In 1978, Zhang Yi was born in an intellectual family in Harbin.

Zhang Yi’s parents are both educators, his mother is a Chinese teacher, and his father has been engaged in music education.

In order to cultivate his son's talents when he was a child, Zhang Yi's father prepared many musical instruments for his son.

After all, he is very proficient in music. As long as he cultivates it carefully, he should be able to inherit his father's legacy in the future.

But Xiao Zhangyi didn't like his father's playing and playing things very much. He liked the correct and well-spoken broadcasts by the hosts on TV.

Although the black and white TV at that time had only a few pitiful channels, Xiao Zhangyi would wait there early every day, waiting for the host to broadcast the news.

Seeing his son so serious, the father couldn't say anything else.

But he knew in his heart that in order to be a successful host, in addition to having good eloquence, he also needed to have handsome appearance.

His son's appearance really made him a little worried.

But Zhang Yi didn't understand, and he didn't want to think so much.

Until he took the college entrance examination, he was still focused on getting into the Beijing Broadcasting Institute.

Beijing Broadcasting Institute is now the Communication University of China.

In the first college entrance examination, Zhang Yi successfully passed the professional course exam, but because he had not graduated from high school, he was not qualified to take the cultural course exam and missed Beiguang.

During the college entrance examination in the second year, Zhang Yi, who was obsessed with Beiguang, only filled in the name "Beiguang" on the application list.

You must know that in the college entrance examination back then, students were required to fill in their application before the exam. In order to allow some students who did not pass the first choice to study, one candidate could fill in many applications.

But the stubborn Zhang Yi firmly does not want such "welfare". He does not want to go anywhere except Beiguang.

Soon, young Zhang Yi paid the price for his pride.

Back then, Beiguang only recruited two students in Heilongjiang, and Zhang Yi happened to be the third one.

Since he did not apply to other schools, he undoubtedly became what his parents said was a failure.

Just when he failed in the college entrance examination, the aunt from the neighborhood committee quickly made up for it and sent him an "Unemployed Youth Certificate."

In fact, this "Unemployment Certificate" is very useful. With it, you not only get benefits in technical training, but you can also use it when looking for a job in the future.

But Zhang Yi, who wanted to get into a prestigious school, looked at this "unemployment certificate" and felt more and more uncomfortable.

He doesn’t want to be unemployed at home, let alone spend his life in mediocrity.

At that time, it happened that the Harbin Drama Academy was recruiting people to study drama. Although he didn’t like it very much, Zhang Yi, who failed the college entrance examination, no longer had the arrogance he once had.

He quickly packed his bags and went to school.

Unexpectedly, after half a year of study, Zhang Yi discovered that in addition to broadcasting, drama performances were also so interesting.

He fell in love with drama and regarded it as his life goal.

In 1997, he came to Beijing alone to act in a play and became a member of the "Beijing Drifters" army.

During that time, Zhang Yi, whose job was extremely unstable, suffered a lot.

When he was at his poorest, he only ate one pack of instant noodles in three days. In order to facilitate storage, he did not dare to eat them soaked in water. When he was hungry, he would take a piece of instant noodles from the bag to satisfy his hunger.

Later, a sanitation worker saw that he was really pitiful and gave him a plate of steaming dumplings. Only then did he recover from his hunger.

A few months later, through a friend’s introduction, he joined the Beijing Comrades Repertory Theater and became an art soldier in the army.

There, he met many good friends, including Xiao Jian, who played "Yan Xiaoliu", and Liang Linlin, who played "Xiu Qin" in "Bright Sword".

However, several years of life in the art troupe did not allow him to achieve the success he imagined. Instead, he was nicknamed "Donkey Face" because of his ugly appearance.

When the colleagues who played together all played the leading role, he was still the clown who performed the double act at the party.

Later, the boss felt that he was average-looking and not very good at acting, so he slowly began to train him and let him write reports in the office.

In 2000, Zhang Yi, who had not made any progress in his acting career, was promoted to a clerk because of his outstanding writing skills.

Although life has become much easier, Zhang Yi is still not satisfied with the status quo.

At the same time, his love also came quietly.

At that time, Zhang Yi, who loved acting, always studied the script alone. Although there was no use for it, he still did not give up.

In the troupe, a girl quietly noticed him. She was Zhang Yi's hometown. Her father was an officer and her mother was a famous drama actress.

She was both curious and admired about Zhang Yi's hard study.

The two often communicate together and read various scripts together.

Over time, Zhang Yi fell in love with the girl. This was his first love.

At that time, the unit stipulated that soldiers were not allowed to fall in love casually.

Therefore, Zhang Yi wanted to go home with the girl and finalize the marriage first.

Unexpectedly, the prospective mother-in-law was very dissatisfied with the appearance of her son-in-law, saying that he did not look like an actor at all, but looked like a brigade accountant, and his face looked as if someone had been sitting on it.

Zhang Yi, who was deeply hit, returned to the work unit disappointed. Under the dual pressure of the girl's parents and the work unit, he was forced to break up with the girl.

In 2002, Zhang Yi was rehearsing the drama version of "Soldier Assault" in the army. At that time, he was the B character.

The title "B corner" sounds high-end, but it is actually the backup lineup of actors.

As long as the protagonist has time and wants to act, he will never get the chance to play.

Only when the protagonist is tired of acting, or the director wants to save money and reduce the cost of actors, will the B character occasionally come on stage.

Although he was not taken seriously, Zhang Yi still memorized the script seriously.

In 2004, director Kang Honglei wanted to adapt this play into a TV series, which later became the hit drama "Soldier Assault".

After receiving the news, Zhang Yi quickly wrote to Director Kang, saying that he wanted to play "Xu Sanduo".

But unexpectedly, Director Kang had a firm opinion. "Xu Sanduo" would definitely not work. He could be given the role of "Squad Leader Shi".

Zhang Yi, who has never acted in a TV series, is particularly eager to act. Since the protagonist "Xu Sanduo" cannot do it, "Class Leader Shi" can also make do with it.

So, he quickly began to study the role of "Shi Jin".

Ban Zhang was born in a peasant family and has an honest personality, but he is very strong-willed in life.

This character and situation are very similar to Zhang Yi, who has been depressed in the theater troupe for a long time.

By filming this drama, Zhang Yi successfully made the audience remember him, and he also quietly became popular in the industry.

But while filming this famous work, Zhang Yi received a piece of news.

The first girlfriend he wanted to marry was in a car accident and was seriously injured.

After learning the news, he rushed to the hospital immediately and wanted to do something for the girl.

Who knew that after the doctor’s rescue, the girl’s life was saved, but she turned into a vegetative state.

At that time, Zhang Yi had an in-depth exchange with the doctor.

The doctor told him that her situation was very similar to that of the girl in the car. The girl only lasted two months and died.

Hearing the news, Zhang Yi felt remorseful and regretful.

What I regret is that if I had persisted a little longer, I might have been able to protect her by her side.

Unfortunately, I thought that breaking up with her would give her a better destination, but I didn't expect this result.

In 2014, the girl passed away, and Zhang Yi protected her with his sincerity for ten years.

Once, when he was talking to a girl, tears suddenly fell from the corners of her eyes.

He happily called the doctor and said, "There is a reaction, the patient is conscious."

But after the doctor carefully examined it, he still shook his head helplessly at Zhang Yi.

After experiencing the regret of this first love, Zhang Yi understood that in love, when you meet the right person, you must hold on tightly, otherwise it will be too late to regret it once there are other consequences.

In 2006, Zhang Yi went to China Central Radio Station to record a radio drama called "Tan Mengxi".

After the filming, it suddenly started to rain heavily. Zhang Yi stood on the roadside to hide from the rain, waiting for the rain to stop.

It happened that the host Qian Linlin discovered this scene. She gave Zhang Yi an umbrella and said, it will be a while before I get off work. You can take my umbrella and go home first.

With this "fate under the same umbrella", Zhang Yi and Qian Linlin gradually became familiar with each other.

At that time, Zhang Yi wanted to treat Qian Linlin to dinner, but he was in a poor state and did not have much money.

In the end, he ordered two bowls of beef noodles for only 16 yuan.

But Qian Linlin doesn't like noodles, but if she asks Zhang Yi for something else, she's afraid that Zhang Yi won't have the money to do so.

So Qian Linlin finished the noodles cooperatively, and the two chatted happily.

In fact, Qian Linlin had an unhappy marriage before she met Zhang Yi.

Her ex-husband is "chess marshal" Zheng Hong.

Due to his profession of Go, Zheng Hong likes quietness very much. Sometimes he will study a move for a whole day.

Qian Linlin is an outgoing girl who loves to play and laugh.

Their marriage was a mistake from the beginning.

In two years, Qian Linlin not only did not experience any happiness, but also felt very lonely.

When I met Zhang Yi, it happened to be a window of six months after Qian Linlin's divorce.

Through communication with Zhang Yi, Qian Linlin learned about his story with his ex-girlfriend who was in a vegetative state, and felt that he was a man worth trusting.

As for Zhang Yi, although he also knew that Qian Linlin was divorced and had a child, he particularly liked her cheerful and considerate personality.

At that time, Zhang Yi had a lot of worries in his heart, but he did not want to repeat the mistakes of his first love. He decided to hold on to love tightly and accept this second-married woman.

I have to say that Qian Linlin is indeed a sensible and good woman.

In 2006, Zhang Yi and Qian Linlin, who had nothing, obtained their certificates in Beijing, rented a one-bedroom building and got married.

Qian Linlin has no complaints about her poor life.

As for Zhang Yi, his career is getting better and better after having Qian Linlin as his virtuous wife.

He not only starred in the popular drama "My Captain, My Group", but also starred in "The Line of Life and Death" directed by Kong Sheng.

In 2012, he finally used the money he earned to buy a new house for his family.

In order to fear that his wife would not feel safe after he became famous, he not only handed over financial power to Qian Linlin, but also tied his bank card to his wife's mobile phone.

As for Qian Linlin, faced with Zhang Yi's integrity and thoughtfulness, she often brought her parents-in-law to Beijing to stay for a short while. During the holidays, the two of them would go back to their hometown in Harbin to cook for their parents.

In 16 years, Zhang Yi not only became the double actor of "Magnolia" and "Golden Rooster Award" with "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky" and "Above the Cliff", but he has never had any scandals. He has always regarded his stepson as his own child.

In marriage, he not only kept the integrity and bottom line of a soldier, but also kept his pure heart.
