He is known as the "first male god on the screen" and "the most handsome boy" and "tough guy male god" in the 80s.
With unlimited scenery, he has left a strong mark in the film world.
He is the tough guy Zhou Lijing.
But fate is always tricking people, and the people who ran the dragon set for him in the past are now the old drama bones of the big red.
But he disappeared into the tide of the times, without a trace.
And it all starts with the death of his wife.

It is worth mentioning that a year later, Tang Guoqiang starred in the movie version of "Garland Under the Mountain" and also played the role of Zhao Mengsheng.

At this time, Zhou Lijing had already changed from a popular power faction to a tough guy with a strong limelight.
Idol plus acting skills, the drama road is extremely broad, Zhou Lijing can be said to have reached the peak of his career.
But all this is gradually dissipated because of the murder of his beloved wife and the painful trauma of the family.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">02</h1>
Zhou Lijing's first wife was fu Chunying, a famous dancer with impeccable temperament and talent.
The first Yingniang in "Silk Road Flower Rain" was played by Fu Chunying.
Later, in order to follow Zhou Lijing, Fu Chunying gave up her acting career.
I went to the Beijing Film Academy and became a dance teacher.
The two were introduced to each other in 1973, and Zhou Lijing was a young man who was less than 20 years old at that time.
Fu Chunying was two years younger than Zhou Lijing, and he was 17 years old that year.
One in Beijing and one in Lanzhou.
After 10 years of love run, in 1983, the two entered the palace of marriage in Lanzhou.
Soon after the marriage, there was another lovely daughter Zhou Jinjin.
One is a popular student, and the other is a pure beauty.
The two became the model of the "golden boy and jade girl" at that time, and the talented and beautiful people envied others.
Love stories are often something to be talked about.
But this originally happy family was completely torn apart in one day.
On July 6, 1994, his wife Fu Chunying was robbed at home and unfortunately killed.
At only 38 years old, Fanghua withered away.
This incident has brought great trauma to Zhou Lijing and the entire family, and it cannot be healed for a long time.
And Zhou Lijing blamed himself for not being able to protect his wife because he was filming outside at that time.
At one point, he was completely devastated by doubt and was in pain.
He later said remorsefully: "If I were at home, maybe this wouldn't have happened." ”
There is also a shadow that says: "I can't see that others can open the fruit knife."
The unfortunate death of his wife has left Zhou Lijing in a haze every day and cannot walk out.
It became an eternal pain in his heart.
Later, in "Lu Yu Has a Covenant", he said: "It is also an honor to survive that unfortunate time." ”
The occurrence of this incident also directly led to the decline of Zhou Lijing's career.
I don't want to shoot a scene, I don't want to face the public, I close myself off and gradually "disappear" away.
Losing a loved one, and having no intention of a career, it is almost a state of obscurity.
In those days, in addition to taking care of her daughter, she was alone at home mourning her dead wife.
Zhou Lijing's life fell from the sunshine to the endless darkness in an instant, becoming stagnant.
It also makes people think of him every time, full of sighs and pity.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">03</h1>
After years of shadow struggle, God began to feel sorry for this man.
He also gave him an ordinary and sincere love to redeem him.
A female soldier who adored him, Zhang Wei, appeared in his life and soothed his heart.
Zhang Wei is a kind, warm, gentle and considerate person, and her love for Zhou Lijing is engraved in her bones.
"I want to warm his life with the gentleness of a woman."
She once wrote this passage for Zhou Lijing:
"Zhou Lijing is such a person with the simplest emotions of ordinary people, and I live with him steadily and casually... I will hold hands with him and walk the ups and downs of life together, so that his hurt heart will no longer be lonely. I want to warm his life with the tenderness of a woman..."
For the daughter Jin Jin, who lost her mother, Zhou Lijing took good care of her and did her best to protect her.
And the daughter also slowly accepted Zhang Wei and called her "mother".
The once broken family has regained a warm dawn.
After marriage, the two have always been loving and low-key.
Zhou Lijing has suffered from the pain of bereavement, and he knows how to cherish this marriage even more, and he loves his wife Zhang Wei doubly.
Zhang Wei, more than a good wife and mother, is devoted to running the whole family.
He also began to gradually return to his career, and is now a professor in the acting department of the Beijing Film Academy.
In 2014, when the Beijing Film Academy selected the most popular teachers, Zhou Lijing ranked first.
Although he has long lost the fame and glory of that year, his comfortable life has given him light and hope.
Peace and tranquility and the company of his family became everything to him.
For him, it was not another kind of success.
However, that scar was forever buried in his heart.
He said: "The greatest happiness in life is to live, and the greatest misfortune is the murder of his wife."
Now Zhou Lijing is 66 years old and old.
His life has been brilliant, there have been misfortunes, and he has been born again after despair and plainness.
Just like that, life is like a play, and a play is like life.
And those classic roles that were once there will always remain in the hearts of countless people, with ripples in their hearts.
Because, he is really a good actor who should not be forgotten.
