Episode 22:
Famous Actress Jumps After Writing 16-Page Last Letter, Who Really Killed her?
Shen Lijun was once known as one of Shanghai's most beautiful actresses. At the height of her career, she met a wealthy businessman, fell in love, and chose to leave the entertainment industry behind to become a wife and mother.
From the outside, it looked like a fairy-tale ending. It wasn't.
The Perfect Husband
Wu Kaixin appeared charming, attentive, and successful. But shortly after the wedding, Shen discovered that he had hidden a previous marriage from her.
As the years passed, the relationship became increasingly one-sided. She endured miscarriages, difficult pregnancies, and years of physical suffering while raising children largely on her own.
Meanwhile, her husband spent more and more time away from home.
The Other Woman
The situation became even worse when Shen learned about her husband's affairs. One mistress allegedly mocked her online, taunted her about the affair, and openly flaunted her relationship with Wu Kaixin.
Whenever Shen sought support, she was dismissed. Even her in-laws reportedly treated her suffering as something she simply had to endure.
The woman who had given up everything for her family found herself completely alone.
Suspicious
Many people continue to debate what truly destroyed Shen Lijun's life. Was it the affairs? The emotional abuse?
The loss of her career and independence? Or the realization that the family she had sacrificed everything for would never stand with her?
By the time she was diagnosed with terminal cervical cancer, she appeared to have lost hope that anything would ever change.
Final Thoughts
In September 2018, Shen Lijun ended her life. Before she died, she left behind a message that many people still remember: "Do not sacrifice everything for love."
Her story continues to spark debate years later. How much should someone sacrifice for marriage before walking away becomes the healthier choice?
