Zhang Zijian's childhood can be said to be a childhood on the stage. On an ordinary day in October 1968, he came to this world and was born in a family of quyi artists in Tianjin.
His father, Zhang Zhikuan, is a well-known Allegro performance artist in the music industry. Since he was a child, his father has been fond of the art of allegro, and he has been involved in it since he was 15 years old, and has gradually grown into a master performer with a skill.
Zhang Zhikuan has written and performed many popular jokes, which are loved by the audience.
Growing up in such a strong artistic atmosphere, Zhang Zijian naturally has a soft spot for performing arts. While other children were still playing games, the 4-year-old had already begun to learn Allegro from his father Xi allegro.
His first lesson was to learn to Xi and recite the classic "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits". As soon as he opened his mouth, the immature and powerful voice spoke the words, which made my father very happy to hear it.
At the age of 3, Zhang Zijian was able to recite the entire Allegro proficiently, which is outstanding among children of the same age.
When he was 4 years old, Zhang Zijian officially appeared on the stage and began to perform in front of the audience as a child actor. Facing the audience for the first time, he was both nervous and excited.
But when his father's eyes came, Zhang Zijian calmed down and performed seriously. The applause and laughter of the audience were an affirmation of him. Since then, Zhang Zijian has become a well-known children's allegro actor, often performing on stage.
After graduating from junior high school, according to his father's plan, Zhang Zijian entered the Tianjin Quyi Troupe and began to systematically learn Xi Allegro knowledge. Here, he followed the older generation of seniors to learn and Xi, and the basic skills of Allegro laid a solid foundation.
At the same time, Zhang Zijian will also follow the team of the Quyi Troupe to tour all over the country. The stage is his classroom, and the audience is his teacher. Although he was still young, his love for art and his hard-working personality made Zhang Zijian initially make achievements on the road of allegro.
In 1987, 19-year-old Zhang Zijian was admitted to Beijing Film Academy and started a new chapter in his life. Beijing Film Academy is his dream school, where countless young people who are passionate about film art gather. Here, Zhang Zijian finally had the opportunity to systematically learn Xi performance knowledge and communicate with his colleagues.
He was assigned to the acting department and became classmates with Xing Minshan, Xu Lin and others who later became popular on the screen. Zhang Zijian, who has just entered Beijing Film, is full of freshness here, and he actively participates in various performance clubs to study acting skills. In order to change his Tianjin accent, Zhang Zijian got up early every day and practiced Xi Mandarin and standard pronunciation.
The students all believe that this young man from Tianjin is the most diligent and potential student. The four-year cold window of study and Xi life was not easy, but the love of performance supported Zhang Zijian to persevere. During this period, his performance attainments have also been greatly improved under the careful guidance of his teachers.
Whether it is a basic course or a professional course, Zhang Zijian's grades are at the level of top students. Looking at this hard-working student, all the teachers admired him very much.
In 1991, Zhang Zijian graduated from Beijing Film with excellent grades and got the opportunity to work in Shanghai Film Studio. At the moment of graduation, Zhang Zijian was excited.
After coming to Shanghai, Zhang Zijian met Li Ting, who is also an actor. It turned out that Li Ting was also a student of Beijing Film, only a few years lower than Zhang Zijian. Although the two did not meet on campus, they met on the road of acting.
Li Ting's beauty, demeanor and acting skills made Zhang Zijian's heart move. Two hearts that share the same love for the art of theater eventually come together. In 1997, they had a simple and timeless wedding in Shanghai.
Since then, the two have become a legal husband and wife and are working together towards a happy life. In 1999, Zhang Zijian and Li Ting's daughter was born. Holding the little angel, Zhang Zijian was so excited that he burst into tears, he was finally a father.
Li Ting decided to suspend her acting career and devote herself to the role of a wife and mother. The life that the couple is about to start is full of beauty and expectation.
At the same time, Zhang Zijian's acting career is also slowly rising. In 1995, he rose to prominence with his outstanding acting skills in the TV series "White Eyebrows" and began to become well-known.
In the next few years, Zhang Zijian participated in the filming of many film and television works, and gradually accumulated popularity. Especially in 2004, he starred in the costume drama "Detective Di Renjie", which made him famous in one fell swoop and was warmly sought after by the audience.
When his career reached its peak, Zhang Zijian was not immersed in the joy of success. In 2003, a bad news shattered his happy life - Li Ting was diagnosed with breast cancer, and it was at an advanced stage.
The news was a huge shock to both of them. It's just that Li Ting didn't tell Zhang Zijian, but faced the torture of the illness alone.
The invasion of cancer has made Li Ting's condition worse. And Zhang Zijian was busy with work, so he didn't have time to notice the abnormality in time. Their marriage cracked in the shadow of illness.
Finally, in 2005, Zhang Zijian and Li Ting signed a divorce agreement, ending their 8-year marriage. The moment he signed, Zhang Zijian's heart was like a knife, and he knew that he had lost his beloved.
After the divorce, Li Ting continued to fight against the disease, and Zhang Zijian also met the designer Fang Yun under the guidance of a friend. The two who were also divorced quickly came together.
In 2007, Zhang Zijian and Fang Yun remarried and started a new life. However, deep in his heart, he never let go of the guilt he felt about Li Ting.
After the divorce, Li Ting continued to face the invasion of illness alone. She understands that she doesn't have much time, but she still chooses to work while sick, and saves money for treatment while filming.
Even if she is in unbearable pain, she always tries to play her role well in front of the camera and fills the emptiness of life with work. Colleagues were touched by her strength, but they also felt sorry for her experience.
In recent years, Li Ting has participated in the filming of many film and television dramas. What satisfies her the most is being the heroine in "Our French Years". In order to interpret this role, she put all her heart and soul into it.
Even though she is already sick, she wants to leave the most beautiful image on the screen. This became the last work of her acting career.
In contrast to Li Ting's tenacious struggle, Zhang Zijian quickly came together with designer Fang Yun after the divorce. The two got married in 2007, and Zhang Zijian gradually came out of the grief of losing love.
He and his new love have established a warm family and continue to pursue the pinnacle of their career. In the past, he would often think of Li Ting, but his new life made him gradually forget about the past.
It wasn't until 2012 that Li Ting, after 9 years of battling cancer, finally extinguished the lamp of her life. Li Ting, who was only 43 years old, passed away like this and stopped breathing forever.
This sudden bad news caught Zhang Zijian off guard. He rushed back to China to attend Li Ting's funeral. Looking at his beloved's cold body, Zhang Zijian's tears couldn't stop flowing, and he couldn't see her bright smile anymore, which made him grief-stricken.
Maybe he was once Xi to living without her, but at this moment, Zhang Zijian really realized that his lover had passed away.
After the funeral, Zhang Zijian regained the strength of life. He will not forget Li Ting, but he will continue to look forward. Loss is heartbreaking, but life is more than just in front of him, and he has to live strongly.
Li Ting's death had a huge impact on Zhang Zijian. For several days, he couldn't sleep all night, and the picture of Li Ting's life always appeared in his mind. I can't eat or sleep, and the whole person is in extreme sadness.
The passage of time can dilute the inner trauma, which is also the motivation for Zhang Zijian to regain his strength later.
Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, Li Ting had left Zhang Zijian for 10 years. In the past 10 years, Zhang Zijian has made great achievements in his career and family.
Now 54 years old, he has long been a popular idol, and his career is booming. The TV series he starred in are still loved by the audience, and the box office results have reached new highs.
In contrast to his successful career, Zhang Zijian's physical condition has declined significantly. It may be that as he gets older, he begins to suffer frequent injuries large and small.
There are reports that he needs to rely on crutches to assist him in walking, which is particularly ironic in his role as a high-level martial arts master. We all hope that he will take care of his recuperation and not push himself too hard.
In terms of relationships, Zhang Zijian and his second wife Fang Yun also lived a happy life. The relationship between the two remains the same, and the emotional foundation is solid. Zhang Zijian watched the children in the two families grow up, and there was only love and pride in his heart.
He used his own personal experience to warn the children to cherish everything in front of them. Life is like the sea, there are times when the wind is calm and there are times when the waves are stormy. Having experienced the pain of marriage breakdown and the early death of his lover, Zhang Zijian now looks more mature and steady.
He learned to grasp the present and love life. The sadness of the past has condensed into tears of memory, and he must live in the present and become a better version of himself.
Looking back on Zhang Zijian's life, it is not difficult for us to find that the road he has traveled is extremely bumpy, but it is still shining.
He comes from an ordinary family of quyi, and his parents are optimistic about the talent he has shown since he was a child, but to become an excellent actor, Zhang Zijian's hard work and sweat can be imagined.
After being admitted to Beijing Film, he studied diligently and Xi, and eventually became a standout; Emotionally, his first marriage broke down, his lover died young, and he experienced joys and sorrows.
However, Zhang Zijian was not knocked down by these setbacks and continued to live and work with a positive and optimistic attitude. He gradually became famous in the film and television industry, and his acting skills were recognized.
The audience also witnessed his growth from a small role to a popular superstar. Today's Zhang Zijian has not only achieved great success in his career, but also regained a happy family life.
Recently, it was revealed that Zhang Zijian's physical condition is problematic and he needs to rely on crutches to assist him in walking. We all want him to pay attention to his body and reduce overexertion.
His tenacious spirit is admirable, but health is the most important thing. He has gone through the ups and downs of the past, and I hope he cherishes the present and recuperates.
The road of life will not always be smooth sailing. We may fall, we may be heartbroken, we may be lost. But the key is to remain optimistic and courageous, believing that tomorrow will be better.
Zhang Zijian's story is an inspiring footnote: after the storm, you will eventually see a rainbow.
The future is still long, and his story is not yet over. We sincerely wish Zhang Zijian can continue to shine, and hope that he can enjoy the warmth of family life to the fullest. The stories of the past have become dried tears, and there are still many beautiful things in life waiting for him to discover.
