People who are a little older will remember such a movie line vividly: "Comrades, farewell forever!" I miss you guys! ”
Whenever you see the words "The Eternal Airwaves", this famous line will subconsciously appear in the mind, making people feel an inexplicable feeling in their hearts.
The person who said this line in the movie is the famous film artist Sun Daolin, who plays Li Xia, the political commissar of the Radio Station of our army in the Yan'an Liberated Area who was ordered to lurk in Shanghai. This line is the last words left by Li Xia at the moment when he used the radio station to send out top-secret information and the enemy broke in.
Sun Daolin and other artists, with their superb acting skills and deep understanding of the character image, made this film bloom with a lasting artistic charm as soon as it came out, and even more so that the audience remembered the name: Li Xia!
"The Eternal Wave" has also won the supreme honor of a hundred high-quality films in a hundred years.
Sun Daolin, whose original name was Sun Yiliang, was born on December 18, 1921 to an intellectual family in Beijing, and attended Beijing Chongde Primary School as a child.
Because of family reasons, Sun Daolin has had a good talent in literature and art since he was a child, and at the age of 15, he published the short story "Mother and Son", which was published in the school magazine called "Dapeng", and was called a prodigy by teachers and classmates.
In 1938, Sun Daolin entered the Department of Philosophy of Yenching University. During his time at school, he wrote poems such as "The Premonition of the Wind", "Alone", "The Flock of Spring Geese", and "Light and Sword".
When he was still in Yenching University, he and Huang Zongjiang and other classmates formed the Yanjing Opera Club, and once participated in the performances of dramas such as "Outside the Window", "Thunderstorm" and "Life and Death Love", showing a good talent for performing arts.
In 1941, the Pacific War broke out, Yenching University was forced to close, and Sun Daolin also dropped out of school.
The war also had a great impact on Sun Daolin's family, and he could not read the books, but he still had to live.
In 1942, in order to make ends meet, the 21-year-old Sun Daolin built a sheep pen in a compound near the beiping intersection and raised sheep there. It was hard to find feed to feed the sheep every day, to squeeze the milk out on time, and then to send the goat's milk to the place of purchase, but it also made a temporary living.
The biggest gain of Sun Daolin in this matter is that he went from school to society, and truly understood the reality of this society and various characters at that time, which laid the foundation for his future artistic performances.
By 1943, the trajectory of Sun Daolin's life had changed.
Under the introduction of friends, Sun Daolin, who loves performing arts, has participated in the China TravelIng Theater Troupe, Shanghai Guohua Opera Society, Beijing Nanbei Opera Society and Beiping Art Museum and other performing groups, and constantly performed dramas in various places.
Through a period of performance, Sun Daolin's acting skills have been greatly improved, and in 1944, he served as an actor, choreographer and director of the Beijing Nanbei Opera Society and an actor of the Shanghai Guohua Opera Society.
During this period, Sun Daolin has always relied on participating in drama performances to maintain his life.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945, Sun Daolin returned to the reopened Yenching University to continue his studies. In 1947, Sun Daolin graduated from the Philosophy Department of Yenching University and immediately joined the Peking Art Museum.
In 1948, Sun Daolin joined the Shanghai Tsinghua Film Company as an actor. Here, Sun Daolin starred in the film "Reunion" created by Huang Zongjiang, in which he played a literary and artistic third, which was also the first film he participated in in his life.
Also participating in this drama were Wu Yin, Lan Ma and other famous actors at that time.
In 1949, Sun Daolin entered the Shanghai Film Studio and became a full-fledged actor.
In that year, Sun Daolin co-starred with Zhao Dan and Wu Yin in the movie "The Crow and the Sparrow", and Sun Daolin, who played Boss Xiao in the play, also won the first prize of the 1949-1955 Excellent Film Award of the Ministry of Culture of China with this drama.
In fact, the drama only won the second prize in the initial evaluation at that time, because some people believed that it was not filmed after the founding of New China. Later, when the prime minister and other leaders learned about it, they thought it was inappropriate, and the actors should be affirmed that they could make such a good film in such a difficult and dangerous environment. In this way, "The Crow and the Sparrow" was finally awarded the first prize, and Sun Daolin also became famous in one fell swoop.
In 1950 and 1951, Sun Daolin made two films, "Democratic Youth March" and "Female Driver". During this period, together with Iron Bull, Feng Zhe and other actors, he rushed to the front line of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea to perform literary and artistic programs for the soldiers who fought hard there and boost the morale of the soldiers.
1954 was one of the brightest moments in Sun Daolin's acting career. At that time, he co-starred with Li Lingjun in the war movie "Reconnaissance of Crossing the River", in which Sun Daolin played Li Chunlin, a brave and resourceful company commander of the special reconnaissance unit.
Sun Daolin's appearance is more elegant, most people think that he is more suitable for playing a scholar or businessman, and express doubts about Sun Daolin, who has never played a soldier, to play the role of Li Lianchang, and Sun Daolin himself has some lack of confidence.
However, at that time, the statement of the same crew believed that Sun Daolin could play this role well. He helped Sun Daolin draw an image of a company commander, and Sun Daolin pondered the picture every day, whether it was form or language expression, it slowly met the needs of the character.
And in order to better reflect the image of a soldier, Sun Daolin also practiced the right step at home, always demanding himself in the image of a real soldier.
Kung Fu pays off, Sun Daolin used his hard work and efforts to grasp the inner world and external image of Li Lianchang, and successfully interpreted the role of Li Lianchang with his superb acting skills.
Sure enough, once "Reconnaissance of Crossing the River" was broadcast, it was a huge success and gained wave after wave of fans.
"Reconnaissance of Crossing the River" has also become Sun Daolin's famous work, and this film has won the first prize for excellent films issued by the Ministry of Culture.
Sun Daolin also successfully transformed the play, changing the audience's impression that he could only play an intellectual, and his acting skills were getting better and better, and the drama path was getting wider and wider.
Since then, Sun Daolin has successively starred in many roles, such as co-starring in the drama movie "South Island Storm" with Shangguan Yunzhu and others, co-starring in the drama movie "Home" with Wang Danfeng and Zhang Ruifang, co-starring in the feature film "Spring Is Coming" with Li Paul, co-starring in the feature film "The City That Never Sleeps" with Li Lingjun and Liu Fei, and co-starring in the drama movie "Red Seed" with Qin Yi.
In these films, no matter what type of role, Sun Daolin is well performed, showing the style of a good artist.
In 1958, Sun Daolin starred with Yuan Xia in the feature film "The Eternal Electric Wave", which became another peak of Sun Daolin's acting career.
In this movie, Sun Daolin plays Li Xia, a telegraph expert of the Eighth Route Army, who said, "Comrades, farewell forever, I miss you!" It became the most popular movie line at the time.
In this movie, the degree of professionalism of Sun Daolin when he telegraphed, people think that he is an old qualified intelligence officer, but in fact, when filming "The Eternal Wave", Sun Daolin did not send a telegram, and it took a month to learn the skills of telegraphy.
The reason why he worked so hard, instead of posing, was so that when shooting, he could show close-ups of his hands, so that he could show the character image of the underground worker.
In order to more realistically shoot the scene of being tortured by the enemy to confess, Sun Daolin personally experienced it, without doubles or posing. It is said that when he experienced the torture of the tiger stool, the third brick had been added, and Sun Daolin was already sweating in pain and almost fainted. Or the director Wang Ping found that it was not right, hurriedly stopped, and Sun Daolin only eased up for half a day.
The reason why the character image of Li Xia can penetrate the hearts of the people is that in addition to the script and director, it is inseparable from Sun Daolin's wholehearted devotion.
Therefore, the success of that generation of old artists was at a considerable cost, both physically and mentally.
After this movie, Sun Daolin also participated in films such as "Ten Thousand Purples and Thousands of Reds Are Always Spring", "Revolutionary Family", "No. 51 Soldier Station" and "Early Spring in February".
These films were all influential masterpieces at that time.
After the reform and opening up, Sun Daolin, who re-emerged from the mountains, played the famous scientist Li Siguang in the movie "Li Siguang", and people found out from the movie that the elegant Sun Daolin had been left with a strong mark by the years.
Since then, Sun Daolin has played the famous Go player Yishan, who is known as the "King of Jiangnan Chess", in his own adaptation of the movie "Thunderstorm", as the capitalist Zhou Puyuan, and in the self-directed and self-starring drama movie "Very Big President".
After the wear and tear of the years, Sun Daolin's acting skills have not fallen, but have become more and more pure.
Sun Daolin not only performed well in the movie, but also in terms of dubbing. In 1958, Sun Daolin voiced Prince Hamlet in "The Prince's Revenge", which is really an insurmountable classic.
Sun Daolin's voice for Hamlet is not only full of elegance and nobility, but also does not have the slightest vulgarity.
In tone, he grasped the ups and downs of various emotions in the slightest, showing amazing rhythm and emotional control, which at that time was unmatched.
Sun Daolin's artistic achievements are remarkable, and these achievements have also made him one of the top 22 film stars, and he has also won the 100 Outstanding Actor Awards of Chinese Cinema in the Past Century.
In addition to the success and glory of his acting career, Sun Daolin's family life is also enviable.
In fact, Sun Daolin got married very late, almost to the age of 40, before finding the other half of her life, she is the famous Yue opera actress Wang Wenjuan.
Because he was too intoxicated with his career, Sun Daolin had no time to take care of his personal life's affairs, even if there were many girls who adored him at that time, they could not make him move.
Time suddenly, in the blink of an eye to 1958, this time Sun Daolin felt that he had reached middle age and had to consider personal events.
But Sun Daolin had never been in love with a girl before, and his experience over the years had made him not know how to find a suitable partner.
There was no way, Sun Daolin had to find his old friend Huang Zongjiang and ask him to help find a suitable object for himself.
Good thing, Huang Zongjiang of course is willing to help, when he learned that Sun Daolin liked the singer Zhou Xiaoyan's type of woman, Huang Zongjiang and Huang Zongying brothers and sisters found Zhou Xiaoyan, because Zhou Xiaoyan had already married Bai Yang's ex-husband Zhang Junxiang, and Huang Zongjiang hoped that Zhou Xiaoyan would introduce his sister to Sun Daolin.
But when we met, we learned that Zhou Xiaoyan's two younger sisters were also married.
Later, Huang Zongjiang struggled a lot, but still did not find someone suitable for Sun Daolin.
Huang Zongjiang is the artistic director of the Yue Opera Troupe, just when he was worried, he suddenly remembered that Wang Wenjuan of the Yue Opera Troupe was still a single girl who had not fallen in love, not only was she beautiful, but also sang well.
Feeling more appropriate, he consulted with his sister Huang Zongying and introduced her to Sun Daolin.
To say that Huang Zongjiang and Zhang Ruifang's vision is really good, Sun Daolin and Wang Wenjuan originally knew each other, and when they met, they had a good feeling for each other. Coupled with the two people's common love and pursuit of art, these two people who have never been in love suddenly have a feeling of finding an organization.
The common pursuit has made the two people's topics more and more, and their feelings have become deeper and deeper, and it can be said that they have developed to the extent that they can marry men and women.
But what makes Huang Zongjiang and Zhang Ruifang anxious is that these two parties have not shown signs of getting married, they are really in a hurry, but there is no way, and they can't urge others to get married.
Later, I learned that there was something wrong with Sun Daolin, who was worried that getting married would affect Wang Wenjuan's future.
Once, Zhang Ruifang went to Beijing for a meeting, met Sister Deng, and mentioned the marriage between Sun Daolin and Wang Wenjuan, and Sister Deng passed this on to the premier.
After the premier knew about it, he specially instructed Zhang Ruifang: "In order to have a lover and eventually become a family member, you must do more work." ”
Sister Deng also instructed Zhang Ruifang: "Tell Wen Juan that Sun Daolin's situation is organizationally understood, so that he can rest assured." ”
In this way, Sun Daolincai and Wang Wenjuan had a lover who eventually became a family member, and finally registered their marriage on July 2, 1962, and smoothly entered the palace of marriage.
In 1964, they had the crystallization of their own love, and a daughter was born. Since China had just exploded its first atomic bomb that year, as a memorial, they named their daughter Sun Qingyuan, a name with a strong mark of the times.
The life of Sun Daolin and Wang Wenjuan can be said to be a model of mutual affection, caring for each other in life, supporting each other in their careers, singing with their husbands, singing with their husbands, singing with their husbands, qinser and ming.
Along the way, they have withstood the test of various hardships and hardships, walked hand in hand, walked through 45 years of ups and downs together, and composed a beautiful love song.
In his later years, Sun Daolin was tormented by illness, and even at the age of 84, he was admitted to the hospital for shingles and lost almost all his memories. When he was slightly awake, Sun Daolin sadly told the reporter interviewing: "I have forgotten all, the well-known Sun Daolin is gone."
Sun Daolin's words made the people present can't help but burst into tears.
On December 28, 2007, Sun Daolin, a generation of veteran artists, died of a sudden heart attack at the age of 86 in Huadong Hospital in Shanghai.
On August 6, 2021, Sun Daolin's wife, Wang Wenjuan, died of illness at the age of 95.
Although Sun Daolin has been away from this world for more than ten years, the classic film art works he left behind are still the "Eternal Waves" of this era!
