"National first-class actor", a title that many people are familiar with, is regarded as one of the highest honors in the field of literature and art.
Similar titles such as "first-class actor" or "second-level actor" are actually titles in the art world, from level 1 to level 4, representing titles from senior to junior.
However, in fact, in the official documents, only the position of coach has the expression "national level", so it can be called "national coach".
For other titles, the official does not use the prefix "country", so the term "national first-class actor" is more out of habitual titles.
In general, the list of first-class actors rarely changes. Only if the actors involved have committed serious violations of the law or have done something inconsistent with the evaluation criteria will they be considered for removal from the list of first-class actors.
Unexpectedly, among the actors who were excluded from the ranks of first-class actors, they actually included Jet Li, Gong Li, Chen Chong, and Siqin Gaova.
These actors are all superb in acting and have brought many excellent acting works to the audience. So, why are they culled?
Jet li

"Shaolin Temple" may have a box office of more than 15 billion, and you must know that the box office of the top-grossing movie in the mainland has not exceeded 6 billion.
After the movie "Shaolin Temple", Jet Li wanted to continue making movies.

"He said of course I was just thinking, I wasn't that stupid and not so impulsive.

epilogue
Jet Li, Gong Li, Chen Chong, and Siqin Gaova are all outstanding acting talents, however, their nationality is not Chinese, which stems from their choice to naturalize as citizens of other countries for various reasons.
Therefore, it is reasonable that they are not included in China's national first-class actor list.
Choosing to accept foreign nationality is a personal decision, and each person has their own unique reasons and considerations. Some people may do it for work or life needs, while others may do it for personal beliefs or family reasons.
However, for whatever reason, we should not ignore or negate their remarkable achievements and contributions to society because they have changed their nationality.
