In the summer of 2011, a TV series called "I Am a Special Soldier" was broadcast on CCTV, which instantly ignited the enthusiasm of audiences across the country. This TV series directed by Liu Meng quickly gained enthusiastic popularity among young people with its high-energy and hot-blooded plot. Among them, the image of "Xiaozhuang", a special soldier, has become a heroic dream in the hearts of countless boys.
Striking while the iron is hot, Liu Meng has created two other works of the same series one after another, which are also a double guarantee of ratings and word of mouth. In 2013, a TV series called "Special Forces Fire Phoenix" premiered on Jiangsu Satellite TV, and then was broadcast on various satellite TVs, and the ratings soared, becoming a dark horse for the whole network at that time.
Time flies like a white horse, and ten years pass in a flash. What kind of life are the female special forces who became popular because of this drama now?Among them, there is a woman named Tan Xiaolin, codenamed "Skylark", she is the instructor of the Fire Phoenix Special Combat Team and has a doctorate in psychology. She is talented, not only strong in martial arts, but also brilliant in writing. In the play, she abandoned her boyfriend she originally loved and threw herself into her deep feelings for Lei Zhan.
Tan Xiaolin's actor Cheng Su, she started from the drama stage in 1999 and gradually entered the film and television industry. Her acting career can be described as smooth sailing, in 2002 and 2006, she won wide attention from the audience with the role of "Qu Ying" in the two hit dramas "Da Division" and "Wolf Smoke". However, just when her acting career was at its peak, her life took a major hit.
In 2006, director Liu Meng was preparing to film "Sniper Life and Death", and the actor had not yet been determined. Cheng Su saw the opportunity and strongly recommended her husband Fu Chengpeng to the director. After her careful packaging and recommendation, Fu Chengpeng successfully got the opportunity to play the leading role. After Fu Chengpeng became famous overnight with this play, he received invitations from many directors, and the film appointments continued.
Seeing that her husband's career had improved, Cheng Su chose to gradually shift her focus to her family, reducing her acting work, and instead using her connections and resources to fully support her husband's development. However, in 2014, Fu Chengpeng met Hong Kong actress Zhou Liqi while filming "Undercover". Zhou Liqi has a hot body and charming appearance, and the two play a couple in the play. But the scandal spread outside the play. Although Cheng Su was convinced of her husband and thought it was just hype, 3 years later, the hype became a reality. Fu Chengpeng confessed to her that he had fallen in love with someone else and filed for divorce.
In the face of Cheng Su's bitter pleading, he still resolutely left. Fu Chengpeng, a man who was once deeply involved in the divorce turmoil, chose to leave the house in order to pursue his new life, leaving only a four-year-old child. Perhaps out of guilt in his heart, he chose to bear the burden of life alone, bearing the infamy of "negative man". As a result, his career has suffered a lot of impact, and his originally busy film appointments, advertisements, and endorsements have been significantly reduced.
And Cheng Su, for the sake of her former marriage, she gave up her career, and now she can only live alone with her children. Although she can occasionally be seen in some public welfare activities, more often, she chooses to live her life in a low-key manner.
Liu Xiaojie, played Ye Cunxin in "I Am a Special Soldier", left a deep impression on the audience. Codenamed "Enemy Killing", she is a lonely and irascible female special forces sniper. In fact, her family is well-off, not only the second generation of wealth, but also the second generation of officials. And Liu Xiaojie herself is also known as the "military goddess" in the entertainment industry with her pure and lovely appearance.
The marriage between Liu Xiaojie and Xu Honghao is also a good story in the circle. The two became acquainted with each other because of the drama and entered the palace of marriage in 2009. When the first part of "I Am Special Forces" was launched, Liu Xiaojie was already the mother of the child. In "Special Forces Fire Phoenix", the two play a father and daughter. After that, Liu Xiaojie gave up part of her career for the sake of her family, and only took on one or two plays a year, and most of them were supporting roles with few scenes. Now, the two have been married for many years, and their married life is low-key and there are no scandals, and they are a model couple in the entertainment industry.
Yang Shu played He Lu, the captain of the women's special combat team codenamed "He Luxue", in "Special Forces Fire Phoenix". With a gentle temperament, she is not only an excellent military doctor, but also the leader of the women's special combat team. Although he has starred in many anti-Japanese war dramas, such as "Sword", "Jade Begonia", "Wild Mountain Eagle", "My Special One Battalion", etc., Yang Shu has never been able to become popular. Perhaps it's because there are some problems with the plot and production of these episodes that she hasn't been able to get enough attention. Despite this, Yang Shu still adheres to his acting career and strives to find employment opportunities in hundreds of anti-Japanese war dramas every year.
The last thing to talk about is Shen Lanni played by An Yaping. In the play, she is the observer of the women's special combat team codenamed "Exterminator". Although she was often provoked by Ye Cunxin in the team, she became one of the strongest players in the Fire Phoenix with her excellent fighting kung fu. Lin Han and Xu Tianyu, a skirmish that occurred inadvertently made them form an indissoluble bond. In the process of getting to know each other, they found that they had a deep respect for each other's military doctor Lin Guoliang, and this resonance made their friendship gradually warm up. As time passed, they not only became friends who talked about everything, but also slowly developed emotions beyond friendship in each other's company.
Before stepping into the film and television industry, Lin Han served as a host in the financial program of Nanjing TV, and her stability and self-confidence made her stand out among many hosts. In 2005, she officially entered the film and television industry by starring in the TV series "Golden Years". Although there are not many subsequent works, each one has given her a new breakthrough in acting. It wasn't until the broadcast of "Special Forces Fire Phoenix" that her acting career ushered in a new turn, and film appointments came one after another. She gradually emerged in military film and television works of the same theme, such as "Dances with Wolves 2", "SWAT Force" and "Army One". Every year, she devotes herself to about two film and television works, and although most of the time she is a supporting role, she always insists on speaking with her acting skills, looking forward to one day being able to shine.
However, just after 2020's "Black and White Forbidden Zone", Lin Han chose to retire. She is well aware of her pursuit and career planning, and decided to give herself a chance to precipitate and recharge. She believes that in the coming days, she will return to the screen with a better attitude.

Her sweet and cute image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially when endorsing the online game "Crossfire", and she has been warmly sought after by game fans as a female warrior "Fox Hunter".
