Recently, veteran drama star Li Liqun, who is isolated at home, has adopted Douyin as a circle of friends, sharing his life on it every day.
The chatty thoughts every day, Daqianmen Smoking cigarettes sparingly, and living a down-to-earth life have attracted countless fans in the mainland.
Although, the real estate where he lives in Shanghai is worth a lot of money. But Li Liqun was a very frugal person, and his family had insufficient reserves, so he advocated saving flowers and not being willing to throw out the leftover soup, so he could eat it hot the next day.
has been in the industry for 43 years. He has filmed more than 3,000 TV series. He is known as the "Golden Bell King". His style of filming as long as there is a schedule has allowed him to film countless bad movies, and he has also been dubbed: the most popular movie. An unprincipled Shidi.
In the circle, he is recognized as a person who is "open to money". This is due to the lack of food and clothing in his childhood and the huge debt in his middle age. The importance of money has been engraved in his bones.
helps his half-brother pay off debts, build a house, and set up a factory to show brotherly love.
Li Liqun, who believes in "never telling lies and not telling the whole truth", once criticized Li Ao for claiming that the master was a "psychopath" in his early years, causing trouble.
refused because he was afraid of screwing up. Teresa Teng . As a member of the entertainment industry, although he has seen all the beauties in the world, he is always a good husband whose love is stronger than gold and who regards his wife as a benefactor.

Li Liqun was born in Hsinchu County, Taiwan Province on May 2, 1952. His grandfather and father were both soldiers. He knew that he had an aunt and an older brother in his hometown in Henan since he was a child.
's father, Li Xiyi, was born in Henan in 1913. In 1931, with the ideal of getting ahead, he embarked on the road to the military academy and left his wife and his 18-day-old son. Little did he know that this separation was a farewell to his first wife. .
After her husband left home, Li Xiyi's first wife took on the important task of supporting her mother-in-law and raising her son. She is a pungent and capable midwife in the village. As long as someone calls for a midwife, she will be there regardless of the weather. She has a very good reputation in the village.
In 1983, Li Xiyi, who was far away in Taiwan and was taking a nap at home, accidentally rubbed the radio on the ground. At this time, the radio rang. When he picked it up and listened, it was playing the story of his son Li Jianyu who was far away in his hometown in Henan and looking for his own life. information.
Hearing that his first wife was still alive and his son was well, he was so excited that he wrote a long love letter to the mother and son, and asked someone to take it back to his hometown.
His first wife has been waiting for the return of her husband Li Xiyi all her life. After receiving a letter from her husband, the aunt was already terminally ill. Knowing that her time was short, she looked forward to her husband Li Xiyi returning to his hometown to be together soon, and told her son Li Jianyu:
"Don't tell him that I'm leaving, you guys If you tell him the truth, he won't come back."
In less than half a year, cross-strait navigation was opened, and Li Xiyi, who was tired of life, returned to his hometown. In his heart, his wife was still 19 years old when they parted.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Facing the cold graves of his mother and wife, 70-year-old Li Xiyi cried like a child.
Li Xiyi, who was promoted to colonel of the National Army in 1949, participated in the Anti-Japanese War and the Kuomintang-Communist War. After
retreated to Taiwan with the army, knowing that there was no hope of returning home, he married Li Liqun's biological mother, a Beijing girl.
After Li Xiyi retired, the life of his family became very difficult. Li Liqun said: "My family has only four walls, and my family has two walls. At that time, the whole family lived in a ruined temple with only two walls left."
Although Living in poverty, Li Liqun is still cheerful and optimistic, and gets along very well with his classmates.
He brings an empty lunch box to school every day, and uses it to drink cold water when he is hungry. Later, when his classmates know about his family background, everyone will know. Give him lunch.
Li Liqun
In Taiwan at that time, all supplies could only be transported by sea. Sailors not only had high wages but could also travel around the world. This profession became the ideal of most people, and Li Xiyi was no exception. He wanted his son to become a A seaman.
In order not to disappoint his father, Li Liqun entered the navigation department.His grades in school were not good. Out of boredom, he joined the Chinese Youth Theater Company organized outside school and worked as a handyman.
Later Li Liqun recalled:
"At that time, I accidentally developed an affection for drama performances that I can't get rid of in my life."
After graduation, he became the helmsman of an ocean liner. Although he received a high salary of more than NT$20,000 per month, the boring sailing life was really unbearable for Li Liqun.
He felt that the job of a seaman was not a long-term solution. He would be wandering at sea for many years without being able to see his family. Eight months later, he resigned from the job.
Later, he also did sales, delivery, chicken raising and other jobs, but unfortunately he didn't last long.
His father couldn't stand it anymore and said to him: " Liqun, if you continue to complain about one line of work, it means nothing else. It means that we are not knowledgeable enough."
What he said suddenly made him realize that the only way to do this is to stick to his own. Ideally, do what you like.

In 1978, 26-year-old Li Liqun was admitted to the China Television actor training class.
In just three years, he won the Golden Bell Award for Best Actor for "You Have Pity on Me and I Have Pity on You."
In 1983, Li Liqun played two roles in the musical film "The Wrong Car". As the movie became popular, Li Liqun became a hot star.

In this year, for decades, my father, who had been homesick for many years, actively prepared to embark on the road to return to his hometown to find his relatives.
Li Liqun understood his father's mood when he returned home. In order for his father to return home in good clothes, he funded his father a large amount of money, because in the letter he knew that his aunt and brother were orphans and widowed, and their life had not been easy these years.
Li Liqun, who jumped to the front line at this time, was tired of the routine of filming. Unconventional, he began to perform in Western restaurants and nightclubs.
At that time, he would hold his dress and sit on the back of his younger brother's motorcycle every night, traveling to major nightclubs in Taipei, attending up to 7 shows a day.
performed at a nightclub. What made him happiest was that people who were eating steak with gusto put down their knives and forks and stopped eating the steak. Or people who are talking about business or love, but they don’t talk about business and love, they concentrate on enjoying their own performance, and then laugh happily.
This is a very big challenge for myself, and it is also very interesting.
Of course, these performances also brought him huge income. More than 2,000 shows made him a rich man with tens of millions of New Taiwan dollars.
Lai Shengchuan, Li Guoxiu, Li Liqun
Later, he met Lai Shengchuan and was impressed by his talent. So I decided to switch from the show to the theater stage.
He established a performance workshop with Li Guoxiu and Lai Shengchuan, and successively released works such as "That Night, We Talked about Crosstalk" and "This Night, Who Said Crosstalk".
It is not easy to attract the audience's attention in a chaotic environment. Li Liqun worked hard to polish his acting skills, and the subsequent "Secret Love in Peach Blossom Land" became a sensation.

One day, Li Liqun unexpectedly received a call from Teresa Teng's brother: " Liqun, my sister Teresa Teng wants to treat you to a meal tonight, can you please do me a favor?"
This call surprised Li Liqun. , hung up the phone, but was muttering in his heart, a big star who is popular all over Asia invited me to dinner, what on earth is going on?
Sitting at the table, Teresa Teng was picking up food for Li Liqun and said at the same time: "Brother Liqun, I am going to hold a concert with the theme of "One Billion Applause" and I would like to invite you to be the host. Can you A favor?"
When he heard that this was the case, Li Liqun refused without hesitation. He said: "Ms. Deng, I have no hosting experience. It would be safer for you to ask the host Zhang Fei."
Teresa Teng said: " I want to change the style of this concert, and I think you are more suitable as the host."
Faced with Teresa Teng's kind invitation, Li Liqun was full of gratitude. Looking at this sister who was only one year younger than him, he thought about it and still felt that he was not sure about it. If he took it and messed up, then... I'm so sorry for Teresa Teng.
Teresa Teng and Li Liqun
After careful consideration, he still refused this rare opportunity to show his face. Instead of blaming him, Teresa Teng felt that Li Liqun was an honest and steady good man.
Although there was no intention to cooperate this time. Afterwards, the two collaborated on TV programs many times, and their relationship became very harmonious.
Once, he went to Li Guoxiu's house to discuss creative matters. A woman in white walked out of the house, and the two passed by each other, but they just glanced at each other. Suddenly, Li Liqun's heart suddenly moved.
Li Liqun and his wife
So, they quickly asked Li Guoxiu and found out that she was Li Guoxiu's second sister-in-law. Her name was Lin Liqin. She was 25 years old and was 9 years younger than him.
She was good at calligraphy and painting. , is a kowtow disciple of master Fang Ruoxun, and is currently teaching painting at a university.
I heard that Li Liqun was interested in her, and Lin Liqin had heard about Li Liqun for a long time, and had a good impression. The two fell in love at first sight, and were matched by Li Guoxiu. , and got married soon.

In 1987, Li Liqun accompanied his father, who had just recovered from a serious illness, to return to his hometown in Henan. He looked very much like his father and felt very close to his elder brother, who was more than 20 years older than him.
A few years ago, his father Li Xiyi was there. With the help of his younger son Li Liqun, he not only paid off the debt of his eldest son Li Jianyu, but also funded the eldest son to build a new house. At this time, it was the early days of reform and opening up. In order to let his eldest brother and his family live a good life, Li Liqun suggested. He set up a factory and started a business with his own funds.
With his help, the eldest brother's factory finally got on the right track. The rapid changes in the mainland left a deep impression on Li Liqun.
This was also the year when the performance workshop was established. In the third year, due to poor management, Li Guoxiu, one of the three major shareholders, chose to withdraw.
Lai Shengchuan, Li Liqun, and Li Guoxiu
Lai Shengchuan gradually became famous because of his continuous masterpieces, and was invited to serve as the director of the Department of Art University. After he took office, Out of good intentions, he also invited Li Liqun to take up the post of professor.
But Li Liqun didn't think so. He said: " Guoxiu is no longer here, and you will be the head of the department again. Who will come to see the store when I leave?"
Although it seems that Li Liqun is a little ignorant, but his words are not rude. Lai Shengchuan is not only busy with creation and teaching, but he also has the energy to focus on running the workshop.
In 1995, Lai Shengchuan wanted to take over 300 episodes of the longevity drama "Our Family is Human". This is a creative method of reading newspapers in the morning, creating at noon, and going into the studio to broadcast live at night.
made Li Liqun very uneasy. He believed that art is not fast food, and only after repeated polishing can it become a fine product.
However, Lai Shengchuan's creative method is too intensive and requires the actors to stay in a state of extreme excitement throughout the day. The actors are close to having MF.
Li Liqun
But Lai Shengchuan does not think so. He feels that this kind of creation can stimulate the potential of actors.
Both of them insisted on their own ideas, and no one could convince the other. With different creative concepts, coupled with years of poor management, the two people, who had collaborated for eleven years, finally had no choice but to break up.

After quitting the performance studio, Li Liqun suddenly discovered that Taiwan’s film and television industry no longer had its own stage. As the backbone of the family,
not only has to support the family, but also has several children admitted to foreign schools one after another. The tuition and living expenses are high, and his sister is terminally ill, all of which require money. Blind investment left him with a huge debt of 7 million.
Although, he doesn’t like filming TV series. In his opinion, filming TV series is just to make money.
Real dilemma, when he received an invitation from a mainland film and television drama producer, Li Liqun, who was "waiting for rice to eat" because of the high price, decided to move to the mainland to start his filming career.
李 Liqun
The humble Li Liqun quickly gained recognition from his mainland peers with his solid acting skills.
Li Liqun has experienced career peaks and troughs, and especially cherishes the hard-won filming opportunities.
According to Li Chengru 's recollection, when he was preparing to film " How Many Cool Autumns in Life " as a producer in 2003, he thought of Li Liqun, so he invited him to join the filming.
Later, when Li Liqun saw him, he was extremely grateful! In fact, Li Liqun is very famous in the industry, and his works are well-known at home and abroad. However, Li Chengru still remembers his humble attitude.
He sincerely said to Li Chengru: " Thank you and the director for giving me this bowl of rice so that I can support my family."
Not only did Li Liqun express his gratitude verbally, but Li Liqun's serious attitude towards acting made Li Chengru still fondly remember him after nearly twenty years.
He believes that Li Liqun uses his own strength to contribute good works, uses practical actions to thank the producers and give back to the audience. This is the real actor.
Li Chengru recalls Li Liqun
It was his good reputation and acting skills that allowed Li Liqun to continue filming in the Mainland, and he successively filmed "New Dragon Gate Inn", "The Twenty-Eight Nannies of Professor Tian's House", "The Two Proud Brothers", Dramas such as " Brilliant Spring, Zhu Bajie ", " Half a Lifetime ", " A Family in Wenzhou " have gradually become well-known to mainland audiences.
Li Liqun stills
Li Liqun is different from many veteran actors. They tend to cherish their feathers very much and have very high requirements for scripts.
Li Liqun is not like that. Although he has made many good works, he shoots 6 or 7 movies a year, and he can play the leading role or a small supporting role.
But his habit of taking on roles without reading the script as long as he has time and the pay is right has led him to make a lot of bad movies.
Some viewers criticized him for having no bottom line as a human being. He was even criticized as "the most unprincipled Jinzhong Shidi in ".
Li Liqun believes that whether the film is good or not is a matter for the production unit and the director, and is beyond the control of the actors. As an actor, as long as you accept this role, you must try your best to play him well.
Looking back, in those bad movies, the characters played by Li Liqun were the only bright spots in the whole movie.
speaks pure Beijing Mandarin and his superb acting skills made many viewers mistakenly think that he is an actor of Beijing People's Art .
Although Li Liqun is usually very kind to others, he is also a person who cannot tolerate things that he doesn't like and dares to be tough.
李 Liqun
When Li Liqun received an announcement in Taipei in 2011, he was called a "drama master" by the production unit, which made him a little restless. He said:
"Is this how master is used indiscriminately? With superb virtues and profound Taoism, a His words and deeds are so inspiring that he deserves to be called a master! "
and strongly requested the production company to remove the title of "master". Li Liqun told the truth when reporters asked whether Li Ao was worthy of being a master.
He said : "Only a lunatic would call himself that, without thinking about his moral integrity. Young people today always say that Master Li is a chivalrous and righteous man, but Li Ao is a fake moralist. He scolds those who don't fight back. Some If he can scold the Bamboo Union Gang, he is afraid that if he scolds the Bamboo Union Gang, his hands and feet will be cut off ."
As soon as this statement came out, it triggered a storm of public opinion. You must know that Li Ao is not a good person. He is very sharp and can criticize countless people. Most people are afraid that it will be too late to hide from him, but Li Liqun dares to fire at him.
I am afraid that reporters all over the world will rush to interview Li Ao himself about this matter.
Unexpectedly, Li Ao said: "Li Liqun's definition of master is correct. Others cannot use it. Only I, Li Ao, can be called a master."
's words not only consolidated his position, but also cleverly avoided conflicts.
It seems that Master Li is not a random person, but only people who don't like him or can't understand him.

Conflicts outside are inevitable, but conflicts at home are unknown.
Li Liqun, a filial person, has been living with his parents since he got married. He always feels that it is convenient to take care of his parents as they get older.
’s wife Lin Liqin became pregnant with her eldest son soon after getting married, and had to quit her job teaching painting in school. With the frequency of having one child every two years, the birth of two sons and one daughter made this talented woman have no choice but to put down her painting brush. , became a housewife.
Li Liqun
Li Liqun has been working hard outside and ignored everything at home. Every time I come home and see my kind mother, virtuous wife, son and daughter, and harmonious family atmosphere, I feel very happy.
It wasn't until his 91-year-old mother passed away that Li Liqun learned from his wife that her mother was very kind to him as long as Li Liqun came home.
Li Liqun was not at home and made all kinds of difficulties for his daughter-in-law. However, Li Liqun's wife, in order to let her husband work peacefully outside, endured all the accusations against her mother-in-law.
After hearing this, Li Liqun's first reaction was: "I almost fainted." He didn't believe that his usually kind-hearted mother could be so good at acting. He said that Mom's acting skills could win an Oscar.
Shidai was so impressed by his wife's forbearance that he couldn't help but praise her: "You are amazing."
In Li Liqun's eyes, his wife is undoubtedly the "benefactor" of his family. Now all I have to do with my wife is make her happy.
Lin Liqin
Li Liqun, who had just arrived in mainland China for filming, was in the prime of his life, and there were many messy things in the crew. Li Liqun saw all this.
After living with his wife for many years, he also had the desire to cheat.
He said: "When first came to the mainland, I also wanted to have an affair. Who could bear that kind of loneliness! Whenever I had this idea, I gave up the idea as soon as I walked out."
Thinking about it now, he is glad that he was He withstood the temptation without betraying his wife's feelings.
Thinking about how my wife has not only sacrificed her own bright future for so many years, but also had to endure the loneliness of her husband's absence, she has single-handedly educated her children well and fulfilled her filial piety. She can only do more to love her in the rest of her life. Only if she is kind can she repay her wife's kindness.
Li Liqun and his wife
Now Li Liqun’s half-brother Li Jianyu has passed away. The eldest brother Li Jianyu has two children, a son and a daughter.
Li Liqun would go back to his hometown to stay for a few days every year. Every time he returned to the village, he would stay at the home of his nephew Li Dongfeng. Li Dongfeng is still the party branch secretary of the village.
This time the epidemic in Shanghai is coming fiercely, Li Liqun and his daughter are trapped at home. Although he is rich, it can be seen from his daily thoughts that the discs and behaviors of each meal are not even the vegetable scraps. It left him with a lot of points in the audience's mind. As a celebrity,
conveys a citizen’s real diary of the city’s lockdown. He hopes that Shanghai can successfully fight the epidemic and get through the difficulties as soon as possible! come on!
