When it comes to Xie Jin, people in the circle may be thunderous, but people outside the circle may not be impressed. Not to mention anything else, Xie An, a famous politician in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is his ancestor, and Xie Jin is the fifty-third generation. He is even more powerful in that he is known as China's "Godfather of Film".
It can be said that he has become popular in most of the entertainment industry. Liu Xiaoqing, Zhao Wei, Fan Bingbing and other big-name actors were all brought out by Xie Jin.
Xie Jin has made 36 movies, and he takes out one at random, all of which are household names. Last year's popular "Wrangler" on Douyin, Liu Xiaoqing's masterpiece "Furong Town", and the Vietnamese self-defense counterattack "Garland Under the Mountain" starring the white-faced student Tang Guoqiang were all written by Xie Jin.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a master, and he has reached a point where no one can match him in his career, and he has won numerous awards at home and abroad. But sadly, he gave birth to 4 children, 3 disabled, and one died before himself. Xie Jin in life was tortured.
Yu Qiuyu also lamented that he had created an independent and huge art world in China, but when he returned home, it was a world that ordinary people could not imagine.
The Xie family has an ancestral precept, and the younger generations have been cautiously abiding by it, that is: The children of the Xie family must not be reduced to drama and must not get involved in **. But Xie Jin has been obsessed with acting since he was a child!In the end, despite the opposition of his parents, he went to the road of film. His directorial career can be said to be the foundation of Chinese cinema, starting from "Blue Bridge Club", he has led Chinese cinema all the way.
While at the Sichuan National Art School, he met his wife, Xu Dawen. Two souls full of artistic passion met at a drama rehearsal, discussing the character setting of the script and the art of performance. In the end, they naturally entered the palace of marriage.
In 1947, their first daughter, Xie Qingqing, was born, and Xie Jin, who was a first-time father, felt very happy. But as time went on, they found that Qingqing had problems with her verbal expression, and only after an examination at the hospital did they know that she had a problem with her intelligence.
The overture to the tragedy has just begun, and the next three acts are even more tragic than the last. Although their second child, Xie Yan, is normal, Xie Yan's later fate is sad. Xie Yan inherited Xie Jin's mantle and became a director, but he died of liver cancer at the age of 59. The white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and Xie Jin's heart was about to break.
Xie Jin's third child, Xie Jianqing, also showed intellectual disability in the process of growing up, and his fate followed him. The youngest son, Xie Jiaqing, not only suffers from intellectual disability, but also suffers from epilepsy and needs a lot of medication every day to maintain his life.
In his later years, Xie Jin slowly realized that the tragedy of all this stemmed from his bad habits, especially excessive alcoholism. His obsession with wine was once evident in one challenge. In the drinking competition with the Japanese director, he drank a bottle of liquor, which scared the Japanese director into running away.
However, Xie Jin did not realize until his deathbed that his bad habits turned out to be the cause of the child's mental retardation and illness. The expert's medical examination report clearly pointed out that the child's condition was directly related to Xie Jin's drinking habits. This harrowing truth plunged him into deep remorse and remorse. His dream family ended up being the deepest sore spot of his life.
While Xie Jin pursues his dreams, he ignores the importance of family. His alcoholic habits not only threatened his own health, but also led to family tragedy. He has been looking for a solution to his child's illness, but to no avail. His remorse and self-reproach followed, but he could not recover the lost time.
Xie Jin's story is a profound reflection and cautionary tale. While pursuing personal career success, we should not neglect our responsibilities to our families. Bad habits can not only harm individuals, but also cause irreversible damage to families. Family is the harbor of life, and career is only part of it. In the process of chasing our dreams, we should always keep an eye on our family and stay away from bad behaviors that may harm ourselves and our families.
Xie Jin's life is like a legendary movie, he left a strong mark on his career, but he suffered a heavy price in his family life. His story reminds us that success should not be defined only in career, but in finding a balance between the warmth and happiness of family. While chasing dreams, cherishing the people in front of you and protecting the family may be the most precious achievements in life.
