From his childhood life of poverty and scavenging, to today's dazzling display on TV screens and loved by audiences across the country, Li Xuejian illustrates his endless pursuit of theatrical art with his personal experience.
In his youth, despite the bumpy future, he was never knocked down by the difficulties he encountered along the way, but became more and more courageous. With perseverance and unremitting efforts, he has made steady progress on this thorny road.
During his studies at the Central Academy of Drama, Li Xuejian was fortunate to meet the most important mentor and close friend in his life, the actress Yu Haidan, who was already emerging at that time. The two hit it off at first sight and quickly developed a deep friendship.
Yu Haidan was deeply moved by this rural youth who was full of enthusiasm and tireless in art, and she gave him meticulous care, like a "big tree" to shelter the young "sapling" from the wind and rain, provide nutrients, and help Li Xuejian gradually take root and grow and thrive.
With Haidan's careful care and full support, Li Xuejian's acting talent was finally released. From the early "913 Incident" and "Jiao Yulu", to the later classics such as "Water Margin" and "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", the characters he created have won countless applause and praise at home and abroad.
Every time he plays a role, Li Xuejian always devotes himself to it, sticks to his own artistic concept, and interprets the soul of each character with the same devotion as his first love. It is this kind of dedication and professionalism that has enabled him to gradually form a unique personal style on the road of acting, and won the reputation of "actor model".
2. 23 years ago, when Li Xuejian was diagnosed with advanced nasopharyngeal cancer, he could have chosen to quit the stage, but he bravely faced many difficulties and finally successfully defeated this deadly killer.
In 2000, the entire entertainment industry was shocked - the famous actor Li Xuejian was diagnosed with advanced nasopharyngeal cancer! For an actor, this is undoubtedly the heaviest blow.
Knowing that the relentless development of cancer would deprive him of his precious voice and perhaps even force him to say goodbye to the stage for good was a deadly poison that shattered decades of hard work in his acting career.
All his friends and relatives persuaded him to let go of everything and live the last good days of his life in peace.
However, Li Xuejian's heart was mired in unprecedented pain and contradictions. Faced with a life-or-death decision, he is in an endless struggle. He began to retrace his life over and over again, from his childhood as a child picking up scrap by the train tracks to make a living, to his tireless efforts to make a name for himself in the field of theater......

The whole process was full of uncertainties and difficulties, but he never flinched in the slightest.

In this way, 23 years have passed, and this tenacious old actor finally defeated the enemy who once threatened his life! He used his life to perfectly interpret the true meaning of "perseverance".
3. It turned out that Li Xuejian grew up in poverty since he was a child and experienced countless hardships. Fortunately, he received the careful guidance of his mentor Yu Haidan, and thus achieved brilliant achievements on the road of acting.
When it comes to Li Xuejian's growth road, it is really full of ups and downs and twists and turns. He was born into a poor rural family and struggled with poverty since he was a child. As a child, he was just a poor kid picking up scrap next to the train tracks, and he was often treated coldly and ridiculed by others.
Due to his family's poverty, he was unable to access even the most basic learning opportunities. However, as he grew older, his living situation did not improve significantly. In pursuit of knowledge, he had to walk dozens of kilometers to school every day, often encountering discrimination and ridicule from others along the way.
However, he was never defeated by these difficulties, but strengthened his ideals and beliefs.
Thankfully, fate finally came to the aid of this young man who loved art. During his time at the Drama Academy, he met Yu Haidan, an actress who was already well-known at the time.
The two hit it off at first sight and quickly established a deep friendship.
Yu Haidan was deeply touched because she fell in love with Li Xuejian's unswerving and unremitting pursuit of art. She had a deep insight into the flaming artistic ideals in Li Xuejian's heart, and was determined to devote herself to his free assistance and strong support.
Since then, Yu Haidan has turned into a tough and strong "big tree", relying on his profound performance skills to provide shelter and nutrition for Li Xuejian, and carefully cultivate this energetic "sapling".
Under her careful care, Li Xuejian finally took root and grew on the road of acting, and became more and more consolidated.
Time has passed, and Li Xuejian's talent has finally shown its dazzling brilliance like a volcanic eruption. From his early starring role in "913 Incident" to later "Water Margin", the superb interpretation of each of his roles has amazed the audience.
The poor boy who spent his days scavenging on the streets has now become a national treasure actor who is loved by audiences across the country.
All of this is inseparable from Yu Haidan's deafening enlightenment. It was her selfless help and precise guidance to Li Xuejian that made this "seed" that had been baptized by secular ups and downs finally break through the ground and bloom with dazzling light on the road of acting.
4. Over the years, Li Xuejian has always adhered to his awe of art, devoted himself to the shaping of each role, and realized his dreams with his flesh and blood.
Since the day he first appeared on stage, Li Xuejian has regarded awe of art as his lifelong pursuit.
Over the years, he has been fully engaged in every performance, striving to interpret each role perfectly. For the theater career, he used his own flesh and blood to realize his dream step by step, and never flinched.
Looking back, Li Xuejian's life can be described as a struggle against fate one after another. He was born in a rural area and came from a poor family, and he has experienced the warmth and coldness of the world since he was a child. However, it is these tempering that have forged his unyielding fighting spirit.
During his studies at the Central Academy of Drama, he met his life confidant Yu Haidan. The veteran actress was moved by Li Xuejian's enthusiasm for art and decided to do her best to nurture this young "sapling".
Under the earnest teachings of the well-known director Yu Haidan, Li Xuejian is like a butterfly on the road of acting, shining brightly. He starred in the early masterpiece "913 Incident", and then later "Water Margin" and other classic works, all reflect his incomparable love and pious attitude towards the cause of art.
Every time he plays a new role, he always digs deep into the inner soul of each character with the reverence of first love. In order to create a good character, he even did not hesitate to shave his hair and lose weight significantly, which can be said to be using his own flesh and blood to carve the ideal character image bit by bit.
It is this dedication and professionalism that has made Li Xuejian gradually unique in the entertainment industry and won the reputation of "model actor". From an obscure student at the School of Drama to a national treasure actor who is now loved by audiences across the country, he has spent his life perfectly interpreting the artist's unwavering pursuit of career.
However, just this year, in the high-profile large-scale costume mythological drama "Fengshen", one of Li Xuejian's decisions has attracted widespread attention and controversy.
This time, he made a shocking decision - to abandon the use of voice acting and instead give voice to the character himself. Although this decision seems to be taken for granted, it has aroused heated discussions and doubts in public opinion here in Li Xuejian.
Some viewers directly accused this as the biggest failure in "Fengshen", which is extremely disrespectful to the characters; Others blamed the director's poor decision-making. Some people even expressed their understanding, thinking that a veteran actor like Li Xuejian, as he gets older, some mistakes can be forgiven.
Public opinion is boiling, and various opinions are emerging one after another. People have speculated and questioned Li Xuejian's motives for making this move, and it seems difficult to understand why a veteran actor would make such a bizarre choice.
Even the crew tried to persuade him to change his mind, but Li Xuejian resolutely stuck to his beliefs. In the end, the show can only adopt "the best solution in extraordinary times".
However, the truth of the matter is that Li Xuejian hopes to interpret the charm and core of the character through his unique voice, and show his lifelong artistic pursuit and awe.
Until now, the major decision made by Li Xuejian in the TV series "Fengshen" has still caused widespread heated discussions and speculation. However, if we dig deep and observe the life process of Mr. Li Xuejian, it is not difficult to decipher the answer to this puzzle.
In fact, it is no accident that Li Xuejian insists on personally contributing to the character, and there is a profound intention behind it - he hopes to be able to profoundly interpret the spiritual connotation and soul of the character with his unique voice that has experienced life and death and tasted all the flavors of the world.
In his eyes, only through his own singing, acting, and immersive performance can he truly reproduce the character image of King Wen of Zhou, who has suffered many hardships and vicissitudes. And the voice that has gone through the changes of the world and the warmth of human feelings has undoubtedly become the most appropriate commentary.
Behind all this, it shows Mr. Li Xuejian's firm belief and great admiration for the cause of art.
He lived a poor life since he was a child, and he was once just a poor boy who lived by scavenging waste by the train tracks. However, Lady Luck favored him and allowed him to study under the famous soprano Yu Haidan.
Under the tutelage of his benefactor, he gradually emerged on the road of acting and achieved brilliant achievements.
Over the years, Li Xuejian has always adhered to his loyalty and love for art. Whenever he appears in a new drama, he always devotes himself to it, shaping each role with the same devotion as his first love.
For the needs of the role, he was even willing to shave his hair, lose weight, and realize his ideals step by step with his flesh and blood, and never gave up.
It wasn't until 23 years ago that his life was in jeopardy when he was diagnosed with advanced nasopharyngeal cancer. However, this tenacious and unyielding veteran actor did not choose to back down, but did his best to fight the disease to the death, and finally defeated the demon that once put his life on the line.
All of this stems from his dedication and devotion to the cause of art. The decision to personally contribute to the role this time is nothing more than a continuation of his lifelong faith.
In Li Xuejian's mind, artistic creation is the supreme pursuit, and no criticism or questioning from the outside world can shake his loyalty and love for this cause.
