Edit the | Sun Dasheng
From October 27 to November 3, in just 8 days, the death of 9 celebrities was reported.
Their departure is a loss for the entertainment industry, which makes the audience and fans who like them very reluctant.
It is doubly regrettable that many of them died young, and four of them were under the age of 30.
I hope that readers who see this article will live well, cherish the people around them, and have a smooth life.
01. Lu Shuming, 66 years old
Lu Shuming is a well-known actor, and the role of "Guan Gong" he created has been surpassed so far.
Born in Qingdao, Shandong Province in 1956, Lu Shuming moved with his family to Weinan in Shaanxi Province when he was 10 years old.
Lu Shuming was able to embark on the road of actor, which is purely accidental.
In 1980, Lu Shuming's cousin applied for the Xi'an Drama Theater, and at the request of his aunt, he accompanied his cousin to Xi'an for the exam.
When his cousin entered the examination room, Lu Shuming waited outside.
While he was waiting, he was seen by Guo Da, who was then the deputy captain of the Xi'an Drama Theater actor team.
Guo Da feels that he is a talent, a material for being an actor. So he was arranged to also take the exam of the Xi'an Drama Theater.
In the end, Lu Shuming was also admitted.
However, not long after entering the Xi'an Drama Theater, Lu Shuming was punished to burn the boiler for violating the rule that young actors in the theater were not allowed to fall in love.
After finally burning the boiler and having a play, Lu Shuming was sentenced to 16 months in prison in 1983 for dancing 7 or 8 times at a friend's uncle's house.
3 years after being released from prison, Lu Shuming resumed acting and cooperated with Zhang Yimou and Gong Li in the movie "Ancient and Modern Wars Qin Warriors".
However, what really made Lu Shuming famous was the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
In 1990, under the recommendation of Guo Da, Lu Shuming had the opportunity to audition for the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
In the end, Lu Shuming defeated 36 other competitors for the role of "Guan Yu" and successfully played Guan Yu.
In October 1994, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was broadcast, and it was popular all over the country, because the loyal and courageous Guan Yu played extremely successfully, and Lu Shuming became famous.
After becoming famous, Lu Shuming has successively starred in film and television dramas such as "Journey to the West", "Hanwu Emperor", "Fragrant Mountain Strange Relationship", and also launched the song "A Pot of Old Wine", and established the Lu family class.
In addition to the success of his acting career, the brotherhood between Lu Shuming and "Zhang Fei" Li Jingfei is also praised by the outside world.
In 2015, Lu Shuming learned the news that Li Jingfei was incapacitated and depressed due to cerebral infarction.
Without saying a word, he rushed to Shijiazhuang, where Li Jingfei lived, and asked a doctor to examine him to help ease the relationship with his ex-wife, and gathered a group of old friends to raise money for Li Jingfei's treatment, and even contacted a nursing home for Li Jingfei in Xi'an, allowing Li Jingfei to live in it for free.
With the help of Lu Shuming, Li Jingfei's mental state and physical health have greatly improved.
But what people did not expect was that on November 1, 2022, Lu Shuming died of a sudden heart attack at the age of 66.
Just like the plot in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the second brother walked ahead of the third brother.
As soon as the news of Lu Shuming's death was reported by the media, Zhang Yimou, "Zhuge Liang" Tang Guoqiang, "Liu Bei" Sun Yanjun, host Wang Weinian and others sent messages of condolences.
02. Ma Zhiqin, 80 years old
Ma Zhiqin is a powerful actor and a queen of the Golden Bell Award.
Born in 1942 in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, Ma Zhiqin is originally from Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, and moved to Taiwan with her parents when she was young.
At the age of 17, Ma Zhiqin got the opportunity to star in the movie "Golden Age", thus officially stepping into the entertainment industry.
After becoming an actress, she starred in film and television dramas such as "A Cut of Plum", "Female Inspector", and "Last Night Star".
And, because of her excellent acting skills, she won the Golden Bell Award for "Last Night Star".
However, in 2016, due to age, after filming "Love Songs for Adults", she chose to rest in the shadow.
After taking a break, Ma Zhiqin actively engaged in charity and public welfare, and became old friends with his three ex-husbands.
Ma Zhiqin dares to love and hate, and has 3 marriages and 4 children in his life.
Unfortunately, 3 years ago, Ma Zhiqin was diagnosed with ALS.
Since then, Ma Zhiqin has begun the hard struggle against the disease.
Unfortunately, Ma Zhiqin still failed to overcome the disease.
On November 1, 2022, Ma Zhiqin died of illness in his sleep at the age of 80.
03. Xu Zhongxin, 70 years old
Xu Zhongxin is a famous martial arts instructor and actor in Hong Kong, known as the "TVB Royal Villain".
Born in 1952, Xu Zhongxin was very naughty as a child, often fighting with people, so much so that the school dissuaded him to quit.
In desperation, his family sent him to the Peking Opera School for training when he was 10 years old, and this training lasted 7 years.
After leaving the Peking Opera School, Xu Zhongxin joined the Shaw Film Company and officially entered the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
After entering the entertainment industry, Xu Zhongxin mainly did three things.
One is to be a stand-in, the second is to be a martial arts instructor, and the third is to be an actor.
Xu Zhongxin worked as a stand-in for many Hong Kong stars, but his stand-in work ended in 1989.
This year, Zheng Shaoqiu filmed the TV series "Decisive Battle in the Imperial City", and Xu Zhongxin served as a stand-in for Zheng Shaoqiu in this drama.
At that time, when Xu Zhongxin was completing a jumping from the second floor for Zheng Shaoqiu, he had an accident and twisted the cruciate ligament in his foot.
This injury, Xu Zhongxin took 10 months to recover, and he can no longer do difficult movements after recovery.
As a martial arts instructor, Xu Zhongxin has been a martial arts instructor for TVB movies and TV series for a long time since the seventies of the last century. He was also nominated for Best Action Design at the 7th Hong Kong Film Awards for the movie "The Ghost of a Girl".
As an actor, Xu Zhongxin can be said to be a "golden supporting role" and "villain professional" in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. Most of the roles he played are big thieves and underworld bosses, so he is also known as the "TVB royal villain".
As an actor, Xu Zhongxin starred in films such as "Thunder Sweeping Drugs", "Once Upon a Time: Iron Chicken Fighting Centipede", "Operation Gold Chase", "Dragon and Tiger Poland Street", "Underworld", "Banishment" and other movies, which were deeply loved by the audience.
It is worth mentioning that his role as the villain "Lei Yixiao" in "Once Upon a Time: Iron Chicken Fighting Centipede" is a classic, and his rivalry with Jet Li in this movie is also very exciting.
However, with age and physical reasons, in April this year, Xu Zhongxin switched from TVB action artist to contract artist and began a semi-retired life.
On October 25 this year, Xu Zhongxin appeared and gathered with Qian Jiale and other friends to discuss some future activities.
At that time, they also took photos, and Xu Zhongxin in the photo looked very good in spirit and physically tough.
What people never expected was that in the past 7 days, Xu Zhongxin died of a sudden heart attack on November 2 at the age of 70.
After Xu Zhongxin's death, audiences who loved him and some Hong Kong entertainers posted condolences.

In addition to being a news anchor, Zhang Ruiling has also hosted programs such as "Just Love to Play Beauty" and "I Love to Watch Movies", and interviewed stars such as Zhou Huimin and Fei Xiang, which are deeply loved by the audience.
In recent years, because of the diagnosis of breast cancer, she has slowly faded from the public's view.
After suffering from cancer, Zhang Ruiling actively cooperated with the doctor's treatment, and when the doctor advised her to give up, she still did not give up the will to live.
However, because of the bad relationship with her parents, during her illness, her parents did not care much about her, but her friends often visited her, and her two cats accompanied her.
Originally, after active treatment, Zhang Ruiling's condition was controlled, but what people did not expect was that in August this year, Zhang Ruiling's condition suddenly deteriorated and she was admitted to the hospital again.
Perhaps feeling that her time was short, Zhang Ruiling made a will and arranged the aftermath for herself.
She wrote in her will to leave part of her savings to her family and part to help stray animals and the poor.
She also said that she was most reluctant to her two cats and hoped that her cat would be well cared for after her death.
On October 27, 2022, Zhang Ruiling unfortunately passed away at the age of 51.

After falling ill, Cormac actively received treatment, but unfortunately, whether it was surgery, chemotherapy, high-dose chemotherapy, transplantation, it had little effect.
Because of his illness, Cormac lost half of his hearing and lost 60 pounds.
But even so, he still did not give up music and still insisted on composing.
Unfortunately, the disease was too relentless, and he died at the age of 25.
On November 1, foreign media reported the news of Cormac's death, and netizens felt very sorry.
