It is reported that Ji Chonggong once served as the director of the Academic Affairs Office and the Director of the Admissions Office of the Central Academy of Drama. Many artists in the circle are his students, and the world is full of peach and plum!
student Cui Yali, in addition to posting an old photo in the same frame as the head teacher 23 years ago, regretted saying, "I didn't go back to Beijing to visit you this year, and I regret that I didn't let the teacher see the homework that should have been given to him. ". In the end, she recalled "Dear Sir, you will always be by my side", a few words showed the strong friendship between teachers and students, and also reflected Ji Chonggong's position in the hearts of students.
The name Ji Chonggong may be unfamiliar to many young audiences, but I believe they must have seen his works; for example, in the old version (1994) " Romance of the Three Kingdoms ", one person played two roles as " Shixu". ", "Deng Zhi", in the new version ( Gao Xixi version) " Three Kingdoms ", he also played "Liu Biao (Liu Jingsheng)", the master of Jingzhou, and also played " Zhang Heng " in "The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties". Superb!
Ji Chonggong was born in Pingding, Shanxi in 1937. He graduated from the Performance Department of Central Academy of Drama, and then studied in the Directing Teachers Class of Central Academy of Drama. After completing his studies, he joined the Chinese Dramatists Association in 1982, specializing in the field of drama and stage play, and later crossed the film and television circle, creating many classic screen images. Since 1985, Ji Chonggong has been in charge of the recruitment of Chinese opera and served as a teacher of the performance department. Since
served as the director of the Academic Affairs Office and in charge of the admissions work of Chinese opera, Ji Chonggong has cultivated many powerful actors for the showbiz with his mind of "cherishing and cherishing talents", such as Gong Li , Shi Ke , Shi Ke , Artists such as Chen Jianbin , Li Yapeng , Sun Honglei , Zhang Jingchu , Xia Yu and other artists are all his disciples. After retiring in 1995, Ji Chonggong did not stay away from the podium of his love, but continued to play his residual heat.
The day before yesterday (11), another student of Professor Ji Chonggong also posted a message of condolences on the social network after hearing about the teacher's death. She said that after hearing the bad news, she "was silent for a whole day", and her grief was beyond words. In the long essay, the student recalled that Ji Chonggong was "one of the nobles who changed an important node in his destiny. This kindness will always be remembered in his heart, and he will not dare to forget it."
In addition, the student also posted a group photo with his teacher Ji Chonggong and his wife Zhang Jingdi three years ago (June 22, 2019). The picture is quite warm. Judging from the exposed group photos, Ji Chonggong, who was 82 years old at that time, was wearing a straw hat with a sunshade, in good spirits, tall and straight, and in good condition. Unexpectedly, two years later (2021), when the old man won the "Chinese Educator Award", his health became significantly worse. When
took the stage to accept the award, Ji Chonggong needed the support of his wife and granddaughter, and he was pale and in poor spirit. It is reported that Ji Chonggong's wife Zhang Jingdi is a famous dancer. She has worked as a body teacher in Chinese opera and participated in the design of the Spring Festival Gala stage for many times.
In fact, most people have seen Zhang Jingdi's works. She once played the role of "White Crane Fairy" in " Journey to the West ". She was 43 years old that year, but it did not prevent her from being full of fairy spirit. The "Celebrating Crane Dance" was passed down as a beautiful talk. After Zhang Jingdi married Ji Chonggong, who was 6 years older, they had two daughters. They were happy and loving. They fulfilled the promise they made when they got married, and they will never leave each other for a lifetime! (Picture source network, infringement must be deleted)
