Wu Gang, who has been in the entertainment industry for decades, has always been a "familiar face".
Many people who see him on the screen will feel that this face is often seen, but they can't call his name for a while.
This is the typical "drama red people are not red".
But it is undeniable that Wu Gang is an excellent film and television actor.
He started as a carpenter and electrician before entering show business.
Along the way, through countless hardships, he has realized his "actor dream" step by step.
For more than 30 years since his debut, he has dedicated many excellent film and television drama works such as "Trident", "Female High and Low", "Cannon Double Lights", "Tonight No One Testifies", "Provincial Party Secretary" and so on, and has created countless classic roles on the screen.
Emotionally, he has never gossiped, nor hyped, and has always been down-to-earth, duty-oriented, and simple.
After ending his 15-year marriage with his ex-wife Zhao Ying, he chose to live with Chen Jin, who pursues "unmarried and infertile" doctrine, and has been with him for more than 20 years.
His life is a little confusing but wonderful.
I grew up with an actor's dream
Wu Gang was born in 1960 in Qingdao, Shandong Province, to a literary and artistic family, whose parents were actors in the Military Cultural and Labor Troupe.
Under the influence of this strong artistic atmosphere since Wu Gang was a child, he planted a seed of "actor's dream" in his heart early.
It's just that this seed has not yet had time to "take root and sprout", and it has fallen in the middle of the road.
For historical reasons, his parents were sent from the literary troupe to a remote rural area.
Since then, little Wu Gang has lived a life of sunrise and sunset with his parents.
In addition to helping his parents with housework every day, he also had to take care of his younger siblings.
Although his daily life is very tiring and boring, the "fire of art" in his heart has never been extinguished.
In 1976, at the age of 16, Wu Gang entered a shipyard at the behest of his parents and started carpentry.
It didn't take long, because I was really not interested, I jumped to Qingdao Ocean Company to work as an electrician.
During his two years as an electrician, two things happened that touched him a lot.
One was that his own work mistake led to an "accident": Wu Gang made a mistake in operation on the deck and released the emergency lifeboat.
As a result, the lifeboat and all the containers on it were all damaged, and the company that shipped it back to Hong Kong was barely repaired at a great cost.
The leader saw him as a novice, and although he was not punished, it made him feel very remorseful and felt that he was not the material for this industry.
The second thing, he went to pull the electric gate with his wet hand and was electrocuted, making him turn around at Yama's grandfather and pick up a life.
Through these two things, Wu Gang slowly had the idea of leaving there in his heart.
Finally, this opportunity came.
In 1979, the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts enrolled in Qingdao, and Wu Gang did not hesitate to sign up after learning about it.
During the exam, Wu Gang performed a skit called "Riding on the Joy and Returning home from the Bad Luck".
During the performance, Wu Gang deeply impressed the judges with his exquisite physical movements, deep and solid line skills, super appeal, coupled with his decent and masculine image, and was finally successfully admitted.
He became a classmate with actors such as Liu Peiqi and Wu Ruofu.
This will be the place where Wu Gang dreamed of setting sail.
Career love can't be both
The People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts implements militarized management, and the school's requirements are particularly strict.
It is also thanks to this cultural atmosphere that Wu Gang's acting skills have made great progress and precipitation in the four years of study, laying a good foundation for future performances on the stage.
After graduation, Wu Gang was assigned to the Bayi Film Studio, and he came here with his first wife, Zhao Ying.
At the Bayi Film Studio, Wu Gang made his screen debut by playing a "cadre's son" in "Camel Grass".
After that, he successively filmed many excellent works with good reputations such as "Wu Sangui and Chen Yuanyuan", "I am waiting for you in heaven", "Xia Minghan", "Black Dragonfly", etc., which was also a little famous in the circle at that time.
Because Wu Gang has sword eyebrows, red lips, a face that is not angry and arrogant, a dignified and solemn demeanor, and a domineering and upright atmosphere, most of the characters he plays in the play are decent characters.
He also attracted countless young girls with his superb acting skills and handsome appearance, including Zhao Ying.
Zhao Ying is 2 years older than Wu Gang, and when the two fell in love, they were already the eldest young people who were about to run three.
After a few years of falling in love, in 1988, they entered the palace of marriage.
After marriage, Wu Gang and Zhao Ying lived in a small apartment of only a few square meters in the unit.
Zhao Ying cleaned up the house, made a meal every day and waited for Wu Gang to come home from work, washed and cooked and cleaned, never said tired.
Wu Gang is also very distressed about Zhao Ying, and she is humble everywhere in her life, doing his best to give her care and warmth.
Although the house is small, the hearts of the two people have always been hot.
It's just that this warm and sweet life didn't last long.
Because of the relationship between filming, the two began to perform all over the country and lived a life of gathering less and leaving more.
Later, Zhao Ying conformed to the trend of the times at that time, resigned and went to the sea to do business, and was even busier than day and night.
So that the feelings of the two people are getting weaker and weaker, from love to affection, and even married for 15 years without even having a child.
Finally, during an argument, Zhao Ying said that she did not plan to have children in this life.
Wu Gang was discouraged after hearing this, and turned away, the last straw finally crushed the 15-year-long marriage.
The breakdown of Wu Gang and Zhao Ying's marriage was a stir at the time.
Many people believe that the point of disagreement between the two is not on the issue of "wanting children", but that it is Speculation that Chen Jin's intervention led to the final parting of the way.
Is this really the case?
Meet Chen Jin so far
In fact, saying that Chen Jin intervened was by no means a fabrication.
As early as 2002, Wu Gang and Chen Jin co-produced "Seventeen Days of Life and Death" together, and the two played a husband and wife in the play.
In life, the two have also been photographed traveling, shopping, watching movies, and eating together many times, most of which are things that couples will do.
Speaking of Chen Jin, she is by no means a nameless person, although she is 4 years younger than Wu Gang, but her seniority and fame in the entertainment industry are even worse than Wu Gang.
Early on, he won heavyweight awards such as the Huabiao Award, the Golden Rooster Award, and the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress.
Moreover, Chen Jin and his brother Chen Zhun have always pursued the doctrine of "no marriage and no fertility", which has also caused some criticism in society.
But it was such a person who deeply attracted Wu Gang.
If Wu Gang chose to divorce because Zhao Ying could not give him children, then there was no chance to be with Chen Jin, who was unmarried and infertile.
In addition, Chen Jin's appearance is not the kind of big beauty who has flowing eyes and Gu Panshenghui, and in the entertainment circle, it can only be regarded as a mediocre posture, at least Zhao Ying is not worse than her.
Therefore, everyone's feelings for Wu Gang were once very puzzling, and even felt that the two must have risen on a whim and would not last long.
Unexpectedly, the two have been together for more than twenty years.
Even if they have entered the year of the flower armor, they are also affectionate, supporting and taking care of each other all the way.
There is no such certificate, but there has always been love.
There are no children, but there is always happiness.
Compared with those families who have a marriage contract but live a life of chicken and dog, and have children and daughters but constantly quarrel, why not always be happy?
As the saying goes: shoes are worn on one's feet, whether they fit or not, only one knows
For the feelings of Wu Gang and Chen Jin, although there are many places that we do not understand, we still send them deep blessings.
