Dai Luwa said that after she started working, she once called her mother for the first time to vent about the difficulties she was facing. Instead of receiving the emotional support she had hoped for, she recalled her mother telling her, “If other people can do it, why can’t you?”
She then talked about her first boyfriend, whom she had known since childhood. The two spent seven years together, and he provided her with support and a sense of security while she was trying to establish her career and going through emotionally difficult periods.
Dai Luwa said that whenever she finished filming, her boyfriend at the time would immediately come to pick her up. She also recalled how his mother treated her like her own daughter.
That closeness with her boyfriend’s family appeared to hold a special meaning for Dai Luwa. She said his family gave her a sense of warmth and helped fill an emotional void, to the point that she felt his family home was more like her own home.
During the conversation, Dai Luwa also said she hoped he would have a better life than she did.
“I even hope that his life turns out better than mine,” Dai Luwa said.
Her comments prompted netizens to revisit her relationship with her first boyfriend. Some Weibo posts claimed that the two eventually broke up after being together for seven years. Other netizens also suggested that a long-distance relationship and differences in their life plans were among the reasons they went their separate ways.
However, the information about why they broke up comes from Weibo netizens and social media discussions, rather than a direct statement from Dai Luwa that could be verified. The reason their relationship ended therefore should not be treated as confirmed based on her own account.
What Dai Luwa did share on the show was that she still viewed her former boyfriend in a positive light. She did not describe any hostility or conflict following their breakup and said she continued to hope that he would have a good life.
The story has resonated with viewers because Dai Luwa described her first boyfriend as more than just a romantic partner from her younger years. Based on her account, he was also someone who gave her a sense of security during a difficult period, while his family offered the warmth and acceptance that made her feel like part of their family.
The hashtag #代露娃七年初恋 (Dai Luwa’s seven-year first relationship) subsequently gained attention as netizens discussed the story. Much of the conversation centered on how her memories of the relationship connected with the family experiences she shared on the show.
At the same time, the relationship is part of Dai Luwa’s personal history that she chose to discuss on a variety program. Details that she did not personally disclose, including speculation about why the couple broke up, should not be treated as fact. Discussions about the story should also respect Dai Luwa’s privacy as well as that of her former boyfriend, who is not a public figure.
