In 1997, Ke Shouliang completed the feat of flying away from the Yellow River under the watchful eyes of Andy Lau, Wu Zongxian and other Hong Kong stars, but his brilliant life was far more than that.
He is helpful, heroic, has helped Zeng Zhiwei, and Andy Lau is a good friend, he sang "Big Brother" has been sung by people to this day.
Such an almost legendary actor died unexpectedly at the age of 50, and after his career was so smooth, why couldn't his wife and children even pay for the burial?
Before his death, he had close relations with many celebrities in the Hong Kong circle, who said that they would help Ke Shouliang take good care of his wife and children in the future, but now their promises have been fulfilled?
Ke Shouliang was born in 1953 in a small, impoverished fishing village in Zhejiang Province, where his parents had few skills and could only rely on fishing to support their families.
The parents did not want their children to grow up to be a fisherman, so they took him to live in Taiwan when he was two years old.
But this couple with a low level of education, even if they come to Taiwan, can only continue to fish for a living, living a life of early departure and late return every day.
Even so, they gritted their teeth to send their children to school and let Ke Shuliang receive an education.
Ke Shouliang obviously did not understand the good intentions of his parents, did not like to listen to lectures in school classes, and often did some naughty things.
The father was very sad to see his son "not doing the right thing", and he also tried to reason with his son, but each time it ended in an argument.
After Ke Shouliang quarreled with his father again, he could no longer stand his father's "nagging" and simply dropped out of school to enter the society to work hard.
In order to make money Ke Shouliang did a lot of work, he worked as a cleaner, washed dishes, worked as a waiter, and the hardships of life smoothed out the "thorns" on his body, until this time Ke Shouliang suddenly woke up and understood the good intentions of his parents.
It happened that Hong Kong movies were popular in that era, and although Ke Shouliang did not understand movies, he knew that he could make money as an actor, so he took the initiative to apply for film school, and finally became a student again at the age of 17.
The time of studying was very boring, during which Ke Shuliang fell in love with motorcycle racing, and whenever he had time, he would participate in various races, and he once won the first place in motorcycle racing.
But after he entered the entertainment industry, he was splashed with a basin of cold water, he had neither fame nor background, and he could only start from the dragon set when he entered the crew, even so, he still came to Hong Kong to work with a passion.
In addition to pouring tea and water for some actors, he also needs to complete some dangerous actions, and sometimes he will be harassed.
Ke Shouliang understands that the root of all this is that his fame is too small, and every time he plays, he will do his best to complete the role, and when he is idle, he will observe how others act.
In addition, his personality is not as irritable as a teenager, and he is also very kind when he gets along with people, and he slowly makes many friends, and his fate has also changed because of these friends.
In 1982, Zeng Zhiwei invited Xu Guanjie, Zhang Aijia and others to star in "Best Partner", most of the roles in the play have been determined, and the stuntman who only has one scene has not been determined.
The play requires the actor to drive a motorcycle to fly through the broken window on the third floor of the building, and the slightest carelessness may kill Huangquan.
Many stuntmen refused to take the play, and even some brave foreigners refused, and at this moment someone told Zeng Zhiwei: "You can find Ke Shouliang, he will definitely be able to complete this role." ”
This sentence made Zeng Zhiwei's eyes light up, and he immediately contacted Ke Shouliang and asked him if he was acting.
Originally, he did not have much hope for this matter, but no one expected that Ke Shouliang really agreed to play this role.
In order to prevent him from having an accident during filming, Zeng Zhiwei paid great attention to safety, checked the remedial measures on the shooting site early in the morning, and sent two ambulances to wait in place.
Fortunately, in this play, Ke Shouliang did a very good job, and this shot has also become a classic shot of "Best Partner".
After the play, Ke Shouliang won the title of "Ke Bold", but because his performance shots were too dangerous, he was also rejected by the insurance company like Jackie Chan.
In the process of shooting, Zeng Zhiwei was gradually moved by Ke Shouliang's heroic personality, and soon the two "called brothers and brothers".
At that time, Zeng Zhiwei's position in the Hong Kong circle was not small, and Ke Shouliang's "opportunities" were also increasing.
He also served as the action director of Jackie Chan's "Fast Food Truck" on the recommendation of Zeng Zhiwei, and since then the two have collaborated on many works, including "Dragon and Tiger Brothers".
Ke Shouliang's career is also "flat and green", and sometimes he will help to promote his juniors, and Andy Lau appeared in front of him at this time.
Andy Lau debuted a few years later than Ke Shengliang, and was taken care of by the other party in the crew. Ke Shouliang is also very optimistic about this handsome young man.
Once in the crew, Andy Lau suddenly heard Ke Shouliang humming "Lone Star Tears" and thought it was very good, so he asked: "What song are you?" Can you teach me to sing? ”
Ke Shouliang waved his hand indifferently: "If you like me, I will give you this song." ”
The song "Lone Star Tears" was included in the album by Andy Lau and was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Film Song.
Andy Lau has always regarded Ke Shouliang as his "big brother", and after Ke Shouliang crossed the Yellow River, he also specially wrote a "Big Brother" for him to express his admiration.
At the age of 23, Ke Shouliang met his wife Song Lihua, but after the two were together, they were opposed by their parents.
"His work is so dangerous, in the future, if there is an accident, you will be widowed."
Song Lihua said very firmly: "I just like him, no matter what accidents occur, I don't regret it." ”
Seeing that their daughters were so insistent, they had to acquiesce to the relationship.
Without hindrance, Ke Shouliang and Song Lihua soon entered the palace of marriage and gave birth to three children.
But soon Song Lihua found that life after marriage was not as good as she thought, in this Hong Kong, where land was scarce, they could not afford to buy a house, and at the same time, some of Ke Shouliang's "vices" were also exposed.
It is said that once when Wu Zongxian and Andy Lau were recording the song "Stupid Child", the drunken Ke Shouliang inadvertently broke in and sang along.
After the recording, they felt that the song was very successful and left the song behind.
Ke Shouliang's voice also became the soul of the song.
But Song Lihua did not like her husband to drink, and she would often remind Ke Shouliang: "You go out and drink less, don't come back drunk." ”
Every time Ke Shouliang gladly agreed, but when he returned home, he was still full of alcohol.
What makes Song Lihua even more unbearable is that in addition to Ke Shouliang's love of drinking, he has also spread "lace news", and he has passed on gossip with model Xie Donna.
The two met in 1997, and Ke Shouliang also came to participate when Xie Donna published the book.
In the face of her husband's "lace news", Song Lihua is very painful, but she loves her husband deeply and is unwilling to end this marriage.
The truth of this "scandal" is unknown to us, and Ke Shouliang has not been affected, and he is preparing for his next "feat" at this time.
In 1992, Ke Shouliang heard that a foreigner was going to challenge himself to ride a motorcycle over the Great Wall Beacon.
After learning the news, Ke Shouliang was very angry, he thought that the Great Wall was a symbol of Chinese, and he could not let a foreigner successfully challenge, so he was ready to complete the challenge himself.
It should be known that the distance between the beacon towers is 30 meters apart, and there is not much room for activity on it, and if you are not careful, you will destroy the car and kill people.
But the legend of Ke Shouliang did not stop, in 1997, in order to celebrate the return of Hong Kong, he directly drove a car to complete the "feat" of flying the Yellow River.
At that time, the width of the Yellow River was 50 meters, and below it was a turbulent flow of water, and the degree of danger was self-evident.
After knowing his thoughts, his wife repeatedly persuaded him to think carefully, but Ke Shouliang still went his own way, and in the face of her husband's insistence, her wife had to agree.
Because the preparation stage of this leap over the Yellow River was very "burning money", in order to complete the project, Ke Shouliang spent all his savings, sold the house, and even pulled the sponsorship of CCTV.
Ke Shouliang's father saw that his son was working so hard and also took the initiative to give him 300,000 yuan.
Even so, he is still short of a lot of money, Jacky Cheung took the initiative to sponsor him 500,000 after knowing it, which gave him the opportunity to complete his dream.
Ke Shouliang's driving over the Yellow River was only two seconds, but he won the title of "Asia's First Flying Man" with these two seconds, and he also became an idol in the hearts of many people.
After the crossing of the Yellow River, Ke Shouliang worked hard to pay off his debts, and in 2003 he suddenly died of drinking too much while attending a party.
Ke Shouliang's wife and children were in pain after hearing the news of their husband's death, and what followed was infinite confusion.
Ke Shouliang has always liked to "fight for righteousness and loose money" over the years, and has donated two Hope Primary Schools, although he has made a lot of money, his family is "destitute", and his wife and children cannot even pay for his burial.
When they were at a loss, Ke Shouliang's good brothers Zeng Zhiwei, Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung and others reached out to help him hold a beautiful funeral.
On that day, more than 200 celebrities came to mourn.
Jacky Cheung and others told Song Lihua: "Sister-in-law, you can rest assured, after the eldest brother is gone, we will take care of you and the children." ”
Zeng Zhiwei also made a movie, leaving all the box office to Ke Shouliang's wife and children to take care of.
Andy Lau also found someone to hold a concert in honor of Ke Shouliang, and gave all the income to Song Lihua and the children.
In addition, when Song Lihua's children have no tuition and living expenses, these people will also take the initiative to help, and with their help, Ke Shouliang's widow and children gradually come out of sadness.
Perhaps influenced by his father, Ke Youlun's son Ke Youlun grew up and became interested in music, Jacky Cheung personally led him into the "music gate", and Andy Lau escorted him.
In 1999, he entered the Alfa company and became Jay Chou's disciple, and was often guided by Jay Chou when learning music.
He also did not live up to the help of these people, winning the Best Newcomer Award in 2006 and the Best Singing and Dancing Singer Award in 2015, and his career is going well.
After Ke Youlun gained a foothold in the entertainment industry, he also had a very famous ex-girlfriend, Chen Yanxi.
In 2016, he met his wife, Dora, and the two fell in love for two years and entered the palace of marriage, and in 2020 gave birth to their daughter Mila.
At that time, when Ke Youlun got married, Jacky Cheung, Zeng Zhiwei, Andy Lau and others all attended his wedding and gave him enough face.
Ke Shouliang's second son, Ke Youqian, studied directing in the United States and also directed his brother's MV "Tired and Not In Love".
As for Ke Shouliang's daughter Ke Lizhen, she married a wealthy merchant as a wife several years ago. Jacky Cheung and others were worried that Ke Lizhen would be bullied by rich businessmen after she did not have a father, and attended Ke Lizhen's wedding as a family member.
On Father's Day on June 19 this year, Ke Youlun shared an old photo of his father on social platforms, although he already has a family and daughter, he has never forgotten his father's voice and smile.
Ke Shouliang's life was as short and bright as a shooting star, and his "heroic past" and the friends he made became the best "gifts" for his wife and children.
