Zhang Kaili was a professional speed skater before becoming an actress, and world champion Ye Qiaobo also called her "captain".
Zhang Kaili is not suitable to be an athlete, because her height and long legs affect her skating speed, but her hard training experience has honed her strong perseverance and laid the foundation for her to step onto the peak of acting career in the future.
After leaving the army, 16-year-old Zhang Kaili joined the army and came to Beijing. He was assigned to the National Military Museum as a commentator and got a Beijing hukou. At an early age, I reached the peak of my life in the eyes of ordinary people.
Zhang Kaili has always had an actor's dream in his heart. In order to pursue his dream, he gave up the iron rice bowl in everyone's eyes. 198 1 was admitted to the Performance Department of Jilin Art College.

When China's first large-scale indoor drama "Desire" started shooting, it was difficult for director Xiaowei Lu to find an actor to play Liu Huifang.
At first, his favorite actress was Zuo Ling. At that time, Zuo Ling made a hit with Love in the Pearl River. There are so many plays that there is no schedule at all.
Xiaowei Lu took a fancy to Yang Qing and went to Yang Qing many times, but Yang Qing was not at home every time.
Many actresses came to audition, but none of them satisfied Xiaowei Lu.
Even a beautiful woman like Fu Yiwei came to audition. Xiaowei Lu thinks she is too beautiful and exotic to play Liu Huifang, a worker.
Xiaowei Lu came to the coal mine art troupe to find an actor, and the leader of the troupe recommended Zhang Kaili. At the sight of Zhang Kaili, Xiaowei Lu's heart sank. Zhang Kaili's cheerful and generous personality is nothing like Liu Huifang's restraint and introversion.
Xiaowei Lu continued to search in the group for a long time, but he couldn't find a suitable actor. When he came home disappointed, Zhang Kaili greeted him warmly: "It's only noon now, Director, just grab a bite here. There's nothing delicious, just noodles!"
Zhang Kaili quickly cooked a bowl of noodles, and Xiaowei Lu looked like Liu Huifang when cooking. Shooting started the next day, and Xiaowei Lu couldn't find anyone, so he asked Zhang Kaili to audition.
Zhang Kaili's performance made Xiaowei Lu very satisfied, and she made a decision immediately. It's her!
1990, after the broadcast of Desire, it hit a miracle of 90% ratings. Zhang Kaili, 28, has become the embodiment of "the people's good wife". Men all over the country want to marry a gentle and virtuous wife like Liu Huifang.

Zhang Jianquan fell in love with the national goddess Zhang Kaili. During the week of performance, I accompanied her around the streets of Shenzhen, ate all kinds of snacks and talked endlessly with her about the history and culture of Shenzhen.
Zhang Kaili was attracted by this knowledgeable writer, and they had a feeling of brief encounter, which sparked off a spark.
After the performance, the crew returned to Beijing, but Zhang Kaili didn't want to go back. Her agent told her that her acting career was in its heyday, and then she would face the bottleneck of her career. In the meantime, she can't be distracted from falling in love, but should concentrate on her career.
Zhang Kaili's answer surprised the agent: "I am not in love, but married."
The agent said she was crazy, and Zhang Kaili said firmly, "My career always has ups and downs, I can wait. But lovers are hard to find, and I won't miss it when I meet them. "
At the end of 1995, Zhang Jianquan told his mother about his love affair with Zhang Kaili. When he learned that his son's object was "Liu Huifang", the old man was very happy and agreed to this marriage.
1996, Zhang Kaili and Zhang Jianquan entered the marriage hall. Half a year after marriage, Zhang Kaili became pregnant. Because she has a heart disease, the doctor doesn't advise her to have a baby, otherwise her life may be in danger.
Zhang Jianquan also doesn't want his wife to take risks in production. He said that as long as they have a good relationship, the "Dinks" are also very happy.
But Zhang Kaili said that no matter how dangerous it is, we should give birth to the baby.

After having a daughter, Zhang Kaili was reluctant to leave their father and daughter, resigned as the full-time wife of the coal mine art troupe, and moved her registered permanent residence to Shenzhen.
In order to give his family a better life, Zhang Jianquan plans to go into business. Zhang Kaili joked: "You look like a weak scholar. Don't drown after going to sea."
Zhang Jianquan smiled. "That won't happen. I rely on information. In a place like Shenzhen, I can't even support my wife and children. What kind of man am I? "
1998, Zhang Jianquan opened her real estate business to Beijing. At that time, the Central Experimental Theatre also extended an olive branch to her, and the whole family moved to Beijing to live.

After being married to her husband for many years, Zhang Kaili felt that such a man could live on and had a down-to-earth feeling.
When the work pressure is high, Zhang Kaili takes Zhang Jianquan as a punching bag. Zhang Jianquan understood her very well and told her words of comfort. Zhang Kaili feels particularly indebted to her husband every time she recovers her mood, and always makes soup to comfort him.
