Wang insisted on going to a Shaolin Temple though his family opposed it, in the same year. He trained in Shaolin martial arts.[4]

Career

Prior to entering the film industry, Wang was an unskilled labourer who was paid 25 yuan a day; he had not been home for over two years as he was unable to afford the railway ticket.[5] Wang was initially rejected from acting due to his height,[5] but got his start working as an extra in Beijing.[6] In 2003, he was cast in the independent film Blind Shaft as a "down-to-earth" guy.[7][5] For his role in Blind Shaft, Wang received the Best Newcomer award at the Golden Horse Film Festival.[8][9][10]

In 2006, Wang starred in the military drama Soldiers Sortie, playing a soldier who is physically slow but who wins respect because of his strong faith and untiring efforts.[7] The drama was a huge hit, and gained Wang wide critical acclaim and huge popularity.[12]

In 2009, Wang starred in another military drama, My Brother is Shun Liu as the title character.[7][13] The drama was another huge success for Wang.[14]

On 14 August 2016, Wang made a post to Sina Weibo announcing he would divorce Ma.[20] He accused her of entering an extramarital affair with his agent, Song Zhe (宋喆), and transferring/concealing some of the couple's assets.[21][20] In a later Sina Weibo post, Ma said Wang had abandoned their family, and threatened to sue him for defamation; she filed a case against Wang on August 16.[22][20] The divorce became a trending topic on Sina Weibo, where posts with the hashtag #WangBaoQiangDivorce were viewed over five billion times.[20] Wang filed for divorce that was accepted by a Beijing Court, and the trial was held in October 2016.
