Bai Nao plans to use his share of money to remarry and find a wife. Money was tight so he made a donation to help a child who couldn't afford college.

How did Wang Xiaoli get into acting? He and Wen Meiling share a son, Wang Liang, why did they divorce again? How did Wang Xiaoli and his second wife Li Lin meet and fall in love? What is his marital status like after becoming famous?
Wang Xiaoli's "Liu Laogen" stills
On April 28, 1969, Wang Xiaoli was born in the rural area of Wanlong Township, Shuangcheng County, Heilongjiang Province. His father Wang Mingshan and mother Huang Xiaoqiu were both folk duo artists in Northeast China.
Wang Mingshan and his wife usually farm at home. During the slack time, the couple go to surrounding rural areas to perform duets to earn some extra money to support their family.
Wang Xiaoli inherited the excellent artistic genes from his parents and was good at singing and dancing since he was a child. When his parents went to perform outside, they also took Wang Xiaoli with them. Wang Xiaoli grew up backstage at the performance.
When his parents were performing on stage, Wang Xiaoli sat nearby and watched. Subtly, he learned many two-person repertoire. When Wang Xiaoli was 8 years old, his father unfortunately sprained his foot while practicing Kung Fu and was unable to perform on stage.
Wang Xiaoli's parents were very anxious when they performed the duet
on stage. As a result, Wang Xiaoli replaced his father and cooperated with his mother in performing "Split the Mountain to Save Mother". He has a good voice, rich expressions, and a handsome appearance. The audience gave him the warmest applause.
Wang Xiaoli came to the rescue this time, allowing his parents to see his artistic potential, and they deliberately cultivated him from then on.
When he was in elementary school, Wang Xiaoli followed his parents and learned more than 40 traditional two-person plays such as "Splashing Water in Front of the Horse" and " Back to the Cup". Wang Xiaoli went to performances with his parents during winter and summer vacations, and began to play leading roles at a young age.
Wang Xiaoli's academic performance is not good, and there is no hope for him to go to ordinary university. He only wants to go to an art school.
In 1984, when Wang Xiaoli was 15 years old, the local theater troupe of Heilongjiang Art School enrolled students. He passed 4 levels in a row, and it was certain that he would go to art school, but in the end his place was taken.

When Wang Xiaoli was young
After that, Wang Xiaoli stopped going to school and began to play duo with his parents. They performed all over Harbin, and the audience became tired of it. When Wang Xiaoli was 16 years old, he followed his parents to perform in rural areas such as Daqing and Suihua.
The group they followed was a grassroots team, and they had to be responsible for their own food and accommodation. So Wang Xiaoli put the rice cooker, rice, noodles, oil, Chinese cabbage, etc. in a woven bag, and carried the woven bag wherever he went to perform.
Sometimes I took a train to perform at the next place. Wang Xiaoli and his parents didn't buy seats. He was too sleepy at night, so he got under the seat and slept with his face pressed against someone else's leather shoes.
During the journey, Wang Xiaoli and his parents experienced the bitterness of life. Especially winter is the hardest time. Everyone rides in an open truck and braves the low temperature of 30 to 40 degrees below zero to perform in villages.
At night, everyone lived in an abandoned warehouse. They lit kerosene lamps and had no heating. They all burrowed into the straw and were so cold that they couldn't sleep all night.
In 1986, Wang Xiaoli was 17 years old. Due to their age, my parents could no longer sing high notes, so they returned to the countryside to farm. Wang Xiaoli carried his luggage alone and went out to explore the world.
He entered a nightclub in Daqing City to sing, but the boss didn't let him sing because he thought his singing was too unrefined. When others sang a duet, Wang Xiaoli was asked to play the clown and jump up and down on the stage.
Wang Xiaoli was ready to move to other nightclubs, but every nightclub was dominated by celebrities, and there was no place for him to stand out.
So Wang Xiaoli went to perform in some inconspicuous karaoke halls. The audience here asked him to sing dirty jokes. When Wang Xiaoli couldn't sing, the audience booed him. The manager of
scolded Wang Xiaoli: Look, who applauded you when you came on stage? If you keep pretending to be serious, get out of here. Wang Xiaoli has a bottom line as a human being: he will never tell dirty jokes. As a result, he was fired and had to find another job.
Meiling Wen
In 1988, Wang Xiaoli met the duo actor Wen Meiling during a performance. She is the same age as Wang Xiaoli and is also from Heilongjiang. She is tall and beautiful. At that time, neither of them had a fixed partner, so they formed a team and performed in various theaters.
Wang Xiaoli has a good voice, Wen Meiling is beautiful and has good singing skills. The two are quite popular as partners. During the performance together, Wang Xiaoli and Wen Meiling gradually fell in love.
In 1991, the two got married in their hometown. After marriage, their son Wang Liang was born. After years of hard work, Wang Xiaoli has become famous in Daqing. Sometimes he goes to perform in some high-end nightclubs in Daqing and earns 600 yuan a day.
After Wen Meiling became a mother, she returned to the family and became a full-time housewife. At that time, they did not own a house and lived in a rented house as a family of three.
Wang Xiaoli plays billiards
Wang Xiaoli's biggest hobby is playing billiards, and he is hailed by the locals as the "Billiards Prince of the Entertainment Circle". When he wasn't performing, he would hang out in the pool hall all day long.
Wen Meiling hoped that Wang Xiaoli could stay with her and her son at home, but she could not see him all day long.
To be fair, Wen Meiling gave up her acting career and made huge sacrifices to take care of her husband and raise her children at home, but Wang Xiaoli couldn't see her sacrifice and thought that being a housewife meant she would enjoy happiness.
As everyone knows, being a housewife is far more difficult than Wen Meiling singing a duet. All kinds of worries are intertwined, and Wang Xiaoli and Wen Meiling have a stumbling block.
In 1998, the two went through divorce procedures, and their son lived with Wen Meiling.

Wang Xiaoli
The divorce dealt a great blow to Wang Xiaoli, especially his rural parents who could not accept the fact that their son was divorced. When talking about their grandson, the old couple shed tears.
Moreover, Wang Xiaoli's career was also greatly affected by the divorce. Soon, Wang Xiaoli heard that the Changchun Peace Theater was recruiting duo actors, so he hurried over to apply.
He had a shaved head, wrinkled clothes, and was rustic. He was eliminated in the first round. Wang Xiaoli was unconvinced and felt that the judges were ignorant of talents, so he boldly approached the theater manager: I came from Heilongjiang on a hard seat, and it was not easy to come here.Please give me another chance.
Wang Xiaoli started singing without waiting for the manager to speak. The other party was moved by his courage and persistence, and Wang Xiaoli sang very well, so the manager asked Wang Xiaoli to stay in the theater temporarily for a trial period of one month.
Wang Xiaoli
After Wang Xiaoli divorced Wen Meiling, Wang Xiaoli lost his regular partner. He wanted to find an excellent regular partner, which would be beneficial to both parties.
Once he was looking at the actor stills of Peace Theater , and was attracted by a young actress named Li Lin. The manager of
told Wang Xiaoli: Li Lin is from Yingkou, Liaoning Province. She has good singing skills and is now performing in her hometown. Wang Xiaoli quickly went to the video store and bought a CD by Li Lin.
When he returned to his residence and listened, he felt that Li Lin sang so well. So Wang Xiaoli decided to make Li Lin his regular partner.
Li Lin was born in Yingkou City, Liaoning Province in 1980. She is 11 years younger than Wang Xiaoli. She is an unmarried girl and does not even have a boyfriend. Li Lin is very famous in Liaoning and has no fixed partner.
Li Lin
In the spring of 1999, Wang Xiaoli made a special trip to Liaoning to find Li Lin and sincerely explained his intention. Li Lin decided to audition for three scenes with him. If they were suitable for each other, they would become a permanent partner. If they were not suitable, they would go their separate ways.
Wang Xiaoli and Li Lin performed 3 scenes at the Peace Theater and became quite popular with the audience. At the end of the performance, the audience threw flowers, chocolates, and stuffed animals onto the stage. Wang Xiaoli and Li Lin shed tears of excitement.
The two of them had a good impression of each other and decided to become a regular partner.
While getting along day and night, Wang Xiaoli and Li Lin developed feelings, and the two confirmed their relationship.
However, Li Lin is the only daughter in the family, and her parents are firmly opposed to her falling in love with Wang Xiaoli. The reason is that Wang Xiaoli is 11 years older than Li Lin, and the age gap between them is too big. Furthermore, Wang Xiaoli is divorced, has a son, and his financial situation is not good.
Wang Xiaoli and Li Lin partnered to perform duo
The parents of the Li family felt that their daughter was falling in love with Wang Xiaoli and was jumping into the fire pit .
In order to pass the test of prospective parents-in-law, Wang Xiaoli followed Li Lin to Yingkou, Liaoning Province several times to work for his parents-in-law. Every time he brings large and small packages of gifts to Li's parents, he affectionately calls them "Mom and Dad" when they meet.
During those few days at the Li family, Wang Xiaoli rushed to cook, wash the dishes, go to the gas station to help the Li family's parents fill gas, and then carry the gas tank weighing dozens of kilograms upstairs. The Li family's parents were gradually moved by Wang Xiaoli's simplicity and persistence, and accepted him in their hearts.
After returning to Changchun, Li Lin pinched Wang Xiaoli's ears: You are so thick-skinned! Wang Xiaoli made a face at his girlfriend: You are not shameless, can I catch you?

Wang Xiaoli and Li Lin
In October 2000, Wang Xiaoli and Li Lin returned to their hometown in Heilongjiang to hold a wedding.
Perhaps marriage brought happiness. Soon Wang Xiaoli participated in CCTV's " Dream Theater " performance and won the gold medal in the finals.
In this way, Wang Xiaoli became popular in the three northeastern provinces . Not long after winning the award, Liaoning held the first Zhao Benshan Duo Grand Prix, and Wang Xiaoli rushed to participate. In order to have a better chance of winning, Wang Xiaoli specially visited Gao Xiumin and He Qingkui and asked them to provide guidance on his duozhuan work.
On the day of the competition, Wang Xiaoli was particularly nervous. He first sang a piece of "Guoshan Tune" and then sang "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" with a female voice, and won third place.
Wang Xiaoli
The three masters and apprentices
On the day after receiving the award, Wang Xiaoli suddenly heard that Zhao Benshan was planning to recruit apprentices, and he wanted to become Zhao Benshan's apprentice. But he had never dealt with Zhao Benshan and did not have his phone number, so he called Gao Xiumin and asked her to come forward and talk to Zhao Benshan.
Wang Xiaoli didn't know whether Zhao Benshan would agree, so he was so nervous that he stayed up all night. The next morning, Gao Xiumin's call came: My son, congratulations, Teacher Benshan has agreed to accept you as a disciple.
At that moment, Wang Xiaoli's tears flowed down. Then he took his wife to Shenyang for development and officially joined the Zhaojiaban. The couple performed on the Liu Laogen stage .
On November 4, 2001, Wang Xiaoli and Li Lin's son was born in Shenyang. After becoming a mother, Li Lin asked her parents to come to Shenyang to help her take care of her son, and she continued to perform with her husband.
At that time, Wang Xiaoli and his wife did not have a house in Shenyang, so it was very inconvenient to rent a house. Zhao Benshan lent the couple a sum of money to buy a house in Shenyang, and their lives finally settled down.
Wang Xiaoli and Tang Jianjun's "Country Love" stills
In 2006, Wang Xiaoli starred in the TV series "Country Love", playing the leading actor " Liu Neng" in the drama. Li Lin played the role of " Xie Lan", the daughter of Xie Guangkun in the drama.
Originally the role of "Liu Neng" was tailor-made for Fan Wei, but Fan Wei withdrew from the crew due to various reasons, so Zhao Benshan chose Wang Xiaoli to replace Fan Wei among many disciples.
Zhao Benshan was worried that Wang Xiaoli would not be able to win this role and was under tremendous pressure. In order not to disappoint his master, Wang Xiaoli pondered the drama in his mind all day long. He designed Liu Neng's look: bald, with a little moustache, wearing a large vest, suspenders, and barefoot shoes.
In order to increase the joy of the character, the director asked Wang Xiaoli to learn how to babble. Because Fan Wei has played Keba in a play before, Wang Xiaoli's Keba must be different from Fan Wei's.
Stills from Li Lin's "Country Love"
So Wang Xiaoli devised his own design: Liu Neng would start stumbling as soon as he became anxious, and his face would turn red from holding back.
In 2007, "Country Love" was broadcast on many satellite TV stations across the country, setting a new high in ratings. "Liu Neng" portrayed by Wang Xiaoli became a classic character.
In 2010, in order to make Wang Xiaoli famous, Zhao Benshan brought him to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala to perform the sketch "Donation". Sure enough, Wang Xiaoli became an instant hit.

On New Year's Eve, February 2, 2011, Zhao Benshan once again brought Wang Xiaoli to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala to perform the sketch "You at the Same Table". This sketch was a narrow escape. At the request of the Spring Festival Gala crew, it took more than 40 days of polishing and 21 revisions before it was finally finalized.
Wang Xiaoli and Zhao Benshan performed "My Deskmate" at the Spring Festival Gala
Until the show started, Wang Xiaoli, Zhao Benshan, Xiao Shenyang and others were still rehearsing. "My Deskmate" brought Wang Xiaoli even higher popularity.
The popularity of "Country Love" and his two appearances on the Spring Festival Gala have made Wang Xiaoli's popularity continue to rise. Among Zhao Benshan's apprentices, Wang Xiaoli's popularity is almost as popular as that of Xiao Shenyang.
