"The Returned Daughter" was declared finished amid controversy. The story of the film is finished, but the stories of the actors are still circulating.
In this well-received work, which has turned around in two ways and caused countless curses, there is an actor who has attracted much attention.
She is Ding Jiali, a woman who is more controversial than "The Daughter Going Home", a legendary figure who was unruly in the first half of her life and redeemed in the second half of her life..

Ding Jiali was born in Northeast China in 1959. When she was born, she faced the first disaster in her life: her parents did not want to raise a daughter, so they planned to give her away.
In the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, under the bleak and extremely cold weather, a family of actors took pity on this poor girl who was born in the cold winter and adopted her home. Since then, Ding Jiali has had a family..

The adoptive parents treat Ding Jiali very well. Although the married life is ordinary, their parents will give her a new coat and meat to eat every winter.
The thoughts of her adoptive parents were very simple. They met her in winter, and the whole winter was her birthday, so they naturally wanted to have a better life.
Unfortunately, adoptive parents can only give Ding Jiali material satisfaction, but cannot give spiritual salvation .

Her adoptive parents are members of a cultural troupe. They are busy with performances and rarely go home, so they can only leave Ding Jiali to her grandmother.
The biggest problem for left-behind children is that no one gives them correct guidance when they reach the period of youth rebellion. Obviously, Ding Jiali also faced this crisis.
With busy parents and a demented grandmother, the adolescent Ding Jiali, under the "guidance" of her environment and classmates, embarked on the path of seeking freedom.

Ding Jiali doesn’t understand what true freedom is. She can only understand it based on the literal meaning of this word: the so-called freedom means doing whatever you want.
So, under the leadership of other classmates, the adolescent Ding Jiali became interested in colored discs..
This laid a profound foreshadowing for Ding Jiali’s subsequent misery in life.

I have watched these films for a long time, and coupled with the introduction of overseas movies at that time, many foreign works praised: freedom of love, freedom of marriage, freedom of life, freedom of emotional expression ... and other free ideas.
These thoughts have become Ding Jiali's dream pursuit, and under the baptism of these thoughts: Ding Jiali has a strong interest in matters between men and women.
With the completion of her study career, Ding Jiali inherited her adoptive parents' will: to become an actor in the theater.

While working in the theater, Ding Jiali and her colleague Hu Guangchuan fell in love, and the two soon became a couple.
During this process, Ding Jiali was very proactive and handed herself over without any fuss. In Ding Jiali’s words at the time: Girls abroad are doing this, why can’t I do ?
Such words made Hu Guangchuan unable to refute ~

was quite yearning for this kind of thing, and both of them had tasted the benefits for the first time, so naturally they became more and more interested.
However, Ding Jiali suddenly discovered one day that she seemed to be pregnant. She went to the hospital for a check-up and found that she was indeed pregnant.
This made Ding Jiali panic.

Ding Jiali clearly remembers that when she was in high school, a female classmate got pregnant and was expelled from the school, and her parents refused to recognize her.
Ding Jiali claims to be "in line with international standards" and always pursues freedom. However, the nature of that era was still conservative. The acceptance of unmarried pregnancy was almost zero, and Ding Jiali was no exception..

No matter what, the child could not stay, so Ding Jiali left Beijing and found a remote small clinic.
The treatment was carried out in the small clinic. Fortunately, the person who helped Ding Jiali perform the operation was a female doctor. She pitied Ding Jiali's experience and helped Ding Jiali perform the operation seriously, leaving no hidden disease .

However, Ding Jiali did not cherish the new life opportunity given to her by the female doctor. After recovering, Ding Jiali continued to let herself go .
What is even more outrageous is that when Ding Jiali was watching movies and TV shows, she saw a work in which a married woman had sex with her lover when her husband was not at home.
This made Ding Jiali see the light and exclaimed that there was such an operation. At this time, Ding Jiali's husband Hu Guangchuan was also on a business trip .

In order to seek excitement, Ding Jiali imitated the content of movies and television and began to look for a lover other than her husband..
She really found it. From then on, Ding Jiali embarked on what she called a "novel journey". When it was outrageous, she would take her lover back to her home.
This shocked Ding Jiali’s adoptive father and couldn’t understand. He asked her: Is this worthy of your husband??

Regarding her adoptive father’s sincere words, Ding Jiali’s answer was the same as before: What’s the point? Isn’t this the case abroad?
The same words, the same reasons, will naturally lead to the same ending: yes, Ding Jiali is pregnant again .
But her husband Hu Guangchuan was out of town, so it was clear who the pregnant woman was.

Ding Jiali panicked and hurriedly found her lover to solve the problem. However, she was ridiculed by her lover: You can do this with me, or you can do this with other men. Why do you say it's mine?
This made Ding Jiali dumbfounded. When she was with Hu Guangchuan, even though she was pregnant before marriage, Hu Guangchuan was responsible and could solve the problem. What should we do now?
I have no choice but to continue on the same path and give up on this child!

Goddess of luck will not patronize the same person twice, especially when the reason for the person's two falls is the same: The doctor who performed the surgery for the second time did not pity her, and after the operation was done hastily, he sent her back .
On the way back, Ding Jiali was so painful that she wanted to cry, but the more terrifying thing was yet to come.

On the second day of the operation, Ding Jiali received a work arrangement from her unit and needed to go out quickly to shoot a new movie. The filming location was still in the snow.
Ding Jiali's surgery was careless, and she went to film in the snow without taking a break. The consequences can be imagined: Ding Jiali suffered from pelvic inflammatory disease from then on.

In the years to come, whenever Ding Jiali encounters the slightest bit of cold, she will be in unbearable pain, and it will be difficult to survive without taking painkillers.
This can be regarded as the price Ding Jiali paid for her indulgence.
But Ding Jiali did not expect that such a price would not be enough to make up for her indulgence. She would still need to maintain it and pay a greater price .

After Ding Jiali returned home, she realized that Hu Guangchuan seemed to be a different person towards her, and he was indifferent to her. After careful questioning, she realized that her father had told Hu Guangchuan everything about her.
Hu Guangchuan was already disappointed with her and had great intentions of divorce!

Divorce, Ding Jiali does not panic. In the "Western concept of love" she pursues, divorce is the norm.
Ding Jiali panicked because she was pregnant again. If she got divorced at this time, what would happen to her child?
However, Ding Jiali was unwilling to keep her, and Hu Guangchuan could not accept it. Their marriage came to an abrupt end, and Ding Jiali gave birth to Hu Linna alone in the hospital.

Hu Linna is the greater price Ding Jiali paid for her indulgence in her youth.
Because Hu Guangchuan was disappointed and stayed away from the family, Ding Jiali had to run for life again. Hu Linna continued Ding Jiali's childhood life: staying at home and following her grandparents .

The left-behind children of Hu Linna's era had to experience a different life: in school, Hu Linna was laughed at and bullied by her classmates. She endured it silently and never told her family.
In this way, Hu Linna grew up with low self-esteem and timidity.

It wasn’t until many years after Ding Jiali’s new relationship collapsed that Hu Linna entered Ding Jiali’s life.
After the millennium, Ding Jiali's career reached its peak and she became a popular actress. At this time, a newcomer in the entertainment industry fell in love with her.
This new actor is more than 20 years younger than Ding Jiali, but Ding Jiali naively believes that her charm is still .

In order to help her little boyfriend get the upper hand, Ding Jiali did not hesitate to use all the resources at her disposal, and she even put down her dignity and knelt down to director Zhao Baogang in exchange for her little boyfriend's chance to become famous.
But after her boyfriend became famous, Ding Jiali realized that she was wrong, a big mistake. She had been wrong all these years.
The reason why Ding Jiali suddenly regretted it was that her boyfriend broke up with her after he became famous. She was very disbelieving and asked why, but the other party just replied calmly, "Do you think we are a good match?" .

At this time, Ding Jiali suddenly discovered: The indulgence and freedom she pursued in the first half of her life were so ridiculous.
After experiencing this relationship, Ding Jiali decided to return to her family, but found that her daughter was very alienated from her. Ding Jiali was puzzled. It was not until many years later that the mystery was solved..

In 2015, Hu Linna told her mother: I want to develop in the entertainment industry.
After seeing all the right and wrong and the ups and downs of human relationships in the entertainment industry, Ding Jiali wanted to refuse, but then she suddenly remembered: After her daughter was born, she had been drifting away and had given her daughter nothing..
Just like that, 56-year-old Ding Jiali took her daughter Hu Linna to the variety show stage of "I'm Not a Star". Here, Ding Jiali was hit again!

Hu Linna talked about all the hardships in her life on the stage. At this moment, Ding Jiali knew how hard her daughter's life had been..
After confiding, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, resolving years of grievances and returning to their original state.

Later, Ding Jiali fulfilled her daughter Hu Linna's dream of entering the entertainment industry, pulled off her old face, and helped Hu Linna get the opportunity to become an actress.
can be regarded as fulfilling my daughter’s little wish!

Summary:
The road of life is very long, and you will always encounter temptations of one kind or another. If you resist the temptation, you will move toward the light. On the contrary, you will not only know where you are going.
Ding Jiali's life is full of all kinds of misfortunes and sufferings, but after careful exploration, she found that these sufferings were all given by herself.
This is the price of pursuing freedom.
Of course, what Ding Jiali embraces is not true freedom. Real freedom does not mean doing whatever you want, but not doing anything you don’t want to do. Obviously, Ding Jiali went in the wrong direction, which led to the fact that at the age of 64, she is still single..
At the same time, her daughter Hu Linna was unlucky in life due to her parents' divorce and her mother's indulgence when she was young, so she was afraid of love and still did not believe in love at the age of 36..
Seriously, the mother’s debt has been repaid!
