On January 31st, the entertainment world buzzed with the heartwarming news from the beloved TV series “Rural Love” (乡村爱情). Dong Sanmao (董三毛), known for his role as the endearing Old Xu (Xu Accountant), and his second wife, Candy (糖果), took to social media to share a series of affectionate snapshots, officially announcing their marriage.
Dong Sanmao, 43 this year, and his wife Candy, 35, defy their age gap with their striking compatibility and evident affection for each other. Images show an emotional Dong, unable to hold back tears of joy during their photo session.
Candy, also an errenzhuan performer and a vivacious live comedy and singing host, is a woman of many talents. Her social media profiles, showcasing her beauty, singing, and comic skills, attest to her multifaceted abilities. Fans are particularly captivated by her stunning visuals and long, eye-catching legs.
Fans speculate that marriage to Dong Sanmao could catapult Candy into wider fame, with suggestions even swirling about her joining Zhao Benshan Media and co-starring in “Rural Love” alongside her husband.
Born in 1980, Dong Sanmao is the 31st disciple of Zhao Benshan (赵本山) and is widely recognized for his role as Xu Accountant in “Rural Love.” Although not the lead, his character is central throughout the series, earning him critical acclaim and audience affection for his authentic portrayal.
Liu Dan (刘丹), who plays Xu’s wife in the series and is a fellow Zhao Benshan Media actress, shares a well-received, seamless on-screen chemistry with Dong. Despite her supporting role, her performances are praised for their realism and sincerity.
Following Dong’s marriage announcement and revelation of his divorce from Liu Dan five years ago, Liu Dan, who had been silent on social media for a while, posted a chic, youthful-looking video. Her cryptic caption and the prominent ring on her finger left fans wondering if this was a subtle response to her ex-husband’s new chapter.
“Rural Love,” a long-standing and beloved series produced by Zhao Benshan Media, has been a staple on screens since 2006, with the eagerly anticipated “Rural Love 16” set to premiere soon. With the official news of Dong Sanmao and Liu Dan’s divorce after five years, viewers are keen to see how this development might affect their on-screen collaboration in the upcoming episodes.
