"For me, 40 is the countdown to life."

This is a sentence that the famous actor Hu Ge said in a recent interview with "ELLE" magazine. It's amazing.

You must know that Hu Ge, born in 1982, is only 43 years old, well-maintained, and has just appeared on the cover of the magazine "ELLE World Fashion Garden" for the fifth time, Hu Ge is wearing the Armani 2025 spring and summer collection, wearing a Harry Winston watch, mature and full of charm.

In everyone's hearts, he is the smiling Li Xiaoyao in "Fairy Sword One", the deep and introverted Mei Changsu in "Langya Bang", and the brave, strategic, affectionate and righteous "Bao Zong" in "Among the Flowers".

In real life, he has also grown from a kind and pure boy to a restrained and responsible man.

In fact, this is not the first time Hu Ge has talked about the topic of death, as early as in the exclusive dialogue of Hu Ge's Q&A White Paper in 2023, he said:

"I can face death calmly, but when a new life comes, I am afraid to leave."

This is the life perception after Hu Geguan announced that he would marry a wife and have a daughter.

If you know Hu Ge's life experience, you may be able to understand what he said.

01

In 2004, Hu Ge, who had just graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy, played the role of Li Xiaoyao in "Fairy Sword One", and in 2005, "Fairy Sword One" hit a very high rating as soon as it was broadcast. Hu Ge became a popular student and became popular all over the country.

Just when the public thought that Hu Ge's star career was going well, the news of Hu Ge's car accident suddenly came.

At that time, Hu Ge was filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in Hengdian, and after finishing work late at night, he went back to Shanghai with the driver and assistant, but unfortunately had a car accident, which became an eternal gray memory in his life.

In that car accident, Hu Ge escaped death, his face was disfigured, he underwent two general anesthesia surgeries in four days, and more than 100 stitches were stitched all over his body, and his assistant lost his young life.

In the days of recuperation, Hu Ge often locked himself in the house, he suffered a double blow of body and mind, and once felt deep self-blame for the death of his assistant.

At the beginning, looking at his pitted face in the mirror, Hu Ge wanted to give up his acting career, but fortunately, later, after repeated psychological struggles, he persuaded himself to live well. The assistant's death seemed to protect him and allow him to continue to accomplish more meaningful things in life.

After a year of treatment and hiatus, Hu Ge made a comeback in 2007, at first he always wore black-framed glasses and was extremely unconfident in his face, because for Hu Ge, who took the idol route, many people liked him at first because of his appearance. Now that he doesn't have these, will the audience still like him?

Hu Ge did not disappoint us, after several years of precipitation, he completed the successful transformation from an idol to a powerful faction.

has starred in many popular dramas "The Pretender", "Langya Bang", "Hunting Ground", etc., and in 2023, "Flowers" directed by Wong Kar-wai will let the audience see a precipitated and more multifaceted Hu Ge.

Hu Ge's love road has not been smooth, Xue Jianing and Jiang Shuying have become passers-by.

may have something to do with his personality, he always shows the positive side to outsiders, and keeps the negative side to himself, which will inevitably lead to emotional out-of-control. Occasionally, I will vent my emotions on Weibo.

He said that reason is the biggest obstacle in his performance, and he always has a habit of stepping out to look at himself, repeatedly asking himself why, and sometimes being overly entangled.

So we often see him making some unexpected and strange remarks on Weibo, suspecting that he was in the wrong state after drinking.

Hu Ge's mother has been battling breast cancer for 29 years, and unfortunately passed away in 2019.

After his mother's death, he slowly let go of his feelings after a long time and felt that he could face death.

In 2023, Hu Ge suddenly officially announced that he would marry a wife and have a daughter, Hu Ge went around and around, but finally married an ordinary person, the outside world has been talking about this, perhaps after experiencing the ups and downs of life, after the death of his mother, Hu Ge also has the idea of having a home.

He wants this kind of plain and long-lasting relationship even more.

Hu Ge's wife is his agent Huang Xining, who is 11 years younger than Hu Ge, and has been by Hu Ge's side for 8 years, handling all kinds of things for him.

There are not a few celebrities in the entertainment industry who marry their manager's assistant, Da Zhang Wei, Gu Juji, Liming, Xiao Jingteng, and Li Ai.

Stars in the entertainment industry are filming and running around for a long time, and in a complex environment full of interests, many people do not have the opportunity to meet true friends, so it is easy to have feelings after getting along with their assistants for a long time.

In any case, fans finally accepted Hu Ge's wife, after all, he is not young anymore, and it is time to enter the next stage of life. With a happy family, he can work in the entertainment industry with more peace of mind and shoot more and better quality works.

"It's like I'm holding a piece of tofu, and I don't dare to move it at all, for fear that it will be broken in a flash."

Hu Ge told the scene of holding his daughter for the first time, revealing everywhere the appearance of a woman who is full of everything. He often looked at his sleeping daughter and couldn't help crying, lamenting that his life had a concern, he didn't care about anything before, but now he has more responsibilities.

Hu Ge's classmate and friend Yuan Hong once commented on him, Hu Ge is very kind and considerate of the people around him, and has affinity, but he loves to think crankily and is a little melancholy.

Yuan Hong recalled that after Hu Ge became famous, he filmed and lived in a hotel, never thinking about convenience, convenience and proximity, not considering the star environment, never treating himself as a wrist, his requirements for life were very simple.

Yuan Hong said that after Hu Ge had a daughter, he could feel his happiness from the inside out, and even the little melancholy in his bones was gone.

Yuan Hong was very happy for his brother's change.

It didn't matter what happened before, but now that he has a daughter, Hu Ge also specially asked his middle school classmates who practiced boxing to learn boxing, the purpose was to make himself stronger and better protect his daughter.

Hu Ge sometimes lamented that he was too late to get married and have children, and wanted to live a few more years to accompany his daughter, when his daughter Xiao Jasmine gradually grew up, it meant that he was also gradually aging.

Chen Xiaochun also had this concern on the show, and he was afraid that he would not see his son get married in the interview. Countless people burst into tears.

In today's era of late marriage and late childbearing, let alone the entertainment industry.

There are more and more elderly parents, so it is even more important to take good care of your body and spend as much time as possible with your children. We are happy that Hu Ge has found a new purpose in life, and hope that he will bring us more excellent works while enjoying the sweet family life.
