Chen Yanlin, the heroine of this article, is such a woman who has changed a family for three generations.
Speaking of Chen Yanlin, you may not be familiar with it. As an actress and model, she once appeared in a stage play and walked the runway, but she was not famous.
However, when it comes to her husband Li Yu, the audience should be impressed. He is Qiu in Huang Xiaoming's The Condor Heroes and Zhou in Hugh's The Condor Heroes.
In last year's "The Fire of Losing a Husband", he played the corrupt official Song Xian who led to the bankruptcy of the Wu family.
Almost all the roles played by Li Mi are supporting roles, but he is a veritable "Star II". His father is the famous "Prime Minister Liu" and "Imperial Doctor Xilaile"-Li Baotian.
How did choosing to get married and have children after graduation change the three generations of Li family? How can the stubborn "bully" Li Baotian be at the mercy of his daughter-in-law?
All this still stems from the knot between Li and his son. ...
1946, Li Baotian, from Xuzhou, Jiangsu. Growing up, Li Baotian had only one hobby-going to the theatre.
Li Baotian is a drama freak. Whenever a troupe comes to perform nearby, he will go to the theater.
At first, my parents didn't care too much, and there were no entertainment activities in those days. It's not surprising that children love to watch plays and join in the fun.
It was not until 13 years old that Li Baotian came back from the theater that he got up the courage to tell his parents about the decision he made on the road. He is going to drop out of school to study drama.
Now his parents can blow up the temple. What a scandal if they don't study hard and study drama? At that time, all the actors were unscrupulous.
Li Baotian refused to eat hard or soft, but his parents advised him and scolded him. He is determined to follow the troupe. Finally, I had a big fight with my father and left home.
He went to the local Bangzi Opera Troupe to learn from his teacher and never came home for four years.
Li Baotian, who became a monk halfway, began to practice basic skills. The master saw that he studied hard and was willing to endure hardships, and also left him to teach him clown kung fu.
Li Baotian people are not outstanding, and the technology was learned later. In the troupe, he dare not speak loudly or eat more rice. Young people have to work overtime every day when they are growing up. Li Baotian, who has not enough to eat, is getting thinner and thinner.
But all the hardships failed to extinguish the love in Li Baotian's heart. Although the heart is firm, the body is solid.
Due to long-term malnutrition, Li Baotian finally fainted during training.
When he woke up, he found himself lying in a hospital bed, and the man standing in front of him was actually his father. It is strange that dad is wearing a parent-child suit-a hospital gown.
It turns out that my father is ill, and he lives in the ward next to Li Baotian.
Father and son, whom I haven't seen for four years, meet in the ward at this time. Father's caring eyes made strong Li Baotian cry. Father's stubbornness and son's rebellion vanished at this moment, leaving only father and son in the ward.
After all, he is a big boy and recovers quickly. Li Baotian was released from the hospital in a few days. But my father was not so lucky. Not only did he not leave the hospital, but he died after a while.
This incident dealt a great blow to Li Baotian, who felt that his father's illness was caused by him. After that, he ran around at home and in the troupe, helping his mother and taking care of his younger brothers and sisters in compensation.
Many things happen. Gradually, he became famous in the clown line. He was transferred to Xuzhou Cultural Art Troupe and became an actor in the system.
Li Baotian studied while acting, got married and had children.
1978, Li Baotian, who dropped out of primary school, was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama through self-study. His wife, Hu Ying, not only received the notice of becoming a classmate with him, but also got the fruit of love that year-her son, Li Yu, was born.
After graduating from Chinese Opera, Li Baotian got the opportunity to stay in school and teach with his superb acting skills and rich performance experience.
After that, he shot many works one after another. But when he became famous, it was already after the 1990 s.
1990, Li Baotian, Zhao, Ge You and six-year-old children co-starred in the movie "New Year", which became famous in World War I.
Later, Zhang Yimou cooperated with Li Baotian in three films: Ju Dou, Shake, Shake to Waipoqiao and Tell me what you want. Li Baotian gained a firm foothold in the film circle and won numerous awards.
During this period, Li Baotian, Wang Gang and Zhang Guoli starred in the TV series "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo". The ratings of this drama in those days can be described as empty lanes. Li Baotian won the Flying Award, Golden Eagle Award and other awards.
Coupled with the later "Imperial Doctor Xilaile", Li Baotian has simply become a movie-watching guarantee.
Plain-looking, relying entirely on strength, many of Li Baotian's works have become textbook-level acting awards.
Li Baotian insisted on his "three noes" for so many years, which really became an old joke loved by hundreds of millions of viewers, but it also offended many people, including his own son Li Mi.
Li Baotian's three noes are: no advertising, no back door, no filming and no water injection.
There was once a play, when Li Baotian signed the contract, it was 30 episodes, but the management finally cut it into 33 episodes. Li Baotian thinks this is the real hammer of water injection, and a complaint is brought to court.
Although the lawsuit was won in the end, Li Baotian was still banned. Few people have looked for him since.
Li Baotian is selfless not only to others, but also to himself and his family.
Li Mi loved art since childhood, and Li Baotian was also willing to cultivate it. As a result, when 16 years old, Li Mi suddenly wanted to give up painting and playing, which made Li Baotian furious. I don't know how many times the father and son quarreled about it.
Li Baotian may have forgotten that he was so stubborn as a teenager. It seems that Li's DNA is deeply engraved with "playing dumb" and "stubbornness".
Li Mi is bent on applying for Chinese opera, but he doesn't have the strength of his father. Li Mi was defeated in the final exam.
Chinese Opera is Li Baotian's alma mater, where he has worked for many years. With his connections and popularity, it is easy to open the back door for his son. Li Mi also turned to his father for help.
But Li Baotian didn't agree. He thinks that if Li Mi wants to eat this bowl of rice, he must rely on his own strength, otherwise he has no future in China opera.
After failing the list, Li Mi was very depressed, and Li Baotian was moved by his wife's persuasion. But he didn't open the back door, only occasionally took his son to film.
The role he found for Li Mi was either the role he played when he was young or the supporting role in Soy Sauce on the Edge.
Li Mi was very satisfied. He understands his father's painstaking efforts, and he also knows that entering the crew is his father's greatest concession.
Although Li Mi has never had brilliant roles and works, he has been working hard. Six years later, Li Mi finally entered Chinese Opera and became an alumnus of his parents.
After graduating from Li Mi University, his father Li Baotian was almost deified because of the role of "Hilaire". Some people admire Li Mi and give him the resources and scripts to shoot. The condition is: "Let your father guest star in 20 episodes."
Li Mi felt that his chance had come. He signed the contract with ecstasy and received the deposit. Everything is ready except the east wind.
As expected, Li Baotian flew into a rage. Li Baotian read the script and cursed Li Mi: "You shot all the bad movies!"
When Li Baotian refused to participate, Li Mi faced the crisis of default and loss.
Li Mi pleaded and showed his father all the contracts and deposits. Although Li Mi is "derailed" in strength, no matter how cruel Li Baotian is, he will not watch his son bear huge debts or even go to jail. He came to the crew with a sigh of relief.
After the filming of Li Baotian's scene, he escaped from the crew immediately. Even after that, Li Mi found someone else to provide the voice.
Since then, Li Baotian has never contacted Li Mi actively, and this stubborn little old man has been holding his breath.
Even when Li Mi and Chen Yanlin got married, Li Baotian didn't attend the wedding because he didn't have time to shoot.
After Li Mi fell in love, she took Chen Yanlin home to meet her parents. In fact, Li Baotian is satisfied with this tall and beautiful daughter-in-law, but he is still worried that Li Mi will make the same mistake.
After Chen Yanlin got married, she also found problems between her husband and her father-in-law. She racked her brains to persuade them to reconcile, but to no avail.
Until Chen Yanlin gave birth to her daughter, she also had a clever plan. Chen Yanlin often calls Li Baotian, using her granddaughter as an excuse to let Li Baotian go home.
As a grandfather who loves his granddaughter, Li Baotian couldn't wait to put his wings on when he heard that his granddaughter missed him.
Over the years, the Li family and his son, who met for less than five minutes at a time, have gradually made a qualitative leap. Li Baotian stayed at Li Mi's house for three or four hours, which flattered Li Mi.
But at first, Li Baotian also ignored his son. Li Baotian is a "crazy pet" who refuses to give up holding her granddaughter except when she is nursing.
A closer look, Chen Yanlin found that Li Baotian never ate at her house. She thought that if my father-in-law could stay for dinner, we would have more time together.
Chen Yanlin told this question to her mother-in-law, who immediately answered it.
Chen Yanlin is from Sichuan. Most meals at home are spicy, and the staple food is rice. Li Baotian can't eat spicy food, but prefers pasta. He was afraid that eating less would make his daughter-in-law uncomfortable, so he simply stopped eating.
Chen Yanlin immediately began to learn how to make spaghetti, and the food was no longer spicy. The next time Li Baotian came, I saw a table full of delicious food, and immediately understood my daughter-in-law's good intentions.
From the moment Li Baotian sat down to eat, the iceberg between him and Li Mi began to melt.
Now, Li Baotian is not only reconciled with his son Li Mi, but also can't have a drink for a change when he is in a bad mood.
After getting along, Li Baotian found that his son was no longer an inexperienced little boy and began to appreciate his unremitting efforts for his dream.
Li Baotian loved her two granddaughters and gave them all her life's tenderness.
When Li Mi is at home, Li Baotian will also teach him many years of filming experience. The son who once "failed to live up to expectations" has now become Li Baotian's "closed disciple".
All this is attributed to Chen Yanlin, who can see problems and is good at solving them. This is a father and son who are incompatible with each other. Under her matchmaking, they have become friends.
Chen Yanlin's two children can also grow up happily in a loving family. They only remember their loving grandfather, and have no idea that grandpa used to have a tough and stubborn side.
The fathers of Li Mi and Li Baotian are filial to their parents and set a good example for their children.
In 2020, the Golden Eagle Award was awarded to Li Baotian for Lifetime Achievement. Li Baotian was hale and hearty on the podium, which showed that his retired life must be happy and satisfied.
Chen Yanlin doesn't care whether the elders attend the wedding. But know how to dig deeper reasons, and then rely on yourself to smooth the cracks in the family in a gentle way.
Therefore, one woman can change three generations. Be true: "It is better to have money at home than to have a good wife at home"!
