There is another sad news in the Hong Kong film industry, the well-known action actor Yu Yuanwen recently passed away at the age of 80.
Yu Yuanwen has a long history in the Hong Kong film industry, having been Tang Jili's master and a member of the Liu family class. Known for his superb martial arts skills and years of film experience, he became Lau Kar-leung's younger brother and served as a stand-in for Jackie Chan. However, after his glory days in the entertainment industry, he chose to fade out and switch careers to engage in antique trading.
This decision, which is different from the film industry, makes his life more colorful.
First of all, Yu Yuanwen, as a senior practitioner of Hong Kong films, has experienced the ups and downs of the Hong Kong film industry in his life. Join Lau Ka Ban and participate in the shooting of classic action movies, a glorious history that has witnessed the prosperity of Hong Kong films.
Yu Yuanwen rose to prominence in the 60s, participating in films such as "The One-Armed Sword King", showcasing his excellent martial arts skills and profound attainment of acting. His struggle and efforts have contributed to the rise of Hong Kong films.
Secondly, Yu Yuanwen's cooperation with action movie stars such as Jackie Chan and Liu Jialiang is also part of his high-profile film industry.
As Liu Jialiang's younger brother, he served as Jackie Chan's stand-in in the film, showing a very high level of professionalism. In those days when there were no special effects, action actors needed more practical skills and courage. Yu Yuanwen's agility and excellent performance skills presented the audience with thrilling fight scenes and left a deep impression.
However, Yu Yuanwen's life is not limited to the film industry.
After he faded out of the entertainment industry, he chose another lifestyle and changed his career to engage in antique trading. This shift demonstrates his versatility and diverse understanding of life. Antique trading requires not only familiarity with history and culture, but also unique vision and market insight. Yu Yuanwen's choice shows his deep thinking about his life, and also reflects that behind the entertainment career, every practitioner is an ordinary person with a multifaceted life.
On the other hand, Yu Yuanwen's death has also triggered people's thinking about the profession of action actor. Action actors are an important and dangerous profession in the film, and they need to play a variety of dangerous scenes in the film to present a shocking picture for the audience. However, this also comes with great physical stress and risk.
Yu Yuanwen excelled in his acting career, but it may also be that the physical burden of these high-intensity action scenes ultimately affected his health.
From this point of view, we should pay more attention to the occupational protection and health of action actors. The prosperity and development of the film industry is inseparable from these behind-the-scenes workers who pay silently, and their efforts are often hidden behind seemingly easy action scenes.
Strengthening the physical protection, vocational training and medical security of action actors is an issue that needs urgent attention and improvement in the industry.
Finally, Yu Yuanwen's life has brought us enlightenment for the pursuit of life and diversified development. He chooses different lifestyles at different stages, showing respect and pursuit for individual life.
Whether it is shining in the film industry or precipitating his mood in the antique trade, he is experiencing and pursuing the meaning of life in his own way. This respect for pluralistic development and the value of the individual should serve as a model for society's understanding and acceptance of each individual.
Overall, Yu Yuanwen's death makes people feel a lot of emotion. He left a strong mark on the golden age of Hong Kong cinema and dedicated many classics to the audience.
His diverse life choices also give us thoughts and inspiration for life. And when dealing with the special profession of action actors, we should pay more attention to their professional protection and physical health. May Yu Yuan rest in peace, leaving us with deep thoughts on movies, life and career.
