In the late 1960s and early 1970s, television sets were not yet widespread, and Li Qiang often climbed over the wall to watch TV in a factory near his home. At that time, several films were played over and over on TV, and some Li Qiang watched it more than ten times in a row.

At that time, Li Qiang's greatest wish was to become a soldier, and during high school, he took the special forces examination, but he was not admitted. After graduating from high school, Li Qiang passed the pilot examination again, but he did not pass the physical examination and was also brushed off. Li Qiang was once very confused and did not know how to go in life.
Li Qiang's sister loves literature and art, and she was the backbone of the school's literature and art in middle school. The Beijing Dance Troupe, the Acrobatic Troupe, and the Radio Station were all willing to absorb her, but her parents prevented her from engaging in literature and art.
His literary and artistic dream was not realized, and his sister let Li Qiang realize his dream for himself. In 1979, her sister learned that the China Railway Repertory Theatre was recruiting students and strongly encouraged Li Qiang to apply for the examination. The sister also asked the teacher to tutor Li Qiang for a month, and as a result, Li Qiang was admitted.

In the troupe, after systematic training, Li Qiang's performance level has been greatly improved. However, just when Li Qiang was about to turn right, once he went out without asking for leave, almost delaying the performance in the troupe. The old regimental commander felt that Li Qiang was difficult to manage and asked him to take the initiative to leave.

After the broadcast of "Three Apprentices", Li Qiang took over the film "Alternate Team". However, after the filming of these two scenes, Li Qiang fell into a situation where there was no drama to shoot. At that time, he often rode a bicycle, and went to the Beijing Film Studio with his good friend Shen Junyi to meet the director and audition for shots.
At that time, the number of TV dramas filmed in the country every year was very small, and more than 100 movies were filmed, and there were so many professional actors, leaving Li Qiang with extremely limited opportunities.

But there are more directors to see, and insiders are gradually familiar with Li Qiang. In 1984, Li Qiang had a certain popularity for starring in the male protagonist "Xiang Zhiqiang" in "The Year of the Girl and the Boy". The play was filmed at the Wuhan Iron and Steel Factory, where Li Qiang wore thick fireproof overalls in a high temperature of more than 50 degrees, often suffocated by the heat wave, and almost collapsed.

Among them, the hero "Xiao Fei" he played in the film "Agni King Kong" left an indelible impression on the audience. But what really makes Li Qiang a household name is the "Ximen Qing" he played in the old version of "Water Margin".
At the end of 1996, the assistant director of the old version of "Water Margin" approached Li Qiang and said that there were two roles for him to choose: one was "Ximen Qing" and the other was "Lin Chong". Li Qiang felt that the former was challenging and had a lot of room to play, so he chose the role of Ximen Qing. But the director told him that Ximen Qing also had another candidate, that is, the famous Hong Kong actor Leung Ka Fai.
Knowing this, Li Qiang did not hold out hope, thinking that the crew would choose Liang Jiahui. However, after he returned to Beijing after filming "Flying Tigers", the assistant director officially informed him to let him play "Ximen Qing".

In order to play this role well, Li Qiang did a lot of desk work, he carefully read "Water Margin" twice, and often listened to TV commentaries, looking up the movements, language, diet and other information of Ming Dynasty characters, so that he could get as close as possible to Ximen Qing psychologically.
In September 1997, Li Qiangjin filmed in a group, and his scenes were filmed for more than two months, and the martial arts drama alone lasted more than 20 days. The martial arts instructor was the famous Hong Kong martial artist Yuan Heping, who was very satisfied with Li Qiang's martial arts.

At that time, Wang Siyi was not yet in love, had a good feeling for Li Qiang, and made it clear that he was willing to find a boyfriend in the mainland, so he would find "Ximen Qing". But Li Qiang was in love at that time, in a bad mood, and did not pick up Wang Siyi's move, so the two missed it.
After becoming famous, Li Qiang was as simple and low-key as ever, and never regarded himself as a famous actor. It is precisely because of his good character and art that everyone is willing to cooperate with Li Qiang.

After 5 days, the injury improved slightly, and Li Qiang continued to shoot with the injury, and his professionalism made the crew move up and down.
The old version of "Water Margin" is often broadcast on TV, because Li Qiang portrayed "Ximen Qing" too realistically, many people misunderstood him, thinking that Li Qiang was also a gentleman in life.
