In 2020, the 39th Hong Kong Film Awards had to cancel the physical awards ceremony and instead award it online. In the list of recipients of this award, the most noteworthy is the anti-cancer fighter Zhang Daming.
For the name Zhang Daming, many people may feel unfamiliar, but when you see the face he was young, you will definitely feel familiar. He is the sad and happy emperor who sits in the harem beauty three thousand in "The Great Inner Secret Agent Zero Zero Hair", he is also the joyful tooth rubbing Su in "God of Gamblers 3: The Young God of Gamblers", he has played countless impressive roles in Chow Sing Chi's movies, although he has been doing the work of green leaves, but in the most popular years, he is also the golden supporting role of Zhou Xingchi that everyone envies.
At that time, a "Shape King Song Shijie" was also regarded as making this articulate, intelligent and alert image of the shape master popular on the screen, which was also one of the few protagonists in his days as an actor.
However, Zhang Daming's acting career was forced to be suspended in 2012. During the rehearsal of the stage play "Flower Heart Big Husband 2", Zhang Daming had symptoms such as tinnitus, nasal congestion and even nosebleeds, and was diagnosed with stage III nasopharyngeal cancer after going to the hospital. Since then, Zhang Daming has embarked on a long road to fight cancer, and the "anti-cancer warrior" has also come from this.
As an actor, Zhang Daming has made his official debut in 1991, although he has produced countless works, he has never set off much of a storm. The love of acting made him always adhere to the position of actor, and the diagnosis of cancer undoubtedly gave him a blow, and he had to give up his beloved acting career to concentrate on treatment.
On the road to anti-cancer, Zhang Daming has tasted the warmth and coldness of human feelings. Frequent radiation therapy and chemotherapy made Zhang Daming's millions of savings soon bottom out, and his life was stretched, the house was not saved, and he lost his financial resources. The phrase "misfortune is not a single line" has also been interpreted more differently in Zhang Daming.
Anti-cancer is already tortured, and Zhang Daming is unfortunate because of chemotherapy and heavy metals in the body seriously exceeded the standard, up to 63 times the number of normal people, muscle atrophy in the detoxification process also followed, more frightening is that the impact of radiotherapy on the brain also makes him at any time may face the risk of brain tumors. Under the torment of multiple diseases, Zhang Daming became skinny and rugged, and never saw the spirit of the past.
At the most difficult time, he also had the idea of taking his own life, and even made a will, but he was so reluctant to think of his wife and children who were always with him. Fortunately, Zhang Daming's popularity is good enough, and in his moments of crisis, there are always people who lend him a helping hand.
Wu Junru gave the resources in his hand to Zhang Daming, Andy Lau and Gu Tianle directly gave him financial help, and Wu Zhenyu invited him to star in his own works and paid a high salary in disguise. Zhou Runfa encouraged Zhang Daming to run and exercise, and even personally went to the door to supervise the running, even if he went out to shoot a scene, he would also monitor the remote telephone, with the help of Zhou Runfa, Zhang Daming slowly ran from the beginning of 500 meters, slowly ran to 3 kilometers, the mental state is more and more full, in the show even if there is no makeup and the cheeks are rosy.
Speaking of friends' help, there's also a vignette of him and Star-Lord. When Zhang Daming was at his most depressed, Xingye had given him a glimmer of hope, and Zhang Daming also flew directly to the scene to participate in the audition of "Yangtze River Seven", and finally Xingye's sentence "return to Hong Kong and other news" directly extinguished all his expectations. Zhang Daming, who was already poor and destitute, also had to take the road fare for this, and Zhang Daming was even more bluntly disappointed, believing that Zhou Xingchi was abandoning him, and the two did not cooperate after this incident. In this regard, many netizens believe that Zhou Xingchi is willing to give zhang Daming the opportunity to audition, the original intention is also to help him, perhaps just a simple role does not match, so that the two miss the opportunity to cooperate, after all, Xingye is a movie-first person, and now Zhang Daming has comeback, netizens are also looking forward to seeing the cooperation between the two again.
In 2016, Zhang Daming, who had endured four years of anti-cancer suffering, finally triumphed, and after recovering, he made a decision that surprised everyone - divorce. Zhang Daming's wife, Ho Nian-ci, is a Hong Kong psychologist who has a son and a daughter after marriage, and has always been a model for loving couples in the entertainment industry. After Zhang Daming suffered from cancer, his wife has also been accompanying him, and in the most difficult time, the two chose to move forward hand in hand, but they did not think that they had just walked out of the darkness and wanted to divorce. The once loving couple did not grow old in vain. The explanation given by Zhang Daming in this regard is that he has delayed his wife too much time and does not want to drag the other party down, and there is also news that in fact, during the illness, Zhang Daming has repeatedly filed for divorce, but his wife resolutely disagrees before insisting on it so far. Perhaps Zhang Daming feels that only his own recovery can make his wife leave at ease, and he does not have to be morally kidnapped. If such news is true, Zhang Daming is undoubtedly the best destroyer of "husband and wife are originally the same forest bird, and the great disaster is about to fly separately".
Fortunately, Zhang Daming's career after the divorce is still relatively smooth. After his comeback, his partner Aaron Kwok participated in the movie "Mai Luren", and his wonderful performance in the play directly broke his breakthrough at the Academy Awards. It is not easy to insist on acting after returning from cancer, and this time, Zhang Daming was able to be crowned as a film emperor at the age of 56, and finally gave the most authoritative certification for his acting skills.
As early as 1996, Zhang Daming presided over the Academy Awards ceremony, and in 2018, Zhang Daming also performed Dong Du laugh on the Stage of the Golden Film Awards, which caused the guests to laugh continuously, and in 2019, he appeared on the red carpet of the Academy Awards with Peng Xiuhui. And this time it was finally his turn to appear as the protagonist, but due to the impact of the epidemic, he could not present the award normally, and even on the day of the online award ceremony, Zhang Daming also missed the live broadcast due to his nap, for such a award ceremony, I don't know if Zhang Daming's heart will be deeply regretted.
In fact, many people do not know that Zhang Daming's profession is not acting, but script creation, and he has also provided many excellent works for the audience behind the scenes. As early as 1992, he won the Best Director and Best Screenplay Awards at the 1st Hong Kong Stage Drama Awards for his self-written and self-directed film "A Distant Journey to the Countryside". In 2018, he also won the 24th Huading Award, which is undoubtedly the biggest recognition of him by the public. Many people think that compared to acting, in fact, Zhang Daming is more suitable for being a screenwriter, but the love of acting has made Zhang Daming willing to play a supporting role for decades, and now he has won one of the three major awards of Chinese films, the Hong Kong Film Awards, which is also the best reward for his "half-life green leaves".
Nowadays, he has returned from the successful fight against cancer, compared with the past, he has more open-mindedness, when asked by the host in the interview what suggestions to give to seriously ill people, he said that life and old age and death are the things that must be done in life, and it is even more blunt that a good mood is the key to treatment. In the face of depressed patients, it is even more recommended to go out and get close to nature. It can be seen that this man who came out of the trough of life now has a more different understanding of life.
