"I used to stand in front of the barricade and watch the stars shine
The twinkling starlight was like Mom's eyes
It makes me feel remorseful
Iron doors, iron windows, iron chains
With my hand on the iron window I looked out
What a wonderful life outside."
A song "Tears in the Iron Window" makes Chi Zhiqiang stand at the peak, how many people know Chi Zhiqiang because of this song?
It is also because of this song that Chi Zhiqiang won the success of "The King of Prison Songs".
Since the age of 15, Chi Zhiqiang has already made his debut, but he did not expect to go to prison at the age of 25.
From an overnight hit to a bell in prison, what did Chi Zhiqiang experience?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">01</h1>
Chi Zhiqiang was born in 1958 in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province.
Since childhood, Chi Zhiqiang is the most obedient one in the family, and his grades are also very good.
In the class, Chi Zhiqiang is always the one at the top, and the literary atmosphere is also very strong.
From time to time, Chi Zhiqiang performed several programs in the class, so he also became the backbone of the class.
In 1972, at the age of 14, Chi Zhiqiang graduated from school.
It was at that time that Changchun Film Studio was recruiting actors.
Chi Zhiqiang, who has a strong literary atmosphere since he was a child, was immediately recommended by his teacher.
The teacher called him to his office and told him that Changchun Film Studio recruited actors, and that you were the backbone of literature and art in the class, and that you would definitely be able to get by.
With the encouragement of the teacher, Chi Zhiqiang signed up with the attitude of trying it out.
Chi Zhiqiang, who has never been exposed to acting, is also dazed about acting, and even if he goes in, he doesn't know what to do next.
But Chi Zhiqiang still went.
Chi Zhiqiang, who has a good appearance, went to the film studio for an interview and was directly admitted.
Chi Zhiqiang did not expect to be admitted so easily.
After entering the film studio, the studio arranged for Chi Zhiqiang to enter the factory and began to learn acting.
The teacher performed on the stage, and Chi Zhiqiang watched seriously offstage.
In 1973, Chi Zhiqiang, who had only one year of training, was assigned to play the first play in his life.
Because of his excellent performance, the factory arranged for him to star in the movie "Sunny Days".
Since then, Chi Zhiqiang has officially stepped into the show business circle.
After all, I have only been studying for a year, and I certainly can't afford much of a splash, but for newcomers, it is a rare opportunity.
The following year, Chi Zhiqiang was arranged by the factory to participate in the film "Entrepreneurship" with the theme of reflecting the Battle of Daqing Petroleum.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">02</h1>
In 1977, Chi Zhiqiang starred in "The Reef" again, filmed several movies, and also made Chi Zhiqiang start to have some fame.
In the same year, he shot the most important movie in his life, "The Little Characters".
In the past, Chi Zhiqiang was a supporting role, and this time he became the protagonist.
This film tells the story of Xiao Ge, Xiao Qing and several other young people who actively contribute to the "four modernizations" and establish true love in their ordinary posts.
Chi Zhiqiang plays Xiao Huang, a passive, backward, grumbling, and frizzy bus conductor.
In 1980, three years after the film was broadcast, "Little Characters" won the Ministry of Culture's Outstanding Film Award.
Chi Zhiqiang was unexpectedly on fire.
Chi Zhiqiang was invited by the state to attend the award ceremony.
Together with 11 young actors such as Liu Xiaoqing, Tang Guoqiang, Chen Chong and Pan Hong, they took the stage to receive the award.
11 Won the "Ministry of Culture Outstanding Young Actor Creation Award" for young actors.
He was praised by central leaders Deng Yingchao, Wang Zhen and others.
At this time, Chi Zhiqiang became an idol of all the attention and gained a batch of fans.
Friends and relatives in the countryside heard the news and also rushed to congratulate Chi Zhiqiang, who exploded and made him usher in batches of resources.
Various films are coming.
In 1983, Chi Zhiqiang has starred in many movies such as "Gu This Lost", "Hidden Shadow", "Xizhao Street", "The Last Eight People" and so on, and all of them have starred.
In the same year, he also dubbed the Japanese film "Human Witness".
But Chi Zhiqiang, who had just become popular, was imprisoned.
At that time, at the award ceremony, Chi Zhiqiang met Liu Xiaoqing, and the two became very good friends because of this opportunity.
Just at this time, Liu Xiaoqing performed in Nanjing, and by the way, he also brought a few friends, when several people wanted to go out to play, but there were more people, there was no car, and he wanted to find a car to facilitate play.
But at this time, there were no acquaintances and friends in Nanjing, Liu Xiaoqing just thought of Chi Zhiqiang, and Chi Zhiqiang at this time happened to be filming in Nanjing, so Liu Xiaoqing found him.
Told him about borrowing a car, Chi Zhiqiang listened to it and immediately agreed.
After agreeing, I found that I didn't have a car at all, so what to do.
The answer is promised to others, and you can't always regret it, right?
At this time, a rich woman and sister heard about this matter and quickly sent a car, and Chi Zhiqiang saw the situation and quickly thanked him.
But Chi Zhiqiang did not expect that he would go to prison for this incident.
When the matter was over, the rich woman's eldest sister invited Chi Zhiqiang to her house as a guest.
After all, I have helped myself, and I can't refuse, right? Moreover, this big sister didn't seem to want anything bad, and she agreed.
After Chi Zhiqiang had dinner with this rich sister, the rich woman proposed that it was better to dance, right?
Chi Zhiqiang didn't think much about it and agreed.
At this time, music was played in the house, and as the music played, the two slowly hugged each other.
The two jumped and jumped, their bodies closer together.
Because it is a "veneer dance", the distance must also be closer.
But Chi Zhiqiang went in because of the dancing incident.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">03</h1>
At that time, the country's ideology was relatively feudal, and men and women were not allowed to get close to each other, and if they were discovered, they would be sentenced to prison for "hooliganism".
At that time, "hooliganism" was one of the most important criminal laws in the country.
Later, in order to prevent more people from committing the crime of "hooliganism", the state also deliberately increased the sentence for the crime of "hooliganism".
To sum it up in one sentence, "Love that does not have the purpose of marriage is a hooligan".
Obviously, Chi Zhiqiang at that time did not realize this.
After dancing with the rich woman's eldest sister, Chi Zhiqiang went back.
The rich woman's eldest sister also did not make a fuss for a long time.
Chi Zhiqiang also returned to a normal life, filming daily, and then drinking a small drink or two with friends, chatting, and playing cards.
One day, Chi Zhiqiang finished filming as usual and sat in the room with friends to play cards.
I was happily hitting when I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside.
Chi Zhiqiang asked, "Who?"
But the other party did not answer.
Chi Zhiqiang then opened the door to see who was knocking on the door.
As soon as the door opened, there was a row of policemen standing outside.
The policeman said, "You are Chi Zhiqiang, right?" Please come with us. ”
Chi Zhiqiang looked confused and did not know what was happening.
So I asked the police, "What happened?" What's wrong with me? ”
The policeman angrily said to Chi Zhiqiang, "What else is wrong?" A big star actually committed the crime of "hooliganism". ”
"Hooliganism"? Chi Zhiqiang thought about it and thought that he had not been close to other women?
If you think about it, the only one is the rich woman's big sister.
In 1983, Chi Zhiqiang was formally arrested and imprisoned on suspicion of "hooliganism."
That year, Chi Zhiqiang was only 25 years old, and he did not expect that his future would be broken.
After being imprisoned, Chi Zhiqiang was boycotted by the people of the whole country, and some people even said: "Simply kill Chi Zhiqiang." ”
In education, Chi Zhiqiang is always the focus.
"Hey, isn't that a big star? How did it come in? ”
Everywhere he went, Chi Zhiqiang could hear all kinds of sarcastic words coming into his ears.
Since the sentence is 4 years, Chi Zhiqiang feels that this day is far away, so he thinks of suicide, and then he leaves, but he thinks of his parents, what if he leaves his parents?
Parents are not allowed to cry into tears?
Thinking of this, Chi Zhiqiang dispelled the idea of suicide.
But 4 years is too long for him, even if he goes out, the outside business has long become a thing.
In order to be able to go out as soon as possible, Chi Zhiqiang thought of pretending to be crazy.
At the beginning of pretending to be crazy, the police felt that there was nothing abnormal, after all, there were many people who used this trick to try to fool through the pass.
With more time, more and more police officers have come, and they have no intention of releasing Chi Zhiqiang.
After insisting on it for a while, Chi Zhiqiang finally couldn't hold on and gave up pretending to be crazy, and this method didn't work at all.
The only way to get out as soon as possible is to reform well, or you can only wait until the end of your 4-year sentence before you can go out.
The next morning, Chi Zhiqiang was like a wash of heart, and the police on the side were stunned.
Chi Zhiqiang rushed to work, and at the end of the day, Chi Zhiqiang could not say anything if he was tired.
After two years of labor reform, Chi Zhiqiang successfully reduced his sentence by two years.
In 1986, Chi Zhiqiang was released from prison.
After being released from prison, Chi Zhiqiang found that the current world is really as he thought, and things are not people.
The first thing Chi Zhiqiang did after he got out of prison was to go home to see his parents.
Because he knew that his parents must be worried about him to death.
Just after walking to the village gate, a neighbor saw Chi Zhiqiang returning, and scolded Chi Zhiqiang: "Isn't this a big star?" How did you become a QJ offender? Is it a shame to lose? ”
In the face of these gossip, Chi Zhiqiang did not care, and now he just wanted to hurry home to see his parents.
His parents were white-headed one night, and Chi Zhiqiang saw this scene, and his tears couldn't stop staying.
Just released from prison, Chi Zhiqiang could not find a serious job anywhere, and could only work as a miscellaneous job and earn some change to subsidize his family.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">04</h1>
In 1987, Chi Zhiqiang returned to Changchun Film Studio.
At this time, Chi Zhiqiang returned to the show business circle and starred in "Second Class Inspector and Che Ma Fu".
While in prison, Chi Zhiqiang created "Tears in the Iron Window" when he was idle.
When I worked at the Changchun Film Studio, I would hum two sentences when I was fine.
A colleague came over to Chi Zhiqiang and said, "The singing is OKAY, why don't you sing?" ”
Chi Zhiqiang listened, this is a good idea.
So I started recording songs, but the results of recording several times were not satisfactory.
Just at this time, the record company called Zhai Huimin over to sing "Tears of the Iron Window", and Chi Zhiqiang was only responsible for reading the narration before the song.
As soon as "Tears in the Iron Window" was released, it quickly became popular throughout the country, and many people would sing this song.
Chi Zhiqiang once again exploded.
At this time, he had a group of fans behind him who liked him.
But it didn't take long for someone to expose the singers of "Tears in the Iron Window".
The singer is not Chi Zhiqiang, but Zhai Huimin.
Chi Zhiqiang just read the previous narration.
The reputation that had just been accumulated plummeted again and again.
All kinds of abusive words once again entered Chi Zhiqiang's ears.
Dead nature does not change, dogs can not change eating.
Later, Chi Zhiqiang threw himself into his acting career.
In 2003, he starred in "Master Luban".
In 2004, he starred in "Dignity".
Later, he starred in many film and television works such as "Poor Children and Rich Children", "At the Foot of LuoShan", "Love You for Seven and a Half Days", "Yingshan Hong" and so on.
Today, he is already married and has children.
His wife is Chi Daiying, and the two met in 1988.
For Chi Zhiqiang's past, Chi Daiying did not care, she only thought about Chi Zhiqiang now.
In 1988, the two entered the palace of marriage.
It didn't take long for my son to be born.
A family of three lives a sweet life.
Now Chi Zhiqiang has also settled in a short video platform and opened an account to chat with fans.
After experiencing the ups and downs of life, Chi Zhiqiang finally found his own happiness.
Sometimes love doesn't have to be vigorous, plain is true.
