was born in the same bed and followed each other after death. Such a deep love moved many viewers and shed tears.
However, Xi Meijuan's love in real life is not as perfect and touching as it is in the play.
39-year-old she took the risk of giving birth to a son. Unexpectedly, she was still in confinement, and her husband, Zhou Yemang , couldn't wait to file for divorce. Zhou Yemang is also an actor, and once played Lin Chong in the 1998 version of " Water Margin HTML ".
"Let's get divorced" - in just 5 words, another bloody wound was torn open in Xi Meijuan's heart, who was suffering from the pain of childbirth.
How many people in the world can endure such an encounter?
How many people can come out of the shadow of being hurt safely?
But Xi Meijuan did it.
She raised her child alone, but never stopped her from meeting Zhou Yemang; 25 years after the divorce, she and Zhou Yemang gathered in "Anjia" to resolve their past grudges.
The more she lives, the more she becomes, the more she lives, and the more she lives, and has lived a different life.
01 Female educated youth went to the countryside to become a student of Shanghai Theater
for more than 40 years, Xi Meijuan has been well known to the audience and is an absolute old actor.
But in fact, her growing up environment was an ordinary family that had nothing to do with art. She lived in the rural areas of the suburbs of Shanghai for generations.
Her father is a technician in a toy factory and her mother is a female worker in a textile factory. There are 5 brothers and sisters in the family, and she is the eldest.
Childhood was hard, and it was still an out of reach for Xi Meijuan.
The only pastime in life is probably the books that the Chinese teacher took the initiative to lend her.
Under the nourishment of books, and grandma always reminds you that "sitting for sitting, and standing for standing", Xi Meijuan has shown an unusual calmness and stability since she was a child.
This calm personality also affected her life.
After graduating from middle school, Xi Meijuan joined the torrent of going to the countryside and and went to the countryside to go to the countryside. At that time, she was only 18 years old, but because of her calm temperament and high education, she was recommended to the county by the production team not long after she went to the lineup and participated in the study class of "local journalists".
Just as he looked like a "local reporter", the production team suddenly called her back.
What she didn't know was that an important opportunity in life was waiting for it.
At that time, Shanghai Theater Academy recruited students in rural areas according to regulations, and the production team decided to let her take the admissions exam.
Xi Meijuan didn't even know about dramas or sketches, so she signed up in a confused manner and entered the "finals circle".
Fortunately, during the last round of exams, the title she got was "Boarding a hoe and returning home." This is not difficult for her to grow up in the countryside.
She knocked on the soil on the hoe as if she was decent, then put the hoe down, then went to raise beans, carry water, and collect the soles of the shoe... She was not idle for a moment, which was a true portrayal of rural people.
But the examiner suddenly shouted, "The pigpen caught fire."
Xi Meijuan was startled and did not panic, but immediately picked up the bucket. She just ran two steps and felt that the bucket was not enough, so she turned around and went to get the basin.
's agile reaction and real performance left a deep impression on the examiner.
In this way, Xi Meijuan, who had only been to the countryside for one month, became a student of Shanghai Theater.
4 years in college, she studied the theory of performance in obsession, often forgetting to eat and sleep; she never complained about hardship or tiredness in rehearsals. After graduation, she joined the Shanghai People's Art Theater, and was also the only girl assigned here among the students of that class.
Here, she not only gained a career, but also encountered the changes in her smooth life - Zhou Yemang.
02 The "Pearl" on the stage and the drama newcomer
21-year-old Xi Meijuan, just entered the Shanghai People's Art Theater, ushered in the spring of art.
At that time, the special period had just ended. The literary and artistic industry, which had been desolate for 10 years, was in a mess, but because the school had been suspended for several years, the talents were cut off.
So, when the older generation of dramatists saw Xi Meijuan, a good seedling, they were all doing their best to irrigate and fertilize, and continuously giving nutrients. Before Xi Meijuan could react, she "passively" absorbed these nutrients.
She said: "It seems that there is a magical power in the dark, and I have to push me to the front stage. I didn't have time to think too much and walked into the spotlight."
The health staff in "Ten Thousand Waters and Thousand Mountains", the bitter girl in "Dry Trees Come to Spring", Li Xiaoxia in " Save Her ", Juliet in "Romeo and Juliet", etc. The characters she played have the great span and the great contrast that made countless people amazed.
She has become a pearl on the drama stage, shining brightly.
As long as she is in the play, the attendance rate of this play is definitely high.
has just two years since she entered the industry, and Xi Meijuan won the "Excellent Performance Award" for the Shanghai Youth Actors Performance; after three years in the industry, she was awarded the "Outstanding Young and Middle-aged Actors Award" by the Shanghai First Literature and Art Award.
The famous dramatist After reading "Save Her", Huang Zuolin excitedly published an article in the newspaper to affirm and praise Xi Meijuan, asserting that she is a "drama actor with deep potential and broad prospects."
He also expressed his deep hope for her, "strengthening literary cultivation will be of great help to improve his acting skills."
Before this, Huang Zuolin had never written an article for an actor.
accompanied by applause, and there were many different sharp voices that focused on her appearance. She is not a beauty in the traditional sense and should not be the protagonist.
But she is as free and easy as her, she refuses fame and fortune, and is even more lazy to deal with the slander.
When Xi Meijuan shines on the stage of drama, Zhou Yemang, who has loved the stage since childhood, finally got admitted to Shanghai Theatre. After graduating from Shanghai Theatre Academy, he was assigned to the Shanghai People's Art Theatre again.
The two people who were originally walking on two parallel lines began to intertwined from then on.
are both actors of the People's Art Theater. Whether on the stage or in life, Xi Meijuan and Zhou Yemang are naturally inseparable from contact. While they were together day and night, the two people of similar age quickly got together.
Only a year later, they formed a sweet family of two under the urging of their parents. Shortly after the marriage, Xi Meijuan became pregnant.
Xi Meijuan and Zhou Yemang both had great expectations for this love crystal that reported on time.
But they didn't know that a cruel blow also quietly came.
03 After the pain of losing a child, the gap in career became wider and wider
After waiting tremblingly for 10 months, the child in Xi Meijuan's belly was finally born, and she was a lovely daughter.
However, their joy of being parents lasted only 10 days, and their daughter unfortunately died due to illness.
has not yet emerged from the cruel blow, and the two of them supported each other and devoted themselves to their work.
Huang Zuolin, who admires Xi Meijuan very much, chose to play Yin Fu's mother when preparing for the drama "Life, Love, Freedom".
At that time, she was deeply hit and forgot how to walk on stage. It was with the help of the director and the old actor that he recovered and was able to successfully shape the characters.
Especially when the mother sent her son away, she seemed to empathize with her, expressing her inner sadness and reluctance to the fullest, earning the audience's tears.
After this, Huang Zuolin also handed an olive branch to Xi Meijuan and Zhou Yemang at the same time, inviting the two to play the male and female protagonists in another drama.
This collaboration not only gave the two new breakthroughs in drama performances, winning the Chinese Drama Golden Lion Award and the Plum Blossom Award and , but also made each other's feelings become deeper and deeper after experiencing the blow and achieving the highlights of their common careers.
In those years, in addition to the cooperation on the drama stage, Xi Meijuan also sang and dubbed with Zhou Yemang, and was very busy.
She once said: "My life is the most relaxed only when I am with him. Indeed, I am very happy."
She also said: "I am very grateful for my husband's understanding of me, because I need this kind of warmth too much."
Later, Zhou Yemang switched to the film and television industry, and the couple often separated from each other. But whenever there is time, Zhou Yemang will write to her.
Every time she takes the envelope from the old man in the mail room and sees the name on the cover, she will jump up like a child with joy.
Every time we get together, our first dinner will be chosen in an elegant and romantic place, drinking carefully and expressing our longing.
However, love in the entertainment industry often cannot defeat the growing gap in career.
completed the drama "Jane Eyre", and Xi Meijuan followed the development of the times and naturally moved to the film and television industry.
In fact, before this, many film and television directors had invited her, but when they tried the camera, they found that she was not on camera enough, and it was left alone.
Xi Meijuan also rejected the invitation to the movie " Fake Jurchen ". Director Wu Zhennian said: If you don't appear on camera, that's because the photography is not good, it's not her problem.
As director Wu Zhennian said, Xi Meijuan was not only very photogenic, but also made a big splash and won the "Best Actress" in Golden Rooster Award at .
When Zhou Yemang was still taking on movies and TV series,
Xi Meijuan was already in the film industry and soaring into the sky.
04 "divorced" during her confinement period, she was unusually calm and calm
After using the "golden rooster" to knock on the door of the movie circle, in just one year, Xi Meijuan won 4 "Best Actress Awards" including the Huabiao Awards and the Performing Arts Society Award.
At this time, Zhou Yemang's career was lukewarm.
In the movie " Jiang Zhuying ", she plays Jiang Zhuying's wife Lu Changqin, a great woman who suddenly died when her husband died, and since then he raised two children and supported the entire family.
In addition, she had to endure the pain of the loving couple suddenly being separated forever, but they could only put away Jiang Zhuying's photo and pretended that nothing had happened.
Xi Meijuan let this grief hidden deep in her heart slowly "erode" herself.
After filming "Jiang Zhuying", Xi Meijuan dragged her sick body and filmed the movie "A Doctor's Story". This story tells how a female doctor named Zhao Xuefang dedicated everything to the people in the mountainous areas. When the shooting was made, the people there once thought she was Zhao Xuefang, and they were so excited that they held her hand with tears in their eyes.
That New Year's Day, she was thinking about the wind and snow in the northwest Shanxi .
Women also have different ways of living.
After returning from northwest Shanxi, Xi Meijuan became pregnant.
After 9 years, she finally wants to be a mother again. However, the age of 39 may make her much harder than ordinary people.
immersed in the complex emotions of expectation and worry, Xi Meijuan did not notice that Zhou Yemang began to become abnormal and alienated.
She didn't react until Zhou Yemang filed for divorce when she gave birth to a son and started confinement.
It’s a pity, it’s too late.
But Xi Meijuan's calmness and stability are still unusual. She agreed to the divorce, but only if her son took her last name.
After the divorce, the children and career occupied all the time, and she couldn't remember to think about why the 11-year marriage suddenly failed.
, and Zhou Yemang hurriedly married actress Wang Zhixia .
Faced with the outside world's speculation, Xi Meijuan only explained: she wants a good lover. You must have a good character and understand love. It is impossible not to understand, or not to love. After
explained, she jumped out of this grudge, took care of her son, and was busy with her career.
From "Wang Gui and Anna" to " Hot Mom Main Story ", from "Hawthorn Tree Love" to "Mom! 》, from "Meritorious Affairs" to "Breakthrough", etc., Miki's acting skills have amazed countless audiences.
From the "Golden Lion Award" to the "Golden Rooster Award", from the " Golden Eagle Award " to "Two Virtue and Art", "Lifetime Achievement Award", etc., Xi Meijuan has won fruitful awards.
every one, she deserves it.
Compared with her, Zhou Yemang is also a familiar actor to the audience, and there are only a handful of characters that can be called out.
Conclusion:
While his career is booming, Xi Meijuan also always fulfills her mother's responsibilities.
No matter how busy she is, she will take enough time to talk and study with her son Xi Nan and talk about interesting things;
No matter how far she is, she will rush home before Children's Day and her son's birthday, celebrate and take photos with him.
As long as there is no filming, the mother and son will go on a trip, promoting the understanding and relationship between mother and son during the trip. .
Xi Meijuan gave Xi Nan enough maternal love, and never stopped him from going to Zhou Yemang to enjoy fatherly love. After Zhou Yemang and Wang Zhixia got married, they did not have children.
Under the nourishment of sufficient love, Xi Nan gradually grew into a sunny and cheerful big boy, and went abroad to study and began to experience his life.
And after being a mother for 27 years, Xi Meijuan finally had the chance to become a "child".
In September 2022, she was in the movie "Mom! In 》, he returned to the state of "child" because of Alzheimer's disease.
She "can" cause trouble, gets in the rain, clamoring to eat ice cream, and clamoring to find her mother; she "can" lie in her mother Wu Yanshu's arms, feeding her, and taking care of her...
This passive "can" is the most tear-jerking one.
When they were impressed by their acting skills, many viewers saw Xi Meijuan, 67, on the red carpet, and couldn't help but sigh: Naturally, they can be beautiful and elegant when they grow old.
Everyone says that he is naturally elegant with poetry and literature, but the bitterness he has experienced has also made Xi Meijuan feel as calm as a chrysanthemum.
She has tasted the heartbrokenness of losing her young girl;
She has tasted the mellow love, and suddenly became tasteless entanglement and confusion;
She has tasted the helplessness and loneliness of being alone, and tasted the joy of getting together and the tears of parting;
When she gritted her teeth one by one, she also learned to be tolerant and kind to others, becoming more generous and free and easy.
Years never defeated beauty,
hardships can also make the carving a better self.
