Ge Cunzhuang and his wife in his youth).
Ge You's ancestral home is Hengshui, Hebei Province, born in Beijing on April 19, 1957, his father Ge Cunzhuang is a famous performing artist, and his mother Shi Wenxin was a literary editor of Beijing Film Studio before retiring.
Ge Cunzhuang was called "Lao Ga" by his colleagues, and everyone called Ge You "Xiao Ga".
Ge You was born prematurely, weighing less than 5 pounds when he was born in Beijing Tiantan Hospital, and his face was wrinkled, like an ugly duckling. This is mainly due to the fact that her mother Shi Wenxin suffered from neurasthenia after pregnancy, often insomnia, poor appetite, and weighed only 79 pounds.
Ge You was very introverted as a child, and at the age of 3, he began to attend full nursery school, and only saw his parents 52 Sundays a year.
Ge You and his sister Ge Jia).
He has a younger sister named Ge Jia, and the brother and sister are 5 years apart. When Ge You was 12 years old, his parents were sent to work at the Ministry of Culture's Wuqi Cadre School in Xianning, Hubei Province, and he began to take care of his sister at home, cooking for his sister, and protecting her from bullying.
In 1976, after graduating from the High School Affiliated to Beijing Medical University, Ge You was sent to the Xiangtun Brigade of Xingshou Commune, Changping County, on the outskirts of Beijing. He was emaciated, and the production captain arranged for him to feed the pigs.
In 1978, the national college entrance examination was resumed, and his parents suggested that Ge You take the college entrance examination, but he wanted to be an actor and was very persistent. Ge You applied for the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, ** Experimental Theater, and Youth Art Theater, but he was not admitted.
In the entanglement, Ge You was ready to continue to return to the production team to feed the pigs. But the night before leaving, someone told Ge You that the All-China Federation of Trade Unions Art Troupe was recruiting students, and Ge You decided to try again.
During the exam, Ge You recited his chosen essay "A Bright Red Invitation", sang a song, and was lucky to be admitted to the cadet class of the ACFTU Art Troupe.
According to the national policy at that time, the ACFTU Art Troupe recruited working young people in Beijing. At this time, Ge You's production team had two units to dignitaries: one was a factory that assembled bicycles, and the other was a storage and transportation company of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Materials.
After discussing with his parents, Ge You chose the latter unit. Who knew that a few days later, the ACFTU Art Troupe changed the direction of enrollment: it only recruited educated youths who were in the rural areas.
Young Ge You) Ge You cried when he learned about it, and his father accompanied him to the Street Educated Youth Office to get the file. Knowing that Ge You's file had not yet come, the staff was very kind, so they asked the storage and transportation company of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Materials to return the file to the Educated Youth Office.
For this reason, Ge Cunzhuang went to the storage and transportation company several times to negotiate, and finally they agreed to release the people. In this case, the ACFTU Art Troupe went to the Street Educated Youth Office to go through the transfer procedures for Ge You.
Ge You has never studied acting, and has been running in the unit for 10 years, starring in films such as "Midsummer and Her Fiancé" and "Daughter of the Mountain". After watching it, his parents and sister felt that Ge You's performance was very stiff and not suitable for being an actor.
It wasn't until 1988 that Ge You starred in "The Stubborn Master", and the performance was enlightened.

In 1987, Ge You and He Cong got married in Beijing. He Cong is an art teacher in an elementary school, and his parents are intellectuals, handsome and educated.
When Ge You got married, it happened that his sister went to study in Germany at her own expense, and the family was financially tight, so Ge You only set up 3 tables in a single hotel in Xidan, spending less than 500 yuan.
After marriage, Ge You and his wife never had children, and when their parents gave birth, Ge You said: We are finished with children. The parents were in a hurry, but Ge You was impatient: You don't care about my business.
Old man Shi Wenxin regretted it very much in his old age, if they were forced to give birth like some parents back then, Ge You might have one or two children.
After becoming famous, Ge You didn't have a little shelf, he loved fish, spicy food, and especially fried noodles. He Cong is not good at cooking, and often cooks noodles for Ge You to eat at home. Ge You was tired of eating, so he bought vegetables and cooked by himself.
Ge Jia with her husband and daughter).
Ge You's younger sister Ge Jia is also very good, after graduating from high school, she was admitted to the Department of Philosophy of Peking University, and in 1987, she went to Germany to study at her own expense for a postgraduate degree in language and literature.
During Ge Jia's study abroad, she met an international student surnamed Yu who went to China, and the two fell in love and later got married in the United States.
The parents gave Ge Jia 2,000 yuan, but no one went. Ge Jia's in-laws did not come to the United States, and the couple received a marriage certificate, and then took a group photo, and they became husband and wife.
After marriage, Ge Jia gave birth to a son and a daughter one after another. Ge You and his wife have no children of their own, but they are very good to their sister's children. When Ge Jia brought a pair of children back to China to visit relatives, Ge You and his wife often took the children out to eat delicious food and buy them clothes and shoes.
Ge Jia's two children ranked the people in their grandmother's family: aunt He Cong was the best, uncle Ge You was second, grandma was third, and grandpa was last.
Ge You and his wife He Cong celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary).
In the eyes of outsiders, Ge You and He Cong are a loving couple, but in fact, the couple often quarrel at home. Ge You's mother and sister wrote in their autobiography "All Caught Up": Ge You has a unique view of husband and wife quarrels: husband and wife must quarrel in order to get by. He Cong and I quarrel every once in a while, and we only quarrel when we care about each other, and it will be bad if the husband and wife don't quarrel.
He Cong and I quarreled, but never to the point of viciousness. I also mentioned: If you make trouble again, you will leave! We have been able to get by until now, but we have quarreled and quarreled out of feelings.
Ge You won the Best Actor Award at the Hundred Flowers Award for Popular Films 3 times, and his parents and sister are his fans. Every time they won the award, they would buy back "Popular Movie" and vote for Ge You as an ordinary audience.
Ge You bowed early, and some reporters called him an "ugly star", but in fact, Ge You's facial features are in the right proportion, and he is not ugly.
Ge You) Ge You has a deep relationship with his sister, and every time his sister returns to China, he has to go to the airport to pick him up.
In 1998, He Cong returned to China for his birthday, and Ge You invited his sister to the hotel, and also invited some of his sister's classmates. Ge Jia was moved to tears, because after she married her husband, her husband had never celebrated her birthday so grandly.
Ge You has also become the pride of his parents, they didn't expect that this unhandsome, introverted and quiet son would become so famous and earn so much money.
In 2015, Ge Cunzhuang had a cerebral infarction and suffered sequelae. Ge You has been in the hospital for half a month, and his sister is far away abroad and cannot replace him, so Ge You bears this responsibility alone.
After Ge Cunzhuang's death, Ge You and his mother received friends to mourn).
On March 4, 2016, Ge Cunzhuang died of illness in Beijing at the age of 87. Before dying, the old man had tears in his eyes, regretting that he did not force his son to give birth to a boy and a girl.
After my father left, my mother's mental state was very poor. During the Spring Festival, Ge Jia wanted to come back to accompany her mother, but as soon as she left, the family of four had to go out, which was very inconvenient and too expensive.
Ge You called her sister ** and asked her not to come back during the Spring Festival.
When Ge You accompanied his mother for the New Year, the old lady was reluctant to go to the hotel for a reunion dinner, so Ge You and his wife cooked at home. He Cong is not good at cooking, so he gave Ge You a hand.
Ge You made a few dishes that his mother loved to eat, and also cooked 3 bowls of noodles. The mother had just said that it was delicious, and after a while, she was sad: If you have a child, the house will be much more lively.
Ge You and his wife glanced at each other, and their eyes were red.
Shi Wenxin is an elderly man with diabetes, and Ge You often accompanies his mother in and out of the hospital. He was also over 60 years old, and his energy and strength were not as good as before, and he was often tired and exhausted. And his friends in the circle Liang Tian and Wang Shuo all have children, and when something happens at home, there are children running around, which reduces the burden on parents.
Under the cruel reality, Ge You finally realized that he shouldn't be troublesome back then, and he should have given birth to one or two babies. If you have your own children, not only will the family be much more lively, but also if you encounter any difficulties, there will also be children who will take it for you.
If you don't take on the responsibility of raising your children when you're young, you won't be able to enjoy family life when you're old. By the time Ge You understood this, it was already too late.
Ge You's mother, Shi Wenxin).
In the following years, Ge You has been taking care of his sick mother and fulfilling the greatest responsibility of a filial son. And Ge You also has a godson, he is Fu Biao's son Fu Zien.
Ge You and Fu Biao are hardcore brothers, before Fu Biao died of liver cancer in 2005, Ge You promised him: Biaozi, you can rest assured, I will take care of Zien for you.
After Fu Biao's death, Ge You has been financially supporting Fu Zien.
In 2010, Fu Zien graduated from high school and originally wanted to be an actor like his parents, but Ge You felt that Fu Zien was average-looking and fat, and was not suitable for being an actor, so he suggested that Fu Zien take the directing department.
Ge You and Fu Zien).
Fu Zien respected Ge You's opinion and was admitted to the directing department of Beijing Film Academy. In 2014, after graduating from Fu Zien University, Ge You introduced Fu Zien to the crew several times as an assistant director and scene recorder to exercise his abilities in all aspects.
In 2016, Fu Zien independently directed the suspense comedy "Stop! After the release of "Don't Run", it was widely acclaimed. Fu Zien won the Best Director Award at the 2nd China International Youth Film Festival.
When the film was released, Ge You went to stand on the platform for Fu Zien and sent him flowers, just like a father treats his son.
Ge You at the funeral).
In December 2022, Shi Wenxin unfortunately passed away in Beijing at the age of 94. Since then, there are only two people left in the family, Ge You and He Cong, and two cats.
Both parents have passed away, and his sister's family is far away in the United States, and it is rare to see each other once a year, and Ge You feels lonely. In order to release his father's love, Ge You sowed all his love to his godson Fu Zien.
Fu Zien, who was born in 1991, is 32 years old this year and is still unmarried and single. The biological mother Zhang Qiufang often urges marriage, hoping that her son will get married and have a baby as soon as possible.
Ge You and Fu Zien will also urge marriage when they reunite. In view of the fact that many young people are reluctant to have babies, when Ge You communicates with Fu Zien, he will tell about his regret of not having a baby back then, and hopes that Fu Zien will have a positive attitude towards life and get married and have children as soon as possible.
Fu Zien) Fu Zien lost his father at an early age and has deep feelings for Ge You, he said that he will respect Ge You's opinion and make his future life complete!
However, Fu Zien is very busy with work, has his own life circle, and has to be filial to his mother, so he has very little time to spend with Ge You.
Ge You spends most of his time at home with his wife. Coming to this point, it is mainly caused by Ge You, He Cong wanted to have a child back then, but Ge You was unwilling to give birth.
Ge You, who has entered old age, often cooks for his wife, and sometimes he is inexplicably irritable while doing it in the kitchen. Then he said to his wife with red eyes: If you quarreled with me back then and insisted on having a baby, we would not be in this situation now.
Ge You and his wife He Cong).
Ge You's recent photo) He Cong said to his husband: It's useless to regret it, we can only face the reality and live our lives well. After speaking, He Cong's eyes also turned red.
Ge You, who is 66 years old this year, lives in a villa, with superior economic conditions and good physical condition, but his life in his later years is not satisfactory, and he has loss and regret in his heart. There is no baby, which makes it difficult for Ge You and his wife in their later years to let go!
