Recently, the program list of the 2024 CCTV Spring Festival Gala was exposed, and actor Sun Tao was once again on the list.
Sun Tao first appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in 1995. So far, he has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala 17 times and was nicknamed the "nail house" of the Spring Festival Gala by the audience.
In these 17 performances, Sun Tao brought every little character to life with his simple image. His classic lines "I am proud" and "You are in trouble" are even more popular.
Many people may think that the reason why Sun Tao was able to attend the Spring Festival Gala 17 times is mostly because of the support of his parents, or because Sun Tao was born with extraordinary talents.
However, the truth is exactly the opposite. Sun Tao was considered a cowardly and stupid child by his father, the famous Kuaishu inheritor since he was a child. Sun Tao did not inherit his father's mantle, but eventually reached the pinnacle of his career on his own.
After his career became successful, Sun Tao did not become "arrogant" when he was proud of it. Instead, he became stricter and more self-disciplined. He has had no scandals in 30 years. Therefore, Sun Tao is also known as the "cleanest" actor in the entertainment industry.
Why did Sun Tao give up inheriting his father's mantle? How did he grow from a cowardly and stupid kid to a celebrity who has attended the Spring Festival Gala 17 times, and what kind of love life does he have?
Let’s talk about Sun Tao’s story today.
Born in a literary family
A cowardly boy refused to inherit his father's legacy
In 1968, Sun Tao was born in Shandong. His father was a soldier and the famous inheritor of Shandong Kuaishu in my country.
Since Sun Tao was born, his father has wanted Sun Tao to inherit his mantle, so he is very strict with Sun Tao.
Sun Tao has been very honest since he was a child. He was always bullied by other children outside. Every time he was bullied, Sun Tao would run home crying.
As soon as he saw Sun Tao crying and cowardly, his father, who was a soldier, would get furious. He would pull out his belt and beat Sun Tao violently regardless of the situation.
Therefore, Sun Tao was very afraid of his father, and his courage became smaller and smaller.
When Sun Tao was 6 years old, his father began to train him to learn Kuaishu. His father stipulated that Sun Tao must practice for two hours every day.
When he first started practicing, Sun Tao always couldn't grasp the key points, so he was scolded by his father many times as "so stupid".
With continuous practice, Sun Tao finally found the feeling. Soon after, his quick writing made great progress.
The father was slightly pleased to see that his son spoke in a decent manner. He thought: As long as his son can continue to practice according to his own requirements, it will be a matter of time for his son to inherit his legacy. In that case, his son's future path will be much smoother.
After a while, his father wanted to continue training Sun Tao's ability to perform on stage. He specially arranged an opportunity for Sun Tao to perform on stage in the open-air square of the military compound.
However, when Sun Tao came on stage, he was so nervous that he forgot his words. In the end, his father could only lead him off the stage amidst the roar of laughter, and Sun Tao became a joke among everyone.
After this incident, Sun Tao refused to go on stage even if his father was furious in front of him.
In the end, the father could only give up temporarily letting his son inherit his legacy.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Sun Tao has graduated from high school, but he failed to get into college as he wished.
At this time, Sun Tao did not want to stay with his parents. He just wanted to be as far away from his parents as possible, so he signed up to join the army.
Before leaving, his parents went to the station to see off Sun Tao.
Although his father still spoke as fiercely as before, Sun Tao felt his father's deep love for him for the first time from his father's reluctant eyes.
At that moment, Sun Tao couldn't stop crying. He secretly made up his mind that he must do a good job in the future and bring glory to his parents.
Initially, Sun Tao served as a soldier in the artillery regiment of Xinjiang. Two years later, he was transferred to the Jinan Military Region.
In addition to intense training, Sun Tao often entertained himself by reading fast books in the dormitory.
Gradually, more and more comrades came to listen to Sun Tao speak Kuaishu. Even the leaders of the army knew that Sun Tao could speak Kuaishu, so they transferred Sun Tao to the army's literary and artistic propaganda team.
In the literary and art propaganda team, Sun Tao came into contact with drama performances. He increasingly felt that he preferred drama performances with language and body compared to verbal expressive performances.
However, although Sun Tao liked to study performances, he still did not dare to go on stage, so he was ridiculed as a "coward" by his comrades.
often has 41 people in the team to attend performances, but he is the only one who stays in the dormitory.
For a while, Sun Tao had the idea of retiring.
However, an all-military art performance not long afterward changed Sun Tao's mind and also changed Sun Tao's fate.
In this art performance, Sun Tao had the courage to perform the short drama "Mountain Love" with the mentality of going on stage for the last time.
did not expect that just after his performance, the audience burst into applause.
What's more, what Sun Tao didn't expect was that his performance also won the first prize in the Army Art Performance.
These applause and honors gave Sun Tao unprecedented confidence.
Sun Tao also has new plans for his future. He does not want to go home and inherit the legacy of his father Kuaishu. He just wants to continue to study his favorite drama performance.
Two months later, the People's Liberation Army Art School was recruiting students. After Sun Tao learned about it, he excitedly signed up overnight.
In the end, Sun Tao's simple performance was noticed by the admissions teacher. At the age of 23, he successfully entered the People's Liberation Army Art School and became a college student in the school.
On the day he received the notice, Sun Tao was extremely excited. He reported the good news to his parents on the phone: " Dad, Mom, my son has been admitted to college and he is a promising person. "
The parents on the other end of the phone After hearing this, I was so happy that tears filled my eyes. Although my son did not inherit the express book, he blazed his own path.
The "student scumbag" finally counterattacked
and became the "nail house" who attended the Spring Festival Gala 17 times
However, Sun Tao's college career was not as smooth sailing as he imagined.
When Sun Tao entered the People's Liberation Army Art School with high ambitions, he received a big blow. It turned out that Sun Tao "happily" ranked first in the class in the initial examination.
For this reason, Sun Tao was discouraged for a long time, until he later figured it out: the starting point does not determine the end point, as long as he makes progress every time, it is good.
Sun Tao devoted himself to his studies with stupid energy. He went to the school playground every day before dawn to practice his lines and basic skills. No matter it was severe cold or scorching heat, he never stopped.
With his unremitting efforts, his hard work finally paid off, and Sun Tao's grades caught up. When he graduated, he became the first in the class.
In the blink of an eye, Sun Tao is about to graduate from college.
When submitting his graduation project, Sun Tao prepared a sketch "Picket" that reflected the military appearance of the army.
In order to perform this work well, Sun Tao observed every move of the pickets whenever he had free time, and painstakingly figured out how to present the character characteristics of the pickets.
After the performance of this work, it was highly praised by the teachers, and therefore attracted the attention of the school.
Finally, the school recommended this work to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala program team.
Soon after, Sun Tao received a warm invitation from the Spring Festival Gala program team.
In 1995, the sketch "Picket" performed by Sun Tao and Guo Yue together appeared on the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Their delicate and simple performance was recognized by the national audience.
After emerging in the Spring Festival Gala, Sun Tao did not stop moving forward.
In 1997, Sun Tao submitted an application to participate in the Spring Festival Gala to the Spring Festival Gala program team, and submitted four painstaking works. Three of
's four works were rejected, and finally "Three Sisters in the Soldiers" was successfully selected.
In this performance, Sun Tao's humorous military image has been well received by the audience as always, which also started his journey to become a "nail house" in the Spring Festival Gala.
Subsequently, Sun Tao appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage 17 times in 1999, 2000, 2005, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2016~2023.

"Smart Husband" in 2011 won the second prize in the Spring Festival Gala that year.
Among these programs, the most memorable one is undoubtedly "You're in trouble" in 2013.
In this sketch, Sun Tao plays a security guard. He vividly interprets the low-level people. The comedy has its own laughs, especially the catchphrase "If you cause trouble, you will cause big trouble", it has become The buzzword of the year.

However, there are many celebrities, right and wrong. When Sun Tao's career was making rapid progress, his sketches received complaints from many viewers.
Some viewers believe that Sun Tao’s sketches are all about low-level characters and lack new ideas; some viewers think that Sun Tao’s sketches are too serious and not funny; some viewers think that Sun Tao has no real ability and relies on his wife He just attended the Spring Festival Gala...
Sun Tao was troubled by various public opinions and once wanted to give up attending the Spring Festival Gala. However, his wife encouraged him every time and finally made him persist.
No scandal after 27 years of marriage
He is the "cleanest" actor
Sun Tao's wife Li Li is a classmate of Sun Tao's People's Liberation Army Art School. The two knew each other and fell in love while in school.
Li Li is a versatile woman. It was she who created Sun Tao's first Spring Festival Gala skit "Picket".
In 1996, after they graduated from college, they held their wedding in a small house of more than ten square meters.
After getting married, Sun Tao hoped to make a career in the entertainment industry. However, things went against his wishes and his resume was repeatedly rejected, which made Sun Tao feel very frustrated.
Li Li did not blame Sun Tao for not giving her a prosperous life. On the contrary, she also supported Sun Tao to apply for the General Political Repertory Theater to improve his acting skills.
The General Political Repertory Theater was the top theater school at that time, but Sun Tao did not dare to apply for it at first.
Li Li kept encouraging Sun Tao: "You can definitely do . "
With Li Li's encouragement, Sun Tao finally gained confidence and was eventually admitted to the General Political Repertory Theater with excellent results.
A year later, Li Li gave birth to her daughter. In order to fully support her husband's career, Li Li quit her job and took on the heavy responsibility of taking care of the family.
Every day when Sun Tao comes home from get off work, he can eat delicious meals prepared by Li Li. The family chats while eating, and Sun Tao's work pressure disappears in the pleasant conversation with his wife.
When Sun Tao was rehearsing his works, Li Li would come to the audience and carefully observe Sun Tao's every movement and expression. If he found something wrong, he would immediately point it out and put forward suggestions for revision. Many works have been revised by Li Li, and the quality has improved. Even better.
As Sun Tao appeared more and more in the Spring Festival Gala, more and more people invited Sun Tao to perform, and Sun Tao's career became smoother and smoother.
However, Sun Tao, who has a successful career, has not forgotten his wife's contribution to himself and the family.
For so many years, Sun Tao always went home after get off work, leaving all the financial power of the family to Li Li.
Sun Tao also obeyed Li Li's words.
Usually, Sun Tao loves fishing the most. If one day Sun Tao is preparing to go fishing and Li Li wants Sun Tao to stay with her at home, Sun Tao will definitely put down the fishing rod and chat with Li Li at home and do housework.
At work, Sun Tao never forgets his wife's feelings.
Once, Sun Tao was filming a scene with an actress. The two had a scene of biting an apple together. However, during the performance, Sun Tao accidentally touched the actress's lips with his mouth. He immediately realized that if this matter reached his wife's ears, , which may cause her to misunderstand.
So, he immediately apologized to the actress, called his wife's phone number, explained the situation to her, and asked the staff on site to confirm the matter with her.
Many people saw that Sun Tao was so cautious about his wife and said that Sun Tao was a "strict wife". After Sun Tao learned about it, he smiled and replied: " I am proud! "
Sun Tao also expressed this many times when participating in the show Expressing his love and gratitude to his wife, he said: "The most correct thing I have done in my life is to marry a good wife. Without my wife, I would not have been able to attend the Spring Festival Gala 17 times."
In the blink of an eye, Sun Tao I have been with my wife for nearly 30 years.
In the past 30 years, the couple would go to a nearby library to read together on every wedding anniversary, just like they did in the school library 30 years ago.
Time has changed, but their love for each other has never changed.
In the past 30 years, Sun Tao has truly achieved zero scandals. Therefore, Sun Tao is also known as the "cleanest" actor in China.
It is said that in the past, cars and horses were slow, and there was only enough time to love one person in a lifetime.
Today's society is complicated and temptations are everywhere. People who can be as strict with themselves and consistent with their lovers as Sun Tao are really rare.
Sun Tao, now 55 years old, has not changed much in appearance from more than 20 years ago, and his simple personality is also the same as before.
Nowadays, except for his annual appearance in the Spring Festival Gala, on other days, he is an ordinary literary and artistic worker.
He performs more than 100 times every year in frontiers, on islands, on plateaus, and on border defenses. He is not afraid of hard work and does not care about the size of the stage. As a soldier, he just wants to use his performances to benefit his comrades stationed on the frontiers of the motherland. Bring a touch of care and warmth. When
was at home, Sun Tao often took his wife and daughter to visit his parents, and the family lived a happy life.
Although Sun Tao did not inherit the mantle of his father Kuaishu, his parents are sincerely happy and proud to see that Sun Tao is now successful in his career.
Some people are very curious, saying that the style of Sun Tao's sketches has not changed much, and he is not the best performer in the sketch world. Why can he become an evergreen tree in the Spring Festival Gala?
In fact, it was Sun Tao's persistent spirit that made him successful.
grew up as a cowardly boy who pursued his dreams and eventually became a celebrity who attended the Spring Festival Gala 17 times. After
became famous, he persisted in his original intention when it came to relationships and remained unchanged for 30 years.
Sun Tao's experience is admirable, and Sun Tao's character is even more respectable.
I hope that we can all be like Sun Tao, find our own path and keep going. One day, we will be able to see the moonlight when the clouds clear. About the author of
