1. Travel through the time tunnel and look back on the prosperity of the past
Time flies like a song. The once prosperous scene echoed in my mind like a movie, but today, Zhao Lijuan, who has entered the threshold of 58 years old, is no longer the enterprising and youthful girl, the traces of the years slowly climbed up the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, but her face was filled with endless happiness and satisfaction.
At this moment, she was sitting peacefully on the soft sofa, her loving eyes fixed on her daughter playing happily on the carpet, and the peace and harmony in her heart were like the most precious treasures in the world.
Looking back on the past, Zhao Lijuan's life is full of struggle and glory, and there is no regret in her eyes, only satisfaction and gratitude for her current life.
When she was young, despite her modest family, her love for artistic performance was in full swing, and she vowed to become a star on the screen one day in the future.
Although her family had doubts about this rapidly changing industry, Zhao Lijuan still firmly chose this path and was successfully admitted to the Central Academy of Drama, which opened a new chapter in her life.
After graduation, she joined the Railway Art Troupe, and brought countless wonderful performances to the masses of people with her talent and efforts, and worked silently for ten full spring and autumn, despite countless hardships and hardships, she never had the idea of giving up.
It is this persistent pursuit of dreams that makes Zhao Lijuan shine in the long river of life.
In 1997, when 32-year-old Zhao Lijuan was full of passion to shoot a TV series on location, the wheel of fate quietly turned. The originally scheduled male protagonist was suddenly absent, and she had to return to Beijing to look for opportunities, and it was this serendipitous encounter that made her fortunate to meet the famous screenwriter Ms. Qiong Yao.
Ms. Qiong Yao was deeply attracted by Zhao Lijuan's unique temperament, so she carefully arranged for her to audition, and successfully entered the crew of the costume drama "Huanzhu Gege", which attracted much attention at that time.
In 1998, after the release of this shocking classic, Zhao Lijuan's role as "Concubine Ling" immediately became the focus of attention, and was deeply loved by the audience, and finally, she won the Golden Eagle Award for the most popular actress award that year for this role.
However, joy is soon replaced by new challenges and temptations. Ms. Qiong Yao eagerly looks forward to Zhao Lijuan being able to continue to participate in the filming of the second part of "Huanzhu Gege". In the face of this new opportunity, Zhao Lijuan is full of longing and eager to try.
However, just as Zhao Lijuan was immersed in the endless joy of playing a new role with all her might, a sudden upheaval came like a thunderbolt from the sky - she was so happy! This is undoubtedly the best reward for the couple's long-awaited first newborn baby, and it is undoubtedly the best reward for their hard work and pursuit of their dreams.
Part II: Dream Seeds in the Beijing Compound
On a bright night in 1965, Zhao Lijuan was born in a simple and warm compound in Beijing. Her parents are full of joy and hope that their daughter will be able to do her best to contribute to the prosperity of their country in the future.
However, Zhao Lijuan, who has had a strong interest in artistic performance since she was a child, has already planted a seed of a fiery dream of being an actress in her heart. Although her family is worried about this fast-changing industry, Zhao Lijuan's unstoppable pursuit of her dreams is unstoppable.
She did not hesitate to sign up for various selection exams, and finally stood out with her outstanding talent and was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama, embarking on a new journey towards her dream.
After graduation, Zhao Lijuan returned to the Railway Art Troupe and continued to bring wonderful performances to the masses. There, she silently dedicated ten years of spring and autumn, after countless twists and turns, but never gave up.
In order to shoulder the economic responsibility of the family, and at the same time to make the dream come true, Zhao Lijuan's unremitting efforts have won the admiration and praise of everyone.
Part 3: The drama road is staggered, and fate will meet
In 1997, 32-year-old Zhao Lijuan devoted herself to the outdoor live-action shooting of a TV series in Zhuozhou, Hebei Province. It was at this critical moment that the wheel of fate began to spin mysteriously.
The actor Li Nan, who was originally scheduled to shine in the play, was forced to urgently transfer to the filming site of another TV series "Huanzhu Gege" in Beijing that was under intense preparation due to a sudden accident.
In order to find Li Nan's stand-in, Zhao Lijuan got in touch with the assistant director of the crew and decided to return to Beijing immediately. During this waiting time, a chance chance made her meet the famous screenwriter Qiong Yao.
The unique quiet and atmospheric charm exuded by Zhao Lijuan amazed Ms. Qiong Yao, and with a strong desire to excavate, she immediately arranged for someone to carefully make up for her, select suitable costumes, and skillfully arrange her to participate in the audition of the crew of "Huanzhu Gege".
In 1998, after the official release of this shocking palace masterpiece, Zhao Lijuan's image of "Concubine Ling" was unique, and her gentle, humble and respectful character traits made her warmly sought after by the audience.
With her outstanding acting strength, she won the honor of the Golden Eagle Award for Best Popular Actor that year.
However, after the joy, new challenges and temptations abound. Screenwriter Qiong Yao eagerly hopes that Zhao Lijuan can continue to participate in the sequel of the play, in order to provide her with a new opportunity to shape the role full of expectations, Zhao Lijuan is naturally full of enthusiasm.
Fourth, the contradiction between ideals and reality
Just as Zhao Lijuan was devoting herself to the creation of a new role, a sudden change was like a bolt from the blue - she was pregnant! For this long-awaited first newborn, it is undoubtedly the best feedback for her and her husband Zhang Mingming's arduous journey of pursuing their dreams.
Originally, Zhao Lijuan was full of joy and planned to put down her career temporarily and go all out to take care of her children. However, the huge attraction of her career has put her in a dilemma.
Zhang Mingming, who had insight into his wife's inner contradictions, strictly supervised Zhao Lijuan in order to prevent her from making decisions to harm the fetus. Still, tragedy was inevitable.
On a certain occasion when Zhang Zhizhi went out to buy ingredients, Zhao Lijuan quietly left home and went to the hospital to ruthlessly deprive her of her life in her womb, just to be able to devote herself to the filming of the second part of "Huanzhu Gege" without any scruples.
This decision undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Zhang Mingming, a father who longed to have a child. He was tormented in his heart, and even had the idea of divorce for a while.
However, in the end, he still chose forbearance and tolerance, and personally sent his wife on the road to chase his dreams.
While her personal career is thriving, the love life between Zhao Lijuan and her husband has encountered unprecedented challenges! The couple's relationship was at an impasse for a while, and the whole family atmosphere was like a stagnant pool, which was suffocating.
Fifth, the plan to delay the army, the family first
With the popularity of the second part of "Huanzhu Gege", the role of "Concubine Ling" created by Zhao Lijuan is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and its fame is famous. However, just as her career was beginning to take off, her relationship with her husband Zhang Zhizhi was facing a severe test.
Zhao Lijuan paid a heavy price for the decision - her husband was confused by her behavior, the relationship between the two fell to a freezing point, and the family atmosphere was shrouded in gloom.
She felt remorseful and realized that her decision had caused deep hurt and regret to her family.
So, Zhao Lijuan tried her best to repair her intimate relationship with her husband, hoping to regain his understanding and love. Fortunately, as time passed, Zhang Zhizhi gradually let go of the mustard in his heart, and the relationship between the two was eased and gradually warmed up.
In the years that followed, Zhao Lijuan participated in many TV series that were widely loved by the audience, but every time she took off her ancient costume and returned to her real-life modern female identity, that unique personality charm seemed to disappear.
She can only work hard in countless supporting roles and live an ordinary and low-key life.
Despite the painful choices she made in her early years to pursue her career, her desire to have children was unwavering. In a mood full of joy, Zhao Lijuan resolutely decided to put down all the work in her hands, devote herself wholeheartedly to family life, and enjoy the quiet time of pregnancy.
Sixth, look back in your later years and comprehend life
Eventually, a beautiful and lovely daughter came to earth. Although he is not the boy that the couple has been waiting for for a long time, Zhang Mingming is still full of joy and welcomes the new member of the family with full of fatherly love.
Zhao Lijuan, who originally planned to say goodbye to her film and television career completely, was perceived by her husband's keen eye. Zhang Mingzhi knew that his wife's love for her career was deep-rooted, and took the initiative to find and recommend suitable scripts for her, encouraging her to follow her heart's call and continue to chase her dreams.
Since then, Zhao Lijuan has resolutely turned the focus of her life to her family, looking for the sense of belonging that she once missed. She is committed to mending the scars left by that wrong decision, and dedicates all her love and care to her family without reservation.
Even when she was working hard in the crew, she did not skimp on precious time to enjoy every minute she spent with her husband and daughter.
In the following years, Zhao Lijuan successfully created many deeply rooted characters, all of which showed a restrained and deep, independent and capable female demeanor.
Although she played mostly supporting roles, her superb acting skills deeply touched the heartstrings of the audience and won widespread praise.
However, the years are ruthless, and as time goes by, Zhao Lijuan's appearance can no longer be as delicate and moving as in the past. Her figure is slightly plump, but her gestures reveal an unprecedented sense of happiness and satisfaction.
After half a lifetime of wind and rain, she finally deeply understood the eternal philosophy behind the words "giving" and "gaining". Now Zhao Lijuan has learned to be content and happy, and cherish everything she has in front of her.
