After getting married, he broke up with his wife because of "brotherhood", and has been single ever since;
After tearfully bidding farewell to his friend Fu Biao in 2005, he "disappeared" for a full 3 years.
What has he experienced over the years? What kind of life are you living now?
01
Ding Zhicheng's birth is "purposeful".
When her sister Ding Baoming was one year old, she was disabled by polio and had to walk on crutches all her life, and her parents were worried that they would not be able to protect her sister for a lifetime, so Ding Zhicheng was born.
From the beginning of his understanding, Ding Zhicheng was told by his parents that he would let his sister go and take care of his sister for a lifetime.
Even the work of the "Golden Rice Bowl", Ding Zhicheng had to give it to his sister.
After graduating from high school, Ding Zhicheng and Ding Baoming entered the local Academy of Geological Sciences together.
The two went in as temporary workers, waiting for their parents to retire and giving their sister the only place to succeed.
The leader refused the request for succession on the grounds that his sister was disabled, and finally the quota was picked up by Ding Zhicheng as a "cheap".
Ding Zhicheng, who had thick lines, did not take this matter to heart, but he did not know that his sister secretly hated himself.
In the first month of salary after the regularization, Ding Zhicheng bought the most popular bat shirt and scarf for his sister.
Unexpectedly, in exchange for a scolding: "Are you showing off to me that you have a formal job"?
"I'm just a cripple, I'm not as good as you, am I"?
Looking at his sister's angry face, Ding Zhicheng could not say a word, and his parents, who had always loved their daughters, could only cry silently.
Ding Zhicheng began to find a way for his sister.
Ding Baoming's hands are very clever, making clothes to look like a model, so he silently saved money to buy a sewing machine, let his sister learn to tailor, and later open a clothing store.
After the neighbors knew, they all came to take care of the business, plus Ding Baoming's craftsmanship was very skillful, the business became bigger and bigger, and later, he opened a small tailor shop.
Although he was a small boss lady, in Ding Baoming's heart, he always felt that he was a "self-employed person", and no one would look up to him.
But fate is often so wonderful.
When Ding Baoming was 22 years old, her parents began to worry about her marriage.
A disabled girl, in that era, could not say that she had a good family affair, and the people who came to propose to her were also some boys with physical defects, and Ding Baoming, who wanted to be strong, naturally would not agree.
Just when Ding Baoming made up his mind and would not marry for the rest of his life, a young man took the initiative to come to the door to ask for relatives.
The young man's name is Yang Jianyun, a former colleague of Ding Baoming, and he said that he had loved Ding Baoming for a long time.
The whole family was stunned to see this tall, healthy and handsome young man,
They don't understand how such a good young man can like a disabled girl, does he have another plan?
Ding Zhicheng and Yang Jianyun came to a conversation between men and men.
He asked Yang Jianyun out, came up and asked, "Do you really like my sister, if you have another plan, I can't spare you"?
Yang Jianyun patiently explained: "I liked your sister when I went to work",
"At that time, my clothes were torn, and it was your sister who took the initiative to help me sew them, and I felt that she was a kind and virtuous girl, and it was not wrong to marry her and go home."
"Rest assured, I will be good to her for the rest of my life."
The brother-in-law has passed this pass, but the "marriage room" has become the number one problem.
After the two got married, they have been living in the tailor's shop, small and narrow, cooking rice has to be built outside the fire, and when it rains, they can't even make a meal.
Ding Zhicheng could not bear his sister's suffering, and took the initiative to propose to his parents to give the marriage room prepared for himself to his sister and brother-in-law.
Unexpectedly, the parents who have always loved their daughters actually refused: "Your sister is married, you are still single, how can you marry your daughter-in-law without a house"?
Ding Zhicheng's attitude was resolute: "I will talk about my business later, if I don't settle my sister well, I am not at ease about anything."
Early the next morning, Ding Zhicheng came to the tailor's shop and handed over the key to the new house to his sister.
Ding Baoming looked at her brother's distant back, full of mixed feelings, this brother she had hated for several years, actually loved herself as always, at this moment, all the past turned into clouds, leaving only the sister and brother deep affection.
Not long after Ding Baoming became pregnant, with the birth of his son, the family's life was stretched, all relying on Ding Zhicheng's subsidies, which barely survived.
Once, Ding Zhicheng came to his sister's house to visit his little nephew, and before he could walk in the door, he saw his sister and brother-in-law pushing and shoving.
It turned out that the brother-in-law's work unit issued a small bottle of Coke, and both of them were reluctant to drink it, pushing and shoving to let the other party drink two more sips.
Ding Zhicheng's eyes immediately turned red, and he secretly made up his mind that he must let his sister live a good life.
In 1991, Ding Zhicheng made a major decision - to go to the sea to do business.
He and his friends formed a decoration team together, he was righteous, in the business field real, one after another to accumulate a lot of contacts, in a few years, he made a lot of money.
Ding Zhicheng returned to his hometown with 300,000 savings, he bought himself a big brother, and gave his sister and brother-in-law a sum of money.
It is better to rely on others than on yourself.
Ding Baoming did not want to become a burden for his brother's life, and after consulting with her husband, they decided to temporarily give up their work.
Ding Baoming closed the tailor's shop and went to Beijing United Nations University to study fashion design, while her husband concentrated on preparing for the civil service examination at home.
First the brother-in-law was admitted to the civil service, and then the sister returned from school and founded her own clothing brand, and the family's living standards rose sharply.
But there is still one thing that makes Ding Baoming worried, that is, the marriage of his brother.
02
At this time, Ding Zhicheng was more than 30 years old, but he had no object.
When he was young, he had been carrying the burden of taking care of his sister, so he delayed himself.
In the face of his parents' urging to marry, Ding Zhicheng was very plain: "If I marry my daughter-in-law, can she watch me give all the money to my sister"?
"It doesn't matter if I don't get married for the rest of my life, as long as my sister is good, I will be satisfied in my life."
Parents look at their sensible son, his heart is full of mixed feelings, for a while he did not know, for many years to teach their son "everything to put the sister first" is right or wrong?
The ringer must also be tied to the ringer, and the parents had no choice but to inform the sister of the whole situation.
Ding Baoming did not say a word, but silently showed the family's passbook to his younger brother: "My sister is now fully capable of supporting herself, and you must also pursue your own happiness."
"The younger brother hopes that the sister is good, the older sister hopes that the younger brother is good, from today onwards, change the sister to take care of the younger brother"!
Ding Zhicheng couldn't help but blush, it was release, but also liberation.
For more than 30 years, he has always regarded his sister's happiness as his life goal, and now he can finally truly live for himself once.
The marriage went smoothly, and with the help of relatives and friends, he soon married and had a daughter.
But the birth of his daughter broke him down for three whole days.
It turned out that Ding Zhicheng had always had the idea of "preferring sons to daughters".
All along, he thought his wife was pregnant with a boy, and when the nurse told him it was a girl, he was stupid and went straight to a friend for a drink.
But three days later, when he returned to his wife, when he saw his daughter again, his heart was inexplicably soft.
Blood is so wonderful, since then he has said to everyone: "Still the daughter is good, the daughter is the father's little cotton jacket."
After solving two major life events, Ding Zhicheng began to pursue another of his dreams - acting.
In the first play, he cooperated with director Zhao Baogang, starred in "A Matter of Wind and Snow", and became good friends with Fu Biao.
The two have similar interests, both are good boys with heavy feelings and righteousness, and they have the unique "bureau atmosphere" of Beijingers, and every time they finish filming, the two will meet a few friends for a drink.
Gradually, Ding Zhicheng went to an extreme, he attached far more importance to his friends than his wife and children, as long as his friends shouted for a party, he immediately arrived, and his friends asked him to borrow money, and he did not say a word.
This style of acting is righteous in the eyes of friends, but it is "irresponsible" in the eyes of wives.
The husband and wife quarreled many times about this matter, but Ding Zhicheng let out harsh words: "I am such a person, I can't live without friends."
The wife's heart was completely cold, and when the daughter was 5 years old, the two went through divorce procedures.
03
Ding Zhicheng was completely "liberated."
He no longer has any scruples, talks about life with friends today, does not get drunk tomorrow, and sleeps until the day after tomorrow: "No one cares about life that no one asks is really good"!
At the same time, his career also quietly blossomed, and a "serious case six groups 2" made his career reach the peak.
The Yang Zhen he portrays is upright and decisive, has independent opinions, and is naturally harmonious with Wang Qian's husband and wife, followed by a script and invitation from the sky.
To what extent is Ding Zhicheng red?
Because there is no schedule, he took the initiative to ask the director of "Six Groups of Serious Cases" to "write his role to death", but the director really can't bear it, and would rather cooperate with his schedule than give up the role.
And that's a full 5 years of time.
From 05 to 08, for a full 3 years, Ding Zhicheng seemed to have "disappeared", almost no one could contact him, what happened to him?
In 2005, his friend Fu Biao was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer, and in the last 20 days of his life, Ding Zhicheng has been with his friend.
After bidding farewell to Fu Biao, he began to think about his life,
Over the years, Ding Zhicheng has played one drama after another, and even the Spring Festival has not been at home, he has given his family material satisfaction, but neglected to accompany.
So he gave himself a big vacation and spent all his time with his family.
04
It was not until 2008 that the director of "Serious Case Six Groups 3" found him, and he officially returned to filming.
This time, the focus of his life shifted from work to family.
He bought a house next to his daughter's school, and he arrived as soon as she needed it.
For his daughter's request, he fully satisfied, even if he knew that this was "coddling": "I owe my daughter too much, even if I dote on her, I have to satisfy her everything."
In addition, in his mother's later years, his sister's family has always been taken care of by him.
Many people advised him to find another one, even his daughter supported it, but he had no heart: "I only hope that my mother, my sister, and my daughter will be happy and healthy in the second half of my life, and I don't want anything else."
In addition to taking care of his family, Ding Zhicheng does not forget to do one thing every year, and he can't move.
All along, Ding Zhicheng would sweep the graves of his father and Fu Biao, sit in front of the tombs of his father and friends, say a few words of confidant, and stay quietly for a while.
The influence of his parents and family has made Ding Zhicheng have great love since he was a child.
In the first half of his life, Ding Zhicheng lived for his sister.
In the second half of his life, Ding Zhicheng once again handed himself over to the "family", and he wanted to be a good brother, a good son, and a good father.
Everything is up to him, and everything is his own choice.
