The idol drama “Meteor Garden” starring her was born and quickly became popular in Asia. In the play, Shancai played by her is stubborn and kind, not afraid of power, and dares to confront the domineering F4 on campus, and contributes a lot of classic lines.
When he came out for his friend, Shancai scolded Daoming Temple angrily: “You are self-righteous, pretending to be very great, what are you doing F4, you are in groups at school, you do a lot of evil, you are basically a pig’s head four, and you will only hide under your father’s parasite.” You have never made money yourself, and you have not contributed to society, why are you here to show off your power and say big things! ”

Lin Chiling, Wu Zongxian, Chen Jianzhou and Fan Weiqi couple, Jia Jingwen and many other artists also mourned Big S through various channels.People are like characters: free and easy, dare to love and hate
Da S’s life, just like the Shancai she interpreted, is free and easy, brave and strong.
In the face of love and family, she dares to love and hate, and still smiles at life after suffering. In 2010, Da S and Wang Xiaofei knew each other for less than a month, and decided to enter the marriage hall, and later faced the risk of childbirth due to advanced age and epilepsy, but they still bravely gave birth to children. However, the ten-year marriage came to an end in 2021. After the divorce, in the property entanglement and war of words with her ex-husband, Da S still tried his best to maintain decency, saying “I hope Xiaofei will always live better than me”.
Just when everyone thought that Da S was trapped by emotional wounds, less than half a year after the divorce, she opened the script of reuniting with her old love. After 20 years of separation from her ex-boyfriend, South Korean artist Gu Junye, she completed the registration of her transnational marriage with just a video call and sending documents. After remarrying, Da S and Gu Junye have revealed their happiness to the outside world many times. In a few days, Big S would have been able to usher in the third anniversary of his remarriage.
In an interview with the program “A Date with Luyu” many years ago, Da S once said frankly: “My sisters feel that my feelings are vigorous, but I ended it categorically. During the existence of the last marriage, Da S also said in other video interviews that he was not worried that his other half would like others: “If he (referring to his ex-husband Wang Xiaofei) wants to do something, I will never stop him or control him.” How can you change what his heart likes? I told him: If you fall in love with someone else, you can tell me generously, and I won’t pester you. ”
In terms of personal life and values, she once called on young people to cherish life on the show, and also actively spoke out on Weibo, encouraging herself and her fans: “I must find myself again, you too” “Cherish everything around you, be brave to love, brave to break through, and enjoy life.” ”
Big S used to be an idol heroine, a beauty king, an expert in bringing goods, and a frequent visitor to gossip. Over the years, the private life of the big S family, from the growth story to the twists and turns of marriage and love, has been actively or passively “exposed” to the public. ‘s high-profile style makes her controversial and supportive. But there is no doubt that Big S has broken through the atmosphere of the entertainment industry that advocates weak women, and created the era of idol dramas and female comedians with freedom, freshness, casualness, and freedom.
Siren has gone, and her life has really become the “weed” Shancai that cannot be defeated in “Meteor Garden”.
