Jiang later said during an Interview that his decision to marry then was a
forced one because the whole nation had known their story due to too much media
exposure.
Reporter: Why did you get marry since you two had not got along with each
other well?
Jiang: I had no other choice but to marry. Various media have reported our
story so the whole nation know about us. Besides, I could not bear hurting her.
I had thought the marriage might change her. I had not expected she became more
outrageous after it. I felt disappointed.
R: Who popped the question then?
J: We both discussed it. No one proposed voluntarily.
R: You seemed depressed during the wedding ceremony.
J: I did not know then whether I wanted to continue the ceremony. But I had
to because stopping it seemed impossible.
R: Why did you leave home after marriage?
J: There were too many conflicts between us. Life then was terrible. I had
to leave so that both of us might calm down.
R: Where were you after leaving home?
J: I stayed in one of my friends’ home. I had planned to calm down and
think imperturbably. But I saw reports that Li Ling wanted a divorce. I thought,
“A divorce is OK for me, too.”
R: It is said you married her for money.
J: I had left her for several times and had not brought any money or even
clothes. I could have taken all the money if I had married for money. I deserved
the money she gave me when we divorced since I had run business with her for so
many years.
R: Do you still love her?
J: No. She totally disappoints me. I have given her many chances but she
hurt me time and again.
R: Can you two still be friends?
J: Maybe.
Psychological experts said unequal media attention might be the root cause
for the divorce.
The media have given Li so much attention that Jiang has been ignored, Ma
Qiuping believed, who is a marriage expert of Sichuan Psychological Consultants’
Professional Committee.
Jiang was actually a tragedy since he never expressed his own ideas to the
media. He had to follow the reports since all of them wished that the love
between the two persons would be as true and long as that in fairy tales.
