Maybe the years are getting old, but they used to be the brightest stars in front of the screen.

Shi Ke, 1966, from zhijiang city, Hubei. She is the youngest girl in the family. She has been following her sister, Smith, since childhood. She is lively and bold, like a little boy. She is fearless, climbing trees, catching sparrows and doing somersaults.
However, little Skeeter has always had a dream of singing. Next to her home is the auditorium and cinema in the center of the town, which can be said to be her film and television enlightenment.
Chinese and foreign films such as Surprise on the White Tiger, Danube River and When Picking Apples are often shown here, which left a deep impression on Shi Ke's mind and buried her dream of becoming a singer in the future.
When he graduated from high school, Shi Ke wanted to apply for Wuhan Conservatory of Music, but this road to music was not as smooth as expected. Because of his hoarse voice and poor cultural performance, Shi Ke failed in the list for three consecutive years.
But she didn't give up. She entered the factory as a temporary worker, working to support herself and preparing for the exam.
In the fourth year, Shi Ke, who took another exam in Wuhan, happened to meet Chinese opera and enrolled students in Wuhan. With the mentality of giving it a try, Shi Ke applied for both Wuhan Conservatory of Music and Central Academy of Drama.

At that level, there is a famous China opera Five Golden Flowers, and Shi Ke is one of them.
At that time, off-campus directors also went to Chinese opera to choose actresses. Among the female students of Chinese opera at that time, Gong Li was the most outstanding in the history of song and dance.
But at that time, Shi was better than Gong Li. She has unique and highly recognizable beauty, bronzed skin, sexy thick lips, big eyes, European style and a little wild. She is like a "gypsy woman" with various customs.
At that time, Zhang Yimou, who had just become the winner of the first A-class international film festival in China with the film Old Well, was preparing to make his first film, Red Sorghum, and choose the heroine in the Chinese opera.
At that time, the first choice for the role of "Jiu-Er" was Shi Ke, and Gong Li was only the alternate heroine. Indeed, from the appearance, Shi Ke fits well with the female images with big breasts and fat hips in Mo Yan's novels, but in the end, the role of "Jiu-Er" was replaced by Gong Li.
There are many theories about the reasons for the role change. One of them is that the protagonist of Red Sorghum was originally Liu, but later Liu resigned and the protagonist was replaced by Jiang Wen.
Director Zhang Yimou thinks that Shi Ke is more suitable for Liu than Jiang Wen. On the contrary, Gong Li and Jiang Wen are more suitable. Some people say that the crew has been unable to finally decide the heroine, so they have adopted the way of flipping a coin.
For this statement, Shi Ke himself said that it is not credible, just an excuse. There is also a highly credible statement that Gong Li is Zhang Yimou's favorite type. He once praised Gong Li for being photogenic more than once, which can be seen from the casting of Looking for Women later.
At this time, Gong Li has far surpassed Shi Ke in achievements, and Shi Ke also missed the opportunity to shine with international superstars.

However, the history and talents in the university have not been buried. With her unique appearance, Shi Ke starred in the commercial film Love with Black Boy directed by Xueshu Yan in her junior year, which was her first heroine drama, and also sang the theme song of the film, thus realizing her dream as a singer.
In the same year, he starred in the movie "Rock Youth". During 1989, Shi Ke, a senior, performed the opera "Sunrise" in the Central Opera House, showing his vocal talent to the fullest.
After graduating from the Central Academy of Drama, Shi Ke became a full-time actor of the Central Experimental Drama Troupe, in which he often received invitations from TV dramas.
It was not until the TV series "Addiction" of 1994 was broadcast that Shi Ke really became popular. Although not the heroine, as one of the protagonists, Shi Ke is also remembered by the audience.
Over the years, Shi Ke has always maintained a serious and dedicated attitude towards the performing arts. Her first film "Black Boy's Love" was filmed in Yunnan for a whole year, so she also walked with the crew in the mountains and rivers of Yunnan for a year.
Later, in order to play a good wrestling champion, Shi Ke studied wrestling in Inner Mongolia Sports Team for another month. She has always been a bright star on the stage of drama, and has made many achievements:
Throughout the history of more than 30 years, she has taken care of TV series, movies and stage plays, as she herself said:
"As long as there is a play on the stage, it is an actor's greatest happiness."

Shi Ke, who had a musical dream since childhood, met Huang Xiaomao, an independent musician, by chance. This is a talented musician. Lao Lang's You at the Same Table, Gao Feng's Big China, Luo Zhongxu's Stars and Transcendence are all written by him.
After Shi Ke and Huang Xiaomao met, they hit it off, fell in love quickly, and then quickly entered the marriage hall.
After the divorce, Shi Ke continued his busy stage career. At that time, the Central Experimental Troupe was rehearsing the drama "Divorced, Don't Come to Me". As one of the protagonists, Shi Ke's scenes are very heavy, but because Shi Ke has other film and television work at hand, it is unbearable, so he resigned.
Therefore, the rehearsal plan of the play was disrupted, and the Central Experimental Troupe fired Shi Ke in a rage. Because of this incident, other crews began to draw a clear line with Shi Ke, and for a time Shi Ke suddenly lost his job and had no drama to shoot.
At that time, Shi had a boyfriend and didn't have much interest in Christian, but infatuated Christian often bombarded Shi by mail and flew to China to see her. In the face of Christian's fierce pursuit, Shi Ke finally wavered and came together with him.
Faced with the disapproval of Smith's parents, Smith was unwilling to leave his parents and become a Swiss citizen. Christian chose to move to China for his lover. This financial analyst, who is said to be worth over 100 million yuan, is willing to be China's "Old Ke" for love.
After returning with the invitation of Shi Ke's troupe and film and television drama, Lao Ke began to take care of her daily life, and also worked hard to learn Chinese to please her parents-in-law. His sincerity was rewarded.
In 2000, Shi Ke married Lao Ke, and the following year, 37-year-old Shi Ke gave birth to a lovely mixed-race boy. This kind of transnational marriage is not as difficult as it seems. Scrooge and Chloe agreed to take turns taking care of the children. Lao Ke often takes the children to visit classes. Even if they quarreled, Lao Ke was the first to bow his head and admit his mistake, making Shi Ke a princess.
Shi Ke and Lao Ke have been married for more than 20 years and have always loved each other. They often show their love on social platforms. Recently, they also took photos of Lao Ke visiting the class with his youngest son. A family of three is happy.
The 60-year-old Smith is still gentle and generous, full of simple and neat temperament. Time has left no trace on her, but it has made her more moving, which is inseparable from a happy family life. Caressing will make a woman young from the inside out.

Today, Shi Ke has few bright spots in film and television, but her calm acting still creates many classic roles for the audience. In this year's hit TV series "Shangyangfu", Shi Ke plays the queen with a deep mind and decisive means, racing on the same stage as Zhang Ziyi, and her aura is not inferior.
After so many years in the business, Shi Ke has been shining and blooming for this career he loves. As she said, acting makes her life more quality, and it is also the source of her youthful vitality.
Shi Ke's first half life may not be so smooth:
