Chapter 6 Chapter 5 Young Actor Jumps the Metro with His Ex-Wife in His Arms
On August 26, 2008, the Beijing Changping District People's Court sentenced the young actor Xu Junben to 4 years in prison for intentional homicide.When he heard the news, Xu Junben lost his mind again and roared in court: "I'm not guilty! I'm not guilty! Why is the sentence so heavy!"
On the afternoon of January 12, 2008, on the platform of Longze Station of Beijing Metro Line 13 heading towards Xizhimen, a thrilling scene similar to a Hollywood blockbuster was being staged.When the high-speed train blew its whistle and came into the station, suddenly a pair of young men and women jumped off the platform with their arms in their arms and fell onto the rails. With the harsh sound of brakes, the train stopped abruptly just one meter away from the two of them.The young man stood up from the rails, climbed onto the platform and ran towards the exit, and was immediately surrounded by several policemen.The young woman who fell off the platform together was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses and cried out with a "wow".
It wasn't until he was arrested for intentional homicide that people learned that this young man was Xu Junben, a young actor who had played the main roles in "My Fair Princess" and "Xuanzang's Journey to the West".But he wasn't filming this time, the woman he jumped off the subway with his arms was his ex-wife.So, why did such a prosperous actor jump on the subway with his ex-wife in his arms under the eyes of everyone?After multiple interviews, the reporter was surprised to learn that Xu Junben and his wife were not only mixed with several women, but also had been entangled in their emotional life and money.And Xu Junben, a rural child who entered the film and television circle of the metropolis step by step from the countryside, has repeatedly escaped difficulties by committing suicide in a paranoid way under the pressure of many parties.
Paranoia can make people achieve career success in certain situations, but it is difficult to make life peaceful.Xu Junben's distress is that he still doesn't know how to deal with his multi-faceted life, why his paranoid encounters obstacles everywhere in his life, and he doesn't even know what kind of life experience he should gain from this case.
Xu Junben was born in Shuangmiao Township, Xiajin County, Shandong Province in November 1975. He has two older brothers and one older sister. The two older brothers are out-and-out farmers. Only the older sister left her hometown to work as the head of the Dezhou distribution station of a provincial newspaper. .
In 1990, Xu Jun, who only went to the second grade of junior high school, did not go to school after the summer vacation. Instead, he followed the villagers to work at a construction site in Jinan.He was doing high-intensity physical labor that a child of only fifteen or sixteen years old could not bear.Xu Jun was originally the youngest mason. He also became the target of teasing and bullying by the migrant workers in his spare time at the construction site where he relied on strength for his living.Although his heart was full of anger, he had no choice but to swallow his anger.The young Xu Junben only had one thought in his mind, that is to stand out and let the bullies see him.
In 1992, 17-year-old Xu Junben returned to his hometown Xiajin County to work as a security guard.During this period, he was commended by the local government for his bravery in rescuing children who fell into the water, and the media also vigorously publicized Xu Junben's deeds.But these did not change Xu Junben's fate. In 1994, he moved to a hotel in Tianjin as a security guard.In the tempering of hard life, Xu Junben has grown from a child on the Yellow River beach to a handsome young man with valiant posture after five years of leaving his hometown.
However, the idea of getting ahead has never been forgotten in the heart of this young man with little education.After arriving in Tianjin, Xu Junben found that not only did he not make much money just by standing guard for others, but he was still discriminated against.In order to seek a skill, Xu Junben fell in love with Peking Opera in his spare time. Whenever he had time, he would go to Tianjin No. 3 Peking Opera Troupe to watch and practice.After a long time, Xu Junben got to know a few martial arts students who practiced here, and they became good friends, and Xu Junben also learned some basic martial arts moves and Peking opera foundation from them.
These martial arts students who practiced martial arts came here to study as stand-ins. At the beginning of 1995, they received an invitation from a martial arts film crew to act as stand-ins. Before leaving, they asked Xu Junben if he would go with him.When Xu Jun heard that he was going to Beijing and filming a TV series, he agreed without even thinking about it.
Therefore, Xu Junben followed a few stuntmen to the crew that was filming in Beijing, and started his journey in the film and television industry.It takes courage for Xu Jun, who has not even graduated from junior high school, to pursue something that he is not sure of.Xu Junben's initial success came from his unremitting pursuit.
When he first arrived in Beijing to work as an extra, Xu Junben lived with a few stuntmen in an underground hotel renovated by a civil air defense project in Beijing.The basement is very damp, but as long as he can receive even a scene without a single line, Xu Jun will feel happy.Such a life is full of risks, but also full of excitement.In good times, I can earn thousands of yuan a month, but when there are no scenes to shoot, I can't make a penny.A young man who came out of the countryside with little education but worked in the entertainment industry, his choice must be accompanied by difficulties and loneliness, but he never doubted his choice.
When he first arrived in Beijing, apart from squatting at the gate of Beijing Film Studio all day waiting for an opportunity, Xu Junben just went to the crew to find the director to find a movie to shoot.As long as there is work to do, as long as it doesn't hurt his personality and dignity, he is willing to shoot even if there are minefields or even an abyss in front of him.He once acted in a grass-stage troupe, and he also ran back and forth between this crew and that crew, and he was often owed wages, and he had tasted all kinds of ups and downs.At this time, Xu Junben told himself: Hold on, as long as you hold on, you will win.
Beginning in 1995, Xu Junben followed the crew to Inner Mongolia, Yunnan and other places, and successfully became a stuntman.Because Xu Junben is sincere, down-to-earth and willing to work, he has the drive to work hard and perseverance, whenever others need Xu Junben during filming, just call "Xiao Xu, come and help me", and Xu Junben will help without complaint. He was busy with this and that, so he was quickly favored by various departments of the crew.Because of this, Xu Junben not only became a martial arts stuntman, but also worked as a photography assistant and lighting assistant.
In August 1997, "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" started filming. Xu Junben had been in the showbiz for more than two years at this time, and the opportunity finally came to him. He was selected as the actor of Shufangzhai Guard Gundam .Although this is only a small supporting role, it is enough to make Xu Junben very excited. "Han Zhu Ge Ge" caused a huge sensation at home and abroad after it was broadcast. While people remembered Little Swallow, they also remembered the brave guard Gundam by the way.Since then, Xu Junben has served as the number one male Master Xuanzang in the TV series "Xuanzang's Journey to the West". So far, Xu Junben has reached the pinnacle of his film and television career.
The stubborn Xu Junben could bear the grievances he suffered during the filming, but as a single man in the showbiz, what Xu Junben couldn't stand the most was loneliness.
In the eyes of outsiders, people in the entertainment industry are very mysterious. Not only do they frequently show their faces on the screen, but they also often call themselves brothers and sisters with some big stars, and earn a lot of money.However, Beidiao actors like Xu Junben, who are not even considered third-rate, can be found everywhere in the entertainment industry, and this kind of Beidiao family has no status at all. Although they are beautiful on the surface, they are lonely in their hearts.
In 1999, Xu Junben decided to find a wife for himself. Although there were many beauties in the film and television industry, Xu Junben knew that the arrogant beauties in the circle would not fall in love with him based on his own conditions, so he went to the marriage introduction very realistically. Registered solicitation for marriage.
Soon, under the arrangement of a dating agency, Xu Junben and Li Yuling met.Li Yuling is a girl from Northeast China with a bold personality. The two felt good about each other and soon lived together.They spent a sweet time together in Beijing, but in order to make ends meet, the two had to temporarily live in two places. Li Yuling went to work in Yinchuan, while Xu Junben remained in Beijing.
This kind of life of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl made Xu Jun feel very guilty. He thought that he had failed to bring a good life to his lover. In order to make up for his girlfriend and make more money, he looked around for opportunities to perform. .
In 2002, after Xu Junben finished filming a movie, he decided to go to Yinchuan to see Li Yuling.During the boring journey, Xu Junben had a good conversation with a girl in the same carriage, and when they got off the train, the two were reluctant to leave.Xu Junben left his phone number, and the girl left him a few books.Just as the two were saying goodbye on the platform, Li Yuling, who came to pick her up, had a panoramic view of the ambiguous scene in front of her.
Li Yuling felt aggrieved. Originally, the two of them felt insecure when they were separated in two places. Now that Xu Junben was so lingering with other women, it made her feel even more uncomfortable. The two had a big quarrel.One said he was innocent and had no other ideas.Is it wrong for one to say that he saw it with his own eyes?
The next day, after Li Yuling went to work, Xu Junben dug out her diary, which recorded Li Yuling's feeling of loneliness and his longing for him.Xu Junben was very touched. Although there were constant small conflicts in daily life, he had faced ups and downs with Li Yuling in the past few years. He felt that he loved Li Yuling very much, and his love would not make Li Yuling lonely.In order to prove his love for Li Yuling and prove that there is someone in this world who truly loves her, Xu Junben decided to commit suicide to show his determination.
Excited, Xu Junben found a kitchen knife in the kitchen, then gritted his teeth and cut his wrist cruelly, blood came out immediately.Seeing the bright red blood flowing down his wrist, Xu Junben was not afraid at all. He thought he was brave in the face of love.
When Li Yuling returned home, she was terrified by the scene in front of her. It took a long time to come back to her senses. She rushed to hug Xu Junben who was dying, and shouted hysterically: "Come on, help me!"
Xu Junben was sent to the Yinchuan 999 Emergency Center for treatment. He saved his life in time, but left a permanent scar on his wrist, which he thought was a sign of love.When Li Yuling learned that Xu Junben committed suicide just to show that he loved her, she was both moved and dumbfounded.
In 2002, Li Yuling was pregnant, and Xu Junben was still living in Beijing. At this time, Xu Junben turned to business related to film and television. He opened a film and television equipment company in Shahe Town, Changping District, mainly providing lighting and photographic equipment. With the network accumulated over the years, the company is not very prosperous, but it has received a lot of business.
In the second year, Li Yuling brought her daughter to Beijing and finally lived with Xu Junben. The two jointly ran a film and television equipment company. In 2006, Li Yuling gave birth to another daughter.Although Xu Junben had lived in big cities for many years, he still had the same old ideas in his mind. He only wanted a son, and when he saw Li Yuling gave birth to two daughters, he couldn't help complaining.
Xu Junben and Li Yuling have never registered their marriage, so both children are "black households". It was not until the end of 2006 that they went to Xu Junben's hometown in Shandong to register their marriage in order to register their two daughters.
Xu Jun thought that his personality was both tough and soft, but Li Yuling was completely "rigid", so the two of them had constant conflicts in their common life.There was a small quarrel in three days, and a big quarrel in five days. Quarrels became commonplace between the two, and the relationship seemed to fade away amidst the accumulated conflicts.
In February 2007, the two agreed to divorce, and Xu Junben gave the company to Li Yuling, including personal connections in the film and television industry, telephone and other contact information, and more than 1 million yuan in equipment.
In fact, it does not seem to be an exaggeration to call Xu Junben a "love species".When Xu Junben was in elementary school, he fell in love with a female classmate at the beginning of his love. In order to win the heart of this girl, he stayed by her side wholeheartedly for ten years. At the age of 18, Xu Junben finally touched the girl's heart with his infatuation, but what he didn't expect was that the girl's parents didn't agree with their daughter and Xu Junben on the grounds that this poor boy was not good enough for his precious daughter.Xu Junben was deeply shocked and disheartened. He gave all the money he earned from part-time jobs to the girl. He swallowed 99 tablets of Valium and slept for a day and a half before being rescued.After that, Xu Junben left his hometown and went out to work.However, more than ten years later, when Xu Junben returned home in fine clothes, he committed suicide again because of this first love.
One day at the end of 2002, Xu Junben was walking on the street in Beijing when a young girl stopped him and asked how to get to a nearby building.Xu Junben told the girl a lot of things, but the girl still looked at him blankly, so Xu Junben took the girl there by himself seeing that it was still early.We chatted on the way and found out that the girl's name is Zhao Xinying, she is from Guangxi, and she just came to Beijing to work in a company.Xu Jun knew that most of the Southern People's Congress had no concept of southeast and northwest, so he forgave her bewildered look.Zhao Xinying repeatedly thanked Xu Junben for his enthusiastic help.
When Zhao Xinying learned that Xu Jun was originally an actor and had acted as Gundam in "My Fair Princess", she was surprised and said, "Really! This is the first time I've seen an actor on TV, please sign for me." !" Seeing Zhao Xinying worshiping herself so much, Xu Junben's little vanity was greatly satisfied, and for the first time he felt that he was really a star.When parting, the two left each other on the phone.
Xu Jun was originally a very emotional person, but an emotional but paranoid person is destined to have more troubles in life than others. In 2006, Xu Jun planned to commit suicide three times.
In 2006, Xu Junben and Li Yuling quarreled over a trivial matter. Li Yuling ran away from home in anger, and Xu Junben didn't want to live anymore.He had heard that eating saccharin and eggs at the same time would kill him, so he ate both.But what he didn't expect was that it was rumors that saved him this time. He just had a stomachache and his life was not in danger at all.Of course, this time he was scolded by Li Yuling again.
At this time, Xu Junben had been dating Zhao Xinying for several years without Li Yuling behind his back, and Xu Junben himself was tired of dealing with the two women, but he was reluctant to give up either one.Just like white roses and red roses, both are thorns in the heart.So Xu Junben was always troubled by love and always wanted to commit suicide.
In June and July, Xu Junben left a suicide note with Zhao Xinying, intending to jump off a building at China World Trade Center.When he came to an unfinished 30-storey building next to the International Trade Center, he was kicked out by a worker.Afterwards, Xu Junben received a call from Zhao Xinying and Li Yuling. It turned out that after Zhao Xinying discovered the suicide note, she contacted Li Yuling regardless of taboos.
The extramarital affair between Xu Junben and Zhao Xinying surfaced.Li Yuling was furious, the relationship between Xu Junben and Li Yuling was even worse, and Xu Junben's mood became even more depressed.He couldn't deal with his own emotional affairs. After working hard in Beijing for many years, Xu Jun didn't make a close friend at all. He couldn't find a friend to advise him, and he didn't know what to do.
When filming, Xu Jun was not afraid of hardship or tiredness. He was interpreting other people's stories. Being immersed in that character in the play allowed him to temporarily escape from reality, but he didn't know how to proceed with his own story in life.
Soon, Xu Junben participated in "Life and Death Partner".After one project was completed, Xu Junben walked alone on the overpass in Beitaipingzhuang. Looking at the traffic and bustling crowds under the bridge, Xu Junben, who was deeply emotionally troubled, felt that it was meaningless to live like this, and he might as well die.
Xu Junben looked under the bridge in a daze, he felt as if he had turned into a butterfly, his beautiful wings were shining in the sun, he stretched out his wings, his body was very light, he wanted to fly.Suddenly, two hands tightly grabbed Butterfly's waist. Xu Jun came back to his senses in shock and found that he was being hugged by a person.A woman's voice rang in his ears: "Isn't this Xiao Xu? What are you doing? This is very dangerous!"
Xu Junben turned around and found that it was the famous actor Siqin Gaowa and a friend from another circle.Her friend was hugging her tightly, and Siqin Gaowa looked at him in surprise.Xu Junben didn't expect these two friends in the circle to save him. Seeing Xu Junben's depression, Siqin Gaowa didn't ask him too much why he couldn't think about it, but comforted Xu Junben with nice words.Under the persuasion of two enthusiastic friends, Xu Junben finally felt better.
In February 2007, after Xu Junben and Li Yuling divorced, the two still lived together. After all, it is difficult to put aside the relationship of so many years.Xu Junben's second brother's child has also been with Li Yuling, and Xu Junben's mother also lived with Li Yuling when she came to Beijing.Divorce is only a legal formality for them, but in fact they are still a family.
However, what Li Yuling did not expect was that in April 2007, Xu Junben married Zhao Xinying behind his back just after finishing the divorce procedures.Soon after the marriage, Zhao Xinying returned to Guangxi, and Xu Junben was still living with Li Yuling in Beijing.
In July 2007, when Li Yuling learned that Xu Junben and Zhao Xinying were married, she was very angry. Xu Junben was afraid that Li Yuling would really break up with her in a fit of anger, so she forged a divorce certificate and showed it to Li Yuling, saying that she married Zhao Xinying because she wanted a boy. of.Unexpectedly, the next day Li Yuling found out that the divorce certificate was fake, and war broke out between the two again.
In the end, Xu Junben signed an agreement with Li Yuling, stating that he would divorce Zhao Xinying two years later and remarry Li Yuling.During this period, Xu Junben was considered to be working for Li Yuling, and all the money she earned was handed over to Li Yuling. She gave Xu Junben 10,000 yuan a month, and Xu Junben took the money from the 10,000 yuan to Zhao Xinying.And Xu Jun's salary for filming is given by both wives.
After divorcing Li Yuling, Xu Junben opened a film and television equipment company. When the equipment was out of stock, he often took equipment from Li Yuling, and owed a total of 50,000 yuan. Li Yuling always suspected that he had taken too much equipment and did not pay, or that he had withdrawn too much money from the company. So the emotional conflict between the two was added to the economic dispute.
At around 4:30 p.m. on January 12, 2008, Xu Junben took a taxi to Li Yuling's company to pay back the money.Xu Jun originally owed Li Yuling 50,000 yuan, but he brought a check for 35,000 yuan, and he wanted Li Yuling to go with him to a friend to withdraw the remaining 15,000 yuan.Because this friend owed him more than 10,000 yuan in equipment fees and had not settled.
Li Yuling, Xu Junben and Li Yuling's cousin took their daughters to take a taxi from Changping to Metro Longze Station, planning to go to Xizhimen again.A group of people stood on the platform and waited for the train.In the cold weather, Li Yuling was very reluctant to come out, but she had to come out in order to recover the debt.Thinking of Xu Junben's constant confusion about money and women, Li Yuling became angry and began to criticize Xu Junben.
Xu Jun was upset when he heard that, so he couldn't help but move inside the warning yellow line on the platform. He stood on the edge of the platform and looked at the railroad tracks under his feet. He had an indescribable feeling.The more Li Yuling complained, the more angry Xu Jun was, so he quarreled with her a few words.At this time, a train just entered the station, Xu Junben looked at the oncoming train slowly, and then turned to look at Li Yuling who was chattering, feeling very irritable.So the people present witnessed the frightening scene described at the beginning of this article...
On the morning of May 20, 2008, Xu Junben was accused of intentional homicide by the public prosecution agency and appeared in court at the People's Court of Changping District, Beijing.
The public prosecution alleges that on the afternoon of January 12, 2008, Xu Junben had a dispute with his ex-wife over emotional and debt issues on the platform of Longze Station on Metro Line 13 heading towards Xizhimen.When the train came into the station, Xu Junben hugged his ex-wife with both hands and jumped off the platform facing the incoming train, causing his ex-wife to fall on the rails and get hurt.Fortunately, the train driver took the emergency brake in time, and the train stopped 1 meter away from the two.Later, Xu Junben climbed onto the platform and was caught when he was about to leave.
However, in court, Xu Junben's first sentence was "I did not intentionally kill".Xu Junben argued that he had no dispute with his ex-wife while waiting for the bus. "We have a deep relationship and we have two daughters. We are planning to remarry." Xu Junben said that when the train was six or seven meters away from him, he turned and pulled his ex-wife to get on the train.And the reason why he fell off the platform was because he didn't stand firm.At that time, he was very angry because he heard his ex-wife scolding him. "I couldn't control my emotions, so I wanted to shake her shoulders to scare her." Xu Junben explained his behavior of "jumping with his wife in his arms".As for his "escape", he explained: "I didn't think I could die, so I wanted to change the way of death, and I was going to take a taxi to Guomao and jump off the building."
According to the evidence provided by the prosecutor, Xu Junben's ex-wife Li Yuling said that when she was hugged and fell onto the railway tracks, she heard Xu Junben say to her: "I won't die alone. I didn't die this time, and there will be a next time."
According to a public security agency's appraisal conclusion presented by the public prosecutor, it proves that Xu Jun is a paranoid personality, but has the full capacity for responsibility.Xu Junben also admitted that he committed suicide many times, and often wanted to commit suicide because of trivial matters.
During the final statement in court, Xu Junben was very excited and burst into tears.While crying, he said that he was a little angry at the time, but now he regrets it very much. He feels that no matter how angry he should be, he should not scare his wife. Now he especially hopes that the court will give him a chance to repay the society.He saw the news about the Sichuan earthquake in the detention center, and he was deeply moved by the scene after the earthquake, so he couldn't continue to watch it.He has entrusted the detention center to donate the money in his passbook to the disaster area, and told his family members who visited him to ask them to donate more. This is what he can do now.
Li Yuling was also present at the hearing.During the whole process, she kept her head down, expressionless.When the trial was about to end, she also shed tears when she heard Xu Junben's crying statement and saw Xu Junben's father and brother crying in court.After the trial, Li Yuling stood beside Xu Junben's father, wiping away tears and staring at Xu Junben's back.
Xu Junben's father said that Li Yuling regretted that she insulted Xu Junben at that time, and she didn't expect to get to this point.Before the trial, Li Yuling wrote a letter to the judge, expressing that Xu Jun had no intention of killing herself and hoped to be dealt with lightly.
Xu Junben's father said that Xu Junben is the most filial of his three sons, but his personality is different from ordinary people, and sometimes it is difficult to control his emotions. "Today is also the first time I heard him talk about the donation in court. I believe he was really touched." Xu Junben's father choked up and said, "This child has committed suicide many times before. I cherish life, and as a father, I also hope that he can reform himself as soon as possible and return to society."
