"I haven't been a big brother for many years, I don't love the cold edge of the bed, don't force me to miss, don't force me to cry, I will turn my face..."
For many people after the 80s and 90s, they may not be very familiar with the name Ke Shouliang, but this "Big Brother" must be familiar.
Ke Shouliang's life has too many "legends": flying over the "Valley of Death", flying over the Great Wall, flying over the Yellow River, the most important righteous spirit in his life, so that Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau praised, after his death, he also promoted Ke Shouliang's son Ke Youlun into the music world and show business circle.
In 1953, on a small island in Xiangshan County, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, a little boy fell to the ground and his parents named him Ke Shouliang.
At the age of 2, Ke Shouliang followed his family to Taitung City, Taiwan Province, and because the family's economic conditions were not abundant, Ke Shouliang dropped out of school before he finished junior high school.
At a young age, he took on the burden of the family, went out to sea with his father to fish, the wind and the sun, tanned his skin, and also exercised his adventurous spirit. Every time he came back from fishing, Ke Shouliang's favorite thing to do was to ride around on the second-hand motorcycle he bought, and ride all the way on the vast trail.
Neighbors around him looked at his tanned face and would always tease a few words: "Little black, you drive slowly!" ”
The nickname "Little Black" also followed, becoming his most conspicuous "label".
At the age of 16, Ke Shouliang carried a simple bag on his back and decided to go to Taipei to break into the world, and in the 1960s and 1970s, when the film and television industry was in its infancy, Hong Kong Shaw films occupied half of the country, and their tentacles also reached Taiwan. When there is nothing to do, Ke Shouliang also likes to run to the cinema to see a movie, and his favorite thing is to watch the scene of the drag racing inside, thinking that one day if he can enter the show business circle as an actor.
In 1970, Ke Shouliang signed up for the Star School and was successfully admitted. However, due to limited looks, he can only serve as a pro-memorial and martial artist in the crew, and once he does it, it is 5 years.
In his spare time, Ke Shouliang still did not put down his hobbies, in the crew, driving the newly purchased motorcycle all day long to "fly around", so that the crew sighed and sighed, both worried about his safety, but also marveled at his motorcycle technology.
In 1975, a lucky "stone" fell on Ke Shouliang's head, and this year, Taiwan held a motorcycle obstacle course, and Ke Shouliang gladly signed up, and without any accident, he easily won the championship. At that time, a Hong Kong director was also at the scene of the competition, and after watching Ke Shouliang's motorcycle performance, he came forward to talk with him. I hope he will come to Hong Kong as a martial arts instructor.
Two years later, after completing the things around him, Ke Shouliang got on a plane to Hong Kong, where he began a legendary life.
In 1977, after entering the Hong Kong show business, Ke Berrion began to work as a martial arts instructor, and also starred in some insignificant small supporting roles in some movies.
In the show business circle for 5 years, because of a lot of dangerous actions are he personally put on the battlefield, won a lot of fame in the circle, there are some savings around, however, because of the righteousness, there are friends around there is a need, always fight for righteousness and loose money, money comes fast, go fast.
In 1982, after Zeng Zhiwei joined the "New Art City", he sharpened his knife and began to prepare for the film "Best Partner" from actor to director, but while the film was filming, Zeng Zhiwei encountered a "bottleneck", and there was a scene in the movie where the motorcycle crashed through the glass from the tall building to the ground, which was very thrilling, but at the same time the risk factor was particularly high.
Contacted a lot of Hong Kong stuntmen do not dare to take this job, no matter how much money is given, it is important to save their lives. Helplessly, Zeng Zhiwei found Ke Shouliang.
Unexpectedly, Ke Shouliang agreed without saying a word.
When filming, Zeng Zhiwei was still very worried, and called two ambulances early, afraid that Ke Shouliang would have an accident, but he did not expect that Ke Shouliang completed the task perfectly and won the applause of the whole hall. After the release of the movie, that thrilling car scene has also become the object of hong Kong audiences.
Ke Shouliang became famous in the First World War. In 1984, he began to work as a stunt performer in Jackie Chan's movie "Fast Food Truck", and many of the dangerous actions of the flying car were completed by Ke Shouliang. In the film, Ke Shouliang also starred as a very comedic racing driver, a small.
After that, he almost became Jackie Chan's "royal stuntman", and then in 1986, he served as a stunt director for Jackie Chan's film "Dragon Brother Tiger Brother".
Between 1987 and 1992, two "feats" were accomplished: in 1987, he rode a motorcycle to leap 80 meters wide, known as the "Death Valley" in Taiwan's Taoyuan Haihu Grand Canyon, and in 1992, he rode a motorcycle at a speed of about 100 miles from north to south and jumped over the 30-meter-wide opening above the Great Wall Beacon and landed safely.
In terms of stunt performances, Ke Shouliang is undoubtedly already the "big brother" of the industry, but in the show business circle, Ke Shouliang is also a well-deserved "big brother".
Andy Lau debuted a few years later than Ke Shouliang, at that time, Andy Lau was not yet the well-known king of heaven, when filming, he received a lot of care from Ke Shouliang, and when he came and went, he became a good friend who talked about everything.
Years later, when talking about Ke Shouliang, Andy Lau still remembers this "little black brother".
In the album released by Andy Lau that year, a song "Lone Star Tears" was still taught by Ke Shouliang to sing.
Since meeting in 1986, I have witnessed many things about the little black brother along the way, including the performance of the flying car, including the scene of Ke Shouliang chasing the girl.
Every time he saw Ke Shouliang complete a dangerous action, he inevitably pinched a handful of sweat for his good brother. Later, Andy Lau gradually played a piece of the world and became a superstar of the Heavenly King, but even if he was very busy, he would still accompany Ke Shouliang when he had a flying car performance.
In 1997, when Hong Kong was returned to the motherland, Ke Shouliang chose to fly over the Yellow River, and Andy Lau appeared on the scene to cheer for his good brothers. It wasn't until he saw Ke Shouliang land safely that a hanging heart fell.
At that time, this high-risk and costly move was not encouraged, and Ke Shouliang almost lost his family to buy the equipment, at that time, it was the song god Jacky Cheung who sponsored 500,000 yuan for free.
In 1998, Andy Lau collaborated with Ke Shouliang and Wu Zongxian on the song "Stupid Child", which has been sung to this day. The song records their friendship along the way, as well as their brotherhood.
However, in 2003, Ke Shouliang suddenly passed away, the dangerous flying car performance did not take his life, but because of excessive drinking and asthma worsened, suddenly died, ending his life at the age of 50.
When he died, many friends in the circle went to mourn, including Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan, Zeng Zhiwei and so on.
After his death, his friends Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau did not forget this good brother and continued to take care of his children, and the eldest son Ke Youlun also entered the music scene with the help of Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau, becoming Jay Chou's little disciple.
When Ke Shouliang's daughter got married, Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau personally sat in the town and sent their daughters to marry instead of Ke Shouliang, which was a temporary scenery.
Life is impermanent, a generation of "big brothers" have come to an end, only his legends of the rivers and lakes continue to circulate in the rivers and lakes, enduring and becoming legends.
