When I was in elementary school, there was a song with a beautiful melody that was very popular. Families with tape recorders at the time had a cassette of "A Thousand Waters and a Thousand Mountains Are Always Love". I remember that this song also became a must-sing song for school activities.
Old tape
This song is the theme song of the classic Hong Kong drama "Thousands of Rivers and Mountains Are Always Love". In addition to this song, the actors in the play are also deeply impressed.
They are all seventy or eighty people now, but the actors in the play will still make the old audience pay attention to it.
Zhuang Mengdi plays Wang Mingquan
Zhuang Mengdi
The name Zhuang Mengdi is too poetic, which is very reminiscent of the allusion of "Zhuang Zhou Mengdi".
From this poetic name, it can be seen that Zhuang Mengdi was born in the shuxiang Mendi family.
Zhuang Mengdi is a progressive young man who has organized students to carry out anti-Japanese activities many times.
She invited the upright Nguyen Dinh Shen as an advisor, and the two's half-century-long and tortuous love story that transcended thousands of mountains and rivers began.
Zhuang Mengdi is played by Hong Kong star Wang Mingquan in the 1970s and 1980s, and the theme song of the TV series is also sung by her.
Until now, Wang Mingquan went to the mainland to perform, "Ten Thousand Rivers and Thousands of Mountains Are Always Love" is her must-sing song, and the old audience will not tire of listening to it, and every time they will respond with warm applause.
Born in Chongming Island in 1947, Wang Mingquan lived with his grandmother and went to Hong Kong at the age of 9 to reunite with his parents.
In 1966, he participated in the artist training class and graduated with the first place. During the training class, Wang Mingquan and Zou Shixiao, who is also a student, fell in love.
Wang Mingquan in his youth
She signed a contract with Li's TV station in the first place, and because her boyfriend Zou Shixiao had no achievements in acting, the two broke up not long after.
Feng Quanfan
Wang Mingquan immediately came together with the tall Feng Quanfan, who was said to be Feng Quanfan's first love, but the two broke up not long after they were together.
After he broke up with Wang Mingquan, he lived with Zeng Qingyu, the actor of Qi Yunzhi in "Thousands of Waters and Mountains", for two years.
Wang Mingquan and ex-husband Liu Changhua
Wang Mingquan's first husband was Liu Changhua, the second generation of the rich. The mother-in-law hopes that she will give up her acting career and be a young grandmother at home.
But she couldn't let go of her career, and she didn't want to live a life without pursuits.
In 1977, Wang Mingquan miscarried while filming "Family Change" during pregnancy, and she became estranged from her husband and mother-in-law.
Without thinking that the "family change" story in reality happened to her, her husband gradually alienated her and spent his days outside drinking.
Wang Mingquan and He Shouxin
She and Liu Changhua could only end up divorcing. In fact, when Liu Changhua spent days and nights outside, Wang Mingquan also found a boyfriend to seek balance, he is the host He Shouxin.
Wang Mingquan's career has reached its peak at this time, before "Ten Thousand Waters and Thousand Mountains Are Always Love", she had played Zhao Min in Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhao Yazhi's version of "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon", and she became the first actor to play Zhao Min in a TV series.
Wang Mingquan was on fire because of Zhuang Mengdi, and she sang "Ten Thousand Waters and Thousands of Mountains Always Love" for the first time in 1985.
Career triumph, love field frustration. Her boyfriend He Shouxin was unfaithful to her and had a third party behind her back.
Wang Mingquan originally thought that she had found a Ruyi Langjun, but it turned out to be a scumbag, which caused her a lot of psychological shadow.
Due to several unsuccessful relationships that made her lose confidence, coupled with cancer, Wang Mingquan became very depressed.
At this time, 40-year-old Luo Jiaying appeared in her life and accompanied her through one difficult time after another.
Luo Jiaying once played Tang Monk in Stephen Chow's movie, and the song "OnLyYou" became a classic.
Luo Jiaying proposed to Wang Mingquan 19 times in 20 years. But she had a shadow in her heart, a fear of marriage, and had not answered.
Sincerely, the golden stone is open. After several marriage proposals, the "Tang monk" finally impressed Wang Mingquan and obtained the True Scriptures. And she also ate "Tang monk meat".
Wang Mingquan also went through thousands of rivers and mountains to find the true feelings of her life.
Nguyen Dinh Shen plays Xie Xian
Xie Xian lived a dashing life, pursued romance, and inherited this personality to his son Xie Tingfeng and daughter Xie Tingting.
Xie Xian was born in 1936 and was also very playful after becoming an actor. Before his two marriages, he had two formal girlfriends. The first girlfriend was called Jia Ling.
The second girlfriend is Xiao Fangfang, who is also the actor of Miao Cuihua in the film Jet Li's version of "Fang Shiyu".
Because they were too playful, Jia Ling and Xiao Fangfang both took the initiative to leave him.
Xie Xian's first wife was The Taiwanese beauty Zhen Zhen, who encouraged her husband to read more books. And Xie Xian believes that he does not have enough time to play, where is the time to read?
Xie Xian still went his own way after getting married, often coming back drunk with his friends outside, snubbing his wife and giving the marriage a red light.
Two years later, Zhen Zhen and Xie Xian divorced.
Deborah's original name was Lee Min-yee
The dashing Fourth Brother Xie never lacks beautiful women to accompany him. In 1979, he married his Hong Kong sister Deborah and had a son and a daughter.
His son, Nicholas Tse, later became a hot figure in Hong Kong's entertainment industry.
Deborah, her son Tse Tingfeng, and her daughter Tingting Xie
Xie Xian and Deborah lived together for 16 years, and the two eventually divorced in 1995 due to different living habits. Both the son and daughter followed Deborah.
In 2005, at the age of 69, Xie Xian met COCO, a 20-year-old model from Shanghai, in a bar, and they fell in love with a 49-year-old age difference.
His little girlfriend is younger than Tse Tingfeng, and Tse Tingfeng is infatuated with Faye Wong, who is older than him. This father and son are just different.
Stills from "A Thousand Waters and a Thousand Mountains Are Always Love"
In 2017, in order not to delay coco's future, Xie Xian took the initiative to let go at the age of 81.
Son Nicholas Tse took out 20 million yuan to pay for his father's 12-year twilight love.
In 2002, Xie Xianbao was not old, and won the Golden Statue Emperor with "Dusk Killer", and he became the oldest best actor in history.
Xie Xian and Nicholas Tse also became the first father-son film emperor in the history of the Academy Awards.
Nguyen Dinh Jin plays Zeng Jiang
Zeng Jiang played ruan Dinh Jin, the second young master of the Ruan family, in the play. His friendship with Nguyen Dinh Shen's actor, Xie Xian, began at that time.
Zeng Jiang often plays the boss in Hong Kong films, but what impressed him more deeply is the Eastern Evil Huang Yaoshi in the 83rd edition of "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter".
Huang Yaoshi, played by Zeng Jiang, is the most classic image of the Eastern Evil and the best memory he left for the audience.
Remember Xie Xian slapping Zeng Jiang? At that time, the two were arguing over small things, and Xie Xian stood up from his seat and slapped Zeng Jiang, which made everyone stunned.
I have to say that Xie Xian's anger is even stronger. Later, the two old brothers reached an understanding and did not mention the matter again.
Zeng Jiang's first wife was Zhang Zhidong's great-granddaughter Lan Di, his second wife, Deng Gongbi, was a columnist and model, and his third wife, Jiao Jiao, was an actress.
In April 2022, Zeng Jiang fell at the epidemic prevention hotel and accidentally lost his life at the age of 87.
Zhuang Tianya plays Lu Liangwei
When Lu Liangwei played Zhuang Tianya, it was when his career was just rising, and his handsome appearance left a deep impression.
Zhuang Tianya, played by him, is the adopted son of the Zhuang family, but he has a crush on Zhuang Mengdi and later marries Qi Yunzhi.
Zhuang Heru plays Guan Haishan
Kwan Is a gold medal supporting role in Hong Kong, shaping more than 200 roles in his lifetime, including 161 films and 106 TV series. Zhuang Heru is just one of his many roles.
Some people say that Guan Haishan is Guan Zhilin's father, but in fact, this is a misinformation, Guan Zhilin's father is Guan Shan, and Guan Haishan is a word difference.
Guan Haishan had four wives in his lifetime. None of the first three were officially married to him, but they all bore him children.
In 2001, Guan Haishan suffered a stroke, fell at home on September 12, 2006, and died at the age of 82 after being sent to the hospital.
Due to his sudden death, he did not leave a will. His fourth wife, Zeng Dirong, was his legal wife, and she announced at the spiritual hall that Guan Haishan's inheritance belonged to her and her son.
The three ex-wives and 6 children were greatly dissatisfied, and they quarreled and even fought in the spiritual hall for the inheritance, and the scene was very chaotic.
Zheng Shaoqiu really couldn't watch it anymore and stepped forward to stop this farce. Later, the division of Guan Haishan's estate was perfectly resolved in court.
There are many familiar faces in the play
