"Life is like a white horse, fleeting.
This emotional sentence came from Ren Shuai's Weibo sharing at the end of the popular drama "Winter Night Starlight". This is not only a summary of the theme of the series, but also a deep reflection on life.
In the seven years that Ren Shuai spent in the Lanzhou Repertory Theatre in the early days, he worked silently and few people knew about it.
Until he approached the age of 30 and longed to return home to his parents, he found it difficult to even buy a train ticket. Fortunately, fate favored him, and he stepped into the television industry, and at the age of 38, a new chapter in his life ushered in - starting a family.
The young marshal who once had lofty ambitions has similarities with the "Three Rivers Overlord" in "Northeast Adventure".
Make friends and devote yourself to work, just like the dedicated "Lao Ding" in "Family Affection". He is looking forward to a day when he will become as famous as "** Emperor Zhao Guanqiu" in "Wenzhou People".
Today, at the age of 52, he is still radiant, constantly working with a new generation of actors, and sharing a good life with his "confidant" for 22 years.
In 1970, he was born in an ordinary family in Harbin, and his parents were ordinary workers. At that time, the Chinese film industry was gradually emerging, and the teenager Ren Shuai was deeply influenced by works such as "Deep Well Adventure" and "Human Ghost Love", and developed a strong interest in acting.
Although his family background is ordinary, Ren Shuai's appearance and excellent grades have won him the favor of the Performance Department of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts, and Yan Ni, who will become a star in the future, will also be enrolled with him.
After graduating, he was assigned to the Lanzhou Repertory Theatre, where he initially engaged in basic work, such as cleaning and transporting. Over time, with talent and hard work, he rose from a small role to a mainstay in the repertory theatre.
However, life is still tight, and returning home for the Chinese New Year has become a luxury. Fortunately, there are reliable friends around him, such as Yan Ni, who have reached out to help many times.
Ren Shuai stood in his thirties, understood that it was time to change the trajectory of his life, and decided to step into the film industry. This decision allowed him to reposition his skills, but with his solid acting skills, he quickly stood out.
In 2000, he began to take on the drama, and successively participated in works such as "The Eunuch's Family", "The Singing of Daqin", and "The Other Side of Heaven".
The initial response was mediocre, but it marked the beginning of a new life, and the subsequent career showed his charm and strength.
However, when his career was in full swing, he made a different decision to take on only one or two works a year. This is shocking, because in the entertainment industry, the ** rate seems to be crucial for actors.
But for Ren Shuai, the warmth of family trumps everything.
His wife Xiaohong, who has spent 22 years with him, is his confidant in life, and the two have a deep tacit understanding.
Xiaohong is not only his partner, but also his solid backing. Although the outside world has different evaluations of their married life, Ren Shuai is calm, he understands that true happiness is to walk through every day with his beloved.
When his career was in full swing, he chose to return to his hometown of Harbin to spend time with his parents.
This plain and real happy life, perhaps not everyone pursues the peak, but in Ren Shuai's view, such days are the most precious.
