career began in the early 80s, when China was in the early stages of reform and opening up, and the cultural sector ushered in unprecedented prosperity.
In this context, Zhou Lijing quickly stood out among many new generation actors with his unique temperament and excellent acting skills.
His claim to fame was the 1984 TV series "Garland on the Mountain". In this work, Zhou Lijing plays the protagonist Zhao Mengsheng.
This character is a complex and layered character, from an educated youth who longs to return to the city, to a warrior who gradually realizes the importance of his family and country.
Zhou Lijing has successfully created an impressive image through his delicate performances.
The role of Zhao Mengsheng not only made Zhou Lijing famous in one fell swoop, but also established his status in the entertainment industry.
The success of "Garland on the Mountain" opened the door to Zhou Lijing's career. Subsequently, he starred in a number of excellent works one after another, each of which won unanimous praise from the audience and the industry.
These works not only consolidated Zhou Lijing's status as an actor, but also further honed and improved his acting skills.
His popularity was so high that he could be said to be second to none among the male actors at the time. Whether it's on the streets or after a meal, Kyoto is a topic of conversation during the week.
At the peak of his career, Zhou Lijing can be said to be proud. He is not only an idol in the hearts of the audience, but also a recognized powerful actor in the industry.
His works often become sensations as soon as they are broadcast, and the ratings have reached new highs.
After the death of his wife, he politely declined all invitations to perform and chose to temporarily withdraw from the public eye.
The blow of losing her mother is just as huge for her young daughter, Zhou Jinjin. Looking at her daughter's pain, Zhou Lijing realized that she had to cheer up.
He began to devote all his energy to taking care of his daughter.
The process is not easy. As a person who was once taken care of by his wife, Zhou Lijing needs to learn how to take care of the housework and how to take care of the children from scratch.
He often felt frustrated because he didn't know what to do, but for the sake of his daughter, he persevered.
Gradually, he began to adapt to this new way of life and found a new meaning in life while taking care of his daughter.
In the days of focusing on taking care of his daughter, Zhou Lijing gradually came out of the haze of sadness.
He strives to create a warm family environment for his daughter, hoping to make up for the loss of her mother. In the process, the relationship between father and daughter has become deeper and deeper.
Zhou Lijing often said that it was his daughter who gave him the courage to face life again.
Start a new life
After a years-long trough, Zhou Lijing's life finally ushered in a turnaround.
At that time, although Zhou Lijing had faded out of the entertainment industry, he still occasionally participated in some public welfare activities.
In a public welfare activity, he met Zhang Wei, and the two had initial contact in the activity, and then gradually became familiar with each other because of some work cooperation.
After a period of getting along, the relationship between the two deepened day by day.
Zhou Lijing found that Zhang Wei was also very friendly to his daughter Zhou Jinjin, and often took the initiative to take care of this little girl who lost her mother.
Seeing that Zhang Wei and his daughter got along well, the last trace of concern in Zhou Lijing's heart was also eliminated.
In 1999, about two years after knowing Zhang Wei, Zhou Lijing made the decision to remarry.
The wedding was held in a low-key manner, with only a few friends and family invited.
After marriage, Zhang Wei was well aware of the sensitivity of the role of stepmother, and she did not try to replace Zhou Jinjin's late mother, but cared for the little girl as a friend and big sister.
She often accompanied Zhou Jinjin to study and play, patiently listened to the little girl's thoughts, and slowly established a sense of trust and closeness in Zhou Jinjin's heart.
Zhang Wei also took care of Zhou Lijing. She understands the pain that Zhou Lijing has experienced in the past, and always gives him the greatest support and understanding.
Whether in life or career, Zhang Wei has become Zhou Lijing's strongest backing. She encouraged Zhou to rededicate himself to acting and helped him find a balance between work and family.
Under Zhang Wei's careful care, this once traumatized family gradually regained happiness and warmth.
Zhou Lijing regained his confidence in life and began to replan his career. Not only did he return to the screen, but he also tried new fields such as directing, showing more diverse talents.
Zhou Jinjin also thrived in the warmth of his new family, with excellent academic performance and a cheerful and lively personality.
As time passed, the relationship between this reconstituted family became more and more harmonious.
Cherish the outlook on life in the present
With the growth of age and the richness of life experience, Zhou Lijing's personality has also undergone obvious changes.
He used to be high-spirited and passionate about his career, but after experiencing the ups and downs of life, he became more calm and introverted.
He no longer pursues the peak of his career, but pays more attention to the quality of life and peace of mind. This change in personality also affected his attitude towards work and life.
He accepted the invitation of the Beijing Film Academy and began teaching at the academy.
Although the main focus is on teaching, Zhou Lijing has not completely given up on his acting career.
He will still take on some roles that he is interested in, but the frequency of filming is greatly reduced. He began to try his hand at directing more than as an actor.
He often participates in some industry events, catches up with old friends, and meets many new faces. These interactions not only allowed him to keep abreast of the latest developments in the industry, but also provided him with rich material for his teaching work.
At this stage of life, Zhou Lijing has a deeper understanding of life. Although many years have passed, he still has not forgotten Fu Chunying.
Every year on Fu Chunying's death day, he would take his family to the cemetery to pay respects. This continuous nostalgia is not only a respect for the deceased, but also a cherishing of that past.
Zhou Lijing often said that it was that painful experience that made him more aware of the importance of cherishing the present.
Looking back on his life, Zhou Lijing has too many emotions. He has been through peaks and bottoms, but has finally found inner peace.
He often tells the people around him that the most important thing in life is not achievements and fame, but cherishing the people around him and cherishing every moment of the moment.
