Preamble:
It has been said that success comes from opportunity, and opportunity is reserved for those who are prepared. For an actor named Liu Xiaofeng, success does stem from his love and hard work in the performing arts, but the most valuable gain in his life is because of a chance encounter, and he has since understood the meaning of family.
1. Rebel and seek change, and embark on the arduous road of chasing dreams
On a cold winter day in 1971, a family of ordinary workers in Shenyang City gave birth to a baby boy, and his parents happily named him "Xiaofeng". As workers in state-owned enterprises, Liu Xiaofeng's parents live a plain but stable life, and they hope that Xiaofeng can finish college safely, enter the system, and live a trouble-free life.
However, Liu Xiaofeng, who has a stubborn personality, does not want to be bound by a well-behaved life. He longs to find his place in this unpredictable world. Therefore, after graduating from high school, Liu Xiaofeng decisively rejected his parents' suggestion to let him take the university entrance examination, and chose to work in a more famous hotel in his hometown, and began a work life full of unknowns.
"My son, he has a bit of a big temper, and we don't have anything to do with him. Liu Xiaofeng's father, Liu Qing, sighed to his neighbors. Liu Qing and his wife originally wanted to give Liu Xiaofeng a stable environment to grow up, but they didn't expect him to embark on a path that was very different from his parents' philosophy.
The work of the hotel is very hard, and Liu Xiaofeng needs to do chores such as room rounds, registration, packing luggage, and arranging guests. At the same time, he also came into contact with tourists from all over the world. These rich social experiences made him gradually realize that there are far more possibilities in life than he imagined.
The hotel manager looked at this smart and diligent young man and couldn't help but sigh: "Liu Xiaofeng is different from his parents, he is destined not to be ordinary." ”
2. Drama academies to discover their own potential
At the age of 21, Liu Xiaofeng suddenly had a new life plan - to apply for the Shanghai Theater Academy and officially start the road of acting!
The decision came as a surprise to the parents. Although the acting career is full of unknowns, Liu Xiaofeng resolutely devotes himself to it, wanting to pursue his dream through the study of performing arts Xi
"Their family conditions are not superior, and it is not easy to be admitted to a prestigious school. I didn't expect Liu Xiaofeng, such a well-behaved child, to grow up with such unique ideas?" An old neighbor who is familiar with Liu Xiaofeng's parents is so emotional.
From the moment he stepped into the gate of the drama school, Liu Xiaofeng made up his mind to devote himself to his studies and Xi and live up to his youth. Although he did not have systematic acting training, he was able to make up for his shortcomings with diligence and continued to improve in his studies with perseverance. Liu Xiaofeng worked hard to overcome all kinds of difficulties, studied acting knowledge diligently, and was diligent in thinking about how to better interpret the role.
Among his classmates, he became friends with Zeng Tai. The two often discuss script understanding and character building, encouraging each other. In his sophomore year, the college held a national drama sketch competition, and Liu Xiaofeng signed up with the mentality of giving it a try. He carefully prepared a socially significant sketch "Grandfather and Grandson Love". When he stood on the stage and devoted himself to the performance, the audience was impressed by his vivid acting skills and applauded continuously.
In the end, Liu Xiaofeng's sketch won the third prize. This not only shows his talent in performance creation, but also represents the college's recognition of his talent. Since then, Liu Xiaofeng's sketches have also been selected by the college as a teaching model for the performance department. Such an achievement is in stark contrast to the classmates who became famous after graduating from high school, which shows that Xiaofeng's strength is deeply hidden.
3. A professional household in spy war dramas, on the peak of his career
In 1997, Liu Xiaofeng graduated from the opera. is different from classmates who need to start from the role of a dragon, after graduation, he soon became an individual actor who passed the assessment and officially entered the showbiz. Although there is still a long way to go, he has been given the opportunity to perform. This has far exceeded Liu Xiaofeng's original expectations, and he firmly believes that as long as he works hard, he will be able to achieve greater achievements.
Since 1997, Liu Xiaofeng has begun to appear frequently in film and television dramas. He is no longer a newcomer from his previous college days, but an actor who has worked silently in the entertainment industry and has become famous. With his dedication and professionalism and rich acting experience, every role he participated in was full of characteristics and was well received by the audience.
In 2000, the famous Taiwanese director Johnny To planned to shoot the costume spy war drama "The Death of Wang Bo", and was determined to let Liu Xiaofeng play the male protagonist Wang Bo. At first, Liu Xiaofeng had doubts about whether he could interpret this complex character well. But Director Du had high hopes for him, so Xiaofeng mustered up the courage to accept the challenge. As soon as the play was broadcast, his cold, domineering and affectionate Wang Bo deeply captured the hearts of the audience, and the show was an unprecedented success.
For a time, the name Liu Xiaofeng became a household name, and the role of "Wang Bo" has also become a masterpiece of his acting career. Since successfully portraying the role of Wang Bo, Liu Xiaofeng has gradually been recognized as one of the best contemporary spy war actors. Since then, he has been working hard for more than ten years, shooting a large number of high-quality spy wars and historical film and television dramas, and accurately interpreting the roles in the plays. Therefore, he is also respected by his peers as a "spy war drama professional".
With the growth of the number of works and the increase in popularity, Liu Xiaofeng also occupies an increasingly important position in the entertainment industry. The humble ordinary family kid back then has now become a household name. However, Liu Xiaofeng, who has a successful career, is also vaguely aware of the lack of something more precious in life.
Fourth, girl, you have changed the trajectory of my life
When Liu Xiaofeng's career was booming, his life was almost blank. Although he has many female admirers, he is devoted to his career and has always adhered to the principle of not getting married and focusing on his acting career. Liu Xiaofeng firmly believes that personal ambition is the most important thing and will never give up for anyone. This made the parents very anxious, but Xiaofeng just couldn't listen to their advice.
In 2008, on the set of the movie "The Enemy is in Action", 37-year-old Liu Xiaofeng met a rookie actress named Zhu Mo. fell in love with 22-year-old Zhu Mo at first sight, and Liu Xiaofeng felt that he had finally met his soulmate. The two often exchanged acting experiences during filming, and despite the large age gap, they were in good spirits.
A year later, Liu Xiaofeng and Zhu Mo met again in the filming of another play. Zhu Mo still retains the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the year, and Liu Xiaofeng has also begun to have a different feeling. One day, when the two were chatting, Zhu Mo's gentleness, thoughtfulness and wisdom and tolerance finally slowly shook Liu Xiaofeng's idea of not getting married. Perhaps, I need to meet the right person to change some of my opinions.
On October 6, 2011, the autumn in Beijing was crisp. Witnessed by relatives and friends, Liu Xiaofeng and Zhu Mo tied the knot, kicking off the prelude to a happy life. "I'm so happy that my son has finally found his sweetheart. Liu Qing's father said with relief.
Fifth, be a father and understand the meaning of family
A year later, Zhu Mo gave birth to his first son for Liu Xiaofeng, bringing the joy of being a father to Liu Xiaofeng, who was in his 40s. Liu Xiaofeng picked up the baby for the first time, looked at his dark eyes, and had mixed feelings in his heart. He began to reflect on his previous celibacy, and was glad that he had changed his mind when he met Zhu Mo. He sincerely thanked Zhu Mo for the family happiness he had brought him.
Since becoming a father, Liu Xiaofeng has obviously matured and stabilized, and his smile is warmer than before. The crew commented.
With children, Liu Xiaofeng put more energy into his family. He took care of his wife and children with all his heart, and spent time with them day and night. Now Liu Xiaofeng has completely let go of his former individualistic ideas. He constantly reminds himself to take on the responsibilities of a husband and father, and not to indulge in personal pursuits.
When working, he also works harder and is conscientious and down-to-earth. Liu Xiaofeng wants to create a better life for his family, and he also wants to become the hero that his children look forward to. He no longer participates in the shooting of so many film and television works, but chooses weighty works for wholehearted preparation and interpretation. He also knows how to discuss with his family before deciding on his work arrangements, and has learned to balance his career and family.
Watching the two children grow up day by day, Liu Xiaofeng sincerely thanked God for giving him the blessing of a double harvest in his career and family. Now he finally understands that success can give you material things, and true happiness and satisfaction come from the company of family.
Sixth, to understand life, the family is to belong
Looking back on the past, Liu Xiaofeng sincerely felt that his most correct life decision was to marry Zhu Mo. If it weren't for her, he might have been stubborn and missed the opportunity to start a family with his beloved.
Zhu Mo not only gave birth to children for him, but also made him understand the best love in the world at a deeper level. In her, Liu Xiaofeng experienced what mutual understanding is and what unconditional support is. He also finally understood how sincere his parents' love for him was, and that a person's life is limited, but love can extend infinitely.
Today's Liu Xiaofeng is a star with a successful career in the eyes of outsiders, but in his own eyes, the greatest achievement is to have a bosom mate and two lovely children. This injected a steady stream of vitality into his boring life. Let Liu Xiaofeng truly understand that success can give you material, and happiness comes from the heart.
Epilogue:
Everyone's growth will go through their own period of resistance, and Liu Xiaofeng is no exception. Eventually, however, he found the meaning of life in his family. Love can change a person's self-centeredness to family-oriented. I hope that more people can be like Xiaofeng, discover the preciousness of family in time, and realize that having a loving life is the key to happiness.
