In the play, Bai Jingqi's four-room wives and concubines - Huang Chun, Yang Jiuhong, Huaihua and Xiangxiu - are unforgettable. Although some characters are only fleeting in the play, their performance outside the play is equally wonderful, and their beauty is not inferior to the heroine in the play.
Time flies, and to our amazement, the classic TV series "Mansion Gate" has been on the air for 22 years. The story in the play is vivid, as if vivid. Let's walk into this mansion together, relive the joys and sorrows of Bai Jingqi's four-room wives and concubines, understand their life experiences in and out of the play, and feel the charm of this classic play.
Bai Jingqi's emotional journey is like a meandering river, flowing through more than half a century. The starting point of this emotional journey must be traced back to his and Huang Chun's childhood sweethearts.
At the beginning of spring that year, the young Bai Jingqi secretly kissed Huang Chun. This seemingly unintentional move turned out to be the seed of a lifetime of love. The gears of fate turned quietly, and many years later, when the whole family went away to avoid disaster, Bai Jingqi was responsible for staying behind to protect the precious medicinal materials and the old shop.
He and Huang Chun got along in an unmanned cellar for half a year, day and night, and finally became a good thing, this cellar love, like a low singing love song, left the first beautiful mark in Bai Jingqi's life.
However, Bai Jingqi's emotional trajectory is not all smooth sailing. Due to the feud between the Bai family and the Zhan Wangfu, he was kicked out of the Bai family by the second grandmother, and was given an injunction that he could not return to the Bai family without interest.
However, the second grandmother's good intentions laid the foundation for the prosperity and development of the Bai family in the next few generations.
The twists of life did not stop Bai Jingqi's pursuit of love. When he met Yang Jiuhong, his heart was once again ignited by the flame of love. In order to get Yang Jiuhong, he did not hesitate to offend his cousin's father-in-law, and even spent a few days in prison because of this.
However, Bai Jingqi did not regret it at all, he firmly said: "For the sake of women, everything is worth it" This warm feeling is like a fire, illuminating Bai Jingqi's youth.
In Bai Jingqi's emotional world, vigorous love is not the only melody. There are also two women in his life who have come into his life due to fate - Huaihua and Xiangxiu.
The second grandmother was far-sighted and had already seen through Yang Jiuhong's difficulty in shouldering heavy responsibilities, so she carefully selected the docile acacia flowers and the capable Xiangxiu, hoping that they could continue the bloodline for the Bai family and balance the backyard for Bai Jingqi.
Huaihua is a maid that the second grandmother has been looking for a long time and is arranged by her side. After the death of the second grandmother, she naturally became Bai Jingqi's aunt's wife. Xiangxiu is the second wife who married against the rules of the Bai family.
She jumped from a girl from a poor background to the wife of the Bai family, which can be described as "flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix".
Bai Jingqi's emotional experience is like a splendid painting, while Huang Chun, Yang Jiuhong, Huaihua, and Xiangxiu have left an indelible mark on this splendid painting with their own colors. These stories are not only a portrayal of personal emotions, but also reflect the social changes and human nature of that era.
In the magnificent family epic "Mansion Gate", Bai Jingqi's four wives and concubines are like four musical instruments with their own characteristics, playing a touching and profound concerto of life together.
Huang Chun, played by Ru Ping, is the longest melody in this concerto. Her life spans from a young girl to a white-haired old lady, and has experienced more than half a century of vicissitudes.
Huang Chun is Bai Jingqi's original partner, and she is also one of the "double sticks" born to Zhan Wangfu Da Gege, she and Bai Jingqi were childhood sweethearts, and spent an unforgettable half a year in the cellarRu Ping perfectly interpreted Huang Chun's shyness and ignorance from a girl with her superb acting skills,
to the perseverance and wisdom of the woman, and then to the vicissitudes of old age, the age span of this role spans from a girl to an old lady, spanning at least 50 years, and the requirements for actors are extremely highRu Ping's performance is like a cloud, making the audience feel as if they have witnessed a woman's life.
Yang Jiuhong, played by He Saifei, in this series, He Saifei's performance is the most passionate note in this symphony. She met Bai Jingqi in the restaurant, fell in love at first sight, and left everything in order to follow him.
However, fate plunged the second half of her life into the abyss of tragedy, and He Saifei vividly interpreted Yang Jiuhong's infatuation and grievances, making people feel pity for Yang Jiuhong's story, as if it was a low and tactful lamentation, singing the helplessness and struggle of women in that era.
The acacia flower, played by Lei Juan, is like a short and tactful note in the concerto. As the maid of the second grandmother, she has a docile personality, but it is difficult to gain a foothold in the Bai family. Huaihua failed to resist Yang Jiuhong's torture, and finally became unbearable and ended her short life.
Although Lei Juan does not have many scenes, she vividly portrays the weakness and helplessness of Huaihua, and the tragedy of Huaihua is the epitome of the fate of vulnerable women in feudal families, and her story is like a sigh, gently plucking the heartstrings of the audience.
Xiangxiu, the character played by Xie Lan, is the hopeful melody nurtured in this concerto. She is Bai Jingqi's second wife after violating the family's traditional customs, from an ordinary maid to Bai Jingqi's legal wife, Xiangxiu's life experience is like an inspiring legend.
Although she was born poor, she did not have the submissiveness of a maid, and when she was a girl in the Bai family, she received special treatment from the second grandmother Xiangxiu and Bai Jingqi, and the relationship between Xiangxiu and Bai Jingqi gradually warmed up, but due to the matter of Huaihua,
She strengthened her determination not to be a concubine, and finally became Bai Jingqi's legal wife, Xie Lan interpreted Xiangxiu's ingenuity and perseverance just right, showing the resilience of an ordinary woman struggling to survive in troubled times.
The emotional background of the work "Mansion Gate" is jointly shaped by four female characters with their own hearts and experiences. Their joys, sorrows, gains and losses, successes and failures, are intertwined into a period of ups and downs in life.
This not only makes us deeply feel the changes of the times, but also makes us deeply appreciate the complexity of human nature and the depth of life.

Huang Chun, played by Ru Ping, is a very challenging character in this series. She needs to cross from the girlhood stage to the old lady stage, spanning half a century of age span, which requires the actor to have strong acting power and control.

Yang Jiuhong, played by He Saifei, is an unexpected joy. Originally, this role was designed for Jiang Wenli, but Jiang Wenli preferred Bai Yuting's role. After many struggles, the director finally agreed to Jiang Wenli's request, and Yang Jiuhong's role fell through.
At this time, upon recommendation, the director chose the famous Yue Opera actor He Saifei He Saifei has participated in many classic movies, including Zhang Yimou's "The Red Lantern Hangs High", her popularity and strength are first-class, and she successfully interpreted the complex role of Yang Jiuhong with her profound dramatic skills and delicate performances.
