"Young Hannibal is really handsome, an evil smile on a charming hook." This is the highest number of likes for the French film "Young Hannibal" in the Chinese film fan community.

After the news broke, the world strangled, and many people from all walks of life in France paid tribute to him.

"Yulier skis without a ski helmet"
According to French media reports such as France Bleu, the tragedy occurred at la Rosière ski resort, one of the largest snow fields in France. French media said that at about 3 p.m. on the 18th, Yulier was skiing on one of the widest slopes of the snow field. Around 4 p.m., the resort received an alarm call that a skier had collided with another skier at the intersection of two pistes.
Witnesses said Yulier had just turned left around the corner to join the pistes when another skier just rushed down and the two collided.
About an hour later, the injured were taken by helicopter to the Grenoble University Hospital, which specializes in ski accidents, and Yulier, who suffered a severe head injury, was admitted to the hospital ICU for rescue. After a day of rescue, finally on the afternoon of the 19th, the hospital announced that yulier's head injury was too serious, and the rescue was ineffective.
It is understood that Ullier did not wear a ski helmet while skiing, so it caused a serious head injury. The skier who collided with Ullier was only slightly injured because he was heavily armed.
Ullier was born in Boulogne-Billancourt, a wealthy suburb on the west side of Paris, to a stylist and a designer father. He has a scar on his cheek that was scratched by a dog when he was 6 years old. Because the scar looks like a dimple, Uriel says it enhances his ability to express emotions, which many fans have called "the most fascinating scar in all of France."
Ullier began his acting career in 1996 at the age of 12 in the miniseries A Woman in White. In 2002, he was nominated for the César Film Award for "Most Promising Actor" for Michel Blanc's French-Italian-British co-production Kiss Whoever You Want, was discovered by director André Téchiné, and was nominated for the "Most Promising Actor Award" at the second César Film Awards.
In 2005, Ullier won the César Film Award for "Most Promising Actor" for "The Long Marriage", and in 2017, he won the 42nd César Award for Best Actor for "Just the End of the World". He often walks the catwalk for Paris Fashion Week, is the advertising spokesperson for Chanel Bleu perfume, and also works with the spokesperson of the Longchamp bag, supermodel Kate Moss, to shoot the brand's commercials.
Ullier also played the young man Hannibal in the 2007 film Rise of the Man and the fashion guru Yves Saint Laurent in the 2014 film Paris Saint Laurent.
In addition, in the highly anticipated superhero series "Moonlight Rider" starring Oscar Isaac and Ethan Hawke, Ullier also participated. The series will premiere at Disney+ at the end of March this year, and this "debut" that was supposed to be Yullier's joining Marvel has now become a posthumous work, which makes fans around the world regret, "Waiting for the Moonlight Knight to appear, but the actor of the villain Midnight Man has died... Rest in peace for the dead..."
Ski resorts from Schumacher to Ullier Alpine are prone to accidents
While grieving, people have noticed that, as in previous years, the news of accidents in skiing will gradually increase after entering January.
Earlier, in the Haute-Savoie area not far from La Rosière, a 5-year-old British girl was killed by another skier. According to Prosecutors in Savoie, the man was initially charged with manslaughter and said speeding could have been the cause of the accident.
Mountain police officers who serve at the scene of the Yulier accident also said that in recent days, as temperatures have dropped and the snow has hardened, they have carried out five or six rescues a day.
These accidents are reminiscent of the skiing accident that occurred in 2013 by Michael Schumacher, known as the "god of F1 cars", in Meribel, another French ski resort. Schumacher was seriously injured when he fell and hit the right side of his head on a rock on the side of the slope, and doctors decided that he would become a vegetative person in the future. The ski resort is about 50 km from where the Ullier ski took place, and both were treated at the Grenoble University Hospital.
To this day, Schumacher, 53, has not been seen in public for eight years, and his family has given little detail to details of his condition after the accident. His wife, Corinna, said in a Netflix documentary last year that her husband was "different, but here he is" and that his family, including the couple's son Mick, who is now a Formula One driver himself, cares about him.
Skiing has always been a high-risk sport, and "alpine downhill skiing" has been called one of the "top ten most dangerous sports on earth". There are not a few professional athletes who die in accidents during sports.
On November 13, 2017, David Poisson, a French alpine downhill skier and world medalist, died in an accident during training at the age of 35.
In 2001, French skier Regina Cavagno, the world champion of the Super Giant Slalom and a famous skier in France, had a collision accident while training in Austria and eventually died of a brain injury. In an interview with the French "Team Newspaper", former French alpine downhill downhill player Luc Alphon was very sorry: "It is futile to say anything. It is impossible to completely eliminate the risks of alpine downhill sports. ”
In addition to speed, there are many dangers hidden in the ski resort
Despite this, because skiing can bring the ultimate experience of speed, more and more people choose to ski in winter, and the enthusiasm of the sport only increases. In particular, the ski slopes in the French Alps have become a base camp for skiers.
Indeed, beautiful landscapes, exciting experiences, haunting cuisine... The benefits of skiing go beyond. So, how to avoid potential dangers in sports?
First of all, whether it is a novice or an old cannon, we must do a good job of all-round protection. Moreover, skiers of different ages need to choose the right sport. After all, the speed of skiing is like driving, there are many uncontrollable factors, and while we mourn Ullier, we should understand that self-protection is the last "life-saving defense line" at a critical moment.
And the biggest danger in skiing is not speed, but avalanches. This is also a particular concern for skiing in the Alps in January. According to a previous announcement by the Swiss Institute for Snow and Avalanches, the snow cover in the Alps was less stable in January, with weak layers in the middle and bottom of the snow that could easily trigger avalanches. Therefore, paying more attention to extreme weather reminders, avoiding dangerous periods, and learning self-help knowledge in case of avalanches are also necessary tasks for ski preparation.
In addition, there are tourists reminding that in some ski resorts in the Alps, the elevator queue is a bit confusing and crowded. The visitor noted that "elevator attendants in Europe don't bother to maintain order because they set aside time for themselves to smoke." ”
