"I don't have any special hobbies, just smoke and drink. ”
In 1997, Li Qi became famous with the role of "Fat Cook" in "Party A and Party B" and became a well-known actor.
In the minds of the audience, his image is always a big belly and a white beard, and his real age cannot be seen.
Now he is nearly 70 years old, close to his old age.
As we all know, he loves to smoke and drink, and his long-term bad habits have caused his body to suffer from a variety of diseases.
However, he was fitted with two heart stents, and he still couldn't "say goodbye" to cigarettes and wine.
So, how is his health now? Has he quit those two hobbies?
01 Naughty boy aspires to be an actor
Li Qi was born in Shanxi in 1955, but he grew up in Xi'an.
His parents were very busy with work and had little time to discipline him.
As a result, he became a "wild child".
When he was young, he was very stubborn and was a headache for all teachers.
He can do everything when he goes up trees and fishes, but he doesn't know anything about the knowledge in books.
Li Qi's childhood was "mixed" in this way, and it was really a carefree childhood.
He dropped out of school early and stayed at home, and he had no job to do.
This lasted until he was 15 years old, when he finally found his passion.
That year, he happened to meet the Shaanxi People's Art Drama Theater recruiting actors.
After learning the news, he signed up with the attitude of trying, but the result was beyond his expectations.
When he was young, Li Qi's appearance was not bad, and more importantly, he had a lively and flexible personality.
During the interview, he showed his strengths well, and was appreciated by the interviewer.
In this way, he entered the theater and became an actor.
Even so, his life did not become smooth because of this.
After entering the theater, Li Qi aspired to become an excellent and famous actor.
Because he is not from a professional class and has no acting experience, he has few opportunities to perform on stage.
He aspired to become an actor, so he accidentally became a theater handyman.
The lack of performance opportunities also means that his income is very small, and that period of time belongs to the low period of his life.
In order to make a living, he had to do odd jobs in his spare time.
Tailoring, cooking, carpentry, and more are all skills he learns in his spare time.
It is precisely because of these skills that he has been able to maintain his life.
In the process of working part-time, he met a bunch of friends in society, and his future changed because of it.
02 Two hobbies - smoking and drinking
As a teenager, Li Qi began to smoke and drink, and as he grew older, he became out of control.
"Eight taels weren't considered wine before. ”
The people who can say such things must be some "old drunkards" who have been drinking for many years.
Li Qi has a high attainment in wine, and it can be said that there is no wine that he has not drunk.
He was obsessed with drinking to the point that he couldn't drink for a day.
As the saying goes, "Drinking is pleasant, drinking is hurting", Li Qi has no doubt and has reached the point of "big drinking".
He also unknowingly had some problems with his body.
In addition to drinking, Li Qi also likes to smoke.
For him, two packs of cigarettes a day are the most basic.
In addition to smoking and drinking, he also has serious problems with his diet.
Li Qi almost eats some big fish and meat at every meal, and he especially likes those fatty foods.
You must know that a diet high in cholesterol is very harmful to your health.
Under the effect of this series of bad habits, his body finally couldn't bear it.
Li Qi suffered from severe diabetes, fainted for a time, and was sent to the emergency room.
Doctors reminded him many times not to drink or smoke, to maintain a good daily routine, and to live a healthy life.
But these words did not reach his ears at all, and he still maintained his old style.
His wife and children tried to persuade him, but he never got rid of his bad habits.
Gradually, Li Qi's figure began to get fatter and fatter, and even several teeth were lost.
This is not the state that a healthy person should be, and after seeing his appearance, his wife is worried about him from the bottom of her heart.
His wife, Goryeo, often wept because of this, and she was scared from the bottom of her heart.
That day, Li Qi got drunk outside again.
Seeing her husband's appearance, she felt angry from the bottom of her heart, so she scolded him fiercely.
For the first time in all these years of marriage, he has been angry with him.
He and his wife met and fell in love when they were living in poverty, so there was a deep affection between them.
03 "Nobles" in life
1991 was a huge turning point in Li Qi's life.
That year, he and his wife, who had been in love for many years, entered the palace of marriage and became husband and wife.
Gao Li is a makeup artist, and the two met because of their work.
She is a gentle and kind girl, and she can always bring sunshine and warmth to the people around her.
Li Qi, who was at a low point in her career, was conquered by her unique charm.
He immediately launched a series of courtships for her, but was ruthlessly rejected.
The look of Goryeo's ideal boyfriend, he doesn't seem to have anything in line with it.
At that time, she was indeed a bit judged by her appearance, but she was soon "slapped in the face".
Her rejection did not discourage him, and he continued to pursue her.
After a period of getting along, Goryeo saw his inner beauty and made a great difference in him.
And just like that, they came together.
After a few years of dating, the two naturally became husband and wife.
When they first got married, it was the hardest time for their lives, and even food and clothing became a problem.
In order to alleviate the current situation, Li Qi began to work hard.
Fortunately, the "nobleman" in his life also quietly appeared at this time.
Guo Da and he are fellow countrymen, and because of work, the two fellows met each other in other places.
They quickly became acquainted and became very good friends.
Guo Da saw his talent at a glance, so he took the initiative to invite him to develop with him.
In this way, they collaborated together on the Spring Festival Gala sketch "Snoring".
Li Qi's fate has also changed because of this sketch, and he has finally been seen by more people.
Since then, his acting career has developed better and better, and he has become a famous actor.
His life has changed since then, but his habits of smoking and drinking have accompanied him for a long, long time.
04 The state of life today
Today, Li Qi is 68 years old, and his relationship with his wife is as loving as ever, and he has a son and a daughter.
His son Gao Daizi inherited his father's business and became an actor.
has starred in film and television dramas such as "Western Police Officer", and his reputation is not very high.
daughter Gao Ya was adopted by him and his wife, and participated in the recording of "I Am Not a Star Season 2".
The life of a family of four is very happy, and the only thing that worries people is Li Qi's body.
In his early years, he suffered from diabetes due to smoking and drinking.
In the face of the doctor's advice, he often didn't care, and his physical condition deteriorated a lot.
So, how is he now?
Li Qi interacts with everyone on the short video platform in his spare time, which shows his interests and hobbies.
Practicing calligraphy, making food, etc., are all his hobbies.
There are also some videos about wine, which shows that he has a deep love for wine.
When asked where people can drink the most, he proudly said that I used to drink the most.
Why did he say "before"? Because now he has quit drinking.
Perhaps because his health deteriorated for a while, he chose to listen to the advice of others and quit drinking.
After quitting drinking, his mental state is indeed much better than before.
Hypothetically, with reasonable control, those diseases have been controlled.
From this point of view, the so-called hobbies are not worth mentioning in the face of death.
epilogue
Everyone has their own little hobbies, but if it damages their body because of this, it will be a bit more than worth the loss.
After all, "the body is the capital of the revolution", and without a good body, any hobby is in vain.
I hope that Li Qi can spend his old age in peace, not be tormented by illness, and enjoy the beauty of life.
Now he occasionally appears on the big screen, and I look forward to him bringing us more and more exciting roles.
