【18-year-old participated in the Battle of Huaihai】
On May 4, 1929, in Dongkan Town, Fudong County, Jiangsu Province, when Pang Xueqin's family was busy wrapping rice dumplings, he "croaked" and fell to the ground.
His family was not wealthy, his father had opened a teahouse and a small inn, and as a child, he only attended private school for 5 years.
Pang Xueqin was blessed with the fact that he was influenced by revolutionary literature and art at a very young age. After the Anhui Incident, the military headquarters of the New Fourth Army was stationed in his hometown of Dongkan.
At that time, the revolutionary literary and artistic activities in the liberated areas of northern Jiangsu were quite active, and there were troupes of troops performing in the four townships.

Teenager Pang Xueqin went to see the wild stage drama every night, simply fascinated, some plays are not addictive, but also watch two and three times... He also often went to the Rongqiao and Tou Ferry ports far from home to see the play, and when the play was over, when he rushed home, it was already bright.
While watching the play, he recited the lines, and the plays he watched at night could be memorized one by one during the day.
Slowly, many brands of Huai opera, such as spring tone, sad tone, small borrowing year, Su Wu shepherd tune, etc., he would sing.
Pang Xueqin was photographed in 1950
Pang Xueqin's elder brother Pang Xueyuan is the mayor of Dongkan Town, and in order to cooperate with the propaganda of the revolutionary struggle, his brother also set up an amateur theater troupe in the town, and he wrote, directed, and performed many plays by himself, which also had a profound impact on Pang Xueqin, and added to the young Pang Xueqin's curiosity about drama and his yearning for engaging in theater activities.
In 1944, the 15-year-old Pang Xueqin's wish came true, and he joined the Fudong County Literary troupe and finally became an actor.
The young Pang Xueqin has a pair of clever big eyes, he has a good memory, strong imitation, and has a convincing organizational ability.

The following year, he was elected as the deputy head of the Dongkan Youth Workers Troupe.
In this troupe, he was both an actor in the troupe and a member of the armed workers' team, and often accompanied the armed workers' team, braving the painted night, quietly touching into the enemy-occupied areas to write slogans and shouts, and carry out activities to disintegrate the enemy; He also rowed small boats, ran through the rain of bullets and bullets, and delivered military food to the lianghuai front line.
In 1947, Pang Xueqin joined the cultural and industrial troupe of the Northern Jiangsu Military Region of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, when he was only 18 years old. He went south with his troops and participated in the Battle of Huaihai, which shocked China and foreign countries.

In 1948, he joined the Communist Party of China in the smoke and gunfire of the Revolutionary War.
【First on the screen to get the guidance of a good teacher】
Pang Xueqin first watched a movie in 1949, when he drove into Bengbu with the troops and watched a film called "Cruel Winter" (1949) in a movie theater called "Victoria".
And he really ended his theater career and stepped into the film world in 1951.
After the liberation of the whole country, the party organization recommended him to study in the acting class of the Beijing Film Academy.

There he systematically studied Stanislavsky's system of performance.
After graduating from film school, he was assigned to the Beijing Film Actors Troupe.
In 1956, he came to Changchun Film Studio to work in the actors troupe. That's 30 years.
In 1957, in Lin Nong's (1918-2002) film Bianzhai Beacon, he played an instructor of the People's Liberation Army, his first role on the screen.
Pang Xueqin's image in the film Bianzhai Beacon (1957).
The emergence of any excellent actor is inseparable from the guidance of good teachers and friends.
When Pang Xueqin first saw the sample of "Bianzhai Beacon" at the Cuihu Hotel in Yunnan, he felt that his appearance was simply terrible, and he was disheartened, and even had to retreat.
Director Lin Nong kindly told him, what is the beauty that a film actor wants to pursue? The road to success under Pang Xueqin's feet was paved with his hard work and hard work.
Images of Pang Xueqin and Daqi in the film Bianzhai Beacon (1957).
Director Lin Nong found that kind of tenacious and hard work in Pang Xueqin, which allowed him to play the role of instructor in the film.
The character of the instructor in the film smokes. At that time, Pang Xueqin did not smoke at all.
During the audition, in order to adapt to the needs of the character, he practiced smoking over and over again, sucking until he vomited.

It is from here that director Lin Nong saw the young actor's bright future and brilliant hope.
【"Character Notes" to carry with you】
Pang Xueqin is a person who forgets himself for the sake of his role.
He believes that the ability of film actors is not only to be able to cry and laugh, but more importantly, to think about and deal with how to do the role.
Pang Xueqin's image in the film Bianzhai Beacon (1957).
Whenever he accepts the task of playing a role, he always can't sleep, he can't eat, "his brain is running like a wild horse", and a series of desk work follows: turning over books, reading materials, searching all the "files" in life, recalling and evoking the same kind of characters in memory, so that the characters are "possessed".
Since filming the first play "Border Village Beacon", Pang Xueqin has developed the habit of keeping "character notes".
Pang Xueqin's image in the film "The Storm of The First Afternoon" (1962).
Every time he participated in the filming of a film, every time he created a character, he wrote down a thick book.
It is written down on his own ideas for each scene, and some of them are also marked with "color maps" of feelings.
When playing Li Zhongmin in "Soldiers Near the City", he clearly marked a banquet, focusing on Li Zhongmin's ability to cope with and maneuver with the enemy, and he had to act neatly.
Pang Xueqin's image in the film Soldiers Coming to the City (1964).
The explosion of the dam reflects Li Zhongmin's opportunistic actions, the transformation of dangers into disasters, the need to stand out from the flock, and the performance of his eloquence in tongue-and-war.
When it comes to playing billiards, it is intended to provoke the relationship between Zhao Chongwu and Chiang Kai-shek, and to play a role in the word "temptation"; And to persuade Zhao Chongwu was to impress his heart, so he had to observe both his words and the colors, and he also had to be earnest and sincere.
Pang Xueqin's image in the film Soldiers Coming to the City (1964).
He once said with feeling: "No one thinks so specifically about the role he plays like an actor, even three generations of his ancestors." ”
Pang Xueqin thought deeply about each of the roles he played, thinking so meticulously, including what kind of clothes "he" wore, how to walk, gestures and movements when speaking.
Pang Xueqin's image in the film Ancient Temple Bells (1958).
Pang Xueqin said with deep feelings: "Although I wrote 'character notes' as soon as I appeared on the screen, I was not comfortable until the time of "Ancient Temple Bells", and I failed to realize my own ideas as I wished, and after "Youth in the Fire", the ideas were realized more and more, and the regrets were less and less. ”
The characters he plays never rely on live improvisations, but on the full preparation of the desk.
Pang Xueqin's image in the film Independence Brigade (1964).
He said: "It's not okay not to give me time to prepare, it's not okay not to do skits and no rehearsals, it's not okay to have no basis for life." ”
In order to create the image of Lei Zhenlin, he not only recalled the image of the grass-roots cadres of those companies that he was familiar with, but also carefully read many novels describing combat life, such as "Defending Yan'an", "The Iron Wall of the Copper Wall", and Lu Zhuguo's original work "Stepping on the Waves of the East China Sea".
Pang Xueqin's image in the film Youth in the Fire of War (1959).
In addition, he also went through the photo albums, pictorials and other relevant materials of combat heroes, and also observed a number of films showing war themes, such as "Dong Cunrui" (1955) and "Shangganling" (1956).
Playing the principal Lin Zhengshi in "Chaoxia", in order to familiarize himself with life, he visited and visited Siping Andanmen Primary School; When playing Tian Hong, the party secretary in "The Fire is Red", he went to Wuhan Iron and Steel and Angang to live and work with the party secretary of the construction site.

Every scene of every role he played, before the official shooting, almost all of his own sketches.
【Being the male number one in two crews at the same time】
When the filming of "Ancient Temple Bells" was just nearing the end, director Wang Yan (1923-2005) found Pang Xueqin, handed him the script of "Youth in the Fire", asked him which role he liked in the play, Pang Xueqin knew his intentions, and said to himself: "I like the company commander." ”
Pang Xueqin's image in the film Youth in the Fire of War (1959).
Wang Yan was surprised, "You don't like Lei Zhenlin?" "Of course I like it." "How about you play him?" Pang Xueqin was both excited and surprised, and asked, "I, can I do it?" "Yes!"
In this way, the director made a decision to set Pang Xueqin. Speaking of that year, Pang Xueqin was not without emotion.
Images of Pang Xueqin and Wang Suya in the film Youth in the Fire of War (1959).
When playing Lei Zhenlin in "Youth in The Fire", he asked to cut off his beautiful hair and shave his head: the clothes should not only be old, but also patched; Pedal a pair of "silly shoes" on your feet, open your clothes, and paint your face with a little black color.
He felt that only in this way could he conform to the character of Lei Zhenlin, reflect the breath of life in the war years he had experienced, and constitute his personality conflict with Gao Gao.
Images of Pang Xueqin and Wang Suya in the film Youth in the Fire of War (1959).
Pang Xueqin in life is a deep and dignified character, and the personality of Lei Zhenlin in "Youth in the Fire of War" is incompatible with him, forming a strong anti-color.
At that time, Changying was also engaged in the "Great Leap Forward", several films were filmed at the same time, he was the principal of the "Chaoxia" crew during the day, Lin Zheng, and at night he went to the "Youth in the Fire" crew to fight.
Pang Xueqin's image in the film Chaoxia (1959).
Since he played the main role in both plays, in the past three months, he almost "rotated" with little sleep.
One night, Lei Zhenlin's play ended a little earlier, he turned into a costume store, wanted to rest for a while, but unexpectedly, he lay down and slept for more than 30 hours.
Pang Xueqin's image in the film Chaoxia (1959).
The next day, the "Chaoxia" crew filmed, looking all over Changchun did not find "Principal Lin", which can make everyone in the crew anxious, and later when they went to open the costume library to find props, they found him from the pile of clothes, a false alarm.
After that, the good deeds ran to tell the factory director at the time, and the factory director was so angry that he wanted to punish him, and only after being explained by others could he be considered discouraged.
Pang Xueqin's image in the film Youth in the Fire of War (1959).
Later, we can see in the finished film after filming that he jumped up and down in "Youth in The Fire", and basically sat and reasoned people in "Asaka".
It was also during the filming of "Youth in the Fire of War" that a telegram with bad news was filmed at the Changchun Film Studio, and Pang Xueqin's father died.

If Pang Xueqin rushed back to Jiangsu to take care of the family affairs, the entire film crew would have to delay. Pang Xueqin not only did not leave Changchun, but also continued to stay in the shed to shoot in spite of the high fever...
After many hardships, "Youth in the Fire of War" finally stopped, because the editors and directors all have military life, and pay attention to the portrayal of characters, the vitality of the revolutionary fighters that erupted the flame of youth is fully displayed in front of the audience, making this film with uncomplicated plot extremely infectious.
Pang Xueqin's image in the film Youth in the Fire of War (1959).
At that time, when the sample films were released in the factory, applause broke out from time to time in the small auditorium, and many people thought: "This play must be fried!" Sure enough, after the release, it caused a sensation across the country.
However, the film was also unlucky in the movement, and was eventually sealed, on the grounds that Lei Zhenlin "wore a hat crookedly, did not wear a button, and carried a large knife like a bandit." ”
Pang Xueqin's image in the film Youth in the Fire of War (1959).
After the reform and opening up, this movie reappeared in the sky, and its evaluation was that "since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the image of the military has not surpassed that of Lei Zhenlin and Dong Cunrui." ”
【Leave the leadership position and go south to Zhuhai】
In 1960, Pang Xueqin participated in the filming of "Jia Wu Fengyun" by Ye Nan (1930-2003) and other screenwriters and directors such as Lin Nong, playing the role of sailor Wang Guocheng in the film.
Pang Xueqin's image in the film "The Storm of The First Afternoon" (1962).
Although he is far removed from this character in terms of personality and temperament, because he is deeply moved by Wang Guocheng's lofty patriotic spirit of opposing surrender and advocating resistance, his performance is full of inner passion, and he has a deep understanding of Wang Guocheng's role in the whole play, so the shaping of this character has been successful.
Pang Xueqin's image in the film "The Storm of The First Afternoon" (1962).
In 1964, Pang Xueqin was invited by director Wang Yan to participate in the filming of "Independent Brigade". Originally, when the actors were selected for "Independent Brigade", there was no Pang Xueqin.
One day, Wang Yan came to Pang Xueqin and said, "Wang Xingang played a villain in "The Eternal Radio Wave" (1958), so you should also play one! ”
Images of Pang Xueqin and Guo Zhenqing in the film Independent Brigade (1964).
In order to open up the way of drama, Pang Xueqin agreed. Unexpectedly, this is not a small thing.
After the film was released, many viewers wrote to Pang Xueqin, saying: "In the past, you left us such a good impression on the screen, so dashing, handsome, and decent, why do you want to play a character with an ugly soul and dirty soul this time?" ”
Pang Xueqin's image in the film Independence Brigade (1964).
After reading these letters, compared with his two roles of "positive" and "anti" on the screen, Pang Xueqin was both amused and deeply moved by the audience's warm concern for him.
Pang Xueqin is one of the outstanding film actors cultivated by the Party after the liberation. Although his growth has not undergone "big ups and downs", it has not been smooth.
Pang Xueqin's image in the film Independence Brigade (1964).
In addition to filming, for more than 20 years, Pang Xueqin has served as a branch member of the Long Film Actors Troupe.
In 1972, he became the head of the troupe and the secretary of the branch. From 1973 onwards, he served as the deputy director of Long Shadow.

In 1985, in order to train young cadres, Pang Xueqin and some old colleagues left the leadership positions in the factory, and originally planned to return to their hometown and go to the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Culture, just to participate in the premiere of "Pearl of the South China Sea", he went to Zhuhai, a place with beautiful mountains and rivers.

The relevant person in charge of Zhuhai heard that he would change jobs, so he tried his best to persuade him to come to Zhuhai. It was difficult to be gracious, and Pang Xueqin changed his original intention and went south with his family.

Pang Xueqin's last film, The Man Chasing the Sun (1991), was shot in Zhuhai, with his son Pang Hao as executive director and the role of party secretary in the film, with his wife played by his old partner Yang Huan (1932-2004).

After they got married, Yang Huan could not work in 1962 due to a serious eye disease, and even his personal life could not take care of himself, and Pang Xueqin always cared for her and took care of her.
More than ten years have passed, no matter whether the road of life is smooth or bumpy, Pang Xueqin has always assumed the responsibility of the head of the family and has not wavered.
In 2004, Yang Huan suddenly suffered a heart attack and died at the age of 72 after all-out rescue efforts.

Accompanied by the death of his wife for decades, Pang Xueqin was grief-stricken, and the eldest son, Pang Hao, once commented on his father: "In the factory, he is the director of the factory, and he has busy business; Back home, he was a nanny, taking care of her sick mother. As a husband, he has been like a day to his wife for decades, never abandoning, and affectionately; As a man, he lives too easily."

Pang Xueqin's physical condition in his later years has always been very healthy, but at the age of 84, he accidentally fell down, resulting in a less smooth walk, so he underwent joint replacement surgery.
When he and Hideko Takayama walked away for 9 years, perhaps because the last wrestling had a blow to his heart, he died of sudden cardiac death at the age of 86.
