In 1985, Gong Li entered the Central Academy of Drama of China after three exams. Two years later, she got her first lead role in the movie Red Sorghum. This is also the directorial debut of Zhang Yimou. This work won more than 10 domestic and international awards, helping Zhang Yimou's name to be among the most talented directors in Chinese-language cinema.

During filming, Zhang Yimou and Gong Li fell in love. At that time, the director surnamed Truong had a wife and children in his hometown, and Gong Li also had a boyfriend. Xiao Hua, the wife of director Zhang Yimou at that time, once shared in Chinese media that on an October afternoon in 1987, she accidentally discovered a letter Gong Li sent to her husband.

In her autobiography published in 1992, Tieu Hoa confided: "The afternoon of October 23, 1987, is the afternoon forever imprinted in my memory. That love letter from Gong Li completely knocked me down."

Tieu Hoa said that that afternoon, after Zhang Yimou came home from work, as usual, she collected her husband's dirty clothes to wash, and found a letter in the bag. Fearing that her husband's important papers, she decided to open them and read them. Right from the first line, Tieu Hoa was almost dumbfounded when she learned that this was Gong Li's love letter to her husband, with the words "I left and took your heart with me".

She choked: "It's been many years, I can't remember the exact content of the letter. However, there is a sentence that is always bold in my mind that is Gong Li expressing his desire to marry Yimou. She wrote: I want to get married. I hope you give me an answer soon. Hope God will give us happiness. I still remember the image of you lying in my arms. We talk. We still have many things to do, many things that have not been revealed to each other.... After reading those words, my heart is broken."

In the letter, Gong Li also revealed that she was beaten by her boyfriend at school after learning about their relationship. The school is also investigating the incident. After that, Zhang Yimou left his wife and young daughter to come to Gong Li. Worth mentioning, Zhang Yimou and Ms. Tieu Hoa have been married since they were both still in the countryside. After that, Zhang Yimou packed his clothes and went to the city to study at the Beijing Film Academy. She was the director's first love and decided to stick with her boyfriend for the rest of his life when he was still a teenager without money. Tieu Hoa was also the one who urged Zhang Yimou to pursue the director's path when he saw her husband's superior talent.

After Zhang Yimou and Gong Li on the main road came together, the male director was heavily criticized by public opinion, and Gong Loi was also known as a minor three for many years. Not only Zhang Yimou's ex-wife but even his daughter hates Gong Li to the bone. Many years later, when writing memoirs, Truong Mo still reproached: "Because of Gong Li, my childhood lacked the simple joys like other children. Later, my father could live with anyone, just anyone. need is not Gong Li".

Despite the surrounding noise, despite the objections of people, Gong Loi and Zhang Yimou are still together. They continuously produce works that up to now are still considered classics of Chinese cinema such as: Ju Dou (the first Chinese film to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film), Lantern. red hanging high, Thu Cuc sues, Must live, Shanghai Triad...

The names of Zhang Yimou and Gong Li have gone beyond China, becoming the stars of world cinema. However, fame is not the biggest concern of the actress. In a 1990 interview, Cung Loi expressed his desire to become Zhang Yimou's wife. She said: "The time has come when I don't care about acting, but just want to go back to my husband's house, be a good wife and be a good wife."

Along with Loi also openly expressed her desire to get married before the age of 35 and give the director the surname Truong 4 children. However, in response to Gong Li's desire, only Zhang Yimou's silence. In a media conversation in 2001, Gong Li's mother said that her daughter repeatedly mentioned marriage but was rejected. The actress's brother even went to the set to ask Zhang Yimou about marriage plans, but the director coldly replied, "I don't think about it."

Having endured so much bitterness, disagreement and contempt, in the end, what Gong Loi received was just the harsh rejection of his lover. During the eight years together, Gong Li did not receive a marriage proposal from the man she loved despite everything. There was no other way, the movie star Cuc Dau had to leave.

After breaking up with Zhang Yimou, Gong Li married a Singaporean billionaire. She is extremely secretive in this relationship. After more than a decade of being together, the two broke up. Currently, Gong Li is with famous French musician Jean-Michel Jarre, 72 years old. The couple is praised by many as a beautiful couple, despite the age difference and cultural difference.
