In 1946, Wang Kuirong was born into an ordinary working family in northeastern China. Both parents are front-line workers in a local garment factory, and their families are simple. Wang Kuirong grew up in a poor family, and like his parents, he chose to work in the factory once he grew up.
At first, Wang Kuirong didn't think much about what kind of life he would spend, but just repeated the ordinary life trajectory of going to and from work every day.
Wang Kuirong, who is over half a hundred years old, still works as steadily as in the past, until one day, a chance movie viewing awakens his unfulfilled dream when he was young.
Wang Kuirong suddenly decided to give up this boring job and chose to chase the path of actor he longed for. Once this idea arises, it lingers.
Although Wang Kuirong knew that this would be a thorny road, and it would attract the opposition of his relatives around him, he still submitted his resignation application without hesitation and signed up for the acting professional exam.
Wang Kuirong's choice was as he expected, causing strong dissatisfaction among friends and family. "You're not in your early twenties anymore, so what qualifications do you have to say change careers?" Do you think it's that easy to be an actor?" Piercing words like this poured in.
What made him even more sad was that his wife chose to divorce him after learning that Wang Kuirong was going to chase the dream of stars. Wang Kuirong fell into an unprecedented painful predicament, and his whole person fell into a whirlpool of self-doubt.
However, he still puffed up his chest and chose to follow his inner dream without hesitation.
Amid the opposition of family and friends, 40-year-old Wang Kuirong entered the Central Academy of Performing Arts Xi. Without a doubt, he became the oldest student in the class. But Wang Kuirong didn't care about any of this, and just devoted himself to learning and Xi performing arts.
In order to become an excellent actor as soon as possible, Wang Kuirong is working hard all the time to study, practice Xi, and summarize. Although this road is far from being easy, Wang Kuirong has never given up on his dream.
After 4 years, 44-year-old Wang Kuirong graduated from the Central Academy of Acting and officially entered the ranks of actors. At first, Wang Kuirong could only play a supporting role in some small repertory troupes.
Despite the hard work and meager income, Wang Kuirong is still full of enthusiasm and does his best to interpret every role.
In 1992, 47-year-old Wang Kuirong finally ushered in the first opportunity in his life - played a small supporting role in the TV series "Love You is Not Negotiable". This is a role with few scenes, but it grabbed the shining point in Wang Kuirong's lines, conquered the audience with his delicate and nuanced performance, and won the Best Supporting Actor Award for the TV Series of the Year in one fell swoop.
This is undoubtedly a new starting point for Wang Kuirong's acting career.
Despite his success, Wang Kuirong did not indulge in joy. He realized that as an "old newcomer", it is not easy to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry.
Countless people still look down on him as an "old artist". In the face of prejudice from the outside world, Wang Kuirong was not discouraged, but persistently accumulated performance experience and constantly enriched and improved himself.
He has played important roles in many film and television dramas, and conquered the audience with his stable and extraordinary performance, and gradually established his position in the circle. By the age of 67, Wang Kuirong was already a weathered veteran actor and became famous.
In 2013, 67-year-old Wang Kuirong met the other half of his life when he was filming the TV series "Dog Stick" - Xiaohuadan Rao Xinyu, who was only 30 years old at the time.
The two quickly became acquainted with the crew. During the filming, Wang Kuirong found that Rao Xinyu's acting skills were still relatively jerky, and he often made mistakes in rival scenes, which was criticized by the director.
Out of concern for his juniors, Wang Kuirong offered to give Rao Xinyu some acting guidance after work.
At first, Rao Xinyu asked with some trepidation: "Will an old artist dislike me as a newcomer and drag his feet?" Wang Kuirong smiled slightly, and said earnestly: "I was also a newcomer who didn't understand anything, others helped me, and now it's time to repay the juniors."
After hearing these words, Rao Xinyu was very grateful to the old-timers. So, the two began to communicate and interact frequently. Wang Kuirong patiently explained the essence and skills of performance to Rao Xinyu in the tone of an old artist, and gave his own experience; Rao Xinyu humbly asked the other party questions and humbly asked for advice.
After this teacher-student communication lasted for a period of time, Rao Xinyu's acting skills improved significantly, and he gradually developed a good impression of this wise and funny senior.
She often looked at Wang Kuirong's unruly side face, and a trace of strange feelings surged in her heart. And Wang Kuirong also admires this dedicated and humble junior, and the relationship between the two has become closer and closer.
A crew dinner pushed the relationship between the two to a climax. Rao Xinyu drank a few glasses of wine, and suddenly confessed to Wang Kuirong in a drunken haze. She said that she admired Wang Kuirong very much and liked him from the bottom of her heart.
The sincere confession stunned everyone present, and people waited sideways for Wang Kuirong's reply.
Wang Kuirong's brain went blank for a moment, and it took a while to come back to his senses. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Xinyu, I'm honored that you feel this way about me.
But you're 37 years younger than me, and the age difference between us is just too great...... You deserve better.
After that, Rao Xinyu expressed his love to Wang Kuirong many times, begging the other party to give him a chance. Wang Kuirong's heart was also shaken, but considering the issue of age, he still refused again and again.
Until one day, Wang Kuirong finally couldn't hold himself back and accepted Rao Xinyu's sincere pursuit. Although he knew that this would attract discussion from the outside world and opposition from his family, the two firm hearts gave way in the face of love.
They held hands, held hands, and chose to be together.
In 2014, Wang Kuirong and Rao Xinyu officially registered as husband and wife. The two planned to hold a simple and grand wedding, but were strongly opposed by Rao Xinyu's parents.
They thought that the "old husband and young wife" were unseemly and resolutely refused to attend their daughter's wedding. Rao Xinyu had a big quarrel with his parents for this, but in the end he still failed to touch his parents' hearts.
Despite their reluctance to oppose their families, the two were happily married in the presence of relatives and friends. After getting married, Rao Xinyu resolutely chose to quit the entertainment industry, devoted himself to family life, and accompanied her husband.
In 2015, 69-year-old Wang Kuirong welcomed his first offspring. Rao Xinyu, who is already a wife, gave birth to a lovely daughter to her husband, the first child of the two.
Wang Kuirong was very excited and excitedly told all his friends the good news. He was overjoyed and planned to hold a lively first birthday party for his daughter. Seeing that he was over half a hundred years old and had a bloodline inheritance, Wang Kuirong sincerely felt happy and satisfied.
Later, Rao Xinyu gave birth to a son for him, which made Wang Kuirong ecstatic. Although he is in his prime, his heart is still full of vigor and vitality.
Now Wang Kuirong is old and strong, but he is still concentrating on working to support his family. For the sake of the future of his two children, he chose to make persistent efforts and accumulate more wealth.
So Wang Kuirong, who was old and strong, continued to come out to run notices and shoot dramas. As soon as you close your eyes, ten years have passed, and the two are now old together, and they are still in love.
What remains unchanged is the sincere friendship of mutual support and dependence.
Without this courage and this burning heart, their union may be difficult to achieve. Therefore, Wang Kuirong, who was old and strong, never regretted his choice until his death.
Despite the significant age difference, the couple remained together for the rest of their lives. Their endings have also happened in reality, which is not uncommon. Therefore, although there may be age barriers on the road to love, sincere intentions can often break through all difficulties.
Life is a long road, choose to follow your heart, and never make a mistake.
