He is "Jia Rong" in "Dream of the Red Chamber",
It is also the "Cao Pi" in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms",
Stills of Yang Junyong's "Dream of the Red Chamber"
But Yang Junyong in real life,
But there is no such life as "Jia Rong" in the play,
Instead, at a young age, he experienced the pain of losing his relatives that ordinary people could not bear.
Yang Junyong
01
In 1964, the first day of the new year,
Yang Junyong was born in an ordinary family in Nanjing,
Parents are ordinary people, but they share a common hobby - listening to drama.
They often listen to plays while they are working,
In his spare time, he takes his son to see a theatrical performance.
Over time, the young Yang Junyong also learned a few words of drama,
From time to time, there will be a few words of singing.
Since then, the dream of becoming an actor and standing on the stage is,
Like a seed, it took root and sprouted in Chen Junyong's heart.
But in the somewhat feudal era at that time, people liked to listen to drama.
But some people look down on opera actors, so in the eyes of ordinary people,
To become an opera actor is somewhat unprofessional.
But the young Yang Junyong never thought so, but envied these actors,
Ability to perform on stage.
So he begged his parents to let him go and learn drama.
In the future, I will become an actor and stand on the big stage.
But conservative parents disagree,
In their eyes, if the son goes to learn drama, it is equivalent to ruining the future,
Only a good study can change one's destiny.
In the face of his parents' rejection, Yang Junyong, who has always been obedient, confronted his father for the first time.
He argued with his father on the basis of reason, and almost made him angry.
Then Yang Junyong was beaten by his angry father,
And said to him, "If you go to study drama, I will break your leg!" ”
Even if taught by his father,
He still secretly ran to the theater garden to worship a master.
After visiting the teacher every day after school, Yang Junyong always secretly ran to the theater garden to learn drama,
At first, the parents did not find an abnormality,
Only when the son is playful does he often come home late.
But over time, Yang Junyong often did so,
Let the father, who has always been kind, find out that something is wrong.
After discovering that something was wrong with his son,
One day, his father quietly followed Yang Junyong,
It turned out that the son had entered the theater garden, and at this time the father suddenly realized,
It turned out that this boy was carrying him behind his back to learn drama.
Father did not immediately catch Bao Yang Junyong,
Instead, he went home to discuss measures with his wife.
After the husband and wife have discussed it,
Quietly waiting for his son Yang Junyong to come home.
At that time, Yang Junyong had just returned home after learning the play,
Seeing that my mother was still busy as usual,
The father, on the other hand, sat in the house unusually to eat and drink.
Looking at my father who is different from usual,
Yang Junyong chuckled in his heart,
It seems that he hid the story of his parents learning drama and was discovered by his father.
Yang Junyong just wanted to explain to his father, but he didn't expect his father to open his mouth first:
"You secretly went to study drama, didn't you?"
Yang Junyong responded with some emptiness:
"I just went to the theater garden to watch the play."
The father looked at Yang Junyong, who had a ghost in his heart, and sighed:
"Forget it, since you insist on learning, I will not stop you,
But you have to make sure to study at the same time, study well!"
Yang Junyong was full of joy after hearing this, and happily agreed to his father's request.
In this way, Yang Junyong studied hard while studying hard,
While using his spare time to insist on learning drama,
This persistence lasted for several years.
02
Until the age of 14, Yang Junyong finally ushered in the opportunity to change his life.
In 1978, I heard that the Chinese opera opened a small actor training class.
Yang Junyong did not want to miss this opportunity, so he did not hesitate to sign up.
After the exam, with handsome looks and excellent results,
Yang Junyong successfully stood out from many selectors.
Successfully entered the Chinese opera training class to study,
He became a classmate with Xu Yajun, Cai Guoqing and others.
After entering the training class, Yang Junyong always went to the class first.
Having studied drama, he quickly adapted to the acting course.
Time flew by, and Yang Junyong successfully graduated from the Chinese opera training class.
After graduation, Yang Junyong was originally a young teacher who stayed in school.
But the children's theater troupe at that time lacked actors,
So he entered the Children's Drama Theater and became a children's drama actor.
But at this time, Yang Junyong has passed puberty, and the period of voice change has long passed.
I haven't played a child role anymore.
Reluctantly, he had to play the grandfather or father of other children.
Even so, Yang Junyong is still conscientious in the troupe, not to argue or grab.
In his opinion, no matter the size of the role, it must be carefully interpreted,
It is by virtue of this spirit of doing things without size,
Yang Junyong's acting skills are also improving rapidly.
I thought I would stay in the children's theater all the time.
Plain and simple for the rest of your life,
But heaven doesn't seem to want to bury his talent,
Soon it gave him a chance to show his talents to the fullest.
Still
In 1987, Wang Fulin prepared to shoot the TV series "Dream of the Red Chamber".
In order to bring the characters closer to the original, the crew sought out actors across the country.
When the crew came to the children's theater to select actors, they found Yang Junyong,
Yang Junyong in his youth, looks like a book,
A table of talents, very much in line with the image of "Jia Rong" in the original work.
So the director Wang Fulin immediately made a decision,
Played by Yang Junyong as "Jia Rong".
Yang Junyong, who had just been selected by the crew, was somewhat flattered,
There is also some hesitation.
Happy is that I have an opportunity that everyone envies,
Hesitant is that he has been engaged in stage performance,
Having never been in the crew, Yang Junyong was afraid that if he did not act well, he would drag down the progress of the crew.
But Yang Junyong did not want to give up this great opportunity, so he fell into a tangle,
Also because he was still in the gap at that time, he finally decided to take over the role,
Challenge yourself,
Don't try how to know that you can't.
After Yang Junyong entered the crew, he acted very positively, often helping other actors to play,
When you have your own scenes, you always prepare in advance, and when you start shooting, you will interpret them carefully.
Never let go of a single shot and a look.
It is the gold that will indeed shine, with the broadcast of "Dream of the Red Chamber",
Yang Junyong also ushered in the peak of his career.
The "Jia Rong" he played was deeply loved by the audience,
It is also true that the golden jade of "Jia Rong" is defeated on the outside and the character characteristics inside,
The interpretation is vivid. It is also a classic that has not been surpassed so far.
After the filming of "Dream of the Red Chamber",
Yang Junyong fell in love with acting through this participation,
But he didn't choose to continue filming.
Instead, he returned to the theater and continued to perform the play.
In the years of acting in the drama, the crew of "Water Margin" also invited Yang Junyong,
But because the time was wrong, Yang Junyong had to give up this opportunity.
Wait for the next opportunity to come, this wait is a few years.
Until 1991, Wang Junyong saw the newspaper publish,
Wang Fulin wants to shoot some TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms",
He didn't want to miss the opportunity,
Immediately with the mentality of trying it out, he called the director.
After the phone call was called, Yang Junyong asked Wang Fulin:
"Director Wang heard that you want to shoot "Romance of the Three Kingdoms",
Can I play one of these roles? ”
Wang Fulin heard that it was Yang Junyong, who had cooperated before,
Without saying a word, I agreed.
Soon Yang Junyong received the notice of the audition and arrived at the place where the audition was.
The director of the group saw that Yang Junyong looked handsome and said that he would let him play a martial artist.
I thought that I had fixed the role of the play, Yang Junyong did not expect to receive a notice later,
He played a "Cao Pi" who was both literate and martial.
After the role was fixed, Yang Junyong quickly came to the crew to shoot the scene.
During the filming process, he ushered in the happiest moment of his life.
03
That year Yang Junyong's son was born,
He was happy to be a father.
As early as 1990, Yang Junyong married his wife outside the circle when he was in the drama troupe.
Yang Junyong and his wife did not have a vigorous love,
Some are just the same as always,
After the two married, the wife gave birth to a son for him.
After becoming a father, Yang Junyong knew that the burden on his body was heavy.
So he began to continue to take over the drama, hoping to bring a good life to his family through filming.
In this process, Yang Junyong and his wife and children often gather less and leave more,
So the family takes care of the son,
The matter of filial piety to parents falls on the wife alone,
But the wife understood her husband and never complained a little.
Once Yang Junyong was filming in the crew, he received the news that his son was sick,
He was anxious, but he was afraid of delaying the filming of the crew when he took a leave of absence, so anxious that he stomped his feet.
Just when he was hesitating, his wife called,
Comfort him not to worry, there is her at home to take care of, let Yang Junyong rest assured to shoot the scene.
Hearing his wife say this, Yang Junyong finally put his mind at ease and continued filming.
Because of this incident, Yang Junyong was full of guilt and gratitude to his wife.
All he can do is try to make money.
Let your wife and children live a better life.
Just when Yang Junyong was immersed in a happy life,
But the bad news came that his father was ill.
After hearing the news, Yang Junyong eagerly wanted to rush home.
But the family reassured him, saying that his father's physical problems were not big,
Let him not worry too much.
Yang Junyong, who has always been dedicated, heard that his father was not in serious trouble,
Decided to stay in the crew and continue filming.
Soon the crew finished, Yang Junyong did not stay for a moment to rush home to visit his father,
It wasn't until the moment he met his father that he learned that he had cancer.
And because of the cancer stroke, time is running out.
Looking at his father, who was once tough, so haggard and tormented by the disease,
Yang Junyong's heart was full of guilt.
But now there is nothing to do but make good money,
Because only in this way can the father receive treatment and suffer less.
At that time, Yang Junyong and his wife lived in Beijing, and his father was treated and lived in Nanjing.
During the time when my father was ill, he often traveled back and forth between the two places.
Even though Yang Junyong prayed so wholeheartedly, he still did not wait for the miracle to happen,
In the end, his father did not hold on and left Yang Junyong forever.
The father's departure hit the mother very hard, and for a time the mother became depressed,
Seeing his mother so sad, Yang Junyong, who was also sad, could only endure and cheer up.
Stay with your wife by your mother's side.
But as an actor, Yang Junyong, if he does not work, there is no income at home.
Helplessly, in order to live, he could only give his mother to his wife to take care of.
He went out to shoot again, and his wife's comfort reassured him as he left.
When he came to the crew, he did not know that his wife was also terminally ill.
Until one day I received a call from my wife's sister,
Only then did I learn about my wife's cancer.
At that time, my wife had entered the operating room,
But Yang Junyong could not go back, because he signed a contract with the crew,
Yang Junyong, who kept his promise, had to endure his grief and continue filming.
During this period, Yang Junyong once again received the bad news of his mother's death.
He has always been strong, he really can't hold on,
But I am afraid of being known by the crew,
Affecting the progress, he had to be idle in filming,
Staying alone in a place where no one is secretly wiping away tears.
In this way, he endured the sadness and finished the whole play,
No one in the crew knew about his difficulties.
Maybe God saw Yang Junyong's pity and pitied him again,
After the wife's treatment through traditional Chinese medicine, her health gradually began to improve.
At the same time, his son was also ready to study abroad because of his excellent grades.
In order not to let his son worry, Yang Junyong hid the deterioration of his wife's condition.
The husband and wife duo in order to let their son study with peace of mind, wife ninja illness and Yang Junyong,
Personally take his son to the airport and watch him get on a plane to a foreign country.
The son did not disappoint his parents either, and he was at the top of every exam.
Just when Yang Junyong thought that his wife was slowly getting better and his son was also proud of himself,
Fate once again dealt him a fatal blow.
Yang Junyong's son just returned to China after successfully graduating,
Yang Junyong's wife was ultimately rescued due to the spread of cancer,
pass away.
The mother and wife died one year apart.
In 5 years, Yang Junyong suffered three major blows, losing his father, mother and wife.
A series of events completely crushed Yang Junyong, who once wanted to go with his relatives.
But the son cried and said to him:
"Dad, I've lost too many relatives, if you leave, what can I do?"
Yes, he has lost his parents and lover, but he still has a son,
If he were to leave his son, he would really have no relatives.
Thinking of this, Yang Junyong became strong again,
Even if you don't live for yourself, you have to live for the sake of your son.
In an interview, Yang Junyong mentioned the death of his relatives and choked up several times.
Or even say:
"If I choose again, I will definitely not choose to be an actor, because I can't live in my conscience.
Sorry for parents, sorry for wives and children! ”
When needed, you are not around.

After that, he gradually became less sad and devoted himself to acting again.
He has successively participated in "Blood in the End of the World", "Changed the Human World",
"Forever Comrades-in-Arms", and many other anti-Japanese TV series.
Through participating in these TV series, people have seen a different Yang Junyong,
He is no longer the image of the white-faced student in the previous impression,
Instead, he was transformed into an iron-blooded anti-Japanese hero.
I also recalled in the show,
When filming anti-war film and television dramas in those years, the director was very strict,
Often test the actor's adaptability during filming,
I have also been tested, often not shouting "click" during the shooting process,
There was no way for Yang Junyong to improve until the director shouted to stop.
Every major actor must undergo rigorous training,
It's with these trainings that
In order to create an impressive character.
It seems hard for ordinary people, but Yang Junyong said so
The crew lived and the trainers were happy.
This shows Yang Junyong's love for acting.
With the passage of time and the increase in filming and television dramas,
Yang Junyong slowly began to return to normal life.
My son has also achieved success in his studies and found a very good job.
It is also the age when it is time to start a family.
Yang Junyong is also like all ordinary fathers under the sky,
Looking forward to my son's early family,
to add to the population of the home,
Looking forward to having a warm home again.
But the day did not go according to people's wishes, yang Junyong did not wait for which day after all.
In October 2021, Yang Junyong was sent to the hospital for emergency rescue due to a sudden heart attack.
After repeated rescues, he still failed to save his life.
He died with regret at the age of 57.
Yang Junyong's sudden death caught people off guard,
But for his son,
The death of his father also caused him to completely lose his last loved ones.
We don't know how he's going to live after his father dies.
But there is no doubt that he has finally become,
Orphans in other populations.
After his death, the 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber",
"Jia Baoyu" played by Ouyang Fenqiang,
Post a tribute on social platforms.
And posted a screenshot of the chat of the old friends of the Red Chamber crew,
The actor who once played the role of the Red Chamber in the screenshot,
He also said that in August, he was filming in the same crew as Yang Junyong,
Maybe even he didn't expect that that reunion would become a farewell.
At this time, people learned that Yang Junyong passed away,
After learning the news, netizens have mourned,
I feel that the world is uncertain, and I also feel sorry for the loss of such a good actor.
Yang Junyong was lucky in the first half of his life, fortunately he seized the opportunity,
Also actively create opportunities for yourself to have a happy family.

The second half of life is unfortunate and strong, experiencing the blow of the loss of a loved one,
It is difficult for ordinary people to accept, even if life gives him countless tribulations,
But Chen Junyong is still strong.
Unfortunately, the world is uncertain, Yang Junyong, even if he is resolute, he still has not escaped the hardships of life.
Once upon a time, after the loss of his family, he cried out through the program,
I hope that people can cherish the people around them and don't wait until they lose it to regret it.
It is precisely because he has experienced it that he is more
Can feel that despair and pain,
Maybe we don't feel the same way,
But Yang Junyong's story will still make people cry.
His life has created countless film and television works for people,
Especially "Qia Classmate Youth", "Yan'an Song", "The Rule of Zhenguan", etc.,
Yang Junyong's wonderful performance left a deep impression on people,
It also creates characters with vivid personalities.
Although the Slovaks have passed away, the image he has played,
No matter how long it takes, it will not be forgotten, and it will not fade at any time.
Maybe leaving is also a relief for Yang Junyong,
He no longer had to carry his wounds alone,
He can also be reunited with his loved ones,
Finally, I can live the happy life I once had.
In fact, life is full of sorrow and joy, facing the suffering of life,
The only thing we can do is cherish the person in front of us and don't wait until we lose it to regret it.
Tomorrow and accidents do not know the first to come, in the face of the death of the dedicated old drama bones,
I can only wish Teacher Yang Junyong all the best!
If there is an afterlife, you must not be tired of life, but live happily.
