Early in the morning of 2023, Zhang Baishuang walked calmly towards a cemetery on the bank of the Songhua River in Harbin. Here rests her beloved husband Gong Xibin. The cold autumn drizzle was blowing, and her eyes couldn't help but reddened slightly.
Zhang Baishuang stood quietly in front of a new and solemn marble tombstone, above which were engraved three big characters full of affection and friendship: "Gong Xibin". She involuntarily reached out and gently touched the cold texture, as if she could draw her husband's breath from it. With a look of endless grief on his face, even his eyes looked hollow.
"Xibin, another year has passed." Zhang Baishuang sighed deeply, slowly squatted down, and carefully placed a bouquet of carnations as red as fire in front of the tombstone. The fragrance of flowers came to her nose, as if she was reminded of the warmth and kindness of her husband.
In the past, they were such a loving couple, and they have experienced countless ups and downs together. However, now Gong Xibin has passed away for more than four years, leaving Zhang Baishuang alone in the world. Her longing for her husband is like the cold rain of this winter, endless, and she doesn't know when it will stop.
"Xibin, please rest assured, everything is fine with me. May you take care of yourself in heaven as well. Zhang Baishuang whispered to the tombstone, conveying his innermost emotions to the tomb without reservation. This eternal concern has long been deeply engraved in her heart, and it will not fade until the last moment of her life.
Perhaps in the next life, they will have the opportunity to meet again, hug each other tightly, and continue to write that eternal love story. For Zhang Baishuang, this commitment is the source of all her hope and strength.
Gong Xibin was born in 1953 in an ordinary working family in Harbin. As a child, he was small but very independent, and he was very considerate of family life.
The mother was sick all year round and was often bedridden. My father worked hard in the factory alone, and his income was meager, making it difficult for him to afford the living expenses of the whole family. In order to reduce the burden on his family, Gong Xibin aspired to become a soldier since he was a child.
Gong Xibin's heart has always been engraved with a dream seed full of innocence - wearing a heroic and mighty military uniform, defending the peace of the motherland and allowing his parents to live a better life without worry. This dream is incomparably simple and pure, but it is like a beacon, leading Gong Xibin to move forward step by step towards the goal.
It was 1972, when the young Gong Xibin was studying on the university campus, and an opportunity that was enough to change the trajectory of his fate quietly came. The staff of Changchun Film Studio saw Gong Xibin's unique appearance advantages and extraordinary temperament, so they extended an olive branch to him - inviting him to join the actor troupe.
Gong Xibin, who is new to the entertainment industry, has not shown too much enthusiasm for this industry. However, when he learned that he could earn a steady income by joining the troupe, subtle changes began to take place in his heart. This job may help him achieve financial independence more quickly, which in turn will ease the burden on his family.
After a short but in-depth thought, Gong Xibin resolutely decided to embark on this new life journey. He knows that only in this way can he share part of the responsibility for his family and let his parents live a happier and more fulfilling life.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, in 1979, Gong Xibin was 27 years old at this time, and he was devoting himself to the intense filming of the movie "Be Proud, Mother". A seemingly unremarkable opening scene, but it is destined to completely change his life.
On the set, a young woman caught Gong Xibin's attention. Her name is Zhang Baishuang, and although she comes from an ordinary background, she exudes a unique charm. Her persistent pursuit of life and her ardent love for the acting career deeply moved Gong Xibin.
Under Zhang Baishuang's gentle and simple appearance, there is a pure and kind temperament. She exudes youthful vitality all over her body, and she is meticulous and conscientious in her work. Gong Xibin was deeply moved by her firm belief in her dreams.
Under the traction of common ideals and pursuits, the hearts of the two gradually got closer. Again and again, they discovered that there were striking similarities between them—purity, diligence, and modesty.
During the filming of the film, Gong Xibin and Zhang Baishuang were often inseparable, and they faced countless challenges and difficulties together, but this relationship became stronger and stronger. Even after only four days of marriage, Zhang Baishuang had to rush to Guangxi to carry out a new shooting mission, and they still maintained close contact through letters and phone calls.
As long as he has a little spare time, Mr. Gong Xibin will not hesitate to visit his best friend Ms. Zhang Baishuang, or meet in a city where the two of them live together. Although the time spent together is always so short and difficult to grasp, as long as you see the bright and warm smiles on their faces, it is enough to illuminate each other's hearts and dispel all gloom.
Whether it is the wonderful performance in the movie "Pride, Mother", or the superb performances in many subsequent film and television works, their "model couple" in and out of the play have profoundly interpreted the true meaning of "helping each other in the same boat" with practical actions.
Although his acting career is booming, Mr. Gong Xibin has not been stagnant because of this. In the mid-nineties of the last century, he was organizationally appointed to the position of head of the actors' troupe of Changchun Film Studio. Since then, he has devoted most of his energy to behind-the-scenes administration.
As the head of the troupe, the biggest challenge faced by Mr. Gong Xibin was the intricate contradictions within the troupe. Due to historical reasons, the relationship between these veteran actors has become delicate and sensitive, and many of them have chosen to avoid each other, and the atmosphere of the whole team is extremely tense.
However, in the face of such a predicament, Mr. Gong Xibin did not retreat, but bravely stood up and took the initiative to take the responsibility of resolving the conflict. He communicates openly with all members with a calm and tolerant attitude, and listens patiently to everyone's ideas and suggestions.
Mr. Gong Xibin did his best to dispel misunderstandings and make everyone aware of each other's strengths and strengths. At the same time, he works tirelessly to plan and organize various networking events with the aim of strengthening the emotional connection between team members and achieving the goal of unity.
Until his honorable retirement in 2013, Mr. Gong Xibin's enthusiasm and dedication to his career remained the same. He was invited to serve as the dean of the Film and Television School of Dalian University of the Arts, and is wholeheartedly committed to cultivating more outstanding performing talents.
With his profound educational skills and rich acting experience, Mr. Gong Xibin has taught and selflessly dedicated. He tirelessly answers students' questions and hopes to maximize their potential and inspire their love for the acting industry.
With his noble teacher's demeanor and profound knowledge, Mr. Gong Xibin quickly won the admiration and love of the majority of teachers and students. Under his words and deeds, countless students are full of firm belief in their acting careers, and have repeatedly achieved good results in various competitions.
After leaving the dazzling stage spotlight, Gong Xibin and Zhang Baishuang ushered in a new chapter of life. Gong Xibin devoted himself to behind-the-scenes administrative work, and Zhang Baishuang also successfully transformed into an outstanding assistant director recognized in the industry. The two new elites are closely united and jointly play an important role in the Chinese film and television industry.
Outside of work, they enjoy a happy family life to the fullest, and have become a model of natural and loving love in the eyes of their colleagues. Whenever the touching story of the couple is mentioned, people always express their heartfelt envy and blessings.
Whether it is at the peak of his career or in the ordinary days after leaving the stage, Gong Xibin has always maintained a humble and low-key demeanor, and regards himself as an ordinary husband and father. He dutifully shoulders the burden of the family, cares about the growth of the children, and takes care of the daily life of both parents.

For Gong Xibin, family is the most sacred and cherished concern in his heart. It is this firm belief in family affection that prompts him to go all out to accompany his family and give them meticulous love and care at the most glorious moment of his career.
Once, on a grand occasion such as the 50th anniversary celebration of Changying Studio, Gong Xibin's thoughtfulness and meticulousness were vividly displayed. In order to ensure that each veteran actor can enjoy a delicious meal while avoiding physical discomfort, he carefully advises the hotel chef to understand everyone's dietary taboos and preferences beforehand.
What's even more rare is that Gong Xibin also personally told the drivers to be sure to arrange taxis for those actors who live in distant places, so that they can return to their warm homes safely after returning from the fun. This meticulous and considerate care deeply moved everyone present and praised this "good leader".
However, time flies, and time flies. Until 2019, Gong Xibin passed away due to illness at the age of 66. This outstanding actor who has devoted his life to the Chinese film and television industry has suffered from illness in the last journey of his life, which is deeply regrettable.
Dear users, when we learned the news of the death of Mr. Gong Xibin, we couldn't help but feel deep grief and regret for his beloved wife Zhang Baishuang, who had accompanied him through ups and downs for decades.

The deep affection between them has long transcended the boundaries of life and death and has become an eternal spiritual sustenance. With this precious belief, Zhang Baishuang firmly moved forward to find a new source of strength and a direction in life for himself in the world.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the autumn of 2023, and it has been four spring and autumn years since Gong Xibin's death. Every Qingming Festival and her husband's anniversary, Zhang Baishuang always goes to the cemetery to sweep the grave with awe.
She placed the delicate flowers in front of the tombstone and gazed at them for a moment, as if she could feel her husband's soul beside her. "Xibin, I'm all right here, and may you take care of yourself in heaven." Zhang Baishuang whispered and conveyed his feelings of longing to the tomb without reservation.
