On the star-studded stage of the entertainment industry, she was once the brightest star. She was elegant and intellectual, and made people's eyes shine every time she appeared. But at the peak of her career, she made a decision that surprised everyone - to say goodbye to the spotlight temporarily, just to accompany her son through every critical moment of his growth.

Six years can be said to be long or short. During this time, she took off her host's fancy clothes and put on a homely apron. But she has never regretted it, because in her opinion, nothing is more precious than witnessing the growth of her children.

Today, time has left 68 growth rings on her body, but her enthusiasm and vitality have not diminished at all. From the queen of the screen to the guardian of the family, every choice she makes is full of wisdom and courage. Now, let us walk into her story together and feel the depth and greatness of maternal love.

The stage queen who emerged from the ice city of the north

In that changing era, before the warm wind from the south blew to the ice city of the north, Xue Shujie, a Harbin girl born in 1956, had already planted a seed in her heart A seed of art.

She was born with a talent for literature and art, her singing voice was as crisp as a lark, and her dancing posture was as graceful as a willow. Seeing this seed taking root and sprouting in their daughter's heart, her parents decided to water it well so that she could flourish on the road of art.

Time jumps to 1968. Xue Shujie, who was only 12 years old, made a bold decision to go south to pursue her stage dream. She was admitted to the Zhejiang Provincial Repertory Theater and boarded the train to Hangzhou alone, a distant place carrying dreams and unknowns.

During her years in the repertory troupe, Xue Shujie absorbed the knowledge of acting like a sponge. She is not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and follows her predecessors on the stage. Soon, her talent and hard work paid off, and she established a firm foothold in the troupe and became a rising star on the stage.

In those years, Xue Shujie created countless vivid characters on the stage. Her acting skills became increasingly sophisticated and her stage experience became more and more abundant. However, she was not satisfied with this, and began to cast her sights on a wider world - the movie screen.

In the 1970s, the film industry was at its peak, and many drama actors transformed into film and television actors. Xue Shujie is also eager to give it a try. She is eager to show herself on a larger stage. However, her work in the theater conflicted with her filming schedule, which put her in a dilemma.

After careful consideration, Xue Shujie made a surprising decision - she gave up the "iron rice bowl" of the theater and resolutely entered the entertainment industry. This decision caused quite a stir at the time, and relatives and friends tried to dissuade her, but Xue Shujie firmly said: "I am going to pursue my movie dream!"

Facts have proved that Xue Shujie's choice was correct. Her film career was as dazzling as dazzling fireworks, and she became an extremely popular actress.

From "Wang Chunlan" to a bright star in the film industry, Xue Shujie's acting legend

While the film industry in the 1980s was still groping forward, Xue Shujie had quietly opened the door to the entertainment industry. At that time, she was 24 years old and in the prime of her youth. "Rouge" gave her her first taste of the sweetness of acting. Although it was only a small supporting role as "Wang Chunlan", it laid the foundation stone for her to lead to the Avenue of Stars.

Looking back on that time, I seem to still be able to see Xue Shujie’s smart eyes and solid performance in front of the camera. Yes, she was not an instant success, but every step she took was solid and powerful.

From "Spark of the Soul" to "Lights and Colors", her name gradually left a mark on the audience's hearts. With her outstanding performance in "Liao Zhongkai", she has become a presence that cannot be ignored in the film industry.

But what really made her shine was the 1986 film "Our Veterans". In this work directed by Zhao Huanzhang, the role of "Yu Yanan" played by Xue Shujie is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In the film, she faces the gap between the rich and the poor in her hometown and leads the villagers to get rich together, showing a woman's tenacity and wisdom.When the film became popular all over the country, she was nominated for the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress, which was well deserved.

But Xue Shujie did not stop because of this. She knew that the road to acting was long and full of challenges. As a result, she continued to develop her acting skills, constantly challenged herself, and brought one classic work after another to the audience.

A smash-hit actress, and her sweet love affair with drama prince Tang Zhiqun

When it comes to mainland film and television in the 1980s, Xue Shujie's name is almost a household name, shining like a bright star in the entertainment industry. From "Qu Xiangyu" in "The Suppression of Bandits in Western Hunan" to "Liu Yaxiang" in "Mutiny", to "Wild Maozi" in "The Treasure Hunt" and "Pan Yulan" in "One Girl", every She played every role so impeccably that the audience was captivated.

But behind this glamor, who is silently supporting her? That is her husband, Tang Zhiqun. This drama prince, who is one year older than Xue Shujie, is not as famous as his wife, but he has won the hearts of beauties with his true love and persistence. Their love story is like a realistic version of a sweet idol drama.

Time goes back to the days when Xue Shujie was not yet popular, when she and Tang Zhiqun met because of work. The two young hearts slowly got closer through mutual appreciation and understanding, and eventually became good friends who talked about everything. Tang Zhiqun's feelings for Xue Shujie gradually deepened. His pursuit method was both romantic and traditional - sending flowers every three days and impressing Xue Shujie with his sincerity.

Although Tang Zhiqun performed well on the drama stage, he is little known in the film and television circles. However, this did not affect Xue Shujie's feelings for him.

In her opinion, Tang Zhiqun is a talented, emotional and responsible man who is worthy of her lifelong trust. So, in the eighth year of their love, Xue Shujie happily married Tang Zhiqun and started their married life.

After getting married, Xue Shujie did not choose to retire from the entertainment industry, but continued to pursue her acting career. Her decision received full support from Tang Zhiqun.

They run this small family together, warming each other's hearts with love and tolerance. Soon after, their son was born, bringing more joy and happiness to the family.

The transformation journey of returning to the entertainment industry

In the 1990s, Xue Shujie's career developed rapidly, and she successively filmed many masterpieces such as "The Storm in Ganquan Village", "The Moon Falls on the Jade River", and "Muslim Funeral". Although she played a supporting role in most of these works, her superb acting skills and outstanding appearance left a deep impression on the audience.

However, just when her career seemed bright, Xue Shujie chose to bid farewell to the entertainment industry temporarily. After marriage, although she was busy with her career, she never neglected her care and companionship for her family.

She knew that her children needed a warm family environment to grow up. Therefore, when her son entered junior high school and the academic pressure gradually increased, she decided to suspend her acting career and focus on accompanying her child's growth.

During that time, Xue Shujie gave up almost all her film appointments and became a housewife wholeheartedly. During her son's six years in junior high school and high school, she spent countless study days and nights with her son.

In order to set a good example for her children and to improve herself, she picked up books again to study for graduate school. Mother and son learn and make progress together, becoming each other's strongest support.

In the end, with tenacious perseverance and hard work, Xue Shujie successfully passed the postgraduate entrance examination in art, and her son was also recommended to Renmin University of China with excellent results. When her son entered college, Xue Shujie, who had been away from acting for six years, decided to return to the entertainment industry.

Return to the stage of the colorful life

In the days when he faded out of the public eye, Xue Shujie did not immerse himself in the halo of the past, but bravely explored new areas. She decided to become a host to challenge herself and start a new chapter in her life.

Although she is not from a major, she has successfully gained a foothold with her unique charm and innate popularity with the audience. Whenever she stands on the stage, she receives warm applause and recognition from the audience.

However, the actor's soul in her has never been extinguished. After four years as a host, she returned to the entertainment industry. Those familiar characters and those classic stories take on new charm under her interpretation. In "Red Poppy", "Emperor of Han Dynasty 3", "Living Buddha Jigong 3" and "Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan", each character is integrated with her emotions and life, making the story more vivid.

Although she has started to play more roles like mother and aunt as she gets older, her acting skills are still outstanding and deeply moved the audience. For her, as long as there are scenes to film, it is the greatest happiness.

While his career is developing, Xue Shujie's family life is also very happy. After her son completed his studies at Renmin University, he went to study in the UK and showed outstanding talents.

And her husband has always been by her side, caring for her carefully and giving her endless love. The relationship between them is deep, like a couple in love. Her husband often creates little surprises for her, with flowers, gifts, and romantic dates, keeping their marriage fresh.

On social media, Xue Shujie often shares bits and pieces of her life. Many people were moved to see her and her husband being so loving. However, happy days are always short-lived. The disease ruthlessly took away her husband and caused her world to collapse in an instant.

Blooming in adversity, using acting to heal the soul

In 2012, Xue Shujie's acting career was at its peak, but her family life suffered a huge change. While filming out of town, she learned that her husband Tang Zhiqun suddenly fainted and was rushed to the hospital.

The diagnosis was like a bolt from the blue: Tang Zhiqun suffered from advanced liver cancer. Faced with this sudden bad news, Xue Shujie was heartbroken. She longed to return to her husband immediately, but her busy work prevented her from getting away. In the end, she could only hold back tears and continue to complete her acting career. After the work of the

crew was over, Xue Shujie immediately returned to her husband, and the two faced this life-and-death battle together. However, the disease was ruthless, and Tang Zhiqun's condition took a turn for the worse and his life was in danger.

On March 19, 2013, Tang Zhiqun passed away due to ineffective treatment for liver cancer, leaving Xue Shujie and their son to depend on each other. On the day of the "First Seventh Day", Xue Shujie announced the news of her husband's death on social media: "Today is the anniversary of my husband's first seven days. May his soul rest in peace in heaven. May all living relatives and friends cherish their bodies and cherish them!!! ”

In order to get over the pain of losing her husband, Xue Shujie devoted all her energy to her acting career. She has successively filmed many well-known works such as "Begonia Still", "Surgical Storm", "Rules of the World" and so on. These works not only made her famous in the circle, but also won her the love and respect of the audience.

Today, 2024 has passed, and 11 years have passed since Tang Zhiqun's death. Xue Shujie also gradually emerged from the pain of losing her husband.

She and her son depended on each other and enjoyed the warmth and happiness of the family. Although she is no longer young, her acting career is still booming and she lives a leisurely and contented life.
