Preface
What does love really mean? A couple for a lifetime, or a child to extend the incense?
Love or career, which is more important? If you can't have both, how do you choose?
Family background
Mi Jiashan was born in 1947 and his ancestral home is Shanxi.
His father, Mi Jianshu, was a well-known official in Chengdu.
His mother, Ma Junzhi, was even more powerful, and he had been working in Sichuan Medical College until his retirement, and his official rank was already at the level of deputy secretary.
Mi Jiashan's sister Mi Ruirong is also a capable person, not only founded her own real estate company, but also held several social positions.
The family is all pillars, and Mijiashan has attracted attention since he was a child, showing extraordinary qualifications.
Especially in science, his talent is different from ordinary people, whether it is mathematics or physics, he is at the top of his grades.
The elders in the family are all proud of him, and the teachers are full of praise for him, seeing him as a treasure.
Mi Jiashan has lofty ambitions and has made great ambitions to be admitted to the top Harbin Institute of Technology in China for further study and become a military scientist.
He believes that only in this way can he give full play to his wisdom and pursue an infinitely wonderful future in his career.
However, the big country is in a special era of turmoil, and the fate of the Mijiashan family has also hit a wall.
Both parents lost their freedom, and Mi Jiashan had to leave Chengdu and go to the unfamiliar countryside of Shanxi to cut the queue.
This undoubtedly brought a huge impact and change to his life plan.
Career in the queue
At the age of seventeen or eighteen, Mi Jiashan was forced to transfer from the city to the countryside, and everything was so strange to him.
Although his family is well-off, he has never been exposed to rural life, and he can be described as a handicraft working in the fields.
At first, he only followed the peasants into the fields in obscurity.
However, Mi Jiashan is studious and talented by nature, and he spends his spare time painting and sketching, copying the customs and customs of the countryside.
The rugged and simple peasants were full of praise for his exquisite and delicate paintings, and praised the young man for being really amazing.
Because of his outstanding performance, Mijiashan was soon "reused" and was appointed as a teacher in the village.
Although he was only a scholar, he quickly won the hearts of his students with his rich knowledge and witty humor.
In a few years, he has become a well-known model teacher in the township, and is deeply loved by students and parents.
"Even if I was a student who didn't work very hard at the beginning, I didn't expect that one day I would become a people's teacher and teach the villagers to solve their doubts.
Many years later, Mi Jiashan often laughed dumbly when recalling the past.
With his humble attitude and erudition, he was widely regarded as a role model in the countryside.
It was with his noble character and professionalism that he was finally allowed to leave the countryside and enter Shanxi University to further his art studies four years later.
In this way, the trajectory of Mijiashan's fate slowly opened up a new artistic road.
He changed from a scholar to a painter, from a rural teacher to a professional art student, and his life experience showed a different kind of wonder.
Fate meets
In 1975, after graduating from 28-year-old Mijiashan University, he was assigned to Emei Film Studio and became a film artist.
With his excellent compositional skills and boundless imagination, he quickly became the top talent in the department, mainly responsible for designing sets and scenes for film and television dramas.
At the same time, he gradually fell in love with the art of film at work.
Two years later, in 1977, Emei Factory prepared to shoot a famous film "The Slave's Daughter", but it has been a headache to find a suitable heroine.
Mi Jiashan went to Shanghai Film and Television City with the director of production to "borrow generals", and when he entered the scene, the shadow of a simple girl suddenly broke into his sight.
That girl is Pan Hong, who just graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy, and is thirty-three years old.
She was wearing a white-washed dress and was wiping down the windows with a rag in hand.
A fine bead of sweat glistened on her smooth forehead, like a jewel in the crown, shining in the sun.
Pan Hong is shy and innocent, and a unique charm comes to her face, which makes Mi Jiashan immediately fascinated.
He stared at it for a long time, and finally said decisively to the production director: "It's her, she will definitely be able to play this role." "
In this way, fate drew an incomparably romantic symbol in the lives of the two in 1977.
Mi Jiashan personally opened the door to Pan Hong's career, and also opened a chapter to a beautiful marriage for himself.
In getting along in and out of the play, the two developed an infinite affection for each other, and sincerely entered the palace of marriage in 1978.
Career take-off
In 1980, Pan Hong was removed from Shanghai Film Studio because of an affair with director Yang Yanjin.
Mi Jiashan didn't say a word, and tried her best to ensure that she switched to Emei Factory and gave her new opportunities for her career.
A year later, in 1981, Pan Hong made a name for herself with the costume drama "Du Shi Niang" and was nominated for Best Actress at the Hundred Flowers Award for Popular Films.
At the same time, the script "Song in the Whirlpool" created by Mi Jiashan was also a sensation, and both caused an uproar.
As said back then, the two worked together in their careers and became an incomparable story.
In 1983, Pan Hong starred in "People to Middle Age", won the Golden Rooster Award in one fell swoop, and her career took off and became famous.
But she devoted herself to her career and left her family and husband Mi Jiashan behind.
Mi Jiashan later recalled that in their eight years of married life, they only spent 380 days together.
Although Pan Hong's career has reached its peak, she has retreated from having children.
Mi Jiashan's father's only wish before his death was to hope to hold his grandson, but unfortunately Pan Hong turned a blind eye to this.
In 1986, Mi Jiashan was heartbroken and finally had to choose to separate from Pan Hong.
Career ups and downs
After the divorce, Pan Hong's career is booming and fruitful.
With films such as "The Last Queen", "The Well", "The Last Aristocrat" and "Stock Madness", she has swept many awards at home and abroad.
For a long time, she has been a frequent visitor to major film festivals, shining brightly and attracting attention.
However, Mijiashan's career has fallen into a low ebb.
In 1988, the movie "The Stubborn Master" directed by him directly led to a dismal box office due to the provocation of a famous film critic.
For this, he had to punish himself and make a military order: if the film could not make a profit of 50%, he would voluntarily give up his salary for two years and temporarily suspend his directing work.
In 1990, Mi Jiashan reversed the decline with "The Mystery of St. Paul's Hospital" and made a profit of more than 700,000 yuan for the film company.
But the good times did not last long, with the arrival of 2000, Mijiashan gradually drifted away, and changed careers to the advertising and real estate industry.
After that, he only occasionally directed some dramas such as "Urban Crisis", "Love at 30 Degrees North Latitude", "Yellow Flowers on the Battlefield", "Left-behind Man" and other dramas.
Mi Jiashan, who is now 77 years old, although he has directed many popular film and television masterpieces, many viewers only know him because he was Pan Hong's ex-husband.
He still has no children and no daughters, and he lives alone, and the years may be somewhat bleak for him.
epilogue
Now, Mi Jiashan and his ex-wife Pan Hong have become close friends who talk about everything.
The two often get together to reminisce about the past and reminisce about the bright days of their youth.
From lovers to best friends, from hatred to affection, they finally learned to look at each other and smile with a tolerant and understanding heart.
There is no distinction between high and low love, the most important thing is whether you can understand each other.
The reason why Mi Jiashan and Pan Hong divorced was precisely because of the lack of this.
But fortunately, they finally turned the conflict into a jade silk, which can be regarded as a good ending.
Life is like a colorful puzzle, and everyone is looking for that last piece to fulfill their dream promise.
