Recently, because of the epidemic, many cities have implemented strict epidemic prevention measures, and many celebrities can only stay at home and cannot go out to work.
In this case, some celebrities actively responded to the epidemic prevention policy and went out of their homes to become epidemic prevention volunteers in the community, such as actors Chen Long, Yuan Yongyi, host Fang Qiong and so on.
Among these star volunteers, 50-year-old actor Zhang Yonggang is also impressively listed.
He posted a video of himself as an epidemic prevention volunteer on the social platform, and also introduced other volunteers to netizens. As can be seen from the video, he has a good relationship with the other volunteers and does not have a bit of a star shelf.
Speaking of the name Zhang Yonggang, many people may feel strange, even if his stage name "Kuroko" is mentioned, there may be some people who have a vague impression of him.
However, if you mention the roles he has played, I believe that many people will think of his face:
He is the villain "Heavenless Buddha" in "Journey to the West", the "Let Me Go" in "Laughing proud of the jianghu", and the "Naturu" in "Hitting the Dog Stick"...
Zhang Yonggang has been an actor for 27 years, and has also created a lot of classic screen images, for a low-key he never engages in marketing or hype, so few people know that his life road is full of hardships and bumps.
On May 11, 1971, Zhang Yonggang was born in a peasant family in Anshan, Liaoning Province, with four older sisters, and he was not only the youngest child in the family, but also the only boy in the family.
In order to provide food, clothing and housing for several children, parents work all day facing the loess with their backs to the sky, but in such a family that has nothing to do with literature and art, Zhang Yonggang is fascinated by Peking Opera.
At the age of 10, Zhang Yonggang entered the world of Peking Opera as he wished and began to learn Peking Opera. He worked very hard, and his mind was on Peking Opera, and parents saw that their children were so obsessed and thought that it was always good to learn more, so they didn't say anything.
In 1983, Zhang Yonggang was 12 years old, and this year he was admitted to the Anshan Peking Opera House.
Zhang Yonggang was overjoyed, but his parents' hearts were very complicated.
Let's not say whether the family has the money to pay tuition, Zhang Yonggang is the only boy in the family, several sisters have married out when they grow up, their parents are gradually getting old, and the family's land always has to be managed.
The idea for rural people is simple, to raise their sons strong and then do farm work at home.
But the father also understands that the child will have a better future when he goes out and wanders, and if he guards the land at home, then the son will only be a farmer for the rest of his life.
What's more, Zhang Yonggang said that he would go to the Anshan Peking Theater.
With such a complicated mood, his parents silently packed zhang Yonggang's luggage, and his mother made a new pair of shoes for Zhang Yonggang, and also boiled two hot boiled eggs, afraid that they would become cold and carefully put them in the shoes.
After everything was packed, my father threw it out.
Zhang Yonggang understood that his father wanted him to leave, but he did not want him to leave, so he replied to him in this awkward way.
Picking up the luggage on the ground, Zhang Yonggang silently walked out of the house and went to the Peking Opera House to study.
The students of the Peking Opera Theater are all from the city, and Zhang Yonggang is the only rural person, but he does not feel inferior because of this, but uses the sincerity and simplicity unique to the countryside to get along with every classmate.
Occasionally, his mother would come to see him and bring him a lot of freshly knotted buds in the field.
Zhang Yonggang naturally could not eat alone, he kindly distributed the bud rice to other students, but he did not expect to be rejected by them.
The students thought that the bud rice was fed to pigs, which made Zhang Yonggang very sad.
He secretly swore that he must work harder, get ahead in the Peking Opera circle, and earn a lot of money to go back to honor his parents.
Zhang Yonggang kept working hard at the Peking Opera House, and he also had many opportunities to perform on stage.
Every time he sang flower face, his face was covered with thick oil paint, which was not an uncomfortable feeling, but Zhang Yonggang felt very happy.
What he didn't know was that he could continue to study at the Peking Opera Theater, all because his parents had worked hard to buy it with blood and sweat.
Several sisters are married, he is also studying outside the home, there are only two parents left in the family, and all the farm work can only be done by the two of them.
During the busy period of farming, working day and night made them tired and unable to stand up straight, but they could not stop, because Zhang Yonggang's tuition at the Peking Opera House was a big expense.
But the peasants are dependent on the sky to eat, the income is not fixed, sometimes it is really impossible to make up for the tuition, Zhang Yonggang's father gritted his teeth, he ran to the hospital to sell blood for money.
One night when Zhang Yonggang was fourteen or fifteen years old, his mother returned from farm work as usual.
It was raining heavily, and she and her husband went to collect the crops and worked until late when they came home.
Perhaps exhausted, she sat down and closed her eyes to rest, her head tilted, slammed into the wall next to her, and never woke up again.
Upon receiving the news, Zhang Yonggang, who was still at the Beijing Opera House, hurriedly asked for leave and rushed home without stopping.
Entering the bedroom, he saw his mother lying quietly on the bed.
He was also a teenage boy who had never experienced life or death, had no concept of death at all, and just looked at his lying mother in confusion.
Zhang Yonggang asked his mother, "Mom, what's wrong with you?" ”
The mother did not reply.
He touched his mother's hand again, which was cold and did not react when touched lightly.
The second sister on the side couldn't stand it anymore and choked up and said to her brother, "Mother is dead." ”
Zhang Yonggang has been studying Peking Opera for a long time, and he can't distinguish between drama and reality, and he thought for a moment that he was in the drama, all of which was so unreal.
After handling his mother's funeral, he returned to the Peking Opera House like a puppet and continued to study Peking Opera.
As the days passed, he gradually realized that his mother was no longer in this world.
After his mother left, no family would come to visit him, and there were lice on his body, and there was not even a person who said that he was wronged, so he could only silently rub his clothes until they were white.
Zhang Yonggang felt something blocked in his heart, it was very uncomfortable, and he was also very lonely.
To vent this sentiment, he began to write letters to his mother.
Every week, as soon as he had free time, he took out a pen and paper and began to write letters to Heaven's mother, reporting his moments at the Peking Opera:
"Mom, are you okay over there?" I'm fine, and now I'm practicing every day..."
After writing the letter, Zhang Yonggang ran to the balcony alone, drew a match and began to burn the letter.
Zhang Yonggang took the letter in his hand and stared at the flames to gradually engulf the note until his fingertips felt the hot pain.
Because he stubbornly believed that as long as his fingers felt pain, it was his mother who had received his letter to heaven.
In this way, the lonely Zhang Yonggang continued to study at the Peking Opera House until two or three years later, another change befell him.
In fact, in the past few years, his father's health has not been very good, Zhang Yonggang also knows, so he always wants to work harder, practice Peking Opera to make money to go back to subsidize the family, so that his father does not have to work so hard.
But who knows, Father didn't wait for that day to come.
One day, Zhang Yonggang was performing the Peking opera "Zhong Kui Marrying Sister" on stage, and he played Zhong Kui in it.
As he circled the stage, he saw his 4 sisters standing on the side of the curtain, and he saw his brother-in-law looking at him from the other side of the door, and their faces were glowing with tears.
Zhang Yonggang immediately understood that his father had died.
Later, he learned that his father ran to the hospital to sell blood that day in order to pay for his tuition.
The northeast cold of winter was biting, and the father did not pay attention and slipped in the ditch.
He didn't have the strength to stand up, so he lay in the ditch for four or five hours until the villagers and his family found him.
At this time, his breath was already very weak, and it didn't take long for him to die.
Zhang Yonggang had a deep sense of powerlessness, why was he so incompetent?
He painted oil on the stage to play Zhong Kui, but he was not Zhong Kui, and he could not save his father's life.
The brother-in-law didn't ask him to go back right away because he still had the show.
After the three performances, Zhang Yonggang returned home with more than 40 students, came to his father's grave, and sang a piece of "The Case of Beauty" to his father.
Before he was 18 years old, Zhang Yonggang had already lost both of his parents.
He still studied at the Peking Opera House, but he was more reticent than before, and his monthly source of livelihood without his parents was more than 80 yuan issued by the troupe.
The teacher in the group couldn't see it, so he encouraged him to go downstairs to sing in the song hall every night when he was fine.
At first, Zhang Yonggang was reluctant to go, and he wanted to use the evening time to practice.
But the teacher told him that singing in a song hall can earn forty or fifty yuan a day, and it is always good to make more money.
In the end, Zhang Yonggang still went, he temporarily learned a song "Heart Love" and went up to sing, and as a result, he sang this crush love song out of the taste of Peking Opera flower face.
Zhang Yonggang thought that he had messed up the performance, but he did not expect that the audience unexpectedly felt very fresh, not only let him do it again, but also gave him an extra tip.
So his job in the song hall was settled.
In 1994, by chance, Zhang Yonggang and his troupe went to make a cameo appearance as a mass actor.
There, a girl named Rong Rong noticed him.
This girl is on the theater, she asked them about it, and learned that Zhang Yonggang was the flower face of the troupe.
She called Zhang Yonggang over: "Your image is good, how about going to the theater?" ”
Zhang Yonggang rejected her because he preferred to sing Peking Opera.
But this was heard by a teacher in their group, and after returning home, he actively encouraged Zhang Yonggang to go to the drama exam.
Zhang Yonggang couldn't stand the teacher's soft and hard bubbles, so he had to agree.
What he didn't expect was that he was actually admitted to the directing department of the play at one time.
However, this may be Zhang Yonggang's greatest luck during the play, because his life in the play can only be described as despair and bad luck.
At that time, Zhang Yonggang was deceived by more than 40,000 yuan because of his credulity to others, which was all the savings he had saved at that time.
The night he realized that he had been deceived, Zhang Yonggang felt a deep despair,
He stood on the 4th floor of the directing department blowing cold wind, thinking that he would simply jump down for a hundred,
Just at this moment, someone opened the door from behind, and a wind blew Zhang Yonggang back, and also blew his thoughts of taking his own life into the wind.
Another time, he fell asleep on the side of the road and woke up to find that his only valuable bicycle had been stolen.
The second time he had extreme thoughts, he did not realize them because of various coincidences.
After graduating from the drama, he continued to drift in Shanghai, and when he had no drama to shoot, he could only occasionally run and run the dragon suit, and his life was very unhappy.
It was at this time that his destined lover came.
After a performance, the colleagues in the group planned to go to dinner together. Zhang Furong, who was a student at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music at the time, was also inside.
The two of them did not know each other, but Zhang Furong noticed him because of an unusual move.
At the dinner table, Zhang Furong found that Zhang Yonggang had taken an empty plate, filled two spoonfuls in each dish, and then left with a plate full of dishes.
Where is he going? Zhang Furong was a little curious, so she lied that she was going to the bathroom, and then secretly followed.
Walking to the door of the store, Zhang Yonggang actually pushed open the door directly and walked out. Zhang Furong was even more confused and also walked out the door.
It turned out that there was a beggar at the entrance of the store, and Zhang Yonggang saw it when he entered the store.
It was Christmas, the weather was very cold, Zhang Yonggang brought out vegetables to eat for beggars:
"You eat, I'll take the plate away."
Zhang Furong's heart was immediately moved, she did not expect that this man who looked tough on the outside also had such a tender side.
The two met on this day, and then gradually became acquainted in your back-and-forth chat, and soon talked about love.
But in this relationship, Zhang Yonggang always feels very inferior.
He had no drama and no money, but Zhang Furong's future was so bright that he didn't want her to suffer with him.
To this end, the two even broke up, but after the breakup, Zhang Yonggang immediately regretted it and ran to Zhang Furong's house to apologize and pray for forgiveness.
Fortunately, Zhang Yonggang's career did not slump for too long.
In 1995, he stepped into the entertainment industry through the movie "A Thousand Miles of Life and Death", and later appeared frequently in some costume TV series.
Until 2000, a "Journey to the West Sequel" made his villain No. 1 "Heavenless Buddha" remembered by a wide audience.
Zhang Yonggang vividly interpreted this charming villain with flesh and blood, good and evil,
To this day, most people see his face and blurt out the words "Heavenless Buddha."
Zhang Yonggang's career has improved, and he also wants to give his wife an explanation, so he and Zhang Furong received a marriage license.
But in Zhang Yonggang's heart, the money he has earned so far is not enough to give his wife a perfect wedding, so their wedding has been delayed.
However, this can be anxious to spoil the mother-in-law, the certificate is all received, how can you not do the wedding?
In 2009, she said to Zhang Yonggang: "This wedding must be done this year!" ”
Zhang Yonggang also felt that it was unfair to his wife that the wedding was delayed any longer, so he quickly agreed to it, and the two finally completed the belated wedding.
When she was about to enter the auditorium, Zhang Furong asked her husband to read a passage she had written:
Honey, we are about to enter the halls of marriage
Looking back, more than a decade has passed
Know each other and fall in love
There is bitterness and sweetness
No matter how the years test us
We always supported each other, and we didn't give up on each other...
Half of Zhang Yonggang could not read anymore, and he could not cry when he thought of the days when his wife and himself had suffered together in these years.
Zhang Yonggang solemnly vowed in his heart that he would never be separated from his wife in this life.
After marriage, Zhang Furong resolutely gave up her stable job in Shanghai for her husband and followed Zhang Yonggang to Beijing to live.
After the two had a son, she was more at ease to take care of the family at home and acted as Zhang Yonggang's perfect xiannei helper.
Zhang Furong's parents also loved this son-in-law very much, and simply treated him as their own son.
As early as when they were in love, my mother-in-law had heard others talk about Zhang Yonggang's difficulties.
When she knew that Zhang Yong had just come to Shanghai University and had no money to stay in a hotel and could only sleep on the stone, tears had already crept into her eyes.
She felt that this child was so pitiful, the adults in the family died early, and before they could enjoy the love of their parents, they were left alone.
From that moment on, her mother-in-law regarded him as her own child, regarded herself as his mother, and wanted to make up for the maternal love he had missed for so many years.
She did, and after they got married, Zhang Yonggang often came home late for work reasons, sometimes even two or three in the morning.
But no matter how late, the mother-in-law would get up to reheat the meals prepared in the evening and give them to Zhang Yonggang to eat, which made Zhang Yonggang moved.
In 2012, Zhang Yonggang ushered in the second spring of his career with the role of "Natulu" in "Fighting Dog Stick", a role tailored for him by director Guo Jingyu.
Since then, Guo Jingyu has taken him to star in many works directed by himself, and Zhang Yonggang is also well known in the film and television industry for his unique life of acting like what.
Today's Zhang Yonggang is undoubtedly a successful actor, playing a lot of villains, he is jokingly called "villain professional household",
But his life remains low-key, with no marketing, no hype, not even big houses and luxuries that match the fame.
On the contrary, he often returned to the countryside to work during the busy agricultural period, and his technique of breaking bud rice was very skilled, and he also chatted with the surrounding villagers in a rural dialect, looking no different from the peasants who had lived in the countryside all their lives.
Zhang Yonggang's "there is a drama to shoot, no drama to plant" lifestyle has won the praise of many netizens, and everyone has lamented that this is a truly praiseworthy star.
Today's Zhang Yonggang is 51 years old, he has maintained zero scandals after 27 years of debut, the tribulations on the road of life have not been able to defeat him after all, and he also has his own happy family.
