The heroic dream of the lonely brave
In October 1958, on a scorching autumn day, Ding Yongdai was born in an inconspicuous small county town in Shandong. Soon after, he moved with his parents to Inner Mongolia, where he really came from.
In the hot summer and long winter, Ding Yongdai spent his childhood.
When he was a child, he had a flamboyant and bold personality, and clearly inherited the cheerfulness and optimism of his parents. The grasslands where sheep swim, the verdant ponds, and the deep blue sky constitute a picture of his innocent memory.
My mother loves to watch movies of revolutionary heroes who are ambitious and proud, and under her influence, Ding Yongdai also germinated the whimsical hope of becoming a big hero who saves people from fire and water.
Later, he and his classmates quietly ran to the frozen lake, hoping to win the lottery to rescue a "classmate who fell into the water". Unexpectedly, when he directed and acted in this scene by himself, the ice suddenly "banged" and shattered, and he instantly lost his footing and fell into the icy lake.
Fortunately, the teacher happened to pass by at that time and pulled him ashore. The predicament of that day became an unforgettable part of his life, and to this day, he still thinks of the stupid boy who almost drowned from time to time with heroic dreams.
A beautiful encounter that was destined to be
At the age of 27, Ding Yongdai was still working as an ordinary actor in the troupe, living a calm and monotonous life. Until one day, a hurried shoulder rubbing changed the trajectory of his life.
It was a sunny afternoon, and Ding Yongdai had just finished his day's work and hurried to the theater gates, and he had invited friends to have dinner outside. Just at the corner of the stairs, Ding Yongdai suddenly bumped into a figure, a girl with long hair and red high heels.
"Excuse me, are you alright?" Ding Yongdai hurriedly apologized, and when he looked up, he looked at the other party's delicate face and deep and bright eyes a little distractedly, and he was a little distracted for a while.
And the girl just shook her head, said "I'm fine" and left in a hurry, leaving only a thin back for Ding Yongdai.
He remembered the scene of that day for a long, long time. Back at home, Ding Yongdai always thought of the girl's unique temperament: gentle and generous with a bit of tenacity, dignified and elegant with confidence and calmness. For some reason, he just couldn't forget her.
Later, I learned that the girl's name was Zhao Xuehua, and she was a student who came to the theater for Xi. Ding Yongdai was overjoyed, took the initiative to ask the head of the regiment about her news, and secretly thought about how to see her again.
By chance, with the mediation of the head of the regiment, Ding Yongdai was fortunate to see Zhao Xuehua again. The two began to get to know each other, and Mr. Ding occasionally invited her to lunch or stroll through the park near the theater.
The long-term love sprouted unconsciously, and the two hearts that fell in love at first sight gradually approached each other.
Career and family are both thriving
In 1986, Ding Yongdai and Zhao Xuehua finally became married. After a simple ceremony, the two officially entered the palace of marriage. Happy love also allows them to walk hand in hand on the road of life in the future.
A year later, their son, Ding Ning, was born. Ding Yongdai poured infinite fatherly love into this lovely child, but due to his busy work, he didn't have much time to spend with his son.
As a result, the heavy responsibility of raising Ding Ning mainly fell on the shoulders of Zhao Xuehua alone.
Zhao Xuehua silently assumed the role of the main caregiver in this family, and she gave all her love and care to Ding Ning. Ding Yongdai witnessed his wife's dedication, and he was sincerely grateful for his unique vision and choice of such a virtuous helper.
Ding Ning has a weak physique since he was a child, but he loves the sport of tennis. He always devoted himself to the court, weaving his good teenage years with tennis.
However, the good times did not last long, and an accident caused him to be seriously injured on the tennis court and had to give up this love.
Ding Yongdai was distressed and took the initiative to take Ding Ning to his crew. By chance, Ding Ning made a cameo appearance in a small supporting role in the play, and this also became an opportunity for him to form an indissoluble bond with acting.
Gradually, Ding Ning found a new purpose in life, followed his father's footsteps, and devoted himself to film and television creation.
Today, Ding Ning is a well-known young director. Many years ago, Ding Yongdai's help and support in his most difficult time became an important help for him to succeed.
If it weren't for his father's careful cultivation, I think Ding Ning's life trajectory might be very different.
Superb acting skills shook thousands of people
In 2000, Ding Yongdai starred in a TV series called "The End of the Road 1997", in which he created the image of a criminal named Bai Baoshan.
In order to restore the role to the greatest extent, Ding Yongdai studied all the files of the case in detail, memorized Bai Baoshan's life background, and understood the nuances of his modus operandi.
Thinking hard every day behind closed doors, how to interpret a murderous and ruthless criminal into three-dimensional reality.
On the day of the start-up, Ding Yongdai appeared at the filming site as Bai Baoshan, and immediately stunned all the staff present. His expression was in a trance, his eyes were gloomy, a cruel smile was on the corner of his mouth, and his whole body exuded a cold and incomparable aura, and the policemen secretly clenched their fists for it.
"What a living demon, exactly like the gangsters I met!" Master Li, a retired criminal policeman who came to assist in the shooting, couldn't help but sigh.
As the scene progressed, Ding Yongdai became more and more integrated into the evil role of Bai Baoshan, and his understanding of Bai Baoshan's distorted psychology became more and more thorough. The extreme realm of performance almost completely overlaps him with this murderer.
This amazing acting skill made everyone present impressed him and sincerely admired his exquisite performance.
Model couple with zero negative reviews
Ding Yongdai and Zhao Xuehua's marriage has entered its 36th year. The relationship foundation that lasts longer than most celebrity couples is enough to prove the unwavering affection between the two before.
For many years, Ding Yongdai has been filming outside all year round to support his family, and Zhao Xuehua is fully responsible for taking care of the family. In order to cooperate with her husband's work, she gave up her career pursuit and willingly took on the responsibility of being a housewife by herself.
After Ding Ning was injured, Zhao Xuehua took care of him even more, and he had to work step by step to regain hope in life.
Ding Yongdai also knows that his wife's dedication is not easy. Every holiday, he always arranges work in advance and rushes home to spend time with Zhao Xuehua.
Sometimes he suddenly misses his family in the middle of the night, and he can't help but give Zhao Xuehua a long-distance video call, listen to his wife's familiar voice, and then sleep with peace of mind.
In the simple life, the two express a deep friendship, and this sincere love has maintained them through more than 30 years of ups and downs. So far, there has never been any scandal of a third party.
In the entertainment industry, such an innocent and conscientious couple is rare. Some people say that their relationship is like a warm and mellow old wine, which has been precipitated by time and becomes more mellow and moving.
The son's marriage has become a major event
Ding Ning is now 36 years old, but he is still a single. As a father, Ding Yongdai is naturally extremely concerned about his son's lifelong events.
"My son is this age, why can't he find a suitable marriage partner?" Whenever he gathers with friends, Ding Yongdai always sighs and then says this with a slightly anxious expression.
The children of many old friends around him have married and had children, and the lively scene of hugging his grandson makes Ding Yongdai even more envious. He often thinks that he doesn't know when he can also caress his grandchildren like this on this day.
Ding Ning has been busy with his career over the years, and most of the time he has been developing abroad, and it is difficult to find a suitable other half. Ding Yongdai, as a father, naturally broke his heart for him. Every time he videos, he always tells Ding Ning that no matter how busy he is at work, he must pay attention to his personal life.
"You have a successful career now, and the conditions are good. Get to know more girls, and maybe you'll find something you like!" Ding Yongdai persuaded.
"Got it, Dad. Aren't I working hard to accumulate some backbone capital? I will return to China after a while, and I can arrange a blind date for you when the time comes!" Ding Ning joked half-truthfully.
"Alas......" Ding Yongdai shook his head with a smile, but his eyes were full of worry, "I just hope that you will find your soulmate as soon as possible and experience the best feelings in the world."
Maybe in the near future, Ding Ning will also meet his confidant in this life. When that day really comes, Ding Yongdai will smile with satisfaction and take off the top of his life's major event for his son.
At that time, he can finally devote himself to the wonderful development of his acting career without distractions.
