Shi Yu debuted in Qiong Yao drama, and also appeared in Qiong Yao drama many times, known as the royal actor of Qiong Yao drama, so he was also mistaken for a Taiwanese actor.
In fact, Shi Yu is a native of Shanghai and immigrated to Australia with his parents since he was a child.
In fact, what is even more surprising is that Shi Yu was once a world badminton master, and he came into contact with acting by chance, so he transformed into a full-time actor after retiring.
01
Shi Yu, born in Shanghai in 1962, his father is badminton coach Shi Ning'an, so his father's expectation of him is also to become a badminton star, which can be seen from his name.
The single name has a "feather" character, which shows his father's good intentions.
Of course, Shi Yu did not live up to his father's expectations.
Since elementary school, Shi Yu has been training for demons under his father's arrangement, and he has to get up at five o'clock every morning to practice basic movements until school hours.
After school, he can't play as happily as other children, he has to go home and start practicing badminton immediately.
This life lasted until he went to college.
Cycle like this, almost a quarter of the day is spent practicing badminton, no fun, no vacation, not everyone can stick to it.
But Shi Yu did it, his life was only badminton and studying, and his life seemed boring and unfree compared to other classmates.
But Shi Yu never complained or gave up.
Under the teachings of his father, his badminton achievements are very dazzling, and he has won many championships in various regional competitions.
Not only that, in the 1985 World Badminton Series Grand Prix Finals, he also won the runner-up of the competition, second only to Han Jian, the first male player in China, which is enough to show Shi Yu's status in the international badminton arena.
In other words, before that, Shi Yu was good at badminton, not acting.
So how did he break into the show business and become an actor? This also starts with his participation in badminton competitions.

Shi Yu is one meter eight meters tall, and his image is also good, coupled with long-term badminton training, his strong body is even more fascinating.
This laid the foundation for him to enter the entertainment industry.
At that time, after Shi Yu participated in a competition in Taiwan, there was a famous drama "Jiajiafu" that needed an actor at that time, and he was fortunate to make a cameo appearance.
It became a new experience in his life besides badminton, which piqued his new interest.
So in 1990, at the age of 28, he officially starred in his first TV series "Wanjun", in which he played the youngest son of the Zhou family, Lao San Zhou Shuhao.
In the play, although Shi Yu is not the protagonist, he is not from a science class.
But he interpreted the third man's love and pitying emotion very well, which he could not feel on the badminton court.
Then, Shi Yu played the role of Kang Menghua in "Wangfu Cliff".
In 1993, Shi Yu was selected by Qiong Yao to make another cameo appearance in "Qingqing Riverside Grass", when a director surnamed Liu said to Shi Yu in a joking tone:
As long as you act in one play, you will act in the second part, and in the end you will be deeply trapped in it, unable to extricate yourself.
Shi Yu shook his head after hearing this, saying that it was not so mysterious and impossible, because what he loved most in his heart was badminton.
And acting is just one more life experience for him.
However, it turned out that Director Liu was right.
In the following decades, Shi Yu has been active on the screen, and has successively starred in dozens of film and television dramas such as "True Love", "Taiwan Paranormal Incident", "Princess Huaiyu", "The True Color of Money", "Wind and Cloud Huangpu River", "Eighteen Arhats", "Heavenly Love", "Mother is Guilty", "Mother's Heart After Spring", "Starting Heaven" and dozens of other film and television dramas.
And he has never been seen in any regular badminton game, Shi Yu has become a professional actor.

He first came into contact with acting, perhaps out of interest, and has since been acting in various dramas, whether it is the protagonist, supporting role or dragon set, he is happy to participate and does not slacken.
This may be the encouragement of his badminton spirit for many years, and he does not admit defeat on the court, and the same is true in his acting career.
He does not admit defeat, wants to break into his own world in the entertainment industry, and he will not give up and cannot give up until it is realized.
Shi Yu's life philosophy is to "accumulate small into more, take your time".

Now he is still active on the screen, and in recent years he has participated in many dramas such as "Wind and Cloud", "Blind Covenant", "Rational Life", "Top Secret Mission", "Feng Qi Luoyang", "Futuyuan", "Unexpected" and so on.

Shi Yu and his wife Deng Xiuping tied the knot in 1992, and the two have been together for more than 30 years, although he rarely shares his family life with the outside world.
But in the interview, casual chat will make people feel the sweetness of their husband and wife, such as the money he earns will be handed over to his wife, as for how to take care of it, their husband and wife are discussing and never blushing.
From youth to old age, they have been together for more than thirty years, and their feelings are still as strong as they were at the beginning, and they have not faded with the passage of time.
Happy family of three
Shi Yu's son Shi Junru was born in the second year of their marriage, and as a father he also had his own set of educational methods.
Of course, he does not put himself in a position of absolute authority, but respects his son and communicates with him on an equal footing, and in many plays he draws on the scenes of getting along with his son to interpret a loving father to the extreme.
The children of ordinary actors are called the "second generation of stars", and many second generations of stars will also be influenced by their parents to enter the entertainment industry.
But Shi Yu's son did not, he protected him well, did not let him appear in front of the public, but let him go to school like an ordinary child.
Of course, like all fathers who want their son to become a dragon, he hopes that his son can achieve something.
When Shi Junru graduated from junior high school, Shi Yu sent him to Australia to study.
Although his son is far away abroad, and he himself is busy filming in various places, their father-son relationship is not estranged.
They often call each other or chat online, keep in touch and share interesting things happening around them.
Shi Yu often said that the Internet is developed, children will be exposed to a lot of information every day, blindly preaching to them may not listen,
You should communicate like a friend, so that the child can have a sense of trust in himself and influence the child.
So the relationship between their father and son is more like an old friend.
Shi Junru did not live up to his father's expectations of him, his grades have always been good, and his ambition is to become an architect.
Shi Yu was very supportive of this. He doesn't want his son to become a star in the entertainment industry, because this line is not so easy.
Of course, as a son, Shi Junru also likes to watch his father's plays and his roles, and the father and son appreciate each other like this, and each other is getting better and better.
Now Shi Yu is still active on the screen, playing his favorite role, his son has also realized his ideals, and father and son are proud of each other.
