Everyone has experienced a twist of fate at some time. Actor

Hu Ge is no different. In fact, his story is more amazing than most.

Hu was once a shy boy, and rarely spoke. To help him become more sociable, his parents sent him to an art troupe. At that time, Hu never thought he would have a career on stage or in front of the cameras.

Instead of getting confidence in acting, Hu became very interested in directing. As the national college entrance examination approached, Hu chose to study directing at the Central Academy of Drama in Beijing. Hu got a high mark.Hu had to decide whether to be a director or an actor. He followed his dream and prepared to go to Beijing. But when the teacher told him many great directors had been actors, Hu hesitated(犹豫).He finally stayed in his hometown to study performing arts. He was given a chance to take the lead role .

Hu Ge has been considered as Li Xiaoyao, a character that people remembered from the fantasy series based on a popular computer game of the same title. The 22-year-old man breathed life into main character Li Xiaoyao, and he proved himself to be one of the most promising stars . But few people, including Hu himself expected him to be an actor.

When playing Li Xiaoyao in 2005, he said he made great progress with his kung fu instructor. Hu said, “Surprising, I found pleasure and satisfaction.” In 2006, Hu was badly hurt in a car accident. After several operations , a scar (疤痕)still remains near the corner of his eye. This experience helps Hu understand the role better . Hu’s pretty face was only an advantage of his success, and the scar troubled him for a long time.

But now, Hu has become more confident. “If I myself am not troubled by it, no one else will care. I have to move past it. Otherwise, how can I continue my acting career?” he said. He has changed a lot . Hu played the role of Ming Tai in The Disguiser 《伪装者》and the Mei Changsu in Nirvana in Fire《琅琊榜》in 2015. Those brought him great success.
