One summer night in 1999.
The air is hot and dry, and the clouds in the sky are thick.
Xia Yu thought to herself, this is a good opportunity.
He ran to find Yuan Quan:
"Let's go to the Badaling Great Wall to enjoy the lanterns."
When we arrived at the Great Wall, it was already drizzling.
There was no one around, and everything was quiet.
They were hiding in the tower.
One person leaned against a wall, looking at each other and not speaking.
The raindrops gradually became denser.
Lightning struck with thunder.
After a while, Yuan Quan said:
"It's raining so hard, let's go back."
They drove back.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, pattering on the roof of the car.
I can’t see the road ahead at all.
"It's like sailing a ship."
Xia Yu simply stopped the car by the side of the road and looked at Yuan Quan:
"Let's not go to the Titanic either. , Let’s wait until the rain stops before leaving.”
Then he turned on the stereo and played music.
What was playing was "I'm A Little Bad Tonight" by Aaron Kwok.
"I'm a little bad tonight. I want you to be unable to escape, and I want you to owe me a lifelong debt of love..."
Outside the car, it was raining heavily and lightning was thundering.
The two people in the car looked at each other and played an ambiguous love song.
This operation really impressed Yuan Quan.
Not long after, they were officially together.
That year Yuan Quan was 22 years old and Xia Yu was 23 years old.
Xia Yu once said that she is a lucky person.
Whether it is winning the heart of a beautiful woman or being pushed to the pinnacle of honor.
At the age of 17, he starred in Jiang Wen's movie "Sunny Days".

At that time, Jiang Wen was advertised in newspapers across the country for casting.
There is only one requirement: to look like myself when I was younger.
Everyone came to Xia Yu’s father: Let Xia Yu try it!

When Jiang Wen saw Xia Yu, he patted his thigh, turned to Xia Yu’s father and said:
" "Old Qin, please go away, I will keep my son."
In this way, Xia Yu acted in her first movie in a daze.

No one expected that an ordinary high school student would become so famous.
Xia Yu won three Best Actor Awards for this film:
Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival, Best Actor at the Singapore Film Festival, and Best Actor at the Golden Horse Awards.
He thought, maybe I can eat this bowl of rice.
It happened that Tao Hong, who was in the same crew, was going to apply for the Chinese Opera, so he also applied.
Originally Xia Yu and Yuan Quan were incompatible with each other.
This thin volunteer letter brought their lives to a wonderful intersection.
In 1995, Xia Yu was admitted to the Chinese Opera.
He took the train from Shandong to Beijing carelessly.
At this time, Yuan Quan was still studying in the drama attached middle school.
It was still a year before they met.

Unlike Xia Yu, Yuan Quan can be said to have a "professional background."
When she was 11 years old, she was admitted to the Chinese Drama High School.
When she was young, she left her hometown and came to Beijing alone, where she studied Peking Opera performance for 7 years.
In 1996, Yuan Quan was also admitted to the Chinese Opera.
Together with Zhang Ziyi, Qin Hailu, Hu Jing, Mei Ting, Fu Jing and Zeng Li in the same year, they are also known as the "Seven Golden Flowers".

At the same time, she became Xia Yu's junior school girl.
The two met quickly in the small campus.
Twenty-five years later, Xia Yu still clearly remembers the scene when they first met.
That summer evening, he was playing basketball on the basketball court.
While dribbling, he wiped his sweat and inadvertently raised his head.
Then he froze in place.
A girl walked over from a distance.
She just took a shower.
Wearing a baggy T-shirt and carrying a washbasin under his arm.
Her hair was wet, and she was casually coiled on her head with clips.
Xia Yu looked at her blankly.
She was looking at him too.
"We just looked at each other for more than ten seconds."
In Xia Yu's eyes, this scene was frozen into a movie frame.
Until a classmate hit him with a ball: "What are you looking at!"
Xia Yu came to his senses.
"It's her, it's her."
He asked his friends to introduce him and find a way to ask Yuan Quan out.
Yuan Quan refused eight times out of ten.
He also persevered.
It wasn’t until they watched the lanterns on the Great Wall that night that their relationship finally made progress.
Later Xia Yu and Yuan Quan chatted.
He said with great interest: "We looked at each other for a long time!"
But Yuan Quan was puzzled.
She has no memory of this.
"Maybe I was just staring ahead in a daze."
Xia Yu didn't believe it and was very persistent.
"Her eyes are just looking at me."
Jin Xing once asked Xia Yu:
"There are so many beauties in Chinese dramas, why just watch them?" Going to Yuan Quan?"
He smiled innocently: "This is fate."
This little mistake on the basketball court made the two lock each other in the huge crowd.
Yuan Quan and Xia Yu collaborated on the movie "Waiting Alone"
At that time, many girls were trying to find ways to have sugar daddies.
But their feelings are extremely pure.
In summer, they like to sit in the shade of the trees beside the playground, each holding half a watermelon and eating it.
In their free time, they walked on campus together.
Hold hands and walk around in circles.
In the lush and staggered canopy, the chorus of insects is magnificent.
They are the most familiar audience.
Later Yuan Quan said many times that that time was the most beautiful.
Clean and pure.
Carefree.
A few years later, an accident occurred.
This strengthened the relationship between the two.
In 2003, Yuan Quan fell from the stage while rehearsing "The Orphan of Zhao".
Everyone cheered and gathered around.
She burst into tears from the pain and whispered:
"Don't, don't come over... My bones are broken."
The clavicle was comminutedly fractured.
Six steel nails and a steel bar were driven into his chest.
At that time, SARS was raging.
Everyone advised Xia Yu not to go to the hospital.
But he insisted on wearing a mask and delivering meals to Yuan Quan every day.
It lasted all night.
On the day of discharge, Xia Yu drove early to get ready.
Yuan Quan opened the car door and burst into laughter.
The car was filled with large, soft pillows.
Xia Yu scratched her head aside:
"I'm afraid that the bumpy drive will cause the wound to hurt..."

He sent Yuan Quan to his aunt's house for rest.
Under the care of Xia Yu and his family, Yuan Quan recovered quickly and returned to the stage.
They were so sweet then.
Always appear holding hands and looking happy.
Everyone felt that they would get married soon.
But twists and turns came one after another.
The first thing that spread was a strange phone call.
In November 2004, many people in the industry received a phone call.
The woman on the phone said conclusively:
"I am Yuan Quan, Xia Yu and I broke up."
Everyone was doubtful.
But the content of the call spread quickly.
The media followed up one after another: "Love is in crisis", "Facing a breakup"...
Yuan Quan and Xia Yu had no choice but to call the police.
Then come forward to clarify.
Not long after this farce subsided, something happened again.
In September 2006, Xia Yu and Fan Bingbing participated in an event together.
A "kissing photo" was taken.
Someone with good intentions ran to ask Yuan Quan what he thought.
She replied calmly:
"It's fake, it's just a misplacement. This is a manufactured scandal."
The paparazzi and the media failed to see them Fighting, feeling boring.
The scandal quickly dissipated.
Unexpectedly, five months later, Xia Yu would be involved in another scandal.
This time, Yuan Quan can no longer forgive.
In April 2007, Xia Yu and Gao Yuanyuan collaborated in the drama "Aventure".
Perhaps they were too involved in the drama, and the two also had an "affair" outside the drama.
When participating in the event, the two also behaved intimately.
Everyone looked at Yuan Quan.
Waiting for her response.
A few days later, Yuan Quan was a guest on the program "Quiet Distance".
The host asked a series of questions.
She answered with a polite smile.
Until the host asked: "Isn't this relationship quite hard?"
Yuan Quan suddenly collapsed.
Get up and leave.
When she left, she still smiled and faced the camera.
I ran backstage to wipe my tears silently.
After calming down for a while, Yuan Quan returned to the scene.
"No matter what the result is, it may not be what people imagined. But in our hearts, it has actually blossomed."
She also mentioned lightly that at home The lizard died.
The lizard was given to her by Xia Yu.
Not long ago, it grew old quietly at home.
Has their relationship reached its end just like the lizard?
No one knows.
Yuan Quan didn’t want to think about it.
A few days later, friends in the circle said that they had broken up.
The two met at the entrance of the theater and were strangers to each other.
Many people are not worthy of Yuan Quan.
But she never said a single bad word publicly.
And Xia Yu, after going round and round, finally chose to look back.
In October 2007, they were photographed kissing on the street and quietly reunited.
After that, Yuan Quan and Xia Yu never let go of each other's hands.
Marriage is also on the agenda.
In August 2009, they received their marriage certificate in a low-key manner.
On the day of receiving the certificate, they went back to the Chinese Theater to take wedding photos.
Wedding photos are particularly simple.
They wore simple white shirts and white skirts.
Yuan Quan only wore light makeup and no accessories.
What I held in my hand was not flowers, but a handful of weeds.
It took the two of them half an hour to finish filming, and then they went directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Weddings are more casual.
They invited their relatives to have dinner together.
This is considered a "wedding" ceremony.
Qin Hailu, a good friend of the two, burst out laughing when asked:
"They only invited one table, hahaha..."
Yuan Quan and Xia Rain doesn't care.
In the second year after marriage, her daughter Xia Haha was born.
Haha brings a soft bond.
But their lives have not changed much.
Yuan Quan is still on the stage of his beloved drama.
Yuan Quan and Huang Bo, Tuyuan drama "Alive"
When Yuan Quan is busy, Xia Yu takes care of the children at home.
Occasionally, I take on my favorite movies.
But more often than not, Xia Yu is "playing".
Magic.
Racing.
Skateboarding.
Calligraphy and painting.
Skiing.
Windsurfing.
Although he is obviously the actor, Xia Yu spends most of his time "not doing his job properly".
Yuan Quan never interfered.
She said: "I am his most loyal audience."
She watched with a smile as Xia Yu showed her various unique skills.
I will also take Haha to watch Xia Yu surfing.
Sometimes she would accompany Xia Yu on skiing.
When Xia Yu went to the snowfield, she was reading in the cafe next to her.
Yuan Quan accepted everything about Xia Yu.
The same is true for Xia Yu.
Drama is tiring and unprofitable.
But Yuan Quan prefers drama.
She doesn't participate in variety shows very much, and she only acts in movies and TV dramas.
Xia Yu said to her: "It's okay, just do what you want to do."
In the year of their marriage, Yuan Quan was busy acting in the drama "Jane Eyre".
She won the Plum Blossom Award for this play -
China's highest award for drama and performing arts.
This may be true understanding.
For them, marriage is not a bondage, but a way to share the scenery on the road side by side.
They have no requirements for each other, they just need to be themselves.
Yuan Quan doesn’t like publicity.
After being together for 22 years, they rarely showed affection.
But you can always find sugar in every corner.
On Yuan Quan’s birthday, Xia Yu secretly recorded a confession video.
"Dear classmate Yuan Quan, I wish you a happy birthday, I love you!"
On Xia Yu's birthday, Yuan Quan recorded a piano piece.
"Happy birthday to Mr. Xia."
Some time ago, the two rarely appeared together.
At the dinner table, Xia Yu performed magic tricks for everyone.
Yuan Quan looked at him with admiration.
His eyes were shining.
Smiling very happily.
This scene is so sweet that it explodes.
In front of Xia Yu, Yuan Quan seemed to be stuck in his girlhood.
Smiling brightly, young and shy.
In 2005, Yuan Quan and Xia Yu starred together in the movie "Shanghai Lemba".
They play a couple.
There is a scene within a scene at the end of the film.
Wanyu, played by Yuan Quan, and Achuan, played by Xia Yu, meet at Magpie Bridge.
Ah Chuan hesitated and said: "I can't give you a luxurious life, I'm afraid of delaying you."
Yuan Quan looked at Xia Yu and raised the corner of his mouth:
"The days without you are the delay of my life.
