Section 1: The Past and Present Life of the Drama
How many years have we not seen Mr. Li? The image of the brick-like northern tough guy back then made many viewers salivate. To be honest, who would have thought that Li Qi has now entered the age of sixtieth year?
Li Qi was born in 1955 in an ordinary working family in western Beijing, and was dressed like a little old man by his parents when he was a child. Since he was a child, he has not stopped talking poorly, and his twitter energy can provoke his parents fiercely. When it was time to go to school, Li Qi did whatever he wanted, and he was simply a "stubborn element".
Later, under the order of the movement to go to the mountains and go to the countryside, Li Qi was forced to leave his hometown and went to a small village in northern Shaanxi to join the queue. Just when he thought it was boring, the god of fate opened a new door for him.
By chance, Li Qi participated in a performance by an amateur theater troupe in the village and played the role of a clown. Although there are not many lines, Li Qi's crazy energy on the stage really gave everyone a slap in the eye. Since then, the seeds of drama have been planted in Li Qi's heart.
Section 2 The road to drama is bumpy, and life is turbulent
It is ironic to say that although Li Qi was enthusiastic at that time, he was just a poor and sick intellectual. In order to apply for the drama school, he scraped together a sum of money by doing odd jobs and went straight to the Shaanxi People's Art Theater from his hometown.
As soon as he stood at the interview site, Li Qi was fiercely "swept away" by a group of teachers. At that time, people from all walks of life flocked to it, but Li Qi, the "black wooden guy", was out of place. Just when he thought that the opportunity would pass him by forever, an unexpected turn of events appeared.
It turned out that the theater urgently needed to recruit a group of students from the opera class at that time, and Li Qi happened to be a "capable person" who could sing, act, and play all-round. In this way, he was lucky enough to enter the school and started a drama life with twists and turns.
But the good times didn't last long, and the drama industry suffered Waterloo in the 90s. Li Qi became an instant hit in 1980 for starring in the drama "Bai Juyi in Chang'an", but good luck soon passed him. In order to support his family, he had to "cross over" to the sketch world to eat.
Section 3: Self-indulgence is a concern for health
has been brilliant, and has also been a "poor relative of a rich family", Li Qi's life can be described as ups and downs. In his most difficult time, a cooperation with Guo Da brought him a turning point, and the sketches of the two were a great success in the CCTV Spring Festival Gala that year, and the audience has remembered the name Li Qi since then.
However, overly brilliant careers often contain many hidden dangers. Due to long-term entertainment, Li Qi is addicted to alcohol and smoking. He often said, "It's good for actors to drink a lot of alcohol because it makes us more relaxed on stage." "
Indeed, Li Qi is always full of vitality and energy on stage. But as soon as he left the stage, he would brag and fart with a group of friends who drank and meat, and party all night. On one occasion he even got drunk with a friend and got into the trash.
Gradually, excessive smoking and drinking not only damaged his vocal cords, but also made his body deteriorate. At one time, he suffered from a series of "three highs" problems of the elderly, such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high blood lipids. The doctor reluctantly told him that if he continued like this, he might die young in some year.
Section 4 Wife and Children Persuade Each Other to Regain a Healthy Life
Li Qi lived to be old, and he really put into practice the sentence "Cigarettes and alcohol do not leave your hands, and there are only a few years". Just when he thought that his life was about to die like this, the words of his wife and son finally made him "wake up". The wife said, "You, you are a naughty old naughty boy, how can you spoil yourself so much by living on this skin?"
The son was even more blunt: "Dad, don't you want to see us more? You fought hard for your dreams back then, but now you want to strangle your dreams for alcohol?" His son's words pierced Li Qi's heart fiercely. Since then, he has begun the final "metamorphosis" of his life.
The first is to control the intake of tobacco and alcohol. His son designed a special tobacco control device for him, and he smoked a limited amount every day. At first, Li Qi was in great pain, but in order to live up to his family's expectations, he survived.
In addition, Li Qi began to insist on exercising, exercising for 40 minutes every morning with moderate exercise intensity. In less than half a year, his complexion was much more ruddy, and his weight had lost 20 pounds. The nightmare that was once shrouded in diabetes has finally been completely driven away.
Now Li Qi, although his hair has turned gray, his mental state is still very good. Some people laughed at him and called him "the immortal Li Lao". Indeed, at the age of 66, he still maintains a bit of naughty vitality, and from time to time he posts recent photos of himself in the circle of friends to share the joy of a healthy life with everyone.
Looking at Li Qi in the camera, I can't help but think of his bold words back then: "Isn't life for dreams?" Yes, if you have a dream, why not be afraid of the ups and downs of life? As long as you live, you will never be too far away from your dream. Let's cheer for Mr. Li Qi and every dreamer! Healthy life, let the dream come true!
Li Qi's story has indeed brought a lot of inspiration and warnings to dream chasers
Hold on to your dreams and never give up. Li Qi has had a strong interest in acting since he was a child, and even though the process was bumpy and difficult, he still did not give up his dream. In the end, through his own efforts, he became a successful actor. This tells us that as long as we have a dream in our hearts and continue to work hard for it, we will eventually harvest one day.
Be wary of indulgence after success. After achieving career success, Li Qi began to indulge in alcoholism, overeating and other unhealthy lifestyles, which eventually led to his health deteriorating. This reminds us that on the road to pursuing our dreams, we must not only do our best, but at the same time, we must also pay attention to maintaining a peaceful mind and not be carried away by short-term success.
Valuing the power of family affection. It was the love and exhortation of his wife and children that made Li Qi realize the importance of health and cheer up again. This shows that family affection is an important force to support us to pursue our dreams, and in difficult times, the encouragement and understanding of family members can inject courage and motivation into us.
Develop good habits. Li Qi later reshaped a healthy lifestyle by quitting smoking and drinking, controlling his diet, and exercising. Good work and living habits are the foundation and source of our dreams, and only when we are healthy can we pursue our dreams with full energy.
In short, Li Qi's life journey reflects the glory and disgrace and joy of chasing dreams, and he finally uses actions to interpret what it means to "never give up, the unity of knowledge and action". Such an attitude towards life is something that every dreamer should learn and reflect.
