There are such old drama bones in the entertainment industry, although they became famous early and are no longer like ordinary people, often worrying about food and clothing, but they are like ordinary people, very economical, wearing clothes of dozens of yuan, living in a very small house, eating very ordinary, and not treating themselves as popular stars at all, and the old drama bone Zhang Shaohua is the most simple one among them.
At 11:10 on March 23, 2021, the old drama bone Zhang Shaohua died of illness in Beijing at the age of 75.
Looking at Zhang Shaohua's life, Zhang Shaohua has always endured hardships and rarely enjoyed it since he was a child. Zhang Shaohua was born in a very poor family in 1946, she is the youngest child in the family, with 5 older brothers and 3 older sisters.
Although she is the youngest child in the family, because the family is too poor, Zhang Shaohua did not get more favor from her parents when she was a child, when she was only 3 years old, the only earning father in the family died of illness, which was even worse for the family at that time, and the blow was too great.
Because her mother has to work to support the family, she also has to take care of her brother and sister, so the youngest Zhang Shaohua can only be handed over to her grandmother to raise, fortunately, grandma loves Zhang Shaohua very much, not only often buys her delicious food, but also takes her to the theater whenever she is free.
Slowly, Zhang Shaohua also fell in love with singing, when he was 13 years old, Zhang Shaohua entered the Ping Theater, first learned Tsing Yi, and later learned Cai Dan and Lao Dan, the reason why he began to learn singing at such a young age was entirely because of family reasons.

After becoming famous, Zhang Shaohua is still very thrifty, and her husband Zhang Huibao has been living in the 40-square-meter house assigned to her by the unit, the house is very old, but Zhang Shaohua has always been reluctant to leave, the reason is not only that she is in love with the old, but more importantly, this is the marriage room when she married her husband, and she has always taken it very seriously.
And her relationship with her husband Zhang Huibao is also very deep, since the two got married, they have never quarreled, not even blushing, it can be seen how much the two love each other, Zhang Shaohua and her husband Zhang Huibao have a son.
