Gu Yue and Wang Tiecheng:
Zhou Enlai, played by Wang Tiecheng, is both physical and spiritual. Even Deng Yingchao thought he had succeeded in confusing the real with the fake. He was also deeply influenced by Zhou Enlai. It is said that when Premier Zhou Enlai passed away, Wang Tiecheng braved the cold winter and queued for three hours to say goodbye. He became a witness and witness of the "Ten Miles Long Street to Send Off the Prime Minister". Because he looked exactly like Zhou Enlai, he was twenty when he acted. for many years until retirement.
Wang Tiecheng was only 62 years old when he retired. He could have continued to play Zhou Enlai. The reason why he retired was because of family reasons. Wang Tiecheng's wife was Yan Lili, the daughter of composer Yan Shushi. After their marriage, they gave birth to their son Wang Weiping. Not long after his son was born, he It was found that 21 pairs of chromosomes were incomplete, which is a congenital dementia.
This news was like a bolt from the blue, but Wang Tiecheng and his wife did not give up or give birth to another child. Instead, they put down their work and devoted themselves to taking care of their son. During this period, his son's life was endangered many times. Fortunately, he was rescued in time. However, their son was frail and sick since he was a child. The couple wanted to take care of him. He worked hard, ran around borrowing money to raise medical expenses, and even sold his belongings.
It is said that there was a difficult period when Mr. Wang Tiecheng's income as an actor was not enough to make a living and he once went to Hong Kong to do odd jobs.

Under the meticulous care of Wang Tiecheng and his wife, their son lives a healthy life and even knows how to write and play musical instruments. However, even in his fifties, he only has the IQ level of a primary school student.
