In my lifetime, I am happy to meet you, please click "Follow", thank you for your support.
The wheel of time never stops, and in an instant, the high-profile Spring Festival Gala "nail household" has quietly gone through 50 years of ups and downs. Now, at the age of 56, he has bid farewell to the once glorious Spring Festival Gala stage, and has devoted himself to the short video platform in a completely different way.
The star who was highly anticipated and concerned in the past has now chosen to fade out of the public eye and find his own happiness and satisfaction in his own small world.
Guo Donglin currently lives alone in a spacious and bright bachelor apartment in Chaoyang District, Beijing. This intimate abode is filled with a variety of collections that he has painstakingly collected over the years, each one a testament to his dazzling acting career.
However, now the middle-aged man who has attracted countless eyes for his outstanding performance in the Spring Festival Gala has only a few stills left on the table, as if telling that the memory is gradually fading.
On the balcony, a small succulent plant stands quietly, as if it has become the only companion in the lonely life of Guo Donglin, a bachelor. In the large room, only the occasional sound of the television sounded as the only element that broke the silence.
Guo Donglin sat alone on the sofa, holding the remote control in his hand, enjoying the program on the screen relaxedly, with a faint smile on his face.
Despite the ease and comfort of his life, he sometimes felt a little lonely. However, this does not mean that he is willing to be forgotten, let alone disappear without a trace in the entertainment industry.
Since leaving the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, Guo Donglin has devoted himself to the operation of his short video account, and he looks forward to using this new platform to regain his past glory on the stage.
Looking back on Guo Donglin's past, his life trajectory is like a colorful watercolor painting, which is more colorful and fascinating against the backdrop of the sun.
When he was young, Guo Donglin was like a piece of white and flawless paper, born in a poor family. The father was unemployed for a long time, and the mother had to rely on street work to support the family.
The young Guo Donglin witnessed his mother's hardships under the cold eyes of strangers. Dressed in modest costumes, her mother danced in a small square on the side of the road, singing Peking opera tunes in exchange for a meager income to support the family.
The onlookers either laughed or were silent, but my mother's excellent art seemed to be just suitable for showing an irreproducible style here. Guo Donglin was like a panicked deer, trembling and hiding behind his mother's back, keenly watching his mother's every expression and movement with those pure eyes.
Poverty is undoubtedly a heavy shackle, but it is this difficult environment that inspires Guo Donglin's endless desire for art. He quietly absorbed his mother's acting skills, and deeply imprinted his mother's unwavering artist style in his heart, laying a solid foundation for his future acting career.
With the passage of time, Guo Donglin's outstanding artistic talent gradually blossomed into a brilliant light. Despite his father's resolute opposition, he did not flinch and resolutely decided to devote himself to further studies at the Shanghai Theater Academy.
During his college career, Guo Donglin devoted himself to drama studies, and never allowed his youth to drift away like his peers. He always stands at the front of the classroom with a solemn face, engrossed in observing every demonstration of the teacher, and imitating and practicing it with his heart.
In his spare time, he often practiced alone in the open rehearsal room, in front of the mirror.
After graduation, Guo Donglin finally joined the Chinese People's Art Theater as he wished, and began his rigorous and serious career as a drama actor. While it was not easy to make a name for himself on this elite stage, he was never overwhelmed by the pressure.
He has always adhered to his original intention, studied his acting skills diligently, and carefully polished his skills. Soon after, his solid foundation made him stand out among many newcomers, and he had an outstanding performance in the popular TV series "The Story of the Editorial Department" at that time, and won warm praise from the audience.
At this time, a team of directors of the Spring Festival Gala came to Guo Donglin with the script "Sketch from Time to Time", which heralded the official opening of a glorious chapter in his life. His outstanding performance made him shine on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and the audience was attracted by the smiling, plump and lovely young man.
Since then, Guo Donglin resolutely left Renyi and devoted himself to carefully creating his own works, just to wait for the time to be ripe, and once again bring new works to shine on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the public has become accustomed to seeing Guo Donglin's active figure on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala during the Spring Festival every year, and he has become an "evergreen" on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
However, behind the glamorous and glamorous, there is a bitter journey that no one knows.
Who would have expected that in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 2017, Guo Donglin's unintentional words would put him in an unprecedented predicament. That year, Guo Donglin once again appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala with his masterpiece "Withdraw Money", which aimed to expose the frequent fraud and crime in society at that time, in order to arouse the vigilance of the majority of elderly people.
The sketch begins with a depiction of two elderly people being scammed during a bank withdrawal, with the scammer speaking a thick Mandarin accent in Henan on the other end of the phone.
As soon as Guo Donglin's character heard this accent, he immediately realized that the other party was a liar and hung up the phone decisively.
However, it was this sentence full of regional discrimination that caused an uproar among the audience in Henan. Hundreds of thousands of angry viewers in Henan called the TV station's complaint hotline to accuse Mr. Guo of his inappropriate remarks.
There was even a Henan lawyer who took him to court, demanding that he compensate all the people of Henan with one yuan, and due to the large population of Henan, the total amount of compensation was as high as an astonishing more than 100 million yuan!
For a time, Guo Donglin was attacked by online violence, and the whole person fell into an unprecedented predicament. Although the screenwriter came forward to clarify that all the lines were from his own hands and had nothing to do with Guo Donglin, the anger of the Henan audience was still difficult to quell.
Guo Donglin had to temporarily leave the public eye and hide at home, for fear of encountering angry Henan compatriots.
This undoubtedly brought a heavy blow to Guo Donglin's acting career. Many brands have terminated their partnerships with him, causing his exposure in various TV shows and variety shows to plummet, as if he disappeared from the public eye.
At that time, Guo Donglin was at a double trough in his life and career, worrying every day and extremely depressed.
Time flies, and the glory of the past seems to be only a brief moment. Guo Donglin's mother looked at her aging son, and her worries grew day by day. In her opinion, Guo Donglin, who is over forty years old, has already entered the palace of marriage and has a happy family, but this is not the case.
When she saw Guo Donglin and Niu Li's tacit performance in the Spring Festival Gala, her mother couldn't help but mistakenly think that they were really a loving couple, and she was full of deep worries about the current situation of her son who was still alone.
His mother persuaded Guo Donglin in a gentle and delicate tone, expecting him to find the true love of his life as soon as possible and walk hand in hand into the sacred hall of marriage.
In the face of his mother's affectionate hope, Guo Donglin could only smile helplessly and promised to find a suitable partner as soon as possible, but due to his busy work, this promise has never been fulfilled as scheduled.
With the gradual reduction of the Spring Festival Gala activities, he has more free time and begins to travel around to enjoy the beauty of life, but his love life is still in a state of stagnation.
However, in the eyes of the mother, as long as the son can be happy, whether he has a partner or not is not so important. Acting career is Guo Donglin's biggest pursuit and motivation at present. As long as he sticks to his dream and never gives up, he will eventually usher in a better future.
Looking back on Guo Donglin's life, it is not difficult to find that he has experienced countless ups and downs and setbacks, but he has never been crushed by the relentless blows of fate. From a poor boy who was destitute to a star who was loved by thousands of audiences, from being scolded by everyone, to living a positive, optimistic and open-minded life.
Along the way, Guo Donglin has created his own brilliant career step by step with his indomitable perseverance and unswerving determination.
Although at the age of 56, he is still alone, without his wife and children. But that doesn't mean he's come to the end of his life. With the help of the short video platform, Guo Donglin hopes to regain his former glory on this new stage.
His passion and dedication to the cause of art have not wavered to this day.
In the depths of Guo Donglin's firm heart, there will always be a fire of an actor's dream, no matter how tortuous and long the road ahead is, he will definitely move forward bravely and bloom the most dazzling light!
