Description: In October 2118, Yaping Zhou broke the news in his blog that "Prison Song" was not sung by Zhiqiang Chi, but he planned to use Zhiqiang Chi's leather as a hype. In the early 1981s, Zhiqiang Chi was a household name. He once starred in films such as The Little Player, Xizhao Street and Moon to Mid-Autumn Festival, and was the winner of the second National Excellent Young Actor Award, just like Chen Chong, Liu Xiaoqing, Tang Guoqiang and Pan Hong at that time. However, just as his career was in full swing, in 1983, Zhiqiang Chi was suddenly arrested and imprisoned in Nanjing, and was later arrested and imprisoned for 4 years by the Nanjing procuratorate for "hooliganism". The national public opinion was in an uproar.

Zhiqiang Chi was released from prison early in 1985 because of his good behavior. Two years later, according to his life behind bars, he wrote and sang songs such as "Tears from behind bars" and "Sorrow and Sorrow", which were popular all over the country, and were called "the king of prison songs". But later, with the social criticism of the popularity of "prison songs", Zhiqiang Chi disappeared from people's vision again ... < P > As a public figure, Zhiqiang Chi's experience can be described as ups and downs. Why on earth did he go to prison? From the highest point of life to the lowest point, what kind of spiritual purgatory did he experience? Now, can he make a comeback? Recently, Zhiqiang Chi disclosed in detail for the first time to our special correspondent how he got out of the shadow of "hooligans" in the past 21 years ...

Exclusive report: Inside story of popular actor's slip

In p>1958, Zhiqiang Chi was born in a citizen's family in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province. Chijia is a ***4 brother, and he is the second child. When he graduated from junior high school, changchun film studio recruited actors, with 16 indicators nationwide. Being good at singing and dancing, he was recommended by his teacher to sign up, and after screening at different levels, he became a student of changchun film studio training class.

In p>1974, at the age of 16, Zhiqiang Chi took part in the filming of his first film "Entrepreneurship", which received excellent response, and then quickly became popular because of starring in films such as "Junior Generation" and "Sunset Street". In 1979, at the age of 21, together with Liu Xiaoqing, Tang Guoqiang, Chen Chong and Pan Hong, he was awarded the second "National Excellent Young Actor" and was received by the central leaders. Young Zhiqiang Chi is proud of his success in his career.

In p>1982, when Zhiqiang Chi went to Nanjing to film the Mid-Autumn Festival, "eight or nine boys and girls often played together, listened to Teresa Teng's Sweet Honey, danced face-to-face and watched small movies inside" (in Zhiqiang Chi). At that time, they didn't care whether this "ahead" behavior affected the rest of their neighbors, let alone whether it aroused their disgust. Zhiqiang Chi even had sex with a girl rashly. As a result, when the "strike hard" campaign that swept across the country began in 1983, Zhiqiang Chi, who was filming "Gold for Nothing" on location in Wanxian County, Hebei Province, was suddenly arrested by the Nanjing Public Security Bureau. It turned out that Zhiqiang Chi's behavior of several young people in Nanjing was denounced by neighbors as "dancing naked" and "collectively engaging in improper sexual relations"! After the matter was disclosed by the media, the whole country was in an uproar for a time. The Jiangsu Provincial Judicial Committee quickly made a decision: in the case of Zhiqiang Chi, all the people involved were punished as "hooliganism"; Zhiqiang Chi's behavior has constituted hooliganism, and he was imprisoned for 4 years!

Without any transition, Zhiqiang Chi fell from the peak of "National Excellent Young Actor" to the bottom of his life. In prison, Zhiqiang Chi couldn't drink water, eat or sleep. Sometimes when his mind is a little clear, his heart is full of regret, despair and panic. He kept asking himself: Why did he feel dizzy at that time? How can you have no self-control? After the expiration of four years' imprisonment, I can't be an actor any more. What should I do with my next life ... < P > After spending some time in prison, he was transferred to a reform-through-labour camp. At this time, someone can visit, but he doesn't see anyone; After his girlfriend broke up with him, he even had the idea of suicide. As soon as the reform-through-labour comrades saw that the situation was wrong, they sent him directly to Huashan Coal Mine in Jiangsu Province, hoping that a lot of physical labor could occupy the gap in his thinking and prevent him from thinking. Who knows, Jiangsu Huashan Coal Mine has become a well-known unit in China because of the arrival of Zhiqiang Chi. When he first went to the dock to unload coal, I don't know who let the news out, which actually attracted thousands of people to watch. Zhiqiang Chi bowed his head and, like all prisoners, walked barefoot to the cabin. The crowd of onlookers immediately became agitated: "Look, look, that's Zhiqiang Chi! That rapist! " In August, the weather in Nanjing was very hot, and Zhiqiang Chi was working silently on the boat. Some onlookers on the shore spit on him, and some threw stones at him ... Zhiqiang Chi didn't speak, and sweat and tears flowed down together. Two long tears of regret appeared on his face completely smeared by coal unloading ...

After that, Zhiqiang Chi always made the most effort and did the most tiring work. He hoped to relieve his inner guilt with labor. Because of his good performance, one year later, he was promoted to the group leader. While serving his sentence, apart from taking part in labor, his only pleasure is to keep a diary, and then hum songs: "Sorrow ... tears of regret ..." The songs are full of remorse for his past absurd behavior ...

Later, in order to enrich prison life, Huashan Prison decided to give full play to the prisoners' specialties and set up a literary propaganda team. After entering the propaganda team, Zhiqiang Chi performed well and won the first prize three times. In May 1985, Zhiqiang Chi was released from prison in advance.

Several ups and downs: The Prince of Prison Songs quickly became popular and then disappeared

Where did he go after he got out of prison? At that time, which unit dared to accept a reform-through-labour prisoner To Zhiqiang Chi's surprise and gratitude, because the prison spoke highly of him, changchun film studio accepted him again-but he couldn't restore the past establishment, so he couldn't make a film and had to do odd jobs.

Before the shaved hair grew, Zhiqiang Chi returned to changchun film studio with a broken bag on his back. The object of his service is all the workers in the factory, and his work content is all chores, including maintaining the house, pulling mud, transporting coal and even serving tea and water for employees, and the workers who work together are handymen who have served him before and he has never really seen them. Here, Zhiqiang Chi began the second baptism of his life.

At first, Zhiqiang Chi always found it hard to really accept the huge gap when he was brilliant in the same place and then fell down. Once, a worker's sewer was blocked. He went to dredge it with a temporary worker named Wang. Seeing that his partner was too slow, he habitually urged: "Hurry up!" Unexpectedly, the temporary worker surnamed Wang was also a straight shooter. As soon as his eyes turned, he threw a wrench and said, "Do you think you are still a movie actor in those days? Be quick, you do it alone ... "Zhiqiang Chi had to do it alone.

even more embarrassing things come from old friends. Song Xiaoying, Guo Kaimin and Peisi Chen, old friends, are afraid of his sadness, so they always make a detour when they meet him. But the whole Changying Factory is so big that we always meet. Once, he met Song Xiaoying at the gate, and Song Xiaoying took his hand and cried, "Hadron ..." He was so flattered that he couldn't help crying. Since then, in order to avoid this kind of embarrassment, Zhiqiang Chi wore sunglasses to avoid looking at his old friends.

Zhiqiang Chi's pious attitude of correcting mistakes has gradually won everyone's respect. At the end of 1986, the famous screenwriter Zhang Xiaotian wrote the screenplay "Tiangu" and found Zhiqiang Chi to play the leading role. Zhiqiang Chi was ecstatic, especially cherishing the filming opportunity that he never dreamed of after his release from prison: the crew traveled more than 111,111 kilometers, filming from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau all the way to Wusongkou, Shanghai, and he didn't complain. When he was on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, due to severe altitude sickness, he couldn't eat for six days and six nights, but he still insisted on working ... His desire was not high. He just hoped that through this film, the people of the whole country would see that he had turned over a new leaf and was no longer the confused "hooligan" of that year. Unfortunately, this work was not released because of the economic problems of the crew. But Zhiqiang Chi felt inferior and blamed himself: "Is it because of me?"

But this experience revived his love for movies. After doing odd jobs, he often goes to the movies quietly alone. During that time, in the corner of the movie theater, people often saw him wearing sunglasses. He was both an audience and a waiter. After watching the movie, he had to clean up according to the instructions of the General Affairs Section.

Just then, a girl named Chi Daiying came into his life. Koike, an accountant in Hangzhou, was once on a business trip to Changchun. Her friend invited her to a movie. She recognized the lonely Zhiqiang Chi hidden behind sunglasses in the cinema. After returning to Hangzhou, Chi Daiying wrote to encourage Zhiqiang Chi: "I hope you can return to the screen as soon as possible." Soon after receiving Zhiqiang Chi's reply, Chi Daiying went to Changchun to visit Zhiqiang Chi. In this way, the two established a love relationship. Chi Daiying's love and encouragement made Zhiqiang Chi, who felt inferior, finally get a kind of happiness that he had never experienced before. Sometimes, when he works hard, he hums the songs he wrote in prison.

As luck would have it, one day, Zhao Ziming, editor-in-chief of Movie World, walked by Zhiqiang Chi and heard the tune of Tears at the Prison. Zhao Ziming said with great interest, "Let's record songs for you and make a tape!" Zhiqiang Chi was deeply surprised. He felt that the lyrics were basically an expression of his true feelings, a confession to his parents and the past days. Just when he couldn't make up his mind, his girlfriend Chi Daiying wrote in time to encourage him, hoping that he could take this opportunity to get out of the shadow of that year and stand up again.

In August, 1988, Tears at the Iron Window was put into the market after finishing and recording. Unexpectedly, the response was unprecedented. Some people are on blind dates, some people are opening stores, and some people don't think "it's not right" on their birthdays, singing "I'm so sad that I'm white-headed". This kind of scene, even Zhiqiang Chi himself felt incredible: "I was going to shoot birds and finally got a tiger back!"

But before Zhiqiang Chi's spine was completely straight, overwhelming criticism fell from the sky. Many people think that Zhiqiang Chi hasn't walked out of the shadow of "prison", and he brought a deformed, abnormal and even unhealthy mood to the society; Others think that Zhiqiang Chi is completely showing off his sufferings to win the sympathy of the audience ... Tears at Iron Window has gone from great heat to great Zhiqiang Chi in less than a year. He just wanted to warn all the young people with his own confession, to understand the law and abide by it, and not to regret it for a long time. Who knew it would turn into this? He asked himself: Do you still live in the shadow of the past?

After some thinking, Zhiqiang Chi made the decision to leave the stage again. He feels that if he really wants to start all over again and forget the shadow of the past, he must go into a wider world. In this way, he disappeared from people's sight again. This time, it disappeared for more than 11 years.

honed in p>11, waiting to clean up the old mountains and rivers from scratch

Zhiqiang Chi quietly left Changchun and went to Hangzhou, where he married Chi Daiying. He wondered: What career can make him forget the past and face the future again as soon as possible?

At that time, it happened that going to the sea became a common practice, so a few friends invited Zhiqiang Chi to join us and "play in the sea". Later, six people invested together and opened a hotel in Harbin, Zhiqiang Chi's hometown, named "Jinshida Hotel". The layout and decoration of the hotel are first-class, including catering, accommodation, bathing and entertainment.

When the hotel opened, although it was not advertised, when Harbin people learned that Zhiqiang Chi had participated in the operation of Jinshida Hotel, they all came to the hotel for dinner. As a result, Zhiqiang Chi became a pure hotel "receptionist". At that time, whenever someone came, he must be called Zhiqiang Chi. Ask more guests to accompany him to sing; If you ask for less guests, please ask him to sign a photo; The most is to ask him to accompany the wine ... No matter which table, anyone who comes to dinner must shout Zhiqiang Chi to toast in the middle. On one occasion, two tables of guests called Zhiqiang Chi at the same time. He went to the table near himself first, but unexpectedly angered the guests at the other table. The other party shouted curses at first, but before Zhiqiang Chi came, they knocked on the table. By the time Zhiqiang Chi arrived, they were very impatient. One of the guests angrily threw the leftover soup in Zhiqiang Chi's face and scolded, "Isn't it just a bad singer?"? Too ignorant! " In the face of this humiliation, Zhiqiang Chi can't get angry. There are tourists from all over the world. If customers are unhappy, isn't it a blow to the hotel business?

After half a year, Zhiqiang Chi was often drunk by customers until his stomach bled. Chi Daiying said distressfully, "You haven't made much money, and then you will' explain'."

helpless, the couple had to withdraw their capital and have been living in Hangzhou ever since. His wife, Chi Daiying, works as an accountant in a joint venture. Zhiqiang Chi, who has no job for the time being, goes to the cinema to watch how other actors perform whenever he has time. If he has any performance experience, he will show it to his wife at home, making solid preparations for his comeback in the acting career.

With the birth of her son, Zhiqiang Chi felt that it was time for him to take on the dual responsibilities of father and husband, and really began to find his own foothold. Soon, he took a fancy to Qinhuangdao, a tourist resort in Hebei Province. After consulting with his wife, he and his friends partnered to open a small hotel in Qinhuangdao, named "Mingmen Hotel". This time, Zhiqiang Chi didn't use his fame to do any publicity. The hotel finance was managed by his wife Chi Daiying, and the operation was entirely in the charge of his friends. He only occasionally put forward some constructive suggestions for the development of the hotel. More often, he completely laid hands on his wife and friends like an ordinary employee; Sometimes the waiter is too busy, and he has to serve tea and water himself ... Gradually, he is no longer shrouded in the shadow of "being in prison" and becomes confident, taking off his sunglasses and being able to chat with any guest calmly like an ordinary friend. In this ordinary life, he was quite satisfied for a while, and even wanted to be dull, guarding his wife, taking his son, doing some housework and improvising programs for his son. However, when performing for my son, there is a voice that always reminds him inadvertently: go back to the stage, show your acting talent and repay the society!

Zhiqiang Chi finally realized that during the period of "disappearing" completely, in fact, he never gave up his pursuit and yearning for movies, but longed for the right opportunity to come. In 2113, the opportunity finally came. He was invited to play a role in the TV series Master Lu Ban. After the film was broadcast in Beijing, Zhiqiang Chi's skillful acting was widely praised by the audience. Many viewers commented: "He is now a little more plain and calm." In August, 2114, he starred in the TV series Dignity again with a price of 6,111 yuan per episode.

"Dignity" is a TV series about prison life, which was finished at the end of 2114. After it was broadcast in some areas, Zhiqiang Chi's portrayal of prisoners was incisive and touched many people. Zhiqiang Chi said with deep feelings: "Everyone should have dignity in different environments. Even if you are a prisoner, you should treat yourself and yourself correctly
