One day in 1963, a little baby cried from Ding's house in Beijing. This is the famous actor Ding Zhicheng later, who didn't know at the time that this ordinary family had a cute little life and would shine on the stage in the future.
Ding Zhicheng's family is not wealthy, his parents are both researchers at the Academy of Geological Sciences, and his sister Ding Bao was born with polio and needs round-the-clock care. This made Ding Zhicheng, who was still a child, have to take on the burden of the family in advance, taking on the task of taking care of his disabled sister and family chores.
At a young age, Ding Zhicheng seems to be much more mature and sophisticated than his peers, and he can do housework and take care of his sister's daily life, which makes people can't bear to blame him. Perhaps due to the influence of the family environment, Ding Zhicheng has a good relationship with his sister and younger brother, and the three often complete housework or play together.
Although his sister has limited mobility, Ding Zhicheng never disagrees with or discriminates against her because of this, but encourages her to give full play to her abilities.
When Ding Zhicheng was in his early twenties, he witnessed the scene where his mother tried to let his sister take over the job to ensure her livelihood but failed, and his heart felt as if he had been cut by a knife when he saw his sister's eyes disappointed by her disability again.
Since then, he has had an idea: he must let his sister live a dignified life. Later, Ding Zhicheng decisively resigned from his stable job and began to think about how to make money.
Finally, the money he worked hard earned helped his sister open a clothing store, solve her livelihood problems, and ease the burden on the family.
After solving his sister's livelihood problem, Ding Zhicheng began to have spare time to pursue his dreams. In 1985, at the age of 22, he entered the Beijing People's Art Theater to learn Xi acting, to realize the dream of being an actor that he had since he was a child.
But life in the theater was far from being as rosy as he imagined, with a lot of pressure and competition for resources. What's more, it is difficult to meet the growing family expenses by relying only on the fixed salary of the theater, especially since my sister has another child.
After living in the theater for three years, Ding Zhicheng saw his sister and brother-in-law living a frugal life, and he felt very uncomfortable. He can't bear to let his relatives live a small life, and at the same time, he understands that with his current qualifications, it is difficult to make room for him in the drama circle.
After careful consideration, he decided to put aside his dream of being an actor for the time being, quit his job in the theater, and embarked on a business career to find ways to make more money and improve his family's life.
In the shopping mall, Ding Zhicheng actively learns Xi way of doing business, forges ahead, and works hard. Finally, by 1991, through his own hard work for several years, he had gained a firm foothold in the business world, accumulated considerable wealth, and became a well-known businessman.
My sister's family, who was originally living in poverty, also set up their own clothing company with his sponsorship. Seeing that his family's life is getting more and more prosperous, Ding Zhicheng is secretly happy, and all the hard work over the years has not been in vain.
Ding Zhicheng, who has a successful career, began to have more energy to chase the unfinished dreams of the year. In 1995, he was already a well-known figure in the business world and was photographed by the famous director Zhao Baogang and starred in the TV series "An Affair About Wind and Snow".

In the following years, Ding Zhicheng starred in many popular movies and TV series, and the role he played gradually changed from the initial small role to an important role or even the protagonist.
What impressed the audience the most was that he brilliantly interpreted the role of police officer "Yang Zhen" in "Six Groups of Serious Cases", and his popularity once surpassed the series itself, and he has become famous since then.
With the help of these works, Ding Zhicheng gradually completed the transformation from a drama actor to a film and television actor, and achieved great success on the road of transformation. He became a household name as a star actor and reached new heights in his career.
However, life's highlights often mean difficult dilemmas. Ding Zhicheng's busy work made it impossible for him to accompany his family, which eventually led to his divorce from his wife, and the custody of his daughter was also given to his ex-wife.
The divorce was a heavy blow to him, but for the sake of his career, he could only choose to move forward. In 2012, Ding Zhicheng starred in the drama "Relationship" for him to win the Golden Lion Award for Performance, which is the highest recognition of his acting skills.
In 2017, the news of Ding Zhicheng's sudden death brought him into great grief. When he stood in front of his mother's grave, tears blurred his vision, and his mind echoed with the kind and kind mother who grew up with him.
At that moment, fame and fame disappeared in his heart, and the most important thing was that he could no longer be by his mother's side.
Ding Zhicheng remembered his mother's meticulous care when he was a child, and remembered how she taught himself to be filial to his parents and cherish family affection. He painfully realized that behind his success was his mother's concern and blessing day and night.
How pale is the aura of the popular star and Golden Lion winner, compared to the greatness of maternal love. Standing in front of the tomb, he wept silently.
After the death of his mother, Ding Zhicheng could no longer focus on his work and gradually faded out of the public eye. He chose to leave his career that he had worked hard in the entertainment industry for many years and lived a quiet life with his family.
Now he is no longer the young man who longed to break through, but a kind and amiable middle-aged man. Occasionally, Ding Zhicheng will take on some of his favorite drama roles, but most of the time, he just wants to spend time with his family, especially his elderly father and younger brother who lives alone.
Now, Ding Zhicheng has basically retired from the entertainment industry and is living a peaceful life. This made countless of his supporters sigh, after all, a popular actor and an outstanding old actor turned away at the peak of his career, which is indeed painful.
