Today's Tang Zhenzong has become a well-known mainland superstar and is well-known in the film and television industry. Years of perseverance and hard work finally made him achieve the highest achievement in his acting career, and he was loved and sought after by the audience.
What's even more commendable is that while he has a successful career, he also has a happy family life. It is one of life's great blessings to be able to achieve great things on the road to pursue your artistic dreams, and at the same time to have a virtuous partner and lovely children to accompany you.
Looking back on the difficult years in the past, Tang Zhenzong is sincerely grateful to his wife Zhang Lixia for her tolerance and support over the years. It was she who held up her husband's dream with great courage and love, and supported the family with her actions.
The two have walked hand in hand through unimaginable poverty, through countless hardships and setbacks. Now, Tang Zhenzong is full of gratitude, and is determined to pamper the three women in his family and do his best to repay their hard work and selfless sacrifice.
Climb the peak
To understand Tang Zhenzong's achievements today, we must start from the poor family he was born in. He was born in a very poor family in Hong Kong, his father was just an ordinary office worker, his mother was a housewife, and the family of more than 10 people was crammed into a small rental house, and their lives were extremely poor.
Even so, Tang Zhenzong's parents still attach great importance to their children's education, hoping that they can change their fate through knowledge.
However, fate was ruthless, just when Tang Zhenzong was about to have the opportunity to study abroad, his family's financial situation was beyond control, and his parents could only give up this long-cherished wish with tears.
Tang Zhenzong and his younger brother Tang Zhenye had to drop out of school early to work to earn a living. Despite his hard life, Tang never gave up on his dreams, and he longed to one day stand on the stage and shine.
In 1981, with the encouragement and support of his younger brother Tang Zhenye, Tang Zhenzong gave up a shipping job and resolutely entered the TVB training class to learn performing arts.
Unexpectedly, he was severely punished by the authorities for going out to film without permission halfway, and he was banned from participating in any performances in the next 5 years. This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Tang Zhenzong at that time.
During the ban, Tang Zhenzong could only work as a temporary worker in some small film companies, living a glimpse of life. It wasn't until the end of 1983 that he reluctantly entered the Shaw Brothers Film Company by relying on his younger brother's connections, but he could still only play some insignificant small roles.
Once upon a time, Tang Zhenzong was almost about to give up his dream and return to his old business.
The wife is unswerving
Just when Tang Zhenzong's career was at a low point, an ordinary woman named Zhang Lixia married him. Despite being poor and living in poverty, Zhang Lixia never complained about Tang Zhenzong's poor life, she just wholeheartedly supported her husband to pursue his dreams.
Zhang Lixia, a first-time wife, has been working all year round on the farm and taking care of the children's food and daily life, and her life is insecure. The family is crammed into a small rental house of only 12 square meters, and even an ordinary cake has to be carefully divided.
But in the face of such a difficult and difficult day, she never shouted bitterly or tired, but silently played the role of a good wife and mother, and interpreted her deep love for her husband with her actions.
Because of Zhang Lixia's mediocre appearance, the media often criticized her, bluntly saying that she was not worthy of Tang Zhenzong, a heroic and well-fated figure, which made her have low self-esteem in her marriage.
Once, Zhang Lixia, who was conflicted in her heart, even had the idea of breaking up and divorcing. But Tang Zhenzong gave her enough security and confidence, and firmly said that he would never leave and would always grow old with her.
Husband and wife are of the same mind and never give up
Although Zhang Lixia is honest and kind, her appearance is really mediocre, and it is difficult to be satisfied.
In the face of all kinds of criticism and doubts from the outside world, Tang Zhenzong never wavered in his love for his wife, but held Zhang Lixia in the palm of his hand and loved him very much. He is convinced that the cornerstone of a happy marriage is not only appearance, but more importantly, heart-to-heart communication, mutual cherishing and understanding between two people.
Whenever he was filming in other places, Tang Zhenzong would seize every opportunity to talk to his wife in Hong Kong in a timely manner, humbly listen to her opinions and suggestions, and share the bits and pieces of life in detail.
Even though the set was surrounded by a group of beautiful actresses, he never had any outrageous self-sacrifice to other members of the opposite sex, and always maintained his loyalty to his wife.
It is this kind of perseverance and maintenance of marriage that allows Zhang Lixia to gradually dispel her self-denial and regain her confidence in this marriage. More than 20 years have passed, whether it is family life or career development, Tang Zhenzong has only followed his wife, and regards her as the most important and cherished woman in his life.
Under her husband's deep care, Zhang Lixia no longer has low self-esteem, but repays her husband with actions in her own way. She takes care of the entire housework day after day, and takes care of her husband's daily life, so that Tang Zhenzong can devote himself to his career and pursue his dreams with peace of mind.
"Fengshen List" opens up a new situation
After 20 years of ups and downs, Tang Zhenzong's depressed days on the trail finally came to an end. In 1988, he brilliantly portrayed the role of the actor Bo Yi Kao in the costume TV series "Fengshen Bang", and his superb acting skills and calm and sophisticated performance won a high praise from mainland audiences, opening up a new situation in his career.
After playing the role of the actor Tian Guinong in the hit martial arts drama "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" one after another, Tang Zhenzong has won huge attention. Then, after the Spring Festival in 1990, he was invited to star in the well-known urban emotional drama "Alien Girl", which brilliantly interpreted the role of the male protagonist Jiang Sheng, with touching plot and superb acting skills, making him an instant hit in the mainland and famous.
Since then, Tang Zhenzong has completely shifted his career focus to the mainland, and has starred in a series of excellent TV series such as "Waiting All the Way", "The Woman Who Lived in the Villa", "Last Night's Long Wind", and participated in many uniquely designed print advertising shoots.
Relying on his handsome appearance and excellent acting skills, Tang Zhenzong quickly became one of the most popular and sought after Hong Kong and Taiwan stars among mainland audiences at that time.
Once upon a time, Tang Zhenzong was just an unknown young man who worked diligently every day, but now he has become a big star loved by everyone.
All these achievements are inseparable from the understanding, support and selfless dedication of his wife Zhang Lixia over the years, and it is her perseverance and love that has made today's Tang Zhenzong.
