In the recent hit TV series "An Jia", there is an old couple Song Teacher and Grandma Jiang's emotional drama, which has touched many netizens.
Teacher Song is sick, and Grandma Jiang wants to sell the house to save her wife. Teacher Song said that his illness was not cured well, and he wanted to save the money to buy an elevator room for Grandma Jiang so that she could retire.
The fairy love of the two old people, the tear-inducing plot, also made Grandma Jiang Song on the hot search list, and all of this, are inseparable from the superb performance of the two old drama bones, especially Xi Meijuan, who plays Grandma Jiang, many people may not be familiar with her name, but when they see her face, they know who it is, she is known as China's "mother professional household", playing a lot of classic mother images, and this time she transformed into a grandmother for the first time, and suddenly grabbed people's attention.
Some netizens said that watching "An Jia", what I am most looking forward to is Xi Meijuan's role, because I like her performance and her temperament too much.
She is not particularly beautiful, but the temperament of light as a chrysanthemum and such as an orchid is unforgettable, as an old drama bone, she has a bumpy road, but there is no scandal, she has been dependent on her son for a life, simple life, and is truly an old artist with both virtue and art.
Xi Meijuan was born in Shanghai to an ordinary working-class family, and at the age of 18, she went to the suburbs to join the team and worked all day in the farm.
She loved to read since she was a child, and her heart was high, and she felt that this was not the life she wanted, and she thought about how to change her destiny.
Later, the opportunity came, the Shanghai Theater Academy enrolled, she was recommended to take the exam, did not think, actually admitted! The examiner probably also liked her with a blank piece of paper and was a malleable talent.
In school, she is the hardest student, the major is also top-notch, but her shortcomings are not outstanding, so the teacher recommended her to audition many times, but the other party always refused on the grounds of "not on the photo", which also made her confused and inferior.
But in the midst of the dilemma, she practiced harder and honed for 11 years at the Shanghai People's Art Theatre. Her efforts were finally recognized, and in 1988, she won the Chinese Drama Plum Blossom Award for her drama "Chinese Dream".
Since then, she has won many awards in succession.
In 1990, she participated in the film "Fake Girl True Feelings" and won the Best Actress Award at the 11th Golden Rooster Awards of Chinese Film.
In 2000, she played the villain Lan Sihong in the anti-corruption TV series "Red Carnation", and won the Outstanding Actress Award at the 21st China TV Drama Feitian Awards.
In 2004, she won the "Audience's Favorite TV Drama Actress" award at the 5th Golden Eagle Festival for "Doing Zhuang".
Where a person's time is spent, it is obvious that she is quietly working in her own field, no topic, no gossip, and does not participate in various fashion activities, she is not like a star, but just a performance artist.
In recent years, she has played "mother" in many film and television dramas, each of which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, most of the roles she plays are supporting roles, and she is never well prepared because she is a supporting role, even if it is a role with a few lines, she has to pay 12 points of effort, she said: there is no small role, only small actors.
Unlike her career boom, her marriage was very unhappy.
Because of her participation in "Chinese Dream", she met Zhou Yemang, who was also an actor, and Zhou Yemang played the role of Lin Chong in the 96 version of "Water Margin".

At the age of 30, Xi Meijuan and Zhou Yemang entered into marriage, which was also her only marriage.
Shortly after the marriage, she became pregnant, very much looking forward to being a mother, and even pushed off a lot of dramas, wanting to be at home with her husband and children, but unfortunately, the child was miscarried.

This hit her hard, and for a long time afterwards she was afraid to have any more children. It wasn't until she was 39 years old that she was pregnant with the baby again. No, less than a month after Xi Meijuan gave birth to the child, Zhou Yemang divorced her, and the reason for the divorce was that some people said that Zhou Yemang cheated.
Giving birth at an advanced age is a very hard thing, one month after childbirth, it is the time when the body and mind are most fragile, and they need to be cared for and comforted by their lovers, but Xi Meijuan is going to start to take on the heavy responsibility of raising children alone, and its hardships can be imagined.
In order to raise children, over the years, Xi Meijuan has desperately taken over the drama, and her son likes to paint, so she sent him to the United States to learn to paint. It is gratifying that the son has always been very sensible and has a low-key personality like his mother, and when he holds a parent-teacher conference at school, he will tell his mother to dress plainly.
After the divorce, Zhou Yemang married the actress Wang Zhixia, who was 7 years younger than him, wang Zhixia had played a role in many Qiong Yao dramas, and was also a Qiong girl, and the two had not had children since marriage.
In "An Jia", Zhou Ye mang also played a role, he played on the same stage with Xi Meijuan in the early stage. After so many years, the two should have put aside their unpleasant past.
What kind of woman is happiest? Some people say that family and beauty, some people say that there is achievement in career, but I think that a life that I feel has achieved is happy.
In the first half of Xi Meijuan's life, her feelings were not smooth, her career was also tepid, and the hardships of a single mother, she definitely did not pull down.
But for everyone's life, the process is a little hard, a little tortuous, it doesn't matter, the important thing is not to give up the effort, not to give up a good life, such a person, will eventually usher in the willow dark flowers.
For Xi Meijuan, over 60 years old, she has ushered in the best time in her life, and the career she has pursued in her life has accumulated and flourished. Other actresses are afraid of getting old, because getting old often means being angry, Xi Meijuan is the opposite, she did not have a big hit when she was young, she has been working silently, and in her old age, she began to shine, this bitter sweetness, than the sweetness that has always been there, may be more refreshing.
In the family, the son has also grown up, filial piety and understanding, Xi Meijuan has also been fed by her son, as a mother, this is the happiest moment.
