On April 27, the news of the death of veteran Hong Kong actor Zeng Jiang was unexpectedly reported, which caused many viewers to sigh.
Some people may not know the name Zeng Jiang, but audiences familiar with Hong Kong film and television works must have seen Zeng Jiang's performance. Zeng Jiang has played many wonderful supporting roles and is one of the supporting roles of Hong Kong gold medals.
Mainland audiences are most familiar with his role, presumably the role of Huang Yaoshi in the 83rd edition of "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter" (Huang Rihua and Weng Meiling's version), and many article titles commemorating him mention the Role of Huang Yaoshi.
However, some viewers remember the uncle jian he played in "The True Colors of Heroes", a kind character with a very hard mouth who selflessly helped the lead actor played by Dillon to overcome difficulties and return to society.
He is also the uncle of "Eavesdropping", a classic villain, and he also won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for this role.
There are rumors that Zeng Jiang thanked God for granting him health when he won the Academy Award, because he could not work without health, and hoped to continue to get the support of God and "continue to give me health".
In fact, Zeng Jiang first thanked the people who loved Hong Kong movies, thanked the working partners and friends who had cooperated in front of and behind the stage for many years, and finally pointed to the top of his head with his finger and said the words of thanks to God for health.
In Zeng Jiang's acceptance speech, there is love and respect for the tolerance, cooperation and writing of film and television peers, as well as gratitude for the cause and the good life, which makes people feel moved.
Zeng Jiang also made a cameo appearance in "Detective Chinatown 2" as Uncle Seven, I wonder if the younger audience ever remembered him?
In addition to the wonderful role, Zeng Jiang also left a lot of classic lines, such as the line "ICAC is not a paper tiger" in the movie "Chasing the Dragon", which is impressive.
After Zeng Jiang's death, netizens left messages to mention the role he played and the lines he said, expressing their nostalgia and condolences for this old drama bone.
Although Zeng Jiang has played many supporting roles, he has made his debut twice, in fact, he has played the male lead.
The first time was in 1955, when Zeng Jiang was 21 years old and played the male lead in the movie "Birds of The Same Age". However, at this time, Zeng Jiang had no intention of becoming an actor, and after filming, he went to the University of California, Berkeley in the United States to study architecture.
In 1964, Zeng Jiang returned to the film and television circle and officially debuted with the male protagonist of "The Great Circus".
Because of his good English, Zeng Jiang has been invited to participate in Hollywood movies many times, starring in "Rush Hour 2", "Memoirs of a Geisha" and 007 movies. Zeng Jiang's acting skills have been recognized at home and abroad.
However, Zeng Jiang is not completely uncontroversial. Just as the roles he plays often carry a domineering and domineering aura, it is said that Zeng Jiang also has a conceited personality in his life, and intentionally or unintentionally reveals it.

Niu Ben, a veteran actor who participated in the variety show "Grandpa Flowers" with Zeng Jiang, once commented on Zeng Jiang:
If you want to choose a spokesperson for "arrogance" among Hong Kong film and television stars, Zeng Jiang will definitely be the best candidate. In real life, Zeng Jiang has a somewhat self-righteous and good teacher personality.
And Xie Tingfeng's father, Xie Xian, is said to have slapped Zeng Jiang in public on a show. Although the others present stopped him in time, Zeng Jiang also escaped a slap, but he did not escape the later criticism.
But think about it, maybe everyone inevitably has their own small shortcomings. Perhaps it is this personality trait of Zeng Jiang that allows him to successfully create so many wonderful characters.
In any case, the old drama bone Zeng Jiang had already driven the crane west. We can only reminisce about this old drama bone that left us good memories in his film and television works.
