1. 64-year-old Shi Liang looks back on the past, and his firm pursuit of the actor's career and his endless love for his family shine brightly!
The morning sun fell gracefully on Shi Liang's slightly haggard but resilient face like a painter's palette, and his eyes looked affectionately and warmly at his daughter in his arms, who was sleeping sweetly.
Although as an actor, his achievements are not dazzling compared to his hosting career, and the audience's evaluation of him is also mixed, however, actor, this profession has always been the most ardent yearning in his heart, and it is his lifelong pursuit of dreams and beliefs.
Even though the years have ruthlessly left traces on him, he still sticks to the camera every day, in order to create a warm and harmonious home for his wife and daughter. Shi Liang quietly stared at the quiet sleeping faces of his wife and daughter, and his heart was overflowing with indescribable happiness and satisfaction.
Although his marriage with his ex-wife Cong Shan was not smooth sailing, he has now found his own family happiness.
Looking back, Shi Liang has a deep sense of gratitude for everything. Although he and Cong Shan had quarreled and divorced for various reasons, it was that marriage that gave him a precious son, and now, he also has a new wife and daughter, and has built the ideal family.
He knew that communication was essential to the maintenance of his family, so in his old age, he finally found the true meaning and destination of life.
2. Shi Liang's growth process, his study experience in France, and the story of how he stepped into the film and television industry
Shi Liang was born into an ordinary family of workers, and his father was a hard-working oil worker. Since he was a child, he has developed a strong interest in opera, and in order to support his hobby, his parents sent him to the Peking Opera class to learn the old students' trades.
With the resumption of the college entrance examination system, Shi Liang was successfully admitted to Beijing University of Foreign Chinese with excellent results, majoring in French. After graduating from university, Shi Liang's spirit of not admitting defeat prompted him to aspire to become a diplomat, however, in the end, he chose to stay at his alma mater as a French teacher.
Not satisfied with the status quo, he soon seized the opportunity to study at the University of Paris IV in France and successfully obtained a master's degree in international business management.
Shi Liang, who holds a double master's degree, did not choose to return to China, but resolutely decided to stay in France and work in a well-known financial company. Although he earned a considerable income, his love for theatre never waned.
In his spare time, he will actively participate in the performance of various scripts, and even desperately give up that high-paying position and devote himself to the film and television career.
In order to chase his dream of acting, Shi Liang successfully completed all his studies in the acting department of the Franco-American Film and Drama Academy through unremitting efforts. In that era, it was quite rare for an excellent actor with such an outstanding academic background, being proficient in multiple languages and having an extraordinary temperament.
He quickly rose to prominence in the French Chinese actor scene and gained a valuable reputation.
At this critical moment, the appearance of Cong Shan, a Chinese actress in Europe, completely subverted Shi Liang's original life plan. That year, with enthusiasm and desire for artistic pursuit, Cong Shan embarked on the road of studying in France, and met Shi Liang, who was also facing difficulties, here.
An accidental crew dispute made Shi Liang unexpectedly discover the "Wrangler" heroine who was once brilliant on the big screen. As they get to know each other, their friendship gradually warms up and eventually develops into a beautiful love story.
3. Meeting Cong Shan, knowing and falling in love, contradictions and challenges in married life
Cong Shan was born in a family with a strong cultural atmosphere in Beijing, and has been active on the screen as a child star since childhood. With her excellent acting skills and beautiful and moving appearance, her acting career is full of infinite possibilities.
However, fate often plays tricks on people, and Cong Shan encountered the jealousy of her peers and the strict requirements of her mentor on the road to her career development, and endured huge psychological pressure.
In order to find a new breakthrough, Cong Shan decided to go to France to continue her studies. In an unfamiliar environment, loneliness and loneliness go hand in hand, but it was during this difficult period that she got acquainted with the personable Shi Liang.
In a crew conflict, Shi Liang resolved the crisis for her with fluent French, and Cong Shan found spiritual sustenance with his help, and the relationship between the two deepened day by day.
Facing Cong Shan's thin and petite body, Shi Liang had a strong desire to protect in the depths of his heart. He not only takes care of her daily life, but also finds time to teach her French and share his life experience and learning experience.
Under the influence of the romantic capital of Paris, the relationship between the two became more and more intense, and Shi Liang mustered up the courage to express his love to Cong Shan.
Cong Shan accepted this affectionate friendship without hesitation, so they walked into the palace of marriage hand in hand. The days after the wedding are sweet and warm, and whenever the traditional festival comes, Shi Liang will always cook in person to create a warm atmosphere of home for Cong Shan.
Soon after, the news of Cong Shan's pregnancy came, and the happy life of the two seemed to have reached its peak.
However, at this moment, the hand of fate seemed to be playing with them, Shi Liang received an invitation to the French blockbuster movie "Patron Saint", and he resolutely chose to embark on the road of actor.
In order to chase his artistic dream, Shi Liang had no time to take care of the family, making the newly married Cong Shan stay alone in the empty room and feel lonely.
Even at the joyful moment of his son's birth, Shi Liang couldn't spare more energy to accompany his family.
Cong Shan has confided in her husband many times about the bitterness and loneliness in her heart, but Shi Liang always responds with indifference, stubbornly believing that career is the only thing in his life. The contradiction between the two is like a snowball, and finally two years after the birth of her son, Cong Shan couldn't bear it anymore, filed for divorce, and left Shiliang with the child.
Part 4: Cong Shan divorced and returned to China with her son, Shi Liang was full of regret and decided to return to China for development
After the divorce, Cong Shan returned to her motherland with her son and started her new acting career. Wherever she goes, she takes her son with her and takes care of him herself with the precious time she has between work.
As a mother and a working woman, Cong Shan's life is stressful.
Shi Liang, on the other hand, stayed alone in France, and although his career improved, the emptiness in his heart was unprecedented. After Cong Shan left, he began to reflect on the past, realizing that his former selfishness and indifference had caused great harm to his wife and children.
Remorse and self-blame poured in, but everything was irreparable.
Perhaps out of guilt, Shi Liang decided to make up for his past mistakes. In 2000, he was invited to return to China and played a cameo role in the TV series "Dangguan", and since then he has embarked on the road of being an actor in China.
After starring in many film and television works such as "CEO", "Love Is Colder Than Winter", "Save Me", "The Road to the Sky", "Anti-Drug Pioneer", etc., he has never been able to make breakthroughs in this field.
The audience has a vague impression of this "Chinese star" from France.
After feeling the unique ecological environment of the domestic film and television industry, Shi Liang strengthened his determination to stay in China for development. In the years that followed, although he never lacked performance opportunities, his results were mediocre and he never attracted widespread attention and recognition.
Until 2009, he won the favor of Beijing TV's documentary gold medal program - "Archive", and took the opportunity to serve as the keynote speaker of the program, which led him to officially embark on the road of hosting career.
As we all know, the host's working hours are relatively stable, allowing Shi Liang to have more time to accompany his young son to grow up. In fact, he and Cong Shan have become increasingly close, and although their marriage has long since been dissolved, they have always maintained a harmonious relationship like close friends.
And Cong Shan spared no effort to help Shi Liang and his son establish a closer father-son relationship, for which Shi Liang, as the protagonist, was deeply grateful.
Fifth, Shi Liang reinvigorated his majesty in China and reshaped the glory of the hosting field; Cong Shan once again entered the marriage hall, and Shi Liang was also happy to have a new daughter!
In 2011, Cong Shan and the well-known director Xiao Feng formed a good relationship and formed a new family. Faced with this fateful decision from his mother, Shi Liang's son showed strong resistance at first.
However, Shi Liang, as a father, did not directly deny it, but took his son to his side and enlightened and persuaded him in a patient and meticulous way.
He explained in detail to his son the hardships that Cong Shan had gone through over the years, hoping that his son would be sincerely happy for his mother's new life. After unremitting efforts, the son finally let go of his knot and fully supported his mother to enter the palace of marriage again.
Looking at his son's clear and bright eyes, the guilt in Shi Liang's heart was greatly alleviated.
Just as he was relieved that Cong Shan and his son had found happiness again, a new woman broke into his life. In 2012, Shi Liang, who was over half a hundred years old, met an outsider, and the two quickly fell into the sweet ocean of love from acquaintance to acquaintance.
With the encouragement and support of his son, Shi Liang resolutely built a love nest with this young woman and formed a new family. Soon after, he welcomed another little angel in his life - a lively and lovely daughter.
Shi Liang's love for his wife and daughter is far greater than his concern for Cong Shan and his son.
For his son, Shi Liang has never been estranged. "Your little sister is still too young and needs more care from me, you are a man, you should learn to understand. "When the holidays come, my son always asks for help taking care of his sister.
Looking at the warm picture of the family living in harmony, Shi Liang's heart was full of endless relief.
That failed marriage made him deeply realize the importance of communication in a family. He set a rule for himself that no matter what kind of emergency or anger he encountered, he must remain calm and rational and have something to say.
In fact, the emotional split between Shi Liang and Cong Shan did not have a substantial and irreconciliable dispute, but only a certain degree of impatience on the part of the two parties in the process of communication.
Shi Liang, who is now in his sixtieth year, seems to be at ease in balancing career and family. Although as an actor, his career achievements are slightly inferior to those in the field of hosting, but he has never had the slightest regret about his profession.
As an actor, this identity has always been his dream and persistent pursuit in life, and he will unswervingly stick to it, just to let his wife and daughter live a peaceful and happy life.
