Siqingova played the role of Bai Wenshi in "The Gate of the Mansion", Bai Wenshi is Bai Jingqi's own mother, the head of the Bai family after Bai Mengtang, and her ability to behave in the world and manage enterprises and families has impressed the world.
The prototype of Bai Wenshi should be Le Shufan's wife according to generation, but many people believe that it is Le Pingquan's wife Xu Yefen. But both of the above statements are inaccurate, what Bai Wenshi did was to combine the deeds of generations of Le Pingquan, Xu Yefen, Le Shufan's wife and Guo Baochang's adoptive mother Guo Rong.
It was Leping Spring who took back Tongrentang, it was Xu Yefen who maintained the harmony of the four rooms, and it was Le Shufan's wife and Guo Rong who were in charge of Tongrentang and coexisted.
But what Bai Wenshi did in the play laid the foundation for respect and admiration, and her personality charm not only consolidated her authority in the family, but also admired by outsiders. Even the enemies said that she repaid her grievances with virtue, which is really not simple.
Bai Wenshi has both the courageous decision, generosity and righteousness, and foresight of strange men, which makes people sigh "who said that women are inferior to men"; There is no lack of woman's nature and a thousand tenderness, her hatred for her children is not steel, and she is concerned in every way; And Siqingova's sophisticated performance even more interprets a spicy, capable, and shrewd second grandmother as flesh and blood, plump and realistic.
Before filming the play, Szczyngova won many awards in film and television dramas, and was a popular actor at that time. Although it is very famous, at that time, "The Gate of the Mansion" rejected Siqingova during the casting, on the grounds that Guo Baochang disliked her for being too fat, but Siqingova wanted to participate very much, and lost 16 pounds crazy for this, which finally impressed Guo Baochang and played the second grandmother of the Bai family as she wished.
After the broadcast of "The Gate of the Mansion", Szczyngova also starred in many film and television dramas, all of which achieved good results. With the passage of time, now 72 years old, she naturally can't act as hard as she did when she was young, and now she only makes a cameo role in some film and television dramas.
Szczynkova's acting career is smooth and smooth, but her love life is indeed full of twists and turns. Siqingova experienced three marriages in her life, the first marriage was in 1968, Siqingova registered her marriage with Sun Tianxiang, director of the Inner Mongolia Film Studio, and after 8 years of married life, she agreed to divorce, and the two had a son and a daughter.
The second marriage was in 1977, when Siqingova and Daur actor Ao Xingchen officially married. In 1983, Szczyngova successfully created the image of the heroine Tiger Niu in the film "Camel Xiangzi", thus establishing her popular position in the domestic film industry. After that, Ao Xingchen divorced Szczyngova because he was not used to living under the aura of a celebrity wife.
The third marriage was in 1986, Szczyngova met the Swiss-Chinese musician Chen Liangsheng, and at the end of the year, she and Sun Dan went to Switzerland and became Swiss citizens. On February 28, 2022, Siqingova's husband Chen Liangsheng passed away.

Bai Mengtang lost the right to operate the Hundred Grass Hall due to the Zhan Wangfu Dagege incident, which led to the fall of the family road. Lepingquan, on the other hand, used only one percent of the shares to take Tongrentang back to the family. Therefore, Bai Mengtang is indeed Lepingquan according to generation, but if you look at his achievements during his lifetime, his prototype is Lepingquan's predecessors, those who lost the equity of Tongrentang.
