On April 22, according to the news released by the Shanghai Filmmakers Association and the Shanghai Film Group, the famous director Huang Shuqin died of illness in Shanghai at 19:48 on April 21, at the age of 83.
Directed by Huang Shuqin
Huang Shuqin is the daughter of drama masters Huang Zuolin and Danny, and is a representative of the fourth generation of Chinese film directors. The representative work "Man, Ghost, Love" is known as "China's first female film". Her films such as "Long Live Youth" and "Painting the Soul" are classics in the history of Chinese cinema. In addition, she also left three classic TV drama works: "Siege of the City", "Evil Debt" and "Laughing Karma". Huang Shuqin pays attention to the popularization of the film, expresses the joys and sorrows of mortals, and advocates small themes to express big feelings, thus resonating with the hearts of most audiences.
However, ordinary audiences are familiar with Huang Shuqin, perhaps because of TV dramas. The 1990 TV series Siege of the City, a TV series based on Qian Zhongshu's novel of the same name, is still considered a classic of contemporary Chinese television dramas many years later. Director Huang Shuqin's accurate grasp of the spiritual background of the siege, Chen Daoming, Yingda, Ge You and other actors' perfect interpretation of the embarrassing state of the characters, the humor, cleverness and sentimentality of Qian Zhongshu's text are completely transformed into living character group portraits. The following year, "Siege of the City" won the second prize and best director award of the 10th National Television Flying Award, the Golden Bear Award of the first International Television Festival, and the first prize of the National Film Studio Excellent Film and Television Film Competition.
I had Alzheimer's disease 5 years ago
On September 9, 2017, Huang Shuqin's work "Freehand Light and Shadow Weaving Mirror Huang Shuqin" was first released, and on September 8, the Huang Shuqin Art Exhibition was also opened at the same time, and the Shanghai Filmmakers Association organized a seminar to celebrate her birthday. At that time, Huang Shuqin's son also came to the scene to blow cakes instead of his sick mother.
According to media reports, Huang Shuqin was already suffering from Alzheimer's disease in September 2017 and was unable to come to the scene to participate in the event. At that time, Zhang Jianya, chairman of the Shanghai Filmmakers Association, could not help but sigh because of her illness. Xu Chunping, vice president of Shanghai Film Group at the time, also revealed the recent situation of Huang Shuqin at the event, she said, "Huang Shuqin has reached the realm of returning to the truth, maybe she does not remember, but everyone remembers her and remembers her works." ”
Alzheimer's disease was already signs 10 years in advance
In July 2020, a study published in the journal The Lancet Health and Longevity showed that high levels of "bad cholesterol" (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-C) levels in middle age were associated with an increased risk of developing dementia ten years later.
The study measured blood cholesterol in more than 1.8 million UK adults over the age of 40 between 1992 and 2009 for a follow-up period of up to 23 years. The results found that among people under the age of 65 who measured cholesterol, people with "bad cholesterol" levels above 190 mg/dL (4.92 mmol/L) had about a 60 percent higher risk of being diagnosed with dementia more than 10 years later compared to people with levels below 100 mg/dL (2.59 mmol/L). The study provides the strongest evidence to date on the relationship between blood cholesterol and dementia and Alzheimer's. ①
Moreover, the study also found that the higher the blood lipid level in middle age compared with high blood lipid levels in later life, the greater the risk of developing dementia.
So, people in their 30s should definitely have their cholesterol levels screened at least once!
To prevent Alzheimer's disease, do these 6 points after the age of 40!
In 2019, Lancet Global Health published a study of the external controllable factors that cause dementia in low- and middle-income countries, which proposed that nearly 40% of dementia in China can be avoided by avoiding 9 factors. ②
1. Insufficient education in childhood (not finishing primary school);
2. Hearing impairment;
3. Hypertension;
4. Obesity at the age of 45-54 (waist circumference more than 88 cm for women and more than 102 cm for men);
5. Depression;
6. Social isolation (social interaction in old age is less than once a month);
7. Insufficient physical exercise;
8. Diabetes;
9. Smoking in the elderly.
Niu Guowei, director of the Aerobic Exercise Center of Beijing Xiaotangshan Hospital, said in a health newspaper article in 2017 that 65 years old is a high incidence of Alzheimer's disease, and the incubation period of chronic diseases is often 10-20 years, so after the age of 40, we should start to pay attention to and prevent Alzheimer's disease. ③
1. Ensure that you are not obese at the age of 45-54
According to the mainland", the waist circumference recommended by the mainland "Adult Weight Determination" is best controlled below 85 cm for men and 80 cm for women. ④
2. In addition to blood lipids, blood pressure and blood sugar should also be up to standard
1) Blood pressure: The "China Guidelines for the Management of Blood Pressure in the Elderly 2019" states that the normal blood pressure level of the elderly is 90-140 mm Hg. Even without symptoms, people over the age of 35 should have their blood pressure measured at least once a year.
2) Blood glucose: the fasting blood glucose value is controlled at 3.89-6.1mmol/L; the blood glucose is ≤7.8mmol/L 2 hours after meals. People over 40 years of age and at high risk of diabetes should have their blood glucose tested on an empty stomach and after a meal once a year. ⑤
3. Protect your hearing in both ways
Fu Xinxing, an assistant researcher at the Beijing Institute of Otorhinolaryngology, said in a 2019 article in the Health Times that old age deafness can greatly affect the quality of life, resulting in inferiority, isolation and depression. In addition, multiple studies in recent years have shown that geriatric deafness may also increase the risk of cognitive decline, even alzheimer's disease. ⑥
1) Young and middle-aged people should use headphones reasonably;
2) If the elderly have hearing impairment, it is recommended to wear hearing aids in time.
4. Exercise at least 3 times a week
Yang Na, a geriatric psychology laboratory at Beijing Normal University, said in a 2017 article in the Health Times that the elderly who insisted on exercise had a lower risk of Alzheimer's disease than the elderly who did not adhere to exercise. Middle-aged and elderly people can:
1) Aerobic exercise, such as swimming, handball, tai chi, dancing, cycling, stretching movements, etc., each aerobic exercise is more than 20 minutes, 3 times a week is the most reasonable;
2) Open sports, such as playing table tennis, are more effective in interacting with the external environment. ⑦
5. Be sure to quit smoking immediately
Vascular dementia refers to cognitive impairment caused by cerebrovascular disease that affects the ability to perform daily life. Poor lifestyle habits such as long-term smoking, drinking, staying up late, etc. can increase the risk of encephalopathy such as stroke.
6. Participate in more social activities and learn more
The brain is used in and out, especially after retirement, you can take half an hour to 1 hour a day to read books and newspapers, and make appointments with old friends every week to play mahjong, poker, or chess. Social activities not only enable the elderly to receive stimulation and keep their minds active, but also give the elderly emotional comfort and social support, which helps to enhance the positive emotions of the elderly.
