The reason why "Parental Love" can be called a classic TV series is inseparable from its grounded theme and warm main axis. Taking the perspective of children as the starting point, through the ups and downs of the parents' lives, love and hate entanglements, it tells the life of three generations.
When Liu Jing wrote "Parental Love", there were not many descriptions of Anjie's 5 children growing up, but when director Kong Sheng read the original book, he decided to polish all the characters in the book.
This includes not only protagonists such as Anjie, Dehua and Jiang Defu, but also small supporting roles such as An Xin, Ge Meixia, Enron, Jiang Changyi, and Bai Hongmei.
It is worth mentioning that there is no absolute good guy in this show, and there is no absolute bad guy.
Director Kong Sheng skillfully uses the form of eloquence to present the life of fireworks. Without sparing a single small detail, every shot is precious. If the number of people is not enough, can you still make it on the spot?
"Parental Love": Small roles come first, the husband is the director, and the son is "Jiang Changyi".

In "Parental Love", there are not only old actors such as Mei Ting and Guo Tao, in fact, even inconspicuous small supporting roles have a lot to offer. For example, director Kong Sheng made a cameo appearance in the play as a photographer who took a family portrait of Anjie Dehua.
Among these humble small supporting roles, there are directors, field notes, villagers, etc., whether they are engaged in the film and television industry or not, they all interpret the characters beautifully.
Among them, I have to mention a small supporting role, she has less than 5 lines in the whole play, not even a frontal shot, only a close-up of the side. But it looks familiar.
This role is the female nurse chief of the health station, who was sent to the health center by Anjie to bandage after Jiang Weiguo was injured, and this extra is actually the wife of the executive director of "Parental Love" and the mother of the actor who plays Jiang Changyi in the play.
Her appearance in "Parental Love" was purely accidental, originally came to visit the class, but because the extras for this scene were not in place, the director let her take the place, and the next family of three acted in the same play.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" > a family of three</h1>
The actor's name is Sun Xiaohui, and she is the wife of Ge Meixia's (Liu Mintao) husband, Commissar Wang, and Jiang Changyi in the play is her son.
A family of three has appeared in "Parental Love", which is the only one. However, it is worth mentioning that this is not the only time that Wang Yongquan, Sun Xiaohui and Wang Hong have acted in a TV series together.
In 2015, the family of three also played roles in "Langya List".
Wang Yongquan played Xia Jiang in "Langya List", and Sun Xiaohui played Xia Jiang's wife: Lady Han. Because they are husband and wife in life, the rivalry between Xia Jiang and Mrs. Han in the play is more handy.
Their son Wang Hong, who plays Li Gang in the play, is one of the most important roles for Mei Changsu, and Wang Hong is well known to the audience after "Langyabang".
Not only "Parental Love" and "Langya List", in fact, this family of three has also played a role in "Big River". In particular, wang Hong's role of Shigen can be said to be the magic stroke in the play.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="19" > low-key family</h1>
Wang Yongquan entered the film and television circle in 1983 by starring in the costume drama "Water Margin", and after 1994, he turned into a director, "The Hero with White Eyebrows" and "Genghis Khan" are all film and television works in which he participated and served as an assistant director. However, when Wang Yongquan is mentioned, the most impressive characters are: Qu Xiaoxiu's father in "Ode to Joy" and Xia Jiang who does not smile in "Langya List".
Sun Xiaohui was also an actor when he was young, learning opera from a young age, so his figure and temperament were very good, but since giving birth to Wang Hong, plus Wang Yongquan lived in the crew for many years, Sun Xiaohui gave up his acting career and concentrated on going home with his children.
Their son Wang Hong is a well-known young actor, and his son has also become a director. In 2007, he starred in "Top Secret Escort" and entered the film and television circle, and has been honing in the crew since then, until the broadcast of "Parental Love" in 2014, Wang Hong left a deep impression on the audience with the role of Jiang Changyi.
Parents are acting school, but has always been very low-key, Wang Hong is not like other "star second generation", play a role to take the name of their parents, Wang Hong's steady and introverted like his father Wang Yongquan.
Isn't that what an acting family should look like? If you always rely on things other than your work to attract attention, won't you become a "traffic home"?
Wang Hong is not popular, but wang Hong's role is quite popular, even if he is a small supporting role in "Parental Love", but Jiang Changyi's name is more memorable by Anjie's 5 children, and he uses his restrained performance to interpret Jiang Changyi's thin feelings and widowhood, and quick success and quick profit.
Although there is some small fame, this family is still only an actor, not a star, which is what a good actor should look like!
Did Jiang Changyi, who Anjie hates the most in "Parental Love", leave a deep impression on you?
