"It's not considered drinking before eight taels" This is actor Li Qi's definition of alcohol, and it is also his explanation of drinking.
When it comes to Li Qi, many people may first think of Niu Yonggui played by him in "A Family in the Northeast", a retired and complaining old worker in the Northeast, but with a warm-hearted heart. The characteristics of the Northeast people are vividly interpreted, but in fact, he is a Shanxi person.
Although Li Qi looks honest, he is a real naughty king, either climbing trees and picking birds, or going down to the river to fish, it is not an exaggeration to describe him as jumping up and down.
Until he was 15 years old, because of social turmoil, he could only be forced to go to the countryside to intervene, and his original naughty nature became much quieter under the influence of the environment.
Maybe he was born to be an actor, and less than half a year after going to the countryside, he learned that Shaanxi People's Art Drama was recruiting actors, and he signed up with his friends with the mentality of trying it out, and finally he was the only one who successfully entered the theater to work.
When he first arrived at the theater, he had no acting experience at all, so he could only do some miscellaneous work, and only after 3 years did he become a full-time actor from a temporary worker.
Affected by the social environment at that time, his career development was not smooth, occasionally he had the opportunity to participate in rehearsals or performances, most of the time he played with the brothers in the theater, and learned to smoke and drink, a Xi habit that he could not quit in his life.
There is not much work in the theater, and the natural income is pitiful, so he can only rely on odd jobs to support his living expenses, such as barber, tailor and other handicrafts, and he also worked as a chef for a while, and specially took the third-level chef certificate.
This state of life lasted until 1977, when everything in society was back on track, and the field of literature and art was redeveloped, and he had more opportunities to perform.
His career has just improved, and his love has also befallen him in his life.
During a shoot, he met makeup artist Gao Li, and at a glance he recognized Gao Li as his life partner, and took the opportunity to approach each other under the banner of various excuses.
Their fate is completely guided by God, it was raining heavily that day, the crew were busy moving the machine, and the generator suddenly short-circuited and lost power.
Seeing this, Li Qi put a makeup box of hundreds of catties on top of his head and quickly moved to a safe area. All this was noticed by Gao Li, who did not think that Li Qi was reckless, but thought that he was very cute.
Since then, the relationship between the two people has developed by leaps and bounds, and the two people always have endless words to get along, and they naturally come together.
It is an exaggeration that the cumulative time of two people from falling in love to getting married is less than 24 hours, and they decide to spend this life together.
After a period of marriage, their two sons were born one after another, in order to provide better living conditions for his family, he decided to go to a bigger stage, although he was 36 years old at this time, he still decided to fight once, and took his family to become a North Drifter in Beijing.
Fortunately, his fellow countryman Guo Da reached out and invited him to perform in a sketch together, so that his family would not be hungry with him.
With his outstanding performance, he was noticed by Feng Xiaogang and invited him to participate in the movie "Party A and Party B", officially starting his career as a film and television actor.
He has successively participated in classic film and television works such as "Six Groups of Serious Cases" and "A Family in the Northeast", and has become a well-known actor.
Although his career is very successful, his physical condition has been poor, smoking and drinking are his daily Xi, and it is reasonable to suffer from diabetes, high blood pressure and other diseases.
Especially his obese body, which caused him to rely on a wheelchair to get around for a while, which was very worrying to fans who like him, even so, he still smoked and drank alcohol, and his family's dissuasion was ineffective.
It wasn't until he was admitted to the hospital because of complications that he reflected on his unhealthy Xi habits and lived a healthy life at the age of nearly 60.
Although his two sons are grown up, they have never started a family, so he is worried, and only his daughter is his pride.
Daughter Gao Ya is his adopted child, but the relationship between them is not affected at all, Gao Ya, who wants to be a soldier because of watching "Women's Special Police Team", gets the support of her father and becomes an excellent soldier.
During the Wenchuan earthquake, Gao Ya took the initiative to rush to the front line, even if Li Qi was reluctant, he still accepted his daughter's decision, which was his indescribable pride.
Today's Li Qi, although he has not performed many film and television works, he has always been active in front of the camera and still works hard for his love.
I hope that he can have a healthy body in his old age, and only with a healthy body can he enjoy the beauty of life.
