Zhang Jinling was a well-known movie star in the 1970s and 1980s, and together with Liu Xiaoqing and Li Xiuming, she was known as the "Three Golden Flowers of the North Shadow".

She was originally a rural woman, but later entered the film and television circle by chance, and in the 70s and 80s, she became popular in half the sky.
But Zhang Jinling is not a woman with the heaviest career, 32-year-old she chose her child between her child and the movie, and faded out of the film and television circle at the peak of her career.
After Zhang Jinling faded out of the film and television circle for her children, her marriage was not happy, and she was divorced not long after she became a housewife.
She also tried to return to the film and television circle with her children, but the children were too young for her to focus on acting, and in order to take care of the children, she had to give up acting.
Zhang Jinling later met her second husband, Zhang Zheng, and with the support of her husband, began to learn calligraphy and painting, became a calligrapher and painter, and even sold a work for a high price of 1.2 million.
Now Zhang Jinling writes and paints in her spare time, her son has grown up, and her husband is very intimate.
She had a very good relationship with her husband, lived the life of a fairy lover, and eventually achieved enviable happiness.
One
Zhang Jinling, born in 1951 in Cangzhou City, Hebei Province, to a peasant family, is the eldest and has four younger brothers.
Her father was a person who worked in the county town and rarely returned home, so Zhang Jinling relied on her mother and brother for her life, helping her mother take care of her brother and do farm work.
Although Zhang Jinling is the only girl in the family, her parents have never had the idea of preferring sons to daughters, and they have given Zhang Jinling a good training.
And told her that girls must have culture and knowledge to be able to better stand in society.
Zhang Jinling has a good academic performance, is a good student in the school, and is often praised by teachers as a good student model.
When she was a child, she also dreamed of becoming a film actress.
She especially likes to sing and dance, although the living conditions are limited, there is no opportunity to learn to sing and dance, but in her spare time, Zhang Jinling still takes singing and dancing as her hobby.
After all, the gap between dreams and reality is too far, so Zhang Jinling became a teacher after graduating from middle school.
Zhang Jinling is very beautiful, is the highest-looking teacher in the school, has been liked by teachers and students, she works diligently in the teacher's post, and does not dare to hope that her dream will come true.
But after a year of working, opportunity crept into her.
In 1970, the Hubei Provincial Repertory Theatre went to Zhang Jinling's school to recruit drama actors.
Although Zhang Jinling is a teacher, she still chooses to fight for it without hesitation when she sees the opportunity to become an actor.
Fate is sometimes so wonderful, originally the enrollment object is a student, but the recruiter saw that Zhang Jinling's conditions were excellent, so it was easy to admit Zhang Jinling.
This year, Zhang Jinling was only 19 years old, and she became a drama actress, and her life changed dramatically.
When leaving home, Zhang Jinling was actually a little hesitant, she had never been far away, and she had never left her home.
Her mother was getting older, and her four younger brothers still needed to be taken care of, so she left the house like this, which made her feel unbearable.
But the mother is very open-minded, she knows that this is an opportunity to change her daughter's destiny, so she actively encourages her daughter to embrace this opportunity that life has given.
With the encouragement of her mother, Zhang Jinling left home without hesitation and went to Hubei to work as a drama actor.
Zhang Jinling's appearance is very beautiful, called graceful and luxurious, atmospheric and elegant, there is a kind of plump beauty, not only a beautiful face, but also a tall and tall figure, is a beautiful woman in a thousand miles.
At the beginning, Zhang Jinling ran a dragon set on the stage of the drama, but because of her own excellent conditions, and she was very smart and able to endure hardships, her acting skills were rapidly improving, and it could even be said that it was changing with each passing day.
Soon, Zhang Jinling became the protagonist of the stage.
Although she has not undergone professional training, the profession of an actress is sometimes actually a profession of God appreciating food.
Zhang Jinling was born to be an actor material, with extremely high understanding and excellent conditions.
After four years of tempering on the drama stage, Zhang Jinling's acting skills have matured day by day, and she has been favored by many film and television producers.
Two
In 1974, Zhang Jinling was selected to play the heroine in "Reconnaissance of Crossing the River", and it can be said that Zhang Jinling's starting point is very high.
Most people act in movies from the dragon set and supporting roles, and she starts from the heroine, which is really God's favor.
Although she is a drama actress who has never acted in a movie, the director believes in her acting skills and does not hesitate to give her the heroine.
Facts have proved that the director's vision is very unique, and Zhang Jinling has played the heroine very successfully under the guidance of directors Tang Huada and Tang Xiaodan.
After the release of "Reconnaissance of Crossing the River", Zhang Jinling became a hit, and her acting skills were recognized by experts and audiences.
So many directors have come to Zhang Jinling to shoot film and television works, and after the release of many film and television works, Zhang Jinling's fame has become even greater.
In the first few years of her debut, Zhang Jinling has been acting in red film and television works, such works have been performed a lot, and Zhang Jinling also wants to try different works, especially works on the theme of love.
Later, Zhang Jinling's fame became more and more famous, and her acting skills became more and more mature, and Zhang Jinling was also photographed by the Beijing Film Studio and transferred to the Beijing Film Studio.
Zhang Jinling then became a professional film and television actress, together with Liu Xiaoqing and Li Xiuming, and called "the three golden flowers of the North Film".
But Zhang Jinling's road from the film is not smooth, Zhang Jinling very much want to try the love theme of the film, and later met the movie "Love and Conspiracy".
But when the filming really began, it was the film "Sisters", which involved the interests of the producers after the filming was completed, so there were constant disputes and the actors suffered.
This incident hit Zhang Jinling very hard, and once did not want to shoot a movie, and later under the persuasion of friends, Zhang Jinling began to pluck up the courage to re-shoot new works.
And this new work is "Burning the Yuanmingyuan", the director arranged for Zhang Jinling to play the Western Empress Dowager Cixi, Zhang Jinling also liked this role very much, and wanted to do it again.
But at this time, Zhang Jinling found out that she was pregnant.
There is no doubt that this child has come at a very bad time, and Zhang Jinling needs to face the choice between fish and bear paws.
Because the shooting task is very heavy, the child and the movie Zhang Jinling can not have both, Zhang Jinling once could not choose.
However, after repeated consideration, Zhang Jinling chose to leave the child and give up the excellent opportunity of "Burning The Yuanmingyuan".
Later, when we saw the movie "Burning the Yuanmingyuan", the actor of the Western Empress Dowager Cixi became Liu Xiaoqing.
Liu Xiaoqing shined with this movie, this movie won many awards, and Liu Xiaoqing became an international superstar in one fell swoop.
And this opportunity should have been Zhang Jinling's, but Zhang Jinling chose to return to the family to have children, giving up the opportunity to shine.
Speaking of Zhang Jinling's choice to return to the family, it is necessary to mention Zhang Jinling's marriage.
Zhang Jinling was a small flower that was red to purple at that time, and Zhang Jinling's husband Xu Min was a very red student at that time.
The combination of the two originated from the movie "Hope", when this film was filmed in 1976, the two had an affair because of the drama, and after two years of love, they entered into marriage.
In 1978, she married Xu Min before Zhang Jinling transferred to Beiying, and xu Min also transferred to Beiying after her.
In 1982, Li Hanxiang was going to shoot the movie "Burning the Yuanmingyuan", giving Zhang Jinling the role of Empress Dowager Xigong Cixi, but Zhang Jinling became pregnant.
The shooting task is particularly heavy, pregnant Zhang Jinling is faced with a choice, Li Hanxiang said directly: "If you want children, you can't shoot, and you can't have children when filming." ”
But Zhang Jinling resolutely chose to give birth to a child.
After the birth of the child, Zhang Jinling felt the responsibility and happiness of being a mother.
Zhang Jinling once wanted to return to the film industry after the birth of her child, but she found that she could not devote herself to her work at all, and she could not do the same thing as taking the child to make a film.
So Zhang Jinling chose to return to her family.
After Zhang Jinling and Xu Min got married, they actually lived a life of gathering less and leaving more, and after having children, the two people had to be together almost every day.
There is a saying called "distance produces beauty", perhaps because two people are together every day, there is no distance, so the original sense of beauty does not exist.
Two people will always quarrel over some small things in life, so the marriage quickly lights up red.
In 1988, the marriage of the two men came to an end.
Zhang Jinling struggled to win custody of the child.
For Zhang Jinling, after the shadow is over, the child is her everything, so the custody of the child is inevitable.
Three
At the time of the divorce, Zhang Jinling was 37 years old, and zhang Jinling at this time had a mature woman's taste, and her beauty was still incomprehensible, so there was never a shortage of suitors.
But for Zhang Jinling, the criterion for choosing the other half is first of all to be good to her son, and secondly, she must have culture before she will consider it.
It is these two requirements that make many suitors retreat.
Later, Zhang Jinling met the wealthy businessman Zhang Zheng, whose father was one of the three major shareholders of Taiwan's federal film industry, and Zhang Zheng received an excellent education from an early age.
Zhang Zheng's family has a long history of learning, has been reading poetry since he was a child, and has amazing achievements in culture and painting, which can be said to be a person with a high level of culture.
And Zhang Zheng is particularly good to Zhang Jinling's son, often taking him to swim and skate, and the two get along like biological father and son.
Therefore, Zhang Zheng easily met Zhang Jinling's two requirements for remarriage.
Under the sincere pursuit of Zhang Zheng, Zhang Jinling finally accepted him.
In 1989, Zhang Jinling entered the marriage again.
In 1990, Zhang Jinling's son went to elementary school, and Zhang Zheng's daily work was always busy, so Zhang Jinling felt lonely.
At this time, Zhang Zheng suggested that Zhang Jinling study calligraphy and painting.
But Zhang Jinling was a little unconfident: "Can I do it?" ”
Zhang Zheng said: "Your acting is so good, there must be no problem with calligraphy and painting, because there is always a common connection between the arts." ”
Zhang Zheng also found a teacher for Zhang Jinling, who was Qi Baishi's disciple Lou Shibai, and the relationship between Lou Shibai and Zhang Zheng was very good.
Lou Shibai was very hesitant at the beginning, and said to Zhang Jinling: "You look so beautiful, learning calligraphy and painting is very hard, can you bear hardships?" ”
Zhang Jinling said: "There is no problem in suffering, but I don't know if I have the talent in this area. ”
Lou Shibai asked Zhang Jinling to write a few words to see, and Zhang Jinling wrote "Peace is a blessing."
Lou Shibai greatly appreciated it after reading it, and very happily accepted Zhang Jinling, a disciple.
Since then, Zhang Jinling has begun to learn calligraphy and painting with Lou Shibai.
Every once in a while, Zhang Jinling would take her own works to Lou Shibai for guidance.
Lou Shibai commented on Zhang Jinling's shrimp when she was learning to paint for three months: "Your shrimp looks like a sea cucumber, which makes people have an appetite when they look at it." ”
After listening to the master's comments, Zhang Jinling knew that her paintings were really bad, so she studied and practiced diligently every day, and one painting was more than ten hours.
Just learning to draw shrimp, she studied for three years.
Time passed like a white colt, and soon Zhang Jinling had been studying calligraphy and painting for eight or nine years, and in 1997, she took her paintings to Lou Shibai to hand over her homework.
But halfway through, it started to rain, so she hid the painting in her clothes, which were wet but still intact.
Lou Shibai was quite touched by her practice.
After reading her paintings, Lou Shibai said: "In the future, you don't have to come to me to hand in your homework, you can open a painting exhibition." ”、
So Zhang Jinling, with the support of her husband Zhang Zheng, opened exhibitions in many cities in China, and one of her paintings was auctioned for 1.2 million yuan.
Zhang Jinling has achieved good results in calligraphy and painting, and whenever she talks about her achievements, she will say: "My husband has given me a lot of help, especially great spiritual encouragement. ”
Now Zhang Jinling is already a well-known calligrapher and painter, and many directors still remember Zhang Jinling's acting skills, so in 2003, the director of "Golden Powder Family" found her.
Zhang Jinling was hesitant about whether to return to acting, so she asked Zhang Zheng, who said: "You can paint while acting, so that you can better broaden your artistic horizons." ”
Zhang Jinling then made a comeback to act again.
After "The Golden Powder Family", she successively filmed "Unforgettable 1936", "Comrade Cao Dingyang Sunset Red", "Accidental" and other film and television dramas.
Now That Zhang Jinling is 71 years old, she will focus her main energy on painting and calligraphy, and occasionally she will act in film and television dramas when she has the right role.
Some of her calligraphy and painting works have been collected by art museums in Britain, France and other countries, and have held many calligraphy and painting exhibitions abroad, and she is now an internationally renowned calligrapher and painter.
In July 2016, she held an exhibition on the banks of the Seine, which became a sensation in the local area, and many experts gave her paintings high praise.
Now Zhang Jinling not only has her favorite career, but also has a filial son and a caring husband, living a happy and happy life, which makes people envious.
Looking back on Zhang Jinling's life, it is undoubtedly a happy life, and the reason why she is happy is because she listens to her inner voice at every intersection and makes the right choice.
People's life is very long, but the fate is often determined by only the key steps, take the key steps, life will be happy and happy.
