"The peony flower dies, and the ghost is also romantic. ”
The 98th edition of "Water Margin" is known as a classic, as it is said, "the classic is celebrated".
The actors in the play often become the focus of heated discussions among the audience.
The role of "Ximen Qing" played by Li Qiang makes people hate it even more when they see it.
Li Qiang is a greedy and lustful bad guy in the play, and he has always had crooked thoughts about the married woman Pan Jinlian.
However, he behaves very upright and kind in real life, and can be called a good man.
Although no one dared to marry him because of the reputation of "Ximen Qing", once he married his wife, he doted on his wife and held her in the palm of his hand.
What is his current living situation?
Li Qiang became famous in 1998 for playing the role of "Ximen Qing" in "Water Margin".
The handsome and dashing son met a beautiful woman who was charming and moving;
From that moment on, "one eye can wear a thousand years".
In fact, during the interview process for recruiting actors from "Water Margin";
At that time, Li Qiang could choose two roles: "Lin Chong" and "Ximen Qing".
Li Qiang prefers to play the role of Lin Chong.
However, when the director saw Li Qiang, a sentence involuntarily came to his mind:
Pang Er has a face like Zhang Sheng, and Maung Er is as ...... as Pan An
Isn't he the "Ximen Qing" who came out of the book?
Li Qiang realized at this moment that he needed a chance to prove himself.
After a short period of thought, Li Qiang finally made a decision that he wanted to challenge himself.
After the decision, Li Qiang read the famous books day and night, not only that;
In order to better interpret this role, he also consulted a lot of information about that era.
With Li Qiang's unremitting efforts, his hard work finally paid off;
With Ximenqing, he successfully became famous in one fell swoop.
Later, there were also many actors such as Shan Liwen , Du Chun, etc. who played Ximen Qing; Even though.
Only Li Qiang is called a classic.
They managed to play the most successful roles in history, "Ximen Qing" and "Pan Jinlian".
Although it brought him great prestige, it also caused considerable trouble in his later life.
The role of "Ximen Qing" really left a deep impression.
As a result, almost all the characters who asked him to act were villains later.
He originally planned to play the role of a villain to change his image, but unexpectedly fell into another predicament.
In "I'm Not a Hero", Li Weicheng is a mysterious character.
In ** "My Name is Wang Land", Huang Jinxiu is a domineering character.
In "Breaking the Game", Jin Yuting is a ruthless character ......
However, the most devastating thing about Li Qiang is;
His lustful behavior indirectly led to no one daring to marry him.
As soon as they saw Li Qiang, those girls felt that he was also an unreliable person in real life.
Li Qiang has not been able to find a girlfriend for a long time.
Even the girls didn't want to say a few more words to him.
"Ximenqing" was once used to refer to scumbags and negative men.
Not only that, once when Li Qiang was walking by the river;
An old man suddenly walked up to him and criticized and educated him.
Li Qiang felt depressed about such "treatment", and his heart was even more mixed.
If I had known that I would be in this situation, I would have given him another chance.
Will he take the stage again to perform "Water Margin"?
Li Qiang was born in 1960 to a working-class family in Yantai, Shandong.
He also has an older sister, and the reason why Li Qiang chose the path of acting is closely related to his sister.
Li Qiang was passionate about playing basketball as a child and has an indescribable affection for professions like athletes and soldiers.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to disobey the will of God.
He was always actively involved in the selection process, but often regretted that he had not been selected.
Why not consider taking advantage of your looks and trying your hand at becoming an actor?
His sister's words awakened his heart, so Li Qiang began to move towards the field of acting.
After graduating from high school, Li Qiang was admitted to the Railway Repertory Theatre.
Li Qiang worked very hard in the days of the repertory troupe.
He diligently studied the knowledge related to acting, which laid a solid foundation for his future acting career.
Li Qiang was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy in 1980.
During his college years, Li Qiang became more and more passionate about performing arts.
He is determined to achieve outstanding results in the entertainment industry with his own efforts.
However, things didn't go as smoothly as he expected.
In the years after Li Qiang graduated, he once faced the dilemma of having no drama to film.
He was too delicate, so he got to the bottom of it.
At that time, in general, the directors were not interested in the "cream boy".
Li Qiang clearly falls into this type.
Li Qiang did not choose to give up and faced such a dilemma.
To focus on each role, not just on the surface, but to put your heart and soul into it, and portray it more deeply.
He is no longer so "picky", as long as there is a scene, he will follow.
Even with only two minutes of playing time, he had to make the most of that short scene.
It wasn't until 1984 that he was once again favored by Lady Luck.
Li Qiang participated in the movie "Girl and Guy is in the Year" in this year.
Because of this drama, his career began to gradually usher in a turnaround.
In the years that followed, although there were also scripts that came to the door;
The reason why he plays some "good old guy" roles is mainly because of his appearance.
As time passed, Li Qiang began to feel that such an approach was very inappropriate;
An actor can only play the same kind of role, which is a great limitation for him.
He set out to find a villain to expand his performance.
It wasn't until 1998 that Li Qiang was found by the director of "Water Margin".
He realized that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally appeared.
With the broadcast of "Water Margin", Li Qiang also became popular for playing "Ximen Qing".
This can also be understood as "seeing a rainbow through wind and rain".
He is already 37 years old.
He never expected that the filter of "Ximen Qing" would affect his daily life.
He is about to turn half a hundred years old, but he is still alone, and it can be said that he is tied up by "Ximen Qing".
Li Qiang originally thought that he would be lonely for the rest of his life.
Soon after, he met the girl with whom he would spend the rest of his life.
Li Qiang met a girl named Li Shu at a party in the circle.
She didn't dislike him like others because she had played "Ximen Qing".
On the contrary, they talked happily with each other, and Li Qiang's originally silent heart gradually swelled up.
The two fell in love with each other and came together naturally.
Li Qiang married his girlfriend Li Shu in 2008.
He has passed the age of fifty, and finally ushered in his own happiness.
After Li Qiang got married, he gave all his favor to his wife Li Shu.
No matter how busy he was at work, he never forgot his wife, who worked hard at home.
He was always able to spare precious time to spend with his wife, and the relationship between the two was even deeper than before marriage.
Their love crystallization was born in 2012.
Li Qiang finally welcomed his first child at the age of 52, and you can imagine the joy in his heart.
Li Qiang gave his son a name - Li Yuncong, hoping that he would be healthy and intelligent.
He was convinced in his heart that his wife's contribution was no less than his own.
If I hadn't met my wife, I might still be alone at the moment.
In order to celebrate his son's 100th birthday banquet, and also to thank his wife for her hard work.
Li Qiang held a grand party and invited many celebrities to come to participate in the grand event.
Li Qiang has achieved fruitful results in love and career, which is enviable.
He has long ceased to be obsessed with the definition of the role in his mind, whether it is a "good guy" or a "villain".
All he received was an affirmation from the audience.

Through his own efforts, he presented a variety of different images to the audience.
Li Qiang starred in the costume drama "Celebrating More Than Years" in 2019.
As soon as this drama came out, it caused widespread discussion.
When people see the talkative, calm, decisive and capable host in the play;
Whether it is still the "Ximen Qing" in my memory, I began to have doubts and couldn't help it.
Li Qiang has just the right amount of control over these two people with very different personalities.
His three-point acting skills have been fully proven because of this.
Li Qiang announced in May 2023 that he would star in "Celebrating More Than Years 2" again.
