You may not be familiar with Zhang Shen's name, but you must remember a role he played, that is, "Little Yin Ershi Wang". This role can be said to be a childhood nightmare. At that time, I was too young to be sensible and almost cried by this role.
Zhang Shen had a hard time since he was a child because of his ugly face. Coupled with poor family conditions and close relatives, Zhang Shen was often bullied by others when he was a child. Later, I saw that all my friends around me grew taller and taller, but my height didn't change at all, and Zhang Shen's character became more and more withdrawn.
The hardships of life did not destroy Zhang Shen's strong will. He suddenly realized that if he wants to survive in this world, he must first learn to support himself. Although he is a "dwarf", he has sound hands and feet, so it is not a problem to go out to make a living. He was adopted by a welfare home, where he became a handyman.
While working in a welfare home, Zhang fell in love with acting, and he wanted to pursue his dream as an actor. Although no one supported him at that time, the stubborn Zhang Shen went. After several years of "drifting north", Zhang Shen finally ushered in his first role. Although this role is not much, at least he is remembered by the audience and noticed by some directors.
However, after all, there is not always a role suitable for him in the entertainment circle. Zhang Shen's playing path can be said to be very narrow, and soon, he has reached the point where there is no drama to shoot. Gradually, the directors can't remember this man, and they don't look for him to film any more.
The failure of career is accompanied by the failure of marriage. Zhang Shen's wife abandoned him because there was no drama to shoot. This "little wife" is younger than Zhang Shen 18 years old and is an extra. I don't know if she's with Zhang Shen to be famous. After losing her reputation, Zhang Shen left her cruelly, leaving behind Zhang Shen and her son.
Maybe Zhang Shen knew that his wife was with him for fame and fortune, and he was a minor celebrity during that time. However, once he lost his reputation, his wife's true colors were exposed. When his wife was about to leave, Zhang Shen didn't stop her. After all, people who are not in their hearts cannot stay.
Despite all kinds of setbacks in life since childhood, Zhang Shen, a strong man, still works hard without complaining. The less people value him, the more he has to prove to others that he can do it Today, he and his son live a good life, positive and optimistic, and never complain about his mother in front of his son. Although only a dwarf, Zhang Shen's heart is like a "giant".
