01
You Xiaogang
You Xiaogang's life is a thick book, with high mountains and rapids, small rivers, and open plains. He joined the team in the countryside, worked as an actor in the literary troupe, studied at the provincial art school, and served as a soldier before embarking on the road of directing.
You Xiaogang's film and television dramas such as "Triumph in the Midnight", "Kyoto Chronicle", "Secret History of Xiaozhuang", "Secret History of Yang Guifei", "Silver Building", "Phoenix in the Jianghu", "Love Break on the Beach", "Hunting Shadow of the Anti-terrorism SWAT Team" and other film and television dramas have influenced generations of people.
You Xiaogang was born in 1952 in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, and when he was an actor in the Chuzhou Cultural and Labor Troupe in Anhui Province, he fell in love with and married Tian Ge, an actor in the troupe.
In 1984, two years after you married Tian Ge, You Xiaogang was admitted to the directing department of the Beijing Film Academy, and after graduation, he was assigned to the Beijing Air Politics Repertory Theatre as a director.
Due to the separation of the two places, You Xiaogang and Tian Ge did not conceive a baby.

You Xiaogang and Tian Ge
In 1987, Tian Ge was admitted to the Broadcasting Department of Beijing Broadcasting Institute, and in 1990, he was assigned to Beijing Television Station. Because the couple is busy at work, they do not have the time and energy to conceive children, which also makes their feelings lack a most powerful bond.
In 1992, You Xiaogang and Tian Ge divorced due to personality incompatibility and other reasons. At this time, You Xiaogang was 40 years old, and when he reached middle age, he was heartbroken for divorce and regretted not having children.
In 1996, when You Xiaogang was directing the TV series "Kyoto Chronicle", he had an affair with the well-known actress Wu Qianqian.
After remarrying, You Xiaogang was bent on having a child of her own, but somehow Wu Qianqian never conceived a baby. The couple saw a doctor and made various efforts to conceive the baby, but they never got their wish.
You Xiaogang and Wu Qianqian
Before You Xiaogang's parents died, they all said to him with tears: I didn't see you as a father, we didn't hold our grandchildren, and our hearts were uncomfortable. Son, if you walk in the world, you still have to have your own children.
Looking at the tears in her parents' eyes, You Xiaogang burst into tears, and Wu Qianqian also shed complicated tears.
You Xiaogang is a kind and loving man, and he hurts Wu Qianqian's niece Wu Jingjing as his daughter. When Wu Jingjing was two years old, her parents divorced, and You Xiaogang and Wu Qianqian took her to live together.
Wu Jingjing was not comfortable attending junior high school in Beijing, and You Xiaogang sent her back to her hometown in Zhuji, Zhejiang Province, to go to school. During the winter and summer vacations, Wu Jingjing returned to his aunt's house in Beijing.
Wu Jingjing
Wu Jingjing was a beautiful and sensible girl, who knew the pain in her uncle's heart, and said to You Xiaogang: I am the daughter of you and your aunt, and when you are old, I will take care of you.
These words ironed You Xiaogang's heart, but he still wanted to have his own children.
Wu Qianqian failed to conceive a baby, which became an untie knot in her marriage to You Xiaogang. As they get older, the couple's feelings become weaker and weaker.

In the fall of 2010, You Xiaogang participated in a talk show on Beijing Television and met the beautiful host and actress Zhou Tingyi.
Zhou Tingyi
Zhou Tingyi, sunny, beautiful and lively, is like a fresh wind, bringing you the enjoyment of beauty. Zhou Tingyi admired and admired You Xiaogang's talent, and his words were full of respect.
You Xiaogang has a good impression of Zhou Tingyi, and feels that she does not have the impetuousness and utilitarianism of ordinary young actors.
Born in 1982 in Lanzhou, Gansu Province, Zhou Tingyi has loved performing and hosting since childhood. After graduating from high school, Zhou Tingyi was admitted to the Television Department of the Communication University of China, and after graduation, he successively hosted variety shows on China Entertainment Satellite TV in Hong Kong, Shanghai Movie Channel, and Beijing Satellite TV.
At the same time, Zhou Tingyi also took over many film and television dramas such as "Love in Beijing", "Half the Sky", "Popular Antique Shop" and so on. While being a host, while filming, Zhou Tingyi double-line development.
You Xiaogang and Zhou Tingyi
After the program was recorded, Zhou Tingyi carefully asked: You Dao, you are a highly respected director, can I ask you for advice in the future?
You Xiaogang smiled humorously: Welcome to disturb, we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. With that, You Xiaogang told Zhou Tingyi his contact information.
Zhou Tingyi has contacted some directors before, and at the dinner table, they praised Zhou Tingyi to the sky, saying that they would let her play the heroine in the future. However, at the end of the meal, as soon as the wine woke up, they forgot what they had said, and no director contacted Zhou Tingyi.
Zhou Tingyi thought that You Xiaogang was also saying good things in passing, so she did not hold out hope.
It's just that Zhou Tingyi doesn't know that You Xiaogang is a strict director who won't easily promise, and if he says it, he will honor it.

Stills from Wu Jingjing's "The Secret History of Xi Shi"
In May 2010, when you Xiaogang's 41-episode costume romance drama "The Secret History of Xi Shi" was about to start, he took the initiative to call Zhou Tingyi and invited her to play the role of "Spring Butterfly" after King Wu in the play, and expressed the script to her on the same day.
A new person of his own, zhou Tingyi was particularly grateful to be able to get a famous guide like You Xiaogang.
In the play, the famous Taiwanese actor Ma Jingtao plays the king of wu "Fu Cha". Zhou Tingyi played against him, and the two worked together seamlessly.
Wu Qianqian's niece Wu Jingjing played the female number one "Xi Shi" in the play. Because of the tight schedule, the crew often rushed to the night scene, and it was common to finish work at two or three o'clock in the morning.
You Xiaogang is the longest working and most tired person in the crew, and his normal sleep is only four or five hours a night.
You Xiaogang
Because of serious lack of sleep, You Xiaogang has no appetite and often skips breakfast. Often, at 10 a.m., he was so hungry that he was dizzy.
After Zhou Tingyi knew, he would bring breakfast to the crew every day for You Xiaogang to eat. Sometimes without Zhou Tingyi's night scenes, she would prepare two boxes of yogurt to put next to the monitor to refresh You Xiaogang at night.
You Xiaogang felt that Zhou Tingyi was a kind, grateful, and sensible good girl, so he often told her drama and photographed her pictures very beautifully.
You Xiaogang treats Zhou Tingyi as a daughter, and Zhou Tingyi also respects You Xiaogang as an elder. Because You Xiaogang was married, his relationship with Zhou Tingyi was very pure.
After the filming of "The Secret History of Xi Shi", You Xiaogang directed the 40-episode urban love drama "8090 Rush Forward", once again promoting Zhou Tingyi and letting her play the workplace white-collar "Sister Tang" in the play.
Zhou Tingyi
Under the recommendation of You Xiaogang, Zhou Tingyi also took over two TV series, "Datang Women's Patrol" and "Internal Prequel". In Zhou Tingyi's mind, You Xiaogang was her benefactor and nobleman.

In 2012, the contradictions between You Xiaogang and Wu Qianqian were irreconcilable, and the two divorced.
After Zhou Tingyi learned the news, he was very sad in his heart and asked in WeChat: You Dao, is it because of my reasons that you were separated?
You Xiaogang denied: It has nothing to do with you, even if I don't know you, she and I will come to this step. He then recounted the regrets and pain he had brought to himself and his parents because he had not been able to become a father after he had been married twice.

Across the mobile phone screen, Zhou Tingyi can feel You Xiaogang's heartache, and she has a special taste in her heart.
When she divorced Wu Qianqian, You Xiaogang was already 60 years old and had a very bleak mood. He didn't have the heart to cook, often a steamed bun, an apple is a meal.
Zhou Tingyi was very distressed and often came to take care of You Xiaogang. Although she is not good at cooking, she still cooks for You Xiaogang according to the mobile phone video; She helped You Xiaogang sort out the script and took care of his flowers on the balcony. You Xiaogang's messy room was also cleaned up by Zhou Tingyi.
Zhou Tingyi was like a clear spring, washing away the pain of You Xiaogang's divorce. For some reason, with Zhou Tingyi, You Xiaogang radiated unprecedented passion, and he knew that this was love.
Zhou Tingyi
In 2013, You Xiaogang bravely courted Zhou Tingyi: I don't know if it is appropriate to say this, if I say it wrong, you will laugh it off. I love you!
Zhou Tingyi's heart was like a deer, and she was dizzy for a while, but her emotions calmed down, and she accepted You Xiaogang's feelings. In fact, in her heart, her admiration and admiration for You Xiaogang has long been interpreted as admiration.
Zhou Tingyi informed his parents of the relationship, and his parents were blinded: Because You Xiaogang was older than them, they did not expect that the daughter of a flower-like jade would find a boyfriend of such an old age, how embarrassing would it be to meet in the future? What will friends and relatives think of them?
The Zhou family's parents insisted that their daughter break up with You Xiaogang. Zhou Tingyi enlightened parents: true love is the collision of souls, is a tacit understanding of like-mindedness, and has nothing to do with age. I don't think there's anything wrong with being with him, happiness is a feeling, can you guarantee happiness by finding a boyfriend of the same age?

Although Zhou Tingyi's words were reasonable, they could not shake her parents' determination to force her to break up, and the next two generations fell into a tug-of-war. Her parents called several times a day to force her to break up. Speaking of excitement, the mother sobbed on the other end of the phone, and Zhou Tingyi shed tears here.
At this time, Zhou Tingyi was 31 years old, not young for a girl, and the face of choosing a mate was getting narrower and narrower.
In order to persuade her parents, she soon rushed back to her hometown and made heart-to-heart exchanges with her parents. She recounted her hardships and ups and downs in Beijing, her attitude towards love and marriage, and You Xiaogang's kindness to her bit by bit.
She told her parents: When a girl reaches my age, she will not casually love someone, and she must have made a decision after careful consideration. If you force me to break up with You Xiaogang, I can promise you, but I will not get involved in feelings again in this life.
The daughter's steadfastness and dedication to love touched the parents of the Zhou family. Mother Zhou said with tears: As long as you can live well in the future, what else are you worried about with your father and I?
You Xiaogang and Zhou Tingyi
After passing the parents' pass, Zhou Tingyi and You Xiaogang were relieved. After the engagement at hand, the two obtained a license to marry in Beijing in May 2015. You Xiaogang and Zhou Tingyi are very low-key and do not hold a wedding.
Especially at the age of You Xiaogang, he no longer values the external nothingness and only wants to live a down-to-earth life.

After the news of the marriage between the two spread, many people were not optimistic, saying that the two people had very few love ingredients, and there would be a time when You Xiaogang cried in the future. There are also people who do not understand, think that Zhou Tingyi's conditions are so good, why marry an old man?
The criticism of the outside world did not affect the mood of You Xiaogang and Zhou Tingyi, living a life is not a performance, it does not matter whether outsiders look at it or not, as long as they feel suitable.
Zhou Tingyi
Before getting married, You Xiaogang discussed with Zhou Tingyi: My biggest regret in this life is that I don't have my own children, and I hope that you will help me realize my dreams in the future. Zhou Tingyi said: I also like babies and are eager to be a mother.
Soon after the marriage, Zhou Tingyi became pregnant, and You Xiaogang was so excited that she burst into tears. He slows down his work and takes care of Zhou Tingyi at home, and You Xiaogang, who used to do little housework, is now clumsily frying eggs for his wife in the kitchen.
In fact, you Xiaogang's fried eggs are not delicious, but Zhou Tingyi is very sweet in her heart, and she wants this gesture of her husband.
You Xiaogang is worried that he is old and the baby is not developing well, so he has to accompany Zhou Tingyi to the hospital every month for a fetal examination. The night before the prenatal examination, You Xiaogang was so nervous that he couldn't sleep, afraid of any bad results.
You Xiaogang
Every time the doctor handed him the fetal examination report and said that the baby was all right, You Xiaogang's hanging heart landed on the ground.
In October 2016, Zhou Tingyi gave birth to a healthy baby boy in Beijing. At the moment of the baby's birth, You Xiaogang checked his whole body several times to make sure that the baby was all healthy, and he burst into tears.
64-year-old father, and his first child, You Xiaogang's complex feelings are indescribable, and only tears can express his mood at this moment.
In 2018, Zhou Tingyi gave birth to his youngest son in Beijing, when You Xiaogang was already 66 years old. At the age of 60, he gave birth to two sons, and people around him called You Xiaogang the bravest father. Zhou Tingyi's mother came to Beijing to take care of the two babies, and You Xiaogang also hired a live-in nanny.
Zhou Tingyi with two sons
In fact, although Zhou Ting Yilian gave birth to two sons, she did not have much psychological preparation for her mother; Coupled with the lack of life experience, she felt that the days were a little heavy. Sometimes her son cries, or cares for her son too hard, and she complains.
Zhou Tingyi's mother is very virtuous and quietly warns her daughter: No matter how many years younger you are than You Xiaogang, you cannot escape the role of wife and mother. As long as you are married and have a family, no matter how young you are, your wife is your mother and you must take on the corresponding responsibilities.
Her mother's teaching touched Zhou Tingyi's heart, and she learned to be a good wife and mother. Because of the love in her heart, she quickly entered the role.
While taking care of her two sons, Zhou Tingyi also took good care of her husband's life. You Xiaogang went out to direct a play, or went out to participate in activities, zhou Tingyi would pack her husband's suitcase, even razors and socks would not fall.
You Xiaogang thought about the child in the crew, and Zhou Tingyi took a small video of his two sons every day and then sent it to him.
Shortly after giving birth to her two sons, Zhou Tingyi also took over a number of film and television dramas such as "Hunting Shadow of the Anti-Terrorism Special Combat Team", "Cold Winter Yan Rose", "The Wolf of the Anti-Terrorism Special Combat Team" and so on.
In 2019, Zhou Tingyi won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Macao International Film Festival for her wonderful appearance in "The Wolf of the Counter-Terrorism Special Forces".
In order to make this film well, Zhou Tingyi, who gave birth to a baby, entered the group and received military training. During the shooting, due to the back thrust of the gun, the butt of the gun hit her jaw, and the blood flowed like blood. She simply bandaged it and continued filming.
You Xiaogang, the director of the play, was touched by his wife's professionalism.
Zhou Tingyi
In the crew, Zhou Tingyi is particularly low-key and never asks for special care. In order not to affect You Xiaogang's state, the couple did not live together. The scene is almost finished, and many people still don't know that You Xiaogang and Zhou Tingyi are a couple.

After the film was released nationwide, Zhou Tingyi was well known and loved by more people, and many scenes came to the door. But zhou Tingyi made a surprising decision during the rise of his career: to go to the United States for further study.
She said to her husband: I want to take advantage of the fact that I am still young and have a strong memory to learn to make a film, so that I can have one more way to survive in the future. You Xiaogang is very much in favor of his wife's idea, the actress has reached a certain age, the drama date is getting less and less, and there is even no drama.
My wife went to learn to make a film, and she could be more relaxed in the future. In September 2019, Zhou Tingyi went to California State University in the United States for further study, majoring in filmmaking. During his wife's study abroad, You Xiaogang cooperated with the nanny to take care of his two sons at home.
The two little ones were very lively, running around the house, and You Xiaogang ran behind, tired and breathless. Every few days, You Xiaogang would take a group photo of his two sons and then send it to Zhou Tingyi.
You Xiaogang also made a small video of himself cooking for the baby and sent it to Zhou Tingyi's WeChat. Zhou Tingyi said to her husband: In the past, in the crew, you were most annoyed with cooking, how can you have this patience now?
You Xiaogang replied: At that time, I regarded the director as the most important role in my life, and now the role I value most is my father. At this age, I did not have too high requirements in my career, and I only wanted to accompany my two sons to grow up healthily.
In June 2020, Zhou Tingyi graduated and returned to Beijing. Because the two sons have reached the age of sticking mothers, Zhou Tingyi did not take over the role for the time being, and single-mindedly took care of the baby at home.
Zhou Tingyi
Every morning at 6 o'clock she got up and prepared breakfast for her two sons alone, and then breakfast for the family. After eating, she taught her two sons to play the piano, helped them with their homework, and then helped the children pack up their toys.
After dinner, You Xiaogang and his wife accompanied their two sons to do parent-child games. You Xiaogang is older, suffering from high blood pressure, blood sugar is also high, and the two sons are still so young, You Xiaogang does not dare to grow old, must have a good body to accompany the two sons to grow.
In this way, You Xiaogang pays special attention to fitness, he will go downstairs every morning and evening, usually not taking the elevator but climbing the stairs. Even if you isolate at home during the epidemic, You Xiaogang will run on the fitness machine and lift dumbbells.
Others are raising grandchildren at this age, but You Xiaogang has two sons, and he has a different kind of happiness.
On Father's Day in 2022, Zhou Tingyi and his two sons made a card for You Xiaogang, and the two children also wrote crookedly on the card with colored pens: Happy Holidays, Dad!

When You Xiaogang returned from outside, Zhou Tingyi led his two sons to stand at the door to greet him, and the two sons held up cards and said to him: Happy Holidays, Dad! At that moment, You Xiaogang's heart was completely melted, and he felt that being a father was the happiest thing in the world.
You Xiaogang married a beautiful actress wife 30 years younger than himself, and gave birth to two sons after the age of 64, he not only did not feel the heaviness of life, but was wrapped in happiness and happiness every day.
In the past, You Xiaogang's most important role was the director, but now he feels that being a good husband and father is more important than being a good director!
