Preface
Can poverty stop people from pursuing their dreams? In the face of the merciless blow of fate, do they bravely face it head-on, or cowardly choose to escape? A young man from the Northeast gave the answer with his own life.
Artistic family dreams enlightenment
Zhang Guoqiang was born in an artistic family, and his great-grandfather Ni Junsheng was a master of Pingju and founded the "Ni School" Pingju, and his disciples included Liu Xiaolou, Gui Baofen and others.
His mother followed the family tradition of performing Pingju, while his father was a Peking Opera artist.
Under the influence of this artistic atmosphere, Zhang Guoqiang developed a strong interest in theater.
Despite his illustrious background, Cheung's parents never put any pressure on him, and they wanted their children to develop according to their own interests and hobbies.
This free-range education method cultivates Zhang Guoqiang's personality of independence and pursuit of dreams.
Left home at the age of 17 and camped in Beiyi
In 1986, 17-year-old Zhang Guoqiang was admitted to the Jiamusi branch of Heilongjiang University of the Arts to study acting.
Leaving his hometown to study in an unfamiliar city was a new experience and challenge for him at a young age.
During his three-year study career in the school, Zhang Guoqiang systematically learned acting theory and basic skills under the careful guidance of professional tutors, laying a solid foundation for becoming an excellent actor in the future.
After graduation, Zhang Guoqiang was assigned to a repertory troupe in Jiamusi as an actor.
As a young man who has just stepped into society, he has a vision for a better life in the future and is eager to shine on the road of art.
However, this is when the real setbacks and tribulations come.
Realistic skinny wife scattered
After entering the society, Zhang Guoqiang found that his career was not as smooth sailing as he imagined.
As a small actor in a small troupe, opportunities are few and far between, and his talent has nowhere to be displayed.
At the same time, the pressures and burdens of life began to weigh on.
Poverty and the difficulty of starting his career gave Zhang Guoqiang a fatal blow to his married life.
In his early 20s, Zhang Guoqiang was already married and had children.
But extreme poverty prevented him from providing a decent living for his wife and children.
Gradually, a rift developed between him and his wife, which eventually led to the young couple's parting of ways.
His wife left with the children, leaving Zhang Guoqiang alone to work hard in Jiamusi.
This was the first major blow in Zhang Guoqiang's life, and he once lost confidence and motivation in life.
But fate is not so cruel to him, and the glimmer of life continues.
After the divorce, Zhang Guoqiang devoted all his energy to his career, and he was eager to change the status quo and regain his dignity through his own efforts.
When the opportunity comes, knock on the door
In 2006, the hit TV series "Soldier Assault" brought Zhang Guoqiang the first national popularity in his life.
In the play, he brilliantly interpreted the role of the instructor Gao Cheng, and his spirit of fortitude, enthusiasm and tenacious struggle deeply moved the audience.
With this role, Zhang Guoqiang won the first "Best TV Drama Actor Award in the Global Chinese List" in his more than 20 years of career.
Just when his career first saw the light of day, love began to be re-sowned.
In 2006, at a party, Zhang Guoqiang met Wang Xiaonan, who was also an actor.
She is a well-known "Northern Maggie Cheung", who was not yet 30 years old at the time, and had already starred in many TV series.
Although there is an age gap of 7 years between the two, and Zhang Guoqiang still carries the burden of a child, this has not affected Wang Xiaonan's good impression of him.
On the contrary, she admires Cheung's thoughtfulness towards his friends and his sense of responsibility to his son.
Under Luo Haiqiong's intentional matchmaking, the two quickly established a romantic relationship.
Career take-off dreams come true
With the addition of Wang Xiaonan, Zhang Guoqiang's career seems to have ushered in a new turnaround.
In 2008, he starred in the military drama "My Regiment Commander, My Regiment", which received great attention, and Zhang Guoqiang became an instant hit and was widely known by the audience.
The subsequent series of works such as "My Brother's Name is Shunyu" completely established his status in military-themed dramas.
Just when Zhang Guoqiang's career was rising, a bad news was like a sudden storm, which crushed him fiercely.
His elderly father was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and the spring breeze has not yet lingered, and the winter of life has come.
Zhang Guoqiang was very sad, but he could only face it head-on.
He took his father to Beijing for medical treatment, but he could do nothing but watch his loved ones die.
Since then, Zhang Guoqiang can no longer be as carefree about life as before.
The price of life has been shown in him bit by bit.
The wife supports the happiness of the family
After making breakthroughs in his career again and again, and the heavy blow of his father's death, Zhang Guoqiang's life encountered the last turning point - the full support of his wife Wang Xiaonan.
In order to give her husband the greatest support and dedication, Wang Xiaonan took the initiative to give up her acting career and become a housewife to concentrate on taking care of the family.
With the help of virtuous helpers, Zhang Guoqiang no longer has any worries in his career.
He devoted himself wholeheartedly to the shaping of every role, and with his excellent professionalism and superb acting skills, he won heavyweight awards with one hit, and was known as a leader in contemporary military dramas.
At the same time, Zhang Guoqiang also rebuilt his old friendship and re-entered each other's lives with his son who had been divorced for many years.
Under the communication and guidance of his wife Wang Xiaonan, the father and son went from being unfamiliar to familiar, from alienation to closeness, and finally came together under the fetters of love.
The future is thousands of miles to sway yourself
Today's Zhang Guoqiang has made some achievements, and his acting path is getting wider and wider, from military dramas to urban dramas, from dramas to comedies, all of which have outstanding performances.
Every time he plays a new role, he will devote himself wholeheartedly, strive to explore the inner motivation and personality characteristics of the characters, and hope to show the characters in front of the audience in a more three-dimensional and three-dimensional way.
It is with this kind of dedication to work and continuous pursuit of perfection that Zhang Guoqiang can continue to break through himself and go further and further on the road of acting.
A series of excellent works have become his best footnotes, witnessing the growth process of this young man from the Northeast who has transformed into a generation of acting actors.
