The famous actor Xu Min plays the male protagonist "Gu Minzhang" in the play, his deep and sophisticated acting skills, the charm of the hands and feet, and the perfect interpretation of what is called "old drama bone".

Xu Min had a failed marriage, and his ex-wife was Zhang Jinling, one of the "Three Flowers of the Northern Shadow", and the two had a son. After the divorce, Zhang Jinling took her son to reorganize the family and had a happy marriage. And what is Xu Min's living situation after divorce?

Stills from Xu Min's "Kinship"
Xu Min was born in Shanxi in 1947 and was admitted to the drama performance class of the Beijing Art School at the age of 17. After graduating from art school, Xu Min was assigned to the Hebei Chengde Repertory Theatre as an actor. In 1976, with the special approval of the Ministry of Culture, Xu Min was transferred to the Beijing Film Studio.
At that time, there were very few male actors in the North Film Studio, and Xu Min often had dramas. But he has starred in three major dramas such as "Mountain Flower" and "Hope" in succession, which have not been released for various reasons. Later, everyone said, why did Xu Min play the play of male number one not be broadcast? Xu Min was very depressed at one point.
Career is not going well, love to make up. In 1978, Xu Min married Zhang Jinling. At that time, Zhang Jinling was also an actor in the North Film Studio, a big hit, and Liu Xiaoqing and Li Xiuming were called "the three flowers of the North Shadow".

After marriage, the two ushered in the golden age of their careers. Xu Min became one of the most popular male stars in the 1980s by starring in films such as "405 Murder", "The Sea is Calling", "Breaking the Fog", "Children of Bashan", and "The General's Choice". In particular, the male protagonist "Qian Kai" he played in "405 Murder" fascinated a large female audience.
The north film studio only invested 290,000 yuan, and the result was over 100 million yuan at the box office, becoming the first film in China to exceed 100 million yuan at the box office. Xu Min and other main creative personnel each received a reward of 14 yuan.
At that time, the information was not developed, and many female viewers thought that Xu Min was single, and they wrote him courtship letters, and the courtship letters he received were to be packed in sacks.
Xu Min and Zhang Jinling
There are also some female audiences who come from Hainan and Zhejiang to wait for Xu Min at the door of the North Film Studio, and they do not see him and do not leave. Xu Min took Zhang Jinling to invite the other party to a meal, and then sent them away. When separated, female fans cried bitterly.
Compared with Xu Min, Zhang Jinling's career is more brilliant. At that time, she became popular because she starred in films such as "Look at This Family", "Huang Yinggu", "Xu Mao and His Daughters" and so on.
Such a star couple with outstanding appearance and career should be very happy in the imagination of outsiders. However, the real situation is not the case, Xu Min is introverted, not good at words, and Zhang Jinling's personality is quite different.
Zhang Jinling
Coupled with the perennial filming gathering, the relationship between the two has quietly cracked. In 1984, Zhang Jinling gave birth to her son Xu Yibei. The hardships of raising their son deepened the contradiction between the two.
In 1988, Xu Min and Zhang Jinling ended their 10-year marriage, and their son lived with Zhang Jinling. To make matters worse, not long after Xu Min's divorce, his father unfortunately died of illness. Under the double blow, Xu Min fell into pain. At that time, he was very disappointed in his emotions and decided to be alone until he was old.

After Zhang Jinling divorced, she and Zhang were starting a family in Beijing. The remarriage of his ex-wife brought Xu Min a heart disease, and he was worried that his son would be wronged in the remarried family. However, Zhang is a kind and big-hearted man, because he loves Zhang Jinling, he regards Xu Yi as his own. Xu Min's heart was solid, and he was full of gratitude to Zhang Zheng in his heart.
In 1997, when Xu Yibei was 13 years old, Zhang Jinling sent him to Toronto, Canada to study. As a biological father, Xu Min has to bear most of the cost of her son's study abroad.

His father left early, Xu Min had to support his mother, he had to help his brothers and sisters, and now that his son was studying abroad, he was under tremendous financial pressure. In those years, although Xu Min starred in film and television dramas such as "Yongzheng Dynasty", "Li Wei as an Official", "Loyalty", "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang", etc., because he was not an absolute male number one, coupled with low remuneration, he was a poor star.
In 2000, when filming "Li Wei as an Official", Xu Min met the actress Li Xiaoyan. A native of Beijing, 15 years younger than Xu Min, she has had emotional setbacks.
After graduating from high school, Li Xiaoyan was assigned to work as a sheet metal worker in an automobile repair shop, and was later admitted to the China Coal Mine Literary and Labor Corps. The "Silk Road Flower Rain" led by her, accompanied by the troupe to Canada, the United States and other countries to perform, caused a huge sensation, and some of them ended more than a dozen times.
Li Xiaoyan
With the increase of age, Li Xiaoyan turned to the film and television circle and was transferred from the Coal Mine Literary troupe song and dance troupe to the drama troupe. Although she is middle-aged, Li Xiaoyan has an elegant temperament and a graceful figure, which is no different from a young girl from behind.
During the filming, Xu Min's long-sleeping love was ignited by Li Xiaoyan. In the following days, Xu Min chased Li Xiaoyan like a little boy with pure love. Li Xiaoyan returned from a foreign performance, and he went to the airport with flowers to greet him.
Li Xiaoyan rehearsed the show in the group, and he went to see her at noon with dumplings and small cold dishes. Li Xiaoyan affectionately called him "Brother Minzi". The more people there are, the more enthusiastic Xu Min is to Li Xiaoyan, as if to show outsiders that the two are in love.
In the spring of 2003, Xu Min and Li Xiaoyan married naked in Beijing. At that time, Xu Min had no house, no car and no savings, and Li Xiaoyan did not abandon it and was willing to marry naked, which is rare among actresses.
Zhang Jinling with her son
At this time, his son Xu Yibei was an adult, and Xu Min told his son the news of remarriage on the phone. The son said, "Dad, as long as you are happy, I support you." The son grew up and matured, and Xu Min wept with relief.

After marriage, Xu Min and Li Xiaoyan implemented the AA system, and the personal income was managed by each other, and they did not inquire about each other. The family's common expenses were borne by Xu Min, but Li Xiaoyan also often came up with money to subsidize the family and buy clothes and shoes for her husband. As a result, the couple never had a conflict over economic problems.
Xu Min is introverted, Li Xiaoyan is cheerful and humorous, the two personalities just complement each other, and life after marriage has been very harmonious.

After remarrying, Xu Min ushered in the second peak of her career. For more than ten years, he has starred in many popular dramas such as "Yang Naiwu and the Little Cabbage", "Snow is Burning", "Wolf Smoke Beiping", "I Am Legend" and so on.
However, Xu Min also suffered a lot for this, and even almost lost his life. During the filming of "The Secret History of Yang Guifei", he wore a prison uniform, sat in a cage, and was pulled by a carriage to parade the streets.
At that time, the horse was not a special horse for Hengdian filming, and as soon as the director of this horse shouted, it would go, and the horse that was accustomed to seeing the big scene was never alarmed. And Xu Min's horse is doing farm work in Shanxi, and he has never seen this kind of filming scene, and he is frightened as soon as there are many people. As a result, after only walking more than ten meters, the horse ran in fright. The Taiwanese photographer and assistant flew out, and Xu Min was carried away by the carriage.
He struggled to push open the cage and jumped out, otherwise the carriage would crash into the stone, and the consequences would be unimaginable. Xu Min's forehead hit the ground, blood blindfolded his eyes, and several actresses cried loudly, thinking that Xu Min was dead.
The staff drove more than 60 kilometers of mountain roads to send Xu Min to Yuncheng for treatment. The injury improved slightly, and Xu Min pulled out the needle and returned to the crew to shoot.
In 2012, Xu Min filmed in Mudanjiang, taking a 4-hour bus to Harbin, then changing planes to Nanjing, and then taking a 4-hour bus to Yancheng. I went to bed at 3 a.m. and got up at 6 o'clock to shoot a scene. Over sixty years old and still so desperate, Xu Min just doesn't want to miss a good play, always wants to leave something on the screen.
However, Xu Min always had regrets, because of the bad luck of the play, he filmed a lot of male number one scenes, but for various reasons, it was not broadcast, nor did he win any awards. Sometimes when he goes to an awards ceremony and sees others winning awards, he is always very disappointed.
After remarrying, Xu Min and Li Xiaoyan lived a very happy life and did not worry about drama. His son Xu Yibei is also filial piety, but Xu Min's career has never reached the ideal height.
Xu Min and Li Xiaoyan
Many people evaluate his acting skills as not inferior to Chen Daoming, but he has never been a big hit. The media positioned him as an actor, not a star.
Throughout his life course, after leaving Zhang Jinling, Xu Min's life has happiness and loss, and he has never reached his most ideal and satisfactory state. Perhaps this is life, which gives people hope and loss, leading people to constantly chase their dreams!
