Cao Cuifen is a late-blooming actor.
She was nearly 30 years old when she officially debuted.
Because she mostly plays the role of an old lady in film and television dramas, she is also affectionately called "grandmother professional household" by the audience.
After that, she was loved by the audience for her role as "Old Lady Sheng" in "Knowing or Not".
However, compared with her career, she and her husband Tan Tianqian have one only regret is that they do not have children.
The two have been in love for 56 years, but when they were young, they did not have children for their careers.
Now that many years have passed, how has her life been?
Cao Cuifen has been interested in art since she was a child.
Therefore, when she was 16 years old, she applied for the Beijing Film Academy without hesitation.
During this time, she and her future husband Tan Tianqian met.
Tan Tianqian grew tall and handsome when he was young, plus he played basketball well.
Therefore, at that time, his suitors were naturally not in the minority.
Originally, the two did not have any intersection.
Only once by chance, Cao Cuifen was also pulled to the basketball court by her friends.
As a result, without paying attention, Tan Tianqian's basketball flew directly towards her.
Eventually, Cao Cuifen's nose was smashed and bled.
And Tan Tianqian could only apologize reverently in the infirmary.
Probably out of guilt, Tan Tianqian would bring breakfast to Cao Cuifen almost every day in the month after that.
At the beginning, Cao Cuifen was still a little uncomfortable.
But the two who came and went became acquainted.
After that, the two fell in love.
And for Cao Cuifen Tan Tianqian has always been pampered.
Sending them to class every day is a basic operation.
Once Cao Cuifen and her friends went shopping to see a small fan, but because of the pain of the money, they did not buy it in the end.
And Tan Tianqian did not know where he learned the news.
I ate pickles for a few days and bought the fan.
This incident made Cao Cuifen very moved, plus the relationship between the two has been very stable during this period.
So soon after graduation, the two got married.
After marriage, the two have been busy with their respective careers, so they have no idea of having children.
Because the career has been in a tepid state.
So this delay is to 40 years old.
During this period, in order to support his wife to shoot Tan Tianqian, he directly became her agent.
Nearly 10 years after her debut, Cao Cuifen finally became popular with her "second aunt" in the drama "Hanging High on the Red Lantern".
When Zhang Yimou was first selected for this role, Zhang Yimou was not optimistic about Cao Cuifen.
Because compared to the actors who auditioned for others.
Her appearance is more ordinary, but after hearing Cao Cuifen's understanding of the role.
Zhang Yimou immediately made a nail in the coffin, and immediately decided that she would play this role.
The crew filmed in the winter.
Cao Cuifen just happened to be the kind of physique that was cold in winter.
Therefore, when filming the scene where she touched The back of The Essence, she made the Spirit of the Essence cool.
In the end, this bridge section was filmed more than a dozen times before it finally passed.
After that, Cao Cuifen also made a small fire because of this drama.
With the increase of fame, Cao Cuifen's dramas have also begun to increase.
In order to make the movie "Miscellaneous Mouth".
Cao Cuifen also specially ran to the northwest countryside to experience life.
Originally, the director arranged a hotel for her.
But she secretly ran to her hometown with the quilt in her arms.
So much so that when her husband Tan Tianqian came to visit the class, the people who opened the door of the hotel were stupid.
The room was empty, and the quilts and mattresses on the bed were all gone.
Finally, when he almost called the police, the director contacted Cao Cuifen, who was working in the field, from the home of his fellow villagers in the next village.
Although her debut has been tepid for many years, Cao Cuifen's attitude towards acting is extremely dedicated.
When filming "Shanghai Family", it was not fully prepared.
So Cao Cuifen basically read the script while shooting.
It's hard to believe what it's like to shoot during the day and read a script at night at her age.
But even so, Cao Cuifen still did not delay the filming process of the crew with her superb acting skills.
After the broadcast of this drama, Cao Cuifen finally ushered in another promotion of fame and career at the age of 50.
It's just that after many years of marriage, the two still have no children.
But Tan Tianqian did not complain about this in the slightest.
Instead, he pampered his wife as always.
Because she was busy filming just after graduation, Cao Cuifen had never cooked at all for so many years.
The natural work of cooking and doing housework fell on Tan Tianqian's body.
It wasn't until Tan Tianqian fell ill once that Cao Cuifen was completely panicked.
Although he ostensibly swore that he would cook.
As a result, the steamed rice turned into porridge.
It was also after this incident that the two felt that it was time to have a child.
Otherwise, no one will take care of them when they are old.
But at that time, Cao Cuifen was already 50 years old, and it was not easy to get pregnant.
So in the end, to this day, the two have not been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter.
Although he and Tan Tianqian have been single-mindedly in love for 56 years.
But not having children became the only regret for the two.
It's just that regrets turn to regrets, and the feelings of the two people today are still the same.
When participating in activities, you can often see the footage of the old two holding hands.
Although Cao Cuifen is older, she is still active on the screen.
Perhaps now the two have become accustomed to, although there are no children, but they are with each other, which is also a relief among regrets.
