Chai Zhengrong (Wei Qing) was full of passion for his youthful military years
Wei Qing, behind this seemingly ordinary name, contains an extraordinary experience! Her real name is Chai Zhengrong, born in 1948 in Pingdingshan, Henan, as the child of a revolutionary predecessor, she is very proud of her identity.
It may be that it is the inheritance of his parents' bloody revolutionary genes that made the young Chai Zhengrong enter the journey of his military career at the age of 13 with full idealism, devote himself to the army with great excitement, and begin to write a new chapter of his life.
At that time, Chai Zhengrong was young and frivolous, full of vitality, always singing and dancing happily in the army, active, showing her innate artistic talent. She just celebrated her 14th birthday, and because of her talent, she was favored by the Art Troupe of the Henan Provincial Military Region, and since then she has officially stepped onto the stage of theatrical performances.
For this girl who loves dancing and likes to be lively, literary and artistic career is undoubtedly the field that can best reflect her personality charm.
Every time there is a large-scale or small-scale theatrical performance, other comrades-in-arms may feel a little troubled, but for Chai Zhengrong, this is a rare opportunity to show himself.
She is always fully committed and goes all out to prepare for the performance, whether it is singing, dancing, sketches, cross talk and other programs, she can control it freely. With her outstanding talent and diligent and studious spirit, it didn't take long for her to earn a reputation as a "talented woman" in the military district.
In this way, Chai Zhengrong spent four years of fulfilling and pleasant military time in the army. Although she was full of reluctance when she left the barracks, she still maintained a positive attitude in the face of the reality of changing jobs, took the lead in taking off her military uniform, and bravely met the challenges of new life.
Middle-aged confusion: an ordinary life that is uneventful
After retiring from the army, Chai Zhengrong first worked as an announcer in his hometown of Lushan County. However, the monotonous work day after day made the once energetic girl gradually feel bored and unbearable.
As a result, she decisively resigned from her position as an announcer and devoted herself to the work of the Cultural Affairs Bureau.
Although the work of the Cultural Affairs Bureau is equally arduous, with all kinds of complex archival documents to be processed, Chai Zhengrong finds his new position full of challenges and fun compared to his previous boring career as an announcer.
It is a pity that although Chai Zhengrong has spent countless passionate times in the Cultural Affairs Bureau, he still has not been able to find the stage that truly belongs to him and can show his personal talents.
She can only devote herself to the arduous and tedious work day after day, and the yearning for art in her heart is ruthlessly suppressed in the depths of her heart by the cruelty of life.
As a result, Chai Zhengrong gradually adapted to the new environment, and then entered the marriage hall and had his own children. In order for the children to thrive, she had to temporarily put aside her literary and artistic dreams and devote herself wholeheartedly to the role of a housewife.
Time passes quietly like flowing water, and decades have passed in the blink of an eye.
Chai Zhengrong's eldest son Mao Zi and his beloved daughter Mao Mao have both become talents, the former was successfully admitted to the Central Academy of Drama, and the latter also devoted himself to the Department of Military Art Choreography and Directing. After witnessing that his children had their own place and settled down, Chai Zhengrong retired honorably from the Cultural Affairs Bureau.
The word "retirement" may be regarded as an ideal state of life among many young people nowadays, but for Chai Zhengrong, life after retirement has brought her unprecedented emptiness and confusion.
In order to kill the long retirement time, Chai Zhengrong formed an amateur art team in the community, dancing in the square with other elderly friends every day, enjoying the fun of flexible aerobics.
Occasionally, she also participates in performances in the city, but these seem insignificant to her. Looking at those partners who are addicted to mahjong games all day long, as well as their children who are struggling outside, Chai Zhengrong, who is alone at home, begins to reflect on his life process.
The once energetic military years were like a short-lived bloom, and now she has fallen into such an ordinary old woman. With chaotic thoughts, Chai Zhengrong gradually fell into a situation of self-denial and self-abandonment, and even suffered from severe depression, and once had the idea of ending his life.
A turning point in fate: his son's fame inspires the courage to pursue his dreams again
Hearing the news of his mother's worsening condition, the hairy child immediately put down his work and embarked on the journey home without hesitation, rushing back to his hometown from thousands of miles away. At that time, he had just emerged with the TV series "The Story of the Cooking Class", and his career began to show a vigorous development momentum.
However, in the face of the mother's health, the future of the son, although important, cannot be compared. The hairy child did not hesitate to choose to return to his mother and spent 10 years with her.
Under the careful and thoughtful care of his filial son and the all-weather companionship, Chai Zhengrong's physical condition gradually improved, thus rekindling his desire to survive. However, during this period, Mao Xiao missed the golden stage of his career, and even suspended his acting career for a while.
Faced with this reality, Chai Zhengrong later admitted that he felt deeply guilty and sighed: "If it weren't for my dear son, I am afraid I would not be able to see today's sunshine again, because I dragged down the hairy child."
Time flies, fleeting, in 2003, the hairy boy returned to the screen again, in order to ensure that his son's daily life is properly arranged, Chai Zhengrong did not hesitate to buy a train ticket to the crew to accompany him forward.
This decision completely overturned the original ordinary trajectory of her life.
After arriving at the crew, the hairy boy enthusiastically took his mother to visit the crew, but he didn't expect that it was this chance that made Chai Zhengrong fall in love with the director at a glance, and it happened that the crew was lacking a role to play the role of the hairy child's mother.
As a result, Chai Zhengrong, who has entered the age of sixties, finally realized her long-standing dream of being an actor.
This valuable performance experience undoubtedly had a profound impact on Chai Zhengrong. Since then, she can no longer suppress her deep love and pursuit of acting, looking for performance opportunities everywhere, and finally successfully starred in the TV series "Ren Changxia" in 2006, playing a challenging key role.
Although this is her first time playing the leading role, Chai Zhengrong has shown excellent acting skills, which has made the director full of praise, thinking that she should be on a bigger stage and show her talent to the fullest.
This praise undoubtedly gave Chai Zhengrong endless encouragement and confidence.
North drift for art: 60 years old alone in the capital to chase dreams
Chai Zhengrong's decision made even her biological son Mao Zi feel puzzled. Since the mother did not disclose the truth to the family, but only lightly stated that she was going to Beijing for sightseeing, the family did not pay much attention to it, and only regarded it as an ordinary trip.
In this way, an old man who is over the age of ten embarks on a strange trip to Beijing alone. In order not to worry her family, she would wait until her son went out to work every day before she began to run around, looking for performance opportunities in various TV drama crews.
At first, she could only start as an extra, silently standing in the crowd, playing the role of passerby A and B, but as time went by, with a sincere attitude and tireless learning spirit, she gradually won the opportunity to perform in some small roles and a few lines.
Chai Zhengrong, although her role is almost insignificant and the pay is almost insignificant, she never expresses any dissatisfaction or complaints about it. For the actress, as long as she can stand on the stage of her dreams, it is already a great luck and satisfaction.
Whenever he receives a new role, Chai Zhengrong will always take the trouble to read the script repeatedly, deeply study the character traits, and go all out to present the character flawlessly in front of the audience.
It is in this way that Chai Zhengrong has gradually accumulated rich and valuable acting experience in various crews, and her acting skills have also been significantly improved in the process.
With his superb acting skills and dedicated work attitude, Chai Zhengrong quickly emerged in the crew and won wide praise. In 2008, the crew that was filming the TV series "Wang Gui and Anna" urgently needed an actor who could play the role of Lin Yongjian's mother, but they never found a suitable candidate.
At this time, Lin Yongjian recommended Chai Zhengrong to the crew, so she was able to successfully play the crucial role of "Wang Guima". Decades of life experience make Chai Zhengrong not need to be too carved, just standing there quietly is enough for people to deeply feel the profound connotation of this role.
However, Chai Zhengrong did not stop there, in order to play this role of great significance to the fullest, she devoted all her time to the in-depth study of the lines except for basic diet and sleep every day.
For those words and sentences that are jerky and difficult to understand, she will even deliberately record them, copying them again and again until they have memorized them completely. Such a serious and dedicated work attitude is really admirable.
With his wonderful performance in "Wang Gui and Anna", Chai Zhengrong became famous in the film and television industry overnight and became an excellent actor that many well-known directors competed for. Since then, she has starred in a number of high-profile film and television works, such as "Forward for New China" and "Double Guns", etc., which can be said to be in full swing in her career.
