Zhong Xinghuo is an old artist, although many audiences have not heard of his name, but the film and television works he starred in can be described as a household name.
He has dedicated his life to movies, and he is conscientious in his career, but his life is a mess.
Not a qualified husband, nor a competent father, the father-daughter relationship is very stiff.
In his later years, he was kicked out of the house by his three daughters, and scolded him as "contemporary Chen Shimei".
He should have enjoyed his old age in peace, but he was displaced, and none of his three daughters were present when he died.
So what has he experienced in this life, is it really as his three daughters said?
1. Give everything to the movie
Zhong Xinghuo has played many classic roles in his life, and he can play flesh and blood no matter what kind of role.
And the movies he starred in are also memories of audiences in the 80s, when the only pleasure was watching his films.
His works always bring smiles to the audience, but he is such a well-known actor, but his life experience is very bumpy.
Zhong Xinghuo's original name was Zhao Xiasheng, and not long after he was born, he was sent by his parents to a large family as an adopted son.
Although he was an adopted son, his adoptive father regarded him as his own and loved him very much.
His adoptive father has excellent family conditions, so he has been watching and listening to dramas since he was a child, and he is fascinated by listening to them.
Watching the singers perform on stage, the audience applauded, and Zhong Xinghuo also came up with the idea of performing on stage.
That's what he thought, and that's what he did, and later when he went to school, in order to realize his dream.
Zhong Xinghuo entered the training regiment of the Shandong Liberated Area to study, and after a period of study, he achieved excellent results.
So he successfully entered the Department of Literature and Art of Shandong University, further honed his acting skills, and joined the art troupe after graduation.
After entering the art troupe, he followed the troupe to perform everywhere, Zhong Xinghuo was not afraid of hardship or tiredness, but he was afraid that he would not be able to perform.
No matter what the weather, as long as there is a performance, he will definitely perform on stage and present the best state to the audience.
In 1949, the Art Troupe came to Shanghai and entered the newly established Shanghai Film Studio, and he officially became a film actor.
At that time, movie actors did not have a "sky-high salary", unlike today's actors in the entertainment industry, the unit of remuneration is "10,000".
Due to the low salary, few people were willing to be actors at that time, the first was unstable, and the second was often away.
But Zhong Xinghuo did not hesitate to stay, he really liked acting, so he continued to hone his acting skills in the studio.
It didn't take long for him to star in his first film, "Farmhouse", when he was still a newcomer.
The acting skills are not very outstanding, so after the release of this movie, the audience did not remember Zhong Xinghuo.
But he was not discouraged, he was not very famous, so he participated in more works, and then he starred in many movies.
It wasn't until the release of the starring movie "Today I Rest" that his fame was completely opened.
And his role as the policeman Ma Tianmin has also won unanimous praise from the audience, and his acting skills have been seen by more and more people.
At that time, when the film was recruiting actors, Zhong Xinghuo came to audition with the attitude of giving it a try.
The director decided to let him play the leading role at the first sight of him, a decision that was refuted by the rest of the crew.
Calling him a newcomer and not well-known, is it okay to let him star in the leading role.
But the director feels that he is very similar to the character, and he has a simple and honest temperament.
Before the start of filming, in order to play this role well, Zhong Xinghuo also observed the police for a period of time.
Learn their every move and be moved by their spirit at the same time.
During the filming, he was very dedicated and serious, and he did not live up to the director's expectations of him, and played this role very well.
After the release of this movie, he gained a lot of fans, and people would call him by his name in the film when he walked on the street.
Zhong Xinghuo was very happy to wait for the audience's recognition, but he couldn't imagine seeing Premier Zhou.
In 1962, he co-starred with Zhang Ruifang in the movie "Li Shuangshuang", a comedy in which he played the tiger-headed Sun Xiwang.
He played this role vividly, and the two actors cooperated tacitly, and both won the Hundred Flowers Award.
The film was popular all over the country at that time, and after its release, there was an endless stream of people who came to watch it, and it became the most talked about topic at that time.
And his name is also a household name, and more importantly, he and Zhang Ruifang were also received by Premier Zhou.
Premier Zhou was approachable and amiable, and when taking pictures, he said that the two of them were the protagonists and should sit in the middle.
And their poster also appeared in the People's Daily, and Mr. Lao She also wrote an inscription for him, "A hundred flowers are prosperous, and the sparks are burning the plains".
Xiwang is the name of the character he plays, and Xinghuo is his name, which shows how popular he was at that time.
You can't have both, his career is smooth sailing, one film after another, but he regrets it in life.
2. The estranged father-daughter relationship
After the success of his career, Zhong Xinghuo's first thought was to reunite with his family and sit together for a reunion dinner.
But when he returned home, he found that his three daughters did not recognize him at all and did not want to be close to him.
Zhong Xinghuo was set as a "baby parent" when he was very young, and all that era followed was "the orders of his parents and the words of the matchmaker".
In addition, it is common to get married early, so Zhong Xinghuo married Chen Qian, who had a marriage contract, when he was a teenager.
The two have no vigorous love, only an ordinary life, and Chen Qian is the woman behind the successful man.
After getting married, the two respected each other like guests, respected and tolerated each other very much, and had a good life.
Although the two didn't know each other before, they have been together for a long time and have a certain relationship.
Chen Qian knew that he liked acting and had a dream of being an actor, so when he was going to study outside.
Chen Qian did not keep it, but encouraged him to do whatever he wanted, and she took care of him at home.
After listening to Chen Qian's words, Zhong Xinghuo went to chase his dream, with a small salary and fewer meetings.
After a few years of marriage, Chen Qian gave birth to three daughters, Zhong Xinghuo worked hard outside the home, and she took care of three children alone.
also had to do housework, at that time, Chen Qian was busy every day from morning to night, and the eldest daughter felt very sorry for her.
At the same time, I also resented my father in my heart, why he didn't come home for a long time, why he stayed at home for such a short time.
Zhong Xinghuo has been in the group for a few months, and every time he comes home, his three daughters can't recognize who he is.
He was very unfamiliar with him, and he didn't even want to call him, which made Zhong Xinghuo very sad.
Fortunately, Chen Qian reconciled in the middle, and the two sides comforted, and their relationship was not too stiff.
But after Chen Qian's death, their father-daughter relationship fell to a freezing point, even worse than before.
Zhong Xinghuo's most sorry person in his life should be Chen Qian, he was still working outside when he heard the news of Chen Qian's death.
Over the years, he has worked hard outside for his career, and Chen Qian has been his virtuous helper and runs the family alone.
Her health was not good, but one day in 1979, she was cleaning at home.
Unexpectedly, he suddenly fell ill and finally passed away, and his three daughters stayed helplessly by Chen Qian's side.
Zhong Xinghuo rushed home as soon as he heard the news, but he was still a step late, and his face was full of tears the moment he got home.
Seeing his three daughters was even more guilty, and the daughters felt that if Zhong Xinghuo was at home, this would not have happened.
So he was very resentful of him, and Zhong Xinghuo was powerless to refute this accusation.
After the death of his wife, he often sat alone in his room for a whole day.
Seeing that he was getting more and more emaciated, his friends felt that he couldn't go on like this, so they introduced him to an old wife.
This recognition is named Zhu Yunyi, a nurse, and has also had a marriage.
The two have a lot of topics in their daily lives, and Zhu Yunyi admires Zhong Xinghuo very much.
So the two came together, and the three daughters were very emotional when they found out about it, and they found Zhong Xinghuo together.
expressed his opposition to the two being together, and not long after his mother died, he met the "second spring".
So several people quarreled all day long, and even a daughter scolded him for being "Chen Shimei".
But Zhong Xinghuo still got together with Zhu Yunyi, and the three daughters couldn't accept it, and they didn't want the two to live in a house with their mother's shadow.
So they kicked the two out of the house, and the two had to move to other places, but they would continue to make trouble. In this way, they moved many times, and it can be said that he has been on the move in his later years.
Until Zhong Xinghuo's death in 2014, their father-daughter relationship was not eased.
epilogue
Zhong Xinghuo left with regrets, and eight years after his death, Zhu Yunyi saw his daughter again.
said his greatest wish, she said that Zhong Xinghuo had been thinking about you before he died.
Your mother is hard, but she is also the breadwinner of the family.
And they didn't go to see their father for the last time, presumably because of their regrets and knots.
