She is a professional mother on the screen, but her son has never appeared when she was seriously ill.
She is recognized by the public as "ugly", and her husband is outstanding in appearance but does not abandon her.
She is the "ugly lady" Zhang Shaohua, a famous old drama bone who chose to be an actor at the age of 40 and finally won the Magnolia Award.

Compared with other old drama bones, Zhang Shaohua's body is always surrounded by a lot of controversy.
Before his death, he was accused of "doing no evil" when he was young, and after his death, he continued to scold under the weibo of his friends' mourning.
What did Zhang Shaohua do to carry the infamy all his life? How did the husband Zhang Huibao give his wife "immortal love"?
Let's walk into Zhang Shaohua together: marrying Zhang Huibao is the only right decision I have ever made.
One
30 days after Zhang Shaohua's death, her husband, Zhang Huibao, sent a microblog in memory.
For the rumors, he responded with four words "the clean person cleans himself", hoping to leave a clean slate behind the deceased.
At the end of the article, Zhang Huibao said sincerely: "Wife! Love you! ”
This was the first time in Zhang Huibao's life that she said the word "love" to Zhang Shaohua, but she would never hear it.
In 1946, in the turbulent era when New China had not yet been founded, Zhang Shaohua was born.
She wasn't the only child in the family, there were nine children up and down the family.
Although Zhang Shaohua grew up at the foot of the Imperial City, their lives could not be called rich.
A family of dozens of people lived in a small bungalow of more than a dozen square meters, and eating, drinking, and sleeping in this space of less than 20 square meters.
The mother is at home with her children to cook, and the family relies on the father alone to earn money to support.
When Zhang Shaohua was 3 years old, her father died of illness, leaving only her lonely mother and a group of children who did not understand things.
Among them, Zhang Shaohua's youngest brother was less than three months old at the time.
The family's only source of income fell, and the burden of supporting the family fell on the mother.
With so much money to make and take care of so many children, the mother was really overwhelmed, so she sent several children to the older generation.
Even so, the mother was still powerless.
Sometimes mothers can't take care of so many children, so they take care of the younger ones.
As an older sister, Zhang Shaohua took on the heavy responsibility of taking care of her younger brother at a very young age.
Once, his brother was crying incessantly, and Zhang Shaohua thought that maybe he was hungry and was ready to pick him up and feed him.
Just standing up, Zhang Shaohua's feet were unstable, and he stumbled and threw his brother heavily on the ground.
The sudden impact made his brother's cry pause for a moment, and he cried out incessantly after the reaction.
The mother rushed to see the scene in front of her, and she couldn't help but say that she grabbed the fire shelf with the coal ball and hit Zhang Shaohua hard.
This is just a fragment of Zhang Shaohua's childhood, and her childhood is really not called "happiness".
At that time, one of the things that made Zhang Shaohua happiest was that after his mother's salary came down, the family occasionally made a meal of fried sauce noodles with meat foam.
In order for the whole family to eat, the mother would put two large spoonfuls of salt in the sauce. The taste is bad, and everyone eats less.
No way, life is too hard.
Although Zhang Shaohua was not beaten when she was a child, and her life was bitter, in her heart, her mother was still a "god person".
The ability, hard work, and life wisdom forced out by the times in his mother have all become the nourishment for Zhang Shaohua's future fame as a "mother professional household".
After becoming famous, Zhang Shaohua recalled her mother on the show, saying:
"It's not easy for a mother to raise 9 children by herself, and I can jump into the river by twisting my face on my body."
With the idea of sharing the pressure for his mother, Zhang Shaohua went to the theater alone early to study drama.
When it is not dawn, I get up to practice, and when I sleep at night, my clothes are soaked with sweat, and I can squeeze hard and wring out the water.
Zhang Shaohua repeated this life every day, and finally officially became a member of the critic theater a few years later, and had his own source of income.
It was also during her work in the critics theater that Zhang Shaohua met the good man who entrusted her to life.
Two
Zhang Shaohua was too busy with work to come home often, but whenever she went home, she always brought a lot of things that her mother loved to eat.
Then accompany the mother to nag, and wash the mother's feet before going to bed.
Since going to the theater to study drama at the age of 13, Zhang Shaohua has rarely returned home to live.
At first, it was because there were many people in the family, in order to save the family expenses, then it was busy at work and there was no time to go back.
Zhang Huibao, like Zhang Shaohua, is also a member of the critics theater.
The two were in the same theater, usually looking down and not looking up, and they became good friends who talked about everything.
Zhang Huibao's home is in the northeast, and the theater is his home in Beijing.
But what made him wonder was that Zhang Shaohua's home was in Beijing, not far from the theater, why she also lived in the theater.
Knowing Zhang Shaohua's family situation and the reason why she did not go home, Zhang Huibao was very distressed about this strong girl, and gradually developed the idea of taking care of her.
People of that era were thin-skinned, and it was difficult to say love and love.
Zhang Huibao himself is still a stuffy gourd, and it is difficult for him to confess to the girl.
His mouth never said it explicitly, but his thoughts about Zhang Shaohua were all hidden in action.
Once Zhang Shaohua had a cold, coughing and snot constantly.
But she was reluctant to spend money to see a doctor, and she dragged it all the way to a high fever.
It just so happened that her roommates in the same room were out of trouble, and she was lying alone in bed, feeling weak.
As if sensing it, zhang Huibao suddenly wanted to go to Zhang Shaohua to play this day.
He knocked lightly on the door of Zhang Shaohua's bedroom a few times, only to hear Zhang Shaohua's weak tone of voice, "Please come in."
He looked at Zhang Shaohua, whose face was flushed, and his heart giggled, and he raised his hand to test her body temperature.
At that moment, Zhang Huibao did not have time to think about what "there is a difference between men and women" and "men and women are not intimate", so he carried Zhang Shaohua on his back and ran to the hospital.
Taking advantage of Zhang Shaohua's infusion, Zhang Huibao trotted all the way back to the dormitory and boiled a pot of Eight Treasures Porridge for her to supplement her body.
Worried that the porridge was cold, Zhang Huibao wrapped the porridge tightly in his arms, until he saw Zhang Shaohua, and then carefully took it out of his arms like a treasure.
Looking at the steaming Eight Treasures Porridge and the breathless Zhang Huibao, Zhang Shaohua understood that he would be planted in his hands for the rest of his life.
In this way, the two people's intentions for each other are self-evident.
As each other's first love, the two fell in love for a year and met their parents.
The first time I saw Zhang Shaohua's mother, Zhang Huibao had no experience and went empty-handed with a head.
Fortunately, Zhang Shaohua's mother is a reasonable person, and she did not hold on to the other party because of this.
After a simple meal, the mother touched Zhang Huibao's temperament and quietly said "good benefits" to her daughter Zhang Shaohua.
With the approval of their mother, the two entered the palace of marriage hand in hand.
No nice wedding photos and no formal weddings.
After only a hasty permit, the two formed a new home in the house allocated by the unit.
When he was young, Zhang Huibao looked good, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a "handsome man".
On the contrary, Zhang Shaohua's appearance is a bit unsatisfactory, and her long-term malnutrition has left her full of yellow hair and thin bones.
The two stood together on the street, and neither of them felt a good match.
Zhang Huibao did not think much of this, and whenever others talked about it, he would deal with the past with a sentence of "the lover's eyes are out of the west".
The two do not look like a good match, but their personalities are unexpectedly suitable.
Zhang Shaohua is a straight-forward character, saying whatever he wants, and will not hide it for others to guess.
And Zhang Huibao's worst is guessing what women are thinking, and she will not say nice words to make people happy, and will only be good to you in action.
Zhang Shaohua lost his father at a young age, and when he grew up, he left home early in order to supplement his family, and rarely felt warmth. Zhang Huibao's style of being able to do it without nagging gave Zhang Shaohua a solid sense of security.
At the same time, the bitter experience from childhood has made Zhang Shaohua have a gentle personality and emotional stability.
Zhang Huibao was a little grumpy, others had not yet reacted, his anger had already risen three feet high.
Whenever Zhang Huibao's temper came up, Zhang Shaohua would calm him very gently, and no matter how big Ren's temper was, he couldn't get out at the moment.
One is not good at words, one is gentle and tenacious.
Zhang Huibao has never said a word "I love you", but life is full of evidence of love.
Three
In 1988, Zhang Shaohua was 42 years old and was about to reach retirement age.
She has been active on stage all her life and simply cannot bear to live without a care in retirement.
Coincidentally, she received an offer from the TV series.
At an age when she was supposed to enjoy her old age, she chose to start over in a different way.
Of course, filming is not at all easier than shooting stage plays, and even faces more dangers.
Hanging Weah, soaking in cold water... These are all new challenges for the elderly Zhang Shaohua.
But she was never afraid.
The director wanted to shoot a scene of beggars begging for money, and she took the initiative to ask to go to the street to really beg.
She prostrated herself in tattered clothes in the crowd, without any dignity to speak of.
In a scene of 92 lines, she forced herself to memorize them all, and slapped her mouth if she didn't act well.
From the old witch who flashed by in "Wuyi Immortal World" to the tragic heroine in "Ugly Lady".
From the small supporting role without a single line, to standing on the podium holding the "best actress" with tears in her eyes.
At the age of nearly fifty, she started from running dragon sets and climbed step by step to the position of heroine.
Best Actress, Top 10 Actress, Lifetime Achievement Actor Award... Zhang Shaohua used his strength to prove what is meant by "the sword is not old".
In 2005, this year, Zhang Shaohua won the first "Magnolia Award" in her life, and also lost the only mother in her life.
The awards and funerals were held the day before and after, and the family advised Zhang Shaohua to accept the award, but she felt that this was the last period of time she accompanied her mother, and she refused to go at all.
Compared to best actress, she is first and foremost the daughter of her mother.
After his mother left, Zhang Huibao became Zhang Shaohua's only reliance.
It is said that "people are not too many", even Zhang Shaohua is no exception.
In 2017, Zhang Shaohua at this time has become famous as a "mother professional household".
In May, Wu Huan, a well-known painter, said on Weibo that Zhang Shaohua had crippled his mother when he was young, leaving her in a wheelchair for the rest of her life.
As soon as this Microblog came out, netizens have fried the pot, is it difficult to become an old drama bone Zhang Shaohua can also "overturn" in his later years?
Wu Huan's mother, xin fengxia, is one of the most popular figures in the Chinese drama critics.
Her husband, Wu Zuguang, was born in Xiangmendi, and her father Wu Ying and Qi Baishi often painted together.
Xin Fengxia was very pleased with Qi Baishi, and the husband and wife both recognized him as a dry father.
Not only that, Qi Baishi also took her as an apprentice and personally taught her to draw.
During the ten years of turmoil, her husband Wu Zuguang was beaten to the right and sent to the distant Northern Wilderness.
Originally, Xin Fengxia and Wu Zuguang could escape this disaster by divorcing, but the two had a deep affection, and Xin Fengxia had to wait for her husband to return no matter what.
In this way, Xin Fengxia was also regarded as an outlier and became one of the objects of criticism.
Fortunately, Xin Fengxia was not beaten to the right, and although she had to endure some gossip, she could still stand on the stage she loved and be an actress.
Her husband is gone, xin Fengxia is alone with her children, living a difficult life, accepting the cold eyes of others during the day, and worrying at night, afraid that some bad guys will plot against her.
During that time, Xinfengxia was on the verge of collapse every day.
The only thing that can support her to live is not only the young child in her arms, but also the lover who is transformed in the Northern Wilderness.
After three years of suffering in this inhuman life, Xin Fengxia finally hoped for the stars and the moon to come to her husband Wu Zuguang.
But the family had not been reunited for a few days, and Wu Zuguang was pulled out again to criticize the fight.
This time, Xin Fengxia could not escape this fate.
In 1966, a group of unknown people broke into Xin Fengxia's home, grabbed a stick and slammed it on her, leaving her permanently disabled.
In response, Xin Fengxia's children publicly identified Zhang Shaohua decades later as one of the murderers who maimed his mother.
Wu Huan on the front foot just tweeted, and Zhang Shaohua on the back foot sent a microblog to defend himself.
Zhang Shaohua said that she did go to Xin Fengxia's home at that time, but she was not the one who beat people, but received orders from her superiors to stop the ongoing violent raids and count the items in her home.
For this matter, Xin Fengxia clearly recorded it in her memoirs.
The text describes that when raiding the house, Xin Fengxia used a single male "he".
This is enough to prove that Zhang Shaohua did not participate in the violent raid on his home, nor did it directly cause Xin Fengxia to be paralyzed.
Despite the truth, Zhang Shaohua was still subjected to online violence from all sides.
Because although Zhang Shaohua did not raid the house, he took away the precious Qi Bai stone calligraphy paintings in Xin Fengxia's home, and they are still missing.
For this, Xin Fengxia also recorded in her memoirs in its original version, and explicitly mentioned Zhang Shaohua's name.
But Zhang Shaohua was also acting according to the leader's orders at that time, in that special era, the father and son were still opposed, not to mention not to expect any compassion between people who were ignorant of life.
It was a cannibalistic era, where everyone was eating people and everyone was a victim.
Unfortunately, netizens will not care about you.
In 2017, Zhang Shaohua was already in his seventies at this time, but the rumors and insults on the Internet forced this white-haired old man to dare not go out.
Zhang Shaohua is a person with shallow family affection, who has not enjoyed the love of his father, and has not been well accompanied by his son after he was born.
Fortunately, her husband Zhang Huibao has been with her.
During that time, Zhang Huibao accompanied Zhang Shaohua day and night, talking with her and watching TV dramas, afraid that as soon as she was quiet, she would think more.
It is said that raising children to prevent old age, but in Zhang Shaohua's view, finding the right husband is more effective than the son.
Four
After marrying Zhang Huibao, Zhang Shaohua quickly gave birth to a big fat boy for him.
Since both husband and wife work in the theater, they do not leave home when they are busy.
In the northeast of Zhang Huibao's hometown, grandma could not come to take care of it.
Therefore, Zhang Shaohua's children grew up in their grandmother's parents.
Every weekend, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Shaohua would go to his grandmother's house to see the children, and would also sell him delicious buns to make him happy.
After all, the delicious bun can not compete with the company of parents, and if you miss that time, you will never come back.
When he was a teenager, Zhang Shaohua took the child to his side.
Mother and son are obviously blood relatives, but they always feel a faint film when they get along.
For the son, the "mother" is just a symbol, just a "stranger" who is a little closer than other relatives.
After growing up, his son was admitted to Tsinghua University and achieved some achievements with his own efforts.
Zhang Shaohua is old, but the child is busy with work and rarely goes home to see.
During the time when Zhang Shaohua was hospitalized, the media photographed her wife Zhang Huibao rushing to accompany her bed with food, and she never saw her son.
Even Yang Zhigang came more often than her son.
Yang Zhigang and Zhang Shaohua met because of filming, when they were young, their mother was not in good health, he was passed on to his uncle, and he rarely saw his own mother.
During filming, Yang Zhigang and Zhang Shaohua saw each other as they were, and felt the long-lost maternal love in her.
After getting along for a while, Yang Zhigang solemnly gave her three kowtows and recognized her as a dry mother.
When she was sick, Yang Zhigang served around like his own son, which touched her.
On March 23, 2021, Zhang Shaohua closed his eyes forever.
Many celebrities, including Yang Zhigang, sent condolences, and Wu Huan, who once identified Zhang Shaohua for injuring his mother, also sent a tribute at this moment.
But even the bitter lord himself had already put it down, and the controversy surrounding Zhang Shaohua refused to dissipate for a long time.
In a Weibo post commemorating Zhang Shaohua, Jia Ling referred to him as "Sir."
Many netizens said that the things she did did were not worthy of being called "sir", and some radical netizens ignored the "dead are big" and insulted jia ling's Weibo.
Zhang Huibao could not bear the fact that after the death of his wife, he was still talked about, and specially sent a Microblog that "the cleaner cleans himself" and wanted to say two words for his wife.
Since Zhang Shaohua's death, Zhang Huibao has been tea all day without thinking about food.
The son has repeatedly expressed his desire to take him to live in a high-end community, but he has never left the old bungalow where he has been with his wife for decades.
Zhang Huibao knew that his wife's favorite thing was to shoot, and his biggest regret when he died was that he could not wait for his work to start broadcasting.
In 2022, a year after Zhang Shaohua's death, "Braveheart" was released.
Zhang Huibao could not hide his excitement, and specially sent a Microblog to comfort his wife's spirit in heaven.
Decades of ups and downs, decades of love.
Zhang Huibao's stupid mouth will not say "I love you", but the love has long been conveyed through the mouth to the other party's heart.
