200 1, the shooting of the TV series "China Tracking" in which Li participated is in full swing, and now it is the time to be busy. But on this day, Li, who loves drama, asked for leave and was forced to leave reluctantly by his wife. What happened?

In this hospital, Li and his wife are waiting for the test results. At first, he thought it was just an inflamed area, and his mind was full of thoughts about the next shooting work. But the result surprised him and his wife. Li actually suffered from nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

When I heard the doctor's diagnosis, Yu Haidan was shocked and his mind was blank. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma refers to malignant tumors that occur at the top and side walls of nasopharyngeal cavity. If not treated in time, the five-year mortality rate is as high as 70%-80%. Yu Haidan didn't know how to bear the terrible news.

But when she turned to look at Li, who was completely at a loss, she soon calmed down again. Her seriously ill husband needs her support, and she is about to get bad news. Her son needs her strength as an example. Yu Haidan decided to be strong and tide over the difficulties with her husband.

Li was at a loss when he first learned about his illness, but looking at his determined wife, he also summoned up the courage to fight the disease.

Once the news of Li's cancer came out, it immediately became the focus of attention. How sick is he? Can he still act? Become the most concerned issue for the audience. For Li Lai, the most urgent problem at present is to be hospitalized quickly. Unexpectedly, when his wife advised him to give up his job and rest in peace, he refused Li without hesitation.

When filming the TV series "China Tracking", Li thought that he initiated the filming of "China Tracking" and had to finish it, which was very shameful. If the play stops because of him, it will be a blow to him, and maybe his illness will get worse.

No one can beat this stubborn old man. Under the discussion of everyone, Li's cousin, director Tian Zhuangzhuang, had to go to Ann to take the crew back to Beijing and prepare to continue filming in Beijing.

When Li was seriously ill, he couldn't even swallow a mouthful of water. He feels dizzy and vomits when he is active. The leader of the regiment asked him to stop filming, but Li declined the kindness of the leader. He is passionate about acting and devoted to his work. After talking with Li Riye, his wife also knew that it was impossible to stop her husband's trick of treating the disease, so the husband and wife decided to give up the plan of immediate surgery and change to conservative chemotherapy. Every morning, Li will be driven to the hospital by his wife for chemotherapy, and then rushed to the shooting scene in the afternoon. Anyone with a little medical knowledge knows how much pain Li Cheng suffered and how much mental pressure he suffered. When I saw Li's emaciated face and painful treatment reaction, and saw that he was still striving for perfection, everyone at the scene had a complicated mood, both reverence and heartache. Wu Xianjun, the producer of China Tracking, later recalled: "Every time I went to the shooting scene, I would shoot Li See Xue Jian seriously, but the staff was crying silently. When shooting the last scene, Li spoke very hard, but he still finished a long list of lines in one breath, and the crew present heard tears. " At that time, Li completed the filming of this film with his own life, and his spirit touched everyone around him.

This is a scene in which Zhao, played by Li, bid farewell to the work he loves, and it is also a scene in which Li bid farewell to the crew.

After the filming, Li was admitted to the hospital honestly and began to receive radiotherapy. The side effects of radiotherapy are great. His neck began to fester, and he had to endure pain and vomiting.

It was winter and the Spring Festival was approaching, so the doctor decided to stop for two weeks and let him go to the south to recuperate and recover his strength. When Tian Zhuangzhuang knew about it, he took a family of three to Hainan.

Li recalled: "What was it like? Just like when you go to a restaurant for dinner and ask for a fish, the waiter brings you a live fish. If you think it's okay, he will throw the fish on the ground. The fish may not be dead, but its internal organs must have been smashed. I am a broken fish. Life is worse than death. "

Li also thought about giving up. One day Tian Zhuangzhuang called him, and he cried speechless. Seeing this, Tian Zhuangzhuang told him to hang up and immediately wrote him a letter and faxed it to him.

Li said that he would never forget that letter. The letter said, "We all know that you are in pain. This is a pain that we healthy people can't understand. It is hard to imagine. Can it be harder than when we started our business? At that stage of starting a business, the process was so long, wasn't it much more difficult than you are now? At that time, it was over. Why can't I get through now? You lack the basic spirit of a person. You are a man, what can you do without energy? We are still waiting to cooperate with you to put on more good plays, and you can also create more good roles for the audience. You must be energetic. There is no hard time ... "

Tian Zhuangzhuang's letter encouraged Li to continue his treatment. In the following days, he lost only one eyebrow. After a while, even this eyebrow disappeared.

Li's son was only 13 years old. No one told him what had happened, but seeing his father's appearance and the atmosphere at home, he vaguely felt that something must have happened to his father.

One afternoon, the postman suddenly sent a letter to Li. He opened it and found that it was written by his son. The letter wrote: "You were by my side when I had a high fever; Now that you are ill, I can't take care of you, but I will always think of you, pray for you and bless you. I'm confident. What about you? Don't answer' maybe' or' maybe', just say' yes' to me. My mother and I will accompany you through this difficult road. Although the road will be very difficult, don't forget that there is sunshine on the other side of the road. "

After reading a few lines, Li burst into tears and covered his eyes. Up to now, his son's letter, together with Tian Zhuangzhuang's letter, has been treasured by him. "That is the most precious thing in my life. With the protection and support of his family, he feels that he has become extremely powerful. "

Although the darkness before dawn is difficult, it is also the nirvana in the morning. After active treatment, Li's condition has been effectively controlled. Soon, he returned to the screen and continued his passionate acting career. Li, who has come out of the most painful stage of cancer, is determined to play more and better roles to repay her loved ones.

In 2002, Li returned to the film industry and played Lao Li, the national tax inspector, in the film Supreme. In 2003, he played a rural teacher in The Teacher's Story, an episode of The Story of China. In 2004, he appeared in the films South of the Cloud, Past, Contract Father and Son, and Historical Sky. 20 10 participated in Tangshan earthquake. 20 1 1 won the China Watch Award for the movie Yang Shanzhou. 20 12, 165438+ 10 won the best supporting actor award in Taiwan with 1942 in October. On March 3rd, 2065438, Kloc-0 won the annual "Lifetime Achievement Award" of "China TV Drama Annual Star Festival".

Few people can associate such a large workload and extraordinary achievements with a cancer patient. But the sequelae of the disease are also with you. Radiotherapy seriously affected his hearing, and he couldn't wear hearing AIDS when filming, so he recited each other's lines and looked at each other's mouth and said, this doubled the difficulty of filming, but Li, who loves drama, didn't give up acting.

At that time, he was 60 years old. For many people, he could retire, but Li felt that he was in his prime. If you let him rest at home, he will feel weak.

"I feel very happy eating a box lunch and thinking about the scenes on the set." Say to Li Lai, don't eat or sleep, but he just can't stop acting. Therefore, everyone in the audience called him a "drama madman", and Li's extremely simple and serious personality and passion for performance have also taken root from his childhood.

Li was born in Heze, Shandong. 1965, Li's father was sent to Guizhou as the propaganda minister of Kaili County Committee and moved to Kaili, a mountainous area in Guizhou. Li, 1 1 years old, followed his parents to the mountainous area of Guizhou. In his memory, Guizhou mountains crisscross, and every small piece of soil is full of crops. Trains shuttled through caves, and cars buzzed on winding hills, spewing black smoke. Because Li's father is only an official, his salary is withheld, and the living expenses of the whole family are very small, so his life is very poor. So he often swims across a river with a group of children, instead of playing, he goes to the power plant on the other side to pick up cinders. The river is very wide, and there is a ferry on it. It only costs two cents to sit once, but Li can't bear to swim when he goes. When he comes back, he must take the ferry. What if I'm afraid of getting my clothes dirty? Fold them up, put them in the grass and cover them with leaves. He will never forget the scene of picking up cinders in the power plant. The bucket truck dumped the burnt cinder on the beach by the river, steaming, and the teenagers immediately stopped shouting and laughing. They rushed forward screaming. In the steam and smoke, only children's gasps, the sound of catching cinders and the squeak of burning cinders on the wet beach can be heard. The battle car drove away, and then the laughter of the teenagers could be heard again.

At that time, Li's father was overthrown, and Li was often looked down upon when walking on the road. He lives in the torment of being bullied every day, and he is inexplicably beaten into a routine. For this reason, young Li became a fan of the propaganda team for a simple reason: he envied them and hoped that they would be respected.

Whenever the propaganda team comes to perform a program, Li will immediately drop everything in his hand, fly over without a ticket and sit outside and listen. The applause and cheers at the scene were deeply imprinted in Li's mind. He fantasizes that one day, he can stand in the spotlight and the audience will vote for him.

In junior high school, Li's dream came true: because his Shandong dialect is close to Mandarin, he was selected into the propaganda team!

Since Li was elected to the propaganda team, his life has changed dramatically. He often performs everywhere with the propaganda team. It was fun, singing and dancing on the stage with' Little Red Book' in his hand. He was very happy. The most important thing is that wherever you go, you are welcomed and respected by others. After the performance, everyone applauded and someone could be heard saying, Look, this is someone's child. What makes Li feel most happy is that because of him, his parents' faces are radiant and begin to be respected.

Interview: "My parents are honored because of me. Because of me, my parents are praised and envied. I am so happy, I know what pride is. " It feels good to be respected, and the resentment and grievances in my heart are lighter. I feel that everyone is close, and that feeling is better than anything else. After all, that's why I wanted to be an actor, to be respected and to make my parents proud. "

The motivation of Li's actor dream is actually very simple, that is, for dignity. This is not brilliant and noble, but it is true. And how much longing and calling for love is full of it, perhaps only Li himself knows.

1972, 18-year-old Li was enlisted as a soldier and engaged in amateur propaganda work in the army. When he was a soldier, everyone sang a lot of songs, whether it was exercises, meetings, parties or movies. Li's favorite song is "Unity is strength". As for why I like this song, Li said, "Because there is a story behind it, there is blood and blood. Let people always be alert and always remember that in such a war-torn era,' I would rather die than be conquered'. Now, this sentence is still out of date, and often singing songs of that era is an incentive for us living in peacetime. "

A few years later, Li was transferred to a special engineering unit of the Second Artillery Corps, stationed in a mountain in Yunnan, and worked with everyone to make caves and dig tunnels. On one occasion, the Kunlun Military Region Acrobatic Troupe came to perform for the soldiers. Li's company is stationed on the mountain to carry out the task. Everyone is happy to get the news.

At that time, there was a river at the foot of the mountain, more than 3 meters wide. Because of the drought, the river receded, exposing a large riverbed. The acrobatic troupe improvised a crude stage on the other side of the river. The soldiers sat on the spot, absorbed in the once-in-a-lifetime professional actor's sympathy performance.

Li remembers that there was a program called "Gaotai Racing Team". While everyone was watching with relish, an actress accidentally fell off the stage. Thanks to the safety rope, people hung in mid-air and did not fall to the ground. Li and several soldiers immediately crossed the river to help the actress untie the safety rope.

Maybe she was strangled by a rope, and the actress vomited one mouthful blood. Everyone present was frightened, and the actress didn't say anything. She rinsed her mouth with water and then went on stage to perform. After the performance, she was helped off the stage.

The actor's performance brought a strong shock to Li. Although he occasionally appeared in amateur performance teams before, he only thought that being an actor was a beautiful and respectable profession. Unexpectedly, actors can also sacrifice themselves and light others up.

From then on, Li vowed to become an actor, and devoted himself to art like the actor who influenced his life but still didn't know his name. From then on, he became more obsessed with the performing arts, and devoted himself to it in his spare time, and soon became the main entertainment backbone of the company.

After the downfall of the Gang of Four, all major armies resumed their theatrical troupes, and he was admitted to the Air Administration Theatre through the teacher's introduction. Li Gang was the vice monitor of the students' class when he joined the Air Administration Art Troupe. Later, he was assigned to the first performance team. His performance is the best among the actors in the same group. Besides studying business seriously, he also learns from Lei Feng to do good deeds. Who didn't burn, he went to help buy coal and moved from the bottom of the building to the top of the building; Who didn't eat? He went to the grain store and transferred to the farmer's market. There was a rice bag on the seat and a vegetable basket on the handlebar. Outsiders thought he was a cookhouse squad. Before going to bed every night, Li puts the broom under the bed and gets up early to sweep the road. In those two years, Li won many honorary certificates such as "model", "advanced element" and "activist".

In his memory, because he has the condition of "little rebellion", the first protagonist in the troupe is bandit soldier B, not just A, but he is also very satisfied. Bandit soldier b is also a big man in his heart. Li didn't neglect, rehearsed carefully, and both played well with B. Later, he played A, starting with A as the bandit squad leader, and that squad leader, and another one.

Interview: Maybe you are not familiar with it. There is an old actor in Beijing Film Factory. His name is An Zhenjiang. He plays a little spy in Scout, because the images that Teacher An Zhenjiang showed me are all little rebellions, so he is my idol. I dare not be an idol. I don't think I am qualified to be an idol. . .

199 1 year, the shock wave triggered by the indoor drama Desire swept the screen. At that time, there was a saying among the people that "the whole country mourned, the whole country cursed the king, and the whole people lamented", which became a unique landscape of that year. Song Dacheng, the "good man" in the film, entered the hearts of the audience with his unique personality characteristics of simplicity, kindness, sincerity and some timidity. And it was Li who lived this ordinary little person.

Interview: It's because his father Lu Wei is an old director. Before I became a formal actor, I worked as a walk-on and handyman in his plays. Finally, I said that theatrical troupes of major arms resumed enrollment. He introduced me to the Air Force Administration. He said the child can't be an actor, but he could be an artist, carpenter, prop, "landscaping" and handyman, anything, son. So he asked his son Xiaowei Lu to play it for me, saying that my age and experience were similar to those of Song Dacheng, and he asked me to play it, so that I had a * * * sound with this role. I didn't expect the play to be so warmly welcomed by the audience at that time. I think the most popular point of this drama is to call for truth, kindness, being a kind person and being a beautiful person.

When "Desire" was in full swing, the leader met all the staff of the film crew of "Desire". Knowing that there are many difficulties in everyone's life, he said, "You can have anything except a house and try your best to solve it."

Opportunity is rare, everyone has demands and desires. Li's request is to give him a complete wish video. This requirement reminded the leader, who said, "This is necessary, and everyone has a set." As a result, Li said nothing.

Li said, "Some people do have difficulties, so if there is such a good opportunity, just say it. I thought for a long time and found that I really didn't have any special difficulties. When there were difficulties before, there was no such opportunity. So I asked for a tape of Desire. "

Someone asked him at that time, "How much money do you have?" He doesn't keep a secret at all: "What you get and what you don't get, 30,000 to 40,000." And this money, including 18 thousand, was slowly saved by him in his early years. He has saved this 18 thousand for eight years.

His friends laughed at him. He said he didn't have much money to spend. Earn some money for his son and give it to him when he dies. Friends laughed at him again: at that time, this 18 thousand will become 1.8. Such a big star really can't make money. Li retorted, "it's not that I don't want to make money, but that I don't make money that shouldn't belong to me." I work hard, earn a lot of money, and have a solid heart. Only by being practical can you do what you like. It's not easy for me to get this far today. I will act in the future. This is a great event. I don't want to delay myself because of other things. Fame and fortune, I value fame, of course, it is not a false name. If there is a false name, I am not practical, so I have to concentrate on my tricks. "

This year, Li won the Best Actor Award in the 9th Golden Eagle Award and the Best Supporting Actor Award in the 1 1 Flying Award for his wonderful performance of Desire. Later, Li got the chance to star in Jiao with his hard work and piety. In order to get closer to the prototype of Jiao, Li, who was white and fat at that time, ate Chinese cabbage for three months. The film Jiao also ushered in the peak of Li's career. Because of his acting skills in this movie, he became the best actor in the Golden Rooster Award and Hundred Flowers Award at that time.

Success brought flowers and applause to Li, followed by invitations from all directions. In an interview, Li himself broke the news that for a time, the joy of success filled his life. He called himself "very depraved" and said that those days were "unbearable", and he often "drank in a big bowl" and "ate meat in chunks".

Therefore, one role is a failure, and even if it is turned out to see this role now, he will feel very ashamed. So what role does Li still have?

Born tells the story that General Shi Feng and scientist Lu Guangda led scientific research troops to overcome many difficulties in the northwest desert and finally completed the first atomic bomb explosion in China. Among them, Li's role won the government award and was recognized by the public. Li looked at himself on the screen, sitting alone in the room, thinking thoughtfully. Although he won the prize, he felt very sorry.

Interview: But this role, I think people at that time, at that time, were very hard in that environment, just finished fighting, so they were very thin. I am fat on the screen just because he is fat. I have such a knot in my heart all my life. What knot? When I was not famous, I played Lin Biao on the stage. I lost more than 20 kilograms for my image. At that time, the play was recognized in the circle. Later, I took a shot, because I just finished filming Desire. At that time, I was very fat In order to lose weight, I lost more than 20 kilograms a month. The commander of "Born Out" was shot after he became famous, so why didn't I think of losing weight when I shot this role? I am ashamed of this, so this fat character will never be forgotten in my life. I also think that because of this fat character, I will always be sorry for the audience.

At around 200 1, Li was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which gave him a chance to stop and think about what he had. It is also these days that Li, who has experienced the disaster of life and death, suddenly wakes up and is determined to change himself. To outsiders, getting sick was a disaster for Li Lai, but for Li himself, it turned a bad thing into a good thing. After Li became ill, he gave up drinking, smoking and playing mahjong. It is this serious illness that makes him feel that life is short and precious. I think there are only a few chances in one's life. From then on, all he asked himself was to hit one and take one. Because he knows his physical condition and can't shoot many plays, the success rate is more important to him. But Li admitted publicly that he was not afraid of death like some people. "I am still afraid of death. Because I am not dead, I want to live more interestingly. "

In the following days, Li tried his best to play every role well. He thinks this is an attitude, the most basic attitude an actor should have. From the actor's point of view, it is the role's situation, not the character. All people, in life, are considering their own situation, not their own personality characteristics.

Therefore, when an actor plays a role, he should also pay attention to the reaction to the situation in which the role is located. In this way, once an actor enters the specified situation, he can produce real thoughts and feelings similar to the role and create a living person. Otherwise, it's just a rigid personality pattern or Facebook.

Because of this, Li often appears in factories and rural areas, and stays for ten days and a half. He wants to see how cleaners use brooms, listen to what drivers often say, and watch how blind people light cigarettes. Even in every moment of daily life, he seems to turn himself into an eye and silently observe every detail in life.

After Li came back, major media and columns sent invitations to him one after another. Among them, the "Art Life" program looked for Li several times, but he refused. Someone asked him why, and he said, "artistic life" is very important to him. His idea is that without a group of representative works, you can't talk about life until you are 60 years old. Life is 60 ears. He can only bear to be praised and scolded by others. Less than this age, may not be able to bear it. Looking back on Li's life, we can easily find that Li has hardly participated in many entertainment programs. It turns out that the standard for him to take the play is to be interested, at least in line with his values: it can't be pure entertainment, pure nonsense; Whether it is entertainment or education, there must be artistic pursuit. For example, many goofs, clothes and hairstyles are not particular, which sounds trivial, but over time, the audience will despise the profession of actors and will not take it seriously. Old people say that the profession of actor is an engineer of the mind, which is very sacred. Therefore, Li believes that the audience should not be confused about an actor's career, which is unacceptable to him.

When the movie "Yang Shanzhou" was released in China, his wife watched the whole movie here alone, while Li went to Yunnan. The day's premiere in Kunming, Yunnan was a great success.

Back in the dormitory at night, Li wanted to know about the screening in Beijing, so he called his lover. Unexpectedly, this phone call kept Li awake all night.

It turned out that his wife told him on the phone: There are eight screening halls in the cinema near here, and it is still after noon 12. There is only one scene, only two audiences, one of whom is herself. At the same time, "Transformers" is being shown in China, with a box office of over 100 million yuan in just one day.

After hearing the news, Li stayed up all night. He doesn't quite understand that Transformers is a very good movie, but it is only an advertisement for advanced American weapons. It is also heroism. Yang Shanzhou is the heroism of the poor mountainous areas of the Chinese nation. Why is our heroism left out by the market? "。

Interview: A friend once told me that the organization has tickets for his son to go. His son didn't want to go at first, so he told him that you had to go. Do you think if you don't go, will you go to Li See Dada in the future? My friend and child sent me a message after reading it, saying that he was crying after reading it, and then I sent him a message. I cried when I said I would return your message.

The short message sent by a friend's son inspired Li, and he was very happy, because in this era, an old man and a good man like Yang Shanzhou can be recognized by his children, and he feels very precious. Unexpectedly, not long after, at 19 Beijing University Student Film Festival 20 12, Li won the "Best Actor Award" for his film Yang Shanzhou.

Previously, he always thought that he was "unpopular among young audiences and his works were not very concerned". Therefore, among all the awards he won, Li especially favored that college student's award. He felt that children must read the awards before they can evaluate them, so he really read them carefully and discussed them seriously. Finally, they gave the prize to Yang Shanzhou, and they also put forward very sharp opinions. So Li took this trophy to Yunnan and put it in Yang Shanzhou. He wants the elderly to see the memories of college students and children in the spirit of heaven. Li will work harder in future performances. He wants to use some of his later roles to reflect some of his inner things and tell the children to face their own reality and not rely on themselves.

20 14 When he participated in the program recording in Beijing Normal University, he didn't mention the Golden Horse, Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers he had taken, but only remembered the prize given to him by the "College Student Film Festival". Li is in poor health, but whenever a student asks questions, he stands up, leans slightly, keeps respect and humility at any time, and practices the concept of paying equal attention to acting and being a man.
