The sun was shining warmly in the room, and Cheng Qian carefully held his sleeping son in swaddling clothes, with a happy smile on his face. Years of ups and downs and struggles finally turned into sweet fruits at this moment.
He stared down at the child's peaceful sleeping face, his eyes full of pampering. At the age of 51, he ushered in this family happiness, and he cherished it before Cheng. The birth of the child not only gave him the joy of being a father, but also gave him the last blessing in his life.
Looking back on the past, an indescribable emotion rose in Cheng Qian's heart. Those struggles, confusion, and unforgettable pains seem to have turned into life experiences at this moment.
It is precisely because he has fallen into the astray several times that he cherishes his current happiness even more; It is precisely because he gave up everything to pursue his dreams that he has more expectations for his son.
The germination of everything can be traced back to that distant childhood. 14-year-old Cheng Qian is in the rebellious period of youth and frivolity, and spends every day carefree in his hometown of Jiujiang.
Until one day, an unintentional word from his friends hit his simple heart. "Look at that martial arts leper, he is Cheng Qian's biological father!" The friends were talking about it, and it seemed that they knew everything about it.
Cheng Qian's mind "buzzed", and the laughter of friends seemed to be far away. Father, biological, a fog swirled in his heart, and the "third father" who he had long been accustomed to suddenly made him feel extremely strange.
The words of his friends hit him like sharp arrows in his heart, and Cheng Qian finally realized something. Tears welled up uncontrollably, and he turned and ran, ignoring the confused shouts of his friends behind him.
He ran into his cottage, locked himself in a small room, and curled up in a corner in agony, crying helplessly.
His mother was anxiously shouting outside the door, but Cheng Qian never did, just cried vigorously, tears blurred his vision, and confusion enveloped the young heart.
At this moment, Cheng Qian's adoptive father returned, and after realizing the seriousness of the matter, he didn't say a word of harshness, just walked to the door and said softly: "Son, no matter what happens, we will support you and understand you."
The words are full of firmness and strength, as if a warm current gently envelops Cheng Qian's long-drought heart. He wiped away his tears, hugged his adoptive father, and said from the bottom of his heart: "You are the dearest person in my life."
From that moment on, Cheng Qian began to face up to and accept the complex relationship of this family, and he learned to look at the world with a broader vision.
The poor family background doomed Cheng Qian's life as a teenager would not be too easy. In order to support his family, he had to give up his studies and devote himself to heavy manual labor. However, the fire of dreams deep in my heart is always burning.
At the age of 18, Cheng Qian worked as a porter in a shipyard, and he needed to carry thousands of pounds of goods every day, and he was physically and mentally exhausted. However, in just one month, he saved 62 yuan from it.
Although this is insignificant to people now, for Cheng Qian at that time, this money was equivalent to a mountain of gold, which allowed him to take the first step out of poverty and ignited his confidence in devoting himself to acting.
In 1982, Cheng Qian, who was in his early twenties, tried to take the entrance examination of Shanghai Theater Academy and Zhejiang Xiaoshan Radio Station for the first time, but unfortunately failed twice in a row, and his dream was wandering in front of him with no exit.
Just when he had the idea of giving up, a friend recommended Jiujiang Repertory Theatre to him by chance, pointing out a new direction for him - to be a TV host.
Since then, a new chapter has opened in Cheng Qian's life. Although it was only a small Jiujiangtai at the beginning, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart. Three years later, in 1985, he fought hard and participated in the selection of the actor troupe of Zhujiang Film Studio.
In order to wait for the fate-changing notice to join the group, Cheng Qian was extremely anxious, looking through the email inside and out every day, for fear that a negligence would miss the opportunity.
When the long-awaited entry documents for the interrogation finally arrived, Cheng Qian's eyes lit up. The price was eight months of hard waiting, but he had no regrets.
He struck while the iron was hot, dreamed of it, and took advantage of the wind, and soon left his hometown and went to Guangzhou to start a new road as a host.
With 1. With a superior height of 8 meters and a stable typhoon, Cheng Qian quickly gained a firm foothold in Guangdong TV and broke into CCTV's field of vision. In 1988, he won the crown in the CCTV host competition and won the honor of "National Top Ten TV Hosts", and became famous in an instant.
In the next few years, Cheng Qian was at home on CCTV, and his every move attracted much attention. He not only hosted many heavyweight programs, but also hosted many Spring Festival Galas side by side with Ni Ping, and once became the leader of CCTV.
However, at the same time of this glory, he also suffered a lot of criticism and doubts. Some people accuse him of "poor moral character and low performing arts", but in fact, this all stems from Cheng Qian's "small fault" in his rigorous work.
Whenever he hosts on the spot, he hopes that the impromptu rehearsal of his lines will be perfect, but he is often sloppy by the staff around him, which makes him resentful.
In the face of this situation, Cheng Qian will speak out and persuade him, but he will inevitably be ignored and given a cold reception. It is this style of overly serious pursuit of perfection that has won him a bad evaluation of "poor morality" on the stage.
But in any case, this is a stage in his career, and it has become a thing of the past.
In 1996, a major turning point occurred in Cheng's life. This year, his closest person, his adoptive father, died, and the family suffered a major change. The biological mother, who was over half a hundred years old, was suddenly lonely, so Cheng Qian had to take her to her side to take care of her.
But as a young man, Cheng Qian couldn't afford to buy a place for his mother at that time. In Beijing, a big city with high housing prices, buying a suitable house is a dream.
But Cheng Qian did not choose to escape, he had filial piety to his mother, and he insisted on raising and borrowing money from relatives and friends, and finally scraped together a down payment of 300,000 yuan.
The mother watched her son work hard and bear the heavy pressure of the loan, and tears rolled in her eyes. "I'm just your adoptive mother!" She choked up, guilt-riddled in her heart.
Cheng Qian hugged his mother's thin body and said firmly: "Your nurturing grace to me is higher than that of my biological mother, and you are the closest person in my life."
In this way, Cheng Qian, who was only in his early 30s, was burdened with a heavy burden of life. Repaying high loans every month is really an unsustainable burden for him, a CCTV host.
He began to feel that his narrow career was limiting his future development and that he had to find another way.
So, after repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, Cheng Qian mustered up the courage to resign from the CCTV Personnel Department, announcing the end of the halo of the CCTV host. This decision made countless people around him look sideways, but he had no second thoughts, just followed the truest voice in his heart, even if the road ahead was unknown, he had to move forward.
Having left his homeland, he was temporarily out of the blueprint of a free body, and his prospects did not seem to be very optimistic. Fortunately, in September of the same year, the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce's trip to South Africa recruited him into the team.
Although it is only a temporary job, it can at least be used as a temporary sustenance.
Today, 24 years later, Cheng Qian has no doubts or regrets about his original choice. "At least I used to shine and light up that stage for a while.
He used to say that. In fact, it is not only a stage, but also a palace-level cultural platform for the entire CCTV. Perhaps, it was precisely because of his youth there that he burst out with such courage and had the courage to pursue a broader world.
In 2000, Cheng Qian officially bid farewell to the identity of CCTV host and turned to the film and television industry, opening a new chapter in his life. Although his first works such as "Story 2000" and "With You" directed by Chen Kaige were not very well-received, he gained valuable training opportunities from them and made some fame for himself in the circle.
In the following years, Cheng Qian was keen on wireless networks to appear in various film and television works, trying to absorb nutrients and shine on the new stage. 2004's "Shanghai Storm" and 2005's "Wuji" were his masterpieces at that time.
Although the latter has been widely controversial from all walks of life, the role of Wang created before the middle of the film has won the appreciation of many directors.
However, despite his gradual achievements in the field of film and television, Cheng Qian still has doubts about his acting ability, and directing a film and television work of his own has become his new long-cherished wish.
However, due to the limitations of experience and connections, this dream also fell into a stalemate for a while.
Fortunately, in November 2021, Cheng Qian's first directorial debut "The Casker" premiered on CCTV, which described the arduous struggle of patriotic industrialists at the beginning of the last century and won warm praise from the industry.
At this point, Cheng Qian finally achieved success on the new stage of directing, adding another heavy stroke to his acting career.
The ups and downs of career alone are enough to make people have mixed tastes, not to mention the intricate emotional experience before Cheng. In 1992, he married the lively and lovely Wang Yue and started the first marriage in his life.
What is embarrassing is that out of career considerations, Cheng Qian chose to handle the relationship in a low-key manner from the beginning, and finally caused the two to break up painfully after three years.
After that, Cheng Qian and the popular host Dong Qing were in love for six years and once became a model couple in the circle. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and with the serious imbalance in the development of the careers of the two parties, their relationship inevitably cracked in 2007.
At that time, Dong Qing became an outcast in his career, and Cheng Qian became an outcast in love, and this sad history must be unforgettable.
It wasn't until 2013 that 51-year-old Cheng Qian regained the nourishment of love at an advanced age. This time, he met a woman who was 20 years younger than him, and after a short time together, the two decided to get married.
The following year, they were happy with their noble son, and Cheng Qian finally experienced the happiness of being a father.
To some extent, the arrival of his son drew a successful end to the trials of his life. After years of ups and downs, Cheng Qian finally regained the warmth of his family, and this happiness is hard-won, and he will cherish it more.
Putting aside the criticism and comments of the world, Cheng Qian's most valuable asset is his pious enthusiasm for his career and his deep attachment to his relatives. Years of ups and downs in life have not worn out his persistence, but have made his heart more resolute and cherish his current happiness more and more.
"The rumors about me being expelled from CCTV are pure nonsense, I just have a different career plan from CCTV, and I don't have such bad conduct. Whenever asked why he left, Cheng Qian would explain calmly.
In fact, he has never treated his work partners roughly, but he just hopes that everyone can get the lines right when he hosts the scene, which is just a little "little problem" that he strives for perfection.
It's a pity that the cooperation at that time was seriously out of place, and Cheng Qian bluntly persuaded him, but he was inevitably treated coldly, which caused him to be criticized as "inferior in morality" on the stage.
However, these have all been written off, and only valuable life experience remains in Cheng Qian's heart.
"It doesn't matter what the outcome will be, it's the process itself. Someone asked if he regretted his original choice, Cheng Qian said. No matter where he is, he is interpreting this sentence with his actions: devote himself to every work without distraction, and strive for excellence.
Hard work pays off, and that's all he expects from himself and the world.
For Cheng Qian, the last regret in his life may be that the stage and the screen are destined to part ways with him. But no matter how long and difficult the road ahead is, as long as you have a dream in your heart, you will not stop.
And when he looks back, he will be grateful for the opportunities and encounters along the way, which shaped him into a positive, optimistic and tireless individual.
Those past ups and downs and struggles have turned into smoke, and the only thing to cherish is the happiness of the present. Cheng Qian held his infant son in front of him, and his childhood dream seemed to be right in front of him: as long as he had a dream, he would definitely be able to achieve perfection.
And now, he wants to entrust this dream to the next generation.
