The hottest entertainment news in the past two days is undoubtedly the fact that Liang Jingru, who has always given people courage, admitted that she is divorced. Many other news parties may breathe a sigh of relief.
Because when a new hot spot comes out, the old one is quickly forgotten.
Among these people, there are probably Gillian and her Taiwanese doctor husband Lai Hongguo.
Her marriage has never been favored by the outside world, and last week there was news that her husband was teasing an internet celebrity behind her back.
Although the couple quickly denied it on Weibo , and netizens who broke the news also came out to apologize, the question "Is Gillian getting divorced" has undoubtedly become a "menstrual patch".
The couple's Weibo account has been deleted and has disappeared.
The latest development is that Gillian has posted photos showing affection.
However, the focus of today’s discussion is not Gillian, but another senior Hong Kong female star who is rarely mentioned—Gong Cien.
Gong Ci'en and Gillian both played the same role - Cheng Lingsu in Jin Yong's drama "Flying Fox in the Snow Mountain", Bai Yueguang, which many people can't forget.
Two versions of Cheng Lingsu
What they have in common is that they are all in the stage of dissolution of marriage or are considered to have problems in their marriage by the outside world. They are both siblings, and they are all in long-distance marriages between Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Gong Ci'en and her husband Lin Wei
Gong Ci'en's husband, the 50-year-old Taiwanese actor Lin Wei, was recently photographed on the streets of Taipei locking hands with a mature woman and kissing passionately in the street. It is reported that the woman is the same age as him and is a wealthy female CEO. The two of them have appeared at the same time selling products.

Lin Wei responded: "Actually, Gong Zai and I have been separated for 2 years, and the children are grown. Now that I am back (Taiwan), I will not look back (Hong Kong). "
As for whether he and Gong Ci'en are divorced? Lin Wei put it very bluntly: "I want to use time to deal with it." He meant that the divorce was completed through a long separation.
Gong Ci'en responded through her agent, saying that because the two parties have been separated for a long time, their different roots and different life circles have gradually made both parties feel that they need their own space. The two have long been separated and are going through divorce procedures in a low-key manner.
"The children also understand and respect their decision! Sister Gong sincerely wishes Lin Wei a happy life."
- Recalling the dividing line between a generation of Xiangjiang beauties -
Gong Ci'en was born in 1963, her parents are Christians. Her name comes from the meaning of "mercy and grace". After graduating from middle school, she successfully won the selection of children's program host and entered the entertainment industry. In 1984, she participated in the first wireless artist recruitment class and made her debut.
The artist recruitment class started in 1984 is different from the familiar TVB artist training class. The training time is shortened from one year to three months. In the four phases of artist recruitment this year, there are Aaron Kwok, Shao Meiqi, Deng Cuiwen, Li Meixian, Chen Tingwei, Zhou Haimei, Xie Ning, Liu Meijuan, Ou Ruiwei, Guo Zhenghong, etc.
Some people have become kings and married young Internet celebrities in the new century. Some people have become famous very quickly and disappeared quickly. Some people have lost interest and quit the industry early. There are also people who were once stunning in Wutai Mountain but died miserably at home. I will elaborate on these different life encounters when I have time.
The era when Gong Ci'en debuted coincided with the era when TVB's various female stars were competing for their beauty. Costume beauties such as Weng Meiling , Zeng Huaqian , Li Meixian, Qi Meizhen , Xie Ning, Lan Jieying , and fashion dramas include young Maggie Cheung , Zhou Haimei, Carina Lau, , Shao Meiqi... In addition to these beauties of similar age, sister-level Wang Mingquan, Zheng Yuling were still active in front of the screen at that time.
Among the beauties, the fledgling Gong Ci'en is not so conspicuous, but she also has her own unique beauty.
Gong Ci'en does not have a charming and glamorous appearance, but her facial features are both heroic and delicate, making her very suitable for playing the role of a chivalrous woman in a costume drama. It is estimated that many middle-aged girls bought her stickers and put them on their pencil boxes when they were young.
TVB favored her quite a lot. In the year of her debut, she was cast in a major costume drama: "Chu Liuxiang: The Legend of the Bat" starring Miao Qiaowei, Weng Meiling and Simon Yam4. The following year, she starred in Chow Yun-fat and Guan Lijie starred in the TV series " Hong Kong " as the female lead.
Fat Brother , who is already TVB's number one actor, and the young but handsome Kwan Lijie, who is just starting out, are paired with the fledgling Gong Ci'en. After the show was aired, it immediately became popular in Hong Kong, and Gong Ci'en also took advantage of the opportunity to become one of the most popular actresses.
In 1986, Wireless gathered all the stars in Taiwan to put together " Yang Family General ". Looking at it today, this lineup is simply as good as the sky.
Ludong Binfa Ge, Yang Liulang Hua Zai, Yang Qilang Wei Zai, Yang Silang Miao Qiaowei, Yang Wulang Huang Rihua, Ba Xian Wang Tang Zhenye , Yang Erlang Wu Zhenyu, Han Xiangzi Wan Ziliang , Guanyin Bodhisattva Zhao Yazhi , Yang Sanniang Mao Shunyun ...TVB not only assembled the Five Tiger Generals to Summon the Dragon, but also secretly matched them: Yang Qiniang was paired with Zeng Huaqian and Wei Zai, Princess Liao was played by Qi Meizhen and Miao Qiaowei, and Gong Ci'en played Yang Siniang, who was also rumored to be fake with Huang Rihua because of this drama. Really do it.
Huang Rihua, the "old scalper" who has been working diligently in filming, has had few scandals since his debut. His girlfriend at the time, Liang Jiehua, was also a TVB actress.
It is said that he chose to break up with Liang Jiehua for Gong Ci'en, but after a year of dating, he separated from Gong Ci'en due to personality differences, and finally turned back to pursue Liang Jiehua.
Huang Rihua and Liang Jiehua
The old story of adulthood has changed. It is now difficult to tell whether the scandal between Huang Rihua and Gong Ci'en is true or false.
The final ending seen by outsiders is that Huang Rihua married Liang Jiehua in 1988 and have lived together ever since. After that, Gong Ci'en began to film in Taiwan, Malaysia and other regions.
Perhaps she did not expect at that time that she would meet the character most remembered by the audience in her life and her second husband in Taiwan.
- Let youth blow your long hair, let it lead your dreams -
In the memories of TV children born after 80, there should be such a scene: Hu Yidao wearing a fur hat and a white fur robe. Holding Bingxueer , we walked hand in hand through the thick snow in the snowy forest.
Do you hear in your ears, "Love in the snow, love in the snow, I walk alone in the snow~~~"
Different from the indoor martial arts dramas popular in Taiwan in the 1980s and 1990s, this film was filmed in 1991 "Flying Fox on the Snow" was shot in real locations such as Changbai Mountain in Jilin Province.
The majestic snow-capped mountains, the majestic forest sea, and the sky full of wind and snow give viewers who have seen too many rockery mountains, water, and valleys a whole new movie-watching experience, and it has become one of the biggest features of this drama.
Gong Cien plays two roles in the play - Hu Yidao's wife Bingxue'er and Cheng Lingsu, while Hu Yidao and his son are also played by Meng Fei .
Meng Fei, whose ancestral home is Shandong and grew up in Shanghai, firmly occupied the top spot among heroes in Taiwanese TV series in the 1980s. In the 1970s, he was an actor in Hong Kong's Shaw Brothers. Born in 1952, he and "Baby Sister" Pan Yingzi starred in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which became popular throughout Southeast Asia. Later, the two collaborated in many TV series such as "The Legend of Condor Heroes".
In 2007, the 55-year-old him and the 62-year-old Pan Yingzi attended the Taiwan TV Golden Bell Award Ceremony. The two were very energetic from their bodies to their temperaments. Adjectives such as "skilled in appearance and taking preservatives" may be specially made for them. Designed it.
In fact, Gong Ci'en's appearance does not match the setting of Cheng Lingsu in the original work, because Cheng Lingsu in the book is "as thin as a young girl, with a pretty face and only one pair of big and bright eyes", which is not the setting of a beautiful woman. Gong Ci'en, whose appearance is obviously beyond the standard, has a gentle and touching appearance in the play. This is also the most glorious moment in her life.
However, although Cheng Lingsu, who is proficient in poisons and ice-smart, is infatuated with Hu Fei in the play, his love has always been Yuan Ziyi played by Wu Yujuan.
Wu Yujuan, who comes from Leiyang, Hunan, graduated from the Department of Performance of Chinese Opera in 1989. She and her contemporaries Gong Li, Shi Ke, Chen Wei, and Jin Lili were known as the "Five Golden Flowers" of the "Chinese Opera". She doesn't have many film and television works, and Yuan Ziyi should be her most well-known role.
In fact, before Gong Ci'en, the role of Cheng Lingsu had been played by many Hong Kong actresses such as Wen Xueer, Huang Minyi, Dai Liangchun, Jing Daiyin, etc. Later, Reis Lee, Gillian, etc. also appeared.
But for most mainland audiences over the age of 30, this version of "Flying Fox in the Snow Mountain" (plus Flying Fox Gaiden) was the first one they came into contact with.
Therefore, when mentioning Cheng Lingsu, Gong Cien is most likely to be thought of. Even if you don't know her name, you will naturally think of her appearance in the play.
Gong Ci'en and Cheng Lingsu, beautiful and smart women met the most suitable roles, and they achieved each other's success, and they became eternal classics in the hearts of the audience.
————The dividing line that we walked hand in hand——
In this version of "Flying Fox in the Snow Mountain", there is another person who plays multiple roles - actor Lin Wei. In the play, he played the roles of Fu Kang'an, an important minister of the Qing court, and Chen Jialuo, the chief rudder of the Red Flower Club.
Lin Wei, who has always been considered Taiwanese, was actually born in Tianjin, and his mother is a descendant of the Zhenghuang Banner of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In the late 1980s, he was discovered by the famous Taiwanese producer "Agu" Zhou You and went to Taiwan Province to develop. The tall and handsome Lin Wei has appeared in many "Flower Series" TV series in Taiwan, and also played Zhan Zhao in a version of the movie "Five Rats in Tokyo".
Auntie, who is over 80 years old, has traveled a wonderful life. Her 70-year-old husband Li Chaoyong returned to her after cheating on her last year. The two held a wedding last year to celebrate their reunion, which was very lively on the island.
Lin Wei and Gong Ci'en fell in love with each other during the filming of "Flying Fox in the Snow Mountain" and dated for many years. It was not until 1999 that the two officially registered for marriage.
And this is Gong Cien's second marriage.
In 1990, Gong Ci'en married construction businessman Huo Zhenhua. However, after she returned to Hong Kong from filming abroad, she accidentally discovered that her husband had cheated on her, and she resolutely ended the marriage, which lasted only more than a year.
Lin Wei is three years younger than Gong Cien (it is also said that he is five years old). From the beginning of their acquaintance, the two have been in a state of "female is strong and male is weak". Gong Ci'en has the aura of a "Hong Kong star" in Taiwan, while Lin Wei is just a supporting role in his fledgling career.
During the few years they were dating, Gong Ci'en starred in many popular dramas such as " Snowflake Excalibur ", "Bao Qingtian", and the TVB version of " Journey to the West ".
In particular, the sadomasochistic relationship between Nie Xiaofeng and her master Luo Xuan in "Snowflake Excalibur" was very scene-stealing at the time. Gong Ci'en and Jiang Dawei 's limelight completely overshadowed the male and female protagonists Yuan Wenjie , Christine Yang and Chen Wei. Of course, the ending of the two people tortured the audience again, and Gong Ci'en also used this to make the show famous again.
After getting married, Lin Wei followed Gong Ci'en and returned to Hong Kong to settle down. Although he returned to Taiwan every year to film, he was always far away from Taiwan's production environment.
In addition, idol dramas suddenly became popular in Taiwan at the beginning of the 21st century. Many over-age male protagonists either painfully learned Taiwanese and acted in local dramas (such as Song Yimin ), or went to the mainland to re-open the market (such as Jiao Enjun). Lin Wei, who is also at an awkward age, has found it difficult to find dramas in which he can play the leading role.
After that, the two had a son and a daughter. After the children grew up, Gong Ci'en shifted his focus to his family. The main person who went out to film was Lin Wei, so he lived in Taiwan for a long time.
Friends who often watch Taiwanese variety shows must have seen many entertainment talk shows on Lin Wei or the two together.
In 2004, as Zhang Ting's friend and old partner, Lin Wei appeared on "The Coming of Kangxi" which was only aired for more than a year. He was asked by Tsai Kang Yong to act out a classic scene in " Sunflower " with little S.
The two reunited in 2015 and came to Kangxi.
However, for a long time, strong women and weak men have become the stereotype of the outside world. Moreover, Lin Wei's film and television works in recent years have been lacking in masterpieces and hits. He is undoubtedly very unwilling to be a man who always wants to prove himself.
If you are not as professional as your wife, then try to make money.
Lin Wei opened a photography studio in Shenzhen a few years ago. Firstly, it was his own interest, and secondly, he also wanted to prove his ability. Unfortunately, the photography studio never made any money.
On the other hand, although Gong Ci'en can only play the role of mother for a long time, there are still some good works coming out in recent years, such as the role of Sun Li's mother-in-law in "That Year the Flowers Bloomed and the Moon Was Full".
——Why are the dividing lines separated——
Obviously, after the passionate kissing photo was taken, Lin Wei was very reluctant to bear the title of "cheating man" and was unwilling to deal with it silently. He not only emphasized that they had been separated for two years, but also praised Xinhuan's female CEO. The focus was on telling the grievances and helplessness in this marriage, saying, ", this family no longer needs me, and I can't stay here any longer."
Gong Cien, who is in Hong Kong, posted a picture of blue sky and white clouds on IG, which was obviously calm and calm.
"I sighed! I also breathed a breath of fresh air! It was a long time ago, but we are all low-key people, so let everything be forgotten lightly! Let bygones be bygones! Heartfelt blessings!"
The two's eldest daughter, Lin Kailing, also expressed that she had long accepted her parents' separation, and expressed her acceptance and blessing for her father's new relationship.
Lin Kailing is a top student in the Department of Architecture at the University of Hong Kong. With her outstanding appearance, she had planned to be groomed into the entertainment industry by her mother early on.
In recent years, Gong Ci'en has often taken her to attend various events, and has also posted photos of Johnnie To, Louis Koo, and other industry figures celebrating her daughter's birthday. But in the activities attended by all these big guys, Lin Wei was nowhere to be seen. Perhaps as he said, "This family no longer needs me and I can't stay here any longer."
The speculation that Gong Cien is controlling has also been refuted by his daughter. Whether it is true or not is difficult to know.
Only in Lin Wei's previous interview, he mentioned that his wife would ask him to buy a house, invest, quit smoking, etc.
Maybe when you are in love, these are all signs that the other person is good at running a house. Not being in love may also be the reason for "taking too much care".
Moreover, Lin Wei has repeatedly emphasized in his external remarks that he feels "safe" with his current girlfriend.
What's interesting is that he also mentioned this word at a launch ceremony a few years ago, but the object at that time was a man - Taiwanese actor Zhang Chenguang , Gong Ci'en in "That Year of Flowers and the Full Moon" husband in.
Maybe, "a sense of security" is really what Lin Wei, who has left his hometown, been looking for.
left his hometown and went to Taiwan to work hard. Since then, Taiwan has become his second hometown. After marrying his wife, he went to live in Hong Kong, and then frequently traveled between Hong Kong and Taiwan for filming. In fact, the place he most wants to live permanently is Taiwan, but his wife and children want to stay in Hong Kong.
Deep down in his heart, what he needs is a sense of security and being needed.
He is constantly searching for a sense of security to make up for the panic and uneasiness of leaving a familiar city. Only by being needed by the family can his value be reflected. When he discovered that "this family no longer needs me," he naturally lost the value of his existence.
In the nearly 20 years of marriage between Gong Cien and Lin Wei, there has never been any news of his cheating, which is really rare in the entertainment industry.
But after a long period of time and space, an originally sincere relationship is no longer what it was before.
Outsiders naturally cannot see all the facts. But what can be seen from their few words is that in a sister-brother relationship where the strengths of both parties are not balanced, it is always difficult to maintain a long-distance marriage - even if the two parties have been together for many years, even if outsiders have long believed that they are not famous in the entertainment industry. Many imitate couples.
This kind of insecurity exists in many long-distance marriage relationships.
Whether one party gives up the original basis of life and goes to the other's city, or the two parties have been living in two places, this kind of insecurity always lingers.
And Gillian is almost a replica of Gong Ci'en's marriage. Sibling love, long-distance marriage, and compared to Lin Wei, Lai Hongguo is obviously much more restless. His last marriage collapsed due to his infidelity.
The prospect of Gillian's marriage is indeed not optimistic. It's no wonder that the onlookers have been too worried about it.
However, as Cheng Lingsu, they have already lived a comfortable life with their jobs. The worries of the onlookers are really unnecessary. After watching the excitement, they can just leave.
But if we can see something from the marriage relationship of celebrities, maybe it is the value of eating melon.
