Yang Zaibao, a loud name. The main active period was the 60s and 80s, starring in a series of classic films such as "Red Sun", "From Slave to General" and "Acting Mayor". He also won all the awards, including the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers.
When it comes to Yang Zaibao, you don't necessarily know what he has acted, but it is a feeling that he is a good actor. There is a kind of brilliance of character in the mirror.
His wife died of illness, and he remarried many years later, seeking the consent of his former mother-in-law and taking Qian's mother-in-law to his side for retirement. Bit by bit of emotional investment, tear-jerking.

Yang Zaibao, born in 1935 in Su County, Anhui, is a small merchant family. During the war years, Yang did not go to school completely.
In the limited days of school, Yang Zaibao's literary and artistic talent was fully displayed, leading the rehearsal of dramas, and had a considerable reputation.
In 1955, he was admitted to the Chinese Opera Academy, which at that time was still called the East China Branch of Chinese Opera, and became one of the lucky ones in the 30/900 and the only rural student.
He studied very hard professionally, and basically he always scored full marks in acting. Therefore, during his college years, he was recommended to participate in dramas such as "Shanghai Fierce War" and "Rupture", and even performed in Zhongnanhai with the crew.
In 1958, Xie Jin filmed "Wind and Grass", and Yang Zaibao, who had excellent results, was selected to play the leading actor. After graduating from university, he joined the Youth Repertory Troupe and became popular throughout the country because of his outstanding performance in "Red Sun".
At that time, fame and honor could be linked, but it was difficult to associate with treatment. The actor in the difficult period of three years was treated with only 3 small steamed buns for one meal, and for Yang Zaibao, who was tall and big, not having enough to eat was the norm.
After starring in "Dr. Bethune", Yang Zaibao was transferred to Shanghai Film Studio. Without waiting for the fight to work, the special era began.
During the three years of imprisonment, Yang Zaibao was not discouraged, he exercised, sang, and read in prison, and he knew that he would go out in the future, and time could not be wasted.
The end of the decade has begun another spring. Yang Zaibao has starred in a series of classic films such as "From Slave to General", "Acting Mayor" and "Wilderness", and at that stage in the 80s, Yang Zaibao's reputation was unsurpassed.
The enthusiasm of the audience is no less than the crazy star-chasing of young people now, at that time they could not wait for the plane to take a group photo, but countless snowflake letters were sent to Yang Zaibao.

Yang Zaibao's ex-wife is named Xia Qiying, who is his childhood sweetheart's neighbor sister. During Yang's study in Baoshang, Xia Qiying was also admitted to the theater. Two elementary school classmates became college classmates again. Xia Qiying's later unit was the Experimental Drama Troupe of East China Drama School.
In May 1963, Yang Zaibao married Xia Qiying. They have a son and a daughter. During the days when Yang Zaibao was imprisoned, Xia Qiying with children was his spiritual pillar. Xia Qiying wrote to him, firmly telling him to persevere and everything would be fine. She would wait for him to come out with the baby.
The power of love is great, firm in love, giving both parties the courage and strength to persevere. Yang Zaiying in prison has a firm strength in his body because of his wife's encouragement, while Xia Qiying outside tenaciously earns Weibo's salary, supports two children, and lives to death.
October 31, 1975, was an unforgettable day for Yang Zaibao, on that day, Xia Qiying took the child to pick up her husband and went home, and the four hugged each other tightly with tears in their eyes.
In 1983, Yang Zaibao, who was engaged in his career again, did not expect to receive a telegram from his son about his mother's critical illness. During the ten years, Xia Qiying, who was struggling to support her life outside, was weighed down by life and suffered from uremia and was in an advanced stage.
Yang Zaibao, who rushed to the hospital, took his wife's hand and cried silently.

After his wife Xia Qiying died, many people introduced 48-year-old Yang Zaibao to each other. However, Yang Zaibao, who is more in love than Jin Jian, still thinks of his wife in his heart and cannot accept it. In the years since, Yang Zaibao has been pushing back, and he also considers his mother-in-law's feelings.
During the filming of "Two Heroes Meeting", rival actress Chen Liming felt very sorry for Yang Zaibao, who lost his wife, and then another drama "Acting Mayor" let her meet the two, Xiao Yang Zaibao's 22-year-old Chen Liming took the initiative to express her love to Yang Zaibao, Yang Zaibao refused.
Another three years have passed, and Chen Liming still insists on exchanging letters with Yang Zaibao, constantly expressing his likes and love. In the end, Yang Zaibao was moved by infatuation, and in 1989, the two got married.
Yang Zaibao, who had a heart, asked his former mother-in-law for advice before marriage, and after marriage, he discussed with his wife to take his former mother-in-law to his side and give his former mother-in-law a pension. The enlightened Chen Liming agreed.
After that, not only Yang Zaibao, but also Chen Liming guarded this mother until she left. The matter of the two honoring their former mother-in-law was rumored to be a beautiful talk.
In November 2019, Yang Zaibao won the honorary title of Lifetime Achievement Film Artist of the China Federation of Literature and Literature.
In February 2021, 85-year-old Yang Zaibao died of heart failure.
The old artist's life was poor and loving, and his character was high.
