Female celebrities generally marry two kinds of people, one is a peer, one is a rich businessman, especially a popular actress, they have a very high probability of marrying a rich businessman.
But in the 80s, a popular actress at the time chose not to go the usual way, and there was no choice between the above two, she was Wu Yufang.
When she was young, she chose to marry Jiang Jialiang, the world champion of table tennis at the time, and also chose to retreat for the sake of her family, following in her husband's footsteps and going abroad.
During this period, the two have been in love as before, and two love crystals have been born successively.
Until now, when it comes to this couple who have been married for 34 years, people still think of love, which is very rare.
Wu Yufang was born in Shanghai in 1963, and their family is a family of scholars, so Wu Yufang has loved literature and art since she was a child.
At the age of 11, Wu Yufang was admitted to the student class of Shanghai Children's Art Theatre.
Wu Yufang seemed to be active on the stage, although she was still young, but she did not shy away from the stage.
In fact, she enjoyed her time on stage. The applause and encouragement she received at the end of each performance was to accumulate her self-confidence layer by layer.
When she graduated at the age of 16, due to her excellent business and many fairy tale drama roles, she stayed in the theater after graduation and officially became an actress.
In the film and television career, she seems to have some luck.
At the age of 19, she was directed to star in the movie "Reserve Police Officer", which was her first film and television drama role in her life.
In the film, her name is "Yao Lanlan" and she is a police cadet. In order to play this role well, she went deep into the police academy to learn from the experience before the performance, and ate, lived and trained with them for a month.
In order to look more like a police cadet, she cut a neat short hair, which looked more heroic with the uniform.
In her opinion, as an actor who wants to interpret the role better, he must be as close as possible to the character, and only by understanding the actual life of the character can he better shape the role, and the audience will believe in the role played.
It is her acting attitude that makes the film respond well, and the director, producer and audience have all given her praise and affirmation for her performance.
Since then, many directors have liked to find her to act, and she has also transformed from a fairy tale drama actor to a film and television drama actor.
In 1984, she starred in a very important film in her personal acting career, which is "Life".
The director favored Wu Yufang's plasticity and directly designated her to play the heroine.
Because the role is a rural girl, Wu Yufang, who acted seriously, went to the countryside for a while, and then in the film, she truly presented a simple and delicate "Liu Qiaozhen" to the audience, which won the unanimous praise of the audience.
With this role, Wu Yufang won the Best Actress Award at the Popular Hundred Flowers Award at the age of 21, which became a popular film queen.
She is so young and has acting skills, and it may be another Gong Li to shoot well.
But she clearly knows that her previous acting skills are more from fairy tale drama performances and rich stage experience.
So when she was faced with a flood of script invitations, she chose to refuse, but instead accepted the preparation for the exam and prepared to study herself.
After a year of preparation, she was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy Acting Refresher Course in 1985.
During her time at the school, she learned a wealth of acting knowledge and accumulated a lot of acting experience.
After 2 years of dressing up, she set off again to continue acting, and successively starred in works such as "Castle Serenade" and "Contract Couple", fully presenting herself to the audience after further study.
If she continues like this, more young friends will definitely know her now, but the plan will not keep up with the changes.
In 1986, she welcomed herself to a party.
At the party, as a popular female star, Wu Yufang was surrounded by many suitors, and everyone was hollowing out their minds to get her attention, which made Wu Yufang already a little tired.
It was difficult to cope with the people around him, Wu Yufang was ready to relax, and a man appeared next to him, this person was Jiang Jialiang.
Who is Jiang Jialiang? He is a table tennis player born in Guangdong, who once won the world championship in singles at the World Championships, and he has participated in many domestic and foreign competitions and won more awards, so he has an elegant name "Prince of Table Tennis".
From the time Wu Yufang came to the party scene, Jiang Jialiang fell in love with her at first sight.
Wu Yufang was really dazzling, and in Jiang Jia's conscience she was like a shining pearl, firmly attracting his attention.
After chatting with Jiang Jialiang for a while, Wu Yufang remembered that the other party was the "Prince of Ping Pong" and had won glory for the country countless times.
After the party, Jiang Jialiang began his fierce pursuit of Wu Yufang.
In the 1980s, the way of communication was far less developed than it is now, and if you wanted to think of each other, you could only go to the public telephone.
Jiang Jialiang called Wu Yufang from time to time, just wanted to talk to Wu Yufang.
It is true that such an obvious pursuit, Wu Yufang is still aware, but she feels that the other party's straightforward personality is very good, so she does not refuse.
At that time, Jiang Jialiang always asked her to dinner, as long as there was time, Wu Yufang would gladly go, and the two always had endless words together, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. ，
Always eating other people's bad, Wu Yufang always invited Jiang Jialiang back, so that the two invisibly have more opportunities and time to get along to deepen their understanding of each other.
One after the other, the two naturally developed a romantic relationship.
Jiang Jialiang always has training, and Wu Yufang often has to shoot in the crew, and the opportunity for the two to meet during the hot love period is not much, and the time is more tense.
The two cherish each other's precious meetings, every date Jiang Jialiang is a taxi, a year alone spent on the fare there are six or seven thousand yuan.
You should know that it was the 80s at that time, and such a fare could be the living expenses of a family for a year.
As a boyfriend, Jiang Jialiang often visits his girlfriend in the crew, and whenever this happens, the crew will joke:
"Wu Yufang, your boyfriend is here again."
It always made Wu Yufang blush.
A table tennis player, a big star, these two people are a combination of styles, very well matched.
Thinking about it, since they identified each other, the two got married in 1988 shortly after they met.
At that time, Wu Yufang was only 25 years old, and even if she was married, her acting career was still bright.
However, because her husband Jiang Jialiang played everywhere, she could not let the family be two people, and often labored and flew apart.
It is inevitable that small couples will have a mouth-to-mouth time together, and Wu Yufang and Jiang Jialiang are no exception.
Their quarrels are more because they are reluctant to each other and do not have more time to accompany each other.
When Jiang Jialiang played the game, he invited Wu Yufang to come and watch and take pictures of him to record the good times.
But Wu Yufang didn't have time, she had to shoot a scene, even if she could take time halfway, going to the live game would have ended long ago.
For this reason, both sides are angry and then feel sorry for each other, thinking about how to change this state.
After discussion, Wu Yufang chose to return to the family, fade out of the film and television circle, and concentrate on taking care of her husband.
Jiang Jialiang's results in table tennis after his new marriage were not satisfactory, and in the second year of marriage, they lost in the team final of the World Championships, which directly made Jiang Jialiang choose to retire.
Having just retired from the army, Singapore invited him to coach.
So soon, Wu Yufang went to Singapore with her husband to settle down, so that the stay was eleven years, and the husband and wife always accompanied each other, tolerated and encouraged each other.
When he first retired, Jiang Jialiang was still a bit disappointed, after all, the achievements he had achieved were all highlight moments.
Now there is neither glory nor applause, and all kinds of things make Jiang Jialiang uncomfortable.
So Wu Yufang, who also had a similar experience, comforted him:
"It's nothing, want to drive some. All those honors are illusory, and now it is our real life, even the former champions also want to live the life of chai rice oil and salt. ”
Jiang Jialiang is more traditional, facing his wife's outstanding career achievements, afraid of being told by others that he eats soft rice.
But he didn't know what he could do when he thought about it, and his heart was full of confusion.
At this time, Wu Yufang pulled him for a walk, and even drove a yacht out to sea to relax.
Facing the blue sea and his wife who is always with him, Jiang Jialiang's mood is much better.
It was with the company of his wife Wu Yufang that Jiang Jialiang gradually corrected his mentality, took over the job of coaching abroad, and reopened a new career.
In the years when her husband settled abroad, Wu Yufang gave birth to two daughters, the eldest daughter Jiang Lixin born in 1992 and the younger daughter Jiang Lijie born in 1995.
The two daughters grew up happily under the care of Wu Yufang, and from time to time they went shopping with their mother Wu Yufang, walking like three sisters.
When they returned to China, the two discussed what they could do to make a living.
Wu Yufang proposed: "Husband, you can play ball, originally like table tennis, it is better to open a school." ”
This suggestion suddenly came to Jiang Jialiang's heart, and the two talked about many details about it.
In Shanghai, Jiang Jialiang ran a table tennis school and set up a career.
At this time, Wu Yufang's two daughters are also older, have their own lives, and suddenly have a lot more free time.
Wu Yufang moved her mind to shoot the scene again.
Jiang Jialiang knew that if this family did not have the all-round support of Wu Yufang, there would definitely be no happy life now.
In order to support herself, the wife will give up her life as a popular female star in the first place.
Now his career is stable and his children are in school.
So he encouraged Wu Yufang to make a comeback and do what he liked boldly.
In 1999, Wu Yufang starred in "Woman's Sky", playing the role of "Wang Minghui" in the play. At the same time, she also participated in the TV series "Yellow River People".
After Wu Yufang's smooth comeback, she obviously felt that she was not the object that the market wanted to choose.
She was 36 years old when she came back, and this age did not have any advantages in the Chinese film and television industry.
Many dramas are willing to find her, after all, she was once the Best Actress of the Hundred Flowers Award, but the roles are biased towards "mother" and "mother-in-law", and the resources are far less than in the past.
However, Wu Yufang wanted to open up, she began to take over the role purely because she wanted to act, like acting, it didn't matter whether the role was the protagonist or not, or whether they were all roles with few roles.
Being able to act has satisfied Wu Yufang.
Returning to the film and television circle for more than twenty years, Wu Yufang has played more supporting roles, and not many people remember her past glory.
Now people see her mother who played "Zhu Shanshan" in "An Jia";
Starred in "Skyscraper" as the mother of "Li Jasmine" in the play;
In "Flowing Golden Years", Liu Shishi's mother is played.
In the final analysis, the role played by Wu Yufang is more of a mother role, no matter what kind of small role, or even a very unobtrusive role, Wu Yufang will use her heart to shape, not sloppy.
As an old drama bone, her strength is there, and she will not regress because of the eleven years she has retreated from the circle.
In 2019, Wu Yufang is 56 years old. This year is a year of her glory.
The movie "Send Me to Qingyun", starring Yao Chen and Yuan Hong, really made her fly.
In the film, she played the heroine's mother named "Liang Meizhi", married the heroine's father when she was young, resigned and returned home to concentrate on being a full-time mother and a full-time wife.
But when people reach middle age, their husbands cheated on their daughter's classmates, so they suffered a lot in their hearts. Fortunately, in the end, she harvested a love again.
Although this role is partially similar to Wu Yufang, in real life, her marriage is very happy, and in the past 34 years of marriage, the husband and wife are typical of the deep love.
Because of the prominent role of the heroine's mother in this film, she won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress.
It was the highest recognition she had received since her comeback, and the award seemed to be addressed to her as well:
"You see, there's nothing wrong with your choice. There is nothing wrong with your persistence and effort. Congratulations! ”
After winning the award, although Wu Yufang still participates in the role of some mother-in-law mothers, but the overall cass and script quality have improved, which makes Wu Yufang very happy, who does not want to play a good script, a good role?
Nowadays, Wu Yufang is more than 58 years old and continues to play the role of mother and mother-in-law in film and television dramas.
In life, her two daughters are already big girls, and her husband's career is also smooth.
It can only be said that Wu Yufang is definitely a winner in life.
Every time she made the right choice.
At the age of 19, he chose to make movies, stepped into the film and television circle, and then became a hot female star.
At the age of 25, he chose to return to the family, accompany her husband, take care of her daughters, and take care of them perfectly.
At the age of 36, he chose to make a comeback to shoot, although he played his mother-in-law for many years, he won the Affirmation of the Golden Horse Award for this role.
Doing the right thing at the right age is easy to say, but it's certainly problematic to do.
Like Wu Yufang, who has a good balance between career and family, she is a model for my generation and worth learning from women.
