Late at night on May 11, 2004, a shocking tragedy occurred under the Baishi Bridge on the main road of Xizhimenwai Street in Haidian District, Beijing. A Mercedes-Benz limousine with Beijing CF8740 as the license plate number collided violently with a truck, and Niu Zhenhua, a 48-year-old actor who drove a luxury car, died on the spot.
After the accident, the police quickly arrived at the scene to investigate and collect evidence. According to the analysis of blood samples, Niu Zhenhua's alcohol content per 100 milliliters of blood at that time was as high as 205 milligrams, which was obviously to the level of drunk driving.
What's worse is that after further verification, Niu Zhenhua did not wear a seat belt, which aggravated the fatal injury of the accident.
Previously, Niu Zhenhua was at the peak of his career, and he starred in many award-winning films with his outstanding acting talent and superb acting skills, especially "Face to Face, Back to Back" starring in 1995, which won him the highest honor of the best actor crown at the Tokyo International Film Festival.
Niu Zhenhua's death undoubtedly sounded the alarm about the fragility of life. As a result, the serious harm of drunk driving has once again been put on the surface, causing countless people to think deeply.
We have seen the fleeting of life, and we have also seen a generation of actors pay the price of their lives because of their small confusion. This is deplorable, and it also makes us more reverent of life, stay away from all dangerous driving behaviors such as drunk driving, and travel safely and civilly.
Only by learning from such a tragedy can we avoid a recurrence of the tragedy and cherish precious lives.
Looking back on the legendary experience of Niu Zhenhua's life, it is like a magnificent drama, full of ups and downs and twists and turns. In 1972, Niu Zhenhua, who was only 16 years old, responded to the party's call and left his hometown to join the Henan Village Brigade of Pinggezhuang Commune, Shunyi County, which opened a new page in his life - to be an educated youth.
However, it is very different from the life of the educated youth that Niu Zhenhua expected, and here he finds that there is no innocent and lovely girl to accompany him, but instead there is endless farm work in front of him for him to complete.
The aggrieved Niu Zhenhua and other male intellectuals formed a small gang, swaying their youthful blood in this remote countryside without scruples, and occasionally stealing eggs, watermelons and other items to add fun to life.
It's like a modern-day version of a gangster, just greedy for pleasure and unwilling to pay the price.
Just when Niu Zhenhua was about to fall completely, the god of fate sent a noble man named Du Xiang. Du Xiang is an ordinary cadre of the Shunyi County Cultural Center, he saw Niu Zhenhua's unique acting talent, and taught him many life concepts and moral concepts step by step, and finally recommended him to be a member of the propaganda team of the Henan Village Brigade, so that Niu Zhenhua was back on the right path.
In 1974, Niu Zhenhua joined the canteen of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications in Beijing as a chef. This new job opened the door to opportunities for him to pursue his artistic dreams. After working here for 4 years, he joined the amateur art troupe of Xicheng Cultural Center in 1978 and started his career as a cross talk performer.
Here, Niu Zhenhua had the honor to worship the master of cross talk Hui Wanhua, and under the teacher's words and deeds, his artistic attainments were improving day by day, and his personal talent was able to shine.
In 1981, Niu Zhenhua finally realized his childhood dream - to become a soldier, and he was hired by the Air Politics Art Troupe. Since then, Niu Zhenhua has started a new military career.
In the process of touring with the troupe, Niu Zhenhua won the applause and warm cheers of the soldiers and civilians who came to watch many times with his superb performance skills.
Whenever he talked eloquently and made witty remarks, there were always bursts of heart-warming laughter and thunderous applause. Everyone was impressed by his witty and humorous ability to adapt on the spot.
It's a pity that although Niu Zhenhua is already a well-known star, due to some institutional restrictions in the military, he has never had the opportunity to touch a higher stage of film and television career.
The long-awaited role opportunities passed him mercilessly again and again.
After repeated pondering, Niu Zhenhua finally made up his mind to follow his inner enthusiasm and devote himself to his favorite acting career. So, under the difficult choice, he chose to leave the familiar environment of the army.
After leaving the army, Niu Zhenhua first joined the China Broadcasting Art Troupe. It was here that he met Huang Jianxin, a well-known director of the year. Huang Jianxin soon took a fancy to Niu Zhenhua's extraordinary acting talent, and successively used him to star in many film and television works, thus opening the door to success for Niu Zhenhua in the film and television industry and opening a new chapter in his career.
After leaving the army, Niu Zhenhua's film and television career was booming, and he quickly rose to prominence with his outstanding acting talent and superb acting skills. In 1987, Niu Zhenhua starred in his debut film "The Five" at the invitation of director Xie Tian, and brilliantly interpreted the role of supporting role Suo Qi in the play, allowing the audience to see his excellence.
Since then, he has starred in many films including "Vientiane in the World", "The Mystery of the Time Bomb", "Sadness" and so on.
Especially in 1992, Niu Zhenhua was discovered by director Huang Jianxin by chance and starred in the movie "Stand at the Address, Don't Lie Down" directed by Huang. In this work, Niu Zhenhua's character Zhang Yongwu is deeply popular, and his delicate and nuanced performance techniques are unforgettable.
In the end, this film not only won awards at the first China University Student Film Festival and Harbin Film Festival that year, but also won the Chinese Film Government Award that year, which can be described as a win-win masterpiece of word-of-mouth and box office.
In the same year, Niu Zhenhua starred in another masterpiece directed by Huang Jianxin "Face to Face, Back to Back", and was honored to become the protagonist of the film.
In order to better interpret the role, Niu Zhenhua did not hesitate to reject all other physical and financial temptations and devoted himself to the filming of this film.
After a lot of hardships, the movie "Face to Face, Back to Back" finally officially met the audience in 1995, and Niu Zhenhua's performance also won unanimous praise from industry insiders.
This work finally won a number of heavyweight awards in one fell swoop, including the Best Actor Award at the 7th Tokyo International Film Festival, and Niu Zhenhua was also awarded the throne of the "Best Actor" of the year, and his life reached the pinnacle of supremacy.
While his career is at its peak, Niu Zhenhua's private life is also full of ups and downs. He and his wife Liu Jinhua have been accompanied by many ups and downs.
Looking back on the past, in 1981, when Niu Zhenhua first joined the Kongzheng Art Troupe, their family of three was arranged to live in a rented room of only 10 square meters, and the living environment was poor.
But even so, the relationship between the two has never been affected in the slightest, and they still love each other and share weal and woe.
Later, with the take-off of Niu Zhenhua's film and television career, their living conditions have been greatly improved. But even though the gold, silver and jewelry at home are piled up, the couple has never been arrogant and complacent, but more humble and low-key.
Along the way, Liu Jinhua has always been Niu Zhenhua's most solid pillar and support, no matter whether he is in good times or bad, she silently supports her side and guards this family in her own way.
Until that fateful night struck, on May 11, 2004, disaster struck suddenly, and I was caught off guard. Niu Zhenhua's body was taken to Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, and Liu Jinhua stood outside the morgue and finally burst into tears.
She knew that her long-awaited husband was gone forever, and she would never see him again on the long road of life.
Although Liu Jinhua's heart is like a knife, she still maintains her inner strength, sorting out her relics for her husband and arranging the future. At the memorial service on May 16, countless friends of Niu Zhenhua came to mourn, all of whom believed that his dedication, hard work, optimism and self-motivated spirit deserve to be remembered and praised forever.
The legendary experience of Niu Zhenhua's life is like a magnificent drama, with ups and downs, plot twists and turns, and finally came to a curtain call in a deafening car accident.
His tragic death is yet another wake-up call to the fragility of life.
We should draw profound inspiration from this painful lesson, revere life, and stay away from all dangerous driving behaviors such as drunk driving. At the same time, we must also love life, embrace the present, realize our life ideals and ambitions, write a wonderful and splendid chapter of life, and live up to the expectations and trust of others.
Only in this way can we avoid repeating the mistakes of the past and live up to our short and precious lives.
