1980, Xiang Huaqiang, 32, and Ding Pei, 33, ended their four-year short marriage.
Today, 42 years later, life in Xiang Huaqiang and Ding Pei is very different.
Xiang Huaqiang was born in 1948, and his father Qianjin was a formidable figure.
I once participated in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and was later appreciated by Dai Li, and entered the military system, from the official to the Major General of the National Government.
Later, I went deep into Hong Kong to work as a spy. In order to better carry out espionage work, he founded the gang organization Xinyi 'an in Hong Kong.
As the head of Xinyi 'an, Qianjin has both fame and fortune in Hong Kong and is known as the "Kowloon Emperor".
With status and money, he actively moved forward and spread branches and leaves to his family. He married four wives and gave birth to 13 children. Xiang Huaqiang was born by the third wife.
But Xiang Huaqiang was always bullied by his family when he was a child, because he was too busy moving forward, and his third wife was weak.
Being bullied a lot, Xiang Huaqiang was determined to get ahead from an early age.
Therefore, when he grew up, he chose to enter the entertainment circle. He wants to be a big star.
1973, 25-year-old Xiang Huaqiang officially entered the entertainment circle, and collaborated with Chen and Chen in the film "Dragon and Tiger Local Snakes".
A year later, Xiang Huaqiang and Ding Pei met in the movie Hard Proof.
Before they met, Ding Pei's life changed greatly.
Ding Pei, formerly known as Tang Meili, was born in 1947 and moved to Taiwan Province with his family at the age of/kloc-0.
Ding Pei has a good family background. Her uncle is the famous Zhang Xueliang, her grandfather Bao Yulin is the director of the Beiping police station in the warlord era, and her father is a doctor.
Born in such a family, Ding Pei ate well since childhood. She loves sports and dances well, especially her brother. She dances very well. She was once called "brother and girl".
When Ding Pei grew up, she became beautiful, and in the case of karma, she entered the show business.
1962, Ding Pei entered the first mid-term film actor training class, and after graduation, he played a supporting role in some films.
Five years later, Ding Pei went to Hong Kong for development through Pan Lei's introduction and joined Shaw's film work.
As soon as he joined Shaw Pictures, Ding Pei made the film Purple Shell and took a sexy route.
After working hard at Shaw for five years, the movie Call Girl starring Ding Pei achieved a double harvest at the box office and word of mouth with 1972, and Ding Pei became a famous "Y star".
It was also in this year that Ding Pei met the man who changed her life.
This man is Kung Fu superstar Bruce Lee.
1972 On March 2 1 day, Bruce Lee celebrated his wife Linda's birthday at Kerry Hotel.
On the same day, Ding Pei appeared in Kerry Hotel.
In the lobby of the hotel, Ding Pei met the Bruce Lee family and Zou Wenhuai, the boss of Jiahe.
Zou Wenhuai and Ding Pei met. When Zou Wenhuai saw Ding Pei, he called Ding Pei and introduced Bruce Lee and Linda to her.
Out of courtesy, Bruce Lee and Ding Pei shook hands at that time.
With this grip, the story of Ding Pei and Bruce Lee began.
After that, Ding Pei and Bruce Lee met several times, and Ding Pei was conquered by Bruce Lee. She became the object of Bruce Lee's extramarital affair.
As a lover, she is very satisfied. She never expected to be Li Furen.
Many years later, she even said in an interview with the media: "Love is free. If Bruce Lee likes me and I don't like him, it would be silly. "
To Ding Pei's surprise, she and Bruce Lee only fell in love for one year, and Bruce Lee left her forever.
1973 On July 20th, before leaving home, Bruce Lee told his wife Linda that he would discuss the script of the movie Game of Death with Zou Wenhuai in the afternoon, and he would also meet and talk with the actors he planned to invite. Because it might be late, he told Linda not to wait for him to come home for dinner, so that she and the children could eat first.
With these words, Bruce Lee and Zou Wenhuai met first, and then they went to Ding Pei's home, because Ding Pei also played a role in the film.
On this day, Bruce Lee and Zou Wenhuai have been discussing the script of The Game of Death until 7 pm. After the speech, Zou Wenhuai first went to a Japanese restaurant near Ding Pei's home to meet the actor George Racine. On the other hand, Bruce Lee chose to rest at home in Ding Pei until Zou Wenhuai and George Racine talked about it.
After Zou Wenhuai left, Bruce Lee suddenly felt a headache. Ding Pei took out the painkiller and gave it to him. He also suggested that he go to his room and lie down for a while.
Bruce Lee accepted Ding Pei's suggestion. He went into Ding Pei's room to have a rest, while Ding Pei was watching TV in the living room.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Zou Wenhuai called to ask when they would arrive. Ding Pei opened the door and looked at Bruce Lee. When she found him still sleeping, she told Zou Wenhuai about it.
Zou Wenhuai a listen to, also didn't rush, he said let Bruce Lee sleep for a while.
To the surprise of Zou Wenhuai and Ding Pei, Bruce Lee still didn't wake up at 9 o'clock in the evening. Ding Pei realized that something had happened. He woke Bruce Lee, but Bruce Lee didn't.
This frightened Ding Pei. She immediately called Zou Wenhuai and Zou Wenhuai called the doctor. The doctor confirmed that Bruce Lee had no vital signs.
Subsequently, Zou Wenhuai informed Bruce Lee's wife Linda.
In order to maintain Bruce Lee's reputation, Zou Wenhuai asked Ding Pei, Linda and other insiders to speak in unison, claiming that Bruce Lee died at home.
However, the Hong Kong media did not believe their stories easily. After deep digging, Hong Kong media dug up the fact that Bruce Lee died in a boudoir in Ding Pei.
The extramarital affair between Ding Pei and Bruce Lee was made public, and public opinion was in an uproar.
After the relationship between Ding Pei and Bruce Lee was exposed, many people called her a "fox", others claimed that Ding Pei was responsible for Bruce Lee's death, and some even asked Ding Pei to commit suicide.
Under great pressure and pain, Ding Pei took a big M, which lasted for a year.
The consequences of inhaling m are very serious. Some of Ding Pei's cranial nerves were damaged, and she lost some memories. She was also diagnosed as schizophrenia by doctors.
Fortunately, a year later, Ding Pei suddenly woke up, gave up drug addiction and trained his brain to recover lost memories.
However, it was at this low point in her life that she met Xiang Huaqiang.
1974, in the process of continuous contact with Ding Pei, Xiang Huaqiang fell and he pursued Ding Pei.
In constant contact, Ding Pei found that Xiang Huaqiang had a good personality, knew kung fu and liked Bruce Lee. She was with him.
1976, they entered the marriage hall.
When interviewed by the media many years later, he was asked why he married Xiang Huaqiang. Ding Pei said bluntly, "Because I am in a painful environment, I need a safe haven, a backer and a home. This home is very necessary for me. "
After marriage, Ding Pei and Xiang Huaqiang had a daughter named Xiang Eternity.
At that time, Ding Pei often woke up in the middle of the night. She will put her finger in front of her husband and daughter's nose to see if they are still breathing.
After marriage, Ding Pei gradually faded out of the entertainment circle and converted to Buddhism. She began to fast and recite Buddha at home. She doesn't watch movies and TV, newspapers or listen to music.
When Ding Pei was studying Buddhism at home, Xiang Huaqiang realized that the actor's path was not suitable for him.
After careful consideration, he decided to turn to behind-the-scenes movies. He and his business brother hit it off with Watson and set up Yongsheng Film.
However, at that time, Hong Kong films declined, and Yongsheng films did not develop smoothly in Hong Kong. So Xiang Huaqiang decided to look for development opportunities in Taiwan Province Province.
After arriving in Taiwan Province Province, Xiang Huaqiang was fascinated by a beautiful woman at an activity.
The name of this beautiful woman is Chen Lan.
Chen Lan was born in Taiwan Province from 65438 to 0959, and her growing experience was quite bumpy.
At the age of six, Chen Lan got leukemia. If the bone marrow is not matched successfully, her life may have stopped at the age of 6.
When she was a teenager, her gambling mother wanted to sell her to a ballroom. In order to resist this fate, she chose to commit suicide, but she was finally saved.
After being rescued, Chen Lan still failed to escape the fate of being sold to a ballroom.
However, after a trip to the gate of hell, Chen Lan learned that she wanted to change her destiny and maintain her dignity, and she tried to leave the ballroom.
After leaving the ballroom, she took part in a model contest and embarked on the road of modeling with her outstanding face value and good figure.
When Xiang Huaqiang met her, she was already a supermodel in Taiwan Province Province.
As a supermodel, Chen Lan has many suitors, and the son of the richest man in Taiwan Province refused without hesitation.
But in the face of Xiang Huaqiang's pursuit, she fell.
At that time, Chen Lan's love for Xiang Huaqiang was restrained because she knew that Xiang Huaqiang was married.
She deliberately avoided Xiang Huaqiang because she thought they had no result.
But deep down, what she wants is to "do two things for Xiang Huaqiang."
To Chen Lan's surprise, when Xiang Huaqiang told Ding Pei his and her story, Ding Pei not only kept silent, but also offered to divorce.
1980, Ding Pei and Xiang Huaqiang ended their four-year short marriage.
Soon after, Chen Lan and Xiang Huaqiang entered the marriage hall.
Chen Lan and Xiang Huaqiang have two sons after marriage, named Jackie Chan and You Xiang respectively.
Chen Lan not only gave birth to two precious sons for Xiang Huaqiang, but also lowered himself to open a clothing store. She bought goods and sold them alone, just to earn some money to subsidize Xiang Huaqiang's business.
Finally, through the efforts of husband and wife, Xiang Huaqiang's career is getting better and better. 1992, they established Huaxing Film, and released classic films such as Gambler, Slimming Men and Women, The Roar of Lions, Zhong Wuyan, etc., which won the popularity of stars such as Sharla Cheung, Cecilia Cheung, Stephen Chow, Andy Lau, Jet Li, Chow Yun Fat and Jackie Chan.
Xiang Huaqiang has become a big shot in the Hong Kong film industry.
Whenever someone praises Xiang Huaqiang's successful career, Xiang Huaqiang always says that he owes it to his wife Chen Lan. He said, "My wife is a godmother and can do anything. It is my blessing to marry her. "
Chen Lan never regretted marrying Xiang Huaqiang. She was sick and fat, but Xiang Huaqiang didn't abandon her and praised her as cute. She was scolded by netizens on the Internet for some things. Xiang Huaqiang, who has always kept a low profile, will send long articles on the Internet to protect his wife.
In an interview with Lu Yu, when talking about Xiang Huaqiang, Chen Lan said emotionally: "I didn't waste my life myself. I didn't choose the wrong person. "
Today, after 42 years of marriage, Xiang Huaqiang and Chen Lan are still happy and loving, which makes the outside world very envious.
Their eldest son Jackie married actress Bi Hayden. In 2020, they had a daughter, and Xiang Huaqiang and Chen Lan had a granddaughter.
Now Xiang Huaqiang has a successful career, a happy marriage, children and grandchildren, and is a winner in life.
How is Ding Pei now?
Life in Ding Pei is very good now. After the divorce, Xiang Huaqiang gave her a lot of living expenses every month without interruption. She has a good relationship with Chen Lan, and Chen Lan regards her as her elder sister.
In an interview with the media, Ding Pei even confessed his gratitude to Xiang Huaqiang. She said: "I am really grateful to the teacher. He really helped me a lot."
Today, Ding Pei is still fasting and chanting Buddha. In an interview with the media, she also revealed the reason why she studied Buddhism, which she said was related to the Jeet Kune Do badge left by Bruce Lee.
The badge says: take the impossible as the law and the infinite as the limit.
Ding Pei thinks that this is Bruce Lee's intention to convey the message he hasn't had time to convey to the world through her and continue to carry forward his spirit.
It can be said that Ding Pei can't live without Bruce Lee.
When we look back on her marriage with Xiang Huaqiang, we will find that it is the best choice for her to divorce Xiang Huaqiang.
