Irai, the name may not be familiar to us, but in the 70s and 80s in Hong Kong, it was a very popular comedian. Yi Lei is the son of the famous laughing artist Yi Qiushui, who has entered the industry as early as the Cantonese film period, but the star path is not smooth. It was not until the 1970s that he became popular as a small character such as Ah Fu and became a hot comedian, and he directed and acted in comedies such as "Valley Explosion" (1978) and "Shark Burning Sale" (1982). At the end of the 1980s, he gradually faded out of the film and television circle, turned into a business, and unfortunately died of coronary heart disease in 1999 at the age of 59.

Speaking of Jiang Hua, there have always been reports that Yi Lei is Jiang Hua's uncle, whether it is or not I don't know, only that the relationship between the two of them is very good, far more than the uncle and nephew, and even more than the father and son, probably because Jiang Hua's father died when he was 8 years old. With such a popular artist elder, Jiang Hua is no stranger to the show business circle. Before he was admitted to the ATV training class in 1986, Jiang Hua used his real name Chen Muhua to make a cameo appearance in the unit drama "Law Enforcers" in 1984, cooperating with Tao Dayu and Fan Shaohuang. In the early 80s, Jiang Hua and friends went to Kuala Lumpur to play, when visiting the local uncle Shi, met the "Cantonese prince" Zheng Jinchang, known as Chang Ge (Jiang Hua's uncle is still quite a lot, but also with the showbiz), Chang Ge felt that Jiang Hua's appearance was good, invited him to record a miscellaneous gold disc, Jiang Hua chose 2 songs "Old Dreams Don't Need to Remember" and "Big Coma", the effect is good, Chang Ge let him stay in Malaysia to develop, he did not agree, and then continued to travel, and there were star scouts to find up, shoot advertisements, Jiang Hua felt fun to go It turned out to be a sun oil advertisement, wearing only swimming trunks, but he also felt that it was nothing.
Speaking of Yilei and Jiang Hua, in 1986, Jiang Hua agreed to apply for the ATV actor training class in Yilei's repeated persuasion, only read for half a year, was pulled out as the male lead, and then took over the film under Yilei's introduction, that is, this "I Hope People Last", played the firefighter Zhang Jiahe, let Jiang Hua get the Academy Award for Best Newcomer Award, and began to start in the show business circle.
Probably because of Yi Lei's relationship, Jiang Hua is not unfamiliar with the show business circle, is not afraid, and does not necessarily have a huge attraction, so he carries a little arrogance on him, which is impossible for other newcomers, but it also seems very unique.
Jiang Hua and Yi Lei's relationship is also really good, when the Spring Festival of 1999 is coming, twenty-eight years old, Jiang Hua received a call from Ireto's friend to him, it turned out that he had a heart attack, has been admitted to the hospital in Shenzhen, when Jiang Hua took over the filming of "Green Blood Sword" and "Yang Guifei" at the same time, the scene is very heavy, very busy, but he immediately put down all things, asked the crew for leave, took his wife Mai Jiewen to Shenzhen, learned about Iré's condition and immediately arranged for a Hong Kong ambulance to take Iree back to Hong Kong and live in the Prince of Wales Hospital in Shatian. The doctor said that Yi Lei's heart has been 60%-70% out of function, immediately arranged to be admitted to the cardiology department of intensive care, Chinese New Year's Eve night, Yi Lei said that he wanted to drink watercress soup, Jiang Hua immediately let him call his sister to let the soup, after Yi Lei drank the soup, Jiang Hua asked him who he wanted to see? Eire said no, didn't want to socialize, just wanted to be clean.
Jiang Hua has always had an ominous premonition, so he also put the mobile phone at the head of the bed when he slept, but on the first day of the New Year, he woke up in the morning, found that the mobile phone was out of battery, immediately changed the battery, and received a call from the hospital, Andere's condition deteriorated at more than 9 o'clock, and he passed away at 10:55. Jiang Hua did not pay attention to any new head, immediately rushed to the hospital with Mai Jiewen, saw the last side of Yi Lei, Jiang Hua could not hold back tears, opened the white cloth, and then said to Yi Lei, you can go at ease. Then ask the paramedics to push Eire into the mortuary. Jiang Hua was the only one who knew about Yi Lei's condition, and all the hospitalization and treatment expenses of Yi Lei's later stay in Shenzhen Security Hospital for more than a month and later the Prince of Wales Hospital in Hong Kong were borne by him. Jiang Hua had asked Eré's family and did not want to deal with his aftermath, so he arranged for him to be cremated at the Sha Tin Crematorium at 10:45 a.m. on March 5, and placed in the Sha Tin Fu An Hall, and the ashes were finally transported back to Canada for burial.
