On December 1, according to Hong Kong media reports, Wu Yaohan, an 81-year-old veteran actor, was interviewed by Zheng Danrui's online interview program, during which he shared his physical condition and admitted that he had been secretive about illness and avoided medical treatment.
In the recent photos exposed, Wu Yaohan, who rarely appeared, dressed casually with a light-colored shirt and a black undershirt.
He is 81 years old, and the years have left many traces on him, he has white hair, loose skin, and his aging is obvious. However, his mental state is not bad, and his speech is very clear.
Wu Yaohan revealed that as he grew older, various problems occurred in his body. As early as 10 years ago, his hearing began to decline, but at first he did not notice it. In recent years, his illness has become more and more serious, and he still ignores it. For example, if he can't listen to music clearly, he will only adjust the volume and will not feel that his hearing is declining.
He confessed that he was very stubborn and always refused to wear hearing aids. It wasn't until later that his wife couldn't stand the loudspeakers at home that he forced himself to wear hearing aids. Unexpectedly, after wearing a hearing aid, the standard of living has greatly improved.
Wu Yaohan went on to say that two years ago, he also found out that he had cataracts and has now undergone surgery to install an intraocular lens.
He was glad to live in this era, with enough developed technology to treat various diseases, and he also advised everyone to face up to various problems of the body, otherwise it was himself who suffered losses.
In fact, in his later years, Wu Yaohan can be described as suffering from pain, not only did he have hearing loss and eye disease, he also suffered from kidney failure and heart disease.
His kidney function is only one-tenth of that, and because he is not young, the risk of surgery for a kidney replacement is very high, so he can only go to the hospital frequently for treatment. It is reported that he should regularly dialysis and eliminate toxins in the body to prolong his life.
In recent years, his heart has also had many problems, and in the past interview, he once revealed that his heart was equipped with 5 stents. At the beginning of the year, he was hospitalized again for heart surgery.
Despite his illness, Wu Yaohan has been reluctant to retire and still participates in events or performances from time to time. The reason why he refuses to retire is actually very simple, that is, he likes acting too much and hopes to continue acting.
Wu Yaohan came from a wealthy family and studied medicine in college, but he had little interest in being a doctor and fell in love with acting.
After returning from abroad, he joined the film industry and tried to participate in the performance in front of the curtain.
With unremitting efforts, his acting skills are getting better and better, and more and more crews invite him to perform. After participating in the "Five Lucky Stars" series, his acting career reached its peak.
Over the years, although Wu Yaohan rarely had the opportunity to play the main role, he never perfunctory, but worked hard to play every role, and the professionalism was admirable!
