Ding Yongdai: fell in love with Zhao Xuehua at first sight, fell in love for 38 years and had zero scandals, and now his son has become the only heart disease

Under the bright film and television starry sky, "The World" is like a dazzling pearl and has received rave reviews from the audience. In this drama, there is a person's shadow deeply imprinted in the hearts of the audience, that is, Ding Yongdai who plays Zhou Zhigang. His acting skills are like cooking oil on fire, and he won the Best Supporting Actor Award that year in one fell swoop, which can be described as a big winner in his career.

But you know what? This tough guy on the screen is also an out-and-out love saint in real life. The love story between him and his wife Zhao Xuehua is full of romance and legend, just like those classic old movies. The two fell in love at first sight, and since then they have held hands for 37 years of ups and downs, without the slightest scandal, only full of love.

However, just when his career and love were in full swing, Ding Yongdai encountered a problem that gave him a headache - his son. As his son grew up day by day, Ding Yongdai found that he was helpless against this little guy, and even became a little sick to his heart.

What is going on? Could it be that this big star, who is calling for wind and rain in the film and television industry, is a layman in family education? Or is there something he has done that has caused a rift in the relationship between father and son?

The extraordinary path of the star out of the sand

In 1958, Ding Yongdai was just a newborn baby, and was taken by his parents to respond to the country's call to "go to the mountains and go to the countryside", and trekked all the way from Shandong to Inner Mongolia.

His parents were young intellectuals, with ideals and passions, hoping to take root in this land. And Ding Yongdai's childhood, like most boys, was full of mischievous and energetic, often doing things that made teachers and parents cry and laugh.

However, this seemingly ordinary boy is full of yearning for art in his heart. Whenever the school shows an open-air movie, his eyes flash with a desire to imitate the characters on the screen.

He would carefully observe every movement, every line, and then imitate it for his mother when he got home. The mother of this middle school teacher, seeing her son so obsessed with acting, is also full of anticipation.

However, life is always full of twists and turns. The arrival of the special period has made Ding Yongdai's application extremely difficult. He had no choice but to follow his father's arrangement and work as a sifter worker at a nearby construction site.

During that time, his life was overshadowed by heavy manual labor and a slim future. Whenever he rested, he would sit on the sand, staring into the distance in a daze, thinking about where his future was.

Fortunately, Ding Yongdai did not lose his fighting spirit on the construction site. He firmly believes that as long as he has the opportunity, he will be able to get out of this sand and go to a broader stage. So, after three years of busy work on the construction site, he finally ushered in a turning point.

Meet love around the corner, and the stage makes dreams come true

In 1977, when the bell of the college entrance examination rang again, Ding Yongdai, with the full support of his family, decided to pursue his dream and apply for the Inner Mongolia Art School to study acting.

Time flies, and during his days in art school, Ding Yongdai absorbed the knowledge of performance like a sponge. After graduating, he successfully entered the repertory troupe and became a drama actor.

At first, he only played a small and insignificant role on the stage, but Ding Yongdai was not discouraged by this. He believes that as long as there are dreams and persistence, one day he will stand in the center of the stage.

Sure enough, not long after, Ding Yongdai's acting talent was appreciated by the director, and he began to play the leading role in the drama, and his career gradually improved. And at this moment, love also quietly came.

In the summer of 1985, the sky in Inner Mongolia was exceptionally blue and the sun was exceptionally bright. At a corner, Ding Yongdai met a girl named Zhao Xuehua unexpectedly.

The encounter between the two was like a well-choreographed drama, and they happened to bump into each other while walking with their heads down. After apologizing to each other, they went their separate ways, but looking back at that moment laid the groundwork for the future of the two.

Soon after, fate arranged a blind date for them again. When Ding Yongdai looked up and saw Zhao Xuehua, he was surprised to find that she was the girl he met that day. While sighing at the wonderful fate, the hearts of the two are also tightly connected. After the blind date, they decided to leave no regrets and chose to go both ways to love.

With the blessing of both parents, Ding Yongdai and Zhao Xuehua entered the palace of marriage. Their love is like a beautiful symphony, playing the most touching melody on the stage of life. However, life is not always easy.

The Northern Drift of the Prairie Man: Ding Yongdai's Persistence and Counterattack

In Beijing in the 90s, when film and television culture sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, it emerged overnight, and the industry was full of vitality. It was in such an environment that Ding Yongdai resolutely left the familiar Inner Mongolia with his family, and embarked on the road to the north.

You ask him why he is so bold? The little salary of the repertory troupe, where is enough to support the family.

Besides, his wife Zhao Xuehua is also a person in the circle, and she has to go back to Beijing to work after confinement, so the two of them can't be separated temporarily. But this Ding Yongdai, he is not the kind of person who easily admits defeat, he thinks, since the drama industry is in a recession, then go to the film and television industry to watch it.

So, he came to Beijing with his family. At the beginning, life was not easy, after all, life is not familiar. But Ding Yongdai is stubborn, not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and is willing to do any job. Coupled with his handsome face, tall figure and optimistic and open-minded personality, he was quickly taken in by the director.

In 1993, he starred in "Heavenly Road" and won the Feitian Award, the "Five One Project" award and the first prize of the whole army at once. This can be regarded as opening up the way of playing, and his acting skills have also been recognized, and many directors have begun to pay attention to this man from the grassland.

Of course, the support of his wife Zhao Xuehua is indispensable behind this. She, unconditionally, stood on Ding Yongdai's side, took the initiative to solve problems for him, so that he could concentrate on his career. With such virtuous help, Ding Yongdai can be said to be like a tiger with wings, and his career has soared.

From "Bai Baoshan" to "Father Zhou", the life scenery behind the acting skills

In 2002, a criminal investigation crime TV series "The End of the Road" made his name popular all over the country, and the criminal "Bai Baoshan" he played in the play was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so realistic that even the police mistakenly thought that he was a real criminal!

Looking back on that era, Ding Yongdai's acting skills are already breathtaking. The director was shocked by his Izuki Santatsu during the filming, because the drama used a pseudo-documentary technique, and the effect was surprisingly realistic. After the broadcast, Ding Yongdai became famous, and the film about it flew like snowflakes.

But Ding Yongdai is not complacent because of this, he knows that the road of being an actor needs to be constantly learned and improved. So, in the following days, he created one classic role after another: "Emperor Liang" in "Langya Bang", Wei Guoqiang in "Ode to Joy", and Peng Dehuai in "Crossing the Yalu River...... Every character is impressive.

When the time comes to 2022, Ding Yongdai played the role of "Father Zhou" Zhou Zhigang in the period drama "The World", and once again conquered the audience with his acting skills. His performance is soulful and sincere, making people feel the greatness and depth of fatherly love. With this role, he also won the 2023 Magnolia Best Supporting Actor Award in one fell swoop, which is well deserved.

And in the 2023 mythological movie "Fengshen: Part 1", Ding Yongdai challenged himself again and played the role of Nanbohou E Chongyu. His sentence "My son" didn't know how many tears the audience earned, which made people feel his affectionate devotion to the role.

However, there is always a silent supporter behind the success. Ding Yongdai's wife, Zhao Xuehua, is such a person. From falling in love at first sight when they were young to their deep love today, the couple has always been the same, and there have been no scandals in 38 years, which can be called a model couple in the entertainment industry.

In Ding Yongdai's heart, in addition to his love and persistent pursuit of his career, there is also a person who makes him feel guilty and helpless - his son. Due to his busy work, he missed a lot of time to accompany his son growing up. Whenever he mentions his son, his eyes are always full of guilt and helplessness.

Strange father and son, film and television dream inheritance

"I'm not a good father. This sentence, like a boulder, weighed on his heart for many years. Why do you blame yourself so much? The story has to start with the boy named Ding Ning.

Ding Ning, a child who grew up in the shadow of his father. In his childhood memories, his father's figure was always blurred. At that time, Ding Yongdai was on the rise in his career, running around, for his dreams and for his family.

But how can the balance between career and family be so easy? He missed too much time with his son, missed the laughter and tears of his children, and missed those moments of growth that could not be repeated.

Zhao Xuehua, the woman who silently supports her husband behind her, gave up her career for the sake of her family. She tried her best to make up for her husband's absence, but how could the lack of father's love be easily filled?

Ding Ning's adolescence was like a storm. He was rebellious and mischievous, and his relationship with his father was like a powder keg. Ding Yongdai's stern reprimand only made the distance between the two farther and farther apart. He tried to educate his son with beating and scolding, but he didn't know that it would only make each other's hearts more estranged.

But how can the ties of blood be easily severed? Under the influence of his father, Ding Ning gradually developed a strong interest in film and television. He looked at his father's works, and the love for film and television in his heart was like a fire, slowly burning. Ding Yongdai saw it in his eyes and understood in his heart that this was a rare resonance between him and his son.

For the sake of his son's future, he decided to send Ding Ning abroad for further study. This is not only to let his son learn more professional knowledge, but also to let him have a broader world to fly. During Ding Ning's days in Canada, although he was thousands of miles away from his father, the love for film and television in his heart connected them closely.

Today's Ding Yongdai has thought about many things. He understands the truth that "children and grandchildren have their own blessings", and is willing to let young people boldly pursue their dreams. He shifted more energy to the family, guarding the family with his wife Zhao Xuehua.

Looking back on the missed times in the past and those misunderstandings and conflicts with his son, Ding Yongdai still has regrets and self-blame in his heart. But he knows that life has no ifs, only results and consequences. He hopes to make up for the lack of fatherly love in his own way, and also hopes that his son can understand his hardships and choices.

The "evergreen" of the entertainment industry, the "big winner" of life

In the vanity fair of the entertainment industry, there are few old drama bones that can be called "both virtue and art", but 65-year-old Ding Yongdai is definitely one. His acting skills are like old wine, the more he tastes it, the more flavorful it becomes, which makes people have to admire this "late bloomer" artist.

When it comes to career, Ding Yongdai's acting skills are notoriously good. He treats every character with all his heart and soul and lives up to the audience's expectations. Such professionalism makes young actors unattainable, and they all regard him as a model for learning.

In terms of love, Ding Yongdai is even better. His single-mindedness and dedication to love make people sigh. In the past 38 years, he has never had any scandals, and his love and respect for his wife are even more enviable. Such a good man is really hard to find in the entertainment industry!

Of course, as a father, Ding Yongdai may have been negligent in education, but his love for his son is deep and sincere. He loves children in his own way, and although it is not perfect, it is real enough.

Looking back on the first half of Ding Yongdai's life, it is like a legendary drama with ups and downs. He worked hard in his career and ran his family diligently. Although there have been ups and downs and setbacks on the road in life, he has always been tenacious and courageous.

Now, Mr. Ding Yongdai has entered another stage of his life. But our expectations of him have never diminished. I hope he will continue to bring us more wonderful works in the future. At the same time, I also wish his life to be like his works, always full of surprises and touches!
