In 2004, a phone call from Jiamusi in the northeast to Beijing shattered the dream of a north drifter.
"When I knew you, you made a few hundred dollars; when we got married, you still only made a few hundred dollars.",
"If you continue like this, you won't be able to get by, get a divorce."
This wanderer is the famous actor Zhang Guoqiang, and it is his ex-wife who is far away from his hometown in the northeast.
At this time, Zhang Guoqiang was still eating instant noodles in the damp and dark basement, fantasizing about how to give his wife and children a better life.
But after answering the phone, he became the culprit of his wife's separation.
Fortunately, he did not give up on himself, and the blows of real life stimulated his potential.
He began to work hard, and finally became popular after 2 years, marrying Maggie Cheung of the North, who was 7 years younger.
Now the children are complete, the wives are virtuous, and they are very happy.
Born in the Pear Garden family, I am accustomed to the deceit of the drama team
In 1969, in the northeastern city of Jiamusi, a boy fell to the ground.
In the expectations of the whole family, his father named him Zhang Guoqiang.
Zhang Guoqiang grew up in the Liyuan family, and his great-grandfather Ni Junsheng was the founder of the ni school of commentaries at that time.
Her mother, Ni Jinghuan, is a pillar of the drama and is a famous local character.
His father was Peking Opera actor Zhang Haifeng.
Under such a powerful genetic influence, Zhang Guoqiang was born with a good voice.
And he has been very clever since he was a child, with a pair of big eyes shining brightly.
Sometimes his parents were busy at work, so they took him to the theater garden and handed him over to his colleagues to help take care of him.
Zhang Guoqiang did not cry or make trouble, and looked at everything in the theater garden curiously.
When his parents performed on stage, he listened backstage, sometimes with a small audience and a first-class seat.
Over time, the bridge section that parents often sing can also imitate one or two.
His parents saw it in their eyes and were happy in their hearts, and they began to deliberately cultivate him from then on.
Zhang Guoqiang also lived up to expectations, learned to play hard and seriously, and made rapid progress.
At that time, Ni Jinghuan was a famous character in Pear Garden, and no matter what the play was, he was the first to sing.
Even the honorary titles of advanced pacesetter, "golden voice", and people's congress deputies are all hers.
They all say that "the tree is a big wind", and this is true.
Many people in the garden were jealous of her, and naturally they could not help but trip her up.
In order to change the status quo, Ni Jinghuan got up early every day and rushed to the pear garden.
After arriving at the pear garden, there was no shelf of "famous horns", sweeping the floor and mopping the floor, helping the teachers and sisters to pack up the costumes and lay hands.
Even Guo Degang listened to these things, and he was very Zhang Guoqiang's mother.
But even if it is, it will not help.
Zhang Guoqiang, who follows his mother in and out of the pear garden every day, sees all this in his eyes.
After Ni Jinghuan, who had nowhere to vent in the pear garden, returned home, he sprinkled all his anger on his family.
The set of "opening up the hall" in the drama team (one person made a mistake, and the whole class was punished) was also moved back home by Ni Jinghuan.
In Zhang Guoqiang's recollection, at that time, as long as someone in the family made a mistake, others also had to suffer along with it.
And my mother said to fight, it was a real fight, until now Zhang Guoqiang can still remember that kind of pain.
Not only that, but there are many family rules set by parents.
Tutoring is also very strict.
Although Zhang Guoqiang was very incomprehensible to zhang guoqiang when he was a child, he said in an interview when he grew up:
"My parents not only gave birth to me and raised me, but also my teachers",
"My tenacity and kindness are what my parents taught me."
However, because Zhang Guoqiang was tired of the intrigues in the drama team since he was a child, he did not want to sing the opera.
Coupled with Zhang Guoqiang's height to 180, it is even more unsuitable for singing.
Therefore, he came from a family of pear gardens, and in the end, he did not inherit the mantle of his parents.
In 1986, Zhang Guoqiang was 17 years old.
At the suggestion of his father, he applied for the local drama academy in his hometown.
Zhang Haifeng believes that his son is extremely talented, so he did not let his son choose a more difficult path - to enter the university.
In 1989, Zhang Guoqiang graduated.
With excellent results, Zhang Guoqiang was assigned to jiamusi's drama troupe.
Everything has a new beginning.
Meet your first wife, life is bitter but enjoyable
When he first arrived at the repertory theatre, Zhang Guoqiang was full of fighting spirit.
He didn't tell anyone about his origins, and he was determined to break through the world on his own.
But this fighting spirit was soon defeated by reality.
Zhang Guoqiang could not have dreamed that the common intrigues and struggles in the drama team were repeated in the drama troupe.
Because of the fierce competition and his lack of experience, some good roles cannot be played by Zhang Guoqiang.
What is even more embarrassing is that Zhang Guoqiang's salary is only a few hundred yuan per month.
With a meager salary every month, it is not even enough for a seven-foot boy to eat.
In order to make a living, Zhang Guoqiang saved money every day.
I didn't dare to spend more money, for fear of spending more money and not having money to fill my stomach the next day.
At that time, Zhang Guoqiang spent money to cut and search, and no colleague was willing to play with him.
But stubborn, he is not willing to "nibble on the old", and he has never reported good news or worry to his parents.
At the most difficult time, Zhang Guoqiang was eager to spend a penny in half.
But at this moment, a girl, Lin Jing (pseudonym), entered his heart.
Lin Jing saw through the helplessness and heartache behind his strength.
In order to let him eat enough, Lin Jing often handed his meal to Zhang Guoqiang on the grounds of "buying more than one" and "can't eat it".
Whenever this happened, Zhang Guoqiang would raise his head from his lunch box and smile gratefully at Lin Jing.
It was this honest and thick smile that was completely carved into Lin Jing's heart.
After talking, it was found that the two were about the same age.
And they are quite interested in acting, so the two see each other and hate each other late, and the more they talk, the more speculative they are.
Zhang Guoqiang felt that he was poor and hopeless, because Lin Jing's arrival added a different brilliance.
Between you and me, love has quietly taken root.
Without money to go to the restaurant, the two saved up money to go to the market to buy meat and vegetables together, and together they made a beautiful dinner.
As the lights flickered, time seemed to stand still.
Young little two, because of love, can also be happy in poverty.
After marriage, he was happy to add ding, but it became the fuse of divorce
Here, Zhang Guoqiang's parents watched their son's relationship with his girlfriend getting better and better, and they were happy to see it.
So, under the witness of the two families and colleagues in the drama troupe, the two entered the palace of marriage.
After marriage, the two also lived an unchanged life.
Although poor, the occasional delicious meal became the greatest comfort for the two.
But after having a son, everything changed.
In 1999, his son, Zhang Yu, was born.
In the past, as long as he and his wife had enough to eat, the whole family would not be hungry.
But after you have raised a child, you will not know how much it costs to raise a child.
With the salaries of two people for a few hundred yuan, they could not support a child at all.
In order to make a living, Zhang Guoqiang went to the bar to sing and went to the TV station to be a guest host.
An actor has become a bar seller, and Zhang Guoqiang's heart is very helpless.
In the song hall, it is inevitable to encounter difficult customers, and sometimes they are scolded bloodily just because they are slow to help guests order songs.
But even if he was scolded by the guests, Zhang Guoqiang did not say a word.
However, Jiamusi is always a small place, even if Zhang Guoqiang tries hard, the development prospects are limited.
Even the child's milk powder money requires parents to take out their pension every month to help.
Later, a friend who returned from Beijing told him: "There are many more opportunities in Beijing."
Therefore, cornered, he resolutely went north and became a north drifter.
Lin Jing, who did not want her husband to leave, also knew that there was no other way but to let her husband go.
Before leaving, Zhang Guoqiang told his wife: "You endure it any longer, when I make money, we will live a good life, and it is hard for you to take the children at home."
However, in Beijing, there are no connections and no resources, and Zhang Guoqiang is unable to move forward.
Living in the basement and eating vegetable leaves that others don't want, you still only have a few thousand yuan a month.
As soon as you get your salary and leave yourself a little living expenses, you send it all home.
However, Zhang Guoqiang's exhaustion and hard work to earn this little money is still not enough to support a family.
Finally, in 2004, my wife couldn't bear to make a phone call to Beijing and ask for a divorce.
Zhang Guoqiang, who heard his wife's divorce, was heartbroken and kept staying on the phone:
"You wait, wait, wait, soon we will have money, don't let the child be so young and have no mother." 」
But at this time, Lin Jing's mind full of "glory and wealth" was still willing to continue to commit to this poor boy.
After completing the divorce procedures, the wife left her young son and left.
Joined the Army of North Drift, and finally became famous after 8 years of ups and downs
Looking at the children waiting to be fed and the parents who are getting older, the pressure on Zhang Guoqiang's shoulders is even greater.
So he made a difficult choice — to take his son to Beijing.
Before leaving, my father asked him worriedly, "Can it work?"
He firmly told his father, "I think I should go and break in."
"Break your own way".
Although Zhang Guoqiang had no bottom in his heart, he still resolutely set off.
With no money, he took his son to live in the basement.
The basement of a few tens of dollars is damp and dark all day long, and there is no sunlight.
Afraid that his son could not stand it, Zhang Guoqiang squeezed out time to take his son out to bask in the sun.
Fortunately, Zhang Yupishi has never had any serious illness.
The neighbors who live in the basement also take great care of the father and son, and feel very incomprehensible to Lin Jing, who ruthlessly abandoned the child.
But Zhang Guoqiang never said a bad word to his son.
After settling down, Zhang Guoqiang began to go out to find a job.
Unknown, he can only play some dragon set roles that others do not want to play.
There are no names, no costumes, and some don't even have a face.
In the 8 years of running the dragon set, Zhang Guoqiang suffered a lot.
Fortunately, later when filming, Zhang Guoqiang got acquainted with fellow Wu Liansheng.
Under the matchmaking of his compatriots, he was able to play a small role in "A Pin to the Point" directed by Kang Honglei.
Through this work, Kang Honglei looked at Zhang Guoqiang's strong foundation in his eyes.
Since then, Zhang Guoqiang has embarked on his own transport road.
Later, when Kang Honglei was planning to shoot "Soldier Assault", he was the first to think of him.
Kang Honglei felt: "The role of Gao Cheng is none other than him."
When he received Kang Honglei's call, Zhang Guoqiang was overjoyed and responded.
After the broadcast of this drama, It became popular with Zhang Guoqiang, Wang Baoqiang, Zhang Yi and other cadres.
Later, Zhang Guoqiang successively took over a number of TV series with military themes.
There is no doubt that Zhang Guoqiang finally caught fire in the year of 37.
He even became a "military professional household".
After his career was so prosperous, Zhang Guoqiang's time to accompany his son became less and less.
Sometimes Zhang Yu often gets up early in the morning to wait for his father in order to be able to take a walk with his father.
When Zhang Guoqiang returned home from work, he watched his son curled up on the small bed alone, and his heart was also full of heartache.
In an interview, Zhang Guoqiang once said: "I owe my son a lot."
However, when you carry life, you can't hug your son; when you let go of life, you can't support your son.
I still hope that Zhang Yu can understand his father's pain.
Marry "Maggie Cheung of the North" and be happy
After his career was on the right track, Zhang Guoqiang met Wang Xiaonan, who was also an actor, under the introduction of Luo Haiqiong.
The two fell in love at first sight and began a relationship.
Although Zhang Guoqiang is married for the second time and is 7 years older than himself, Wang Xiaonan has never complained.
At first, when the son learned of this, he strongly objected.
But Wang Xiaonan still patiently talked to Zhang Yu.
Knowing that Zhang Yu likes military-themed film and television dramas, he often takes him to watch this type of movie.
Will also take Zhang Yu to play games.
Usually in life, the father and son are more cared for.
The hot meals, ironed clothes, and washed fruits warmed the hearts of the father and son.
With Wang Xiaonan's efforts, Zhang Yu slowly accepted this stepmother.
In 2009, Zhang Guoqiang and Wang Xiaonan married.
After marriage, Wang Xiaonan seemed to be a model of a virtuous wife and mother.
In 2013, his wife gave birth to a daughter for Zhang Guoqiang.
In order to support her husband's career, Wang Xiaonan directly quit the entertainment circle and started to back up.
Now that his children are complete, he is very satisfied.
And in order to accompany his family, Zhang Guoqiang also decided to only take one or two plays a year.
"Bitter and willing to come to Heavenly Gifts" is probably the most true portrayal of Zhang Guoqiang's life.
It was the courage to drift north with his son, and now he has the blessing of enjoying life.
In the entertainment circle like a big dye vat, there are indeed not many good men like Zhang Guoqiang.
