A tumultuous childhood
In 1941, on a cold and windy winter day, Chen Songyong cried blood and fell to the ground and came to this world. He was born in a lonely and impoverished family in Taiwan, and has been dependent on his parents since he was a child.
It was supposed to be a carefree childhood, but it was devastated by a ruthless fate.
When he was 15 years old, Chen Songyong's father died of illness, and this warm little family was shattered. On his deathbed, his father told him to take good care of his mother, but he was still at the age of growing his body, and his physical strength was limited, and the family could no longer open the pot.
In desperation, Chen Songyong had to drop out of school and join an underworld gang, hoping to make ends meet.
During this time, Chen Songyong, who was only 16 years old, had seen too many dirty and dirty things. followed a group of stinky big brothers all day long, and saw that they didn't grab the land and collect protection money, and they got a lot of illegitimate food. Only in the void would he secretly think of his mother, whether the sick body could support it. Two lines of tears are already a luxury.
The leap development of the road of acting
At the age of 22, Chen Songyong and his brothers in the underworld were once again involved in a dispute over land grabbing and were chased by the police to the end of their rope. In extreme panic, he fled into a filming crew, and unintentionally inserted willows, changing the trajectory of his life.
Hiding in the group performance for a few days, Chen Songyong looked at the actors who entered the state as soon as the director said "start", and his heart swelled with an unprecedented yearning - he also wanted to be an actor and perform under the spotlight.
So, he plucked up the courage to bid farewell to his underworld career and officially entered the showbiz industry.
At first, Chen Songyong, who did not have any acting foundation and connections, could only start from the trick. In order to gain a foothold in this highly competitive industry, he worked diligently, no matter how hard and dangerous the work was, just to leave an impression in the director's heart.
In this way, Chen Songyong mixed up for 10 years, and finally got a supporting role in a TV series when he was in his 30s, and the moment the first actor contract was signed, he was so excited that he burst into tears.
At the age of 37, Chen Songyong was strongly recommended by his friends to play the starring role for the first time, and he became a blockbuster in the movie "City of Sadness" and went straight to the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor.
For a while, his name was unknown to everyone, and he became a popular student with a bright future. We rejoice in his earth-shattering success and pay tribute to this wonderful actor in front of us.
The pinnacle of glory after the "Thunder Tiger".
Time has passed, and at the age of 51, Chen Songyong ushered in the peak of his acting career. Jet Li was dubbed the "invincible king of the universe", officially entered Hollywood, and started filming his debut film "Fang Shiyu".
For the box office benefit of real money, Mr. Li has a strong lineup and a star-studded lineup. Yang Dengkui recommended Chen Songyong to audition for the role of Lei Laohu, this role seems to be mediocre, but it urgently needs a senior with excellent acting skills to interpret.
"Thunder Tiger killed! Sounds like a capital crime!" Fang Shiyu clapped his hands and shouted, seeing that the Thunder Tiger had reached the realm of death. Chen Songyong tried his best, his eyes bulging, revealing a hideous face.
"...... In order to...... Morality...... Wear...... People ......" He struggled to spit out these words, which immediately attracted laughter from the audience, and the audience couldn't stop laughing and clapping their hands.
This scene successfully created a little person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and highlighted the image of Fang Shiyu who was benevolent, righteous and moral, and the tacit cooperation on the screen helped this movie.
Since then, Chen Songyong has successfully portrayed a ruthless and intriguing villain image with his excellent performance and superb acting skills, leaving an indelible mark on the name "Lei Laohu" in the hearts of fans.
With the astonishing series of box office records in Hong Kong and Taiwan, Chen Songyong has also become a synonym for "pasting people with virtue" that everyone knows in the three places on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
He also took this opportunity to detonate the peak of his career again and opened a new chapter in his acting career in the late middle age.
The world of forbearance and personal emotion
Chen Songyong, whose career is in full swing, has an extremely dull personal life. He devoted all his energy to his acting career and never had a sincere love until he grew old.
When he was not careful, Chen Songyong also had a crush on a girl. She was dressed plainly, but her gestures were bookish, which was in stark contrast to him, a small citizen of the market.
It's a pity that due to family constraints, Chen Songyong didn't dare to open his mouth to date her. He could only look at her from afar on the way out of school every day, watching her leave while he sighed in place.
Later, I heard that she was admitted to university and became a teacher as she wished. There is no chance to see each other again, and this young crush can only be sealed forever.
After entering the industry, Chen Songyong had no time to talk about feelings. His busy shooting schedule takes up almost all of his time, and he needs to study his role seriously when he returns home. He is over half a hundred years old, and he has gained fame and fortune, but he has never met the girl who makes him excited.
I had to go with my work, day after day. Occasionally, when I am free, I will laugh at myself, and I am like an "old man who lives alone", except for the wine that must be drunk every hour, I have nothing to rely on.
We can't help but sigh for Chen Songyong's lonely life, this forbearant personal emotional world actually needs warmth and care.
Be grateful for the warmth around you
In his twilight years, Chen Songyong's health deteriorated, and it was very difficult to live alone. In desperation, he hired a maid named Yule from Indonesia to help take care of his daily life.
What kind of girl would leave her hometown and come to a foreign land to care for a dying old man? Yule comes from an ordinary rural family in Indonesia, where both parents died and she is supporting her two younger siblings.
She followed the intermediary's arrangement to work in Taiwan, but she didn't expect to meet this grumpy and sick old man.
At first, Chen Songyong was arrogant to her, and he was furious at the slightest disappointment. But Yule never returned the mouth, just silently served him, bringing water and food, tidying up the room, and changing the dressing.
Gradually, Chen Songyong was moved by her deference, as if he had seen his mother when he was young. So he began to affectionately call her "Yule", and Yule began to call him "Abba".
came and went, and there was a father-daughter relationship between the two.
Before dying, Chen Songyong deliberately left all his savings of NT$200,000 to Yule to repay her for taking care of her over the years and allowing her to study and live a good life.
We are grateful for the gratitude in the old man's heart, and we are also grateful for the warmth that Yule brought to him.
The vicissitudes of life
In the past 80 years, Chen Songyong's life has entered its twilight years. His life has been full of ups and downs, and extraordinary experiences have long carved the mark of vicissitudes on his face. Before dying, he made a difficult decision - to give up treatment and choose to die with dignity.
Doctors suggested that dialysis and intubation could delay the situation for several years, but Chen Songyong shook his head decisively at the thought of the pain of life being worse than death. He was unwilling to struggle to survive in the face of illness, and only wanted to leave happily.
The old warbler returns to the forest, and the water comes naturally; The lotus leaves are ruthless, and the autumn wind falls. After 80 years of ups and downs, he has seen it clearly.
Yule, who was waiting at the bedside, heard this decision, and tears couldn't stop flowing. She clenched Chen Songyong's wrinkled hand, and wanted to persuade him to try again, even if there was a glimmer of hope.
Chen Songyong didn't lose his temper this time, but just patted her hand gently, indicating that he had made up his mind.
As Yule cried out "Abba" in a heart-rending cry, Chen Songyong narrowed his eyes and seemed to see a gentle and beautiful woman waving goodbye to him - it was the girl he had a crush on when he was young.
She was still as bright as she remembered, as always.
At the last moment, Chen Songyong seemed to have returned to the years when he fought and killed his brothers in the underworld. They are going hand in hand, fearlessly.
Chen Songyong gently closed his eyes, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and passed away peacefully. His life was extraordinary, but ultimately fulfilling. What has been left to the world is not only the classic screen image of "Thunder Tiger", but also the famous saying that carries thousands of years - "Some people are alive, but he is dead; Some people are dead, and he is still alive.
