"There is a steelyard between heaven and earth, and the weights are the common people..." This song "The Ballad of Honest Officials" was a hit in the late 1990s.

The wonderful performances of Li Baotian, Wang Gang and Zhang Guoli in "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" have been well received by audiences across the country.

The next year, "Emperor Qianlong" Zhang Guoli transformed into the upright, smooth and lovely Ji Xiaolan with iron teeth and bronze teeth.

To this day, there are still many old fans who will call "Master Ji" when they see Zhang Guoli.

In addition to Zhang Guoli's superb acting skills in film and television works, he is also widely known for his loving marriage with Deng Jie.

Until his son Zhang Mo "overturned" one after another, Zhang Guoli's good man persona also overturned and declined.

What is less known is that Zhang Guoli once participated in the construction of the motherland's infrastructure in the mountainous areas of Guizhou, and also won a second-class personal merit in Antarctica... In 1955, Zhang Guoli was born in Tianjin.

His parents were both railroad workers, and their family moved wherever the railroads were built.

So Zhang Guoli was a left-behind child when he was a child, and was taken care of by his grandmother in his hometown.

Children must miss their parents, especially when other children have parents at home.

So Zhang Guoli often cried and asked for his parents. In the end, his father had no choice but to pick him up.

At the age of seven, Zhang Guoli began a life of moving constantly with his parents to follow the construction of the motherland's railway. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is at home all over the world.

When the second brother grew up, he worked on the railway with his father.

When Zhang Guoli was 15 years old, his second brother responded to the country's call and took Dahonghua to join the army.

So Zhang Guoli took over his brother's position and went to Guizhou to build railways.

Kaili is located in Qiandongnan Autonomous Prefecture in Guizhou Province. It is now also an Internet celebrity tourist destination. There is a real-life version of "Spirited Away" Qianhu Miao Village, and the famous delicacy Kaili Sour Fish Soup.

But in the 1960s and 1970s, this was a daunting place deep in the mountains.

Young Zhang Guoli and his fellow workers set up camp in the mountains, cutting rocks, building bridges and paving roads in the mountains... Not only did they have no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery around them, Zhang Guoli's immature palms soon grew thick calluses.

Perhaps because he has watched his father and brothers work like this since he was a child, Zhang Guoli does not feel it is hard or tormenting.

But there is always an undercurrent in his heart, and he hopes to have a different life.

At that time, the Ministry of Railways knew that they were working hard and would arrange for a cultural troupe to come and perform condolences.

One time, the announcer in the group was temporarily busy, and I wanted to find an actor to replace him temporarily.

Zhang Guoli, who was 18 years old at the time, was at the age when a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he was also at the age when he loved to play. He asked his leader to volunteer to report.

The leader saw that the young man had decent facial features, so he asked him to change into clean clothes and go on stage.

At that moment, Zhang Guoli just thought it was fun; the leader also felt that it was not a formal performance, so if young people like to have fun, let them have fun.

No one expected that these few closing words would change a railway worker's life.

The leader of the art troupe thought he looked good and spoke Mandarin fluently, so he stayed in the troupe.

Changing from a worker to a host made Zhang Guoli extremely happy.

In the days that followed, Zhang Guoli became the most popular person in the group.

He knew that he had no foundation and it would be difficult to gain a foothold in the regiment. Asking for advice from others would not be in vain, but he had nothing to offer.

Therefore, he rushed to do all the hard work in the regiment. Anyway, it was ten thousand times harder to build the railway.

He is also very good at getting things done. He immediately pours hot tea for anyone who has no water in his cup. He immediately arranges and hangs up someone's costume on a chair... Everyone in the group likes him very much. He

No matter what questions you ask, everyone will give you advice.

Usually when everyone was rehearsing, he would sit aside and observe carefully.
