1999 Zhang Yimou and Chen Ting met because of an audition for a hostess, when Chen Ting was nineteen and Zhang Yimou was fifty. After the two confirmed their relationship, they began a "secret love" for ten years.

A year later, Chen Ting, who was only 19 years old, became pregnant. As a college student at that time, she made a "dangerous decision", that is, to withdraw her students and children.

From Chen Ting's point of view, Zhang Yimou attaches great importance to this relationship, because he has seriously discussed with himself about getting married and having children, and this attitude has also made her identify with this man who is nearly 30 years older than herself.

In this way, they kept it a secret for ten years. During these ten years, Chen Ting played the role of a good wife and mother. In 2004, she had another son. Two years later, she gave birth to her little daughter Zhang Yijiao.

Although she has no birthright, she is willing to silently support Zhang Yimou and raise her children well.

His eldest son, like his father, is very talented in movies. He won three awards for best photography, best film in youth group and best film in film festival at the Asian International Youth Film Festival with a micro film "Over there".

The youngest daughter, like her mother, dances ballet very well and has published a picture book.

It was not until ten years later that Zhang Yimou got married as Chen Ting wished, and the gambling game that lasted for ten years finally came to an end. Although the couple were legally married, Zhang Yimou remained silent about it.

Later, because of the exposure of the super-life incident, Chen Ting and his three children who had been hidden behind the scenes of Zhang Yimou for more than ten years were pulled out, and Chen Ting entered the public's field of vision.

Her Weibo began to call herself Zhang Yimou's wife, and the Weibo Certification Office added the words Zhang Yimou's wife.

In fact, before Chen Ting, Zhang Yimou had two relationships. One is with his ex-wife Xiao Hua, and the other is the heroine Gong Li.

Zhang Yimou and Xiao Hua met when they jumped the queue in the countryside. Two young people living in a cave gradually developed a spark of love.

After "jumping the queue", the two were assigned to different factories. Although they are far apart, this has not stopped their passionate love.

Xiaohua went to Zhang Yimou to wash his clothes and cook for him when he was free. Zhang Yimou was ill, and she took good care of each other until she recovered.

1978, they held a simple wedding. 1983, they had a daughter Zhang Mo.

Despite having children, it didn't stop the marriage from breaking up. The reason for this ending is said to be related to Gong Li.

A book published in Xiao Hua pointed out that her marriage with Zhang Yimou broke up because of the intervention of an outsider, and that person was Gong Li.

According to Xiao Hua, one day in 1987, she dug out a letter in her husband Zhang Yimou's pocket, which was full of her love for her husband and signed by Gong Li.

The words in the letter stung Xiaohua, and the couple started the cold war because of this letter. And then all sorts of things aggravated the estrangement between them, until Zhang Yimou said, "The combination of my wife and I was a misunderstanding when I jumped the queue", which declared the complete breakdown of this marriage.

After Red Sorghum won the Golden Bear Award, Zhang Yimou and Xiao Hua had the last talk. At that time, despite the pressure of public opinion, Zhang Yimou decided to divorce.

He said that if Xiao Hua didn't let go, he would rather leave his hometown and wander around the world. Seeing that her former lover was so determined, Xiaohua finally got cold feet and gave up this ten-year marriage.

After the divorce, Zhang Yimou's mother still treated Xiao Hua as her daughter and advised her to meet another lover and start a family. But I don't know if she still has feelings for her ex-husband, or if she hasn't met someone. Today, Xiao Hua is still alone.

Over the years, Zhang Yimou has been financially supporting his ex-wife, and he will also remind his friends of the days when he jumped the queue in the countryside, saying that he would return to that "village" to support his old age. And the "village" he misses is exactly where they once fell in love.

After divorcing his ex-wife, 1989, it was reported that Zhang Yimou and Gong Li were in love. But when their relationship developed to the eighth year, it ended in breaking up.

It is said that when they were in love, the relationship between their daughters Zhang Mo and Gong Li was not harmonious, which led Zhang Yimou, who paid attention to her daughter's feelings, to hesitate to get married.

And Gong Li once calculated her fate, and the other party said that she would get married before the age of 30, so when she reached marriageable age, she repeatedly expressed her desire to marry Zhang Yimou, but she was repeatedly rejected.

Zhang Yimou said: It's just a marriage certificate, so why care so much.

Gong Li gave up this relationship because of an unwanted engagement. After breaking up, she had a flash marriage with Huang Hexiang. That year, she was just thirty years old.

At a later film conference, Zhang Yimou mentioned that he made a wish fourteen years ago that Gong Li must play the role of queen. Now this wish has finally come true, and Gong Li, who was also at the meeting, was in tears.

After the two broke up, Gong Li shed tears three times in public, all of which were related to Zhang Yimou.

Once, someone asked me if they would cooperate in the future. Once, I heard her wish 14 years ago. For the last time, I hugged Zhang Mo at the press conference, which made her eyes red.

There are indications that they gave each other strong love, but in the end they could not compete with reality. They did fall in love, but it was inappropriate.

For Zhang Yimou, a wife should be a "wife". In his view, Gong Li will not give up his career for himself and his family and stay at home with his wife and children.

Her career will have a broader stage, but she is not her ideal wife, so they are not suitable for marriage. This may be the reason why he finally chose Chen Ting.

It can be seen from Zhang Yimou's interview that both his parents and himself want to have many children. Parents think their children can have more companions. Gong Li may not be able to do this, but Chen Ting can.

After being with Zhang Yimou, Chen Ting did this. She is a qualified wife.

Chen Ting can "win" Gong Li, not only because she can be a husband and wife, but also because of her own style. The teacher who once taught Chen Ting to dance said that she was a good dancer and an excellent student.

According to the photos revealed on the Internet, although Chen Ting's appearance is not outstanding, his overall temperament is gentle and generous, and he has a kind of classical beauty, which also coincides with Zhang Yimou's consistent aesthetic.

Unlike some housewives, Chen Ting knows how to improve herself while taking care of her family. After giving birth to the second child, she went to graduate school and got a yoga certificate.

In her spare time, she will also read books, cultivate her hobbies, taste tea and cultivate some artistic cells.

The other is to accompany the children and not interfere with the husband's career. So, over the years, Zhang Yimou can wander freely outside, but he has three meals to wait at home, and the children are all around his knees.

When the children grow up, the focus gradually returns to the family, and the couple spend more and more time together. Chen Ting once revealed that as long as her husband said he would go home at night, he would definitely stay until he got home to sleep peacefully.

After the public affair, the two often share the sweetness of life together. Some media even photographed Zhang Yimou shopping with Chen Ting for many times, helping her with her bag, and still waiting patiently, just like ordinary couples.

In fact, Chen Ting's statement of "winning" Gong Li is not accurate, because they are two different life states. A girl can be a good wife and mother, or a career queen. As long as she follows her heart and finds the most comfortable state, she is the winner in life.

Once an insider broke the news, saying that every time Chen Ting gave birth to a child, Zhang Yimou would reward her with tens of millions. As for the reason why it has been favored for so many years, it is speculated that it is because of "passing on the family."

Because before Chen Ting, Zhang Yimou and Xiao Hua had only one daughter, and he had been looking forward to having a son. After all, in Zhang Yimou's era, "boys represent the continuation of family incense".

Later, perhaps God also blessed Chen Ting and gave birth to a woman and a man for Zhang Yimou, which completely stabilized her position in Zhang Yimou's heart.

Whether this rumor is true or not, at least Zhang Yimou loves Chen Ting very much now, and is willing to spend a lot of money to buy her a mansion and give her huge pocket money every month.

Now they have been together for more than 20 years. They are very happy and loving. They have three meals and four seasons, and they just want to be together for life.
