Ren Shuai, who is not popular in the drama, has a "drama face", and has acted in more than 60 works for more than 20 years, until he became popular at the age of 42 for the role of "Lao Ding" in "Parental Love".
The "Lao Ding" in the play is talented and marries the rude and arrogant rural woman "Dehua".
"Ren Shuai" outside the play is handsome and married the ordinary looking Shanghai aboriginal "Xiaohong".
At that time, Ren Shuai was just a small supporting role in the crew, a penniless poor boy, and when he proposed marriage, he promised his wife: he will always be good to her in this life!
However, 23 years have passed, and he now has confidence, I wonder if Ren Shuai after becoming famous still remembers the original promise?
Can you treat your "ugly wife" as always?
01
In May 1970, Ren Shuai was born in Harbin to a family of workers.
Ren's father is honest and steady, silent, and Ren's mother is cheerful and hearty.
Although the husband and wife have big differences in personality, the two have supported each other all their lives, and Ren Shuai grew up in such a happy atmosphere.
When he was a child, in the face of his father's expectation that his son would inherit his father's business, Ren Shuai did not have too many ideas.
Until a chance chance, in high school, he made a small cameo role in the crew, and his dream of being an actor began.
So, when he graduated from high school, he decisively applied for the People's Liberation Army Academy of Art and chose to become an actor in the future.
Here, Ren Shuai met many like-minded classmates with actor dreams, one of whom is the well-known and well-loved actress Yan Ni.
The two were very close, not only classmates, but also entered the Lanzhou Military Region Drama Theater together after graduation.
Here, Ren Shuai does what he likes and follows the troupe everywhere, although many times he plays a small supporting role.
However, the repertory troupe's meager salary could barely make ends meet, and many of his colleagues chose to find another way out and go to make TV dramas in private, only he was stupid enough to devote himself to the drama.
Once when he went home for the New Year, Ren Shuai was very happy to be reunited with his family, so he planned to buy some things for his relatives, but at that time, he was very strapped and could not even get the money.
Half a penny stumped the tough guy, thinking about it repeatedly, Ren Shuai borrowed money from Yan Ni embarrassedly.
Yan Ni also wondered why he was so poor, so she suggested that he take on the play to earn some extra money, but he did not agree at that time.
In this way, Ren Shuai stayed in the drama troupe for eight years, at this time he was close to the year of establishment, and his career did not improve in the slightest.
Ren Shuai's father is a conservative and traditional person, and when he saw that his son was older, he urged him to get married and have children quickly.
At this time, Ren Shuai finally realized that this could not be done, and he needed to find another way out as soon as possible, and he couldn't let his wife and children suffer with him in the future!
So, he packed his bags and set off again at the age of 30 to seek a livelihood in the entertainment industry and look for more acting opportunities.

When Ren Shuai was still struggling with his career, he met the "true destiny girl" in his life by chance.
In a dinner with the crew, the atmosphere was very warm for a while, everyone was busy climbing relationships with the director and producer, and Ren Shuai sat in a corner on the side in a daze.
Suddenly, he observed a very special girl, and saw her running around, serving everyone intimately.
In a flash, the girl walked up to him, handed him a bottle of yogurt warmly, and said, "Look you're not comfortable, drink less bars." ”
Ren Shuai didn't seem to expect that he could also have this treatment, and he was naturally very moved in his heart, which also left a deep impression on him.
Later, Ren Shuai learned that this girl was called Xiaohong, an ordinary employee of a media company in Shanghai, and made a cameo role in the play.
As the two slowly get acquainted, Ren Shuai has feelings for this average-looking but gentle girl, and he will actively share interesting stories in his life with her.
Finally, he couldn't hold back his heart's liking, and confessed to Xiaohong in excitement.
However, Xiaohong acted very rationally, feeling that the two were very different, the other party was a person who wanted to be a star in the future, and he was just an ordinary person.
At the same time, Xiaohong is a Shanghainese and the only daughter in the family, and the two will have to face the problem of long-distance relationship after falling in love, and she has no confidence in the future of the two.
Ren Shuai will not have too many rhetoric, he can only choose to prove with actions, he left Shanghai with only one sentence, let Xiaohong wait for him!
After returning to Harbin, Ren Shuai discussed with his parents and decided to stay in Shanghai to develop, and if it was possible that he would buy a house there in the future, his parents expressed support.
Without worries, the two officially got together and married a year later, and the couple lived a simple and happy little life.
After starting a family, Ren Shuai worked harder, and in order to give his wife a better life, he did not refuse to come and rotate in different crews.
Xiaohong silently accompanied her husband, responsible for taking care of the family and doing a good job of logistics, and gradually the life of the two improved.

In 2007, Xiaohong became pregnant.
Both parents were very happy, the happiest was Ren Shuai, after all, he was 37 years old at this time.
The in-laws attached great importance to their daughter-in-law and came to Shanghai for the first time to personally take care of Xiaohong's living.
And Ren Shuai was filming outside, unable to let go of his pregnant wife, and he was even more worried about the relationship between his wife and mother, and he was afraid that the two sides would have a conflict between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Although he understands that the two are not difficult people to get along with, after all, they have not lived together for so many years, and there are great differences in both living habits and eating habits.
But what he didn't expect was that when he returned home, his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got along happily, and his mother even treated Xiaohong like a daughter.
Under the careful care of the whole family, Xiaohong successfully gave birth to a son.
Ren Shuai "old to get a son", loves his son very much, personally named him "Youyou", and the birth of his son seems to have brought him good luck.
In 2008, Ren Shuai participated in the then hit drama "Crossing the Guandong", and his role as "Zhen Sanjiang" in it left a deep impression on the audience.
Although everyone does not know his name, for a dedicated actor, the role played by everyone is more successful.
Subsequently, he starred in many works such as "Wenzhou Family", "Arrow on the String", "Zhiqing" and so on.
In 2012, Ren Shuai received the script of "Parental Love", in which he played the friend of the male protagonist Guo Tao "Lao Ding".
The character "Lao Ding" is talented, but he is very reluctant in marriage, and he has always wanted to find a wife who knows how to read.
However, the truth is the opposite, the two marriages he has experienced are not his most satisfactory, but he has also lived a lifetime with his second wife "Dehua".
This drama was broadcast very hot at that time, which triggered people's discussions about love in that era, and the role of "Lao Ding" also made Ren Shuai a little fire.
Many people will speculate whether Ren Shuai will have any flowery intestines after he is fired, abandoning this wife who has been with him for many years.
After all, although Xiaohong is virtuous, her ordinary appearance is not comparable to the beauties in life, not to mention the entertainment industry where beautiful women are like clouds.
And this silent Northeast tough guy once again proved himself with actions, and his attitude was consistent and never changed.
In addition to filming, he spends more time with his family, and he has always protected his wife and son well, never using them to earn traffic and earn some gimmicks.
In front of his son, Ren Shuai is a loving father figure, he is not as unexpressive as his father, and he hugs his younger son every day.
He didn't want to miss any opportunity to grow up with him, so he reduced the frequency of his plays.
Some people may think that he is stupid and does not take advantage of the heat to quickly earn money, who will know him in a few years?
Ren Shuai believes that no amount of money is important to his heart.
In fact, he has never stopped filming, and he has appeared in many TV series, such as "Xuanwu", "Father's Identity", "Great River", "The Most Beautiful Retrograde"...
In this era of traffic supremacy, everyone may pay more attention to some handsome men and women, but it is undeniable that old drama bones like Ren Shuai are also indispensable in a drama.

After the hit of "Parental Love", CCTV invited a group of leading actors to conduct interviews.
Ren Shuai told his understanding of the love concept of the role of "Lao Ding", he believed that it should be the male protagonist and the female protagonist, "Lao Ding" is responsible for earning money at home, and the so-called economic strength determines the status in the family.
This passage may give the impression that he is a "macho" person, if a man is trying to earn money outside the home and counts his wife who works at home.
I'm afraid this is not a qualified good man, right?
In fact, Ren Shuai in life is a proper "wife and strict management", and even colleagues in the crew occasionally laugh at him, but he doesn't feel anything bad.
When in the crew, Ren Shuai always remembered his married status and paid great attention to proportions when getting along with female colleagues.
In private, when Ren Shuai was studying the script in the hotel, he had been opening a video with his wife, and the relationship between the two was like glue.
At the beginning, Ren Shuai was still a poor boy who could not afford to buy a house in Shanghai when he got married, but his wife was a local of Shanghai, and his wife's maiden family did not mind this matter at all.
So, when he already had enough funds to buy a house, he did not hesitate to write his wife Xiaohong's name in the house book.
Not only to remember her for so many years of dedication, but also to fulfill the promise to her through these external things,
In addition, Ren Shuai's salary for so many years and the economic power of the family of three are all in the hands of Xiaohong.
Now 52 years old, Ren Shuai's family is still happy, and he has indeed fulfilled his original promise.
epilogue
Ren Shuai is not only a good actor who is down-to-earth and takes one step at a time, but also a good man with a sense of responsibility and single-minded feelings.
I used to think that vigorous and sworn mountains were the meaning of love.
And the companionship in life, the bits and pieces of being together, why is it not love?
