Do you have such relatives and friends who know that alcohol and tobacco addiction are 100% harmful, but still live a life of smoking and drinking? Even the persuasion of those closest to them can't get them to get rid of this hobby?
Li Qi is such a person. As a high-profile veteran actor in China, his works are almost unknown to everyone. But this actor, who once won the highest honor of the "Plum Blossom Award", lived a very unhealthy life at the peak of his career - smoking two packs of cigarettes a day and drinking 8 taels of liquor fiercely, it is simply child's play with life!
The struggles of Li Qi's artistic career
Speaking of Li Qi's winding artistic path, it was really stumbling and struggling all the way.
Born into a poor rural family, he had to leave his hometown at the age of 15 to work in the countryside. Watching the young people in the countryside around him repeat the same farm work day after day, Li Qi felt an urge to flee in his heart. Just when he was feeling lost about the future, the god of fate reached out to him.
In 1972, he was discovered by the teacher of the Shaanxi People's Art Theater, who was touring the countryside at the time, and was admitted to the theater to study acting. Since then, before going to Beijing, he has been working in Shaanxi for several years.
In 1977, Li Qi came to Beijing's coveted stage with hard work. At the beginning, he started from the most basic small role, and relied on his own diligence and hard work to slowly work hard in the field of stage plays. In 1980, at the age of 35, he won the highest award of the "Plum Blossom Award" in one fell swoop, which was a turning point in his career.
The beginning of the scourge of alcoholism
Who would have expected that while his career was rising step by step, Li Qi's lifestyle had begun to degenerate.
In order to relieve the huge pressure of life, he began to occasionally dip a little wine and smoke a cigarette to relax. But soon, this way of relaxing completely dragged him into the quagmire of the wine pond and meat forest.
When he first came to Beijing, Li Qi drank at most 2 taels of liquor and smoked half a pack of cigarettes every day. But within a few years, the amount of alcohol soared all the way to 8 taels, and the amount of cigarettes also soared to two packs! The number has increased exponentially, which shows how morbidly addicted he is.
The helpless dissuasion of his family seems to be unable to poke his sore spot. What's even more worrying is that Li Qi actually realized that this was self-harm, but he couldn't change his habits even if he was lost in the temptation of alcohol and nicotine. Once, he said to his wife sincerely: "I often regret it when I am sober, but once I fall into the way of the drunkard again, my body loses control."
Health hazards of alcoholism
It didn't take long for Li Qi's alcoholism and smoking to begin to show their terrifying lethality.
First high blood pressure and high blood lipids sent him to the hospital, and then diabetes attacked, so he had to start insulin therapy... A vicious circle begins. Because he was drunk day and night, Li Qi's life and eating habits were all messed up. The physical function deteriorated, and if he couldn't hold on, he had to be hospitalized.
One year, Li Qi was admitted to the ICU for 4 consecutive times! When relatives and friends saw his half-dead tragic state, they all wept bitterly. At that time, his hair and beard were already gray, his spirit was in a trance, his face was withered, and he could no longer see that he was once a glorious star on the stage.
Impact on career and family
The poor wife and children are the most direct victims. Seeing Li Qi getting thinner and thinner, his wife Gao Li and his two sons couldn't wait to pick him up from the hospital immediately, wanting to use the power of family affection to pull him out of the quagmire of alcohol and nicotine.
But alcoholism has always been a stubborn disease, and although Li Qi can occasionally reluctantly quit for a while, he will soon step into the familiar abyss again. The eldest son, An An, always cried and begged him: "Dad, if you continue like this, our son will soon lose sight of you!" The youngest son Jianjian's figure even gained 250 pounds because of excessive sadness!
In this way, Li Qi's family life suffered a great suffering, and his career was on the verge of stagnation. He has been suffering from alcohol for a long time, and he can't play a role that requires a lot of physical strength and energy.
epilogue
Every time I think about all this, I can't help but feel extremely sad for Li Qi and his poor family. An artist who should be prosperous and has a bright future, but is dragged down to such a point by his hobbies, is really the biggest pain and regret in life!
I think the biggest lesson from this incident is that we need to learn to control our desires and stay away from things that are harmful to our bodies. The occasional drink is just a way to seek pleasure, but overindulgence will eventually destroy your future. We should pursue an active and healthy life concept, and devote more time and energy to our career and family, which is the way to a happy and fulfilling life.
I sincerely hope that in the future, Li Qi will be able to completely quit the bad habit of drinking and smoking, rejuvenate himself with his own brilliance, and warm and touch the hearts of more people with his outstanding performances. Friends, let's cheer for Mr. Li Qi together!
From Li Qi's experience, it is not difficult for us to see how alcoholism and tobacco addiction have brought harm to his life. An artist who should have rebuked Fang Xuan and won the crown is unable to get rid of these bad habits, and ends up physically and mentally exhausted, which is really a painful lesson that makes people sigh.
Life is so short, we should cherish it and spend each day in a healthy and beneficial way. Although Li Qi is in his 60s, I believe that as long as he makes up his mind, he will still have time to shake off these vices and embrace light and hope again.
Let's imagine what it would be like if Li Qi had given up drinking and smoking. His muscular body will be rejuvenated, and his gray hair and beard will slowly turn black and shiny. What's more, he will no longer be tormented by illness and will be in a better mental state.
At that time, he may be able to return to the stage and bring more wonderful performances to the audience. An actor who is physically and mentally healthy will be able to convey the artistic charm to the audience to a higher level. I can imagine that when Li Qi performed a new stage role with fighting spirit, the audience would applaud him, and the audience would applaud the audience.
What's even more commendable is that Li Qi's wife and children will also live a happy and healthy life from now on. They no longer have to worry about Li Qi's illness and hobbies, and the whole family can finally regain joy and hope.
A happy family is exactly what Li Qi's life should look like. He has gone through the hardships and hardships of life, and of course, he should enjoy the fragrance and beauty that life gives.
I sincerely hope that Li Qi can draw strength from this lesson and make up his mind to completely stay away from the temptation of alcohol and cigarettes. Only in this way can he devote himself to the cause of art and bring more spiritual food to everyone; Only then can he truly cherish and share the beautiful family and friendship in life.
Life is indeed short, but as long as we live a positive, healthy and sunny life, we will definitely be able to create more possibilities in a limited time. Let's cheer for Mr. Li Qi together, and look forward to his rejuvenation and career take-off!
