In an ordinary family in Panshi City, Jilin Province, He Zhonghua opened his eyes to the dawn of the world. But as fate would have it, his parents divorced, and he had to live with his mother, which left a deep imprint of the lack of fatherly love in his young heart.
This experience allowed He Zhonghua to learn independence earlier than his peers, and it also shaped his tenacious character.
In those days when entertainment was scarce, the annual temple fair became a long-awaited event for children. However, unlike other children, He Zhonghua's eyes were not attracted by the various snacks and games, and his eyes were firmly locked on the actors singing on stage.
The elegant posture and sonorous singing voice seemed to open a door to another world, which deeply attracted the young He Zhonghua.
With his love and longing for opera, He Zhonghua was admitted to the Jilin Provincial Opera School without hesitation and began to systematically learn opera martial arts. Although his academic performance was not very good, his talent in the arts sprung up like mushrooms.
He Zhonghua, who is handsome and tall, soon became the focus of the school, and he was sought after by his classmates. However, He Zhonghua is completely different from other young people, he does not indulge in the sweetness of youth, but focuses all his energy on learning, and has no time to take care of those ignorant feelings.
This kind of focus and dedication has laid a solid foundation for his future development in the entertainment industry.
In the days of the drama school, He Zhonghua was hungry and thirsty to absorb the essence of opera, every action and every look he tried to do his best, and those hard training and unremitting efforts gradually condensed in him, forming a special temperament, which is the backbone of the "hero", and it is also the key to making him stand out in martial arts dramas in the future.
Therefore, under the influence of Chinese opera, He Zhonghua's artistic path began to sprout, and a "heroic professional" who is about to become the future is gradually growing.
After graduating, He Zhonghua joined the Jilin Provincial Quyi Troupe with his love for art and officially started his artistic career. Here, he was exposed to a wide variety of art forms, as if opening the door to a new world.
Opera, cross talk, sketches, singing and dancing, each art form excites He Zhonghua, who is hungry to learn and strive to absorb the essence of each art.
It was in the Jilin Provincial Quyi Troupe that He Zhonghua first came into contact with the actor industry. Those actors who shined on the stage deeply touched He Zhonghua's heart.
He began to dream that one day, he could become such a radiant existence, and this dream became the driving force for He Zhonghua to keep moving forward.
In 1988, He Zhonghua ushered in his turning point. His outstanding appearance and temperament made him favored by the crew of "The Legend of Kant's First Bodyguard". Although he did not have many roles in this drama, this experience undoubtedly became a "stepping stone" for him to step into the showbiz.
Standing in front of the camera, He Zhonghua was both nervous and excited, although he was not born in a professional class, but his years of experience in the opera stage gave him a unique understanding and perception of acting.
In this way, He Zhonghua slowly groped his way forward in the entertainment industry. Although the road is difficult, he always believes that as long as he perseveres, he will eventually have his own highlight moment. This kind of persistence and perseverance is an important foundation for He Zhonghua to become a "hero professional" in the future.
The year 2001 was an important turning point for He Zhonghua. In the action drama "Ma Yongzhen", his role as "Luo Zhan" won the recognition of most audiences for the first time. Standing on the set, He Zhonghua took a deep breath, he knew that this was an important opportunity for him to show his strength.
With years of accumulated experience and a deep understanding of the role, He Zhonghua vividly interpreted the role of "Luo Zhan", and this drama not only improved He Zhonghua's fame, but more importantly, it pointed out the direction for his future acting career.
However, the road to showbiz has not been smooth sailing. After He Zhonghua starred in the role of "Xie Xiaofeng" in "The Sword of the Third Young Master", he once again encountered the embarrassing situation of "the actor is not popular". This drama can be said to be the youth memory of a generation, and the audience still remembers the role of Xie Xiaofeng, but when the name He Zhonghua is mentioned, they fall into contemplation again.
This gap made He Zhonghua feel lost, but he did not give up.
In order to break through himself, He Zhonghua began to challenge different types of roles and try different styles. He has starred in modern dramas such as "Anti-Smuggling Unit" and "Fire King Kong". He puts his heart and soul into each role, striving to look his best.
Although his superb acting skills have dazzled many audiences, He Zhonghua's acting career has always been in a tepid and embarrassing situation.
When faced with difficulties, the talented actor He Zhonghua never felt frustrated. He always believes that as long as he sticks to his dreams, there will be a day when he will shine. Whenever in the dead of night, others have fallen asleep, He Zhonghua is always studying the characters repeatedly, thinking about how to better interpret each role.
His love and dedication to acting supported him through the low period of his career.
It was during this period that He Zhonghua's acting skills became more and more sophisticated. Every setback and difficulty became the nourishment for his growth. He began to understand the character more deeply, not only the superficial lines and actions, but also the inner emotions and motivations of the character.
This deep understanding of performance has laid a solid foundation for him to become a "hero professional" in the future.
He Zhonghua never gave up his dream during that period full of challenges and setbacks, and he firmly believed that as long as he continued to work hard, he would eventually wait for his own spring. This perseverance led him to grow into a true "hero" in the years that followed.
With the rise of martial arts dramas, He Zhonghua's career began to focus on Xianxia film and television dramas. He frequently appeared in major Xianxia film and television works, such as "Qingyunzhi", "Xuanyuan Sword: Han Zhiyun" and "Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost", etc., and his performance left a deep impression on the audience.
He did his best to bring out the charm of each character. However, the real turning point came in 2018. In the high-profile drama "Jiang Ye", He Zhonghua played the role of the sword master "Liu Bai". This role is not only deeply loved by many book fans, but also puts forward extremely high requirements for the strength of the actor.
He Zhonghua, who is over half a hundred years old, is both excited and apprehensive in the face of this challenge.
At the beginning of the filming of "The Wind Rises", the director had a lot of difficulties in selecting the actors for the role of "Liu Bai". It is necessary not only for the role of a doctor to have a similar image and temperament, but also for the actor to have calm acting skills, which can suppress Chen Feiyu, Yuan Bingyan and other juniors in the play.
After much deliberation, the director finally invited He Zhonghua to try on makeup at the suggestion of the producer.
When He Zhonghua put on the costume and showed the temperament of the sword saint, all the crew members were stunned. That kind of heroic aura with a hint of fierceness and majesty is simply the perfect embodiment of "Liu Bai".
He performed the line "I am invincible in the world, and I will not fight with the sky" sonorously and powerfully, showing the demeanor of a generation of sword saints.
After the broadcast of "Jiang Ye", He Zhonghua's performance won unanimous praise from the audience and book fans. Although he is not the protagonist, He Zhonghua's performance has aroused strong resonance among the audience, resulting in the first part not finishing, some viewers said that if the second part changes actors, they will abandon the drama.
For this reason, the director had to hurriedly sign the schedule after He Zhonghua.
In 2021, He Zhonghua challenged himself and played the peach blossom sword god "Deng Tai'a" in "Sword in the Snow". Interestingly, at first, He Zhonghua took over the role of the sword god "Li Chungang". However, during the audition, the director strongly recommended He Zhonghua to try the role of "Mrs. Deng".
After a try, the director immediately decided that He Zhonghua would play "Mrs. Deng".
Compared with "Liu Bai", "Deng Tai'a" played by He Zhonghua gives the character more free and easy feelings. His accurate interpretation of the role once again brought surprises to the audience, especially the classic image of riding a donkey upside down, which made this role impressive.
The audience praised his acting skills, and he was able to distinguish the two swordsman characters of "Liu Bai" and "Deng Tai'a" so accurately, showing his excellent acting skills.
It is precisely because of these two classic roles that He Zhonghua has won the praise of "heroic professional". From obscurity to widespread praise today, He Zhonghua has relied on his own strength to prove that as long as he sticks to his dreams, he will eventually have his own stage.
In this process, he not only created many unforgettable characters, but also interpreted the spirit of "hero" with his own experience.
