Time is like a merciless flowing water, passing by, and the years are like eagles with wings shuttling, coming and going. In such a passing year, we have witnessed the gorgeous turn of the life of the outstanding artist Ms. Zhang Jinling.
Today, although she is no longer in her prime, she is still active on the stage of art and calligraphy, radiating incomparable vitality.
Her artistic achievements are as brilliant as gems, shining in the long river of art, illuminating the way forward. She has long since transformed from a radiant screen star in the film industry to a respected painter and calligrapher.
Her artistic attainments have been widely recognized, and she has now been appointed as a director of the Artists Association of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television of China, which is undoubtedly an authoritative affirmation of her status and achievements in the field of painting and calligraphy.
Her works are unique and full of spirituality, and she has been selected as the representative of the China Film Foundation many times, and has been exhibited in North Korea, Iran and other countries, becoming an excellent disseminator of traditional Chinese culture.
Looking back on Ms. Zhang Jinling's glorious life journey, the transformation from the film industry to the palace of painting is really amazing. When she was young, she had both beauty and talent, and won the love of many fans.
As one of the three top actresses of Beijing Film Studio, she has created a series of deeply rooted roles in classic films such as "Crossing the River Reconnaissance" and "From Slave to General", which are still fresh in the memory of the audience.
After bidding farewell to the entertainment industry, Ms. Zhang Jinling did not stop. She apprenticed to her teacher and began a new journey of painting and calligraphy. Under the careful guidance of the famous Mr. Lou Shibai, coupled with her outstanding talent and unremitting efforts, Ms. Zhang Jinling quickly emerged in new fields, and her works have won high praise from many masters.
Today, her paintings are known as "full of the charm of Qi Baishi", and it can be said that they have reached the pinnacle of perfection and achieved remarkable achievements.
If you want to talk about the great changes in Ms. Zhang Jinling's life after the divorce, you must go back to her youthful and prosperous acting career.
At that time, she could be called a rising star on the screen, shining and dazzling.
In the seventies and eighties of the last century, whenever Ms. Zhang Jinling appeared on the screen, it would always cause warm applause and cheers from the audience.
The classic characters she portrayed, such as the heroic and resolute Liu Sijie in "Crossing the River Reconnaissance", the indomitable Soma in "From Slave to General", etc., are deeply imprinted in the hearts of the audience and are unforgettable.
Time flies, Zhang Jinling, who was once peerless, is radiant, and her prospects, like the shining stars of tomorrow, are extremely brilliant. And her cross-border love affair with the powerful actor Xu Min caused a sensation in public opinion, and she was known as the "golden boy and girl" in the film and television industry, which aroused the envy of everyone and sent their most sincere blessings.
They stepped into the palace of marriage without fear, full of endless longing and expectations for the future. However, the trick of fate caught people off guard, and the fate of this high-profile celebrity couple only lasted for a short nine years.
In 1982, a sudden change came - just as Zhang Jinling was going all out to prepare to star in the movie "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace", she was surprised to find out that she was pregnant.
This is undoubtedly a serious challenge for Zhang Jinling, whose career is in full swing. Although it would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to participate in this film, she finally resolutely gave up the role for the sake of the fetus in her womb.
This decision caused widespread controversy and regret at the time, but Zhang Jinling never complained about it.
So, from the day her son Xu Yibei was born, Zhang Jinling devoted herself to family life and said goodbye to her brilliant acting career.
Although she hesitated many times, in the end she still went on firmly, Xu Yibei has received meticulous care and companionship from her mother since she was a child, and Zhang Jinling also showed her desire for family and maternal love in her children.
Although her marriage to Xu Min finally came to an end, Zhang Jinling did not stand still because of this, and her life story is still constantly turning new pages.
One day many years after the divorce, Zhang Jinling met the outstanding businessman Zhang Zheng, and the two fell in love at first sight, and the spark of love ignited instantly.
When they first met, Zhang Zheng was deeply attracted by Zhang Jinling's unique elegant temperament. Although the other party was already a mother, Zhang Zheng didn't care, and happily accepted Zhang Jinling's son Xu Yibei as his own.
Under Zhang Zheng's fiery and sincere pursuit, Zhang Jinling, who was reserved in her heart, was finally moved by this affection and married this kind and charming businessman.
In 1989, Zhang Jinling and Zhang Zheng entered the palace of marriage hand in hand and started a new journey in life. Since then, Zhang Zheng has treated Xu Yibei as much as his biological father, and under their common care, Xu Yibei gradually developed a deep affection for his stepfather Zhang Zheng.
The wheel of time is constantly turning, and Xu Yibei has moved from childhood to adulthood, and has entered the palace of knowledge with longing. On the other hand, Zhang Zheng, due to the needs of his career, he devoted himself to his work and ran day and night for the livelihood of his family, leaving only the lonely Zhang Jinling sad in the empty room.
Zhang Zheng had insight into his wife's inner anguish, and in order to let Zhang Jinling find solace in his soul, he tried his best to recommend the famous painter Lou Shibai, hoping that his wife could rediscover the meaning and value of life in the ocean of art.
So, with the encouragement of her husband, Zhang Jinling firmly devoted herself to Lou Shibai's disciple and devoted herself to the world of painting and calligraphy. Faced with an unknown future, she hesitated, but her husband's determined gaze illuminated her path like a beacon and made her determined to study hard.
Since then, Zhang Jinling has devoted all her energy to the field of painting. She longs to express her innermost emotions through the brushes and ink treasures in her hands, and has found unprecedented spiritual sustenance in the world of art.
If the second half of Zhang Jinling's life is full of colorful stories, then the love and marriage process between her and Xu Min is more like a life drama with ups and downs.
Dating back to 1979, they were both hot stars at that time, and they both entered the Beijing Film Studio after marriage, and their careers were booming. However, due to their busy schedules, they decided to put their plans on hold for the time being.
However, fate played a joke. Just when preparing to film "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace" in 1982, Zhang Jinling unexpectedly learned that she was pregnant. For her, who is at the peak of her career, this is undoubtedly a serious challenge.
Although participating in the film was a rare opportunity, for the sake of the fetus in her womb, she resolutely confessed her predicament to the director.
This decision put the director in a dilemma. Although Zhang Jinling's talent is impeccable, if she chooses to give birth during filming, it will inevitably affect the progress of the entire crew.
After careful consideration, Zhang Jinling finally made a difficult choice - to give up this opportunity and concentrate on waiting for childbirth.
For Zhang Jinling at that time, this decision was undoubtedly jaw-dropping! Many people could not understand why she had to give up such a precious opportunity for career development so easily? However, faced with the choice between career and family, Zhang Jinling firmly chose the latter.
In the years that followed, Xu Yibei was deeply cared for and accompanied by his mother unreservedly since he was a child. Time flies, and when Xu Yibei is stepping into adulthood, Zhang Jinling began to think about how to replan her life path.
However, at this moment, Zhang Jinling's husband Xu Min's career is in full swing, and he is busy all day long in order to support the livelihood of the whole family.
Therefore, the life trajectory of the husband and wife has gradually widened apart.
Although Zhang Jinling and Xu Min finally chose to go their separate ways, this did not diminish their deep love for their son. On the contrary, in the following days, their ex-wife and ex-husband became closer and closer, and they still lived together in harmony like close friends, raising Xu Yibei together, and providing endless love for their children with all they had.
