At a press conference in 2015, in front of many media, Xie Xian loudly insulted Zeng Jiang.
It is said that when recording the program, Zeng Jiang pretended to be ill and sat in a wheelchair, dragging everyone down.
As he spoke, Xie Xian suddenly got up and gave 81-year-old Zeng Jiang a loud slap!
Even Hu Feng, who was persuading in the middle, had his glasses flying for Xie Xian!
After being slapped, Zeng Jiang was not angry, and advised Xie Xian not to be impulsive and to have something to say.
After being beaten, Zeng Jiang also openly defended Xie Xian, saying that everything was arranged by the program group and had a script.
Zeng Jianghe said to reporters:
"Everyone is a very good friend, I think Xie Xian has a very good morality of doing his own business, we acted very well at that time,
Everyone thought we had a conflict, Xie Xian never talked about it, he didn't explain, but he was very wronged, and others kept scolding him. ”
But Xie Xian did not appreciate it, admitted the fact that he deliberately hit people, and said in the interview program:
"That's true, a lot of people think it's fake, think it's propaganda, I stopped playing with Zeng Jiang many years ago."
Xie Xian's aggressiveness made many melon-eating masses feel very angry.
Xie Xian was also pushed to the cusp of public opinion.
There are even rumors that Nicholas Tse apologized for slapping Zeng Jiang and personally washed the other party's feet.
Until March 28, 2021, When Zeng Jiang was seriously ill and hospitalized, Xie Xian took the initiative to bow his head.
For what happened before, bow to him and apologize,
In the face of Xie Xian's apology, Zeng Jiang seemed very tolerant,
In the ward, there were also a lot of jokes, which enlivened the atmosphere of the scene.
In this way, the pair of friends who have been friends for many years finally released their previous suspicions.
But what people did not expect was that just a year after the reconciliation of the two,
Zeng Jiang died, and the cause of death is a mystery.
On April 27, 2022, Tsang Jiang stayed in isolation at a hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui.
On that day, the family could not get through to his phone, so they asked the hotel staff to check it out.
The staff went to the door of the room where Zeng Jiang lived, knocked on the door for half a day, but no one responded.
After breaking through the door, Zeng Jiang was found unconscious.
By the time police and ambulance crews arrived at the scene, Zeng Jiang had died on the spot.
As for the cause of the death, it is still under investigation.
On the afternoon of Zeng Jiang's accident, not long after the police arrived,
Some staff dragged his body to the morgue, moving quite quickly.
Because the news of his death was so sudden, some friends in the circle couldn't even believe it.
It is said that Zengjiang had gout and high blood pressure, and when he was isolated at the hotel,
Zeng Jiang and his daughter said chest pain.
Soon after, the son-in-law delivered the medicine to the hotel, and the hotel staff also revealed,
The drug was indeed delivered to Zeng Jiang's hands, but for some reason, Zeng Jiang still passed away.
Zeng Jiang's daughter Zeng Huixue had just begun to hear the news of her father's death,
Frightened, he slumped down on the couch and said to the reporter:
"I can't believe it, it's so sudden, why is he walking so fast, although he is more than eighty years old, but he is energetic, still very healthy, his mind is very clear, even when he walks, his waist is very straight, how can he say that he will go?"
What did Zeng Jiang experience before he died? What happened in the middle?
In 1934, Zeng Jiang was born in Shanghai to a wealthy family.
Zeng Jiang's grandfather was the first generation of foreign-educated students at the end of the Qing Dynasty.
The people of the family also flow with the genes of the school bully.
Tsang Giang's father, a Vietnamese overseas Chinese businessman, made his fortune selling aquatic products, and his business reached Hong Kong.
Zeng Jiang has two younger sisters, one is the actor Lin Cui (stage name) and the other is the ex-wife of "one-armed knife" Wang Yu.
In 1949, the Zeng Jiang family moved to Hong Kong to settle down.
Zeng Jiang has been a bully since he was a child, and he studied at the famous Hong Kong school "HuaRen College".
After graduating from Huaren College, Zeng Jiang went to the United States to attend high school because his grades were very good.
Many universities want to admit him, including MIT, Harvard, etc.
However, because Zeng Jiang was afraid of the cold, he finally chose the University of California, Berkeley on the west coast of the United States to study architecture.
During Zeng Jiang's study abroad, his sister Zeng Yi (stage name: Lin Cui) entered the show business circle.
In 1955, Zeng Jiang returned to Hong Kong during the holidays.
Often act as a "flower protector", to the crew to pick up her sister from work,
Sometimes off the set, waiting for hours,
Zeng Jiang often observes those actors filming, and comes and goes with interest.
Once because he was fascinated by it, Zeng Jiang also tried to perform outside the set, but he did not expect to be appreciated by director Tao Qin.
Tao Qin saw that he was tall and tall, and invited him to make a movie.
Zeng Jiang did not hesitate: "Shoot it, be afraid of anything." ”
In this way, Zeng Jiang entered the show business circle.
That year, Zeng Jiang first starred in the movie "Birds of the Same Age", and the first play played the male lead.
Soon after, he participated in "That Not Sentimental", which became a hit.
Unexpectedly, after the fire, Zeng Jiang and his friends said:
"My acting skills are too poor, like a wooden man, not the material to eat this bowl of rice, I can't even laugh, I walk in a figure-of-eight shape, what drama do I still play?"
Zeng Jiang thought it would be difficult for him to survive in the Hong Kong entertainment industry and had the idea of retiring from the circle.
At this time, Zeng Jiang's sister Lin Cui was already red and purple in the Hong Kong showbiz circle.
Zeng Jiang did not have the slightest nostalgia, and after the holiday, he completely gave up his acting career and continued to study in the United States.
During his study in the United States, Zeng Jiang's achievements are still among the best.
And he taught himself French, painting,
In the first semester, Zeng Jiang was admitted to the first place in the grade and received a scholarship.
After graduation, Zeng Jiang returned to Hong Kong and became an architectural surveyor.
At that time, Zeng Jiang was tall and handsome, and he was a bully and rich second generation who had drunk foreign ink.
It's almost like the male protagonist of a novel.
But despite the high income, Zeng Jiang was very dissatisfied with the job.
Zeng Jiang's design has not been recognized by others,
Because in the 1960s, Hong Kong had a total land area of less than 1,000 square kilometers, but the population reached 4 million.
Land is extremely scarce, which means that the design of buildings needs to maximize the use of space.
So some designers designed the tenement building.
This kind of house space is small, and does not need any design concept, just need to simply apply the template,
However, the design concept of Zeng Jiang studying abroad is to pursue comfort and beauty.
In the three years he has been an architect, Zeng Jiang has done the same work.
Although one of the most lucrative jobs in Hong Kong at the time was as an architect, Zeng Hong resigned.
At the invitation of friends, the 30-year-old Zeng Jiang returned to the show business circle, and the first play only played a supporting role.
I didn't expect to be popular again, because of the superb acting skills, the limelight even overshadowed the protagonist.
When Zeng Jiang was filming, whether it was for himself or others, the requirements were almost harsh.
Before filming, Zeng Jiang would read the script carefully,
Search a lot of material about the character and try to make your acting more realistic.
Zeng Jiang also said in the interview that when the crew was filming,
Because he is too pursuit of perfection, many actors are afraid to play with him.
Because of work things, offended a lot of people.
But although Zeng Jiang is very famous, he never put up any shelf,
From beginning to end, he regarded acting as a very ordinary job.
Zeng Jiang has also said many times that he will not care about one more award and one less award.
When Zeng Jiang was filming, he was not accustomed to some unprofessional and unprofessional actors, and sometimes even broke his mouth and scolded.
Therefore, in the show business circle, Zeng Jiang, who is too pursuit of perfection,
Often seem so out of place and not easy to get along with.
Zeng Jiang has played hundreds of roles, from supporting roles to protagonists, almost no one refuses,
Accumulated a lot of acting experience, and finally accumulated thick hair, there was a "yellow medicine man" popularity.
In 1983, Zeng Jiang starred in "The Legend of the Archery Hero", playing the role of "Yellow Medicine Master" in it.
Because of his superb acting skills, with the release of the TV series, Zeng Jiang's fire spread all over the two sides of the strait and three places.
Subsequently, Zeng Jiang broke into Hollywood again and became the first Hong Kong actor to join the Screen Actors Guild of America.
He has starred in such excellent works as "Memoirs of a Geisha", "Tokyo Trial", and "Rush Hour II".
Although his career was relatively smooth, Zeng Jiang encountered many setbacks in his feelings.
Zeng Jiang is not an amorous person, but he has experienced three marriages.
And the woman in every marriage has a high opinion of him.
In 1974, when Zeng Jiang starred in "The Great Circus",
And the Malaysian actress Lan Di of the crew had a love affair because of the play, and before the scene was finished, the two talked about love.
At that time, Lan Di was a popular actress in the Hong Kong performing arts industry, and countless rich children had pursued her.
But this great beauty, just liked Zeng Jiang,
Not long after the two fell in love, they entered the palace of marriage,
Shortly after the marriage, Lan Di bore Zeng Jiang a son.
Lan Di then completely withdrew from the show business and gave up her good acting career.
Concentrate on staying at home with your husband and godson.
When the child reaches the age of school, the relationship between the two has cracked,
As a housewife, Lan Di lived a very empty life,
Because she was really bored, Lan Di would often call her girlfriends to the house and play mahjong together.
However, Zeng Jiang felt that playing mahjong would affect the child's learning, and did not allow Lan Di to play mahjong.
The couple had a fierce quarrel many times because of this matter,
Lan Di's girlfriends, also because of Zeng Jiang's obstruction, rarely went to their homes again.
The good friends around him and the relationship with Lan Di gradually became estranged.
Finally, in the 10th year after marriage, Lan Di filed for divorce and took her son abroad to live alone.
After the divorce, Lan Di was depressed for a long time, and refused to remarry, and eventually died of depression.
Because of this, the relationship between Zeng Jiang and his son is not good, not even close friends,
Zeng Jiang said in a program that he has a son as well as no son.
In the second year of Zeng Jiang and Lan Di's divorce, they met the rich woman Deng Gongbi.
Deng Gongbi is not only a model, but also a beautiful writer, and has also worked as a DJ in nightclubs for a while.
The most important thing is that Deng Gongbi is still a proper Bai Fumei,
After inheriting the family property, there are several buildings in Hong Kong, and the money for rent alone cannot be spent in a lifetime.
Zeng Jiang has a low-key personality, but Deng Gongbi is very high-profile in his work.
She once said in an interview that she has never looked up to the little remuneration earned by Zeng Jiang's filming.
Because he only collected a month's rent, Zeng Jiang could not earn a year's filming.
The difference between Zeng Jiang and Deng Gongbi's personality is too large, which means that it is difficult for the two to get together.
The marriage of Zeng Jiang and Deng Gongbi also lasted only ten years.
During this period, Deng Gongbi also gave birth to a daughter, Zeng Muxue, to Zeng Jiang.
After the divorce, the daughter gave Deng Gongbi to raise.
In 1994, Zeng Jiang and mainland actor Jiao Jiao held a grand wedding in Singapore.
Zeng Jiang ushered in his third spring.
Jiao Jiao was born in Chongqing, in 1949, and his parents settled in Taiwan.
After growing up, he entered the show business circle, and at the age of 20, he married the actor Huang Zongxun, who was 23 years older than himself.
In the third year after marriage, Huang Zongxun suffered a car accident in Hong Kong and was seriously injured and hospitalized.
Jiao Jiao, who was in Taiwan, rushed to Hong Kong to take care of her husband in a hospital bed, but what people did not expect was that
Under the care of his wife, Huang Zongxun recovered his health,
Soon after, he was again in a car accident and passed away.
After dealing with the aftermath of her deceased husband, Jiao Jiao was invited,
Joined Shaw Film Company, in order to take care of the family, Jiao Jiao shifted the focus of her work to behind-the-scenes dubbing work.
Until he met Zeng Jiang, who had experienced two failed marriages at that time, he also needed the comfort of others.
Once Zeng Jiang drove a motorcycle and sent Jiao Jiao by the way,
Unexpectedly, Jiao Jiao shouted loudly, and Zeng Jiang knew it after he understood,
It turned out that Huang Zongxun was riding a motorcycle and suffered a car accident.
The two of them hugged each other together for warmth and wiped out the love fire.
Zeng Jiang and Jiao Jiao have been married for 28 years and have not had children, but their feelings are very good.
Zeng Jiang is very domineering in film and television dramas, but he left his only tenderness to his beloved wife Jiaojiao.
As long as there is activity, Zeng Jiang will generally bring his wife.
In 2011, the 76-year-old Zeng Jiang starred in "Eavesdropping III" and won the Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
In 2021, the 86-year-old Zeng Jiang is still active in the show business circle, and in order to present better results to the audience,
Repeatedly refusing to use a stand-in, he dragged his elderly body and filmed a scene of falling from a hospital bed to the ground.
At that time, when he was filming, the staff next to him were worried about him.
But Zeng Jiang felt that this was not worthy of praise, and said to others: "This is nothing at all, artists should be like this." ”
In fact, in his later years, Zeng Jiang's right ear was close to deafness,
Basically can not hear any sound, need to use hearing aids,
And suffered from gout for decades, often walking with a limp, often requiring a wheelchair,
Because of this, in 2015, Xie Xian suspected that Zeng Jiang deliberately pretended to be ill.
But even so, Zeng Jiang never thought about retirement,
As long as there is physical strength, it will continue to act,
From the last images he left to the world half a month before his death,
I couldn't see any decadence or fatigue in him.
Zeng Jiang said in an interview that he likes acting, even if he is more than a hundred years old.
I also hope that I can still act, but the world is uncertain, and Zeng Jiang has not been able to realize this wish after all.
A few days before his death, Zeng Jiang went to Singapore and Malaysia alone for a vacation.
He returned to Hong Kong on April 25 and stayed in quarantine at the Kowloon Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui.
In the hotel, when the nucleic acid was first done, Zeng Jiang showed a negative.
Zeng Jiang and the daughter of his second wife- Zeng Huixue recalls,
On the night of April 26, her father called her and said that she had chest pain.
I was hungry and wanted something to eat.
Soon after, the son-in-law rushed to Zeng Jiang and Jiao Jiao's residence to get medicine and buy some food.
They were sent to the hotel's reception desk and sent to Zeng Jiang's room by the hotel staff.
On the morning of April 27, Zeng Muxue called Zeng Jiang many times, but he always showed that no one answered.
Worried that something was wrong with his father, he asked the hotel staff to go up and knock on the door.
But after knocking for 15 minutes, there was still no response, and Zeng Muxue asked the hotel staff to open the door with a backup key.
However, the staff of the hotel refused to open the door considering the requirements of epidemic prevention.
If you want to open the door, you have to ask Zeng Jiang's family to call the hotline of the Department of Health.
After the other side agreed, it was possible to use the backup key to open the door.
Zeng Muxue was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and in desperation, after several twists and turns, he contacted the department of health.
There was a delay of more than three hours in the middle.
Finally, the staff of the Department of Health called the police, and the ambulance personnel and police arrived at the scene and opened the door.
Zeng Jiang was found collapsed in his bedroom.
The police told Zeng Muxue that when they arrived, Zeng Jiang was already dead.
As for the real cause of Zeng Jiang's death, according to the police, it is still necessary to wait for the autopsy report of the body.
And whether the body can be dissected, the key is to see whether the family agrees.
After the incident, Zeng Muxue said that he would not blame anyone,
It's already happened, and there's no point in pursuing it.
Zeng Muxue and reporters said:
"Whether it is the Department of Health or the police, they have done their best, I don't want to blame either side, my father left without illness and pain, he was already very lucky, I hope everyone will not be too sad, enjoy life well, this is also what my father hopes."
Zeng Muxue also revealed in the interview that he would live a good life in the future, and he would also help take care of Zeng Jiang's third wife, Jiao Jiao.
Zeng Muxue said:
"Father is a carefree person, very calm about death, very afraid of illness, before leaving can be disease-free and painless,
Can eat and sleep, but also can go to travel, the blind date father has no regrets, friends who care about him can rest assured. ”
Zeng Muxue said that in his eyes, his father would never put his time and energy on something he didn't like.
Do everything with an attitude of enjoyment.
Zeng Jiang has been in the entertainment industry for decades, and his life has been frozen at the age of 87.
Tragically died in the isolated hotel, and on the day he left, he didn't even have a loved one around.
A brilliant life, but it ended in such a way, it is inevitable to sigh.
Zeng Jiang finally left his domineering spirit in the movie forever, and there was no longer a "yellow medicine man" in the world.
Shortly after Zeng Jiang's death, Wu Yanzu, Jackie Chan, and Zhao Wenzhuo all wrote articles expressing their grief.
Jackie Chan said:
"In my career, there are many people I admire, and my predecessors are one of them."
Among them, the hardest hit is Zeng Jiang's wife Jiao Jiao, an elderly widow, whose injuries can be imagined.
For Jiao Jiao, in the future life, there is no zengjiang company, and there is no fun and dependence.
Life is not satisfactory nine times out of ten, accidents are everywhere,
To live a full life is to be worthy of a limited life.
Life may be a practice, or illness, or health, or wealth, or poverty.
A happy couple, if one party takes the first step, what remains is the painful party.
Finally, I can only wish that heaven would be free of sickness.
