Life is like a drama, it all depends on acting. This sentence is often regarded as a kind of ridicule by people, but in reality, some people really take this sentence as a philosophy of life.
For example, a person named Zhang Guofeng, he used his identity as an actor to hide the fact that he was a fugitive, and he hid for 13 years. His real name is Ji Shiguang, and he was born in Qiqihar in 1972 in a well-off family. However, his childhood was not happy, as his father was a frequent drinker, gambler, and often beat and scolded him. Ji Shiguang ran away from home after finishing junior college and has since embarked on the road of no return.
After coming out, Ji Shiguang met Wei Changjiang at a bathing center. His first impression of Wei Changjiang was very good, and he felt that he was righteous, had leadership skills, and was handsome and chic. When Ji Shiguang was in the most difficult time, Wei Changjiang generously gave him a thousand yuan, making him feel warm like he had never felt before. However, what Ji Shiguang didn't expect was that Wei Changjiang was the boss of a robbery gang.
At the instigation of Wei Changjiang, Ji Shiguang joined the gang and participated in robberies twice. It wasn't until December 6, 1998, when they were preparing to commit a third robbery, that the accident happened.
They targeted a couple and assigned tasks in advance. The two controlled the man, while Ji Shiguang threatened the woman and snatched her bag. However, what they didn't expect was that the man in front of them turned out to be Yang Lin, a local criminal policeman. Yang Lin quickly pulled out a gun to deter the gangsters, but the gangsters did not stop, but became even more rampant. A dark shadow rushed forward and stabbed Yang Lin three times.
Ji Shiguang was frightened and fled in a hurry. Others fled the scene. This robbery brought great shock and fear to Ji Shiguang. Realizing that his actions have reached the point of no return, he decides to flee the scene and hide his identity.
He changed his name to Zhang Guofeng and began a 13-year career as a fugitive. In the past 13 years, Ji Shiguang (Zhang Guofeng) has constantly changed his identity and work location, and he has never dared to reveal his true identity. He was afraid to contact his family and to meet his friends. He can only live incognito in the dark days.
It was not until about 4 a.m. on December 7, 2011 that the police arrested Ji Shiguang (Zhang Guofeng) in an Internet café in Bao'an District, Shenzhen. He finally ended a 13-year run.
Yang Lin fled in a hurry after being robbed, and finally fell in a pool of blood. Although he was saved by treatment, he was left with a severe disability and could only walk on crutches.
The incident attracted widespread attention throughout the city, and the police successfully arrested some of the suspects, but Ji Shiguang is still at large. In order to escape the pursuit, Ji Shiguang traveled all the way south to Shenzhen.
However, new dilemmas soon emerged. Faced with an unfamiliar environment, his undisclosed identity and lack of professional skills, he felt helpless and lost. In order to survive and integrate into society, he began to frequently browse recruitment websites to find suitable job opportunities.
By chance, he found a photo of a person named "Zhang Guofeng", who looked very similar to himself. Ji Shiguang had an idea and decided to forge documents and change his name to "Zhang Guofeng", so as to start his life again with a new identity. With a new identity, Ji Shiguang began working as a resident singer and host in a nightclub. In order to better integrate into society and get rid of his old accent, he worked hard to change his Northeast accent.
After several years of hard work and talent, he has accumulated a certain degree of popularity and contacts in the entertainment industry. However, as his fame grew, he was advised to try to enter the film and television industry.
Although Ji Shiguang knew that he was carrying secrets that could not be made public, he still came to Hengdian with a hint of luck and started his group performance career. With his outstanding acting talent and ability to adapt quickly to the environment, Ji Shiguang quickly stood out among many actors and won the favor of directors and the opportunity to increase his salary.
He has participated in a number of popular TV series, including "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", "The Secret History of Wu Zetian" and "Tang Palace Beauty" and other works. In his acting career, well-known actors such as Yang Mi have gradually emerged, and Ji Shiguang has become more and more cautious. In order to better hide his identity, he took various measures.
First of all, he only takes on costume dramas, because there are various costume shapes, you can stick a beard, wear thick clothes, and better hide your true identity. Secondly, he is reluctant to leave Hengdian, because in this big crew, he can hide his identity more safely. In addition, he did not dare to fall in love, for fear that he would reveal his secret in his sleep.
As time passed, the fear in Ji Shiguang's heart gradually faded, he began to try various roles in various themes, and his acting path was expanded, and his reputation grew. In the TV series "Latent", he played the role of "Sheng Xiang" realistically, and was even nominated for "Best Supporting Actor". With Ji Shiguang's popularity in the entertainment industry, his disguise has gradually been forgotten.
However, in this world, how can a prisoner be free from justice forever. Ji Shiguang's on-screen image attracted the attention of the Qiqihar police. They found Ji Shiguang's file and compared it with "Zhang Guofeng" and found that the two did not look alike.
However, the police did not give up because of this, and they decided to go to Ji Shiguang's residence to investigate. In the course of the investigation, the police uncovered an important clue. When Ji Shiguang learned that they were from Qiqihar, he instinctively said that he needed to pack a few sets of thick clothes before going there, because the temperature in Qiqihar was minus 20 degrees, and the local temperature was 16 degrees at that time. This detail made the police realize that Ji Shiguang was likely hiding his true identity.
In the end, the police determined that Ji Shiguang was the fugitive Qiqihar police finally determined that Ji Shiguang was the fugitive Zhang Guofeng. They arrested him and interrogated him. During the interrogation, Ji Shiguang admitted the fact that he was Zhang Guofeng. He also revealed details of his experience and disguise in the entertainment industry.
In the end, Ji Shiguang was sentenced to the corresponding punishment on suspicion of committing a crime. Ji Shiguang seems to have unraveled 80% of the mystery of the case. After being caught, he frankly confessed all his crimes. Years of absconding life made him feel extremely tired, and at this moment he can finally face the world with his true self and be a real "Ji Shiguang".
He sighed, "I can finally get a good night's sleep." At this time, Yang Lin also came to visit Ji Shiguang. Feeling guilty and painful in the face of the man he had almost killed, he fell to his knees and begged for forgiveness. However, no matter what he says, he will not be able to escape the punishment of the law after all.
In the end, Ji Shiguang was sentenced to 10 years in prison, deprived of political rights for one year, and fined 20,000 yuan. While in prison, he received two commutations for his good behavior, eventually releasing him from prison in 2019.
After being released from prison, Ji Shiguang lived an ordinary life, accompanying his mother to buy vegetables and chatting every day. Once, his private account was recognized by a netizen on a social platform. Ji Shiguang boldly admitted this and responded: "I just want to promote righteousness, self-cultivation and life, and be able to change it over time, which is great!" Now it seems that Ji Shiguang has embarked on the right path and lived a normal life.
However, his story is still worth pondering. Life is like a live broadcast, and we can't make up for past mistakes by covering up our mistakes. Because in this society, there are countless pairs of righteous eyes staring at us all the time.
