In 1979, Xia Yu's parents finally divorced in a quarrel, and he was sent to his aunt's house by his father and has lived a life under the fence ever since.
On the other side, Yuan Quan, who has just turned two, thrives in a warm and loving family.
Yuan Quan's father is a sports committee, his mother is a teacher, and his family is not rich, but his parents know how to enjoy life.
Every weekend, they would take Yuan Quan, beef with their own sauce, brine peanut rice, and a few friends to chaoyang park for an outing.
However, it did not take long for this free and romantic day for Yuan Quan to usher in the first gift of fate.
It was 1988, and the attached middle school of the China Drama Academy wanted to train a group of students from the Hubei Provincial Peking Opera Troupe, so they went to Yuan Quan's primary school to select people.
Yuan Quan, 11 years old, had a compelling aura and was selected by the teacher at a glance.
If she agrees, she will leave her hometown and go to Beijing to study.
The parents were very entangled in their hearts, but Yuan Quan said emphatically: "I want to go!" ”
In this way, Yuan Quan, accompanied by his mother, boarded the train from Wuhan to Beijing.
No one expected that this train carried the brilliant future of a little girl.
Yuan Quan's mother stayed in Beijing for a week, and before leaving, she deliberately stood at the door of Yuan Quan's class for a while.
At this time, Yuan Quan did not understand the taste of parting, until she saw the nylon stockings bought by her mother in the dormitory, she understood that she had to face everything alone.
In the first two years of arriving at the drama school, Yuan Quan had a very painful life.
In the winter in Beijing, the cold is bitter, but she has to get up at six o'clock every day to practice.
In order not to give the students time to stink, the school cut their hair very short.
At that time, Yuan Quan was tortured by training to be black and thin, like a "match".
What made her most desperate was that other students could easily put their legs on their heads, but how long they practiced was still two centimeters.
For this reason, Yuan Quan was not less scolded by the teacher.
When she was discouraged, she wrote to her parents to complain, but the parents' reply was never scolding, only understanding and encouragement.
More than a thousand kilometers from home, the letters became a bridge between Yuan Quan and his parents.
In the 7 years of the drama school, there were more than 290 such letters.
For this little daughter, the parents are particularly distressed.
Every time Yuan Quan went home for a vacation, her parents would knock her a big bag of walnuts and make a big jar of beef sauce for her to take to Beijing.
When Yuan Quan was still struggling with leg pressing, Xia Yu had already ushered in the biggest Easter egg in his life.

In 1993, Xia Yu's father saw a job advertisement in the newspaper, and it was Jiang Wen's "Sunny Days" recruiting actors.
He suddenly found that Xia Yu was very similar to Jiang Wen when he was young, and just met the conditions.
So, the old father sent the only photo of Xia Yu in hand to Jiang Wen.
Unexpectedly, this mail actually knocked on the artistic door of Xia Yu.
This year, along with Xia Yu, Tao Hong and Tranquility also entered the crew.
However, the summer rain at the beginning of the love sinus was not interested in these two goddesses, but was particularly fond of Zuo Xiaoqing, who could dance.
Unfortunately, Zuo Xiaoqing stayed in the crew for a week and left.
The swan meat was not eaten, but the title of "Emperor of the Three Materials" made Xia Yu step into the school gate of the Chinese opera.
Here, the old man of the moon is about to lead him a red line.
In 1996, Yuan Quan happened to see Xu Fan's "Ruan Lingyu" and had the idea to learn acting.
Therefore, she applied for the Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama in one go.
7 years of opera foundation, let her stand out in the examination room.
Teacher Chang Li of the Chinese opera is even more fond of Yuan Quan.
She was afraid that Yuan Quan would choose Nortel, so she specifically talked to her and wrote a seven-page letter to send to Yuan Quan's home.
"You will not suffer losses in chinese drama, you learn the stage play well, and then go to the film and television is much better than directly acting in the film and television."
Under the teaching of Chang Li's teacher Dun Dun, Yuan Quan got the admission letter of Chinese opera with high scores.
In order to send Yuan Quan to the Chinese opera, the parents also spent a lot of money to terminate the contract with the drama school.
But Teacher Chang Li asserted that after the second year of college, Yuan Quan could repay the money.
However, Yuan Quan had just stepped into the Chinese opera for a month, and she regretted it.
She had always been full of confidence, and suddenly found that there were too many people in the school who were stronger than her own professional ability.
For half a year, Yuan Quan felt that the sky was gray.
Not only Yuan Quan, but even Zhang Ziyi, Qin Hailu, Liu Ye and others were driven crazy by their homework and almost wanted to quit school.
Xia Yu, who is one year older than Yuan Quan, is not much better, although "Sunny Days" made his debut that is the peak, but in school others think that he can't act.
Just when Yuan Quan was in pain and confusion, the opportunity quietly came.

In 1997, director Teng Wenji began casting for his three-year-old musical film "Rhapsody of Spring", which happened to have a role that needed to sing the Big Drum of Jingyun.
This year, after Teng Wenji saw Yuan Quan's performance work, he made a decision on the spot to let her perform.
In this way, Yuan Quan pushed open the door of the movie, and Teng Wenji was very optimistic about her, saying bluntly: Yuan Quan will definitely be popular in the future!
However, in order to act in this movie, Yuan Quan sacrificed a lot.
At that time, the school was celebrating, and Teacher Chang Li took the 96th class to prepare for the rehearsal of "Peach Blossom Fan", and Yuan Quan was the hand-picked heroine.
But because of the conflict between the movie schedules, Yuan Quan can only play a little girl in it.
Fortunately, "Rhapsody of Spring" won Yuan Quan the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress.
However, Yuan Quan, who does not like to show off, did not show much joy when holding the trophy.
At this point, Yuan Quan is already a red man in the Chinese opera.
This year, the 96th class arranged the stage play "Liang Zhu" in several groups, and Yuan Quan played Zhu Yingtai.
Those students are very interested, and before each opening, someone will ask, is it Yuan Quan's performance?
If it was, no matter how much the fare was, they would rush to buy it; if not, they would turn around and go.
In the face of such a popular situation, Yuan Quan retreated, she was afraid of offending her classmates, and she did not like to be in the limelight, often taking leave on the grounds of "bad voice".
Compared with film and television dramas, Yuan Quan prefers the drama stage.
In those two years, many students went to the running crew to take up advertisements, Mei Ting dropped out of school in order to take over the drama, and Yuan Quan soaked in the theater except for the time to eat and sleep.
For a full year and a half, she insisted on "morning work".
Every day before dawn, Yuan Quan stood behind the bronze statue of Ouyang Yuqian in the small garden of Chinese opera, and recited "Eight Hundred Pacesetters Running to the North Slope" to practice pronunciation.
Many people are worried that Yuan Quan can't be so red, but Teacher Chang Li is not in a hurry: "She will not suddenly turn red, but will only gradually become red." ”
Of course, such a pure Yuan Quan is also inevitably targeted by several male classmates.
At that time, Tian Zheng looked at Yuan Quan, who always sat up straight, and his heart was splashed with hormones.
But Yuan Quan, a beautiful mountain, is destined not to be climbed by "ordinary men" such as Er.

In 1998, Xia Yu was already an honor student in Chinese opera, and director Juan included him in the crew of "Diorama".
The three-year-old script brought together Peiqi Liu and Jared Harris.
The collision of the three film emperors restored a real historical event, and also made Xia Yu shortlisted for the Tokyo International Film Festival, just one step away from the film emperor.
This year, Xia Yu was 22 years old, his career was booming, but he had gained nothing emotionally.
He had talked about two girlfriends before, and neither of them broke up.
Soon, the True Destiny Daughter who belonged to him appeared.
It was an ordinary day, Yuan Quan had just taken a shower, wearing fat clothes and wet hair through the playground, just happened to be seen by the summer rain playing basketball.
At this glance, Yuan Quan was unaware, but the seed of love quietly took root in Xia Yu's heart.
At that time, although Xia Yu was the Emperor of Shadows, Yuan Quan knew nothing about him.
Until one time, Yuan Quan watched Xia Yu's debriefing performance and was deeply impressed by his stage appeal.
Here, the two held hands, and there was still a trip to the Great Wall.
After taking a glimpse of the playground, Xia Yu went to find help from his classmates before he could get on the line.
However, Yuan Quan has never liked to socialize, and Xia Yu was rejected every time she asked her out.
Later, Xia Yu asked a group of people to go to the Great Wall to admire the lights, but when they arrived at the Great Wall, there were only two of them.
As a result, before the lights were finished, a drizzle began to drift in the sky.
In this delicate atmosphere, I saw Yuan Quan and Xia Yu leaning against a wall, not speaking, and quietly looking at each other.
From Yuan Quan's deep eyes, Xia Yu read out some kind of signal.
On the way back, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the driving can't see the road clearly, so Xia Yu simply parked the car on the side of the road, wanting to wait for the rain to stop and then go.
In that small space, Xia Yu put a song by Aaron Kwok's "Tonight I'm a Little Bad", which instantly rendered the atmosphere to a climax.
For a time, Yuan Quan and Xia Yu sparked everywhere, and the seeds of love took root and sprouted.
Since then, Yuan Quan has performed on the stage, and there will definitely be summer rain in the audience; yuan Quan will definitely hold the scene in the summer rain's literary and artistic performance.
Watching these two people silently support each other, Teacher Chang Li was very happy: "You see, they are not good with anyone, so they have been calm and stable!" ”
At that time, in the summer, I saw Yuan Quan and Xia Yu sitting next to the playground, one holding half a piece of watermelon, talking and laughing while digging with a spoon.
However, this relationship has to go through a lot of farce to reach a happy ending.

In 2000, Zhang Ziyi, who finished acting in "My Father and Mother", took a red belly pocket and stood on the podium of the International Silver Bear Awards with Zhang Yimou.
With the aura of "Girl Scout", she took the first step towards the "International Chapter".
On the other side, Yuan Quan just quietly and Pan Yueming performed a "Blue Love".
This year, Yuan Quan was 23 years old, and her blown-out skin and clear and light eyes were forever frozen in this romantic movie.
In the end, this film allowed Huo Qijian to win the Golden Rooster Award for Best Director, while Yuan Quan was defeated by Song Chunli of "Forever Together" and passed by the film queen.
However, Yuan Quan always did not care about these awards, and soon she plunged into the "Beautiful Bigfoot" crew and collided with Ni Ping.
Interestingly, the character she played in it is called Xia Yu, which is exactly the same as her boyfriend's name, which is really a wonderful fate.
Director Yang Yaya once summed up "Beautiful Bigfoot" in 8 words: no script, no novel.
Yes, the film is about a stark reality: a poor mountainous area, short of water and electricity, and suffering from adults and children.
In the end, Yuan Quan's outstanding performance made her win the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress again.
Coming down from the podium, she quietly adopted 10 mountain children.
This year, director Xu Geng tailored a "Police Appointment" for Xia Yu, in which he played a role to fall in love with 12 girls.
In 2003, the film was shortlisted for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Feature Film, while Yuan Quan sat on the jury at the time.
In order to avoid suspicion, Yuan Quan did not vote for "Police have a date", but Xia Yu still defeated Lu Qi and Ge You to get the Film Emperor Trophy.
After that, Xia Yu flew higher and higher on the movie road, but Yuan Quan plunged into the drama stage and almost lost his life.

This year, during the rehearsal of "The Orphan of Zhao", Yuan Quan accidentally fell from the stage, so that the collarbone was broken and the entire shoulder collapsed, lying on the bed for five months.
At that time, during the "SARS" period, Xia Yu wore a mask every day to take care of Yuan Quan in the hospital.
On the day Yuan Quan was discharged from the hospital, Xia Yu was worried that the shaking of the car would make Yuan Quan uncomfortable, so he stuffed the back seat with pillows.
After experiencing this life and death, Yuan Quan and Xia Yu's hands clenched even tighter.
However, couples who share suffering also have times when they are divided.
After this fall, Yuan Quan was afraid of the rehearsal field and could only continue to pick up the film and television drama.
In 2004, a "Little Fish and Flowers" swept the north and south of the river, and Su Ying, the daughter of the poison queen Su Ruzhi played by Yuan Quan, was proficient in medical skills and eccentric, and gained a large wave of audience popularity.
If Yuan Quan continues to walk on the film and television road, he will be among the first-line film queens just around the corner.
But Yuan Quan, who had forgotten the pain of the scar, threw himself into the rehearsal of Meng Jinghui's musical drama "Amber", and staged an absurd and cruel love with his classmate Liu Ye.
In 2005, the play toured Hong Kong and became popular on the streets for a while.
In just three days, the advance ticket reached 3,000, setting a record for the sales of Hong Kong dramas.
This year, the hot Yuan Quan and Xia Yu cooperated in another "Shanghai Rumba".
This is the first time that the two have combined as male and female protagonists, and the play has earned enough eyeballs before it has even started.
Just as the audience is looking forward to the love answer of this pair of golden boys, the crisis of the seven-year itch is surging in the dark tide.
Yuan Quan has always loved low-key, this time, she said bluntly in front of the media: "My relationship with Xia Yu is insistence, we may not be 100% good together, maybe only 30% good, every time I always remind myself, it may be that we have reached a bottleneck period." ”
In the words, there is helplessness.
In 2006, "Shanghai Rumba" was being broadcast, and Yuan Quan and Xia Yu became the golden children on the screen.
Just when the audience was eating dog food, the intimate photos of Xia Yu and a certain actress were boiling.
Of course, this kind of news of catching wind and catching shadows, Yuan Quan naturally will not believe it.
However, the intrusion of another goddess caught Yuan Quan off guard.
07
In 2007, Yuan Quan, who was less than 30 years old, was inducted into the "Chinese Drama Centennial Hall of Fame" and stood at the same height as Lao She, Cao Yu and Tian Han, which is unique in the entertainment industry.
Watching Yuan Quan so beautiful on the drama stage, Xia Yu was also eager to try.
Unexpectedly, this attempt will cause a big problem.
This year, Xia Yu and Gao Yuanyuan "loved" from the stage to the stage in Meng Jinghui's drama "Sexual Encounter".
At this time, Gao Yuanyuan had just bid farewell to Zhang Yadong, and that pure and immaculate face, Xia Yu could not hold it at all.
Soon, the two men spread the word "overnight at the door", pushing the scandal to a climax.
Yuan Quan, on the other hand, quietly released an album of "Lonely Flowers".
In the process of propaganda, the reporter asked Yuan Quan and Xia Yu when they would get married, only to see Yuan Quan's face look embarrassed, and it took a long time before he came up with a sentence: "The plan is not as fast as the change, I can't control it alone." ”
Not long after, the news of Yuan Quan and Xia Yu's breakup was full of storms in the city.
However, as for the reason for the breakup, the outside world broke the news not because of Gao Yuanyuan, but because Yuan Quan's temper was too big.
Just when everyone was sorry for the golden boy and jade girl, a dramatic scene was staged.
In October of that year, after the End of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, Yuan Quan was surrounded by fans.
Suddenly, Xia Yu rushed out, pulled Yuan Quan up and went outside.
This "hero saves the United States" made these two people the biggest news of the day.
The next day, Xia Yu and Yuan Quan appeared at the airport hand in hand.
High-profile compounding, re-repairing the old good, adding a strong touch of color to this relationship.
In 2009, Gao Yuanyuan threw himself into Xiao Wei's arms, and Xia Yu and Yuan Quan registered their marriage.
No weddings, no wedding photos, they just went back to where love began and took a set of photos.
The next year, Yuan Quan gave birth to a daughter, who was named "Haha" because she loved to laugh.
In order to accompany the growth of this new life, Yuan Quan completely suspended his work for two years.
When she was back on the stage, she was so shining again.
In 2013, the drama "Jane Eyre" won the Plum Blossom Award for Yuan Quan, and she did not cry with joy, but said lightly: I am full of awe.
Over the years, Yuan Quan has always wandered outside the entertainment circle, she does not go on variety shows, rarely endorses advertising, but has always adhered to her original intention.
Outside the drama stage, she did not put down the film and television drama.
From "The First Half of My Life" and "囧Mom" to "Captain China" and "Chinese Doctor", she interpreted the best appearance of a middle-aged actress.
The actresses who are at the same time as Yuan Quan, some go international, some pursue fame and profit, but she, not hurried, has always lived up to her life on her own track.
Nowadays, the entertainment industry has changed suddenly, the top stream has collapsed, but she loves Yuan Quan more, sober and independent, and she will go further.
