Zhang Guoqiang in adolescence, from art school to drama troupe
Seventeen-year-old Zhang Guoqiang walked into the door of the art school with great anticipation. In the acting class, he listened attentively to the teacher's explanation and carefully figured out the hearts of the characters. In his spare time, he often went to the river alone to rehearse and chanted words to the water.
Five years have passed in a hurry, Zhang Guoqiang has succeeded in his studies and graduated successfully. I look forward to being able to show my acting skills and show my youthful demeanor.
After being assigned to work in the hometown repertory troupe, Zhang Guoqiang found that most of the time he could only play some roles without lines, and there were few opportunities. This was a far cry from what he had in mind.
After the performance, Zhang Guoqiang often sat alone in the corner, sullenly counting the few yuan salary in his hand. At the age of 25, he has endless longing and impulses, but he feels that his future is bleak.
In order to survive, Zhang Guoqiang had to do a lot of part-time work. He followed in his parents' footsteps and sang in a small bar. The stage lights were dim and the guests were drunk.
Zhang Guoqiang sang the old songs that the audience seemed to understand over and over again, but there was no joy in his heart. It wasn't the life he wanted.
Day after day, Zhang Guoqiang persevered in this ordeal life for nearly 6 years. He spent his adolescence in a crowd of people, but he never gave up on the pursuit of his dreams.
Finally, at the age of 25, Zhang Guoqiang chose to leave his hometown repertory troupe and rushed to Beijing in a desperate way, determined to find his own stage.
It is difficult to find a north drift
As soon as he arrived in Beijing, Zhang Guoqiang was lost in this strange and noisy big city. He kept running between the major crews, trying to open up his network, but it was difficult to get real opportunities.
During the day, Zhang Guoqiang followed the large army to play tricks, and after filming, he was dizzy and fatigued for a long time. He needs to take a nap in the corner to regain his strength and then move on to the next job.
In order to earn more living expenses, Zhang Guoqiang will go to the bar to sing at night. He was tired of the glamorous atmosphere, but he still fought his spirits and sang the songs that the audience had requested.
The guests raised their glasses and cheered loudly, while Zhang Guoqiang mechanically opened his voice, feeling nothing in his heart.
In the first 5 years of his acting career in Beijing, Zhang Guoqiang lived such a rushing life. He lived a difficult life, but he did not give up his persistence in his dreams. I always have hope in my heart, believing that as long as I don't give up, the opportunity will eventually come.
Finally, at the age of 30, Zhang Guoqiang waited for the first TV series role in his life. Despite being a minor role, he was moved to tears – a sign that he was on his way to success.
The tribulations of life, the watchfulness of love
While Zhang Guoqiang struggled to survive in Beijing, his young son and wife were still waiting in their hometown. His wife was looking forward to his return day and night, and his son was always asking where his father was.
It's a pity that the actual situation is far from what they imagined, Zhang Guoqiang is wandering around, and it is difficult to even guarantee food and clothing. This kind of life has finally consumed all the expectations and waits of his wife.
Just when Zhang Guoqiang's career finally improved, his wife still chose to file for divorce. She really can't bear such an endless separation anymore, and she needs to find a new one to rely on and live a good life.
As soon as the breakup phone rang, Zhang Guoqiang only felt that the sky was falling apart. He squatted in the corner of the crew, tears welling up in his eyes. He is working hard outside, but his wife and children are gradually separated at home; Now his career is promising, but the destination of love is gone.
His heart was like a knife, full of helplessness and heartache.
Just when Zhang Guoqiang lost confidence in life, a benefactor introduced him to a girl in the circle of friends - her name is Wang Xiaonan. The appearance of Wang Xiaonan has re-lit Zhang Guoqiang's world.
She is careful and considerate and knows how to care for Zhang Guoqiang's inner trauma. The two soon got married, and the important other half of Zhang Guoqiang's life reappeared. Now they have a plain life and a well-behaved daughter.
Every time he looks back, Zhang Guoqiang will sigh that the difficulties of life are painful, but the watch of love will eventually come.

Many times, Zhang Guoqiang is hovering on the edge of despair. During the North Drift, a person wandered in a foreign land, and successfully drifted away from himself; His beloved wives left one after another, and his life was in ashes.
But he always believed in one thing: as long as you don't give up, hope will come. And every trough crisis has also made him stronger. Eventually, at the age of 37, he achieved his greatest success.
