Li Qiang was born in an ordinary family in Yantai, Shandong Province in 1960, and he showed extraordinary athletic talent and strong military dreams during his childhood.
At that time, becoming an athlete or soldier was the dream of many boys, and Li Qiang was no exception.
As a child, he often imagined himself wearing a military uniform, standing heroically on the playground, or galloping on the field, winning applause and honors.
Although Li Qiang did not think that he would enter the showbiz in his childhood, the arrangement of fate is often unexpected.
At the suggestion of his sister, Li Qiang joined the China Railway Repertory Theatre and started his acting career, and then he was admitted to the advanced class of Beijing Film Academy to further hone his acting skills.
In Zhujiang Film Factory, he started from the bottom work, experienced many hardships and setbacks, and in 1984, he finally ushered in his own turning point - starring in the movie "Girl and Guy is in the Year".
The villain "Lin Fei" in the "Kyoto Chronicle"
"Kyoto Chronicle" is an important turning point in Li Qiang's acting career, in this drama, he played the villain character "Lin Fei" not only made the audience remember him, but also made his acting skills widely recognized.
The challenge of playing the role of a villain is that the audience often confuses the character's traits with the actor himself, and Li Qiang is no exception in this regard, with many people mistakenly believing that he is also a "bad guy" in real life.
"Ximen Qing" in "Water Margin"
In 1996, the TV series "Water Margin" began to be filmed, and Li Qiang decided to challenge the classic role of Ximenqing.
This decision caused quite a stir at the time, because the role of Ximenqing was complex and controversial.
Li Qiang was not intimidated by these difficulties, he delved into the psychology of the character, and showed the multifaceted nature of Ximenqing to the fullest.
After the broadcast of "Water Margin" in 1998, Li Qiang's acting skills were highly praised by the audience and critics, and the image of Ximenqing he successfully created has also become a classic.
This role not only allowed him to reach new heights in his acting career, but also made him a household name.
The troubles brought by the role of "Ximen Qing".
Because the character of Ximen Qing is too vivid and real in the TV series "Water Margin", Li Qiang's image is deeply ingrained in the hearts of the audience, so that many women stay away from him in real life.
Although Li Qiang is a gentle and polite person in real life, many people have difficulty distinguishing him from the "bad guy" portrayal in the play.
This misunderstanding directly affected Li Qiang's career, and after the success of the role of "Ximen Qing", Li Qiang once fell into a low period of his career.
He found it difficult to get a new role, as the producers and directors feared that the audience would confuse him with "Ximen Qing", which would affect the effect of the film.
Although Li Qiang tried to transform in a variety of ways, this period of slump lasted for a long time, and it was not until the limelight passed that he gradually returned to his normal work rhythm.
Despite some success in his career, he felt lonely and helpless in his personal life.
At the age of 38, Li Qiang still has not found a suitable partner, which not only confuses him, but also makes his family and friends worry about him.
Every time he goes on a blind date or date, the other party will always have concerns about his role in "Water Margin", which makes Li Qiang's love life extremely difficult.
At a class reunion, Li Qiang met his fan, Li Shu, who was an ordinary clerk but had an in-depth understanding of Li Qiang's work.
During the exchange, Li Shu found that Li Qiang was completely different from "Ximen Qing", he was a sunny, kind and humorous warm man.
Li Shu's understanding and support made Li Qiang feel unprecedented warmth, and the two soon fell in love.
In 2008, Li Qiang and Li Shu entered the palace of marriage, and Li Qiang was 48 years old that year.
Life after marriage made Li Qiang feel unprecedented happiness and satisfaction, and four years later, Li Qiang welcomed his child and became an old father.
Not only did he continue to make progress in his career, but he also found true happiness in his family life, and now Li Qiang's life can be described as happy, and his relationship with Li Shu has deepened, becoming a good story in the entertainment industry.
Gradually get rid of the "Ximenqing" label
Years of hard work and persistence have allowed Li Qiang to finally get rid of the shackles of the role of "Ximen Qing", which is a classic, but Li Qiang is unwilling to be defined by a role for a lifetime.
He constantly challenged himself and tried different types of roles, and finally won the recognition and love of the audience again in recent years with works such as "Celebrating More Than Years" and "Rebel".

"The River is Sunrise" closely fits our lives, reflects changes and hopes, and makes people think deeply, before we are ready to invest in the plot, we might as well think about a question: What elements do you think are needed for a TV series to be popular?

Over the past 40 years, he has uncovered his artistic career with hundreds of works, and his growth has not been easy. After graduating from high school, he discovered a love for acting in mundane loading and unloading jobs.
