Speaking of Zhao Benshan, many people may first think of his classic sketches in the Spring Festival Gala, or those well-known lines. But beneath his glamorous surface, Zhao Benshan's life and career are far more colorful and tortuous than the performance itself. From a helpless orphan, to becoming a superstar in the entertainment industry, to the establishment of a final business empire, he is comparable to an inspirational drama. But at his peak, how crazy was he? Let's explore the back and see how this man on the top of the mountain can gain a foothold in the wind and rain.
Zhao Benshan can be said to be a typical grassroots counterattack. He was born in an ordinary rural family in Liaoning Province in 1971, lost his mother at an early age, and his father ran away from home. Fortunately, he was taken in by a blind second uncle, and under the influence of this second uncle, he came into contact with the folk art of the Northeast. It was the influence of these arts that allowed him to develop his acting talent.
At the end of the 1980s, Zhao Benshan's artistic career began to take off.

During this period, he almost became the "golden signboard" of the Northeast, and he became the focus of attention both on the stage and in life.
