In 1958, Wang Luoyong was born in an ordinary family in Luoyang, Henan. His mother was of Shanghai descent, which led him to an indissoluble bond with theatre at a very young age. Since childhood, Wang Luoyong has shown a strong interest in Henan Henan opera, and at the same time, he also has a deep grasp of Shanghai's cultural charm.
These early artistic experiences laid a solid foundation for his later artistic achievements. In 1971, 13-year-old Wang Luoyong was faced with a life choice. He deeply loved acting, so he resolutely decided to be admitted to a local opera school and began the arduous and challenging road of learning Peking Opera.
In order to improve his skills, every day before dawn, the young Wang Luoyong had to get up and practice his voice from winter to spring, year after year, the hard training exercised his will, and laid a solid foundation for his future acting career.
However, Wang Luoyong's desire for art burned like a raging fire in his heart. Just four or five years of Peking Opera training could not satisfy his passion. At the age of 17, the French horn caught his eye.
Therefore, he decided to embark on a new journey and was admitted to the Wuhan Conservatory of Music to study French horn, which not only enriched his artistic quality, but also made his life more exciting.
At the age of 19, Wang Luoyong returned to work in the Shiyan Art Troupe with love. However, the monotonous life of the art troupe did not satisfy his enterprising spirit. He began to seek new opportunities in his spare time to pave the way for his future.
Between 1980 and 1981, Wang Luoyong's dream of drama was rekindled, and he signed up for the examinations of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts, Shanghai Theater Academy and many other schools. Finally, the god of fate blessed this determined and persistent young man.
In 1981, 23-year-old Wang Luoyong was admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy with excellent grades and began his professional acting studies.
During his years at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, Wang Luoyong was like a hungry calf, trying to absorb the essence of drama. He knows that this is an important step to realize his dreams. Every class, every rehearsal, is a solid step towards his dream.
This experience laid a solid foundation for him to become an outstanding actor in the future.
A seemingly daily errand changed the trajectory of Wang Luoyong's life. On that day, the regiment arranged for him to go to the production team in Dashan to get a document. He went through hard work, trekked through mountains and rivers, and finally got the "top-secret document".
But when he opened it, he found that it was only his colleague Ding Ning's household registration book.
However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people. Since the art troupe strictly forbade colleagues to fall in love with each other, they could only start an underground romance. Despite this, this relationship became more and more hot, quietly growing in secret.
In 1981, Wang Luoyong was fortunate to be admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy, and Ding Ning was also admitted to the Wuhan Conservatory of Music. Although the two places are thousands of miles apart, their love spark is still blazing. They began a long epistolary relationship, crossing thousands of mountains and rivers, using letters to express their thoughts and love for each other.
It was an era when there was no Internet, and the letters carried their love and thoughts, and wrote each other's hearts.
In the letter, Wang Luoyong paid meticulous attention to Ding Ning's study and life, and the sincere emotions he revealed deeply moved the originally shy Ding Ning. As time passed, the hearts of the two grew closer, even though they were thousands of miles apart.
After graduation, Wang Luoyong stayed at the Shanghai Theater Academy to teach with excellent grades, and Ding Ning returned to Shiyan as a university music professor, and the two began a long-distance relationship. Although the challenge brought by distance struck again, their relationship was firmer, and Wang Luoyong even had the idea of giving up Shanghai's "iron rice bowl" just to be with Ding Ning.
However, the sane Ding Ning thinks it's a pity to give up this hard-won job. She encouraged Wang Luoyong to continue to pursue his career, but also firmly stated that she would always wait for him.
This relationship, which transcends the barriers of time and space, has laid a solid foundation for their future lives.
In 1986, with his love for art and his vision for a better future, Wang Luoyong resolutely decided to go to the United States for further study. This decision was a double-edged sword, opening the door to new opportunities for him and presenting him with unprecedented challenges.
When he first arrived in United States, Wang Luoyong erected a high wall between him and his dream because of the language barrier. His English skills were not good enough to support his studies, and he was soon expelled from school. From a professor at the Shanghai Theater Academy to a dropout in a foreign country, this huge gap hit Wang Luoyong hard.
He felt frustrated like never before, as if all his efforts had been in vain.
However, at this most difficult moment, Ding Ning's support was like a ray of sunshine, illuminating Wang Luoyong's way forward. She not only encouraged Wang Luoyong to continue chasing her dreams, but also made a touching decision: to put aside her job in China and fly to United States without hesitation to fight side by side with her lover.
The moment they met at the airport, the two burst into tears, as if they had regained their life.
In order to overcome the language barrier, Wang Luoyong and Ding Ning embarked on a difficult journey of learning English. They use biting on items such as bottle stoppers, keys, etc., to imitate pronunciation, and practice speaking at every opportunity to talk to foreigners.
Although this approach may seem a bit clumsy, it opens up a whole new world for them.
Wang Luoyong recalled the hardships he had when he was a child studying Peking Opera, and the spirit of hard work was once again reflected in him.
With Ding Ning's help and encouragement, Wang Luoyong regained his strength, and he began to re-examine his goals and work hard for them. After unremitting efforts, Wang Luoyong's English skills gradually improved, and he successfully entered Boston University United States to study drama.
This experience not only enhanced his professional level, but also gave him a deeper understanding of Western theater.
For Wang Luoyong, this period in the United States is both a challenge and an opportunity. During this time, he not only learned advanced performance techniques, but also deeply felt the collision and integration between different cultures.
These valuable experiences have provided him with a steady stream of inspiration and material for shaping profound and rich characters on stage.
When looking back on this time, Wang Luoyong often sighed that it was Ding Ning's support that gave him the courage to continue to move forward, so that their love was not only not defeated in the difficult years of a foreign country, but became more and more tenacious.
This experience provided valuable material for Wang Luoyong to later shape his image on the stage, and also made him cherish the support and companionship of the people around him even more.
The summer of 1995 was an important milestone in Wang Luoyong's acting career. After nearly a decade of unremitting efforts, he played the leading role in "Miss Saigon" and finally stood on the coveted Broadway stage.
This moment is the perfect embodiment of his hard work and hard work over the years, and it is also an important breakthrough for him as a Chinese actor on the international stage.
When the spotlight shone on the actor from China, the entire foreign audience was shocked. With his superb acting skills and unique oriental charm, Wang Luoyong successfully conquered the discerning Broadway audience.
His performance not only showed his own strength, but also showed the talent and potential of Chinese actors to the world.
The success of "Miss Saigon" brought Wang Luoyong a six-year contract, which took his career to a new peak. This contract not only indicates a stable income, but also an affirmation of his acting skills.
On the stage of Broadway, Wang Luoyong's every appearance is a challenge to himself, and it is also a surprise presentation to the audience again and again.
The success of their careers made Wang Luoyong and Ding Ning's married life full of happiness. During this time, they welcomed two lovely children, which brought endless joy to the family. The double harvest of career and family filled Wang Luoyong with an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and happiness.
However, as Ding Ning predicted, there are also challenges lurking behind the aura. At the end of the six-year contract period, the performance of "Miss Saigon" came to an end, and Wang Luoyong fell into a low point in his career for a while.
Faced with the sudden unemployment, he couldn't help but feel confused and anxious.
This setback did not discourage Wang Luo. On the contrary, it made him cherish his hard-won success even more, and it also made him deeply reflect on the direction of his future development.
This experience not only fully proves Wang Luoyong's strength as an outstanding actor, but also shows his courage to challenge and never say die.
Looking back on this experience on Broadway, Wang Luoyong deeply feels that it is one of the most precious treasures in his life. It not only allowed him to highlight the demeanor of a Chinese actor on the international stage, but also gave him a deeper understanding of the performing arts.
And behind all this, it is inseparable from Ding Ning's silent support and encouragement, and it is her understanding and dedication that enables Wang Luoyong to devote himself to his acting career.
After living in United States for more than ten years, Wang Luoyong and Ding Ning made an important decision: to return to China for development. The starting point of this decision is their longing for the motherland and their firm confidence in China's rapid development.
Ding Ning found that the motherland was changing with each passing day, so he proposed to Wang Luoyong: "Let's go back to China, the motherland is developing really well now!" "After in-depth observation and understanding of China's current situation and future trends, they believe that China has huge development potential and opportunities.
After returning to China, Wang Luoyong returned to his alma mater, Shanghai Theater Academy, and this time his identity changed, he was no longer a student, but returned here as a teacher. He brings back to the classroom the experience and skills he gained while studying in the United States to contribute to the development of a new generation of actors.
Wang Luoyong feels a great responsibility, and he hopes to pass on what he has learned and felt at home and abroad to young people, and contribute to the development of China's theater industry.
At the same time, Wang Luoyong did not give up his acting career, but continued to play various roles in Chinese film and television dramas, and won the love of the audience with his superb acting skills. Especially when he played the role of Zhuge Liang when he was 60 years old, he became popular again.
This role shows Wang Luoyong's profound acting skills and deep understanding and grasp of the role.
In 2022, Wang Luoyong will play Gu Qianfan's father Xiao Qinyan in the hit drama "Menghualu", which once again aroused heated discussions among the audience. It is interesting to note that this character has formed an interesting association with Guo Jing he played in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" 16 years ago, which surprised many audiences.
In "The Condor Heroes", Guo Jing, played by him, prevented Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo's teacher-student love many times, and in "Menghualu", Xiao Qinyan played by him tried to prevent his son Gu Qianfan from being with Zhao Paner, and the coincidence of this role made the audience marvel at Wang Luoyong's continuous efforts in "blocking Liu Yifei's love", which has been consistent for 16 years.
In "Menghualu", Xiao Qinyan, played by Wang Luoyong, seems to be a "villain" who tries to stop his son's love. But in reality, this character has a complex inner world, both the toughness of a father and the deep love for his son.
Wang Luoyong's solid acting skills once again showed the audience the charm of a mature actor.
Looking back on Wang Luoyong's performance journey, his career in the performing arts at home and abroad, and his journey back to China from abroad, every step reflects his love and dedication to the performing arts.
In this journey, Ding Ning has always been Wang Luoyong's most solid backing.
Behind Wang Luoyong's wonderful acting career, there has always been a woman who silently supports him, that is, his wife Ding Ning. From their acquaintance, love, and then facing the ups and downs of life together, Ding Ning has always been Wang Luoyong's most solid support.
When Wang Luoyong decided to go to the United States for further study, Ding Ning gave him the greatest support. When Wang Luoyong encountered difficulties in a foreign country, Ding Ning resolutely put down his music teaching work at Shiyan University and flew across the ocean to reunite with him.
In the difficult days of the United States, the two worked hand in hand to overcome language barriers and life difficulties together.
Ding Ning supported Wang Luoyong's life and provided him with valuable advice in his career. When Wang Luoyong succeeded on Broadway, it was Ding Ning who reminded him to think about long-term development.
Her calmness and wisdom pointed out the direction for Wang Luoyong's career developmentWhen the two decided to return to China, it was Ding Ning who took the lead in making this suggestion, she keenly observed the rapid development of the motherland and believed that this was a new opportunity for them.
After returning to China, Ding Ning chose to silently support Wang Luoyong's career behind the scenes. Ding Ning's understanding and support enabled Wang Luoyong to devote himself wholeheartedly to his acting career, and even at the age of sixty, he was still able to create a classic role like Zhuge Liang.
Wang Luoyong once said frankly that every success he has is inseparable from the full support of his wife Ding Ning. This relationship is not only a strong backing for his career, but also the greatest wealth in his life.
Although Ding Ning does not appear in public often, Wang Luoyong has always regarded him as the most important behind-the-scenes hero.
From the hearty smile when the art troupe first met, to the persistent waiting during the long-distance relationship, to the struggle side by side in the difficult years of United States, Ding Ning and Wang Luoyong jointly wrote a love story that transcends time and space.
Ding Ning is not only Wang Luoyong's wife, but also his most reliable partner and strongest backing in his life journey.
