Participating in the press conference to launch the film "Hoanh Thanh Thuc Thuc Thuc" on December 2, actress "Thuy Hu" Chu Da Mang (born in 1956) and his ex-wife He My Quyen quickly became a hot topic on social networks and ranked No. 1 on Weibo.
Because this is the first film project starring the actor after being exposed to the slander of having an affair and raising a wife and children for 30 years.
According to Ifeng, in the 1980s, at the Shanghai People's Arts Theater, Chu Da Mang and He My Quyen were considered the "reining copper pearls". In 1985, the two got married.
In the 5th year after getting married, He My Quyen became pregnant for the first time, but had an miscarriage due to a fall while practicing drama. Zhu Da Mang stayed in bed for 3 days and 3 nights. To help his wife overcome the psychological blackness, he proactively asked to study abroad to improve his acting ability and the trip lasted 2 years.
In 1994, He My Quyen became pregnant again at the age of 39. Zhu Da Mang refused all invitations to act in films, going to the market every morning at 5am to buy fresh food to cook for his wife, to the point that his colleagues in the group even teased him for showing off his wife like a princess. The day the child was born, he was overwhelmingly happy.
However, on the 20th day after her child was born, Zhu Da Mang suddenly proposed a divorce. Therefore, he was harshly criticized, saying that he was a money-making person, relied on his wife to become famous and then abandoned his wife and children, and there were even rumors that he had a new lover so he divorced.
Facing the wave of criticism, Zhu Da Mang chose to remain silent and left empty-handed. Friends advised him to hold a press conference to clarify the truth, but he only shook his head: "The bad things in the family should not be exposed. She also has to raise a child, she cannot be destroyed.
However, it is this silence that makes the public even more skeptical, to the point that when he became famous for his role as Lam Xung in the movie "Thuy Hu" (in 1996), the audience still did not forget to mock "it is a pity that humanity is not good". After that, his career declined rapidly, only receiving a few supporting roles.
Meanwhile, He My Quyen is loved by the public. When asked why the divorce was, the actress only gently said "fate is over", not blaming her ex-husband, but repeatedly mentioned the hardship of raising a child alone like carrying a high fever to the hospital at midnight, for a living and staying un sleepy for many days. The image of a resilient single mother helped her receive countless invitations to act in films, even becoming the Chairman of the Shanghai Literature and Arts Association.
In 2023, Chu Da Mang remarried. At this time, the past is being dug up. Some people, for the reason of attracting views, even fabricated that Chu Da Mang had an affair with a young model, even posting photos of his current wife online to attack him. Seeing his wife secretly wiping away her tears, Zhu Da Mang finally spoke up to refute: " Those words and rumors are completely untrue".
In addition, he brought more than 10 people to court to spread rumors and presented evidence including the appendix of the divorce agreement and the report on the appraisal of father-son relationships.
In early 2024, the court confirmed that Chu Da Mang and He My Quyen's son did not have a blood relationship, meaning he and his ex-wife "do not have children together". Accordingly, the accusations that Chu Da Mang had an affair and abandoned his wife and children were completely untrue, and those who spread the rumors had to publicly apologize and compensate.
Many years of incidents have seriously affected Chu Da Mang's career. It was only now that he gradually recovered his reputation and was recognized again on the path of acting.
Many people expressed their admiration for the actor's way of facing adversity and kept silent for many years to preserve his ex-wife's reputation before speaking the truth. Some netizens commented: "In the end, I was compensated after many years of being bitterly swallowed", "Awaying the accusation of adultery, abandoning wife and children", "This is truly the number one kind man"...
