"What I like most about Du Yulu's performance is first of all his personal seriousness about the work, he has never left the film crew a step during the filming process, he has never been in a scene, he also takes the role extremely seriously, and an actor pays as much as he reciprocates."
This is the famous director Su Zhou, who has directed classic works such as "China Divine Fire", "Pudong People's Home", "Dongfang Hong", etc., in an interview, made an evaluation of the late famous performance artist and national first-class actor Du Yulu.
I have to say that looking back at Du Yulu's life, Su Zhou's evaluation of him is really very pertinent, and it just sums up Du Yulu's love for performance and his professionalism.
As a very good actor in the mainland, although Du Yulu has not cooperated with Li Baotian, Chen Baoguo, Tang Guoqiang, Li Youbin and other people who have not cooperated in popularity and popularity, neither his works nor his acting skills are worse than those people, and he is definitely a veritable old drama bone of the powerful faction!
But who could have imagined that he who brought countless classic works to the audience, but in his later years he was plagued by illness and tortured into a state of disappearance, after his death due to illness, it is reasonable to say that with his status and achievements in the show business circle, there should be many people attending his funeral, and only 6 people participated in his funeral, why is this?
Now that more than two years have passed since Du Yulu's death, how is his wife and his three children doing?
One
On New Year's Day in 1941, an ordinary couple in Tieling, Liaoning Province, gave birth to a boy who looked very clever and cute, and this boy was Du Yulu.
Du Yulu, who grew up in an ordinary family, although the economic conditions of the family were average when he was a child, his parents paid great attention to his cultivation, and he did not disappoint his parents, and his academic performance has been particularly good.
Since his second sister and second brother-in-law were both middle school teachers in Qiqihar, after graduating from middle school, he came to Qiqihar to study, and spent his entire middle school years in Qiqihar.
During middle school, Du Yulu accidentally came into contact with drama, and slowly became interested in the profession of actor, and began to yearn for becoming an actor in the future to perform the drama he liked.
In order to realize this dream, after graduating from middle school, he was admitted to the art college of Harbin Normal University and officially began to study acting.
Here, he was not only exposed to his favorite performances and dramas, but also met his first love, and at the same time he was also his wife Zhu Yongyu, who had been with him all his life.
The two of them, not long after they met, came together, and then they studied together and talked about sweet love together.
In 1960, after graduating from university, 19-year-old Du Yulu was assigned to the Harbin Drama Theater with excellent results and became a drama actor in the theater, while his girlfriend Zhu Yongyu, who had been with him during college, was assigned to the Harbin Children's Palace as a dance teacher in the Children's Palace.
Although the two were assigned to different places, this did not affect the feelings between them, every day after busy work, they would get together, and as they spent more and more time together, the relationship between the two became stronger and stronger.
In the third year of graduating from college, the two of them entered the palace of marriage and gave birth to two daughters and a son in succession.
Because of the help of his wife and family to take care of the children, Du Yulu's focus after marriage has always been on his career, and he has developed a career quite well.
Two
With a solid acting foundation and talent, not long after entering the theater, Du Yulu gained a firm foothold in the theater.
Among them, his stage plays such as "Songtao Song", "Death Ring", and "Harbin at Night" have become classic plays in the impression of countless audiences.
Unfortunately, this kind of family happiness and career stability did not last long, and with the arrival of the special period of ten years, all this has changed.
In 1966, Du Yulu, who encountered a special period, was first sent to the warehouse to take care of the goods, and then the Harbin Drama Theater was cancelled, and he was arranged to participate in the "study class" at that time.
During this period, his career was at a low ebb, and his income was very small, and the family's livelihood could only rely on his wife to support him, as well as the help of his family, which made it difficult to survive.
It was not until 1969, when Du Yuluto was transferred to the grain depot to carry sacks, that his income began to improve.
In 1970, after the restoration of the Harbin Drama Theatre, Du Yulu returned to the development of the Drama Theater and continued to be active on the stage of his favorite drama.
He stayed on the drama stage with peace of mind until 1979, after acting in drama for more than ten years, he finally entered the development of the show business by chance, and began his acting career.
At first, he only made cameos in some film and television works, playing some dispensable roles, and later after filming the movie "Adultery" starring him and actress Song Chunli, he portrayed the role of "Ganquan" particularly well, and finally slowly gained a foothold in the show business circle.
After the fire with "Rape", Du Yulu's acting career has also developed better and better.
Three
Since 1980, he has successively participated in film and television works such as "Eight Women Throwing Rivers" and "Innocent Killer", and both his performance in these works and his acting skills have won the praise of the audience.
In 1997, when participating in the work "Yongzheng Dynasty" starring Tang Guoqiang, Jiao Huang and others, the role of "Zhang Tingyu" played by him in the film was a person of keen integrity and outstanding talent, which left a deep impression on countless audiences.
Although many actors have also played this role later, in the eyes of the audience, his performance is always the best.
After that, Du Yulu has successively participated in many good works and good roles, from the old soldier "Fang Yingda" in "Highlighting the Heavy Siege", to the old owner "Bai Mengtang" with a strong personality in "The Gate of the Great Mansion", to the "Chiang Kai-shek" who played twice in "Red Sun" and "Dongfang Red 1949" and so on.
These roles he played with his heart, with the form of gods and vivid images, were not only recognized by the audience, but also respected by his peers in the circle.
In 2009, in view of Du Yulu's outstanding contributions to the mainland's acting career, he also won this award in the selection of the Feitian Award for "Outstanding Contribution Award of 60 People in 60 Years".
It can be seen that whether in the hearts of the audience or in the circle, he is a good actor who is deeply loved and supported by everyone.
While maintaining the stable development of his career, Du Yulu also took care of his family very well, not only had a stable relationship with his wife, but also grew up particularly well under his care and cultivation.
Four
The first is his relationship with his wife, Zhu Yongyu, who have met since the college campus, and have accompanied each other for decades.
During this period, whether he encountered a special period, or later entered the entertainment industry, or after becoming famous in the show business, his wife was always by his side.
For him, his wife has become an indispensable part of his life, which is why he has been with him for decades.
In addition to the relationship with his wife has always been as loving as ever, under the common care of the couple, their three children have also been well taken care of by them.
His two daughters were not only well-behaved and sensible from childhood, but also very filial when they grew up, and they each had their own happy lives and married the right people.
Du Yulu's only son, Du Gang, became his pride.
Du Gang was not influenced by Du Yulu to enter the show business development, love table tennis he became a table tennis coach at the age of 18, we are familiar with the table tennis world champion Kong Linghui, when he was a child was his student.
When Kong Linghui was 7 years old, he studied table tennis with Du Gang, and under the guidance of Du Gang's hands, he laid a solid foundation and laid the foundation for future participation in the world arena.
It may be because his son Du Gang was once the coach of the world champion, and Du Yulu, who taught his son to play when he was a child, will smile proudly every time he mentions to others that his son is the coach of the world champion Kong Linghui.
In addition, he couldn't help but joke every time: "He is the enlightenment coach of the world champion, and I am his enlightenment coach..."
It can be seen from Du Yulu's words that although his son is not as well known as the public, he is still particularly pleased with his son's achievements in coaching.
As he grew older, starting from 2008, Du Yulu slowly slowed down the pace of his career, no longer worked hard for his career, and rarely participated in new works.
Unfortunately, before Du Yulu could enjoy his old age with peace of mind, the disease quietly entangled him.
Five
One day in 2009, Du Yulu, who was 68 years old, suddenly started a high fever, at first he thought that he was just too tired recently, and taking medicine would get better, the result was more and more serious, and when he was sent to the hospital by his family, he found that he was diagnosed with lung cancer.
When he heard the news, he froze and eased up for a while.
When his wife learned of his illness, she washed her face with tears every day, especially after seeing his painful expression of being tormented by the disease.
But in order to let him accept the treatment with peace of mind, his wife was very strong in front of him every time, and every time she comforted him: "You can rest assured, the doctor said that you are recovering well, as long as you are well treated, you will be able to recover." ”
"When you recover, we will go home, and when you like to stay at home, stay at home, and if you love to go out to shoot a scene, go out to shoot a movie..."
Fortunately, due to the early discovery of the condition at that time, after continuous treatment, Du Yulu's condition was gradually stabilized.
After experiencing this ups and downs, Du Yulu, who had originally slowed down the pace of his career, rarely participated in new works in the following ten years, leaving almost all the time for his family.
Unfortunately, although he has been paying attention to his living habits and work and rest time since then, his physical condition has become worse and worse due to the repeated illness.
In February 2020, due to the sudden deterioration of his condition, he fell into a coma for a while.
During his serious illness, his wife Zhu Yongyu always stood by his side, looking forward to the miracle.
Unfortunately, due to the rapid spread of cancer cells, the speed of treatment can not keep up, in the early morning of February 21 of the same year, after leaving Zhu Yongyu with the sentence "The universe is so big, we will meet", Du Yulu died of lung cancer at the age of 79.
Six
For Du Yulu's death, countless people feel sorry, the saddest of which is his wife and children.
The day after he left, his daughter Du Qiuhua also posted on his social media account: "My father, Du Yulu, died of lung cancer at home at 5:01 a.m. on February 21, 2020. ”
"Dad's last words in the world, the universe is so big, we will still meet."
On the third day of Du Yulu's death, because of the impact of the epidemic at that time and the respect for Du Yulu's last wishes, the family held a very simple funeral for him.
From Du Yulu's daughter Du Qiuhua's later posting, we can see that only 6 people attended Du Yulu's funeral that day.
In this regard, Du Qiuhua also pointed out in particular: "At 7 o'clock in the morning of the 23rd, the funeral of only 6 people began, Dad is a quiet person, and the epidemic has given him a reason to go quietly." ”
After helping Du Yulu deal with his death, his children have started a new life, and life is back on track.
Although they often think of their father, they also know that the fact that his father is gone cannot be changed after all, and they have gradually accepted this fact under the healing of time.
Nowadays, they have a good life, although they are not very rich and expensive, but they have no worries about food and clothing, and they can be regarded as living very well.
In contrast, their mother, Zhu Yongyu, Du Yulu's widow, has been thinking about everything related to Du Yulu.
It can be said that Du Yulu's death has become the pain of the rest of her life.
Seven
From 1962 to 2020, Zhu Yongyu, who accompanied Du Yulu for a full 58 years after marriage, knows how deep her feelings for Du Yulu are.
Because of this, since Du Yulu left, Zhu Yongyu has been nostalgic for the past of the two of them, recalling the bits and pieces of their previous lives.
Although under the passage of time, she also gradually accepted the fact that Du Yulu left, but in her heart, Du Yulu's position was always irreplaceable.
She has always put Du Yulu in her heart, every Qingming Festival and Du Yulu's death day will go to Du Yulu's tomb to see him, and tell him about her recent situation and life, when she encounters a special anniversary, she will also use a special way to commemorate him.
Probably in order not to disturb the lives of her children, after Du Yulu left, she did not move to live with her children, but always lived in the old house where Du Yulu lived with her.
I have to say that seeing her insistence on missing her deceased husband Du Yulu and her dedication to this relationship is really touching and tearful.
It is worth saying that although Du Yulu died, the traces of his life have not disappeared with his departure, for example, after his death, there have been many audiences who love and support him to relive the film and television works in which he participated in his lifetime.
In May 2021, more than a year after his death, the last work he participated in, "Wenzhou Three Families", was broadcast and was recognized by countless audiences.
Unfortunately, the role of "Huang Fugui" he played in the film has become the best song in his acting career...
It has been more than two years since Du Yulu's death, and in the past two years, different things have happened every day.
With the passage of time, more and more audiences will slowly forget him as an actor, but in the hearts of those who really love and support him, I believe that everyone will continue to support his work.
