32 years have passed, the current situation of the actors of "Year Rings"? Some people are divorced and live in seclusion, and some people become famous abroad

In the ranks of classic period dramas, you often see a name: Liang Xiaosheng.

"The World", which will be popular on the screen in 2022, and "Educated Youth" before this, are all from Liang Xiaosheng.

Including "Father, Father and Son", which was announced not long ago, is also adapted from Liang Xiaosheng's novel of the same name, and the team production of "The World" is enabled.

After "The World", this kind of story of "little people and big times" has become the standard configuration of period dramas.

In fact, as early as 1992, Liang Xiaosheng's novel "Year Ring" was adapted into a TV series of the same name, which caused a strong response after the broadcast and resonated with the educated youth group.

Some prisons also organized prisoners to watch it collectively, during which Liang Xiaosheng also received many letters written to him by prisoners, all of whom were moved by this drama and were baptized in their hearts.

As soon as the melody of "There is No Great Northern Wilderness in the Sky" sounded, it immediately evoked people's memories.

More than 30 years have passed, Liang Xiaosheng has become the "popular harvester" of period dramas, and many viewers have never forgotten this drama.

Today, let's take stock of how the actors in the play who have moved us are doing now.

01, Zhang Shihui (as Wang Xiaosong)

Wang Xiaosong in "The Ring of the Year" is a warm man with an introverted personality but who knows how to take care of others.

But it's also because the character is too weak.,Hesitant in the face of his love.,In the end, it caused regret between Hao Mei, who was a childhood sweetheart.。

The actor Zhang Shihui, who plays Wang Xiaosong, has long been well-known to the audience in the early 80s for Xu Rongshu in the movie "The Corner Forgotten by Love".

He, Tang Guoqiang and Guo Kaimin, who are in the limelight, are known as the hottest "top streamers" in the entertainment industry in the 80s, and are now first-class actors.

In 1982, Zhang Shihui married his first girlfriend Lu Yaxin when he was the most popular, and he married at an early age.

Zhang Shihui, who had a popular career and a beauty, was about to go all out for his career, but suddenly fell silent.

Due to the restrictions of military status, Zhang Shihui could not ask for leave from the army on the grounds of filming, so he missed many opportunities to become popular.

Even though his acting career was affected, Wang Shihui still did not give up his love for acting, until the fire of "Year Ring", Wang Shihui was invited by many crews.

After 2000, Zhang Shihui starred in many film and television dramas with revolutionary historical themes, such as "The Long March", "DA Division", "National Memory", "Changsha Defense", etc., creating a series of classic military images.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Shihui's son Zhang Junyi inherited his father's mantle, and is also active in the film and television industry, playing supporting roles in major film and television dramas and performing well.

In last year's "County Party Committee Compound", the father and son also staged a "father and son soldiers".

Zhang Junyi played the role of Hao Dongfeng, director of the Bureau of Letters and Visits, and Zhang Shihui played his father.

02, Sun Yue (as Queen Mother/Sister Wang Xiaosong)

Sun Yue's cameo appearance is definitely a surprise easter egg for the audience.

"Year Rings" was filmed in 1992, and Sun Yue at that time had not yet waited for the song "I Wish You Peace" that made her popular overnight.

Although there are not many scenes, Sun Yue handles the two different roles very thoroughly, and the handling of performance details is very realistic.

It was also in this year that Sun Yue won the first award in his life while making a guest appearance in "Year Ring" - the Bronze Award in the popular group of the Youth Song Competition.

originally thought that the star career would be good from now on, but he didn't expect that even if he won the award, no one would come to him to ask for a song.

Until 1994, Sun Yue used the money sponsored by her mother to shoot the MV of "I Wish You Peace", but she didn't expect it to be a big mess, and this song was playing from TV stations to streets and alleys.

After that, Sun Yue was once comparable to Mao Amin, Na Ying, Han Hong and others who were in the ascendancy at that time, and was called the "Four Queens of the Mainland" by the media at that time.

After becoming popular, Sun Yue struck while the iron was hot, and successively launched three albums, "Good Mood", "Partner" and "Happiness Express", and quickly formed his own unique music style.

In 2005, Sun Yue and businessman Wu Feizhou faded out of the music scene after becoming husband and wife, and devoted themselves to their families.

Until 2022, Sun Yue, who has been retired for more than ten years, announced his comeback and began to participate in music variety shows, once again appearing in the public eye.

Today's Sun Yue has faded away from the glitz of her youth, and shows her elegance and intellectual temperament brought by the years.

03, Niu Chenhong (as Teacher Zhao)

Mr. Zhao was the childhood teacher of Wang Xiaosong, Liu Zhenxing and others, and he was also an idealist in that era.

He was kind-hearted and took good care of the children, and when he was poor, he took the children to dig wild vegetables and go to the station to beg, but in the end he was taken away for saying the wrong thing and never appeared again.

This innocent and kind character who suddenly "disappeared" also reflects the fate of some people in that era.

Niu Chenhong, the actor who plays Mr. Zhao, graduated from Shanghai Theater Academy, worked in Emei Film Studio in the 80s, and participated in many well-known film and television works.

The more classic is in the movie "Jiao Yulu", playing the role of Xiao Sun and building a shelterbelt with Jiao Yulu.

Today's Niu Chenhong has withdrawn from the circle, and like Teacher Zhao in the play, he has turned to the education industry and taught in many art colleges and universities at home and abroad.

04, Wang Libo (as Hao Mei)

Hao Mei has a beautiful appearance, coupled with profound knowledge, and belongs to the "goddess" level character in the play.

But such a character experienced many ups and downs in that special era because of his background.

Especially after her ex-boyfriend Wang Xiaosong went to college, Hao Mei, who stayed alone in the Great Northern Wilderness, was raped and pregnant on the way back to support Xinjiang, and was on the verge of collapse several times.

Later, her daughter died of illness, which made her suicidal thoughts, and finally gradually improved with the support of her friends.

Wang Libo is an actor in the Harbin Repertory Theatre, and after layers of selection, he got the role of Hao Mei, and paid a lot of effort for the role.

Because Hao Mei attempted suicide and became mute, Wang Libo often didn't say a word on the set to get close to the character's psychological state.

After portraying Hao Mei, Wang Libo also participated in some film and television works, but he never made a name for himself in the fiercely competitive film and television industry.

By chance, Wang Libo got acquainted with actor Zhai Naishe, who became popular due to "Singing in the Middle of the Night", and formed a family.

But in the years after marriage, the two gradually became estranged because of less gathering and more separation, and finally divorced in 2009.

Today's Wang Libo has long since retired from the showbiz and lived in seclusion in Shanghai, enjoying his later life.

05, Zhao Shuzhen (as the elderly queen mother)

Zhao Shuzhen, who plays the elderly queen mother, is a veteran actor in the film and television industry.

When filming "Year Rings" in 1992, she was already a backbone actor of the Harbin Repertory Theatre, starring in many classic drama works, such as "Sentinel under the Neon Light" and "Song of Youth".

Since then, Zhao Shuzhen, who has entered the film and television industry, has created many roles of mothers or grandmothers in film and television works, and even "broke into" the Hollywood circle.

In 2019, the film "Don't Tell Her", which tells the cultural conflict between China and the United States, was released in the United States, in which Zhao Shuzhen played a grandmother with cancer.

With this role, Zhao Shuzhen was nominated for many American film awards and won the American Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Actress in one fell swoop.

In recent years, Zhao Shuzhen's more well-known role is Mrs. Wang in "Do You Know If You Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin", although there are not many scenes, she is brilliant enough, and she was also named a "negotiation expert" by netizens.

This year, in "Love for a Long Time" starring Yang Zi and Fan Chengcheng, Zhao Shuzhen played her grandmother, and her amiable image made many viewers feel cordial and warm.

06, Wang Zhigang (as Tsui Hark)

Tsui Hark is a legendary figure, after the reform and opening up, he went south and north. I have practiced stalls, speculated in stocks, and opened a song hall.

This adventurous character is the most representative figure of that era of reform and turmoil.

Interestingly, the actor Wang Zhigang, who plays Tsui Hark, has the same experience as Tsui Hark.

After graduating from the Shanghai Theater Academy, Wang Zhigang was assigned to the Jiangxi Repertory Theatre.

Due to his young qualifications, Wang Zhigang was not valued in the group, so he chose to go to the sea to do business with enthusiasm.

"Year Ring" is his first work to return to the film and television industry, because it is similar to the experience of the role, so Wang Zhigang plays Tsui Hark very easily, and many performances come from his life experience.

After that, Wang Zhigang also received a lot of film contracts, starring in film and television works such as "Women Are No Longer Silent", "The Silent Truth", and "Sweeping the Black Storm".

Today, Wang Zhigang is still active in the film and television industry, but he rarely appears in private, and he can be called an actor who really focuses on his acting career.

07, Wang Yang (as young Liu Zhenxing)

In 1992, when "Year Ring" selected actors in Harbin, Wang Yang was lucky to be selected to play the role of young Liu Zhenxing.

At that time, he was still a student of Harbin Key Middle School, which was far from the mature image of Liu Zhenxing's big brother in the play.

This performance also made Wang Yang fall in love with performing arts, and in 1995, he was admitted to the Performance Department of Shanghai Theater Academy, and became classmates with Lu Yi, Bao Lei, and Luo Haiqiong.

In the graduation season, classmates Lu Yi, Bao Lei and others have already stepped into the film and television industry and started to make small achievements, but Wang Yang chose to continue his studies.

He applied for the graduate school of drama and was successfully admitted, and then successfully obtained a doctorate in directing from the Central Academy of Drama, and also studied in the United Kingdom, specializing in Shakespeare's plays.

After returning from school, Wang Yang returned to the place where his dream began, and worked as an acting teacher in the theater.

In addition to teaching, Wang Yang also participated in directing some stage plays, such as "Peach Blossom Fan" and "Xun Huisheng" and other works.

Compared with his classmates, Wang Yang chose a seemingly long road, but he walked steadily and enjoyed it.

By today's standards, the production of "Year Rings" is not exquisite.

Each episode is only more than 30,000 yuan, and the actors' salaries are only a few hundred yuan, and the layout of some scenes is a little simple and rough.

But "Year Rings" is important in reality, whether it is the atmosphere of the times or the description of the relationship between people, it is close to reality and resonates with the audience. (Written by Pipi Shrimp)
