In 1974, it was an era of burning passion. The red classic movie "Sparkling Red Star" was like a bright star, lighting up the night of the entire Chinese land.
That year, a little boy named Zhu Xinyun became a well-known little hero by virtue of his role as "Pan Dongzi" in the film. Time flies. Today, more than 40 years later, Zhu Xinyun has long faded out of the screen. So what is his marital status?
Zhu Xinyun: From a scholarly family to a screen star
In 1962, Zhu Xinyun was born in a scholarly family in Beijing. He was the youngest in the family and the youngest among six brothers. This family is unique because both his parents are educators who use the power of knowledge to pave the way for their children to grow.
Zhu Xinyun has been bathed in the ocean of knowledge since he was a child. His childhood was spent in the company of his brothers and the teachings of his parents. Although there are six brothers in the family, his parents did not neglect any of their children, especially the youngest Zhu Xinyun, who was deeply loved by his parents.
In this loving family, Zhu Xinyun shows unique characteristics. Not only is he cute and energetic, he is also very sensible and obedient, which makes his parents very happy.
In this warm family, there is an eldest brother Zhu Shibin who has a profound influence on him. The eldest brother embarked on the road of being a drama actor at the age of 14. This choice sowed the seeds of art in Zhu Xinyun's heart.
When he was in elementary school, Zhu Xinyun began to show his talents in various literary and artistic activities. His acting talent, unique artistic sensibility and love for the stage make him stand out among his peers.
However, his father wanted him to become a table tennis player and win glory for the country when he grew up. This expectation was very common in the context of the times, but Zhu Xinyun had a different dream in mind.
Fortunately, there was an insightful teacher who discovered the uniqueness of Zhu Xinyun and believed that he was a born actor. With the teacher's recommendation, Zhu Xinyun was able to enter the Children's Palace, and was soon selected to join the CCTV Youth Galaxy Art Troupe. Here, he received more professional art training and grew up with like-minded friends.
With the passage of time, Zhu Xinyun's artistic talent has been fully explored, and his life has also undergone earth-shaking changes.
Red Star Dazzling: Glory and Struggle
In Beijing in 1973, the Bayi Film Studio was looking for the destined "Pan Dongzi" for the movie "Sparkling Red Star". Assistant director Shi Wei embarks on a journey through elementary school to find that bright new star.
Among the many young faces, she found two children: Hong Jiantao and Zhu Xinyun. During the audition, the lively and witty Zhu Xinyun attracted everyone's attention, and he successfully won the role.
But the road to acting is not an easy one. Good luck, how can a city kid perfectly interpret a country kid? The director team decided to send him to the countryside to experience real rural life. This life experience gave Zhu Xinyun a deep understanding of "Pan Dongzi", making his performance more natural and real.
In 1974, "Shining Red Star" caused a sensation across the country and became the memory of a generation. Good Luck, this former ordinary kid has become a "little hero" loved by people across the country overnight. His name is closely connected with "Pan Dongzi" and he has become a hero in the hearts of countless people.
That year, he was 12 years old. However, fame brings not only the halo, but also pressure and trouble. At school, he became the center of attention and was called "Pan Dongzi" wherever he went.
Even when he was ill and hospitalized, the windows were crowded with spectators who wanted to see his true face. His every move is exposed to the spotlight, and even daily travel becomes difficult.
The smash-hit child star: ill-fated
With his brilliant role as "Pan Dongzi", Zhu Xinyun made a name for himself in the entertainment industry and became the youngest actor in the Bayi Film Studio.At that time, he attracted much attention, and he continuously participated in many films such as "Sari Mako", "Ganshui Canghuang", "Ten Days" and so on, becoming a popular child star in the 1970s.
However, becoming famous is not a smooth road. Although he has played many roles, the audience seems to only remember "Pan Dongzi", and this label has become an obsession for him.
In order to seek a breakthrough, Zhu Xinyun was admitted to the Drama Department of the People's Liberation Army Art Academy in 1980, hoping to surpass the shadow of "Pan Dongzi" by improving his acting skills.
After four years of study, he successfully graduated and returned to the Bayi Film Studio, looking forward to showing himself on a wider stage. However, as an adult, he faced new challenges and his career as an actor became increasingly difficult.
In the following years, Zhu Xinyun participated in films such as "Thrilling Golden Wings", "Lightning Action" and "The Black Face Son-in-Law", but the response was mediocre and he failed to regain his former glory. The halo of the former child star has gradually dimmed, and the shadow of "Pan Dongzi" has always been with him.
Faced with the dilemma, Zhu Xinyun tried hard to find a breakthrough, but he never surpassed the role of "Pan Dongzi". He is closely connected with that character in the audience's mind, as if it has become an insurmountable obstacle.
His career encountered a bottleneck, and his life seemed to be in endless confusion. However, just when his acting career was at a low point, Zhu Xinyun was lucky enough to meet the other half of his life.
Beauty, blood and tears, true love without fear: a love legend bound by the secular world
In 1987, when Zhu Xinyun devoted himself to film shooting, his fate was closely connected with a makeup artist named Zhang Lingya. Zhang Lingya was originally a bright star in the dance world, but due to an unknown twist, she transformed into a makeup artist. Not only does she have a beautiful appearance, but she also has a gentle heart that makes people fall in love with her.
On the busy filming scene of the movie, Zhu Xinyun and Zhang Lingya met, as if it was fate. The two quickly became close friends, and their hearts became closer to each other during the communication. However, when their romance was in full swing, they encountered resistance from Zhu Xinyun's family.
It turns out that Zhang Lingya had been married once and was three years older than Zhu Xinyun. In that conservative era, such differences were seen as an unbridgeable divide. Zhu Xinyun's family strongly opposed this, and they could not accept this divorced, older woman as their daughter-in-law.
However, Zhu Xinyun’s feelings for Zhang Lingya are unwavering. He resisted the pressure from his family and was determined to spend the rest of his life with her. After endless arguments and persistence, the family had no choice but to compromise.
In 1990, Zhu Xinyun and Zhang Lingya entered the palace of marriage hand in hand. Their wedding was simple and warm, with no luxurious pomp and ceremony, only sincere blessings.
Although their married life is poor, their relationship is as sweet as honey. They live in a small house assigned by the work unit and lead an ordinary and happy life. Although their material conditions are limited, their hearts are enriched by each other's company.
Transformation from the trough to the peak
In the palace of marriage, I wish you good luck and Zhang Lingya to spend time together, but the road to acting after marriage is not smooth sailing. At that time, I wished good luck, often falling into self-doubt and confusion, and spending my days behind closed doors. Facing difficulties, Zhang Lingya became the light behind him. During the years when Zhu Xinyun's career was at a low point, she never gave up and gave endless support and encouragement.
When Bayi Film Studio was preparing to produce the movie "Ballistics without Trace", Zhu Xinyun saw the dawn of hope. At the suggestion of his wife, he bravely tried the new field of directing. At first, the leaders of the film studio had reservations about Zhu Xinyun serving as assistant director, but Zhang Lingya firmly fought for the opportunity for her husband, and finally got his wish.
In 1997, their daughter was born, bringing endless joy to this small family. After having a daughter, Zhu Xinyun began to devote more to his family and take care of the children with his wife. As their children grew up, the couple returned to their respective careers and supported each other.
Zhang Lingya not only supports Zhu Xinyun in her career, but also shows her virtuous and capable side in life. Whether it was taking care of her husband's food and daily life, or accompanying her mother-in-law through her illness, she did everything meticulously. Her dedication and hard work have earned her the respect and love of her family.
Today's Zhu Xinyun is no longer the actor wandering in the trough. With his hard work and talent, he once again made a name for himself in the entertainment industry. And Zhang Lingya was always by his side, witnessing every one of his brilliance.
May the years be peaceful and peaceful, and this world be stable
In the hourglass of time, I wish you and your family to settle quietly and live an ordinary and beautiful life. At the age of 61, he has long since shed his star aura and is enjoying the rare tranquility with his wife. Every evening at dusk, they would take a leisurely walk in the park, holding hands, as if telling the story of half a century of romance.
My daughter has now grown into a graceful young girl. She inherited the excellent genes of her parents. She is not only smart, but also has a kind and brave heart. Whenever he sees the smile on his daughter's face, Zhu Xinyun's heart is filled with joy. He often thought that perhaps his greatest achievement in life was to raise such an outstanding daughter.
Looking back on the past, I wish Xinyun never regret his original choice. The former child star has already found his own happiness in the long river of time. And his life is like a movie with ups and downs, from highs to lows, to dullness, every plot is full of drama.
Now, I wish Xinyun and his family a simple and happy life. They no longer pursue fame, wealth and status, they just hope to stay with each other like this and spend the rest of their lives together. Perhaps for them, real happiness is the warmth and tranquility of being with their family.
