Mr. Kou Zhenhai, who is close to his prime, although his life journey is full of thorns, but in his later years, he has found a path full of happiness and tranquility. Although the vicissitudes of time have long left deep traces on his face, his figure still looks majestic and upright, and his demeanor is shining.
He is still active on the screen he loves, and has created many "old handsome" images who can still stick to justice after ups and downs, and these roles have been vividly interpreted by him, winning warm applause and heartfelt praise from the audience.
Off the screen, he has a warm and happy family. 14-year-old Kou Jiabao is undoubtedly the greatest gift he has received at this age, and it is also the greatest blessing in his life.
As an elderly father, Kou Zhenhai knows that overspoiling will have a negative impact on children, so in the process of raising children, he always adheres to strict standards and norms, and never allows his son to breed any arrogance and complacency.
Despite his advanced age, in order to spend more quality time with his son, witness him grow into a mature and stable man, and build his own family, Kou Zhenhai has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and attaches great importance to his own health.
He insists on doing a moderate amount of exercise every day to keep his body fit, which is undoubtedly the greatest comfort to his family. Even in the midst of a busy job, he always finds time to play with his son, listen to his son's voice, and use his rich life experience to help his children solve problems.
On weekends or holidays, the whole family comes together to have fun. Kou Zhenhai will gaze at his wife and two daughters with gratitude, and his face will be filled with the most satisfying smile in his life.
In this home, it is full of the most sincere love and cherishment, and it is also filled with the most sincere care and support. This is Kou Zhenhai's greatest happiness in his later years, and it is also his lifelong pursuit and wish.
If we want to trace Kou Zhenhai's acting career, we have to go back to his original starting point - the stage of Pingju. As a young man, Kou Zhenhai devoted himself to this ancient opera industry, and with his outstanding talent and unwavering perseverance, he quickly rose to prominence and became the core actor of the troupe.
The turning point occurred in 1979, when Kou Zhenhai was appreciated by the film production team for his wonderful performance in the film "Ao Lei Yilan", and officially started his brilliant film and television career.
At first, he played the role of the strange and charismatic Obuku with his exquisite skills, which undoubtedly became a solid first step in his career!
However, Kou Zhenhai's truly well-known and impressive role for audiences across the country is the legendary protagonist he later portrayed in many TV series - Zhang Xueliang, a young marshal of the Republic of China. Relying on a stable acting foundation and excellent acting skills, Kou Zhenhai successfully brought the soul image of this legendary figure to life in front of the audience, winning warm praise from the audience.
At that time, Kou Zhenhai was personable and heroic, as if he was a true reproduction of Zhang Shaoshuai. He uses delicate emotional expressions to deeply interpret the integrity and calmness exuded by this hard-fought character.
There is no doubt that it is this role that has made Kou Zhenhai establish an irreplaceable position in the film and television industry.
After entering the new millennium, Kou Zhenhai, who is already over half a hundred years old, did not stand still because of this, on the contrary, he incarnated as a "master professional" and opened up a new path in a new film and television work.
Whether it is portraying the gloomy but short-tempered "Black Panther" Lu Zhenhua in "Deep Love and Rain", or playing the ruthless Beiyang warlord Prime Minister Jin Quan in "The Family of Gold Powder", or playing the founding emperor Li Yuan in "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", Kou Zhenhai has shown breathtaking acting skills.
He is good at perceiving the complex changes in the hearts of characters, and vividly expresses the unique personality of each character through delicate emotional depictions. This profound skill stems not only from his years of basic training, but also from his firm pursuit of art.
Because of this, whenever Kou Zhenhai appears on the screen, he can always bring a deep impression to the audience.
However, behind Kou Zhenhai's brilliant acting career, there is an unforgettable marriage experience. In order to pursue his career ideals, he had to make a choice in his first marriage, which eventually led to the tragic end of a broken family and the separation of relatives.
At that time, Kou Zhenhai was fortunate to be selected by the crew of "Ao Lei Yilan", thus opening the acting career he dreamed of. At first, he thought he could find a balance between career and family.
However, reality poured cold water on him and made him realize that it was an unattainable goal.
In order to be admitted to the advanced course of Beijing Film Academy, Kou Zhenhai had to travel for a long time, neglecting the company and care of his relatives at home, especially his wife and young children. Coupled with the high cost of tuition fees, the economic situation of families who are not wealthy has become more and more severe, and life has fallen into unprecedented hardship and constraints.
Seeing his wife becoming more and more emaciated and the children not being properly cared for, Kou Zhenhai felt a heavy sense of responsibility and guilt in his heart. He was clearly aware that he was moving away from the family that had once been full of warmth.
However, on the other hand, he can't let go of his love for acting and his expectations for the future. Kou Zhenhai struggled with a dilemma, and in the end, he had to take on the heavy responsibility, chose to separate from his wife, and raised his daughter Kou Aluo alone.
After the divorce, Kou Zhenhai did not usher in the brilliant development of his career as expected, but fell into a more difficult predicament. He was eager to stay in Beijing for development, but he never won the favor of any film and television company.
once thought that all his past efforts and efforts would be in vain.
However, it was this firm belief in his dreams that made Kou Zhenhai finally find a new breakthrough. Although most of the roles he plays are the "old handsome" image that is difficult for the audience to accept, he has won more and more people's love and praise with his superb acting skills to bring each role to life.
Since then, Kou Zhenhai has stepped into a new chapter in his life and gradually emerged in the film and television industry. However, behind this journey, he also paid an extremely heavy price.
If it is said that Kou Zhenhai can regain happiness in his later years, the reason largely stems from his wife Li Ting. This woman, who is 21 years younger than him, met Kou Zhenhai by chance, and her sincere love for this kind and upright elder made their fate doomed at that moment.
The story began in 2003, when 49-year-old Kou Zhenhai was invited to participate in the TV series "Flower Drifting" adapted from Mr. Zhao Xinghua's novel.
In the crew, he met the youngest rookie actor for the first time - Li Ting.
Although the age gap between the two leading actors is very large, Li Ting still can't resist the strong attraction brought by Kou Zhenhai's resolute and righteous face. During the filming process, as an experienced senior in the industry, Kou Zhenhai gave her endless encouragement and selfless help to her, and took care of her as if she were her own.
During that time, Li Ting was surprised to find that a special emotion gradually sprouted in her heart for this kind and approachable elder. At first, she thought it might be a short-lived infatuation, but it wasn't long before the deep crush took root in her heart.
At that moment, Li Ting didn't even realize that she had devoted herself to this role. And Kou Zhenhai was also deeply touched by this innocent and flawless love, and their hearts seemed to have begun to get closer to each other at that moment.
After the filming was over, Li Ting silently made up her mind and mustered up the courage to confess her heart to Kou Zhenhai. Despite the age gap between the two, she is still firmly in love with this wise and upright man.
When Kou Zhenhai first heard about this kind woman's affectionate confession, his first reaction was to politely refuse.
However, Li Ting's persistent pursuit deeply moved Kou Zhenhai. In order to let her know this relationship more clearly, Kou Zhenhai decided to invite her home and let her meet his baby daughter Kou Aluo.
Surprisingly, after getting along with Li Ting, her daughter was deeply impressed by this considerate stepmother, and the two quickly established a deep friendship.
Seeing his daughter's love for Li Ting and Li Ting's infatuated love for herself, Kou Zhenhai's deep doubts finally disappeared. In this way, a wonderful marriage that transcends the boundaries of age quietly came to his life.
