On December 17, 2023, the Fujian Peking Opera Art Heritage and Protection Center released a sad obituary, announcing the death of the famous Peking Opera performance artist Mr. Li Youbin.
So is it really Li Yunlong in the Bright Sword who is gone???
The truth is that no, this Li Youbin is not Li Youbin, and it was an elderly Peking Opera veteran artist who passed away due to illness this time! It was not the familiar Li Yunlong.
Mr. Li's passing is undoubtedly a great loss to the mainland Peking Opera industry, and his talent and contributions will be remembered forever.
Mr. Li Youbin is a versatile and accomplished artist who has dedicated his life to the art of Peking Opera. In addition to being an excellent actor, he is also a national first-class director, and has won the "Lifetime Achievement Award" from the Chinese Opera Performance Society, which is a high recognition of his outstanding contributions to the field of Peking Opera art. In addition, he was awarded the "Outstanding Contribution Award" by the Fujian Peking Opera Company.
Mr. Li not only excelled in Peking Opera, but also committed to cultivating a new generation of Peking Opera talents. In 1971, he began his career as an actor and opera director, and under his guidance, many excellent works were born. For example, the play "The True and False Monkey King" written and directed by him has been performed more than 500 times across the country, and the venue is full and has a great impact. This work was later filmed as a Peking Opera film by Zhujiang Film Studio, and achieved great success at home and abroad, becoming a classic of mainland opera films.
According to public information, Li Youbin transferred to the Fujian Peking Opera Troupe in 1953 as a martial arts actor, starring in "Fa Zidu", "Jiepai Pass", "Wu Song Fights the Tiger", "Flower Butterfly", "Pick Hua Che", "Earn Licheng", "One Arrow Revenge", "Baishuitan", "Sijie Village", "Qianyuan Mountain", "Eighteen Arhats Fight Wukong" and other dramas.
As an outstanding Peking Opera artist, Mr. Li Youbin has become one of the important witnesses to the establishment and development of the Fujian Peking Opera Company. He has had a profound influence on the development of Peking Opera art, and has dedicated his strength to the inheritance and development of Peking Opera art throughout his life. We are deeply saddened by his passing, but his legacy will continue to inspire us forward.
This incident has aroused heated discussions among netizens, and they have expressed their personal opinions, let's see what netizens say!
"I thought it was Li Yunlong in the Bright Sword who died, and it scared me!"
"It's Li Youbin who passed away, not familiar with Li Youbin"
Overall, Mr. Li Youbin is a treasure in the Peking Opera world, and his life is full of glory and glory. His talent, passion, and dedication to the art of Peking Opera have made him an indispensable part of the history of Peking Opera. May he go all the way, may his spirit live on, and inspire more people to devote themselves to the great art form of Peking Opera.
Finally, I wish Mr. Li Youbin all the best!
