After graduating from Shanghai Theatre Academy, Xi was assigned to work at Shanghai People's Art Theatre.[2] In 1982, Zhou Yemang also came to work at Shanghai People's Art Theatre, and the two got married in 1985.[2] Shortly after marriage, Zhou obtained a three-year study abroad spot in Canada, causing a rift in their marital relationship.[2] In 1990, Xi had an unexpected miscarriage after becoming pregnant.[2] At the age of 39, Xi gave birth to a son named Xi Nan (奚男) during her second pregnancy.[2] Shortly thereafter, the two divorced, and Zhou remarried "Qiong Girl" Wang Zhixia (琼女郎”王之夏).[2]
