"my biggest regret in life is that i became a mother at the age of 61."

perhaps song chunli will never understand in her lifetime why the "road to having a child" is so difficult when she has played the role of a mother countless times throughout her life.

song chunli has been in the film industry for more than 50 years and has dedicated her entire life to her work.

she is the empress dowager who plans and strategizes in "story of yanxi palace", the rude and barbaric mother who gives everything for her son in "inspectors general", and the domineering governor's wife in "the world".

but her life was full of twists and turns. she wanted to be a mother only after being a dink for more than 40 years, and became a mother at an age when she should have been a grandmother. what exactly has she experienced in her life?

the heroine who came from a poor family

when song chunli was a child, her family was relatively poor. her mother was an ordinary worker and the family lived a tight life.

so song chunli had a rather difficult life when she was a child. even eating was a problem for her family, let alone having new clothes to wear.

fortunately, song chunli's mother loved her very much. when she had no money to buy clothes, she took her old cotton-padded jackets and made them into clothes, trying to make them as beautiful and warm as possible.

for song chunli, her childhood was not rich.

but because of her mother's love, she became warm, and because of her mother's love, she became brave and independent.

in 1964, when song chunli was 13 years old, she joined the army as a soldier and began a life of traveling around the country with her mother's reluctance.

at that time, song chunli was brave and fearless.

she knew her mother's concern and reluctance to let her go, but she also knew that she was a wild goose and was destined to carve out a world of her own.

not long after song chunli joined the army, she was appreciated by her superiors. soon after, she was transferred to an art soldier and participated in some drama rehearsals. this was her first contact with acting.

"it was my first rehearsal, and i felt really inferior when i saw that everyone around me knew everything, but i knew nothing."

the inferiority complex that emerged in song chunli's heart made her secretly swear that one day she must become a professional actor and make everyone look at her with admiration.

with such a will, song chunli participated in her first screen work "the suffering heart" in 1979, and embarked on her acting career.

song chunli cherishes every performance opportunity she has. her acting skills are improving day by day. at the same time, a good relationship is quietly approaching her.

at that time, song chunli was already quite old, and by chance she met sun weixi, a professor at the conservatory of music.

sun weixi received a good education since childhood and became a teacher after graduation.

although he is not handsome, he looks very gentle with glasses, which forms a sharp contrast with song chunli's cheerful and bright personality.

they seem to be two completely different people, but they secretly fall in love with each other as they get along.

sun weixi admired song chunli's vigorous vitality, and song chunli admired sun weixi's calm attitude towards things. the two gradually came together and got married.

the two had a very good relationship after marriage and were a well-known loving couple in the circle. so why didn't they have children?

one decision, lifelong regret

when song chunli and sun weixi got married, her career was on the rise. she played many supporting roles and rarely played the leading female role.

so song chunli discussed with sun weixi about not having children for the time being and considering it again after her career became more stable. sun weixi also expressed her understanding and agreement.

however, not long after, song chunli unexpectedly became pregnant.

she was filming in another place when she found out, so she immediately called sun weixi to discuss what to do.

song chunli was happy and worried about the baby in her belly. after much hesitation, she decided to give up the child.

song chunli and sun weixi cried about their difficulties and expressed their desire to give up the child. sun weixi was silent for a long time and finally said that he supported all of song chunli's choices.

after getting her lover's consent, song chunli went to the hospital for surgery without delay, and returned to the crew to film shortly after the surgery.

song chunli has been very busy since then, winning many awards of all sizes. later, in order to make up for her shortcomings, she went to study at the beijing film academy.

“an actor’s ultimate battle is all about his or her foundation, so i’ve spent my entire life learning how to be a good actor.”

song chunli has a clear conscience about acting, but she has always felt guilty towards her husband.

because of filming over the years, the two have been living in different places.

but sun weixi never blamed her for being busy with work, nor did she hate her for choosing to give up a child.

so when sun weixi proposed to have a child, song chunli agreed, but having children also depends on fate.

song chunli and her husband had been preparing for pregnancy for a while, but there was no sign of pregnancy, so they went to the hospital for a check-up.

as a result, because song chunli did not recover well after the operation, she is now unable to get pregnant again.

when song chunli heard the news, she felt like she was struck by lightning. she cried every day and regretted her original choice and regretted not cherishing her child.

the couple later tried treatment and other methods of conceiving, but the results were not promising.

finally, sun weixi comforted song chunli, saying that what is destined to happen will eventually happen, and what is not destined to happen should not be forced.

for sun weixi, it would be better for this small family to have a child, but if not, there is no need to force it. he and song chunli just need to live a good life.

after hearing her husband's comfort, song chunli gradually came to terms with the matter, and the couple also accepted the fact that they had no children.

then why are people saying that song chunli actually has both a son and a daughter?

a different kind of "having both sons and daughters"

song chunli naturally had no biological children, but she adopted her nephew song chuyan, so she had a successor.

song chuyan is very handsome and he is also a soldier. song chunli loves this child very much, so she introduced him to the entertainment industry.

in 2006, song chunli also filmed "give me a reason to love" with song chuyan.

it is true that she personally brought him to debut, which shows that she loves this "son" very much.

in order to have both a son and a daughter, 61-year-old song chunli adopted a daughter. although she was unable to experience the happiness of giving birth to a life, the existence of her son and daughter gave her some comfort.

song chunli is now 73 years old. she seldom appears in films, but every performance she makes is a good one and she plays the role to perfection.

over the years, she has grown from a little-known actor to a national first-class actor. she has dedicated her best youth to this industry and has a clear conscience about acting.

so in her twilight years, song chunli focused more of her energy on accompanying her family and finally lived the ordinary life she wished.
