"Art is the first to move the creator, I remember when I was a child, I often saw my father writing a sad song, lying on the table crying sadly, and I often saw him humming prairie hymns and dancing with his hands."
"The greatest inheritance my father gave me was the immersion and selflessness of art, which made me a person like him, loyal to the art I practiced."
For his achievements in performing arts, Zhang Qiuge, a famous performing artist and national first-class actor, attributed all the credit to his father.
In his opinion, if it were not for the influence of his father, he would not like art at all, would not have entered the acting industry, and would not have selflessly performed so many excellent works and roles.
But many people don't know that compared to Zhang Qiuge's achievements in his acting career, he has actually experienced a lot of setbacks and regrets in his personal life.
First of all, in terms of family, he and his mother have been indifferent for more than ten years, and secondly, in terms of feelings, he not only experienced a failed marriage, but also quickly fell in love with his second wife, flashed marriage, and has not given birth to a son and a half daughter for so many years, so that now he is 66 years old and still in a childless state.
In addition to the regret of not having children, he used to live happily with his second wife, often showing affection in public, but in recent years they have rarely appeared in public together, and in the eyes of the outside world, his marital status has become a mystery now...
One
Born in 1956 in Hulunbuir, Inner Mongolia, Zhang Qiuge grew up on the Hulunbuir grassland, the oldest child in the family, and a younger brother and a sister below him.
His father's name is Na Risong, is a singer, known as the "King of Grassland Songs", Na Risong composed and sung "Beautiful Hulunbuir Grassland", "Grassland Morning Light Waltz", "Grassland Star" and other works, have been popular.
In Zhang Qiuge's impression, when he was a child, his father would often write and sing songs at home, and whenever this happened, he would listen quietly to the sidelines, and sometimes hum along.
Compared with his father's pursuit of romance and art, Zhang Qiuge's mother disciplined him very strictly, requiring him to do various housework every day and taking care of his younger siblings.
Once, in the middle of winter, when it was more than minus 20 degrees, at the request of his mother, he stood alone in the cold wind on the street and waited for several hours, buying the vegetables needed at home, but he did not expect that on the way home, the bag was broken, half of the dishes were missed, and his mother immediately beat him up after returning home.
Perhaps because his mother disciplined him strictly in life, Zhang Qiuge left his hometown after graduating from high school in 1974 and entered a theater in Inner Mongolia as a drama actor.
Zhang Qiuge left after only two years in the theater and went to Harbin, Heilongjiang, alone, to become a literary and artistic soldier of the local fire troupe.
In 1980, after working in the Art Troupe for several years, Zhang Qiuge, who had laid a solid foundation, applied for the Shanghai Theater Academy in order to develop better, and was admitted to the Shanghai Opera Performance Department with a solid foundation.
When he came to the theater campus with him, there were also Liu Wei, Ding Jiali, Wang Xinjun, Yin Guohua and other powerful actors, who also harbored acting dreams, and they were all working hard for the same goal.
In order to stand out from many outstanding students, Zhang Qiuge worked especially hard during college, and when others were busy shopping and eating, he always specialized in acting skills.
After graduating from university, he was assigned to the China Youth Art Theater with excellent results, and began his acting career.
Two
Since graduating from university in 1984, Zhang Qiuge has been active on the drama stage for 6 years and has not entered the entertainment industry.
Although his career developed tepid during this period, he gained his first relationship, which was also his first marriage, but unfortunately his marriage came and went quickly, and the two divorced for various reasons not long after marriage.
After a failed marriage, Zhang Qiuge also grew a lot, he began to work hard to develop his career, from 1990, he is no longer obsessed with the drama stage, but entered the entertainment industry to develop.
He first cooperated with Wang Jinlu and Xing Minshan in "Wusheng Taidou", and then cooperated with Ruping in "Wuyi Immortal World", and later made a cameo in "Wu Zetian" starring Liu Xiaoqing, Chen Baoguo and others.
Although these works did not make him popular, he slowly established himself in the entertainment industry with his superb acting skills, paving the way for his later development.
In 1995, after many years in the entertainment industry, Zhang Qiuge, who has been tepid, finally got a chance to become popular, and this opportunity was to participate in the work "Xi Shi".
The work is directed by Yang Jie, a famous director who directed the 86 version of "Journey to the West", starring Jiang Qinqin, who had not yet graduated at the time, as well as actors such as Xu Shaohua and Kou Zhenhai, he played the role of King Yue "Gou Jian".
At that time, in order to perfectly interpret the image of the role of "Goujian" and bear the burden of humiliation, and to make the picture appear more real, the director caught the mouse before filming and let the mouse run back and forth on the spilled porridge.
During the filming, Zhang Qiuge, who entered the play, after entering a state of selflessness, regardless of how dirty the porridge was, knelt directly on the ground and licked it one bite at a time, and finally licked the porridge clean.
And his efforts were not in vain, after the hit of the show, he has been tepid and successfully became popular with this work.
After that, Zhang Qiuge participated in many works one after another, such as "Sima Qian", "The Right Way in the World", "Longing for Passion" and so on.
Although almost all of his roles in these works are supporting roles, he still left a deep impression on the audience with his superb acting skills.
While his career has developed steadily, Zhang Qiuge's life in terms of family and feelings has also changed.
Three
In 1995, shortly after he became popular with his work "Shih Tzu", his father Na Rimatsu died of illness.
After the death of his father, Zhang Qiuge, who had been indifferent to his mother since graduating from high school, could not bear to see his mother living alone, and he finally freed his previous suspicions and dissolved the indifferent relationship with his mother that had lasted for more than ten years.
After that, he has always been very concerned about his mother's life, not only shushing the cold and warmth on weekdays, giving her sufficient living expenses, but also taking care of her when her is sick.
It can be said that although the death of his father brought him great grief, it invisibly repaired the relationship between him and his mother and made him feel the warmth of his mother.
And when he saw him busy in front of him regardless of his previous suspicions, his mother choked up and said at one point: "When I was a child, my mother was sorry for you, and I'm so sad now..."
In this regard, Zhang Qiuge said: "It's all already turned over, you gave me life, this is the greatest kindness, I will take good care of you." ”
In addition to repairing the relationship with his mother, as his career developed better and better, Zhang Qiuge also gained his second relationship.
Four
In 1999, while filming the work "Northeast Bandits", Zhang Qiuge met actress Hu Jing.
After getting acquainted with each other, Hu Jing saw that he had been single since his divorce, so she matched him and introduced him to Wang Xiaomei, who was the deputy head of the drama troupe in Mudanjiang at the time.
Wang Xiaomei, born in 1967, is 11 years younger than Zhang Qiuge, although because she has been active on the drama stage, her popularity is not as high as his, but after Zhang Qiuge saw Wang Xiaomei, she immediately attracted attention.
In his words: "After I saw her, my eyes never left her." ”
Because when they first met, he kept a close eye on Wang Xiaomei, and at one point almost caused Wang Xiaomei to have a bad impression of him.
Later, when recalling this incident in the program, Wang Xiaomei also ridiculed: "I thought at the time, how can this person be like this." ”
After having a good impression of Wang Xiaomei, in order to chase this favorite girl, Zhang Qiuge launched a crazy pursuit of her, and with his continuous efforts and the mediation of friends on both sides, he quickly captured Wang Xiaomei's heart.
Since both of them are impatient, after confirming the relationship, they immediately took each other to meet their respective parents, and then went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to obtain a marriage certificate.
From falling in love to getting married, in just 9 days, the two of them completed a process that would take others a long time to complete.
It may be because he did not enjoy a good family warmth in childhood, and after marrying Wang Xiaomei, Zhang Qiuge did not rush to have children, but put all his mind on his career.
Five
In the past 20 years since his second marriage, he has worked hard to develop his career and participated in many excellent works and roles one after another.
From "Xu Shiyou" in "General Xu Shiyou", to "Li Dazhi" in "Heaven and Place", to "Cai Deliang" in "AA System Life", and "Cui Tingshan" in "Defender", etc., they are all fresh in people's memories.
In addition to being active in the film and television industry, he is a drama actor and has not abandoned the stage of drama over the years, on the contrary, his development in drama is no worse than that in film and television.
In 2013, when participating in the drama "Deep Burn", he portrayed the role of "General Kotov" vividly, which not only won the love of the audience, but also won the "Second Degree Plum" award of the 26th Drama Plum Blossom Awards in one fell swoop!
But I don't know if it's because after marriage, he once put all his mind on his career, and from marriage to now, Zhang Qiuge and his second wife have never given birth to a child that belongs to them.
In previous years, the couple would often participate in the show together, appear in public together, and even bring his mother to the show together.
But with the longer and longer time after marriage, Zhang Qiuge has rarely appeared in the same frame with Wang Xiaomei in recent years, and it is precisely for this reason that for many media and audiences, the marriage status of the two of them who are now very low-key in married life has become a mystery.
However, judging from the sweet state of the two of them when they were married, there should be no problem with the relationship between the two of them.
As for why they rarely appear in the same frame in recent years, perhaps, the main reason is that they are old and don't want to attract attention because of emotional and life matters.
Six
Now 66 years old, Zhang Qiuge is working hard to develop his acting career while running his family attentively.
In recent years, he has developed well in terms of career, although he has not participated in many film and television works, but both the work itself and his performance in these works are remarkable.
For example, his works such as "Blue Life and Death Love", "Rules Before Remarriage", "Glorious Era", "Twelfth Second", "People by the Canal" and other works he has participated in in recent years have received not low attention.
As for the family, since untying the knot with his mother, Zhang Qiuge now has a particularly good relationship with his mother, and under his careful care, his mother's old age is also very happy.
He himself lived his life very fully in addition to filming, and now he lives with his family, grows vegetables and raises flowers in his spare time, practices calligraphy and paints when he is fine, and lives his old age with taste.
Although it has become a regret that he has no children in his life, as he gets older, he has long let go of all this.
After all, life is like this, even if you live life perfectly, there will always be some regrets, after all, this is the real life.
It is precisely these small regrets in life that make us feel more real in life and cherish the beautiful and happy things in life more.
For Zhang Qiuge, now 66 years old, he can continue to engage in the acting career he loves, active in the film and television industry and drama stage, and bring good works to the audience who love him.
At the same time, he also lived his old age so well, for him, such a life, he should already be satisfied.
