In 1952, Tang Guoqiang was born in an ordinary peasant family in Shandong. Although his parents lived a life of struggling, they loved their only child very much. Tang Guoqiang has liked to perform since he was a child, and often imitates the movements of adults in the village, making the villagers laugh.
But in the year when Tang Guoqiang was about to enter junior high school, his mother unfortunately passed away due to illness, and this sudden change caused the family to fall into deep grief.
It was even more difficult for his father to support the whole family alone, and Tang Guoqiang thought that he had grown up and should not add to his father's burden. For this reason, he resolutely decided to give up continuing his studies and entered the society as soon as he graduated from high school to make a living.
Although he is passionate about acting, he also understands that it is very difficult to become an actor with his family background. However, Tang Guoqiang did not give up his dream, he taught himself well, and was finally admitted to an amateur repertory troupe in Qingdao.
In the repertory troupe, Tang Guoqiang worked diligently and constantly honed his acting skills. At the age of 23, with his outstanding appearance and solid basic skills, he entered Beijing Bayi Studio, and successfully played the leading role in the movie "South China Sea", becoming a new star on the screen in one fell swoop.
The audience was impressed by his delicate facial features and devoted acting skills, and called him "Cream Xiaosheng". His acting career finally soared with this movie, and it can be said that Tang Guoqiang's lifelong dream has come true.
Despite the hardships of the past, the future is bright.
In 1977, Tang Guoqiang, who was gradually emerging in Bayi Studio, met Sun Tao, a beautiful girl, by chance. Sun Tao originally worked in the military hospital, and the two met through a mutual friend's introduction.
After falling in love at first sight, Tang Guoqiang took the initiative to pursue Sun Tao, and in just one year, the two fell in love quickly. In 1979, after Tang Guoqiang's passionate courtship, Sun Tao finally agreed to marry him.
On the wedding night, the two hugged each other and cried, full of beautiful visions and expectations for their future lives.
After getting married, Sun Tao quit his original job and concentrated on his husband and children. She is gentle and virtuous, not only taking care of housework, but also fully supporting Tang Guoqiang's pursuit of acting career.
With her encouragement, Tang Guoqiang soon starred in the movie "Little Flower" in 1980 and became famous with this film. The two also ushered in the birth of their first child in this jubilant year.
In the first days, they lived like glue, sweet and happy.
However, the good times did not last long, and as Tang Guoqiang became more and more famous, the time spent going out to shoot also increased. The house is empty all year round, and Sun Tao gradually feels lonely.
The once happy life seems to have cracked in this kind of change.
As Tang Guoqiang's career rises step by step, the time spent out to shoot is getting longer and longer, and Sun Tao is spending more and more time at home alone. What makes her sad is that since becoming famous, Tang Guoqiang has obviously changed a lot.
He doesn't care about his family as much as he used to, and sometimes he doesn't even come home once a month. Sun Tao was full of loss in her heart, she didn't know what kind of person her husband had become.
Since 1988, there have been more and more scandals about Tang Guoqiang. He is often photographed walking with other actresses, and is even rumored to be having an affair with a rising star.
These negative news were like sharp knives, deeply stabbing Sun Tao's heart. She questioned her husband with red eyes, but Tang Guoqiang's denial and justification made her believe it.
One day, Tang Guoqiang suddenly went home and said to Sun Tao in a calm tone, let's divorce the two, it's good for you and me. After Sun Tao heard this, it was like five thunderbolts. She never thought of the option of divorce, after all, she loved Tang Guoqiang so much.
But in the face of her husband's determination, her opposition did not help. After Tang Guoqiang's repeated persuasion, Sun Tao finally signed his name on the divorce agreement.
Chinese New Year's Eve in 1990. On this day when the family should have been reunited, Sun Tao cried silently at home alone. Finally, she chose to end her life.
When Tang Guoqiang rushed home, it was too late. The sudden bad news made it difficult for everyone to accept, and all these mistakes, the mother-in-law blamed Tang Guoqiang, a negative man.
The sudden death of his wife brought a heavy blow to Tang Guoqiang. He never imagined that his decision would have such tragic consequences. In addition to mental self-blame and pain, real doom also followed.
Bayi Studios fired him for his misconduct. Tang Guoqiang, who lost his acting career and had no other means of making a living, suddenly fell into a desperate situation.
In order to make ends meet, he had to entrust his 7-year-old daughter to her parents who were far away from home. However, the daughter was full of resentment towards him, and at a young age, she believed that her father had forced her mother to death.
Whenever Tang Guoqiang wanted to take his daughter back to Beijing to live, he would be met with strong opposition. This also made Tang Guoqiang feel sad.
3 years later, under the introduction of a friend, Tang Guoqiang met the actress Zhuangli, who was 12 years younger than him. The two were brought together by a shared theatrical dream. In 1997, they welcomed the birth of their first child.
However, their lives are still difficult as they are penniless. The daughter also has no good feelings for this much younger stepmother, and always keeps her distance. Despite Zhuangli's love for his stepdaughter, their relationship has never been able to really get closer.
The family of four was in the midst of economic and emotional hardships, and the days of those years could be described as difficult. Tang Guoqiang's heart was full of self-blame, and he also felt pity for this woman who supported him unconditionally.
Time flies, and the daughter gradually grows up, and she also begins to understand her father's difficulties back then. Especially when she saw her stepmother's love for her and her brother, her hostility really softened.
In 2005, the stepmother gave birth to another son for Tang Guoqiang. However, on this joyous day, the ex-mother-in-law stood up again and exposed her daughter's suicide note to the outside world, trying to prove that Tang Guoqiang killed her daughter.
The daughter couldn't stand her mother-in-law's behavior, so she resolutely stood up to defend her father publicly, expressing her understanding and gratitude.
In 2014, 58-year-old Tang Guoqiang finally ushered in the peak of his acting career. His "Lanxiang Excavator" advertisement is absolutely "dominant" all over the country, and everyone knows the "non-hanging excavator" for a while.
While her career reached its peak, her daughter also successfully found true love and got married. Today, she is also a mother of two.
Seeing her father return to the peak of his life and reap the double harvest of career and family, his daughter is sincerely proud and gratified for him. Although my father will always feel guilty about his mother's death, the family of five now understands that only living in harmony is the most correct choice.
