Later, she received a blockbuster drama "Antony and Cleopatra", and she collaborated with the "Prince of Drama" Jiao Huang, who also starred in the Kangxi Emperor in "Kangxi Dynasty".
This play lasted for nearly 4 months, with more than 40 performances in total. Unexpectedly, because the two got along every day and night, they developed feelings without knowing it.
At that time, Li Yuanyuan was only in her early twenties, while Jiao Huang was already 50 years old. There was a difference of more than 20 years, so the two could only have a secret love affair.
Eventually, their romance was exposed, which was groundbreaking news in the 1980s.

In the end, Li Yuanyuan still failed to defeat the disease and passed away when the child was just one month old.
Li Yuanyuan's death brought great sorrow to her family, and her husband Yang Cheng fell into deep grief.
He could not accept his wife's departure, but for the sake of his young son, he had to be strong. He knew that he had the responsibility to take good care of his son and let him grow up healthy and happy.
Before going to bed every night, he would pat his wife's portrait on the pillow and whisper "good night" in a low voice. At the same time, he strictly followed the doctor's instructions and hoped that he would live a long and healthy life so that he could spend more time with his son.
After his mother passed away, his son became Yang Cheng's biggest spiritual support. Therefore, he has been very sensible since he was a child and hopes to become a person who makes his father proud. Among his peers, he always seemed particularly mature and strong.
In order to reassure his father, his son worked very hard in his studies. Although he lost his mother's love, he received care and help from teachers and classmates at school, which made him more confident and stronger.
