Some people ask, what is the best proof of acting skills for a villain? Answer: Scolded miserably.
Many post-80s and post-90s, the villains who are most impressed by mention are indispensable to "Grandma Rong", and some people say that she is a "childhood shadow".
Once, Li Mingqi was thrown eggs because of playing "Grandma Rong", went out to buy vegetables, was refused to take a taxi by the driver, and even her grandson did not want her to pick her up and drop off from school, for fear of being recognized by others. Some parents even said this when they frightened their children: "If you don't obey any more, I will hand you over to Grandma Rong..."
However, who would have thought that Li Mingqi, who has played countless classic villain roles, is a completely opposite person in life?
Over the years, Li Mingqi has starred in more than 80 film and television dramas such as "Town Premier", "Wusheng Taidou", "Life Feelings", "Xiaodunzi", "Double-sided Glue", "Poplar Woman", "Male Matchmaker" and so on. She has created countless screen classics, and with her own "bad", she has set off the good of countless people.
01
In 1936, Li Mingqi was born in Dandong City, Liaoning Province, her parents are ordinary workers, she is the eldest daughter of the family, and there are 4 younger siblings below.
When she was 10 years old, her father fell seriously ill, and the family was too poor to be cured, and finally died. And she also suffered from lymph node tuberculosis because of poverty and lack of nutrition, which actually accompanied her for 30 years. In severe cases, the high fever does not go away, which is very torturous.
The year my father died, my mother was only 37 years old, pulling 5 daughters alone, supporting her family by carrying boxes, and often too poor to eat.
In order to reduce the burden on her mother, Li Mingqi dropped out of school before the second grade of primary school, and at the age of 11, she entered her mother's factory as a child laborer.
In those years, she pasted matchboxes, picked soybeans, and worked as a cleaner when it was hardest.
Even if life is very difficult, Li Mingqi has always been very optimistic, loves to sing when there is nothing to do, and she is born with a good voice and is famous in the surrounding area.
In 1954, Li Mingqi went to participate in the Harbin Railway Bureau's literary and artistic performance, and did not expect to win the first prize.
Since then, Li Mingqi's fate has been rewritten, and she has been transferred to the China Railway Literary and Labor Troupe Song and Dance Troupe to sing bel canto and start a life of north drift.

A few years after arriving in Beijing, Li Mingqi took all the "old and weak" in his family to the collective dormitory in Beijing and began to support his family alone.
Not long after, Li Mingqi met her current husband, a middle school teacher. At that time, Li Mingqi said to him: "Our family has a large family to support, and it will be like this after marriage. ”
The other party replied: "I am not such a small and childish person." ”
After marriage, life is still difficult, but the relationship between the two is very good, and the ordinary husband has given Li Mingqi a lot of support in his career and life.
However, due to long-term malnutrition, Li Mingqi's lymph tuberculosis recurred. Due to health reasons, Li Mingqi applied for a job in a drama troupe.
In the next 20 years, she acted in more than 40 plays and won the highest award in the drama industry. However, as the drama became more and more sluggish, she turned to the film and television industry, from a protagonist of a drama to a supporting role in a TV series.
In 1986, Li Mingqi played an old lady in "Plainclothes Police", which was well received as soon as it was broadcast, and Li Mingqi, who acted for the first time, was also recognized by the audience for his acting skills.
After that, she has a good performance in dramas such as "Town Prime Minister", "Life Feelings", "Little Pier", etc., but she plays the villain most of the time.
In 1998, Li Mingqi played "Grandma Rong" in "Huan Zhu Gege" and became a household star. She was 62 years old.
Li Mingqi, who became famous for "Mama Rong", suffered an unprecedented attack.
Groceries were pointed out by small traders, and even some people threw eggs at her, "This is the bad Rong Mama"; when taking a taxi, the driver asked her if she was Rong Mama, and after getting a positive reply, the driver looked annoyed: "I knew it was you, I wouldn't take you." The grandson did not let her pick her up and drop off at school, saying that he was afraid that his classmates would recognize That Grandma Rong was his grandmother; and even many parents said when their children were disobedient, "If you don't obey anymore, Grandma Rong will take a needle to prick you..."
In fact, everyone misunderstood her.

Years later, Li Mingqi revealed the real scene of filming Rong Mama's needle: "They are all little girls around 20 years old, where can I bear to really prick them!" I was all needles pointed at the palm of my hand, and my face was performing hard, and the needle did not blow up the children at all. ”
When filming "Mama Rong" slapping herself, Li Mingqi also smoked his face fiercely, and the next day his face was swollen.
There is also a plot, Erkang in order to save people, directly step on the door to enter, standing behind the door Rong Mama was suddenly knocked by the door to the ground, headache is terrible, but she refused to go to the hospital, but insisted on finishing the scene, because she did not want the crew to wait for her...
It is because Grandma Rong has done many evils and is sinister and cunning, so she has set off Ziwei, Xiaoyanzi, Jinsuo and others as incomparably simple and kind. If there is no contrast between good and evil, I am afraid that the 3 of them will not be popular for decades. Unfortunately, the situation of the 3 people today is lamentable.

In fact, Lee Ming-chi is a very kind person. When filming in the play, she will take the leftovers away to the stray cats and dogs to eat.
After a play, she raised more than 30 stray animals. Such a habit, as soon as she insisted, was more than 20 years.
When there are unopened box lunches, Li Mingqi will bring them to the tramp, and she will ask very intimately: "I have a box lunch here that has not been touched, if you are not disgusted, I will give it to you to eat!" ”
With a smile between his words, he took great care not to hurt the homeless man's self-esteem.
In his spare time, Li Mingqi also likes to go to the orphanage to take care of the children and give them some help within their ability.
Today, Li Mingqi, who is 85 years old, often takes the bus when he goes out and greets the driver warmly.
Even the driver said: "If you want to meet Teacher Li Mingqi, come and take my bus, she often takes it." ”
I have to say that li Mingqi, an old drama bone, is a veritable old artist with both virtue and art.
