Recently, I have watched many old Hong Kong movies, most of which are works from the 50s and 60s. I saw many veteran Hong Kong movie stars again, and I felt a lot of emotions.
Especially to see the figure of many male stars, in the past, they were all sunny and handsome, radiant, all of them were exquisite flower men with exquisite facial features, and they were now several streets of small fresh meat. But over time, they have changed too much. Because of their different developments, the recent situation and the current situation are very different.
Many of them have now died, and some are still dead. And those who are still alive are also in their 80s. The oldest one, 92 years old this year.
So, when we see their former bodybuilding figures and bright smiles again, can they evoke good memories for you?
Today, let's just talk about 15 of them. Look at who among them has changed the most?
Rankings are in no particular order.
First, Fu Qi
Fu Qi is one of my personal favorite actors. Compared with the indiscriminate and undisciplined behavior of other male stars in the same period, Fu Qi is simply like a "clear stream".
He not only has good acting skills, but also presented wonderful interpretations in movies such as "Honeymoon", "Sweet Honey", "Beauty Plan", "The First Opening of Love Sinus" and so on, but also looks spirited, sunny and handsome, and warm as jade. The most important thing is that as a star and idol, his character has nothing to say, he is very dedicated to his work and very strict with his feelings. In 1954, he held a wedding with Shi Hui, who was also a Great Wall movie star, and since then, he has been inseparable from love and has been with each other for 67 years, which has been rumored to be a good story.
Fu Qi first became an actor and then a director, and his "Yun Hai Yu Bow Edge" and "Life and Death Struggle" directed by him were quite popular. And movies such as "Shaolin Temple", "Shaolin Kid", "North and South Shaolin" that we are all familiar with also have his participation. He later went to Canada with Shi Hui after his retirement. The old man is now 92 years old. And he and Shi Hui's daughter Fu Mingxian have already entered the show business circle and become stars.
Second, high and far-reaching
Gao Yuan is an actor who debuted at the same time as Fu Qi, but the fate of the two is very different. Some people say that Gao Yuan looks more handsome than Fu Qi, with picturesque eyebrows and handsomeness. So in many Hong Kong movies in the 50s, he appeared as a handsome and young man. Many of our friends have seen movies such as "Trial Wife", "Robber Groom", "Painted Skin", "Red Bat Apartment" and other movies starring him, right? His handsome image is truly unforgettable.
He has achieved some achievements in his acting career, but the emotional world is a chicken feather. At that time, he was entangled with Chen Sisi and Leti, and had long dominated the headlines of the Hong Kong entertainment version, which was talked about by the vast number of melon-eating masses. But in the end, Chen Sisi divorced him and turned around to marry his uncle, lottie chose to commit suicide, and Gao Yuan became a joke in the eyes of many people.
He began to go to sea in the late 1970s. Since then, it has been away from the magnesium lamp and hidden in the city.
Third, Zhao Lei
Zhao Lei entered shaw companies in 1953 under the introduction of Li Lihua. He was tall and handsome, so he was quickly praised, starring in many costume films, most of whom were handsome young students. In particular, the emperor he played in "Beauty of The Country" is very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In 1962 he started a film company with his wife, Quartz, and made some films. Later, he played some roles in films directed by Li Hanxiang. However, because he played basically the same kind of characters, he was tired, so he quit the film industry and began to engage in business. He died on June 24, 1996, at the age of 68.
Fourth, white clouds
Bai Yun is quite handsome, a lifelong gentleman, and is a representative of soft rice and hard eating. He became popular in the 40s and was evaluated by Li Hanxiang as: to have a look, to have a head and a head. I guess it's also because of the good looks, so many rich actresses are upside down.
He began filming in 1938, starring in films such as "Three Laughs", "The Tale of the West Chamber", and "The Song girl of Tianya". In 1947, he moved to Hong Kong and made films such as "The Legend of the White Snake", "Yutang Chun" and "Pan Jinlian" at Shaw's. Mainly to play the role of "merry little student". He had many scandals in his life, and successively married the famous Lady Luo Shunhua and the Famous Dan Yan Huizhu of Peking Opera, but all of them ended without a problem.
The once-popular male star had a rather bad encounter in his later years. He wandered to Taiwan in 1966 and made films and done business, but nothing improved. In 1982, his body was found by the sun moon lake, and he had committed suicide by taking poison and died inexplicably. In the end, his posthumous affairs were handled with the help of his student Ouyang Shafei. Life is a drifter, death is a wandering soul. It was his own evaluation of himself.
5. Thunder quake
Lei Zhen is also a handsome young student in the Hong Kong film industry in the 50s. His sister is the famous Lottie. Only now, few people know the name Lei Zhen.
He has a handsome image, but his temperament is melancholy, so he has won the title of "melancholy student". I've seen a movie he starred in, and the title is forgotten, but his big eyes are still fresh in my mind.
In 1975, he became a businessman. In 2000, he made a cameo appearance in wong Kar-wai's film "Fancy Years". He died on April 3, 2018, at the age of 84.
Sixth, Chen Hou
Alas, Chen Hou was really short-lived, and he died at the age of 39.
In the 1950s, he starred in a series of impressive comedies in Hong Kong. He has a thick and honest face, but his performance is very spirited, especially good at dancing, and his style is unique. He starred in "Mandarin Duck Robbery", "Black Lady", "Mambo Girl", "Three-Star Moon", etc., all of which have received good box office.
He has been married twice, but both ended in a breakup, which shows that he is not a qualified husband. His second wife was Lottie, but after marriage, he was still unscrupulous, and after cheating, he was discovered by Lottie, and the two divorced. After that, Chen Hou left the United States, but less than a year after arriving in the United States, he died of bowel cancer at the age of 39.
7. Jianghan
When you see the above stills, do you have a feeling of déjà vu? Yes, this is a still from the modern drama "Sha Jiabang". But not modern Peking Opera, but drama. The actor who plays the male protagonist Guo Jianguang is not Tam Yuen-shou, but Hong Kong movie star Jiang Han.
Jiang Han can be said to be one of the most popular young actors in the Hong Kong film industry in the 1960s and 1970s. He was born into an artistic family, and his parents were movie stars in the 1930s and 1940s. And he himself is also the head of the Great Wall of Hong Kong and Phoenix Film Company. He has handsome eyebrows, fresh and handsome, and the role he portrays in the movie is very popular. In 1985, he also played the role of Iron Crutch Lee in the TV series "Eight Immortals Across the Sea" that we have all seen. Later, he joined TVB and became an old drama bone, starring in many dramas. On December 7, 2017, Jiang Han passed away at the age of 78.
VIII. Wu Chufan
Wu Chufan was really famous at that time. Until the 1960s, he had been a general existence of the "emperor of movies" in the Hong Kong film industry. He began filming in 1932, mainly making Cantonese films. Among them, the new role of Gao Juexin in "Home, Spring, autumn" is very different from Sun Daolin's version. He also received the Gold Award for Outstanding Actor from the Ministry of Culture in 1957.
He starred in hundreds of films during his lifetime and is a household name among Hong Kong audiences. Unfortunately, there are very few people who know him now. He died in 1966. Then went to Canada. He died in 1993 at the age of 84. Later, in recognition of his contributions to Hong Kong cinema, the Hong Kong film industry also awarded him the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Hong Kong Film Awards.
IX. Yan Jun
Yan Jun has also been acting in movies since the 1930s. Because of his superb acting skills and broad drama road, he won the title of "Little Student with a Thousand Faces". After arriving in Hong Kong in 1949, he starred in films such as "A Generation of Demons" and "The World of Lying". Later, he directed films such as "Cuicui" and "Qin Xianglian", which were well received.
He had two marriages. The first wife was the actor Umemura, and the second wife was the famous actor Li Lihua. In addition, he also had an affair with Lin Daiyin. He quit film in the early 1970s and then moved to the United States. He died in the United States on August 18, 1980, at the age of 63.
10. Bao Fang
Speaking of Bao Fang, young audiences may immediately think of Feng Qingyang in TVB's 1996 version of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu" and the sweeping monk in the 1997 version of "Tianlong Babu". But for viewers in the fifties and sixties, it might be more familiar to him. The characters he left a deeper impression on everyone are the eldest brother in "Cuicui", Lu Chaolong in "Three Phoenixes Seeking Phoenix", and Qu Yuan in "Qu Yuan".
However, what many friends don't know is that he also starred in the drama "Red Lantern" as Li Yuhe. Judging by his stills, it is refreshing. Bao Fang joined TVB in 1983 and became an old drama bone of TVB. He acted until 1999, when he finally had to stop filming a sudden stroke while filming "Tea is Hometown Strong". On September 22, 2006, the veteran artist, who won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Golden Bauhinia Awards of Hong Kong Cinema, died of illness at the age of 84.
11. Zhou Cong
Chow Chung is a native of Hong Kong. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he is quite energetic. As soon as he debuted, he was praised by Guangyi Film Company, starring in movies such as "Right and Wrong Relatives", "Husband Changed Heart", "Mandarin Duck Knife", "Rare Lover" and so on. Became one of the popular students in the Hong Kong film industry in the 50s.
Zhou Cong later worked as a manager at a theater for a while. In 1999, he joined TVB and played various roles as an old drama bone. Now the veteran actor is 90 years old, but he still appears in movies such as "Kill a Dusk" and "Move Her 77 Times". The old man is old, but the creative spirit is not reduced. Above are his stills from "77 Times Touched Her".
XII. Guan Shan
Guan Shan is Guan Zhilin's father. He entered the film industry in 1954. In 1956, he became an actor of the Great Wall Company, and was known for creating simple and humble characters. "A Q Zheng Biography" and "No Love" starring him are very popular. His handsome image is also very deeply rooted in people's hearts.
In 1960, he married actress Zhang Bingxi, and in 1962 gave birth to a daughter, Guan Jiahui (also known as Guan Zhilin). The marriage ended in 1975. Guan Zhilin stayed with her father. Time entered the 80s, Guan Shan began to engage in business, and gradually faded out of the show business circle. He died of illness in 2012 at the age of 79.
13. Publicity
The beautiful man in the photo is also picturesque, right? A pair of large eyes, looking heroic. He is Zhang Yang, another handsome young man on the screen in Hong Kong in the past. He joined Shaw in 1953, partnered with You Min and Li Lihua to shoot, and later became famous for co-starring with Lin Dai in "Red Baby", becoming a popular Chinese male star.
The thick eyebrows and big eyes are often used to play the upright and masculine male number one in movies, and the tough screen image is favored. The film representative works starring him include "Stars, Moons and Suns" and "Love of Wild Roses". In 1961, he married actress Ye Feng Lightning, but soon separated. In 1966, he married Shen Peizhen, an outsider. In 1975, he went to the United States to do business, and has rarely appeared in public since. Now he is 91 years old.
14. Zeng Jiang
When Zeng Jiang was young, he was definitely a beautiful man. He debuted on screen in 1955 for his role in the film "Birds of the Same Age". But then he went to the United States to study architecture, and then returned to the Hong Kong film industry in 1964, starring in films such as "The Great Circus". In the 1970s, he turned to the television industry, becoming one of the first television actors in Hong Kong, and was well known to a wide audience for playing the role of Huang Yaoshi in the 83rd edition of "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter".
Today's Zeng Jiang has long become a rare old drama bone in the Hong Kong film and television circle. And at the age of 86, he is still filming. For example, this year, he has played roles in the TV series "Criminal Police Overseas Action" and the movies "First-Degree Accusation", "Daily Fantasy Guide" and "Super Me". He still looked very arrogant and arrogant.
Fifteen, Xie Xian
Oh, I think that when Xie Xian was young, he was much better looking than Xie Tingfeng. Look at the exquisite appearance of his facial features in the picture above, how handsome. What was even more rare was that his eyes at that time were still so clear.
He entered the industry in 1953 and became an actor in the Light Arts Film Company in 1955, making many films, such as "The Strange Case of three wives", "Flowers in the Rain in May", "Chasing Wives", "The True Colors of Heroes" and so on.

Nicholas Tse and Tingting Tse were his children born to Deborah. Although he is 85 years old now, his dashing style has not changed at all. In the same frame as his son Nicholas Tse, he did not lose the battle.
