The recent fire of "Chosin Lake" has allowed many people to re-brush another war film "Garland Under the Mountain", and like the actors in "Chosin Lake", the main actors in "Garland Under the Mountain" were also well-known at that time.
For example, Tang Guoqiang, Wang Yumei, Gaike, Sichengova, Lu Xiaohe, etc., most of these actors are still active in the film and television circle.
After the release of "Garland Under the Mountain", the main actors in it ushered in a peak period in their careers.
However, the heroine Han Yuxiu's actor, Gaike, left his career in the sky and left the United States, until he returned to the film and television circle many years later.
01
In 1958, Gak was born in Beijing to an ordinary family, the youngest of her family, and above her, there was an older brother and an older sister.
At that time, her name was not Gaik, her name was Gai Xiaoling.
When she was a child, Gak loved beauty very much, she would take half-burned matches to draw her eyebrows, couplet red paper, take a sip, and her lips would become red.
While playing stage games with his friends, Gek would teach everyone how to make up. When the curtain made of sheets is lifted, she will always be the protagonist on the stage.
After going to school, Gek became a cultural and sports activist at the school, and because of his excellent performance, he often appeared in the phalanx to welcome foreign guests. In addition, she was particularly bold, and once, Gak and a few classmates went to the swimming pool, and before they stood on the three-meter jumping platform and jumped down without problems.
But this time, the bold Geek took a few classmates to the 10-meter jumping platform, and no one else dared to jump, and Gayke took the lead and jumped first. Without professional training, she reached a state of near-death at that moment and woke up for a while.
Frightened the other students to get off the jumping platform in a hurry, they did not dare to jump again.
When Gak graduated from high school, his brother had graduated from college, and his sister had very good grades and was admitted to Peking University.
At the beginning, Gak also planned to go to college like his brother and sister, and although she was naughty, her grades were not bad.
But that year, the Central Experimental Repertory Theatre came to their school to enroll, and the teacher saw Gake's usual performance and suggested that she apply for the exam.
At that time, the art exam was all recruited in advance, and if you were not admitted, you could also take the ordinary college entrance examination. With the mood to give it a try, Gak applied for the Central Experimental Repertory Theatre, and unexpectedly she became the first student admitted to their school.
In this way, Gek mistakenly became a member of the Central Experimental Drama Troupe.
02
Around the 1980s, the film industry blossomed, and at the same time, a large number of outstanding actors such as Pan Hong, Tang Guoqiang, Zhao Na, Si Qinggaowa, Cong Shan, Zhang Yu and so on emerged.
Basically, as long as they appear on camera, they all play the leading role. Gayker, who has just graduated from the Central Experimental Drama Company, is no exception.
In 1981, Gak starred in his first film "Su Xiaosan", and Gake performed well when he was a fledgling, but Gaike did not attract the attention of the audience because of this movie.
"Su Xiaosan" has just been released, and another drama "Battlefield Star" has found Gak, this time, Geck is the only heroine in the film.
In this film, there is also Feng Enhe, who is very familiar to us, and in "Latent", he played the flesh-and-blood station manager, who was really young at that time.
In "Battlefield Star", Gak plays the female college student Bai Lu, who went to the Korean battlefield with the troops because she is proficient in English, and in the army, her main task is to broadcast English to the US military and shake her military heart.
Bai Lu is both beautiful and brave and kind, and after the movie aired, Gak received a lot of attention from the audience.
But what really made Gak popular all over the country was Xie Jin's famous "Garland Under the Mountain".
Although "Battlefield Star" is very difficult, the role of Bai Lu is originally a college student, so it is more consistent with Gak's own image.
In "The Garland Under the Mountain", Gaike plays Liang Sanxi's wife Han Yuxiu, a new daughter-in-law in the countryside.
Gak has lived in Beijing since she was a child, and she has never been to the countryside, let alone farm work. When the role of Han Yuxiu fell on her head, some actors in the troupe also laughed at Gake: Can Gake play a good rural daughter-in-law?
Gak held her breath in her heart, and she secretly made up her mind that she must play the role of Han Yuxiu well.
In "The Garland Under the Mountain", Han Yuxiu's scenes are in the second half, but she also followed the crew for more than a year, and only went home once in the middle.
When experiencing life in the countryside, what dirty work is tiring, Geek always rushes in front, she has never carried water, and she picks up a flat burden and carries half a bucket of water, which is no different from the young men in the crew.
When the kind Han Yuxiu appeared on the screen, the simple image and the skillful appearance when doing farm work were difficult to associate with the delicate Gaik.
In the film, there is a plot of Han Yuxiu pushing and grinding, and the bulky grinding disc becomes easy in Han Yuxiu's hands, looking effortless. This is the effect that Gak has been practicing for half a month.
When Han Yuxiu endured great grief, until he saw Liang Sanxi's grave, he vented the grief in his heart, and a "three joys" made the audience in front of the screen cry.
When Liang Da Niang trembled and took out 620 yuan and asked Zhao Mengsheng to help pay off the money that Liang Sanxi owed to the soldiers before his death, the film reached a climax.
It was this plot that increased the pensions of the soldiers who died at that time by 5 times.
According to the pension standard at that time, the standard for the troops participating in the war was 700 yuan for division-level cadres, 650 yuan for regiment-level cadres, 600 yuan for battalion-level cadres, 550 yuan for company-level cadres, and 500 yuan for soldiers.
In the film, the pension of company commander Liang Sanxi and deputy company commander Jin Kailai after their sacrifices are both 550 yuan, so Liang Sanxi's pension is not enough to pay off the debt he owes.
In the end, Liang Da Niang and Han Yuxiu sold the pig in the family before leaving for the company, in order to save money, after they got off the train, they walked to the company.
This plot makes everyone's throats tighten, and the ordinary but tall images of Liang Da Niang and Han Yuqin are deeply rooted in people's hearts.
The role of Han Yuxiu made Gak popular all over the country, and he was nominated for best actress at the 5th Golden Rooster Awards.
But not long after the film aired, when Szchenkova contacted Gak again, she could not be contacted. At the same time, Gak disappeared in the film industry, where did she go?
03
In 1982, while Gaeck was filming Battlefield Star, a middle school classmate took her to a high-end hotel in Beijing to meet a friend, and that friend was Zhou Siren.
Zhou Siren is an overseas Chinese who has lived in the United States for many years, his father served as vice chairman of the Shanghai Political Consultative Conference, and when Zhou Siren was born, his father was more than 60 years old.
After his father's death, the teenager Zhou Siren, with the help of a half-brother, moved to Hong Kong and then to the United States.
Although he has lived in the United States for many years, Zhou Siren still retains a Chinese nationality, and after the reform and opening up, he has done business in China, and he met With Gake's middle school classmates at work.
Zhou Siren is 10 years older than Gaike, and in Gaike's view, Zhou Siren acts steadily and treats people very politely, which has left a deep impression on her.
As the relationship deepened, the young Gayk unconsciously fell in love with Zhou Siren, and they quickly established a relationship.
At this time, Gak received an invitation from the crew of "Garland Under the Mountain", and once he entered the group, it was more than a year, and he only came back once in the middle.
Even so, Zhou Siren did not complain a little, and before he officially became the son-in-law of the Gai family, he assumed the responsibility of the son-in-law of the Gai family.
Gaike's father liked Peking Opera, Zhou Siren would buy a ticket in advance and invite Gaike's father to watch the play; Gaike's mother liked to eat seafood, and there were not many restaurants selling seafood in Beijing at that time, but Zhou Siren would still find ways to satisfy the old man.
Gaike's sister graduated from Peking University at that time with a master's degree and planned to study in the United States, and it was Also Zhou Siqi who helped contact the landlord and helped Gaike's sister rent a house in advance.
After my sister came to the United States, because of the water and soil, I was not used to eating rice there, and every time Zhou Siqi went to the United States, she would help her sister bring a bag of rice.
Zhou Siren spends most of his time in the United States, and Gaike's parents initially disagreed with them.
First, the United States is far away, if there is something that can't be whipped; second, Zhou Siren has a marriage and has children with his ex-wife.
At that time, Gaike was already well-known in China, and he could find better conditions than Zhou Siren.
But Zhou Siren persuaded Gaike's parents with his own actions, and Gaike also insisted on being with Zhou Siren.
In addition to Zhou Siren being particularly kind to his family, young Gecker also hopes to go outside to see the bigger world.
In this way, shortly after filming "Garland Under the Mountain", they got married, and then Gak went to the United States and disappeared from show business.
04
When He first arrived in the United States, He was limited everywhere because he did not know English.
Zhou Siren took her everywhere to see a song and dance on Broadway, but when he saw the agile actors on the stage, Gak had an urge to go up and perform.
So, with the encouragement of her husband, Gak first went to study English, and a year later, he was admitted to the art department of the University of California.
In order to take care of Gec, Zhou Siren moved his family from New York to Los Angeles, and in the New York business, he ran back and forth on both sides.
In 1987, his daughter was born, and in addition to studying, Gak usually taught her daughter at home. She loves romance, planting her favorite palm trees in the yard and planting many flowers and plants.
When her husband traveled to China on a business trip, Gak returned home with him to reunite with his parents and siblings. The couple loves each other and envies others.
Those years were the most enjoyable years of Gak's life, and she felt like she had fallen into a nest of happiness.
Her husband responds to her needs, her daughter is well-behaved and lovely, her father is in good health, and life is perfect.
It was only this happy life that came to an end in 1990.
That time, Zhou Siren wanted to return to China to deal with business, and Geek still took his daughter back to China with him.
At 5:00 a.m. on the third day after returning to China, Zhou Siren suddenly woke up Gayke and said that he was unwell and wanted to go to the hospital.
Her husband was never the most reluctant to trouble Gaike, and Gaike had never seen her husband like this, so she was frightened and rushed Zhou Siren to the hospital.
Who would have thought that just a day later, Gayke would be separated from her husband's yin and yang.
The sudden death of her husband made Gak feel like the whole sky had collapsed. She doesn't eat or drink, and when she sees the hospital on TV, she breaks down and cries.
"For the first week, I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, didn't want to talk to anyone, and lost 10 pounds!"
Even if the lovely daughter is right in front of her, Gak can't ignite the hope of life, and she lives like this for three months, and no one can persuade her.
It wasn't until one day, when Gak consulted a lawyer at the café, that when she paid the bill, she realized that she couldn't even afford to pay for two cups of coffee.
At that moment, Gak finally woke up, all these years, she has been living in a life run by her husband, and if her husband leaves, she can't live? What about my daughter?
Gak felt he couldn't do that anymore.
After Zhou Siren's death, the outside world is rumored that Gaike inherited a large inheritance, but in actual circumstances, because of the difficulties of the Zhou family, Gaike and his daughter did not get a penny.
Usually in daily life consumption, Geke uses Zhou Siren's secondary card, and He never ignores Zhou Siren's business affairs.
After Zhou Siren died suddenly, because of the company's operating problems, his card was frozen, and Gecker's secondary card could not be used. She and her daughter became penniless.
At this time, the parents took out a sum of money to GiveGe, which was the living expenses that Zhou Siren gave to the two elderly people every month before his death.
Gake's parents saved the money in lump sums and gave it to Him at this critical moment.
This money temporarily solved the survival problem of the mother and daughter, and Geek hired a lawyer to start a lawsuit over the inheritance. At the same time, she is also actively making a comeback to filming.
In 1993, Gak and Xie Yuan starred in the movie "NoBody Applause", in which Gak played a piper and performed well. With this role, Gak was again nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress.
Just when Gak was slowly gaining a foothold in the film and television circle and could have done something, she went to the United States without a word, which was once again puzzling.
05
After nearly six years of inheritance litigation, there is finally good news that Gak has received a part of the inheritance of her husband Zhou Siren.
The husband is gone, and the daughter becomes her only dependence, because the daughter cannot enjoy the father's love like other children, and Gak does not have a taste in her heart, she only wants to give the best to her daughter.
Still
As his daughter grew older, Gaiker wanted to give his daughter the best education possible, so when his acting career was gradually improving, Gak took his daughter and went to the United States in the confusion of everyone.
After going to the United States, Gak soon met a third love, an American with two children.
Before meeting this American, when Gak was still at home, he actually had a relationship.
At that time, Zhou Siren had just died about a year ago, and a man appeared next to Gak, this man, as careful as Zhou Siren.
Gake was still in the lawsuit at the time, it was this man who helped Gak collect evidence together and encouraged her to live actively, and the two often drove at dusk, talking about music, about scripts, about life.
In this man, Gak once again felt happy, and the two soon reached the point of talking about marriage.
But for the sake of his daughter's education, Gak had to go to the United States, but the man did not want to go, and in the end, the relationship ended without a problem.
Years later, when Geek recalled the relationship, he still felt that the original abandonment was a regret.
The American boyfriend was nice to both Gak and his daughter at first, and Gak felt that he had found true love again, and she wanted to give her daughter a complete home.
Soon, they got married, and the man and two children moved into Geek's big house.
In remarried families, children are always the main contradiction, and stepmothers are not so easy to do.
The three children are similar in age and often have some conflict. In this delicate relationship, Gak can only criticize his daughter, who often cries bitterly: Mom, it is obviously someone else's fault, why do you always criticize me.
Did this marriage really bring happiness to her and her daughter?
In addition, the American husband often borrowed money from Geck, and the amount became larger and larger, but he never paid it back. Gake began to wonder if he really loved her when he married her, or if he had something else to do.
As the conflict between his children grew, Gak finally made up his mind to end the two-year marriage.
Gak and friends
After the divorce, Gak put all his body and mind into his daughter, and she began to learn how to be a qualified American mother.
In the school's handicraft class, Many tools Gak did not know where to buy, she learned to make friends with the parents and teachers of her daughter's classmates and asked them for experience.
This life lasted until her daughter went to high school.
06
The feelings between Americans and people are not as deep as Chinese.
In an interview, Gak once said such a sentence.
Years of living in the United States did not Americanize Gak, on the contrary, she missed China more and more.
His daughter has a Chinese face, but Chinese she can only say that she can't write, and Gake feels that he should let his daughter understand Chinese writing and culture, so Gake, who came to the United States desperately, once again desperately took his daughter back to China.
Gayke returns to the arms of his relatives again, but his daughter, who grew up in the United States, begins to be dissatisfied.
Mathematics at the high school level in China is much more difficult than in the United States. Every time my daughter took math class, it was like listening to a book. Not only mathematics, but also other subjects except English, my daughter's grades are at the bottom of the class.
The mother and daughter had their biggest quarrel in 16 years.
As a result of the quarrel, the daughter returned to the United States for high school, and Gak stayed at home.
The daughter has grown up and understands that her mother's efforts for so many years are all for her, and the daughter hopes that Gak can return to the show business circle and find her new sustenance.
In this way, Gekke was determined to stay at home.
At first, she was not in a hurry to return to show business, but was looking for the right opportunity. During this time, she has opened restaurants and made bars, allowing herself to slowly return to the life of fireworks.
At this time, Gaike is nearly 50 years old, which is more embarrassing for the actress, but Geek is ready to start all over again.
Since then, she has become a mother professional household, and in TV series such as "Who Is In Charge of My Youth", "My Affordable Man", "Mother's Three Kingdoms Era" and so on, Gak is a mother role.
The role of Gaike's mother has also been affirmed by many viewers, in "My Affordable Man", Gaike plays Tong Liya's mother, a shrewd old lady who hates poverty and loves to be rich.
After returning home, Gak played many roles, but did not win any awards, but she was already satisfied.
"According to the past, I wouldn't play the main role without it.
But now I am happy to play some supporting roles tirelessly, not so tired, and can work in a state of freshness every day, there are people like you, and there is a certain income, isn't it very good?
This contented mentality makes Gak have many hobbies in her free time, she likes to travel, play golf, and also likes to do beauty and visit the market, these hobbies make her life particularly fulfilling.
In recent years, Gek's daughter has also come to China to develop, and after her daughter returned, Gaike became the logistics minister, serving her daughter's life and making up for the arrears of previous years.
In 2021, Gak played Jing Ci Shitai in the hit drama "Shangyang Fu", a role with only a few shots.
Gak once said that I was fortunate to solve the financial problems when I was young, so that I would not run for life all these years, and I have been very good for most of my life.
In the end, Gak's calm in her career is because of the strong economic backing, so that she can be free to be herself.
However, after three periods of feelings, she has already seen through life, no longer has the emotional entanglement of men and women, and enjoys the happiness brought by life and work freely.
