On July 7, 68-year-old veteran actor Xia Yulin died of cancer and left the audience and friends who loved him. The news was announced on his behalf by Liu Sixi, a 35-year-old actress who has been helping him. Unfortunately, in the last moments of Xia Yulin's life, he was unmarried and childless, and he did not even have a relative around him, because he was worried that he would be affected.
Xia Yulin and Zhang Guorong were once classmates, and the two studied together in Li's actor training class. He chose to change from a teacher to an actor because he loved acting, and made more than 200 plays in his 45-year acting career. Although he did not have Zhang Guorong's debut, he made many viewers remember him with the small role he played.
More than 2 years ago, Xia Yulin was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer, and her condition was very serious. Because of his limited income and the recent downturn in Hong Kong's showbiz industry, he really can't afford to pay his high hospital fees. Until June, actress Liu Sixi, who had worked with "Love Home", learned of the situation and offered to help him raise funds for treatment.
At this time, Xia Yulin was already very ill, and his heart was full of bitterness when he mentioned the friends he had helped. Once helpful, he was abandoned when he needed help the most: "Don't tell people about misery after you are sick, because your friends will abandon you." Tell someone that if you don't have money, your friends will leave. "Because friends are afraid that they will borrow money and will be dragged down."
Xia Yulin, who has an arrogant bone, said that he would never borrow money and would rather starve than apply for CSSA, believing that the application was to admit failure. He has such a confidence. Mei Yanfang, a music diva who has worked with him, has praised him as a wise man and discussed the "meaning of life" together, and big names such as Zheng Shaoqiu, Michelle, Andy Lau, and Faye Wong are very kind to him.
Although his departure made everyone sad, Liu Sixi had a different view. In the later stages, his cancer had metastasized to the bone, and each attack would be painful, and it was even more intolerable for him, who was already weak. At first, he was actively facing treatment, but in the end he wanted to give up because he didn't have money for treatment, because it was not possible to buy medicine to spend money.
Xia Yulin is the 11th Hong Kong showbiz person to be sent away from cancer within 1 year. In August 2020, we bid farewell to director Chen Musheng. In September, 86-year-old Tan Bingwen sadly passed away. In October, 75-year-old Liang Shuzhuang left everyone. In November, Zeng Weiquan died at the age of 58. Before June 2021, Zhao Meibao, Wu Mengda, Liao Qizhi, Huang Shutang, Chen Jirong, and Li Mingwei left everyone.
In addition to Xia Yulin, there are 3 veteran artists in the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles who are battling cancer. On the day of Xia Yulin's death, 57-year-old actor Zhang Daming participated in the nasopharyngeal cancer sharing meeting, and he just celebrated his 57th birthday and shared his experience in fighting the disease. At that time, he felt that he had fallen to the bottom, and in discouragement, he even checked the price of the columbarium.
He consulted a lot of information and found that the probability of cure for nasopharyngeal cancer was minimal. Over the years, he has continued to do treatment, although the current situation has greatly improved, but it has also caused irreversible damage to the body. His left ear has only 80% hearing, and his right ear has only 60%, which is the impact of the disease on his hearing.
He said he could continue performing with his hearing aids. Affected by cancer, which causes pus to have pus in the ear all the time, it is necessary to return to the hospital regularly, which is very hard. Don't look at the fact that he has regained his weight to 128 pounds before he was sick, and he was only about 100 pounds when he was sick. He also returned to show business after his recovery, and won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 2020, which is admirable.
In addition to regularly pumping pus, in 2020, the media reported that he was also poisoned by the body due to the serious excess of heavy metals in the early stage (more than 63 times), and there were sequelae such as foot paralysis and muscle atrophy, and the doctor told him that he was likely to have a brain tumor. But he never gave up on himself, or optimistic to face difficulties.
July 4 is the 84th birthday of veteran actor Yu Mulian, and her first birthday after being diagnosed with cancer. She celebrated with her old friends Wang Manling, Li Lingling, Wu Lizhu and others. In the photo, after careful dressing, her mental state has recovered a lot more than when she was hospitalized before, and her face is rosy.
Friend Wang Manling revealed that Yu Mulian put on her own makeup, put on lipstick, wore earrings, rings and pearl necklaces, and even used false eyelashes, very carefully. Wang Manling revealed that her friend's birthday wish is to return to the way she was before she fell ill and no longer need to use a wheelchair.
In November 2020, childless and childless, she was taken to the hospital by a kind neighbor. At the age of 83, Yu Mulian was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer, when doctors told her that it was already advanced and that time was running out, and she stopped taking medication after her condition stabilized.
It is reported that Yu Mulian contacted her old friend Xue Jiayan by phone in November, telling herself that it might be a farewell call, indicating that she already knew her condition at that time. In August, she was hospitalized for severe pulmonary fibrosis. In November, doctors diagnosed her condition as a grade 3 blood cancer and could not use targeted drugs. She revealed that she had written a will and donated all her property after her death.
In March, on the same day that the late entertainer Liao Qizhi was reported to have cancer, actress Jin Yanling was diagnosed with breast cancer, and this was not the first time she had suffered from cancer herself. She has played countless roles in her life, she has never systematically studied acting, and has won 4 Academy Awards and 2 Golden Horse Awards, although they are all supporting roles, they confirm that small roles can also shine.
Jin Yanling used a video to introduce her situation to everyone, she was found sick during the New Year, when she found a lump in her chest when she was doing exercise, and was diagnosed with cancer by doctors on the fifth day of the Chinese New Year. Fortunately, this is the first stage of cancer, and there is a high chance of cure by electrotherapy, and there is no need for resection surgery.
Although she said this, she could see that she was very nervous, after all, this was the second time she had cancer. Two years ago, also in the New Year, Jin Yanling was diagnosed with uterine cancer, when she was hospitalized for surgery and underwent multiple chemotherapy treatments. For a while, she pushed off the drama and concentrated on resting at home, actively cooperating with the doctor's treatment with the support of her friends.
In addition to Zhang Daming, Yu Mulian and Jin Yanling still in the fight against cancer, there are 5 anti-cancer warriors who have achieved stage victories.
In September 2020, 77-year-old Hong Kong actor Chen Huimin fell ill and was hospitalized, and many people were worried about his health. Chen Huimin's daughter also posted photos of her father and old friends having dinner together later, thanking everyone for their concern. She said that the photos of her previous hospitalization were actually taken in July, and her father had already recovered and discharged from the hospital.
The reason why everyone is worried is also because Chen Huimin once suffered from lung cancer, and everyone is worried about his cancer recurrence. In an interview, the daughter revealed that her father's cancer has been cured, and she is also receiving immunotherapy, so that everyone does not have to worry too much. I hope that this old drama bone can rest and recuperate.
Like Chen Huimin, there are several old drama bones who have had anti-cancer experience, and Li Siqi is one of them. In July, she and Guan Juying, who had played her sister in "Storm of Hearts", gathered together, along with producers Mei Xiaoqing, Xia Yu, Ruan Zhaoxiang and others, which is the big party of "Storm of Hearts".
From 2001 to 2005, Li Siqi temporarily withdrew from the show business circle for treatment and recuperation due to cervical cancer. After the comeback of cancer treatment, he also filmed the TV series "Storm of Hearts", which won the honor of best actress at the Ten Thousand Stars Awards Ceremony that year. Guan Juying and Li Siqi have faded out in recent years, and if it were not for this party, everyone would rarely see them appear in public.
Like Li Siqi, wang Mingquan is also successful in fighting cancer. Wang Mingquan is still the big sister of wireless, and at the beginning of the year, he also spoke out for everyone to increase their income, and also discovered Chen Ziyao, hoping that the company would give artists more opportunities, rather than stereotyping artists. Yoyo hugged Wang Mingquan after winning the "Good Voice" championship.
On July 4, Wang Mingquan accompanied Luo Jiaying to get a vaccine, and although Luo Jiaying was very thin and energetic, he also made a victory gesture to the camera.
Wang Mingquan has two anti-cancer experiences, one in 1985, and at the age of 38, she was confirmed to have thyroid cancer. The second time was after 14 years, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and although the early resection did not worsen, it also made people sweat a little. After fighting cancer twice, Wang Mingquan devoted herself to anti-cancer publicity activities and shared her mental journey with everyone.
Like Wang Mingquan, her husband Luo Jiaying has also experienced the pain of cancer. In 2004, Luo Jiaying was confirmed to have stage 3 liver cancer, which had caused him depression for a while, but after active treatment, he was finally controlled. In 2014, liver cancer recurred again, and although the fight against cancer was successful, it also made the body weak.
In 2019, the couple took to the stage of "Classic Arias" and sang a song "Quexian Bridge". Luo Jiaying wrote a love letter in his own handwriting and publicly confessed his beloved wife on the stage: "We have been in love for 21 years, and we only got married at the age of 60, it doesn't matter if I am late, as long as there is a good ending." You have half a life left, I have half a life left, and we will combine one life. ”
The 84-year-old veteran drama bone Zhong Jinghui also struggled with cancer, Zhong Jinghui was the teacher of the late actor Wu Mengda, and on Zhong Jinghui's 80th birthday, Wu Mengda also celebrated with friends for his mentor. In the face of the death of his beloved disciple, Zhong Jinghui should have a lot of heartache. Zhong Jinghui himself was also tortured by illness.
In 2016, Zhong Jinghui was diagnosed with colorectal cancer, but fortunately the discovery was timely or early, so he finally controlled the condition. Zhong Jinghui also returned to filming after recovering from illness. Zhong Jinghui peach and plum all over the world, Wu Mengda, Zhou Runfa, Zhu Yin, Wang Zulan and others are his students.
Conclusion
Although there are many old drama bones who are fighting cancer and controlling their diseases, there are also many regrets that they have left everyone. This year, Wu Mengda, Liao Qizhi, Huang Shutang and other old drama bones have left, and 38-year-old Chen Jirong and 31-year-old Li Mingwei are also sorry to leave everyone at the age of less than 40.
Among them, Wu Mengda found that the disease was advanced, Liao Qizhi was the same, and Huang Shutang was a recurrence of colorectal cancer. Chen Jirong found that he was already stage 4 of lung cancer when he was sick, and Li Mingwei fought cancer for 9 years and still lost the disease. Among them, the youngest is only 31 years old, and the oldest is 77-year-old Huang Shutang.
In recent years, the economic situation of Hong Kong's entertainment industry has not been ideal, many artists have been forced to take off wages, and many even need CSSA to survive. Xia Yulin had no money to raise money for medical treatment, and so did Chen Jirong. As the president of the Performing Artists Association, Gu Tianle has been actively solving everyone's problems, but sometimes it is still powerless to make people sad.
Even in the face of adversity, everyone did not give up, Zhang Daming said that he spent millions of savings accumulated over the years in order to see a doctor, and also fell into an economic crisis. He also tried to commit suicide and give up at one point, but eventually persevered.
