Recalling Wei Zongwan's life process, his starting point can be described as a winning choice. Born in a noble family in Shanghai in the 30s of the last century, as a descendant of the family, Xiao Wei Zongwan should have enjoyed a good life.
But since he was a child, he developed an indelible enthusiasm for theatrical performances, which is very different from the image of the "Qiankun scholar" that his family expected.
Despite all kinds of opposition from his family, and even severe punishment, trying to make him give up this "low" career, the teenager is still determined and determined to embark on the road of acting.
"How could you, a son from a prominent background, give up your iron job and devote yourself to this despicable 'drama' business?" Faced with his family's doubts, Wei Zongwan responded calmly: "This is my life choice, and I am willing to fight for it for the rest of my life."
Even though he was beaten by Yan's father in the end, he never wavered in his determination and still firmly applied for the Shanghai Theater Academy.
In the tempering of the academy, this teenager continued to practice his acting skills, and finally had the honor to appear on the stage of the Shanghai People's Art Theater when he graduated and began his professional acting career.
Although the industry was still suffering from discrimination and prejudice from the world at that time, Wei Zongwan was never shaken by these views, but strengthened his dream.
He resolutely gave up the stable job arranged for him by his family and chose the path of fighting alone.
"Why do you have to do such a lowly profession for a person like you, who is from a privileged family? The persuasion of relatives and friends came like a tide, but Wei Zongwan only smiled slightly and replied firmly: "This is my life pursuit, and I am willing to give everything for it."
In this way, with his professionalism and tenacity, Wei Zongwan finally achieved great results in his acting career and won numerous praises. Whether it is on the stage of movies or dramas, he has created many amazing classic images with his superb acting skills, and has become a "national treasure actor" in the entertainment industry.
However, Wei Zongwan, who is now 84 years old, still lives with his wife in a simple rental house, and his life can be described as very bleak. This kind of gap makes passers-by feel embarrassed and regretful.
However, it is precisely by looking back on the twists and turns of this legendary artist's life that we can truly understand that his original intention and belief in the pursuit of art has always been the highest pursuit of his life.
Make a firm choice
Wei Zongwan, who was born in an aristocratic family in Shanghai in the 30s of the last century, should have been a rich son who enjoyed a good life. But from an early age, he developed a strong interest in theatrical performance, which was very different from the image of the elegant scholar that his family expected.
Although his family did everything to obstruct him, and even beat him with a "ring ruler" to try to make him give up this "lowly" path, the young Wei Zongwan never wavered in his determination.
"How can you do such a contemptible 'drama' job with such a noble and wealthy status? In the face of the strong opposition of his family, Wei Zongwan was not afraid, but replied calmly: "This is my life pursuit, and I am willing to fight for it all my life."
Even though he was eventually beaten by his strict father and even threatened to be evicted from the house, he remained unmoved, and was always determined to embark on the path of pursuing his artistic dreams. It wasn't until the family finally realized that they couldn't change the teenager's determination that they reluctantly accepted his choice.
Later, according to his family's expectations, Wei Zongwan successfully obtained a permanent job in the factory that everyone wanted. But he still couldn't give up his inner artistic enthusiasm, and resolutely applied for the Shanghai Theater Academy.
"With your family background and academic performance, how can people accept you? You should wake up early, why bother to ask for hardship!" Friends and relatives once again doused his dreams with doubts and cold water.
However, Wei Zongwan was not shaken by these blows in the slightest, but strengthened his determination. In the end, after three assessments, he finally got his wish and entered the drama school of his dreams.
Since then, he has started his acting career.
In the baptism of the academy, the young Wei Zongwan continued to practice and improve his acting skills, and finally had the honor to appear on the stage of the Shanghai People's Art Theater when he graduated.
Even though the industry was still suffering from discrimination and prejudice from the world at that time, he was never influenced by these negative perceptions, but became more determined in his artistic pursuits.
In this way, in the following decades, Wei Zongwan won wide acclaim in the film and television industry with his excellent acting skills and professionalism. He has played important roles in many popular TV series and movies, and has created many unforgettable classic images.
It can be said that this young man from a famous family finally used his tenacity to break out of the world on the road of art.
A moment of major breakthrough
In the 80s of the last century, Wei Zongwan, who had accumulated many years of drama experience, ushered in a major turning point in his career. In 1982, when he received an invitation from the famous director Zhang Junzhao to star in the movie "One and Eight", he made waves in his heart.
This was not only his screen debut, but also marked his official foray into the film industry.
At that time, the 44-year-old Wei Zongwan had accumulated a wealth of acting experience on the drama stage, but he was still a newcomer in the film field. Out of caution, Director Zhang also expressed his worries many times when discussing the role with him: "After all, you are acting in a movie for the first time, and your acting skills have not been honed, so I am afraid it will be difficult for me to arrange too important roles for you."
However, when the shooting began, Wei Zongwan completely lit up the small role he played with his amazing artistic talent, which was refreshing. His delicate and nuanced performance even fascinated Director Zhang, who is known for his well-informed.
"If the head of the troupe hadn't told me personally, I couldn't believe that you were a rookie actor who was acting in a movie for the first time!" Director Zhang sighed sincerely.
In this way, with this movie, Wei Zongwan became famous in one fell swoop and caused a sensation in the film and television industry. Subsequently, he successively played important roles in many works such as "The Story of Bandits in Xiangxi", and became the favored object of many well-known directors.
What is surprising is that even though his career is in full swing, Wei Zongwan still maintains his original professional ethics and professional attitude. During the filming, he never relied on a stand-in, but completed all the complex action scenes himself, striving for excellence.
He also declined some invitations to advertising endorsements and variety shows one by one, insisting on not touching any commercial activities that might affect his reputation.
At the same time, Wei Zongwan's reputation is also becoming increasingly loud in the film and television industry. The famous director Zhang Yimou even publicly stated that Wei Zongwan is the irreplaceable best supporting role in his heart.
It can be said that this veteran actor with superb acting skills has become a "priceless treasure" in the minds of many well-known directors.
However, just when Wei Zongwan's career was in full swing, his personal life suffered major upheaval. The separation of his family and the fundamental loss of his family have made this once famous actor fall into unprecedented confusion.
At this juncture, a lady named Zhou Weiming quietly appeared in his life and started a touching love story.
Love story
Just when Wei Zongwan's career was booming and his fame was rising, his personal life suffered major upheaval. The separation of his family and the fundamental loss of his family have made this once famous actor fall into unprecedented confusion.
However, at this juncture, a lady named Zhou Weiming quietly appeared in his life and started a touching love story.
At that time, Wei Zongwan, who was worried about life, unexpectedly met Zhou Weiming, the landlord of his rented house. Two people who are also at a low point in their lives have an indescribable resonance in a short conversation.
Gradually, they seemed to have a huge age difference, but they developed into lovers.
"This young man has admired you for a long time, but there are 6 years behind you, and you still have a daughter, can this marriage be maintained?" My friends around me expressed great concern about this.
Indeed, in that conservative era, a 48-year-old remarried woman with a 32-year-old actor would undoubtedly receive a lot of criticism. However, Wei Zongwan and Zhou Weiming chose to face all this bravely and defeated all prejudices with their sincere feelings.
In this way, two people who trust and love each other walk hand in hand into the palace of marriage. In the years that followed, they helped each other and got through many difficulties in life together.
As a single-parent family living alone with her daughter, Zhou Weiming often fell into anxiety and helplessness. But Wei Zongwan didn't mind and tried his best to play the role of a competent father.
"I know that this child is not my biological daughter, but I will take care of her with the same love, because she is my wife's flesh and blood. Wei Zongwan said firmly.
In this way, just two years later, they gave birth to another daughter and formed a warm little family.
Today, although the years have passed quietly, the couple is still in love, walking the streets and alleys hand in hand every day. That deep love has been integrated into every bit of their lives.
Perhaps for Wei Zongwan, this touching love story is the most valuable treasure in his life compared to his achievements on the road of art. Although their relationship suffered a lot of criticism from the outside world, Wei Zongwan and Zhou Weiming still chose to move forward firmly hand in hand, defeating all prejudices with their sincere feelings.
Now, the two of them are in love with each other, which is enough to make everyone sigh and sigh.
Wei Zongwan, who is in the ascendant in his acting career, also shows another side of his life.
As a dedicated and dedicated artist, he has always been strict with himself and stayed away from the temptation of commercial interests.
But at the same time, he was also a loving and considerate husband and father.
Similarly, in life, Wei Zongwan always abides by his own principles. Whether it's an advertisement or a variety show, he politely declines them because he knows that it could damage his reputation.
"I'd rather have a clean reputation than do something that goes against my bottom line for money. He said calmly.
However, this rigorous artist shows a different warm side in family life. Just as he is strict with himself in his career, Wei Zongwan is also meticulous and caring when treating his wife and daughter.
Back then, after marrying Zhou Weiming, he didn't care about the stepdaughter brought by his wife, but regarded her as his own daughter. Even just two years after the birth of their biological daughter, Wei Zongwan's love for his stepdaughter has never weakened in the slightest.
"Although this child is not my biological flesh and blood, she is my wife's heart and soul, and I will take care of her with the same love. He said firmly.
Wei Zongwan's broad-mindedness and delicate care for others not only touched his wife, but also won widespread respect from the outside world. In this impetuous era, being able to find such a pure and selfless partner is undoubtedly Zhou Weiming's greatest luck.
Today, this couple has entered their old age, but they are still in love, walking together in the streets and alleys every day. They are as close as they were back then, snuggling up to each other and sharing the bits and pieces of life.
This deep emotion has been integrated into their lives and has become the most valuable treasure.
Noble character and artistic pursuit
Looking back at Wei Zongwan's life course of more than 80 years, it is not difficult to find that this legendary artist has shown not only the artistic achievements of an outstanding actor, but also a model of personality with noble morals.
From the firm pursuit of artistic dreams when he was young, to the maintenance of his original intention after his career took off, and even the love in his later years, Wei Zongwan has consistently lived his life values.
Wei Zongwan, who was born in an aristocratic family in Shanghai in the 30s of the last century, should have been a rich son who enjoyed a good life. But from an early age, he developed a strong interest in theatrical performance, which was very different from the image of the elegant scholar that his family expected.

It wasn't until the family finally realized that they couldn't change the teenager's determination that they reluctantly accepted his choice.
After that, Wei Zongwan went through the baptism of the academy successively, and finally appeared on the stage of the Shanghai People's Art Theater when he graduated, opening his own professional acting career.
In the decades that followed, the teenager from a well-known family won widespread acclaim in the film and television industry for his outstanding acting skills and professionalism. He has played important roles in many popular TV series and movies, and has created many unforgettable classic images.
It can be said that he finally used his tenacity to break out of the world on the road of art.

He also declined some invitations to advertising endorsements and variety shows one by one, insisting on not touching any commercial activities that might affect his reputation.
This pious pursuit of art and adherence to his own values have not only won wide praise from directors, but also made Wei Zongwan recognized as a "priceless treasure" in the industry.
The famous director Zhang Yimou even publicly stated that Mr. Wei is the irreplaceable best supporting role in his heart.
But even with so many honors and praises, Wei Zongwan has never been complacent. On the contrary, he always maintains a humble attitude and always treats each of his roles with dedication and responsibility.
This noble character and artistic pursuit have made him a role model in the contemporary art world.
At the same time, Wei Zongwan also showed a warm and loving side in family life. When he fell in love with his wife Zhou Weiming, he didn't care about the stepdaughter brought by his wife, but regarded her as his own daughter.
Even after the birth of their biological daughter, his love for his stepdaughter has never weakened.
This kind of broad-mindedness and delicate care not only touched his wife, but also won wide respect from the outside world. In this impetuous era, being able to find such a pure and selfless partner is undoubtedly Zhou Weiming's greatest luck.
Today, the 84-year-old Wei Zongwan and his wife are still in love with each other. Even though life has fallen into bleakness, they still move forward hand in hand, appreciating the warm moments of life.
This deep love has been integrated into their lives and has become the most precious treasure.
