mentions "Sister Xiaopin", the first thing everyone thinks of is Song Dandan, but in fact there is another female star who also has a certain status in the sketch world. Her popularity and strength are not inferior to Song Dandan's at all. She is Gao Xiumin.
debuted for many years, Gao Xiumin brought countless joys to everyone, especially the skit with Zhao Benshan, which is even more unforgettable. However, Gao Xiumin, who is popular in her career, is controversial in her life. Lived with a married man for 14 years, turned against Zhao Benshan, died early at the age of 46, and failed to reconcile with Zhao Benshan until his death.
what happened between them? Why did Gao Xiumin intervene in other people's marriages, and why did she turn against Zhao Benshan?
Gao Xiumin was born in Fuyu City, Songyuan City, Jilin Province in 1959. She has 8 brothers and sisters. Although she is the youngest child in the family, she did not receive much love. In addition, the family was poor at the time and often could not eat enough. Gao Xiumin is very thin.
When she was 15 years old, Gao Xiumin began to sing Errenzhuan with a local folk group. At the age of 18, she was recruited into the propaganda team of the urban refinery. But this is not Gao Xiumin's dream, she has always dreamed of being admitted to a formal art troupe and becoming a real actor.
In 1978, Gao Xiumin actively enrolled in the regular group recruitment in the city. Although her strength was recognized by the group, she was not admitted because she was too thin.
At this time, Gao Xiumin was already 19 years old, and at that time, she had already reached the age to talk about marriage. Therefore, like many girls, at the urging of her parents, Gao Xiumin married her first husband, Li Yunqi, and gave birth to her daughter Li Xuan after marriage.
Although married, Gao Xiumin never gave up her dream of becoming an actress. After marriage, she applied for the theater troupe again. With her loud voice and outgoing personality, she was finally admitted successfully. Because of her loud singing, Gao Xiumin is also known as "Little Guo Lanying".
With a positive working attitude and super professional ability, Gao Xiumin became the deputy head of the art troupe not long after. In 1986, she also won the title of national second-class actor. That year, she was just 27 years old.
At this time, Gao Xiumin had a successful career, a stable marriage, and a lovely daughter. She thought she would live happily ever after, but unexpectedly, the appearance of a man disrupted her life. For this man, she not only quit her job, but also got the reputation of being a mistress. He is He Qingkui.
He Qingkui used to be a fisherman, but he likes to write in his spare time, and his writing skills are not bad. In fact, when Gao Xiumin was 18 years old, she had starred in He Qingkui's work "Two Rings", but at that time the two were not familiar at all, they just knew each other.
One day in 1989, Gao Xiumin went to the street to sell vegetables, and met He Qingkui who was selling vegetables. Gao Xiumin knew that He Qingkui was very talented, so seeing him selling vegetables on the side of the road inevitably made her feel distressed. So she went up to He Qingkui and said, "Brother He, you know how to write so well, why don't you write something?"
She also told He Qingkui that if the script was accepted by her troupe, she would give him 200 yuan For the manuscript fee, if the performance is performed, an additional 200 yuan will be paid for the first performance.
200 yuan was already very attractive to He Qingkui, who sells vegetables, so he gave up selling vegetables and began to concentrate on writing. Soon, he wrote a sketch "Who Marries Who". Although the work was available and was accepted with the help of Gao Xiumin, everyone looked down on He Qingkui who sells vegetables, so no one wanted to act in it.
No way, Gao Xiumin decided to act in person, unexpectedly this work was not only welcomed by everyone, but also won the first prize.
The success of this performance made Gao Xiumin and He Qingkui feel a sense of sympathy for each other. After that, the two began to formally cooperate, one to write and the other to perform. As the cooperation became closer and closer, the relationship between the two gradually changed. In 1991, the two officially developed into a relationship of lovers.
However, there is a very real problem in front of them,That is, they are both married and have children. If two people with families are together, it is conceivable that they will be ridiculed. In order to be with He Qingkui, Gao Xiumin divorced her husband without hesitation, and then lived alone with her daughter.
Here, Gao Xiumin divorced happily, but He Qingkui did not go so smoothly. His wife's name is Zhang Yanru, an educated youth sent to the countryside. After their marriage, they gave birth to two sons and one daughter. When He Qingkui was the poorest, Zhang Yanru not only stayed by his side, never leaving him, but also supported him. 3 children were born.
But in order to be with Gao Xiumin, He Qingkui still ruthlessly filed for divorce with his wife. Facing this "strange" husband in front of him, Zhang Yanru's heart was broken like a knife. She cried and said to He Qingkui, "Let's go, I won't divorce. I want to guard the house and the children, and you can come back whenever you want."
Despite his wife's begging, He Qingkui still had a headache He left without returning, abandoned his wife and 3 children, and started living together with Gao Xiumin for 14 years without divorce.
With He Qingkui creating for herself, Gao Xiumin thought twice, resigned from the theater troupe, and became an individual actor. In 1992, Gao Xiumin took He Qingkui's sketch "Burden" to Shenzhen to participate in the National Sketch Contest. Unexpectedly, she won the gold medal in the end.
The performance went well this time, making Gao Xiumin famous, and she also received an invitation from CCTV Spring Festival Gala. In 1994, Gao Xiumin won the third prize at the Spring Festival Gala for her skit "Password". In 1997, she appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala again, and co-starred in the sketch "Dark Willows and Bright Flowers" together with Wei Ji'an.
At this time, Gao Xiumin has already gained a firm foothold in the comedy world, and her relationship with He Qingkui is getting deeper and deeper. However, although Gao Xiumin's reputation continued to increase, there was one person she was always worried about, and that was He Qingkui's wife, Zhang Yanru.
It turned out that Gao Xiumin, who was carefree on the surface, was also very kind and generous in her heart. She knew that Zhang Yanru had given up a lot in order to fulfill herself and He Qingkui, so whenever she had time, she would go back to visit with He Qingkui. Not only did she bring gifts to the children, but she also left a large sum of money for Zhang Yanru every time.
Facing such a generous and kind Gao Xiumin, Zhang Yanru couldn't tell whether it was gratitude or resentment. In 1995, she took the initiative to find He Qingkui and filed for divorce. Unexpectedly, He Qingkui disagreed this time. He said, "I'm sorry for you. I can't give you anything. I can't even take away your marriage. I will never divorce you." A life of "peaceful coexistence".
Soon after, Gao Xiumin and He Qingkui got to know Zhao Benshan through someone's introduction. I don't know if it's a coincidence, or it's the same with the stars in the entertainment circle. At that time, Zhao Benshan had just become famous, and after becoming famous, he abandoned his original partner Ge Shuzhen and married Ma Lijuan, a female teacher who was 8 years younger than him.
Because they are both from the Northeast, plus they are both comedians, Zhao Benshan and Gao Xiumin have a feeling that they have met each other, especially He Qingkui, Zhao Benshan admires his talent very much. The skit "Red Sorghum Model Team" starring Zhao Benshan needed to be revised, but at that time the screenwriter couldn't come due to emergency. In a hurry, he thought of He Qingkui. Unexpectedly, the sketch was revised very successfully by He Qingkui. After that, Zhao Benshan started a long-term cooperation with He Qingkui and Gao Xiumin.
In 1998, Zhao Benshan, Gao Xiumin and Fan Wei boarded the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala together, and performed He Qingkui's sketch "Happy New Year", which finally won the second prize.
After that, they collaborated on many sketches such as "Selling a Car", "Selling a Snatch" and "Heart Disease". These works also made Gao Xiumin and Zhao Benshan famous and established their status in the sketch world.
More than that, Zhao Benshan also invited Gao Xiumin to play the role of Lilac when filming the TV series "Liu Laogen". tacit agreement.
But careful viewers will find that sinceAfter cooperating with Zhao Benshan in the skit "Water Delivery Worker" in 2004, the two never collaborated again. It was later learned that there was a conflict between the two.
Once Gao Xiumin’s hometown Songyuan City held an event, the local leaders hoped that Gao Xiumin would go to perform, and also hoped to invite Zhao Benshan through her, Gao Xiumin readily agreed after learning about it. When the leader asked her how much she would give Zhao Benshan, Gao Xiumin said that she would prepare 200,000 yuan first, but he probably wouldn't ask for the money because of his own face.
In the end, Zhao Benshan did come to participate in the event, but when the leader gave him 200,000 yuan, he accepted it unceremoniously, which made Gao Xiumin angry and embarrassed. After the leader left, Gao Xiumin said: "Brother, you really gave me face!"
Aside from this performance, Gao Xiumin actually had a problem with Zhao Benshan for a long time because Zhao Benshan was too stingy. At the beginning Zhao Benshan and Fan Wei went out to perform together, the performance fee was 420,000 yuan, but Zhao Benshan only gave Fan Wei 7,000 yuan in the end, Gao Xiumin couldn't help but said to Zhao Benshan: "Brother, you are too dark, I only gave 7,000 yuan , you can give someone 20,000!"
Zhao Benshan said: "He has become famous here, but he still wants to make money? He wants to make money and earn it elsewhere."
Later, Gao Xiumin once went to a TV show with Fan Wei , and finally got a reward of 35,000 yuan, while Gao Xiumin kept 20,000 yuan for herself and gave Fan Wei 15,000 yuan. Unexpectedly, Zhao Benshan was very angry when he learned about it. He said to Gao Xiumin: "Give me more money, why don't you tell me? If you are like this, how can I give it in the future?"
At this time, Zhao Benshan and Gao Xiumin are getting closer and closer. stiff. But what really turned the two against each other was the next thing.
Before the Spring Festival in 2003, Gao Xiumin and Zhao Benshan prepared to rehearse the skit as usual, but one day, Gao Xiumin received a call from a good sister in Tonghua. It turned out that the sister held a performance in Tonghua, but the protagonist suddenly couldn’t come because of something. If the performance fails, she will pay 400,000 yuan in compensation. Faced with the begging of her good sister, Gao Xiumin was lucky, thinking that CCTV would not come to censor the program, so she rushed to Tonghua without even saying hello.
But it happened so coincidentally that Gao Xiumin came to review the program right after leaving the program team. Although Gao Xiumin hurried back, but because there was no rehearsal in advance, the performance was very poor. For this reason, Zhao Benshan was very angry and accused Gao Xiumin of being irresponsible at work. Although Gao Xiumin apologized, Zhao Benshan still kept accusing him. In the end Gao Xiumin said angrily: "That's how I am, use it as you want, don't pull it down!"
From then on, the relationship between the two completely froze.
In 2004, Zhao Benshan did not invite Gao Xiumin when he filmed the TV series "Marshal Ma". And in the Spring Festival Gala of the same year, Zhao Benshan performed the skit "Water Delivery Worker". In fact, it was not Gao Xiumin who was looking for at the beginning, but Song Dandan. But later Song Dandan was unable to act because of something, so Zhao Benshan had no choice but to invite Gao Xiumin. Unexpectedly, Gao Xiumin agreed to Zhao Benshan's request and participated in the performance of the sketch.
However, Gao Xiumin said in an interview: "I thank Brother Benshan for still thinking about me. If he lets me go, I will go. I will be a good green leaf and praise Zhao Benshan." .
After that, the two never collaborated again.
Gao Xiumin and Zhao Benshan parted ways, and He Qingkui naturally did not cooperate with Zhao Benshan anymore. In 2005, He Qingkui and Gao Xiumin invested in the filming of the TV series "By the Holy Water Lake". Once the show was broadcast, it was well received by everyone. In September of the same year, when the two were planning to shoot the second part, an accident happened unexpectedly.
It turned out that He Qingkui's eldest son, He Shuchun, died suddenly in a car accident. He Qingkui was distraught and hurried back to his hometown. On the other hand, Gao Xiumin contacted other members of the crew of "Sacred Water Lakeside", promising that she would not be able to shoot this year, but she would definitely shoot next year, and she would bear all the losses herself.
But what people didn't expect was that on August 18, 2005, Gao Xiumin died of a heart attack at the age of 46. On this day, only 10 days have passed since the death of He Qingkui's son.
After hearing the news of Gao Xiumin's death, Zhao Benshan hurried over. At Gao Xiumin's funeral, he cried and said, "My sister, brother is late." Regarding the conflict between the two, Zhao Benshan said: "Actually We don't have any conflicts, it's just that everyone has a bad temper and can't turn around for a while, knowing that there will be such a day, why bother?"
The saddest thing is of course He Qingkui, who lost two of his closest relatives within 10 days Man, no one can understand this kind of grief.
But there is one thing that everyone did not expect, that is, after Gao Xiumin passed away, He Qingkui returned to his hometown and reunited with his wife Zhang Yanru. Now the two of them lived an ordinary life as if nothing had happened.
Throughout Gao Xiumin's life, whether it is career or relationship, there are actually regrets. He has partnered with Zhao Benshan for many years, but in the end they turned against each other and failed to reconcile until his death. She lived with He Qingkui for 14 years, but there was no marriage contract.
It has been 17 years since Gao Xiumin passed away, and now few people mention her, but the works she starred in will always become classics in everyone's hearts.
