Speaking of "mother professional household", the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is the old drama bone Zhang Shaohua, who always has a smile on her face and her eyes are bent like a crescent moon.
The young body, stooping on the back, the face is full of vicissitudes, and the wrinkles are like the ravines of history, engraving the suffering of this life on the face.
Over the years, Zhang Shaohua has become a conscientious labor model in the television circle, even though he has won numerous awards, but in his later years he was still crowded in a dilapidated bungalow.
Not only that, she dragged her sick body and "stationed" in the crew for many years, in order to earn more money and pay off the mortgage for her son.
Until Zhang Shaohua's death in March this year, the age shown in the obituary was 75 years old, but many netizens said that her real age was 84 years old.
Many people said that Zhang Shaohua knew for a long time that he had written his age wrongly on the Internet, but he had not changed it.
The ten-year age gap has made her controversial, and she has even been added the four big words of "virtue is ashamed".
Why is that?
01
According to officials, Zhang Shaohua was born in 1946, she lost her father at the age of three, and remarried to others in order to live with her mother.
Since then, there have been several more brothers and sisters in the family, and Zhang Shaohua in his childhood has not had enough to eat, and only during the New Year's Festival can he see a little bit of minced meat.
Whenever she opened her eyes in the middle of the night, she always saw her mother sewing and mending under the faint light, and Zhang Shaohua as a child hoped that she could grow up quickly and share the housework for her mother.
Until the age of 13, she noticed that the Chinese Critics Theater enrolled students, and there were sixteen yuan a month in living expenses, and Zhang Shaohua was moved.
In order to have food to eat, she had the courage to go to the interview.
Others are proficient in singing talents, but Zhang Shaohua's newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and a set of broadcast gymnastics conquers the teachers present.
After that, Zhang Shaohua started his acting career.
During her time in school, Zhang Shaohua was the one who worked hardest, and she felt that the living expenses of 16 yuan a month were worth it no matter how hard it was.
But later, Zhang Shaohua gradually realized that the 16 yuan had not been spent at all, let alone taken care of the family.
Practice supplies have to be bought every month, a pair of exercise shoes is seven yuan, Zhang Shaohua's money is often used up before the end of the month, and at the end of the month, he can only eat pickles to live.
Those days were very hard, but Zhang Shaohua survived.
She studied Tsing Yi for six years, and as CaiDan, she successively played "Yang Sanjie's Complaint" and "Flowers as a Medium".
And her partner is the famous performance artist Zhao Lirong's predecessor.
Although they are all clowns, Zhang Shaohua's thin appearance is impressive, until later, some bad guy roles always look for her to play.
After Zhao Lirong became famous, she crossed over to become a sketch actor, and the two took two completely different paths.

A few years later, Zhao Lirong starred in the role of a queen in "Journey to the West" and instantly exploded.
Zhang Shaohua also wanted to change careers, but she was reluctant to let go of her old profession.
After years of silence, it was not until 1993 that Zhang Shaohua officially came out of the circle and was well known to the audience.
Because of her looks, she plays the image of some "bad people", in 1997 she played Ziwei's aunt in "Huan Zhu GeGe".
After a day of filming, Zhang Shaohua rushed to other crews, and even missed other scenes in "Returning the Pearl", and afterwards she said that she regretted it.
The following year, in the TV series "Kangxi Micro Service Private Interview", she played the role of an old duck who was well known and slowly opened up the market.
Since then, Zhang Shaohua has gradually become a professional mother, and many mother roles have found her.
Because of playing too many mother roles, Zhang Shaohua was affectionately called "mother professional household" by netizens.
In 2001, the TV series "The Gate of the Big House" was a hit, and Zhang Shaohua played Li Xiangxiu's mother in the crew.
Although she is a supporting role, her performance is very outstanding, and the feeling of loving and afraid of her daughter is vividly interpreted.
After that, she continued to play the role of mother in major TV series, successfully winning the recognition of the audience, but failed to become popular.
Until 2008, the TV series "My Ugly Lady" was broadcast successively on various David TV, and Zhang Shaohua, as the lead actor, did not mind "playing ugly" at all.
She said: I was originally ugly, I was not beautiful when I was young, and now my image is closer to that of an ugly woman.
The ugly lady in the play is a rural person, in order to be more in line with the character image, Zhang Shaohua is even more "blackening herself" and has put a lot of effort into makeup.
Finally, this TV series was a big fire, from the protagonist to the supporting role, Zhang Shaohua, who had survived for decades, finally had a head start.
She said: Every crying scene in the play is my true feelings, and I have never used eye drops.
In order to make the plot more realistic, Zhang Shaohua went directly to the street to beg, and the crew adopted the form of candid filming in order to increase the realism of the plot.
While crying, Zhang Shaohua stuffed the money back to passers-by, and whispered in his mouth: Child, I am filming, hurry up and get the money back.
But passers-by didn't believe it and looked at her with very surprised eyes.

"My Ugly Lady" directly broadened her play path in the entertainment industry, so that in "Iron Pear Blossom", director Guo Jingyu was not worried about her strength.
Eight years later, Guo Jingyu joined hands with Zhang Shaohua again to tailor "Niangdao" for him.
This time the old lady is the lead actor, and there are many lines, she said:
The second time I got sick, I had a major operation to open my intestines and break my stomach, and I asked for a replacement, but the director said, you are at ease, we are waiting for you.
In the end, not long after Zhang Shaohua finished the operation, he wrapped his belt into the crew and insisted on filming the entire TV series.
Because of Zhang Shaohua's reasons, the crew lost hundreds of thousands, and she was very grateful to the crew and kept thinking about Guo Jingyu's goodness.
Many people may have questioned, such an old age can be raised for a long time, why should they be so desperate?
According to herself, her relationship with her son is not good.
Despite their blood ties, the son has been a left-behind child since childhood, and a great gap has arisen between them.
In order to make up for the lack of maternal love in the past, Zhang Shaohua has been very good to her son and daughter-in-law, and she has given almost all her income in recent years to her son to help him buy a car and a house.
Even in his advanced age, he still rode around in a wheelchair to help his son pay off his mortgage, but he lived in a small house of about 40 square meters.
But Zhang Shaohua still did not get her son's understanding, but she herself said: Who is not for her children?
In 2016, Zhang Shaohua won the "Lifetime Achievement Award".
On the stage, Zhang Shaohua wore clothes of less than 100 yuan and bowed deeply to everyone present.
Seeing this, many people were moved.
But some people say that the old lady loves acting, and these are just dramas for her to earn tears.

I think that back then, the empress dowager Xin Fengxia had the grace of knowing Zhang Shaohua.
However, in the turbulent years, she led someone to raid the teacher's home, which caused him to be disabled for life, and snatched Qi Baishi's calligraphy and paintings before leaving.
In the end, Xin Fengxia forgave Zhang Shaohua and passed away with endless grievances.
Years later, Wu Huan, the son of Xin Fengxia, confronted Zhang Shaohua when his mother was ninety years old.
She avoided the heavy and the light, and gently avoided the matter.
This matter was finally over, but Zhang Shaohua's reputation took a sharp turn, and she did not expect that in her later years, she was criticized by netizens, which was simply too tragic.
Having not lived through that era, we didn't know much about certain things.
But what Uncle Mai is sure of is that people who once faced a lot of helplessness.
Although Zhang Shaohua is ashamed of her virtues, her dedication to the TV drama industry cannot be forgotten.
Some time ago, Zhang Shaohua was hospitalized due to illness, lying alone on the hospital bed, with an oxygen tube inserted, and his gray-haired face lost a lot of weight.
She looks very haggard, but there is no trace of her son around her, and some people have questioned her son for not fulfilling his responsibility to support the elderly.
It is really life like a drama, a drama like life.
After playing so many tragic mother roles in her life, she ended up in such a field in her later years, which can't help but make people feel sorry.
