Have you seen the show "The Fence Woman and the Dog"? The handsome, slender, and superb dancing skills of the "Qiaogu" in it is amazing, not only can sing and dance, but also clever and eccentric, speaking pure Beijing dialect, which is endearing in and out of the play.
But her actor's real name is Liu Lili, born in a family with a profound artistic heritage in Beijing, and she was nurtured by her parents in an artistic environment since she was a child. She learned dance at a young age, and at that time she could be described as a rising star in the art troupe, with a bright future!
Give up for the dream of dancing
Liu Lili has been very smart and clever since she was a child, and with her natural artistic talent, she is comfortable learning all kinds of dances. Her parents worked hard to nurture her dancing talent, giving her private lessons in the rehearsal room almost every day, from classical to folk dances.
Liu Lili herself is also a little clever ghost, watching those artists and sisters twisting and dancing gracefully on stage, as if they have been under a spell, and they are full of the urge to go on stage.
At that time, although the conditions in the compound were simple, Liu Lili still practiced the basic skills of dance desperately. She has a lot of calluses under her feet over the years, and her knees and ankles are often sore and tight. Sometimes when she returned to the dormitory at night, she would lie on the bed and cry loudly, and she couldn't sleep in pain.
Transitioning from dance to acting
But the good times did not last long, Liu Lili was unfortunately seriously injured at the age of 17, and the ligament in her left leg was severely strained, and the doctor judged that she would not be able to continue to engage in dance work that requires energy jumping in the future. This is undoubtedly a blow to the head, which hit Liu Lili's pursuit of dance dreams.
Sometimes, she feels skeptical and wavering about her choices. Is the stage just missing me? But if you don't fix your leg injury, you will even walk with a limp in the future, which is the biggest regret.
Fortunately, Liu Lili did not give up, and with the support and encouragement of her family, she applied for the performance department of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts instead. Although it deviates from its previous dreams, it can at least stay on the stage of art.
Liu Lili spent several years quietly repairing her injuries, and at the same time, she also studied the basic skills of acting at the Academy of Arts. She doesn't talk much on weekdays, but her earnest efforts are remarkable. On one occasion, the director gave the acting students an intensive rehearsal that lasted for several months, and everyone practiced on and off stage until late into the night.
At the end of the performance, Liu Lili cried almost from beginning to end on stage, showing her extremely sad role as heartbreaking. The audience was moved by it, and some people said that she was simply "born for art".
The first taste of sweetness meets the "professional pit girl"
In 1988, Liu Lili won the honor of "Outstanding Actor" in the National Art Show for her outstanding performance, which is undoubtedly a new starting point for her artistic career. For a time, she frequently appeared in the variety shows of the army's art troupe, and won a lot of honors and applause.
At this time, the famous director Chen Yutian took a fancy to Liu Lili's extraordinary talent and invited her to join the crew and starred in "The Fence Woman and the Dog", which later received a huge response.
In this drama, Liu Lili played the role of a quirky and good singing and dancing "Qiaogu", which not only won the love of the audience, but also won her the nickname of "professional pit girl" - because she is so good at seducting!
In the next few years, Liu Lili starred in the sequels of the show, "The Woman and the Well" and "The Ancient Boat Woman and the Net", which almost became an instant hit and became a well-known "Qiaogu".
However, Liu Lili has never been tempted by the wine and fame after becoming famous. She still maintains a low-key, down-to-earth and hard-working style, devoting herself to every work and living for the role. This kind of professional dedication is also contagious to her fellow actors.
United States abandoned his family and children for love
However, just when her career was booming, Liu Lili's private life fell into a trough. In the early 80s of the last century, due to long-term travel, Liu Lili and her Beijing husband were estranged and finally chose to separate.
Liu Lili was very depressed after the breakup, because she felt that she had failed her original marriage. But soon, God gave her another chance, and a wealthy IT businessman working in the United States took a fancy to her talent and beauty and took the initiative to pursue her.
After a lot of love, the two married in 1993 and gave birth to a lovely daughter in United States the following year. In order to give her daughter a complete family, Liu Lili once gave up her acting career in China and devoted herself to being a housewife.
After returning to China, his career started again
It wasn't until her daughter Julia went to elementary school that Liu Lili returned to China and started her acting career. Although she was over 35 years old at the time and could be described as an "elderly female artist" in the film and television industry, she still conquered countless audiences and directors with her excellent acting skills.
Soon, Liu Lili starred in a series of family dramas one after another, and was also affectionately called "mother professional" by the audience. The mother figures she plays in these dramas are vivid and varied, giving people a warm and intimate feeling.
However, Liu Lili was also in a dilemma for her career and family. When her daughter Julia was growing up, she did lack the company of a mother, which brought some trauma to her heart. Later, Julia was admitted to Brown University, a prestigious school in the United States, and Liu Lili was deeply gratified by this, but she was also a little guilty that the child lacked maternal love.
Mom professional household - she is also a good mother outside the play
Today, her daughter is 29 years old and working hard in United States, and Liu Lili is 65 years old. But at this stage, she had a problem: her daughter had no object for a long time and couldn't see the next step in her life.
As a mother, Liu Lili is very anxious and troubled by this. Once upon a time, she was the young girl who persistently pursued a career in art, but now she is heartbroken by her daughter's lifelong events.
Some people say that Liu Lili's anxiety in her later years is completely unreasonable, and the children's marriage should be decided by themselves, so why should parents be so overworked?
But Liu Lili was clearly unable to heed these suggestions. According to her concept, her daughter is 29 years old, and if she continues to rub it off, she will really "pass the door". But the daughter didn't care about this matter, and only cared about work all day long, and she didn't see any intention of getting married at all.
Looking at her daughter's silent and independent figure, Liu Lili was both proud of her and guilty. She is worried that her daughter will follow in her footsteps, and she will miss love when her career is successful. But as a "professional pit girl", in the face of her daughter's lifelong events, she didn't even have the courage to speak.
This ambivalence has been tormenting Liu Lili. Every time she sees someone else's daughter getting married and having children, she secretly sighs whether her daughter is doomed to the fate of a lonely family? Obviously he has a good education, why is he still planted on this?
Now, 65-year-old Liu Lili is about to return to dust and dust, and her biggest regret and concern is her daughter's lifelong affair. She hopes that before she dies, she can at least see her own flesh and blood give her an explanation, so that she can let go of this big burden in her heart.
I don't know if our "Qiaogu" still has the ability to "hook people", can we resolve this last trouble? Let's wait and see!
