On the 17th, the Taiwan media suddenly broke the news that 80-year-old actor Chen Songyong died of illness.
According to Taiwan media reports, Chen Songyong died at 15:07 on the afternoon of the 17th in the hospice ward of Taoyuan Chang Gung Hospital at the age of 80.
According to his friend, as early as more than a month ago, Chen Songyong's body was in a physical condition, and the doctor had suggested that he could maintain his life by dialysis, but he decided to let himself go well, and his sanity was still quite clear before leaving.
After the news of Chen Songyong's death came out, he quickly appeared on the hot search in the mainland.
Many people will not forget the classic roles he played.
In the entertainment industry of Taiwan Province, he is known as the big brother by many people, and his life is quite colorful.
Chen Songyong was born in a poor family, and although his father loved him, he liked to use sticks to educate.
Because of his family's poverty, after attending primary school, he worked everywhere to set up stalls, and was extorted by the gang for protection fees. However, after being slightly older, he was bullied and returned with his fists and feet, and no one dared to bully him again. There was even news that he had briefly joined the gang, a news that he did not respond positively, but only said that the boundaries of the gang were not well defined.
But he did have a hot temper when he was a teenager, and the owner of the seafood seller once saw him when he was young and wanted to bully him, and when he sold squid, he had a quarrel with him, and he directly stabbed people and went away.
Because of this incident, their family lost a lot of money, and he was hanged from a tree by his father and beaten to death.
It wasn't until he was thirteen or fourteen that Dad didn't hit him again.
Every time he was chased or ticketed by the police for setting up a stall, he hid on the set and became interested in movies over time.
However, the opportunity for him to enter the circle was because he did not have money to spend the night at a friend's house, but his friend opened a yellow shop, which led to him being arrested and arrested by the police. He simply hid in the TV station accommodation, and after staying for a long time, he simply acted in the Minnan opera.
In 1970, Chen Songyong turned to the film circle and acted in many classic dramas and movies, but because of his appearance, his roles were mostly big brothers or.
For example, he played Jiang Heshan in "Supreme Ji Zhuangyuancai" co-starring Tan Yonglin and Andy Lau.
In the film, he is the leader of the Taiwan gang, Jiang Yunyun's cousin.
The big circle of dragons in Prison Storm 2 Fugitives.
In the film, he was not compatible with Zhong Tianzheng, played by Zhou Runfa, but both of them were forced to escape from prison, and the two suffered together during the escape, resulting in a different friendship.
The peak of Chen Songyong's career should be in 1989, the eldest son of the Lin family, who runs a business house, played in "City of Sorrows".
Another protagonist in the film is Liang Chaowei.
Chen Songyong was not the first choice for "Lin Wenxiong", it was the supervising producer Yang Dengkui who strongly recommended him at that time, and was opposed by director Hou Xiaoxian, but in the end Chen Songyong still acted.
There is no script, no lines, relying on the situation to figure out the performance, relying on his own life experience, and really let Chen Songyong defeat the competition of Jackie Chan and Niu Chengze and win the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor.
However, mainland audiences are most familiar with his role than the domineering but cute Lei Tiger in "Fang Shiyu".
"Serving people with virtue" is Lei Laohu's mantra, and it is also a point that many mainland netizens still remember.
In "The Five Ancestors of New Shaolin", he is Ma Jiashan, still a living treasure.
Chen Songyong can speak the Tao, is a man and bold, and is a regular customer of Taiwan Zong.
He cursed and wrote books to teach the art of speaking.
He went to "Kangxi Lai", in order to show his health, good physical strength, and also performed a self-hammering belly.
Not only that, but he also let Little S beat him in the stomach, and as a result, Little S was out of breath and he didn't do anything.
For the sake of health, Chen Songyong, who smoked three or four packs a day, quit smoking.
But he couldn't quit drinking, and even drank it directly on the "Kangxi Lai" program.
His love of wine is basically known to his friends. Lu Xiaofen broke the news that Chen Songyong would drink one or two sips before filming, and a bottle of wine could drink for 1 or 2 months, but if there was no drama, it could be drunk from morning to night, and it was useless for others to persuade him.
In 2006, Chen Songyong suddenly suffered a stroke and was sent to the hospital, paralyzed in his right half, and his life also underwent earth-shaking changes.
At the most serious time, three years after the right half of the paralysis, he was sent to the hospital because of stomach bleeding, his body was getting worse and worse, and his vision was almost blind because of cataracts and retinal bleeding.
After that, he suffered from various diseases such as hydropulmonary hydropulmonary and kidney disease, but he insisted on not quitting alcohol, feeling that life was short, it was better to enjoy the present, and his health situation deteriorated.
Since he fell ill, he has been accompanied by Filipino maids.
Chen Songyong, who never married, once said that when he was young, he was too poor to give the girl a future and did not dare to fall in love.
At the age of 40 he fell in love with a woman in his early 20s, but still broke up and decided not to have a girlfriend again.
He publicly stated in "Kangxi Lai" that if he could not give the other party an eternal commitment, it was better not to associate.
He also admitted that the feelings around him are all bought and sold now, and he also questioned whether some women were for his money.
His biggest scandal was that after his death, he was revealed by his friend Lu Xiaofen that he had a son.
According to Lu Xiaofen, she had heard others say that Chen Songyong had a child out of wedlock with his girlfriend before becoming popular, but the specifics were not clear. Probably because he didn't want his son to be exposed, so his son never showed up, and no one knew about the latest situation.
Without a wife and children, he is cared for by the Filipino maid Yule, who treats Yule as his daughter and asks Yule to call him "Abba". He thanked her for her careful care, not only sent her gold, but also said: "In the future, I will give her 2 million when I die." ”
In recent years, after his health has improved slightly, he will go to the gathering of friends again, saying that he is also paying attention to physical maintenance, otherwise the money has not been spent, and the person will die.
Taiwan media were once curious about his savings, and he proudly replied: "The money is so much that I don't know who to give!" ”
This year's Spring Festival, he was invited to participate in the "Spring Festival Gala for Caring Entertainers", revealing that he did not have high blood pressure, but had diabetes, his left eye had been completely blind, and his right eye vision was only 0.6.
Two months before his death, he also met Admiralty director Li Yuefeng in the park and invited him to his home for a drink.
Chen Songyong's sanity before his death was very clear, and the doctor believed that as long as the dialysis could continue to maintain life. But he thinks that he thinks that he is over eighty years old, has been in the world for too long, does not need to be attached, and has been ill for many years, it is better not to cling. He insisted on not requiring aggressive treatment such as intubation, but only hospice care.
He said he had "no regrets," the only regret he felt was that "there was so much money left that he didn't spend it until he died." When people die, they die, tombstones are useless, and they want to take a tree burial. ”
According to Chen Songyong's friend, Chen Songyong walked very peacefully. This time, he could drink happily in another world.
Good luck with him all the way!
