Mention Li Xuejian, everyone's mind will can't help but float up his role of Song Jiang, Jiao Yulu, Qin Shi Huang and so on.
In the 40 years of filming, he has won 33 film emperors and won awards such as the Hundred Flowers Award, the Golden Rooster Award, and the Golden Horse Award.
However, this Chinese "most expensive" actor is so poor that people want to cry, fighting cancer for more than ten years, once because they were too expensive to give up treatment.
The hardships on the road to fame, the painful and torturous process, if it were not for her encouragement in life, perhaps there would be no "old drama bones" today.
Now Xiaobian takes you to understand the suffering process of Li Xuejian's life.
Li Xuejian was born in 1954 to a poor family in Juye County, Heze City, Shandong Province.
From a young age, he was weak and sickly, and it snowed heavily outside when he was born, his parents gave him "Li Xuejian" and hoped that he would grow up healthy and healthy.
At the age of 16, he entered the factory to work, where his body also became strong.
At the age of 19, he joined the army, became an actor in the propaganda team there, and after resuming the college entrance examination, he was admitted to the Air Politics Cultural and Labor Corps.
Li Xuejian has just entered the Air Politics Literary and Labor Troupe, because he is a newcomer and his appearance is not outstanding, he has a very bitter life, and can only play some supporting roles with no words or only a few lines, and even corpses have also been played.
However, he did not give up, and he took every role seriously, and rushed to do any dirty work in the literary troupe.
In the hot summer, Li Xuejian even took out his own electric fan for the crew to use, and he was unable to sleep on the hot night.
It is also because of What Li Xuejian did that yu Haidan, a girl in the crew, noticed him.
Sometimes fate can not be stopped, in a Spring Festival cinema the two married a beautiful marriage, and can no longer be separated.
At this time, Li Xuejian worked harder, and the kung fu paid off, and in 1980, Li Xuejian won the "Plum Blossom Award", the highest award for drama, with the role of Lin Biao in the drama "918 Incident".
As the saying goes: a successful man will have a woman standing behind him.
Li Xuejian also ushered in a double harvest of career and love, and married Yu Haidan in 1983, it was also because of this woman that Li Xuejian went further on the arduous road later.
In the following years, Li Xuejian's acting career also reached an upward stage, participating in the filming of "General Steel File", "Drum Book Artist" and "Great Detective".
In 1990, he won the Best Actor Award at the 11th Golden Rooster Awards of Chinese Cinema with "Jiao Yulu".
Success is never achieved overnight, but it is accumulated bit by bit, thick and thin.
During the filming of "Jiao Yulu", Li Xuejian ate cabbage soup for half a month in a row in order to better interpret this character, and lost ten kilograms in a month.
Later, at the award ceremony, Li Xuejian said: Suffering and tiredness have made the good man Jiao Yulu suffer, and fame and profit have let a stupid boy get it.
Later, he starred in the TV series "Longing" as the good man Song Dacheng and won the Feitian Award for Best Supporting Actor and the Ninth Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor.
This "good man" Song Dacheng character is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, making Li Xuejian completely popular all over the country.
The famous Li Xuejian did not live a life of spending money, and he and his wife still lived a hard life.
Li Xuejian's acting career has developed rapidly, and his superb acting skills have also been recognized by the majority of audiences.
In 1998, he participated in the performance of the TV series "Water Margin", in which he played the role of "Song Jiang".
Many people have said that this version of Song Jiang wants to fight once he sees it, and hates it once he sees it, which also reflects Li Xuejian's superb acting skills and control of the character image from the side.
And to achieve this effect, how much effort it takes to achieve it.
Ten years of work on stage for a minute, but not just talk.
However, fate always likes to joke, and when Li Xuejian is in the middle of the day, a change quietly comes.
In 2001, when Li Xuejian was filming "China Orbit", his nose was suddenly uncomfortable and his voice was hoarse.
At first, Li Xuejian did not take it seriously, still insisted on filming, until his wife came to visit the class, at this time Li Xuejian was even difficult to swallow water, and finally was pulled to the hospital by his wife for examination, only to find that he had nasopharyngeal cancer.
This sunny thunderbolt directly hit Li Xuejian's wife's heart, and the tears couldn't stop flowing down.
However, in order not to delay the filming of the crew, Li Xuejian still insisted on shooting with illness, no matter how much his wife and director persuaded him not to listen.
Going to the hospital for chemotherapy every morning and filming in the crew in the afternoon, this dedication touched everyone in the crew.
Until he returned to Beijing after filming, all the hair on Li Xue's fitness had fallen out, and he could hardly speak.
During this period of chemotherapy, Yu Haidan slowly perked up from her initial helplessness, knowing that her husband needed support at this time.
Li Xuejian also felt overwhelmed when he learned of his illness, but looking at his determined wife, he plucked up the courage to fight the disease.
After repeated consultations, the doctor decided that conservative treatment could not be removed, and the usual chemotherapy was also the most painful time for Li Xuejian, who could not move for several hours every day when he lay there.
Every day, he also had to endure the pain of neck ulceration and vomiting, coupled with the high cost of treatment, once wanted Li Xuejian to give up treatment.
Yu Haidan stuck to her husband's side every day, and in order to supplement nutrition, he bought a lot of nutritional products for Li Xuejian every day and constantly estimated him.
At this time, Li Xuejian gained a touch from his young son.
That day, Li Xuejian received a letter from his son:
"When I had a high fever, you guarded by my side; now that you are sick, I cannot take care of you, but I will always miss, pray, and bless."
I'm confident, do you have?
Don't answer 'maybe', 'maybe', but say 'yes' to me.
There is a mother and I to accompany you on this difficult road, although the road will be difficult to walk, but don't forget, the other side of the road is the sun. “
The words of concern on his son's letter also made Li Xuejian regain his confidence.
After active treatment, the condition was finally controlled, and Li Xuejian, who could not stay idle in 2002, returned to the screen.
Although his hearing was impaired and his speech became blurred, he has always insisted on his acting path.
In the later time, he participated in the filming of film and television dramas such as "The Supreme", "The Teacher's Story", "The Past", "Tangshan Earthquake" and so on.
Later, he won the Huabiao Award for "Yang Shanzhou" and won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards in 2012 for "1942".
On March 31, 2013, he won the "Annual Lifetime Achievement Award" at the "Annual Star Ceremony of Chinese TV Dramas".
In his 40-year acting career, Li Xuejian has won the title of film emperor more than thirty times, which is a tribute to such achievements.
How much effort does an elderly person with cancer and unclear speech have to put into the same effort as a normal person? The hardships are only one that I can appreciate.
On the road to anti-cancer for decades, although the process is painful, with the encouragement of his wife to accompany his children, Li Xuejian still persevered.
There may not be a perfect life, but as long as you live, everything is beautiful.
