On a summer day in 1940, Lu Zhong, who was born on the high slopes of the loess in Baoji, Shaanxi, was undoubtedly an inconspicuous baby. But in the eyes of her parents, this daughter is undoubtedly the child they have had high hopes for many years, and they hope that she can behave in the world "in a fair and upright" manner.
Xiao Lu Zhong has been immersed in poetry and books since she was a child, and her father's full bookshelf is full of ancient classics, and she often sneaks over to find out. As she grew older, she gradually appreciated the charm of words and began to dream that she would one day become a great actress.
When he was 9 years old, with the transfer of his parents, Lu Zhong moved to Beijing with his family. In an unfamiliar city, she quickly adapted to the colorful campus life and stood out in various literary and artistic activities.
Her excellent literary literacy and solid artistic accomplishment soon won the attention of Beijing Radio Station and became an outstanding reciter of the famous poem "Funeral Flower Yin".
This outstanding performance undoubtedly strengthened Lu Zhong's determination to enter the showbiz. For this reason, she risked rejection and bravely applied for the Central Academy of Drama.
It's a pity that he was eliminated in the first round of selection, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Lu Zhong, who has just started.
But she didn't give up, but became more determined in her goal. Under the enthusiastic recommendation of the Chinese teacher, Lu Zhong was finally admitted to the Hebei Drama Theater and officially started his own artistic path.
After entering the theater, Lu Zhong was deeply infected by the rich artistic atmosphere. In order to better integrate into the role, the crew often chooses remote villages as the target of on-site experience, and Lu Zhong has never had such an experience, but he still does not hesitate to go with everyone.
There, she not only became proficient in various farm work, but also gained a deeper understanding of the character's inner world by experiencing the lives of ordinary people. Although the process was arduous, every time he grinded, Lu Zhong's acting skills were improved to a higher level, and he finally reaped fruitful results.
Just when Lu Zhong was working hard and devoting herself to her artistic career, fate began to favor her. In 1959, Lu Zhong and her husband Wu Guiling fell in love at first sight in a dressing room, and two years later in a drama cooperation, the two finally came together.
This sincere relationship made Lu Zhong full of emotion. The arrangement of fate not only gave her success in her career, but also gave her a happy family life. Although the two still need to travel frequently between Beijing and other cities after marriage, this still does not affect their loving relationship.
In 1973, Lu Zhong and her husband Wu Guiling finally bid farewell to their long-term separation. For this loving couple, this should have been a moment of celebration, but Lu Zhong's heart was full of contradictions and struggles.
As a professional woman, Lu Zhong has always put work above family for many years, and has relatively limited care for her children. Now, in order to take care of her family, she has to slow down the pace of her career, which puts her in a dilemma that she has always pursued her acting ideals.
Just when Lu Zhong was full of ambition to regain her enthusiasm for work, her husband Wu Guiling and her in-laws gave her great support and understanding. They offered to help take care of their grandchildren, so that Lu Zhong could devote himself to the cause he loved with confidence.
With the encouragement of his family, Lu Zhong's career also began to take off. In 1987, with her unique temperament and strong acting skills in the TV series "Plainclothes Police", she successfully stepped into the film and television industry, and successively created many historical celebrities such as Empress Dowager Dong, Wu Zetian, Empress Dowager Cixi, etc.
This series of successes made Lu Zhong famous and won her more acting opportunities.
However, just when his career was in full swing, Lu Zhong faced another problem. Her son Wu Bing also had the idea of entering the showbiz, but was resolutely opposed by his mother.
As a veteran actor, Lu Zhong is well aware of the hardships of this circle, and she is worried that her son will not be able to withstand the pressure and challenges, so she is determined to stop his decision.
But this sparked a heated argument between the mother and son. In the face of his son's reprimand, Lu Zhong couldn't help but feel struggle and self-blame. As a working woman, she felt guilty that she had prioritized her work over her family and rarely cared for her children, but now she wanted to thwart their dreams.
In the end, despite the faint pain in his heart, Lu Zhong still chose to silently support his son's decision. She understands the cruelty of this glitzy world and doesn't want children to pay too much for it.
It is gratifying that despite being worried for a while, Wu Bing finally gained a foothold in the entertainment industry with his own strength, and Lu Zhong's daughter Wu Qing became a glorious aerospace officer colonel and won glory for the country.
This undoubtedly made Lu Zhong, who had always been worried about the future of his children, feel relieved and proud. As a mother, I must be full of happiness when I can see that my children have their own achievements.
Despite the arduous process, with a positive and optimistic attitude, Lu Zhong finally reaped fruitful results in his family and career.
Although Lu Zhong's life journey has not been smooth sailing, she still maintains a positive and optimistic attitude, and her perseverance is admirable.
In 2016, when her husband Wu Guiling was in poor health and was rushed to the hospital, Lu Zhong resolutely put down all the work at hand and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the task of taking care of her husband.
In the face of her husband's memory loss caused by illness, she patiently gave medication tips and did her best to take care of it.
Until her husband finally passed away, the grieving Lu Zhong felt as if he had lost his soul. But with the encouragement of the children, she finally got out of her inner haze and chose to re-devote herself to the acting career she loved, filling the emptiness in her heart with her busy shooting life, constantly challenging herself, and creating a variety of different roles.
On the set, Lu Zhong has always maintained extremely high professional requirements. She doesn't dare to relax at all for every shot and every line, and always demands herself with strict standards.
When someone needed to start over because she was not familiar with reciting her lines, she expressed her dissatisfaction with righteousness: "As a senior actor, I'm not here to hang out with you!" This not only caused tension on the scene, but also made everyone realize that as a qualified actor, the lines behind the character must be mastered.
It is this incomparable love and persistent pursuit of art that makes Lu Zhong, who is over eighty years old, still maintain a full enthusiasm for learning and working. She adheres to a regular daily routine, goes to bed at 10 o'clock every night, and gets up at 6 o'clock in the morning to exercise, this strict schedule allows her to maintain her unique charm and advantage in the highly competitive entertainment industry.
Even in his old age, Lu Zhong still insists on giving full play to his acting talents in different roles and never stops. In the face of the slightly rushed performances of the young actors, she is always obligated to remind them to put in more effort.
For herself, she has never taken any role lightly, and always strives for excellence, and this dedication undoubtedly inspires those around her.
Lu Zhong said: "I'm not here to hang out with you", this sentence may also be a warning to himself, reminding himself to never relax his insistence on art.
This unique spiritual temperament has made her a model and benchmark for the entire entertainment industry.

For Lu Zhong, her life journey has not been smooth sailing. From the setbacks in her early years, to the later family conflicts, to the death of her husband, all kinds of encounters are testing her will.
But it is these ups and downs that have become the key to her tenacity.
When the young Lu Zhong failed to apply for the Central Academy of Drama for the first time, she did not give up, but actively looked for other opportunities, and finally entered the Hebei Drama Theater. There, she accepted the strict requirements of her predecessors, and was often sent to remote villages to experience life on the ground, and despite the hardships, she never flinched, but became more and more courageous, and finally reaped fruitful results.
This never-say-die spirit laid a solid foundation for her future achievements.
In family life, Lu Zhong has also experienced many twists and turns. In order to take care of the family, she once slowed down the pace of her career, but was questioned and blamed by her son.
Faced with this question, Lu Zhong was undoubtedly tormented in her heart, after all, as a mother, she also longed to care more about and take care of the growth of her children. But even so, she still insisted on her point of view, because she understood the hardships of this circle and did not want to let the children crawl in it.
In the end, with the strong support of her husband and in-laws, Lu Zhong was able to continue to pursue her acting dreams and achieved brilliant achievements.
What is touching is that when her husband Wu Guiling was seriously ill and hospitalized, Lu Zhong resolutely put down all work and took care of him wholeheartedly until the last moment of his life.
