Directed by Xue Xiaolu and starring Huang Bo, Jia Ling, Zhu Yilong, etc., the movie "Embracing You Through the Cold Winter" will be released nationwide on December 31.
The film is based on the deeds of Wang Yong, the brave retrograde "courier brother" reported by Xinmin Weekly, and tells the love story of several pairs of ordinary Wuhan citizens, in the face of the sudden epidemic, positive and optimistic, supporting each other, warm and touching, very worthy of your going to the cinema to watch.
Among them, there is a supporting role that is also very eye-catching. He is the famous green leaf actor Hui Shaoxiong in Hong Kong. In the film, he plays a Cantonese restaurant owner Pei Ye, whose superb and natural acting skills are impressive.
Xu Shaoxiong, who was born in 1949, is 72 years old this year, but it gives people a trance illusion, as if he is not much different from him 30 years ago. Xu Shaoxiong, like Lin Zixiang, seems to have never been young, but he has never been old, which is very wonderful.
What is the relationship between Xu Shaoxiong and Xu Shaoyang? It does not matter. However, when it comes to Xu Shaoxiong's life, there is a lot to come.
Xu Shaoxiong was born in Hong Kong from Xudi, Gaodi Street, Guangzhou, and his father opened a jade shop. His consort Xu Yingqi was the son of Empress Dowager Cixi, and the official Shangshu of the Imperial Household, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, was given the opportunity to ride horses in the Forbidden City. His uncle Xu Chongzhi was the commander-in-chief of the Cantonese Army who co-founded the Whampoa Military Academy and was one of the main military leaders of the early Kuomintang before Chiang Kai-shek came to power. In March 1925, chiang kai-shek used the assassination of Liao Zhongkai to exclude the Kuomintang leadership.
And his aunt was None other than Lu Xun's wife, Xu Guangping. This is not hearsay, but Xu Shaoxiong himself admitted. And in July this year, Xu Shaoxiong posted a party photo with Lu Xun's eldest grandson Zhou Lingfei on his personal social account, and he affectionately called the other party a cousin.

Hui Shaoxiong also has a family relationship with hong Kong celebrities Hui Jinheng and Hui Aizhou, and the old Cantonese film "Seven Sons Dengke" tells the story of their family.
When asked by the media whether his illustrious life had put pressure on him, Xu Shaoxiong said: "Why should I mind? No, I'm under pressure. In fact, the pressure is ashamed, the elders are so powerful, they are so bad, there is no way to compare, the tree has dead branches, the clan has beggars, I am beggars and dead branches. ”
Not long after Xu Shaoxiong was born, the family moved back to Guangzhou, and in 1958, the family went to Hong Kong again; after graduating from high school, he looked at the shop in his father's jade shop. In 1972, Hui joined TVB after graduation; after working at TVB for three years, he switched to Lai's TELEVISION and returned to TVB four years later.
As soon as Xu Shaoxiong debuted, he had a nickname, called "Benz Xiong", which means Xu Shaoxiong who drove Mercedes-Benz, because it was rumored that he was the first to buy Mercedes-Benz cars among their debut peers, and his family was so well off. We know that Chow Yun Fat and Andy Lau both came from poor backgrounds, Chow Yun Fat hong Kong Lamma Island a rural family, Andy Lau moved with his family to live in the wooden house area of Kowloon Diamond Hill, the poorest in Hong Kong at that time, and worked with his sister and brother to help the family take care of the porridge business.
And Xu Shaoxiong probably belongs to the kind of artists who can't go back to inherit the family property if they can't get along, although he later said in an interview that his family was not as rich as everyone thought, and he was not the first person to buy Mercedes-Benz cars. More than 40 years after his debut, although he has not become popular, he has persisted until now, and many stars have disappeared, but he still appears on the screen. The effort and effort behind this, the bitterness of which, I am afraid that only he himself knows.
In 1974, Xu Shaoxiong starred with Xu Guanwen and Xu Guanjie in the movie "Ghost Horse Double Star", in which he played Xiao Confused, which was the first film he participated in filming.
In 1983, he participated in TVB's most classic version of "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter", playing Zhu Cong, a clever scholar in the "Seven Monsters of Jiangnan". Do you only remember Huang Rihua, Weng Meiling and other stars, and ignore Xu Shaoxiong?
Since then, he has played a supporting role in many TVB TV series, willing to be a green leaf, although he is not handsome, there are not many scenes, but his humorous, relaxed and natural performances always make people remember him immediately. To use the current popular word, it can probably be said to be "grounded".
He is the police inspector in "New ZaShimei", Su Yongbang in "Hedong Lion Roar", the iconic black-rimmed glasses, Xu Shaoxiong is full of affinity, as if he is your uncle and colleague, sometimes old fritters, sometimes a little funny company executive, will make you smile at the screen.
Although he acted in "The Legend of the Eagle Hero" very early, he rarely acted in costume dramas later. Xu Shaoxiong said that because he did not like sticky hoods and sticky beards, he rarely took on costume plays.
In addition to the characters of "Brother Joy" in "Acts", who wander in black and white, he played a lot of "smiling tiger" roles, some careful machines, playing a little trick behind the scenes, but the essence is not bad, but it seems a little cute.
When asked why he played so many of these roles, he laughed and said, "It's important to be happy!" Everyone should like to laugh, laughing is much better than crying! They all say 'the knife is hidden in laughter', and no one will say 'the knife is hidden in the cry'. ”
It wasn't until he acted in Acts that he gained more popularity.
A few years ago he bought a villa in Singapore. He said all this was the result of his tireless efforts.
He also invested millions to open a café for his daughter, and the family lived a happy and happy life, which is indeed enviable.
In the latest "Embracing You Through The Cold Winter", Xu Shaoxiong plays Pei Ye, the owner of a Cantonese restaurant in Wuhan. When wuhan encountered an epidemic, he provided free meals for the hospital's medical staff, and the one he loved, despite her age, put on her battle robe again and was fighting in the hospital.
He prepared a diamond ring for her and prepared to propose to her, when the epidemic suddenly struck. In order to fight the epidemic, the two elderly people have no fear or retreat, one person has come to the front line of the fight against the epidemic, and one person is responsible for providing food.
Every day, he would walk to the door of the hospital and hand her the delicious food made by the medical staff in their department.
And one day, when he walked to the door of the hospital again. She didn't wait where she was. Because at this time, she was infected with new crown pneumonia and had to undergo isolation treatment.
Pei Ye prayed for the people he loved, looking forward to...
When watching the movie, I felt that Xu Shaoxiong this time was very affectionate, and when I came back to think about it, it was completely different from the more comedic role created by Xu Shaoxiong before. This time, he was serious, devoted, and could move the people who watched.
When fate grabs you by the throat, do you flinch, or do you have the courage to face and love? Xu Shaoxiong replied with the role he created this time.
