If you could go back to your life, when would you most like to go back to? What did you most want to say to me at that time?
Yan Zhengguo said: "I will find myself when I was 14 years old, because that was the beginning of everything bad; if I have this opportunity, I will know what 'fear' is and what my parents are like." It is important to let me know that I am very lucky.”
Yan Zhengguo’s life has been full of ups and downs.
The age of 14 was a watershed in Yan Zhengguo’s life. As he himself said, it was the beginning of everything bad.
Before this, he was a child actor that everyone liked, and he was a child actor who won the Golden Horse Award.
At a young age, he has achieved achievements that many people cannot achieve in their lifetime.
The audience has great hopes for Yan Zhengguo, and the media even calls him Jet Li's successor.
But as time went by, he gradually grew up, and the once popular child star began to face the pressure of transformation.
Coupled with becoming famous at a young age and being driven by the friends around him, Yan Zhengguo, who was in his adolescence, found it difficult to control himself.
At some point, Yan Zhengguo became addicted to drugs and even committed theft with his friends.
At this time, everyone still has the filter of childhood, and they easily forgive the mistakes of young people.
Because Yan Zhengguo was still young, he did not receive any practical punishment.
But this incident also made him a bad boy in the eyes of everyone.
After that, people began to look at him through colored glasses, which also laid hidden dangers for his subsequent imprisonment twice.
The comments from the outside world and the strange looks from people around him made Yan Zhengguo become more and more withdrawn, careless, and began to give up on himself.
The only friends around me seem to be those who were criticized together.
So, a group of bad boys gathered together again, and their negative energy became more and more.
At the age of 17, Yan Zhengguo committed the same crime again. This time age was no longer a reason and he was sentenced to 5 years in prison.
People are like this. Once they get into trouble, they will ignore their extreme ideas.
After finally being released from prison, he committed an even bigger mistake not long after, and this time the punishment was three times that of the last time.
Being imprisoned twice has torn the family apart. The already elderly parents are worried day and night, and their health is declining.
My father passed away after his illness became irreversible because he had no money for medical treatment.
Yan Zhengguo went to his father’s funeral in shackles and saw him for the last time.
Perhaps people always have to lose before they can grow. Yan Zhengguo finally realized this and changed his past life style.
I practiced calligraphy and meditated in prison, and then returned to the right path, as if I had become a completely different person.
After being released from prison, he also found a job as a calligraphy teacher.
In his spare time, he also follows the rules. Apart from spending time with his mother at home, he also devotes himself to studying acting.
After that, he returned to the entertainment industry as a director with the movie "Kakutou 2 - The Rise of the King" which exceeded 100 million yuan.
The best way to describe Yan Zhengguo is with the prodigal son turning back.
Those who do not defeat you will eventually make you stronger.
After experiencing these ups and downs, he has truly grown up and believes that no difficulties will be able to knock him down in the future.
Presumably, my father’s spirit in heaven would be very happy if he could see it.
