recently, "emperor father" zhang tielin, who had not been seen for a long time, was met by netizens in japan. he was accompanied by his girlfriend, singer liu yuwan, who has been with him for 10 years.

as we all know, although the man has excellent acting skills and has created many classic screen images, his private life has always been questioned.

although he once said in an interview that his love life was "pretty clean."

but in fact, it is rumored that zhang tielin prefers beautiful women and has been a romantic man throughout his life.

he has been in the industry for more than 40 years and has been in nearly 10 relationships. his partners were either young actresses or amateur goddesses. he also gave birth to two illegitimate children, but they were not acknowledged by him...

however, since he met and fell in love with the singer liu yuwan ten years ago, zhang tielin has not been involved in any other scandals, as if he had washed away his worldly desires and turned over a new leaf.

1. shen danping's first boyfriend

in 1957, zhang tielin was born in an ordinary family in tangshan, hebei. his father was a genuine farmer who worked in the fields all his life; his mother was a peasant woman, so the family was extremely poor.

but he was born with thick eyebrows and big eyes and was extremely handsome, so he was very "romantic" in his youth and had constant luck with women.

at the age of 17, he went to the countryside to work. a few years later, he returned to the city and worked as a porter. during this period, he also tasted the sweetness of love early.

but zhang tielin never wanted to live a life of poverty and hard work like his parents, so he studied hard, hoping that one day he could change his destiny with knowledge.

he happened to be in a special era and the college entrance examination was resumed, so he seized the opportunity.

due to his poor basic knowledge of cultural subjects and handsome appearance,zhang tielini applied for beijing film academy, but the process was not smooth.

he was quickly rejected in the initial test because he had no experience. however, he did not give up. he used his connections to find a teacher at the xi'an film studio and got a chance to take the test again.

in this way, zhang tielin was able to enter the performance department of beijing film academy, andzhang fengyi、shen danpingand other future actors were enrolled in a class.

here, he quickly felt at home and won the favor of many girls with his high emotional intelligence and outstanding appearance, including the "class beauty" shen danping.

it is said that zhang tielin married a beautiful girl when he was in his sophomore year.

the girl is three years younger than him and is from nanjing. although her parents are ordinary people, they pay special attention to her training. because of her beautiful appearance, shen danping was successfully admitted to the beijing film academy and later became a first-line "flower girl".

the same year they established a romantic relationship, they both started their acting careers.

zhang tielin was chosen to play the male lead gu minghua in the tv series "there is a young man", thus making his debut successfully; shen danping played the female lead in the movie "lily", and also entered the entertainment industry.

they were all very excited at the time, and even took out half a month's food allowance from each other and had a big meal to celebrate.

but the girl didn't know at the time that her boyfriend would leave her soon after entering the industry.

during the filming of there is a young man, zhang tielin and actress fang shu were rumored to have an affair. the woman debuted as a child star and had earlier played the role of "little radish head" brilliantly in forever in flames.

in the same year, she was admitted to beijing film academy together with shen danping and zhang tielin, and made her debut successfully with "there is a young man".

although the two did not have any deeper interactions in the future, this incident still cast a shadow on shen danping's feelings.

fortunately, at this time she had already made her mark with the movie "the corner forgotten by love" and her career had taken a turn for the better.

in 1981, shen danping also starred in the movie "night shanghai" with her boyfriend zhang tielin. she also attracted huge attention with this film and was praised by the outside world as "a shining star."

time passed quickly and after they graduated, the woman was assigned to work at the beijing film studio, while zhang tielin was assigned to the tianjin broadcasting art troupe - from then on, the couple in love began to live apart.

their relationship came to an end soon after, and after that, shen danping quickly married the german wu wei despite her parents' opposition - it can be seen that she was deeply hurt in this relationship.

however, zhang tielin was not affected at all, and he was accompanied by more beauties.

2. british “big names”

in 1984, zhang tielin met actress gong xue while filming the movie "under the bridge" and played the roles of a young couple.

the woman was known as "the most beautiful woman in the 1980s", which naturally attracted zhang tielin's attention.

soongong xueshe "surrendered" under the man's passionate pursuit, and as the filming of the work was completed, they got together.

however, this relationship soon came to a bitter end because the woman was suddenly involved in a social case, which led to the destruction of both her career and relationship, leaving behind a lot of sighs.

it was the beginning of 1986, and an explosive news suddenly appeared in shanghai - two men were sentenced to death for rape.

according to their account, among the women who were abused was the famous star gong xue.

once this incident happened, regardless of whether it was true or not, in that era, her career plummeted overnight, and her love with zhang tielin also ended in an instant.

helpless, gong xue went to the united states.

zhang tielin's relationship continued. it is said that after that he met a third-generation hong actor named deng xing, and used his deep background and resources to pave the way for his own acting career.

it’s a pity that the two did not end up together. the man also chose to study in the uk shortly afterwards, and his career came to a halt.

it is said that after arriving in the uk, he quickly sorted out his thoughts and believed that obtaining a green card quickly was the only way to guarantee his future, so he began to think about marrying a "foreign wife".

in 1987, zhang tielin successfully pursued a polish girl named allen. the two got married and gave birth to a daughter a few years later, naming her "moon".

in the same year he got married, he got the british green card as he wished and found a job as an assistant director in the local film and television industry.

at the same time, zhang tielin also obtained a master's degree. he can be said to be a winner in life with both love and career.

but the marriage only lasted until 1992 before it fell apart, after which he often returned to china to make money.

especially around 1990, he went to hong kong and starred in many martial arts movies, but they did not make a splash.

seeing the booming development of the mainland film industry, zhang tielin could no longer sit still.

but soon after returning to china, he faced more doubts, but also opportunities.

in 1997, after returning to china, zhang tielin actually announced that he had become a british citizen, which caused an uproar.

faced with doubts, he defended himself by saying: "joining british citizenship makes it easier to do things for china."

in the same year, zhang tielin was involved in another scandal - during the filming of "female inspector", he met actress hou junjie, who was 23 years younger than him.

the woman also graduated from beijing film academy and is a classmate of xu jinglei. she was selected by zhang yimou and almost played the role of an hong in "if you are the one". later, she became well-known to the public for her role in the tv series "the sequel to yang guifei".

she was also very beautiful, which immediately attracted zhang tielin's attention - he did the same thing again and launched a passionate pursuit of her.

early 20shou junjieshe was touched by the sudden pursuit and thought that the man was "mature, polite, and especially gentlemanly"...

after the two got together, she even gave up her rising career, which caused many relatives and friends to be confused, including xu jinglei.

but it is said that a woman in love has zero iq. perhaps hou junjie is like this. not only did she give up her own career, she also started to worry about her boyfriend's career.

it is said that it was with her help that zhang tielin got the role in "my fair princess"script.

3.2 illegitimate children but refused to acknowledge them

during the filming of the work, hou junjie was willing to cook for zhang tielin and take care of his daily life.

unexpectedly, a few months later, she felt unwell and went to see a doctor, only to find out that she was already more than three months pregnant. faced with the sudden birth of a little life, zhang tielin thought for a moment and responded: "then give birth to the baby."

it is reported that the man was very considerate throughout the entire delivery process, which made hou junjie feel unexpectedly relieved and actively look forward to his future life.

in 1999, she gave birth to a daughter without getting married and named her "nan nan".

in the same year, "my fair princess" was a hit and became a phenomenal tv drama, which also made zhang tielin's career completely popular again.

as a result, he suddenly became busy with work, constantly going out for activities and announcements, and his pay also increased rapidly.

during this process, hou junjie mentioned marriage several times, but zhang tielin evaded the question by saying he was busy.

until 2000, at a party, the man, who was already successful in his career, suddenly complained about his girlfriend publicly: "she is just after my money and my fame!"

as a former insider of the circle, hou junjie soon heard these rumors and chose to leave in anger.

zhang tielin had no intention of redeeming the relationship. instead, he soon became involved in an affair with an actress named fatma yaqi during filming.

the woman is 25 years younger than him, graduated from the pla art academy, has a pure appearance, and has acted in works such as "youth on the move" and "young justice bao".

the two met while filming the ancient costume business drama "the medicine king of qing dynasty" in 2000, and soon after they naturally began living together.

on the other hand, zhang tielin, who had an unclear relationship with hou junjie, stopped paying child support for his daughter. the other party had no choice but to take him to court, but withdrew the lawsuit a year later.

when interviewed, she simply said that she was "afraid of affecting her child's life."

however, the story of zhang tielin and yaqi did not last long and ended in nothing.

during this period, he once again reached the peak of his career with the role of qianlong in "iron teeth and bronze teeth ji xiaolan".

the following year, zhang tielin accidentally met zi xiaomin, an amateur girl who was only 20 years old and studying at university. as expected, he pursued her with all his heart and soon won her heart.

it is said that after learning that the other party was pregnant soon after, zhang tielin uttered the famous "quote":

"why can't you young girls touch it? if you do, there will be problems!"

but the woman still insisted on giving birth to the child even though she gave up her studies. when zhang tielin saw that zi xiaomin gave birth to a boy, he became interested again.

it is said that he broke into the other party's house alone late at night one day and tried to take the child away by force. he even fought with her and caused the woman to have a car accident, leaving her with a level 9 disability.

in 2013, zhang tielin's ex-girlfriend hou junjie wanted to send her daughter, who was in her senior year of high school, to study abroad, but the passport required the signature of the child's father.

she had no choice but to contact her ex again, but he mocked her: "am i the father of your daughter?"

hou junjie could no longer tolerate it, so in 2015 he joined forces with zi xiaomin to sue zhang tielin in court.

but although the result was gratifying, the lives of two beautiful girls who once had bright prospects were ruined.

however, in the same year of the lawsuit, zhang tielin revealed his new relationship.

the woman's name is liu yuwan, she is also a talented woman who can sing and act. she was previously married to a coal boss. it is reported that she received hundreds of millions of properties when she divorced and is very powerful.

after that, the man became quiet and stopped filming.

it wasn't until 2022 that he released a new work. this year, he co-starred in "old guy" with the "iron triangle" zhang guoli and wang gang.

even now, he was spotted by netizens still with the woman, which also shocked the outside world: "this relationship has lasted for 10 years?"

yes, looking at zhang tielin’s legendary acting career and emotional journey, one can’t help but wonder who liu yuwan is that allowed her to completely tie down that “bad guy and playboy”?

all i can say is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and right and wrong is in the heart of the person.
