On April 5, singer Wang Xinping posted on her social platform announcing that her father, Wang Yu, had died peacefully at the age of 80 at Taipei Zhenxing Hospital on April 5 after battling the disease six years ago. After the news was announced, many friends in the circle posted articles to express their feelings of remembrance.
After the star Jackie Chan learned of the bad news, he posted a group photo of the two to mourn. In the photo, Jackie Chan and Wang Yu are smiling at the camera at the same time, wearing black-rimmed glasses and wearing a pink coat, Wang Yu, with a slightly restrained smile. Jackie Chan said in a memorial article that the Qingming Festival was shocked to hear that Brother Wang Yu had left, and another martial arts master had left. Wang Yu's contribution to fist and foot kung fu films, as well as the promotion of future generations, will be remembered by the industry, and the works will remain in the hearts of fans for a long time.
Tang Wei, an actor who had worked with Wang Yu in the movie "Wuxia", was very reluctant after learning the news. Tang Wei said that he was fortunate to cooperate with Teacher Wang Yu to jointly shoot the movie "Wuxia". Teacher Wang Yu is extremely dedicated and humorous. He enjoyed the appearance of the filming scene, which still makes Tang Wei remember it vividly. Wang Yu, who always loves to perform magic tricks with everyone, seems particularly unforgettable to Tang Wei and misses him very much.
In 2019, Wang Yu won the Golden Horse Award for Lifetime Achievement. At that time, the director Ang Lee presented the award to his daughters Wang Xinping and Wang Jialu, who received the award on behalf of the award. Lee Ang posted a memorial after learning the bad news. He said that it took more than two years to present the Lifetime Achievement Award to Mr. Wang Yu at the Golden Horse Ceremony. Unfortunately, I heard today that Mr. Wang Yu left us. For many fans like Ang Lee, he represents the atmosphere of a certain era. Nostalgic for his movies and heroism.
