Last month, there was a tragedy in the entertainment industry. Shi Weijian, the first famous performing artist in Mainland China to play "Sun Yat-sen", passed away at the age of 89. Shi Weijian has made wonderful performances in works such as "The Legend of Tianyun Mountain", "Tang Minghuang", "Xun Huisheng" and "Qiu Jin", which are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Not long ago, the China Children's Art Theater issued an obituary. The famous actor and performing artist Wang Tiecheng passed away due to illness at the age of 88.
It is worth mentioning that Wang Tiecheng has played "Zhou Enlai" in many film and television works. His superb acting skills left a deep impression on people.
Wang Tiecheng, whose real name is Wang Tiecheng, was born in Beijing in 1938. He has shown a strong interest in art since he was a child. He started learning Peking Opera at the age of 6. This early artistic enlightenment laid a solid foundation for his later acting career. At the age of 23, he graduated from the Acting Department of the Central Academy of Drama and immediately joined the China Children's Art Theater to showcase his talents on the art stage.
Wang Tiecheng's most well-known role is "Zhou Enlai", which he played many times. In 1977, he played this role for the first time in a drama. Because of his lifelike performance, Wang Tiecheng became famous.
Since then, Wang Tiecheng's successful performance in the movie "The Newsboy" further established his status in the film and television industry. Wang Tiecheng has not only played Zhou Enlai many times in his film works, but also guest-starred in the TV series "Song Qingling and Her Sisters", and his outstanding performance in the movie "Zhou Enlai" has been praised by the outside world as "both physical and spiritual, and fake and real".
The reason why Wang Tiecheng is known as Wang Tiecheng is a veteran actor with both virtue and art. In his acting career, Wang Tiecheng won the 1992 Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor with his superb acting skills. In life, Wang Tiecheng also fulfilled his family responsibilities.
Wang Tiecheng and Yan Lili met for the first time under the arrangement of their sister. It can be said that they fell in love at first sight after they met, and they quickly established a relationship. Although they didn't get along for a long time, their relationship was very deep.
When Wang Tiecheng was in trouble at first, in order not to delay Yan Lili's future, Wang Tiecheng proposed to break up. However, Yan Lili said firmly: "I just recognize you, you can't push me away." Her persistence deeply moved Wang Tiecheng, and the relationship between the two became stronger.
Life finally returned to normal. Wang Tiecheng formally proposed to Yan Lili and they became husband and wife. Wang Tiecheng was 34 years old at the time. The following year, his wife gave birth to a son for him.
However, happiness always comes with challenges. A few days before the child was born, the couple and their family were still immersed in joy, but fate dealt them a heavy blow: the child was diagnosed with 21 pairs of incomplete chromosomes, a congenital intellectual disability.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, which was hard for the whole family to accept. What's even more unfortunate is that the child suffered from acute pneumonia again and his life was in danger. On the doctor's phone call, Wang Tiecheng was asked whether he wanted to continue rescuing the child. This is a question with a hidden meaning. What the doctor means is that the child's intelligence and physical condition are not good. Maybe letting him go to heaven will be a relief for everyone.
Despite this, Wang Tiecheng firmly decided to save the child. He and his wife reached a consensus that since they gave life to their child, they must be responsible for him. They devoted all their love to their son and even gave up the right to have another child, fearing that they would not be able to take care of their two children wholeheartedly.
For the health of their son, Wang Tiecheng and his wife spared no effort to travel to major hospitals. Despite their meager income, they still tried their best to provide the best care for their son. The wife even quit her job to focus on taking care of her son at home.
The burden of life all fell on Wang Tiecheng alone, but the couple did not back down. For this reason, the couple did not hesitate to spend everything they had, running around, borrowing money, and selling off their belongings, just so that their children could survive healthily in this world.
There was a time when Wang Tiecheng was unable to make ends meet as an actor. In order to better support his family, Wang Tiecheng decided to quit the industry and work in Hong Kong.Because he feels that his image in the minds of the audience is "Prime Minister Zhou", and playing other roles may damage this image. He came to Hong Kong and was unfamiliar with the place. In order to save money, he rented a house with simple equipment.
Fortunately, their son has grown up healthily. Although his son, who is now in his 50s, has the same IQ as a child, he can still accompany the old couple.
Wang Tiecheng knew that his son would soon leave this world after his death, so he donated all his property to charity organizations. Because they take great care of their son and never abandon or give up, Wang Tiecheng and his wife are called "the best parents" by the outside world.
Although he had a difficult life, he still remained optimistic. Against the background of such a heavy family life, Wang Tiecheng always maintained his love and persistence for art. His performance is not only a display of skills, but also an expression of life philosophy.
Every wonderful performance of Wang Tiecheng in dramas and movies is the result of his in-depth thinking and repeated study of the characters. Even though a car accident occurred during the filming of "Zhou Enlai" and six ribs were broken, Wang Tiecheng simply rested for 21 days and then continued filming. In the end, he created the most "Zhou Enlai" image on the screen and persisted in completing his performance tasks.
Wang Tiecheng is not just an actor, his life is a true portrayal of persistence and dedication. He not only moved the audience with his outstanding acting skills, but also became an eternal model in people's hearts because of his selfless dedication as a parent and his persistent pursuit of art.
Throughout his life, Wang Tiecheng used his acting career to interpret what the real drama of life is. His death is a great loss to the Chinese art world, but the spirit and influence he left behind will forever be engraved in our hearts.
I wish Mr. Wang Tiecheng a good journey.
