When Yang Zhigang was 15 years old, his mother was seriously ill and hospitalized.
Families take turns to go to the hospital and accompany the bed to take care of it.
Yang Zhigang had been brewing for many days, but he still couldn't call out the "mom".
This mother-son relationship was forcibly severed only 3 months after he was born.
For as long as he can remember, he has been in charge of his mother and father as the eldest aunt and the eldest uncle.
When his mother was dying, he wanted to call out "Mom."
But he opened his mouth, but his throat could not make a sound...

In 1978, the Guo family added a male doll.
This is the fourth boy in the Guo family, and there are 3 older brothers on it.
When the newborn arrives, there is no joy in the family.
Because along with it, there is also a heavy "critical notice" from the doctor.
The child's mother is not in good health, and it is exhausting to give birth to this child, and her life is in danger at any time.
Even if properly maintained, the longest will only live for 18 years.
In honor of the great mother, the child's father decided to let him take his mother's surname.
So the fourth son of the Guo family was surnamed Yang and named Yang Zhigang.
The family of 6 lives, and the burden is on the father.
The family is very poor, and they can't open the pot, let alone let the mother take care of her body.
At this time, the child's grandmother heard the news and gave an idea.
The child's uncle's family, married for many years without children under his knees, has seen a doctor and taken tonics, and still has no way to ask for a son.
Since the fourth child's surname is Yang, it is better to send it to his uncle to raise, not only is the population less to add food, but the child is raised by his own relatives and will not be treated badly.
Thinking that it is a family, it is also a win-win situation, and both families agree.
So when Yang Zhigang was 3 months old, he was passed over to his uncle's family.
Therefore, he has called his uncle and aunt His father and mother since he was a child.
Instead, he called his mother and father a great aunt and a great uncle.
But in the end, paper can't contain the fire, and adults underestimate the sensitivity of children.
When Yang Zhigang was 4 years old, he went to play at his aunt's house, and the neighbors on the street laughed and teased him, calling him "Guo Xiaosi".
From these gossip, he knew that he was a "abandoned" child whose "parents didn't want".
So the little one began to feel inferior and sensitive, why was I abandoned? Am I disobedient?
But the aunt obviously hurt herself very much, and every time he went to play, she would cook him eggs that the family did not want to eat
He couldn't figure it out, didn't dare to ask, and none of the adults in the family had explained all this.
So he missed a link in his childhood, a reason, an explanation.
And all this not only bothered him, but also troubled his third brother, Guo Jingyu, who was 5 years older than him.
His brother was sent away, and he cried for a long time, even falling into self-blame.
In order to comfort him, Grandma coaxed him to say that his brother had sent him away, and all the delicious food would be left to you.
After listening to it, he blamed himself even more, thinking that it was his own reasons that sent his brother away.
He couldn't shake the adult's decision, but he decided from a young age: When I grow up, I will do everything I can to compensate my brother.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="40">02</h1>
The knots in Yang Zhigang's heart were entangled until he was more than 10 years old.
He began to have a subjective opinion, feeling that he was superfluous in both homes, and it was better not to stay on either side.
So I went out to school, and the farther away the better.
At this time, the third brother Guo Jingyu was already an actor in the Hebei Chengde Repertory Theatre.
However, he did not become a leading actor, but has been running a dragon suit, so he tried to transform behind the scenes.
When he heard the news of his brother again, he heard the bad news that he had skipped class and his grades had plummeted.
It turned out that Yang Zhigang sneaked out to play table tennis in order to play table tennis, and was confiscated by the teacher.
Already sensitive, he felt that his self-esteem was hurt, and he began not to study and gave up on himself.
After Guo Jingyu knew, he began to blame himself again, because he gave the racket.
With Yang Zhigang's achievements at that time, further education was a problem.
Just hebei art school to recruit students in various middle schools, living in Guo Jingyu's drama troupe.
He signed up with his brother and gave him a dance to deal with exams.
So when Yang Zhigang was 13 years old, he was admitted to the dance major of Hebei Art School, and he jumped for 7 years.
His brother Guo Jingyu has also successfully transformed into a behind-the-scenes and become a director.
What he didn't expect was that Yang Zhigang actually wanted to learn acting, and the reason was even more outrageous.
He became fascinated by Wang Zhiwen and Jiang Shan's "Addiction", and inquired that Wang Zhiwen came out of the acting school, and he also wanted to learn.
Before Guo Jingyu could shake his head, Yang Zhigang was admitted to nortel's 99-level undergraduate class, and Yao Chen and Du Chun became classmates.
In his sophomore year, he wore the same hairstyle as Wang Zhiwen, starred in his film debut "The Seventeenth Year of Wuma", and was also shortlisted for many international awards.
Therefore, when Guo Jingyu asked him to shoot a play, Yang Zhigang refused, and he wanted to engage in film and art, so he did not act in his play.
As a result, Guo Jingyu also spoke harshly to him, pointing out that his acting skills were too immature to play a big role.
The two brothers had a big fight and broke up.
However, the two were soon "punched in the face".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="64">03</h1>
In 2005, Yang Zhigang received an idol drama "Perfect Summer".
The female protagonists of this drama are Jiang Shan and Yuan Quan.
Yang Zhigang did not expect that his dream would come true so quickly, and he would be able to act with Jiang Shan.
Before he could get excited, he heard two female lead actors, both recommending the same director as the producer.
The director's name is particularly familiar: Guo Jingyu.
Everyone was looking around for a phone to contact him, and Yang Zhigang said quietly: Don't look for it, that's my brother, I have his phone.
In this way, the two brothers mistakenly completed the first cooperation.
Since then, Yang Zhi has just stopped rejecting cooperation with his brother.
However, in his brother's play, Yang Zhigang has always played a supporting role, and in "Blade 1937", he also played a villain.
Until 2008, Guo Jingyu filmed "Secret Drawings", and his younger brother Yang Zhigang encountered an accident in a demolition scene.
Originally, in the explosion scene, the stunt actors were arranged to act.
However, Yang Zhigang is his brother, and if he uses a stuntman, it proves that he does not believe in this demolition division, and the other staff will panic.
As a result, after filming began, the scene was like the explosion of an arsenal.
All the lights were extinguished, the electricity was all cut off, and only a series of howls were heard.
And Yang Zhigang was closest to the explosion point, and the whole person was overturned by the air wave and smashed under the prop door.
By the time his brother found him, he had no signs of life.
After being sent to the hospital for rescue, Yang Zhigang was convicted of 30% burns on his body, mixed with 2 degrees.
His whole body was puffy, his hair was scorched, his face was black, and he hurt his facial nerves.
When he woke up, there were many people around the bed, but they didn't see his brother.
It turned out that Guo Jingyu couldn't bear to see his brother's appearance, and had been wandering outside the ward, and when he heard that his brother was awake, he asked someone to send a note in.
"Zhigang, we are a person, you hurt me and I hurt, be strong."
He also secretly swore: No matter what my brother becomes, he can act for one day, and I will hold it for a day.
Therefore, after Guo Jingyu's drama, the male protagonist, without exception, is almost all Yang Zhigang.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="89">04</h1>
Around 2010, such a heroic image suddenly appeared on the screen.
His hippie smiley face and mouth are still broken, and he is a man in the play.
Obviously, he is a small person, but it is like opening a goldfinger to save the big times.
During that time, this kind of legendary period drama often dominated the screen in the golden file, and was very popular with mother-in-law and aunt.
These scenes were all filmed by Guo Jingyu, and the male protagonists were also Yang Zhigang.
With the hits of "Iron Pear Blossom" and "General", Yang Zhigang became popular.
"Dog Stick" and "Fire Blue Blade" made him reach the peak of popularity, and then received controversy from the outside world.
The lines are not good and the face is paralyzed, everything is the same, not tall and handsome, but can frequently play the male number one.
The point is that he acts like a fool, especially talking, and there is no difference between him and a fool.
After many media know that the director is his brother, they say that he is a relationship household and a resource café.
In this regard, Guo Jingyu replied: "Bring Yang Zhigang with you when filming, this is my principle, and it has nothing to do with anything else."
Because he knew that the "explosion" left a lot of sequelae for his brother.
Although the physical wounds recovered quickly, no difference could be seen.
Mentally, Yang Zhigang could not walk out of the shadows and was diagnosed with mild depression.
He is constantly depressed, doubts about his own value, and even feels a sudden loss of ability to work and lack of concentration.
At such a juncture, how could Guo Jingyu abandon him.
Stutter and speak slowly, and if you can't remember the lines, you will slowly memorize them.
Therefore, there is Yang Zhigang's performance style of slowly swallowing lines, and he has achieved his own unique performance characteristics.
As soon as I turned on the TV and listened, I knew that he was acting.
In 2014, Yang Zhigang and Du Ruoxi starred in "Braveheart".
In the play, the two kiss a lot, and Du Ruoxi's husband Yan Yikuan just happened to come to visit the class again, which made Yang Zhigang very embarrassed.
However, whenever the shooting starts, Yan Yikuan will always go out for a run in time, which is very eye-catching.
Du Ruoxi also learned through this cooperation that Yang Zhigang's private personality and the contrast on the screen are very large, and he has very few words in private and is very introverted.
In 2015, Yang Zhigang and Yang Zi collaborated on a new play "The Great Song of The Great Yang".
This is the first time he has cooperated with the post-90s, and Yang Zi's funny and funny also makes him feel the generation gap.
Once, during a kissing scene, he asked his assistant for two pieces of gum and was about to give Yang Zi a piece of embarrassment.
Only to see Yang Zi smile and say, Brother Zhigang, I have already chewed it. The girl was generous and shy of herself.
When Yang Zi's parents came to visit the class, Yang Zhigang specially invited her family to dinner.
When I asked, I knew that Yang Zi's father was not a few years younger than him, but he was kissing with his daughter, and he was instantly ashamed.
After Yang Zi became acquainted with him, he also said that when he first started working together, he felt that he was very serious, and the two were judged on the screen.
Only he himself knew that talking less was nothing more than an umbrella for himself.
The last time Yang Zhigang appeared in front of the public, it was because he participated in the acting variety show "Actors Please Take Place".
After leaving his brother Guo Jingyu, Yang Zhigang stood in front of the spotlight for the first time and was judged for his acting skills.
Young audiences naturally dislike his stereotyped performances, and he has gained more spit than praise on this journey.
But every actor has an audience, and Yang Zhigang's audience is those elderly who do not go online and watch the golden file in front of the TV.
They can keep up with Yang Zhigang's speed of speech, like to watch his plays, and even know his name.
For an actor, that's enough.
Today's Yang Zhigang is still working hard to shoot.
On his social platform, the new drama has been completed, but the director of this play is not Guo Jingyu.
Perhaps, this is also a fact that the audience ignores:
It is not that Yang Zhigang cannot do without Guo Jingyu, but Guo Jingyu cannot do without Yang Zhigang.
The younger brother is doing well, and the older brother can dissolve the demons in his heart.
At the age of 5, I can't protect you, and I'm willing to escort you for the rest of my life.
