Thirty years ago, Dong Lifan's "fierce" shadow could be vaguely seen on the ground. He had a carefree personality and even a bit fat figure.

She met her first love when she was in her early twenties. Her first love was cheerful, clean-looking, obedient, tolerant and considerate to her.

When she was young, she thought it was love.

One day, her lover said that the capital chain of the company he opened was broken.

She didn’t think about the options, nor did she think about cutting her losses. She just collected 50,000 yuan—50,000 yuan in 1985. That was all the hard-earned money she could scrape out, all her family property, and she dedicated all of it to her lover, hoping to make advances and retreats with him.

She waited and waited at home, hoping for good news. She wanted to wait for his company to return to normal, and to wait for his urgent need to be resolved...

In the end, she waited for nothing, because the so-called "lover" had already brought the 50,000 yuan she gave him. The money ran away.

She laughed out loud while crying at home: Forget about cheating money, why are you so "heartbroken"?

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the well rope for ten years. Thirty-six years have passed, and she is still afraid of that rope. She never dares to get closer or get involved in a new relationship.

Today, let us get closer to her and talk about Dong Lifan, who has only been in love once in his life.

01

In 1964, Dong Lifan was born in Shenyang, Liaoning.

There are four people in the family, father, mother, brother, and her. This small family is as ordinary as thousands of small families, and it is also the same as the secular small family - boys are given priority over girls.

My brother is like the little emperor of the family. He can study and learn the accordion. He combines the love of his parents and the hope of the whole family. Everyone hopes that he will be excellent and that he will become a talented person.

Dong Lifan is like a maid in this family. Her family ignores her and even forces her to go out to work at a young age.

After graduating from junior high school, Dong Lifan did not dare to stay at home. She was afraid of her father and was afraid that he would say that she was "eating for free."

So, at an age when other children were acting coquettishly in their parents’ arms, Dong Lifan ran to the factory where his father was the leader and worked as a bricklayer.

At first, Dong Lifan just wanted to work hard and earn some living expenses, but she never thought that her father would bring the "squeeze" he had done to her at home to the factory.

He was extremely strict with her, often criticizing her and educating her. Even when his daughter was injured at work, her father didn't feel sorry for her at all. He just scolded her for working too slowly and being unwilling to endure hardship.

The absence of father's love has tempered Dong Lifan's will to be different from ordinary people.

Regarding the indifference of her family, she broke her teeth and swallowed it in her stomach; regarding the heavy work, she did not say a word about hardship or tiredness, she just worked hard, sometimes one person was doing the work of two people.

Dong Lifan’s hard work was recognized by his colleagues in the factory, but as a leader, his father was afraid of being gossiped about, so he always gave his daughter the “first-class honor” to others.

Once, twice, three times... No matter how hot the blood was, it was drenched by cold water.

Dong Lifan no longer pinned her hopes on the terrible life in front of her. She began to open her eyes and see a broader world.

By chance, Dong Lifan began to have a strong interest in vocal music.

She took the initiative to find a well-known local vocal teacher. The teacher routinely conducted a series of assessments on her and concluded that she was not suitable.

If it were a spoiled girl, she would have been scared away long ago, but who is Dong Lifan? She is a strange woman who has lived under injustice and oppression since she was a child. She has a heart that is so powerful that it is formidable. With a "strong heart", nothing can hold her back.

The teacher doesn’t teach, right? It doesn't matter, she practices on her own. Work during the day and sing at night.

The teacher won’t accept it, right? It doesn't matter, she "visited the thatched cottage three times" and one day she will be able to impress the teacher.

The teacher quickly surrendered and agreed to teach the stubborn girl to sing.

In this way, Dong Lifan began to live a life of chasing her dreams. While working in a factory, she went to the teacher's home to study vocal music.

Although life is very hard, it is also very fulfilling.

Dong Lifan has put herself "low" enough, she is sensible enough, and patient enough, but there is always someone who is going to be the last straw to break her, and there is always someone who is going to give her a smooth road. Set up one level after another. This person is still her father.

Dong Lifan is a patriotic and progressive young man.

She works diligently, is honest and down-to-earth, and has already met the requirements for joining the party. But it was her father, the father who was always afraid of people gossiping, who took away her hope year after year, time and time again.

This time, Dong Lifan was no longer silent. She officially broke with her father and went to the steel rolling mill.

After the job transfer, she still did not give up her dream. In such a wonderful time, bravely pursue the life you want.

All her colleagues around her are busy falling in love, but she is the only one who actively participates in the activities of the publicity team and the performance team, both inside and outside the factory.

In just a few years, Dong Lifan's dream territory expanded to Shenyang Power Plant, Steel Rolling Mill, Amateur Propaganda Team, Shenyang Song and Dance Troupe, Liaoning Opera House and other artistic work organizations.

In these places, she met more artists and saw more artistic performance methods, and she began to dream of becoming a ballet dancer.

As we all know, Dong Lifan has a fierce face and a strong figure. Such outstanding appearance not only gives her "recognition", but also limits her development in the ballet career.

What you can’t get is always in turmoil.

She couldn't give up, so she decided to go to Beijing Film Academy to learn another kind of acting. And because of this persistence, her fate ushered in a turn for the better.

In 1990, Dong Lifan, who had encountered obstacles everywhere, finally met the noble man in her life-Zhao Benshan.

At that time, Zhao Benshan went to major acting schools to recruit actors. After a long journey, he was moved by a bold and fat girl.

This bold and fat girl is our protagonist-Dong Lifan.

The two hit it off immediately, and there was no red tape in the secular sense. They simply invited them: Come on, come and film.

In this way, Dong Lifan participated in the first movie in his life, "The Living Treasure".

There is a scene in "The Treasure of the World" where the period was filmed giving Dong Lifan pickles to eat.

Whether it was intentional or a mistake, Period replaced the pickles on the table with chili peppers.

When filming actually started, the director shouted: action! Dong Lifan picked up the chopsticks to pick up the kimchi, only to find that the props had been stolen.

Movies made more than thirty years ago were still shot purely on film, and film was very expensive.

In reality, Dong Lifan does not eat chili peppers. She is afraid of spicy food, but now she is working and filming. She does not dare to NG, so she picks up the chili peppers and stuffs them into her mouth, exposing the A smile forced out of tears.

This "silly" professionalism moved Zhao Benshan, and he took her to shoot a movie "Everyone Is Here".

In this movie, Dong Lifan's role is more important, and his character is more complex and changeable.

But she interpreted it very well and received rave reviews for a while. She also has more acting appointments.

This drama brought confidence to Dong Lifan and officially launched her acting career. However, history tells us that there must be people who applaud and detract from it.

When Dong Lifan recalled this period in an interview program, he said: "A teacher once said that I was not good at acting. To be honest, it irritated me. Later, I secretly made up my mind that I must act. Well, I must be a good actor, even if I am a supporting actor."

This seriousness of "even if I am a supporting actor, I must perform well" makes the famous director. Zhang Yimou also noticed this distinctive actor.

He extended an olive branch to Dong Lifan.

One "Alive" and one "Happy Time" established her unique position in Chinese film and television.

Subsequently, Dong Lifan starred in many movies such as "Better and Better" and "Legend of Fragrant City", and his career has steadily increased.

I just lament that life is always full of good things.

Dong Lifan's career was going smoothly, but his family of four in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, encountered changes one after another. First, his father suffered from cerebral thrombosis, and then his mother contracted rectal cancer.

Even though she did not receive much care from her parents when she was young, Dong Lifan was still a filial daughter. She resolutely gave up her flourishing career and returned to her hometown to stay with her parents until her father passed away.

When I returned to Beijing, the entertainment industry had changed.

In a circle that is changing at an extremely fast pace, no one knows who she is anymore.

If it were anyone else, I might have given up.

But who is she? She is Dong Lifan who has been the best at patience and waiting since she was a child. She is Dong Lifan who never gives up in the face of adversity.

She started from scratch again, starting from an unknown passerby, and rebuilt her own foundation step by step.

Finally, the cold came and the summer came, and in 2007, she was waiting for the movie "Crazy Racing".

Dong Lifan plays a rich woman in the movie. Different from traditional rich women, she is cunning, tough, strong and unreasonable.

Because the image of "Fat Sister" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, investors always look for Dong Lifan to play various rich women. Over time, she is enthusiastically called "the rich woman professional" by movie fans and friends.

Some fans even joked about her stills: Rich woman, I don’t want to work hard anymore.

Dong Lifan was lucky to have a second spring in her career, but emotionally, she stayed in the last cold winter forever.

When she first arrived in Beijing, Dong Lifan met her first love.

Her first love was gentle, gentlemanly, and obedient.

Dong Lifan grew up in an environment that lacked care and had a strong desire for intimacy that is different from ordinary people.

The two soon fell in love. How could the innocent Dong Lifan know that this sweet relationship was a carefully designed scam? Her so-called "lover" also defrauded her of 50,000 yuan and disappeared.

The liar left. She first denied it, then doubted it, and then realized it. She put a cage on her heart and locked it with a "click".

It has not been opened again.

In 2017, Dong Lifan was a guest on "Big King and Little King". The host asked:

She shook her head: "No."

After a while, she added: "Maybe this is my fate. ”

Dong Lifan, 57, is still single!

From a disgraced bricklayer to a golden supporting role in the entertainment industry, Dong Lifan's journey has not been an easy one.

She was alone all the way, and her journey was full of twists and turns, from Shenyang, Liaoning to Beijing, from obscurity to emerging talent, from entering the film industry to falling into the dust, and then dormant in the cold winter, waiting for the flowers to bloom.

Like Maugham's protagonist Strickland, there were sixpences all over the floor, but she looked up and saw the moon.

Treat your dreams like this, and treat the people around you like this.

Dong Lifan’s parents favored sons over daughters. They loved their sons in every possible way and treated their daughters harshly.

When her family suffered a change, she ignored her past grievances and her career, which was on the rise, and ran away for three years without hesitation, taking on the heavy responsibility of taking care of her parents.

Chu Lian carefully designed a scam, falsely claiming that his company was in trouble and the capital chain was cut off. Dong Lifan spent all his money and property to help him get out of trouble.

No matter how others treat me, I will always repay them with loyalty.

I hope her future road will be smoother and less bumpy.
