In the first decade of the last century, the entertainment industry was a lively stage, and stars from all walks of life competed like gods. Among them, there are many well-known old drama bones, which were popular with half the sky back then. And in this bright starry sky, there is a young student who is in the limelight, that is Zhou Lijing. He not only has a handsome appearance that conforms to the national aesthetic, but also has a natural talent for acting, so he became one of the most popular actors in the 80s.
However, just when the wind and water were rising, Zhou Lijing chose to leave the screen at the peak of his career, which makes people wonder, what kind of story is hidden behind this?
Zhou Lijing was born in 1954 in a family of performing arts in Beijing. His father was a member of the General Political Drama Troupe, and he was influenced by good performances since he was a child. Under the influence of his father, he developed a keen interest in acting and received extensive basic training. His tall figure and handsome appearance laid a solid foundation for his acting career.
At the age of 17, Zhou Lijing was successfully admitted to the Gansu Repertory Theatre and became the key training object of the troupe. In the past six years, he has continued to hone his acting skills and has become the mainstay of the troupe with his outstanding acting strength. However, he was not satisfied with this and was eager to show his talent on a bigger stage.
In 1978, he decided to apply for the Beijing Film Academy, and although he was two years older than the admissions requirements, he was not intimidated by this obstacle, but was successfully admitted to Nortel with his excellent performance and rich acting experience. During his time at Nortel, he became one of the high-profile students in the school with his outstanding performance and years of accumulation.
In 1983, Zhou Lijing played an unforgettable role in the movie "Life", which won widespread praise and recognition. This film not only won many awards, but also ushered in a new peak in his acting career.
In 1984, he and Tang Guoqiang became the two high-profile tough guy stars at that time, and both played the role of Zhao Mengsheng in "Garland Under the Mountain", but in the eyes of the audience, Zhou Lijing's performance was more popular. With his outstanding performance strength, he won the Best Actor Award at the 2nd Golden Eagle Awards, and sat firmly on the throne of the first-line students in the 80s.
In 1985, his outstanding performance in the TV series "Rising Star" caused a sensation again, establishing his powerful position in the film and television industry. Since then, his film appointments have continued, and his career has been in full swing.
However, on July 6, 1994, Zhou Lijing's wife was robbed and died at the age of 38. The wife is the first heroine in "Silk Road Flower Rain", and her beautiful dancing is still talked about today. This sudden tragedy plunged Zhou Lijing into great pain and self-blame. After the death of his wife, he temporarily put aside his acting career and shifted his focus to education, only occasionally taking on some supporting roles that did not have to travel far to allow more time to take care of his young daughter.
However, the difficulties did not end there. In 2003, his father took him to court over alimony, and although the court did not support it, the matter took a toll on his reputation.
Today, Zhou Lijing is a septuagenarian, but he is still active in the career he loves. He works as a professor at the Beijing Film Academy to pass on his acting spirit and skills to the next generation. In 2014, he was named the most popular teacher at the Beijing Film Academy, which was the icing on the cake for his educational career.
Zhou Lijing's story tells us that life is like a play, and acting skills and emotions are equally exciting. After the scenery, he chose perseverance and self-growth, and pursued the extraordinary in the ordinary. Today, he uses his residual heat to shine on young people, and has become a well-respected and remembered old artist.
