In the era of black-and-white television, mainland audiences watched Shi Xiu fall in love in Hong Kong dramas; today in the 21st century, his figure is still active on the screen.
As the "evergreen tree" of the Hong Kong showbiz circle, the actresses Shi Xiu has worked with have crossed from the post-60s to the post-90s, and what has not changed is his superb acting skills and unparalleled personal charm.
Shi Xiu, whose original name was Chen Shuoxiu, came from an artistic family, and his father was Chen Zhikang, a screenwriter, producer and assistant director. Affected by the family environment, Shi Xiu made his debut at the age of 8 when he was "electrocuted".
At a young age, he quickly gained a foothold on the set with his acting skills.
In order to shoot the scene, Shi Xiu skipped school and transferred schools many times, and his grades were poor. In order to let his son focus on his studies, when Shi Xiu was 13 years old, Chen Zhikang did not allow him to take on the role again, and Shi Xiu was not able to return to the set until he graduated from middle school.
At the age of 19, Shi Xiu met his wife Huang Ruli, who was the sister of Shi Xiu's death party, a full 5 years younger than Shi Xiu.
The younger sisters are all brothers' heels, and whenever Shi Xiu and the good brothers go, this sister will follow wherever she goes, and slowly become acquainted with Shi Xiu.
Because of her young age, Huang Ruli always asked this and that curiously, and Shi Xiu patiently answered for her. Huang Ruli, who was still studying, did not understand her homework, and also asked Shi Xiu, but Shi Xiu's learning was not refined. In order not to disappoint his little sister, Shi Xiu went to the bookstore to buy the same version of the textbook, taught herself and then taught her.
With the deepening of their relationship, the two gradually developed different feelings. At first, Huang Ruli did not know that Shi Xiu was an actor, but one day she suddenly saw Shi Xiu running around in shorts on the street, which made him know that his profession was so special. However, at that time, Huang Ruli did not pestered Shi Xiu, but only laughed at his interesting outfit.
The two were in love for almost 10 years before they got married, when they went to the Hong Kong Marriage Registry to sign, neither of them dressed properly, wore a pair of jeans and went, and were laughed at by the registrar as "avant-garde" - in fact, only because they were too familiar.
Later, the reporter who still had a good relationship with Shi Xiu could not see it, and dragged the young couple to the Hong Kong bride pool to take wedding photos.
At that time, everyone was young, a team of people and horses were huge, there was no room to change clothes in the wild, and female friends formed a circle and opened an umbrella to let Huang Ruli change clothes inside. After taking photos, we also organized a barbecue party and had a special time.
After marriage, Shi Xiu served as a host while filming, and participated in programs such as "Happy Tonight" and "Tomorrowland", and the audience was very popular.
At the age of 33, Shi Xiu, who was at the peak of his career, was seriously ill when filming "Yangmen Women", and he could not digest food at all, and his weight plummeted by 20 pounds. Fortunately, his wife did not abandon him, took good care of him, visited famous doctors for him, and later through the practice of Tai Chi Qigong, Shi Xiu slowly recovered his body.
In the 1980s, Shi Xiu became popular throughout Taiwan for filming "Absolute Double Glory", and when a Taiwanese television station approached him to shoot dramas in the past, Shi Xiu thought about it a bit, so he took his wife and son Chen Yuchen, who was still in kindergarten, to Taiwan to develop.
Filming always has to run outside, and time is tight. At the age of 41, In order to let his son have a better environment for growing up, Shi Xiu moved his family to Vancouver.
At that time, many people in Hong Kong emigrated abroad and were still collecting money in Hong Kong. Shi Xiu did not want his son to live in a "single-parent family", did not do two things, wrote an apology letter to Wireless, and put down the scene of confiscating the tail.
In Canada, Shi Xiu switched to the wooden window business. He personally visited the front line of the factory, learned from scratch, did it for more than ten years, developed quite well, and even achieved business in the mainland.
In the year of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, an old colleague invited Shi Xiu out of the mountain, and the itchy Shi Xiu joined ATV and returned to the TV circle to star in "Very Female Police". In 2000, Shi Xiu returned to his old club, Wireless, and took over the filming of the drama "Courage to Go Forward".
Over the years, Shi Xiu, who has never aged, has frequently contributed wonderful acting skills on the TV screen, although he is no longer the protagonist, Shi Xiu's style is still eye-catching among many young actors.
In the 2020 broadcast of "Anti-Black Road Man A", Shi Xiu and TVB actress Gao Haining, who is 38 years younger than herself, play a couple. The well-maintained Shi Xiu partner Xiaohua after 85 did not have the slightest sense of violation, and even had to dye his hair white in order to dress up.
Throughout Shi Xiu's 50 years of acting career, there have been no less than dozens of goddesses he has cooperated with, but none of them have reported gossip, how did he do it?
Shi Xiu said that during the filming process, he and his opponents spent more time together than their families, and it was inevitable that "feelings" would arise, and the audience also liked to see the actors' performances collide with sparks.
He also had a mental trance, but just thinking beyond the line, returning home to see his wife, or taking over a new drama, he would completely withdraw from the role and forget the romantic illusion generated in the play.
In addition, Shi Xiu will also introduce his partner in the film to his wife. Because Shi Xiu can calmly handle the love affair in the play, Huang Ruli has a lot of trust in him.
Another important point is that Shi Xiu handed over the economic power of the family to his wife. He bluntly said that he would not give flowers and small gifts, but the whole person was a wife and could be packaged as a gift for her.
The 73-year-old Shi Xiu, who has been with his wife Huang Ruli for 54 years, has experienced many choices and transformations in life and career, including physical illness and low income, but the husband and wife have never abandoned, even if they quarrel and cold war, they have never had two hearts for each other.
For the way husband and wife get along, Shi Xiu's experience is to be open and honest. If the couple disagrees, sit down and talk, and the family has a deal to discuss, they can avoid disputes and cold wars.
In the process of continuous running-in, the feelings of Shi Xiu and his wife were sublimated. The ancient Shi Xiu recalled the bits and pieces of his wife for half a century, and felt that there were too many things worth recalling.
Shi Xiu's sense of responsibility for his family stems from his own original family. Shi Xiu's parents divorced since childhood, living with his father, and when he grew up, he learned the inside story, and Shi Xiu realized the hurt his mother had suffered, so he made up his mind to protect his family well.
The old couple is still walking like young people and going to the restaurant for a date.
After the son got married, Shi Xiu and his wife treated the new daughter-in-law like a daughter, and the family of four often traveled together and lived a comfortable and happy life.
Over the years, Shi Xiu has maintained self-discipline, boiling soup without salt, not drinking sugary drinks, exercising for an hour a day, including walking, lifting dumbbells, doing 100 push-ups, and maintaining a waist circumference of 34 inches.
With the self-cultivation of actors, the considerate responsibility of being a husband, and the thoughtfulness of elders, Shi Xiu will do every role in life impeccable.
Career and family are not wrong, one life and one couple, such a stylish and attractive art predecessor, do you love?
