Parents are both stage actors, how many people are greedy for this! Think about how he began to work in the children's art troupe of the Tianjin People's Art Theater at the age of 13, he is simply the little prince of the entertainment industry.
But this brother is not willing to be comfortable, and it is his life creed to go through the rivers and lakes.
I heard that he took the initiative to apply to go to the Xinjiang Construction Corps, which is not something that ordinary people dare to do, in that special era, the treatment he received was not satisfactory, but this was just a small episode on his life road.
The enthusiasm of Xinjiang and the culture of Henan gave him infinite inspiration, and the days in the art troupe were simply a stage full of sparks!
Unwilling to be resigned to smooth sailing, he challenged the entrance exam of the Central Academy of Drama and became famous in one fell swoop. Since then, his acting career has been even more boundless.
Who would have thought that this Tianjin young man's performance on the big screen would be so eye-catching?
"Under the Mountain is Hometown", "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", ...... One classic role after another has been revitalized under his interpretation.
Interpret Cao Cao and make a name for himself
On the journey of his acting career, every actor will encounter an opportunity and a challenge, and for Bao Guoan, playing Cao Cao has become the pinnacle of his acting career.
Back in 1990, when that opportunity came, Bao Guoan was selected to play the role of Cao Cao in the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
This is not an ordinary performance, but a daunting task to dig deep into the inner world of historical figures.

The directors seem to be apprehensive about him and dare not hand over other roles to him, as if he has been bound by Cao Cao's figure.
In 1997, an unexpected opportunity changed everything, and when he received an invitation to play the role of Lin Zexu in the movie "Opium War", he accepted it without hesitation.
This challenge made him feel the hope of starting anew, and he devoted himself to the creation of a new role, carefully interpreting every detail, and striving to show Lin Zexu's greatness and tenacity.
This time, he reaped the joy of success and saw the infinite possibilities on the road of acting.
