Unexpectedly, when Jiao Yulu's wife learned about it, she immediately waved her hand and said again and again: "No, no!" Can't let him play my husband! However, the director resolutely refused to change people.
Back in 1990, when the famous director decided to let Li Xuejian play Jiao Yulu, Jiao Yulu's wife was firmly opposed. She believes that no one can perfectly restore her husband's image and character.
The director understands her concerns, but he has full confidence in Li Xuejian. He patiently explained to Jiao Yulu's wife that Li Xuejian is an experienced actor with profound acting skills and high artistic attainments.
He believes that Li Xuejian has the ability to vividly show the spirit and image of Jiao Yulu through his own understanding and creation. In order to win the trust of Jiao Yulu's wife, Li Xuejian also made great efforts.
He began to delve into Jiao's life and read a large number of sources, including Jiao's diaries, letters, and records of his conversations with colleagues and family.
He tried to capture Jiao Yulu's personality traits and emotional world from every detail. He even went to the place where Jiao Yulu once worked and lived, communicated with the local people, and learned about their memories and feelings for Jiao Yulu.
During the preparation process, Li Xuejian learned that Jiao Yulu's wife was a very virtuous woman who supported her husband's work. She not only took care of the family, but also gave Jiao Yulu great encouragement and support when he was busy with work.

By reading Jiao Yulu's diary, Li Xuejian found that Jiao Yulu is a careful and considerate husband in life, he will write down his wife's favorite food and clothes, and even prepare surprises for his wife on special days.
These details gave Li Xuejian a deeper understanding of Jiao Yulu's love for his family and his love for his wife. Not only that, but in Lankao County, he met many colleagues who had worked with Jiao Yulu.
Through talking with them, Li Xuejian felt more truly Jiao Yulu's spirit of serving the people, as well as the tenacity and perseverance he showed in his work.
Later, during the filming, Li Xuejian almost forgot his identity and fully integrated into the role. In order to be more in line with Jiao Yulu's image, he deliberately skipped dinner on the night of the shooting, so that he could feel the fatigue and persistence of hunger.
When the camera began to turn, he interpreted the moment when Jiao Yulu tiptoed to the door of the farmer's house late at night, and the real feeling that was almost about to come out stunned everyone at the scene.
With his unparalleled acting skills and deep understanding of the role, Li Xuejian interprets Jiao Yulu's delicate and sincere emotions. His acting skills made everyone feel as if they were on the scene and felt Jiao Yulu's tenacity and dedication.
The staff present were moved by his realistic performance, and some even shed tears of emotion. The director gave Li Xuejian a very high evaluation of his performance.
