Chinese actress Li Jinming participated in the reality show 'Celebrities Come to My Home' in 2014. According to the program arrangement, she experienced life as a 'temporary daughter-in-law' in a rural family. Unexpectedly, this variety show performance turned into a 12-year-long real-life nightmare. The rural family at that time believed the show setting to be true, not only requesting the production team to have Li Jinming share a room with their son, but after the show ended, even filed a lawsuit demanding her to 'fulfill marital obligations' and sought 200,000 RMB (about 120,000 MYR) in compensation. Although the court ultimately rejected their claims, the other party still regards this fictional relationship as real to this day.
Recently, the woman dubbed as the 'fake mother-in-law' by netizens once again posted expressing her longing for Li Jinming, with content that many netizens found suffocating to read. She claimed that since Li Jinming left, her love and longing have never ceased. Every night before going to bed, she would spend half an hour to an hour in the room Li Jinming once lived in, claiming she could still feel her presence and smile, even writing 'love you forever', and revealed that she often cries alone in the room due to excessive longing.
In response to the renewed buzz, Li Jinming also responded on Weibo on the evening of the 23rd. She confessed that her Weibo has recently almost become a clarification center for herself, and she feels helpless and baffled that false rumors continue to affect everyone’s life. She specifically clarified that she has never filed a lawsuit against anyone, her physical and mental condition has not been affected by outside speculation, and that she is doing well at present.
Many netizens, after reading through the whole incident, exclaimed that it was basically like a 'real-life horror film', and felt chills at the family’s over 10 years of entanglement. Others praised Li Jinming for still choosing to respond rationally and without harsh words despite such an absurd encounter, and called for the other party to face reality: 'Let Li Jinming go!'
