Guo Kaimin's grandmother gave him selfless care during his childhood. His parents, who were employees of the geological team, had to travel all year round and had no time to take care of young Kamin. Therefore, his grandmother, who loves opera, became his close partner and enlightenment teacher.
In those days when there was no television, the radio became the main source of entertainment at home. Grandma was always engrossed in listening to the opera radio, while little Kaimin imitated it on the sidelines.
From time to time, he would imitate a few singing lyrics, which made his grandmother laugh, and it was precisely like this that Guo Kaimin inadvertently cultivated his acting talent.
As he grew older, Guo Kaimin grew from a short boy with confused eyes to a tall boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Not only is he very good in appearance, but more importantly, years of "practice" have allowed him to show extraordinary talent in acting.
Whenever it was time for him to speak, he was always able to do without stage fright, and the confident light conveyed by his eyes was impressive.
Every time there is a cultural activity or performance in the school, Guo Kaimin is always recommended by teachers and classmates to show on stage. His infectious performances always won warm applause, and it wasn't long before he became a "dark horse" in the school.
The accumulation of these stage experiences laid the groundwork for his future acting career. Although he may not have realized it at the time, the gears of fate have quietly turned. The little boy who imitated opera in front of his grandmother is stepping towards a bigger stage, ready for a major turning point in his life.
In 1978, 18-year-old Guo Kaimin's life took a major turn. On that day, the crew of the movie "The Second Spring" came to their school for filming, and the director happened to see Guo Kaimin, and decided to temporarily add the role of a little soldier in this scene.
The noisy environment made the students even more excited and discussed. At this moment, Guo Kaimin was pushed to the center of the stage by his friends. His confident voice pierced the crowd: "Uncle Director! Do you think I can do it? "It was at this moment that the gears of fate began to turn.
The director was attracted to this tall and handsome boy and readily agreed. What is surprising is that Guo Kaimin's appearance is outstanding, and he has shown a unique talent in performance. In just a few shots, Guo Kaimin showed his acting talent far beyond his peers.
After the filming, the director, who was deeply moved by Guo Kaimin's performance, recommended Guo Kaimin to go to the Shanghai studio. After the movie "Second Spring" was released, although he did not have many scenes, his role as a little soldier was well received by the audience.
After careful consideration, Shanghai Studio made an exceptional decision - to admit Guo Kaimin, who had not graduated from high school at the time, which also made him a full-fledged drama actor and began his acting career.
In the first two years of entering the industry, Guo Kaimin studied with almost crazy enthusiasm. He doesn't pick roles, and will go all out as long as there is an opportunity to perform. Every performance is a sharpening of his acting skills and a valuable process of accumulating experience for him.
Although he has not yet met a role that can make him an instant hit, Guo Kaimin is not discouraged in his heart, and he has always burned with a love for acting, firmly believing that he will one day wait for the opportunity that can make him famous in one fell swoop.
It was his love and dedication to his career that laid the foundation for his future success. Little did Guo Kaimin know that the opportunity he had always dreamed of would soon come along and that would completely change the course of his life.
In 1978, Guo Kaimin was able to seize a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He received an invitation to star in "Lushan Love", and therefore starred in this love movie with Zhang Yu. This role had a profound impact on his acting career and became a turning point in his career.
The hit broadcast of "Lushan Love" caused a sensation, and the avant-garde ideas and bold kiss scenes amazed the audience, which was undoubtedly a breakthrough attempt in the Chinese film industry at that time.
Guo Kaimin and Zhang Yu won the hottest "screen CP" with their superb acting skills and tacit understanding on the screen, and their names spread all over the country and became people's after-dinner conversations.
Guo Kaimin finally experienced the taste of popularity, and his acting career ushered in a huge breakthrough, from a little-known actor to a well-known star.
However, before the joy of fame has settled, troubles follow one after another.
Many viewers mistook the feelings in the film for reality, and were convinced that Guo Kaimin and Zhang Yu were a pair of real lovers. This misunderstanding has put a lot of pressure on Guo Kaimin's private life, and whenever he appears in public, it will attract countless speculations and discussions about his relationship with Zhang Yu.
What's worse is that the relationship between Guo Kaimin and his girlfriend Zhang Zhihua has also begun to be affected by this love boom. Although Zhang Zhihua is also an actor, his reputation is far less than Guo Kaimin.
She began to feel inferior, and even couldn't help but say self-pity words like "Guo Kaimin's girlfriend is really inferior to Zhang Yu" at some point.
In order to cope with this situation, Zhang Zhihua and Guo Kaimin began to consciously go out for walks and shopping, trying to declare their status as "real girlfriends" to the public. However, this approach was not understood and supported, and instead attracted ridicule from some fans.
In their eyes, Zhang Zhihua is not worthy of Guo Kaimin at all, let alone Zhang Yu.
Guo Kaimin is in a dilemma. On the one hand, he was happy with his breakthrough in his career, but on the other hand, he was troubled by the haze that this success brought to his love life.
The love story of Guo Kaimin and Zhang Zhihua originated from a chance acquaintance at the Shanghai Film Studio. During the filming of the movie "Good Things Are Grinding", the fledgling Guo Kaimin met the well-known Zhang Zhihua.
Although they didn't have too many roles in the movie and only worked together for a few days, it was this short contact that made Zhang Zhihua think about it and keep missing Guo Kaimin In the end, she chose to take the initiative and successfully touched Guo Kaimin's heart with her feminine tenderness and thoughtfulness.
Initially, Zhang Zhihua had more advantages than Guo Kaimin in the field of business. She is happy to share her experience, and does not hesitate to guide Guo Kaimin in private, explaining the nuances and techniques of acting.
In helping each other, both of them have achieved significant improvement in their acting skills, and Guo Kaimin's future is firmly believed by Zhang Zhihua, and he will become a dazzling new star in the film industry.
In 1985, Guo Kaimin and Zhang Zhihua entered the palace of marriage. They held a low-key wedding, and then began a daily but very happy married life. However, this tranquility did not last long.
Guo Kaimin had the opportunity to go to Beiying for further study, but Zhang Zhihua gave up her employment opportunities in order to support her husband. However, this decision turned out to be a turning point in their marriage. The two were forced to live separately, and Zhang Zhihua happened to be pregnant at this time.
During pregnancy, Zhang Zhihua has been facing various difficulties alone, including every prenatal check-up and medical visit. Although Guo Kaimin has repeatedly said that she wants to take leave to come back to take care of her, in order not to affect her husband's studies, Zhang Zhihua chose to bear the hardships of pregnancy alone.
She gritted her teeth and persevered, silently bearing everything.
On the day of delivery, there was no husband in the hospital, and Zhang Zhihua was still alone. At that moment, she wavered about this marriage for the first time, but she still tried to comfort herself that when her husband graduated, everything would be fine.
However, Guo Kaimin did not bring good news back home, on the contrary, he made the decision to go to other places for development. For Guo Kaimin, this is an opportunity for self-breakthrough and the only way for him to pursue career development.
However, in Zhang Zhihua's eyes, she thought that her husband had abandoned the whole family, and she not only did not take into account her feelings, but also did not take into account the newborn child.
Guo Kaimin and Zhang Zhihua's views and opinions gradually drifted apart, neither could convince the other, and the differences in their daily lives continued to accumulate, and in the end, this contradiction led to the rupture of their relationship.
Guo Kaimin is eager to take his career to the next level, and Zhang Zhihua sees that he can spend more time with his family.
After a painful struggle, the two finally chose to divorce and ended this once sweet marriage. Guo believes that this is the price he must pay to pursue his dreams, even though it was a difficult decision for him.
However, this is undoubtedly a huge blow for Zhang Zhihua, and she needs time to heal the wounds in her heart.
In this way, Guo Kaimin's relationship with Zhang Zhihua came to an end. This experience made Guo Kaimin deeply realize the importance of balancing career and family, and had a profound impact on his future love life.
After the divorce, Guo Kaimin devoted himself to chasing his dream of directing. He is full of enthusiasm and looks forward to achieving something on the road of directing. But the facts made him deeply frustrated, and the drama he filmed was not successfully released, and his dream of directing was dealt a major blow.
Guo Kaimin's fate seems to be playing tricks on him, but he became a host by mistake. This sudden change made it difficult for him to adjust for a while, and he began to question his choices and think about the direction of the future.
During this period, Guo Kaimin seems to have returned to the confused state when he first entered the film and television industry.
When Guo Kaimin suffered a setback in his career, fate once again came to his aid. During the filming of "Taiwan Aberdeen", Guo Kaimin and Liu Xiaochun met. After a few hurried contacts, the two gradually developed subtle feelings for each other.
Through constant communication, they know each other from work and life, and they will confide in each other whenever they face confusion.
Liu Xiaochun has paid great help to Guo Kaimin's career, and in order to take care of his daily life, she even gave up her stable job in the theater and trekked to Hainan. This deep affection deeply touched Guo Kaimin, made him regain his strength, and regained the courage to move forward.
The appearance of Liu Xiaochun not only brought a turn for the better in Guo Kaimin's love life, but also reinvigorated him in his career. Her understanding and support for him became a strong backing for him to regroup.
In 1991, Guo Kaimin and Liu Xiaochun tied the knot, they did not have a grand wedding, lived in a simple rental house, but they were full of joy. They made a vow to manage the relationship together and bravely face life's challenges.
As time passed, Guo Kaimin's career gradually improved. He regained his foothold in the film and television industry and is often featured in various works. Guo Kaimin, who is now 62 years old, still maintains his love for acting and is active in the film and television industry.
At the same time, Guo Kaimin and Liu Xiaochun's quality of life has also been improved, and their relationship has become stronger and stronger, and they have created a loving family together.
It is worth mentioning that Guo Kaimin's ex-wife Zhang Zhihua also walked out of a failed marriage and began to actively devote herself to her career. In the end, she married the painter Zha Guojun and found her own happiness.
This made Guo Kaimin deeply gratified, and also drew an end to his past regrets.
Looking back, Guo Kaimin's life has gone from peak to trough, paying a heavy price, but finally finding a balance. Today, he has a stable career and a happy family, and can be said to be a winner in life.
This experience made Guo Kaimin understand that whether it is a career or a relationship, you need to manage it carefully. True happiness can only be achieved by finding a balance between career and relationship. This realization has become the most valuable treasure in his life.
