Guo Baochang's "The Gate of the Big Mansion" is one of the few conscience dramas, which has been more than 20 years in the past, and now it is still breathtaking to watch.
Remember that dog-hugging Xiangxiu?
Later, the "Xiangxiu" in "Big House Gate 2" was replaced by Jiang Shan, although Jiang Shan was beautiful and popular, but many viewers did not buy it, or missed the original version of "Xiangxiu".
People who have watched "The Gate of the Big House" know that although Li Xiangxiu appeared relatively late, he was the biggest highlight of the later stage and one of the most classic characters in this drama.
Xie Lan, the actor, played the spicy, intelligent and kind "XiangXiu" with aura, which was deeply rooted in people's hearts!
Xie Lan also became famous for this drama, but later she gradually disappeared from the public eye, and when she reappeared, she was a middle-aged woman who was more than half a hundred years old, and she was sentenced to two people before.
What has she experienced over the years?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">1</h1>
Xie Lan was born in 1973 in a special family in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, to deaf and mute parents.
Because his parents were deaf and mute due to acquired causes, Sheran was not affected.
Due to the poor economic conditions of the family, her parents sent Xie Lan to learn gymnastics at the age of 8 in order to let Herland have a skill.
But at the age of 11, he had to quit the gymnastics team due to injury.
Xie Lan was lively and active, could sing and dance, and he had the idea of learning to act.
Parents are more open-minded, and as long as Xie Lan likes it, they will fully support it.
In 1990, at the age of 17, Xie Lan was admitted to the acting department of the Beijing Film Academy with excellent results, and became classmates with Huang Lei, Jiang Wu, Li Lin, Wang Jinsong and others.
In order to reduce the financial burden on his parents, as soon as he entered college, Xie Lan began to look for opportunities to work part-time.
Because of her good looks and body shape, in the second month of college, she successively found part-time jobs to shoot advertisements, one hundred, two hundred, and sometimes five hundred.
This made Xie Lan very happy, and after that, she never had to live on the living expenses given by her parents, and not only that, she also sent the extra money she earned to her parents.
She knows that children without umbrellas must run hard.
Kung Fu pays off, due to outstanding professional achievements, in his junior year, Xie Lan was discovered by the director and participated in the movie "Midnight Song" starring Zhang Guorong and Wu Qianlian.
Also starring in the movie were classmate Huang Lei, and Liu Lin, who was a junior student, and Later played the "Big Lady" famous.
Although Xie Lan did not play much, she was praised by Zhang Guorong, praising her beauty and good acting skills, and she could not see that she was acting for the first time.
Xie Lan emerged in the show business circle, and since then the drama has continued. In the same year, he also participated in the movies "Court Cockfighting" and "ShowGirl".
After graduating from university, Xie Lan was assigned to work at the National Theatre of China.
Xie Lan did not want to be popular, she has always had a wish since she was a child, to work hard to save money, one day to cure the "disability" of her parents.
She worked hard to make a scene, except for sending a part to her parents, the rest was saved.
After graduation, she has filmed TV series "Citizen of the Century", "Camel Road", "Red Apricot Out of the Wall", "Little Woman", and all of them are heroines.
But when she saved some money and brought her parents to Beijing University Hospital, she was told that because decades had passed, her chances of being cured were almost zero.
Sheran was heartbroken, but there was nothing else she could do.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">2</h1>
Because he has been busy filming, Xie Lan's emotional life is almost blank.
Until 1999, during the filming of "Yellow Land and Blue Land", he met the actor Shi Xiaohong of the same crew, and the two played brothers and sisters in the play.
Shi Xiaohong was born in Shaanxi in 1962, 11 years older than Xie Lan.
He has played general Yuan Unyielding in "Marrying the Wrong Flower Car to Lang", and has cooperated with Jin Dong and Jiang Shan to star in Zhao Dalong in "Sad Mother and Child", Xue Rengui in "Xue Dingshan" and so on.
When Shi Xiaohong and Xie Lan were in the crew, every time after filming, other people were twittering, especially noisy, only Xie Lan was very quiet and reading there.
Shi Xiaohong gradually developed a different kind of good feeling for Xie Lan.
After filming, the actors all left separately.
Shi Xiaohong, who was a tough man on the outside, could not summon up the courage to confess, and could only bury it in his heart.
But he always thought of Xie Lan in his heart, and he suffered for several months until a sudden car accident gave him courage.
Shi Xiaohong, who was difficult to die, drank eight or two liquors, and called Xie Lan with the strength of wine: "Life is too short, you marry me, I will be good to you!" ”
When the two were in love, in order to accompany Xie Lan, Shi Xiaohong pushed off several of her own big plays and followed Xie Lan's crew to take care of her life.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">3</h1>
In 2000, 27-year-old Xie Lan and 38-year-old Shi Xiaohong got married.
In the same year, Xie Lan starred in the movie "Through the Harsh Winter", which won the 7th China Film Huabiao Award for Outstanding Actress.
Her fame in the circle also began to grow.
In 2001, Sheran was invited to join the crew of "The Gate of the Mansion".
Here, he met the discerning nobleman, the director Guo Baochang, and his fate took an earth-shaking turn.
After arriving at "The Gate of the Big House", Xie Lan saw that there was a role of "Yang Jiuhong" that was vacant, and he wanted to play "Yang Jiuhong".
When she met the director Guo Baochang and was ready to say this, Guo Baochang's eyes immediately lit up as soon as he saw Xie Lan, and before she could say it, he decided on the spot: "You come to play the 'Xiang show'!" You are more suitable, no less than Yang Jiuhong! ”
Xie Lan's pretty appearance and that aura put the "Dog Holding Girl Xiang Show" into a colorful performance.
The filming process is also quite hard, there is a scene that is filmed in the hot summer, but in the winter scene, the actors have to wear cotton clothes.
38 degrees outside the house, there are still lights inside the house, there are 42 degrees. Xie Lange had no choice but to wear a cotton jacket, and she recalled in the interview that Chen Baoguo fainted and vomited on the spot after filming.
Xie Lan was also fortunate to play this role, becoming famous in one fell swoop, and being recognized by the national audience.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">4</h1>
After becoming famous, Xie Lan was even busier, and Shi Xiaohong often pushed off his other roles in order to share a crew with his wife.
As long as the two do not shoot, they will cook together at home and never go out to socialize.
In order to communicate smoothly with her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Shi Xiaohong also went to learn sign language.
When Xie Lan's parents were sick and needed to be taken care of, Shi Xiaohong was willing to give up his career to take care of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, cook for them, and accompany them to the hospital.
Xie Lan's parents had a big birthday, Xie Lan could not go back in the crew, Shi Xiaohong filled a cart of gifts, and went back to help entertain guests.
With a strong backing, Xie Lan can shoot dramas more at ease, starring in one good work after another, and also won the TV Golden Eagle Award and the Rural TV Art Festival with the TV series "Snow White Blood Red" and "Ancient Village Woman".
Because of his special family and his reluctance to give up his career, Xie Lan originally planned not to have children.
After she first told her husband what she thought, Shi Xiaohong respected her wishes and never put pressure on her for 12 years after marriage.
Xie Lan knew in her heart that her husband liked children very much, and seeing that her husband had given so much for herself, she decided to give him a child.
In 2012, at the age of 39, Xie Lan gave birth to a son by caesarean section at an advanced age, and this year Shi Xiaohong was 50 years old, and he was excited when he was old and had children.
After the birth of the child, Shi Xiaohong said that if Xie Lan wanted to go out to shoot a movie, she was willing to be a "grandfather" at home.
But after having a child, Xie Lan, like a changed person, she found herself more and more inseparable from the child. She even faded out of the entertainment circle for the sake of her children, giving up her career.
It wasn't until her son was 6 years old that she began to occasionally participate in some variety shows and make cameo appearances in some film and television roles.
After Xie Lan faded out of the entertainment circle, Shi Xiaohong went out to shoot a drama and took on the burden of supporting his family.
Husband and wife, now married for 21 years, there is no scandal in the entertainment industry, and the love is as good as ever, which can be called a model couple in the entertainment industry.

In 2021, the 48-year-old Xie Lan starred in the TV series "8090".
A neat short hair, although it is no longer the beautiful and lovely little girl who was very spirited, but it is already quite good to have such a good state in the past half a hundred years.
The entertainment industry is changing, updating and iteration, and Xie Lan's acting career after the comeback can never return to the past.
But Xie Lan does not regret it, compared to the regret of her career, she is more afraid of missing the regret of accompanying her children to grow!
She is a good actress, a good daughter, a good wife, a good mother! Looking forward to more of her works and praising her!
