Wang Gang was ordered to drop out of school and wrote a letter asking for help***
Wang Gang, this name makes people think of not only Da ** and Shen, but also his versatility. For friends who are familiar with him, Wang Gang is more like a ghost.
Ghost talents usually have a character that does not yield to the world, and Wang Gang is no exception. He has shown a mischievous side since he was a child, and even received a warning from the school for "expulsion" for this.
However, it was this experience that inspired him to take the initiative to write a letter to ***, which changed his fate.
At *** school, Wang Gang is in danger of being expelled because of two outrageous things. One of them was in the summer, when he led a group of classmates to go swimming secretly, almost causing serious consequences; In the winter, he went under the heating pipe on the mezzanine floor of the classroom floor and almost caused a fire in the school building.
The school could not tolerate such behavior and decided to order Wang Gang to withdraw from the school. Although Wang Gang is a smart but mischievous "bad boy" with a poor sense of subjectivity and collectivism, his academic performance is at the top of his class.
When Wang Gang was a child, he watched the Indian feature film "The Wanderer" in the cinema for a day because he avoided studying, when he was only 10 years old, but he had a yearning for independence. This rebellious personality is common in the growth of young boys, but it is especially prominent in Wang Gang.
In the midst of loneliness and boredom, he had a bold idea, hoping to find someone to talk to. So, he decided to write a letter to ***. The content of the letter is not complicated, it just expresses his desire to exercise himself in the wind and waves and become a good boy of ***.
He also painted two watercolor paintings, one of the little white rabbit eating turnips, the other of the PLA uncle defending the motherland, and finally put a photo of himself and his sister in an envelope. On June 24, 1959, Wang Gang carefully dropped the letter into the mailbox and waited until the postman put all the letters in the mailbox into a large canvas bag.
He said that his main motivation for writing the letter was to have someone to talk to, because at that time he felt that there was no one to talk to.
When Wang Gang walked into the classroom, he suddenly received a call from the dean of teaching, and his heart was uneasy. He walked into the dean's office, saw the dean's smiling face, and thought to himself that maybe it was the scene in the movie before the convict was escorted to the execution ground, and he might be expelled from school.
However, the dean of students kindly invited him to go to the principal's office with him. When Wang first climbed the second floor, he almost fell on his heels, and he was very scared. However, the principal smiled when he saw him, took out a large brown paper envelope, and asked Wang Gang if anyone in his family was in Beijing.
The principal handed Wang Gang a seal"General Office of the Communist Party of China"A large cowhide envelope containing a letter to him. The letter wrote that the drawings and ** sent by Wang Gang's children to *** have been received, and a copy of the chairman's ** has been attached as a souvenir.
The letter also encouraged Wang Gang to study hard, exercise his body, and serve the motherland. After reading the letter, Wang Gang was excited and could not calm down.
Wang Gang, who was in elementary school, received a reply from the General Office of the Communist Party of China, and the principal decided to let him read the letter to everyone in the school's radio room. It was the first time in Wang Gang's life that he "broadcasted", when he was only ten years old.
This experience made Wang Gang have a strong interest in broadcasting. Soon after, a nature teacher came from the theater to the school, and he wrote a play called "He Changed" for Wang Gang, and asked Wang Gang to play himself.
This was Wang Gang's first time acting on stage, when he was only ten years old. Although the level of this play is not high, only two acts, it is a valuable experience for Wang Gang.
In "He Changed", Wang Gang played a mischievous child, but after the teacher told him a story about Qiu Shaoyun, he began to become obedient and sensible.
The first act depicts Wang Gang's mischievous side, and the second act shows his situation after he becomes better. Wang Gang recalled that he also made a model of the sun out of a light bulb, barbed wire and red cloth, and that birds made of water-blown porcelain would croak.
He would come to school early every morning and clean the classroom spotlessly. This play was performed many times on campus, and Wang Gang became famous because of it.
This experience allowed him to experience the charm of acting, and also laid a solid foundation for his later artistic path.
Wang Gang's life changed dramatically because of a reply letter. This letter made him realize the innocence and possibility of his child, inspired him to study hard, be disciplined, and even have the idea of becoming a diplomat when he grows up.
He taught himself college English in high school, and although he laughed at himself for not developing his backbone, it also added luster to his hosting career. His English skills even came in handy at the 1986 Spring Festival Gala, where he broadcast in English and hosted in Mandarin, Cantonese and English at the same time when performing abroad.
His sister Wang Jing was preparing to apply for the literary and artistic soldiers, and Wang Gang accompanied her to take the exam. Unexpectedly, he himself was selected to become a soldier in this exam. At that time, being a soldier was a young man's dream, and Wang Gang never thought that he would become one of them.
When Wang Gang and Wang Jing were children, Wang Jing was interviewed in the house, while Wang Gang waited anxiously outside. The examiner asked Wang Jing: "Who influenced your literary and artistic hobbies?" ”
Wang Jing replied, "My brother." Then, the examiner asked, "Is your brother a**?" Wang Jing replied, "He's outside." So Wang Gang was called in. The examiner asked Wang Gang, "What are you good at?" ”
Wang Gang asked rhetorically, "What do you want me to do?" The examiner said, "Then you can do one or two shows at will." Wang Gang recited a poem, which was "Qinyuan Spring Snow", and then sang a song, which was "The Soldiers of ** Listen to the Party's Words the Most".
After listening to Wang Gang's performance, the examiner smiled and nodded, and asked him, "Are you willing to be a soldier?" Wang Gang replied, "If I can be with my sister, I will go." The examiner agreed, so Wang Gang put on the military uniform that was the envy of his peers without any preparation, and he has been wearing it for 26 years.
After Wang Gang joined the army with his sister Wang Jing, Wang Gang was assigned to the Jelimu Military Division for training. Wang Gang is very diligent, but sometimes he can play a little trick.
For example, he always took the initiative to stand on the second shift, which required him to get up between 3 and 5 a.m., when he was in a deep sleep and it was uncomfortable to be woken up.
However, Wang Gang had a hand when he was standing guard, and he could sleep for an hour and a half in the two-hour standing guard time. When spring came, Wang Gang was transferred back to the Jilin Provincial Military District.
During a target shooting exercise, the company commander lay on Wang Gang's back to look at the crosshairs, and then asked strangely: "What are you aiming at?" "I'm aiming at a target. "What target?"
You're aiming at a tree! It turned out that Wang Gang was a big myopia, and his vision was only 0 when he took off his glasses2。He was afraid that he would be prejudiced by the student soldiers when he arrived in the army, so he took off his glasses.
Wang Gang told the company commander: "If you let me wear glasses to fight, I promise to fight well." Sure enough, Wang Gang put on his glasses and scored excellent results.
Wang Gang's way of eating in the army is completely different from that at home, and sometimes he will cause some small episodes because of "grabbing food". He is very good at grabbing food, and every time the food truck comes, he always grabs the rice bowl and does not give an inch.
He doesn't take too much in the first bowl of rice, but sprinkles some vegetable soup and eats it quickly, and then he serves the second bowl. The second bowl is more, and the bowl is so full that it looks like two bowls are combined.
At this time, he will take the bowl to the side and enjoy it slowly. Once, a group of Shandong soldiers stood by the rice car in a daze with empty bowls, and the company commander came over and asked: "What's the matter, don't eat?" ”
They replied, "No." The company commander said in surprise: "A cart of rice, gone?" They said, "They have all been eaten up by Wang Gang." As a result, Wang Gang and the others were punished to the playground and froze.
However, although they were punished, they were very satisfied, because they knew that they had eaten to their heart's content, and their stomachs were filled with two large bowls of white rice.
Wang Gang served in the military for 26 years, during which he left countless precious memories. He used to be a literary soldier, not only often participated in performances, but also served as a host. He also presided over the evening party of the World Military Sports Council in Beijing, and that day he wore a military uniform, presided over in English, and sang the song "One, Two, Three, Four" to Yan Weiwen's newspaper, and the soldiers in the audience applauded warmly, and foreign friends also praised it again and again.

With his unique artistic charm and wide popularity, Wang Gang has become a representative of the development of multi-habitat, and his works and performances are full of talent and passion, which is impressive.
In early 1995, Wang Gang took over the show "Toshiba Animal Paradise," which later became one of the most popular programs on Beijing television. Although he was not interested in this show at first, a sentence from his daughter Tingting changed him: "I have watched this show and think it is very good, you can host it." ”
So, Wang Gang just started to serve as the host of this show. He found it a smart choice, not only to be able to use his hosting skills, but also to express his emotions in a playful way.
However, Wang Gang was not a person who loved small animals when he was young. He once used to hit the neighbor's cat to vent his boredom. However, since he took over the Toshiba Animal Paradise show, his mindset has changed and he has begun to speak out about the protection of animals.
This show also gave him a deeper understanding of animals and the ecological environment.
In a 40-episode TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" in 1994, Wang Gang portrayed the most representative character in his acting career, the largest ** He Shen in Chinese history, once again showing his profound acting skills and unique performance style.
Wang Gang got the opportunity to play He Shen very accidentally. At that time, Zhang **, the producer of "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", called Wang Gang ** and invited him to play the role of He Shen in the play.
However, Wang Gang was preparing to leave the country at that time, and he was going to be away for more than a week. Unexpectedly, the crew waited for Wang Gang until he returned to China. After learning the news, Wang Gang was deeply moved and decided to take over the play.
Unexpectedly, the role of He Shen he played was a huge success, so much so that when many people mention He Shen now, the image of Wang Gang will appear in their minds.

In his spare time, what he enjoys most is drinking Erguotou and eating belly burst in the street restaurant under the Drum Tower, feeling the strong old Beijing style. He has lived in Beijing for more than 30 years since he came to record programs on ** TV in 1985, and this has become his home.
In an interview, Wang Gang lit a cigarette, and in the smoke, his narration was like telling a story, full of the ups and downs of life. "I find my life experience interesting, and every turning point is not voluntary, but fate," he said. ”
