The role of Kangxi in "Kangxi Dynasty", played by actor Ma Junwei, has become the pinnacle of his acting career. Recently, however, there was the shocking news that he had announced his retirement from the front of the camera, which attracted widespread attention. This veteran actor has experienced ups and downs in his career, but this time the decision to withdraw from the circle caught people off guard and caused endless thinking.
Ma Junwei not only resigned from his hosting job at a radio station in Hong Kong, but also said that he would say goodbye to the performance of stage plays, movies and TV series. The shocking decision not only upset his fans, but also sparked a lot of speculation in the media and the public about the real reason behind his departure.
At a critical juncture in an actor's career, Ma Junwei revealed that he is about to undergo a huge shift in his work and will announce a new work plan next month. And his farewell concert in November drew a touching end to his acting career.
Looking back on Ma Junwei's acting career, his star journey can be described as brilliant. Since his official debut as a singer in 1993, he has quickly risen to prominence with his outstanding performances in "Wonderful Hands and Benevolence" and "The Legend of Deer and Ding", which has not only achieved great success in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but also won wide recognition in the mainland.
However, after filming "Palace Scheming 2" in 2018, he chose to leave Hong Kong TVB and switch to mainland TV dramas, and succeeded again. This departure seems to have opened a new chapter in his career.
In addition to his outstanding performance in the acting industry, Ma Junwei also decided to return to school at the age of nearly 50 to pursue a master's degree at Peking University and a Chinese medicine program at Baptist University. Such academic achievements not only demonstrate his pursuit of knowledge, but also earn him more respect.
When people thought that he would continue to shine in his acting career, he announced his retirement from the front of the camera, and such an indecisive decision made people curious about his future.
Speculation about his possible entry into politics was rampant during this period. He has been a designated member of the Theatre Development Sub-committee of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department since November 2022 and a member of the Film and Media Arts Area of the Hong Kong Arts Development Council. These positions seem to have opened the door to new areas for him, and the Hong Kong media has speculated that he may be involved in politics.
Ma insisted that he was not a civil servant and that his position was entirely voluntary and unremunerated. He said that he was willing to promote the development of theater in Hong Kong and the mainland through these obligations, which made people more curious about his movements.
Ma Junwei once said that the road to stardom is very short, but as an artist, the road to acting is very long. He has been serving as a principal, committee member and other positions, and his low-key and healthy image has made him a clear stream in the entertainment industry. He has no star baggage and pays more attention to a deep understanding of the performing arts, which has earned him a lot of respect in the industry.
Recently, Ma Junwei was allergic to a cold during a concert held in Hong Kong, and was even hospitalized due to the deterioration of his physical condition. However, despite the hardships and dangers, he still persevered in completing the performance, showing his dedication to art. According to the report, he suffered from panic disorder for many years and carried medication with him every day.
During last month's concert, he almost died of allergies, but he still chose to keep performing. Did this period of physical ordeal make Ma Junwei determined to quit the showbiz?
In addition, the report also mentioned Ma Junwei's good relationship with Fok Kai-kong, chairman of the Hong Kong Arts Development Council. Fok Qigang has repeatedly expressed his appreciation for Ma Junwei and thanked him for his support in his work. This tacit understanding and cooperation may have provided solid support for his development in different fields.
Ma Junwei's decision to withdraw from the circle has sparked widespread speculation from the media and fans. His upcoming new work plan is in the public spotlight. Despite his brilliant achievements in the entertainment industry, his future direction remains shrouded in mystery, giving rise to expectations for the veteran actor's decision.
Perhaps, this is another huge turning point in his career, and the actor will face new challenges and possibilities in a new field.
At this moment, I can't help but think of his affectionate performance in "Kangxi Dynasty", every look and every action is deeply engraved in the hearts of the audience. It was an ancient era, but the image of Kangxi he created with his solid acting skills has lasted for a long time. Perhaps it is precisely because of this unique understanding of performance that he has been able to create miracles repeatedly in his acting career.
And his farewell concert was a touching farewell ceremony, and fans flocked to the venue to say goodbye to their idols up close.
At this moment of farewell, he uses music to tell his heart, and each song seems to tell the bits and pieces of his acting career. Perhaps, for him, this concert is not only a farewell, but also a review of the past and expectations for the future.
