For today's young people, when it comes to martial arts stars, everyone may think of Jackie Chan, Jet Li and others.
But in the martial arts actor world, there is a person who debuted earlier than Bruce Lee, filmed more than 60 martial arts films, and is the first martial arts superstar in the new century, he is Wang Yu.
In the turbulent Hong Kong of the 1970s and 1980s, martial arts actors emerged in an endless stream, and how did Wang Yu become a leading figure, and what was his background?
His career is booming, his emotional experience must be very exciting, even Lin Qingxia is chasing him backwards, what kind of story is there?

Wang Yu's ancestral home is Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, and the family later went to Shanghai. He was also born in Shanghai in 1944. Wang Yu's family is also in business, and he can also be regarded as a rich second generation.
But he is not as elegant and erudite as other rich second generations, but he has loved to fight since he was a child, and he looks like he is also full of justice.
In the mouth of the neighbors, Wang Yu is completely a bad boy, and he does not let his children play with Wang Yu, and his father is also very troubled by this.
In order to prevent him from getting into trouble, his father sent him to the Shanghai Institute of Sport to learn things related to martial arts. At that time, the Shanghai Sports Institute was one of the first world-class universities established by the state, and the strength of the people who could enter it was not ordinary.
But this did not change Wang Yu's competitive and aggressive personality, he had a fight at school, and Wang Yu left the Shanghai Sports Academy. At this time, my father also decided to go to Hong Kong to develop, so the family went to Hong Kong.
Wang Yu's father decided to go to Hong Kong to develop,
After arriving in Hong Kong, his father found another relationship to let Wang Yu enroll in Zhuhai College. Wang Yu joined the school's swimming team and won the championship for two consecutive years.
Even when he came to an unfamiliar environment, Wang Yu still did not stop. At that time, Hong Kong was relatively exclusive, and his classmates would occasionally laugh at him, and his temper naturally would not choose to be patient, and he would act without a word.
It was also because of the fight that he did not stay long in the new school and was also expelled from the swimming team. However, he did not find nothing, during this time in Hong Kong, he met the great director Zhang Che and became his apprentice.
The fate of the two is also more interesting, when there was a drama that recruited male protagonists. Wang Yu, who came to the casting scene alone, was ridiculed by other applicants.
Therefore, Wang Yu single-handedly knocked down the other people who laughed at him. This scene also happened to be seen by Zhang Che, who felt that Wang Yu was the image of the hero he had in mind.
Zhang Che can be described as a strong support for Wang Yu, and a newcomer like Wang Yu who has just entered the industry generally has to run for several years to get out of the dragon suit, but Zhang Che directly jumped out of this link for him.
Zhang Che prepared the first drama "Tiger Hero Annihilation" for him, and in order to make Wang Yu perform better, he also specially found martial arts instructors for him.
In the end, the film came out very well and was greatly acclaimed.
In 1967, "One-Armed Knife" came out, and with this drama, Zhang Che and Wang Yu both reached the peak of their careers.
The image created by Wang Yu also became the benchmark of martial arts dramas, and the box office exceeded one million, which was already extremely successful at that time.
The emotional path of such a prominent figure must also be vigorous, so what kind of emotional experience does he have?

His first wife was named Lin Cui, and the love between the two of them was no less than the celebrity scandal in today's entertainment industry.
When Wang Yu met Lin Cui, she was already a human wife, and her husband was the director Qin Jian, but this Qin Jian was a full gambler, who owed a lot of gambling debts, and the husband and wife were also in a state of separation for many years.
During the filming of "Golden Bodhisattva", Wang Yu met Lin Cui in the same group and was deeply attracted to Lin Cui. A character like Wang Yu, it doesn't matter if you have a family or not, if you like it, you will chase it desperately.
Lin Cui looked at the gambler husband in the family and then looked at Wang Yu, anyone would choose Wang Yu. In 69, Qin Jian committed suicide, and the next day Wang Yu announced his relationship with Lin Cui, saying that he was pregnant.
As soon as such news came out, the media was in an uproar. The two announced their marriage and had three daughters after marriage. Unfortunately, this vigorous relationship did not last long, and it lasted for 6 years before it ended.
After the divorce, Wang Yu is still a peach blossom, and the most popular of them is the scandal between him and Lin Qingxia.
It is said that it was Wang Yu who was chased by Lin Qingxia at that time, and Wang Yu did not agree because he had just divorced. Despite this, Lin Qingxia did not choose to give up.
Under the pursuit of such a great beauty, Wang Yu had no reason not to fall. The two began a sweet relationship, but it lasted only half a year and ended without success.
The reason for the breakup was mainly because Lin Qingxia was still in the rising stage of her career at that time, but Wang Yu did not care about her girlfriend's career at all, and still constantly picked quarrels and provoked trouble, bringing a lot of negative effects to Lin Qingxia.
Wang Yu is also out of love for Lin Qingxia, and does not want her to be affected by herself and offers to break up.
After Wang Yu and his wife divorced, they had a relationship with many actresses, but they never remarried.
Until 1981, Wang Yu and flight attendant Wang Kaizhen flashed marriage, which also caught the media off guard. But this relationship also ended up boiling over.
The age difference between the two is very large, and they are a veritable old husband and wife. In 1999, Wang Yu personally went to the hotel to catch his wife, which also ended his second marriage.
How is this martial arts superstar who once dominated the film world now? Later, Wang Yu broke up with the old owner Shao Group, so he turned around and went to Taiwan to develop.
When he went to Taiwan, his career was also very smooth, and more than a dozen works in succession achieved good response. Wang Yu, who came to Taiwan, became acquainted with Ke Junxiong, the eldest brother of the Qingzhu Gang, and the two often traveled together.
Therefore, no one in Taiwan dared to move Wang Yu. Wang Yu, who was middle-aged, began to retreat behind the scenes, became a producer, and his fame in the entertainment industry gradually faded.
Due to the frequent fighting in his youth, he also had some physical problems, and he was also suffering from illness in his old age.
Wang Yu, who is now 77 years old, has been hospitalized for 5 years, and his daughter has been with him to take care of him. At the beginning of this year, Wang Yu was discharged from the hospital and has been able to make some basic reactions.
Although Wang Yu had many representative works when he was young, his acting skills were not to be said, but because of his personality problems, negative news was entangled, and many nominations were not related to the awards.
It wasn't until last year that he won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Golden Horse Awards, and because he was unable to attend for physical reasons, his daughter took the stage to receive the award.
However, this also makes up for his regrets over the years, and it is also an affirmation of his life. We also wish Wang Yu the care of his family and his health will get better and better!
Looking back at Wang Yu's life, he has lived for himself. The once chivalrous teenager is already a twilight old man, but his legend will always remain in people's hearts.
No matter what kind of scandal Wang Yu has, but his professionalism is also obvious to all, filming for so many years has never used a stand-in on his own, such a payment in exchange for the Golden Horse Award Lifetime Achievement Award is well-deserved.
This spirit in him is worth learning from all of us, and in the end we still hope that Wang Yu's old age will be healthy and safe, and he will no longer be tormented by illness.
