Many people believe that people should choose a comfortable retirement without financial pressure.
The famous "old drama bone" Li Guangfu is not like this.
He is a rich second generation, living in a luxurious courtyard house since he was a child, and his family is very wealthy.
Li Guangfu did not stay in the entertainment industry because he needed money, but because he really loved acting.
He is the "tattered marquis" in "Under the Zhengyang Gate",
is "Zheng Xipo" in "In the Name of the People",
is also the calculating "three masters" in "Love in the Courtyard"
Or "Hu Yaobang" in "Deng Xiaoping at the Turning Point of History......
Li Guangfu, 77 years old.
He is a national first-class actor and a member of a happy family, living in a priceless old Beijing courtyard house, and proud of his son.
How is he doing now?
Li Guangfu was born in 1946, the son of Li Baozhu, a well-known businessman in Beijing, and a conservative mother.
Their family is in a courtyard house of more than 300 square meters in Beijing.
This is not an ancestral industry, but the result of Li Baozhu's years of hard work.
Lee's father was a businessman in his own right, who began his career in the business world at the age of 13 and eventually became a multinational businessman.
Undeterred, he opened several power plants in the northeast, which were later forced to close, but he turned to other industries and exchanged cloth for a courtyard house in Beijing after the war.
Today, this may seem a little unbelievable, but,
In that era of scarcity, cloth was more precious than gold!
Thanks to his father's success, Lee Guangfu's childhood was quite extravagant, with toys being gold bars and snacks being imported chocolate beans.
Li Guangfu's childhood was full of color, his father attached great importance to business, and paid more attention to the accumulation of culture, which led him to see various cultural scenes.
This laid a solid foundation for Lee Kwang-fu's later acting career.
After the death of Lee Kwang-fu's father, the family fell into difficulties, and the once wealthy life suddenly became poor.
During that difficult period, he used his savings to treat his mother's illness, and his life was full of ups and downs.
In the tempering of life, he learned various skills, and even came in handy in the crew because of his knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine.
No matter how hard life is, you have to go on, and Li Guangfu still insists on his artistic dream.
He was never satisfied with a comfortable life, but pursued the love of his heart.
He could have chosen an easy life, inherited the family business, ate and drank without worry, and lived a worry-free life, but decided to engage in the entertainment industry.
This is something that is difficult for many people to do.
Finally, when he was 13 years old, he was accepted by Beijing Renyi in a special form.
In Beijing Renyi, he has played countless small but beautiful roles, and each role has poured all his heart and soul into it.
"Teahouse", "Thunderstorm", "The First Floor of the World" and other important plays have his wonderful performances.
Over the years, his acting skills have become increasingly sophisticated, and he has been well received by audiences and critics.
He believes that only by understanding each character deeply can the role be interpreted to the fullest.
He was once severely criticized in Renyi for his excessive enthusiasm for acting, but he never gave up.
Lee Kwon Fu's attitude towards life remains positive.
He firmly believes that every role has its own unique value, and the most down-to-earth roles are often the most difficult to play.
He has created countless classic roles on the screen,
"Deshun Ye" in "The Road of Life",
"Hou Lang" in the polite Chinese medicine master "Song Yiren",
"Wei Zheng" in "The Legend of Wu Meiniang",
In addition to TV dramas, Lee Kwang-fu is also active on the big screen and various public events.
Seven years ago, he won the Best Actor Award for his outstanding performance in the commercial film "Lao Zhang's Reunion Year".
Last year, he was nominated for the Golden Lotus Award for Best Supporting Actor at the 14th Macao International Television Festival for his film "Hou Lang".
In his personal life, Lee's story is equally moving.
Lee Kwang-fu only married at the age of 36, and his marriage to his wife, Ho Guisheng, was built on mutual understanding and respect.
The two have very different personalities, but they are highly compatible on a spiritual level.
He Guisheng is a capable strong woman, and the two got married soon after they met, and soon had a smart son.
Lee Kwang-fu realized that it was difficult to meet the needs of normal life with the income from acting alone.
He began to try various side hustles, from selling newspapers to selling photocopiers as an agent, which not only solved the financial problems, but also allowed him to focus more on his artistic creation.
Ho Guisheng is in charge of the overall situation at home, while Lee Guangfu is happy to help his wife in small matters.
Their son, Li Yi, was influenced by his family's good education and eventually became an excellent lawyer.
Li Wei has achieved excellent results in his studies and has become an excellent lawyer, handling cases worth hundreds of millions.
Li Guangfu is extremely proud of this, and often says that he will participate in the film project invested by his son.
The family is harmonious and happy, and the son has achieved great things.
Lee Guangfu himself also enjoys enough fame and wealth, but he is still insisting on acting at a great age.
Everyone said of him:
"I have the life of a young master, but I have the disease of loving to work."
Whenever someone asked him why he was not happy in his old age, he always replied with a smile:
"Because I love acting."
Not because of fame and fortune, but because of love.
He said:
"Good days are all made of struggle!"
His life and career, like the flowers and trees he carefully cultivated in the courtyard, gradually blossomed and bore fruit over time.
Recently, Li Guangfu became popular because of his wonderful performance in the large-scale cultural program "Exploring China".
In the show, his performance of "Shou" is eye-catching.
He led young people to practice traditional guiding movements, which reminded many netizens of the scene of following the radio gymnastics when they were students, and sighed:
"Who knows?! He's really like the leader in our school. ”
Li Guangfu smiled and didn't say anything, just smiled and recommended everyone to watch "Exploring China in a Simplified Manner" to feel the charm of traditional culture.
Today, at the age of 77, he is still active on the screen.
A true artist will not be erased by time.
No matter how difficult life is, as long as you have passion and perseverance, you can live your own wonderful life.
