He Cong

He Cong's date of birth is unspecified, but her origins can be traced back to the late 20th century. She is a well-known Chinese artist and actress. Her family background involves actors from the All-China Federation of Trade Unions Drama Troupe, and she has a significant personal relationship with the famous contemporary Chinese actor Ge You.

He Cong's career began in art education; she previously worked as an art teacher. Due to her frequent visits to art exhibitions, her first encounter with Ge You occurred at the National Art Museum of China. According to her recollections, she often visited the museum to view exhibitions and happened to meet Ge You there when he was still an extra just starting out. She was introduced by a colleague who said, "This is Ge You, an actor from my mother's drama troupe; he's the son of Ge Cunzhuang." Ge Cunzhuang was an actor with the All-China Federation of Trade Unions Drama Troupe. Because their first impression was positive, they gradually established contact and began to get to know each other.

Regarding family relationships, He Cong’s parents disapproved of her association with Ge You. Despite her efforts to explain his good character and personality, her parents remained opposed, even threatening to sever ties during arguments. To avoid upsetting her parents, He Cong ultimately decided to break up with Ge You. She once met him in a park and candidly explained that the reason for their breakup was family pressure and differing views.

In terms of their marriage, He Cong and Ge You got together in the late 1980s and spent many years in mutual understanding and companionship. To support Ge You’s acting career, He Cong resigned from her original art teaching position, initially helping in her husband's restaurant, then becoming his assistant for filming projects. When they celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary, Ge You gifted He Cong a luxurious villa worth millions of yuan and a lavish RV as a token of love. There are rumors that they have no children; however, some sources suggest that they had already agreed not to have children at the time of marriage. The couple has a deep emotional bond and, despite family pressures, has maintained a stable relationship.

Professionally, He Cong continuously adapted her roles from arts education to participating in film production, becoming an important supporter in their family life. Reports state that during filming, He Cong would consciously avoid scenes involving intimacy to maintain family harmony. Ge You’s career has advanced significantly; he has played major roles in various TV dramas and films.

It is also known that Ge You and He Cong maintained a correspondence habit, exchanging letters weekly from 1985 to 1991, expressing their feelings of longing and farewell. Their relationship was deep, and Ge You publicly expressed his love for his wife on numerous occasions, emphasizing that family is a vital part of his life.
