Ma Weijun was born in 1956 in an environment that made it difficult for an ordinary person to break away from his origins. Ma Weijun's father was a pharmaceutical worker, and his mother was a housewife.
Ma Weijun has been very strict since he was a child, and his parents have high expectations for him - they hope that he can study hard, find a stable job in a pharmaceutical factory in the future, and enter the same life trajectory as them.
At the age of 20, Ma Weijun got his wish and joined a large local pharmaceutical company as an ordinary worker. During the day, repeating the operation of the machine, Ma Weijun often found it boring.
One day, an amateur drama troupe came to perform at the pharmaceutical factory. Ma Weijun sat in the first row, watching intently at the actors who were performing on the stage, the passion on their faces touched Ma Weijun, and the charm of the drama also fascinated this young man who was not deeply involved in the world.
Just when Ma Weijun was in a trance, the director of the repertory troupe noticed his sincere and devoted gaze and took the initiative to invite him to join the repertory troupe. To everyone's surprise, Ma Weijun resolutely decided to give up his stable job and chose to follow his inner passion and become an actor.
By chance, Ma Weijun found the career he loved, from a pharmaceutical worker to an excellent drama actor. This is like the arrangement of fate, and it is also the luckiest unexpected joy in Ma Weijun's life.
In order to further improve his acting skills, Ma Weijun chose to go to a famous acting academy in Japan to study Xi. At first, he was not Xi to the way of life in the eastern island countries, especially the language barrier, which made him feel at a loss in this strange environment.
Just when Ma Weijun was facing many hardships alone, a girl also from China extended an olive branch. Her family lives opposite Ma Weijun and often takes the initiative to help him Xi the common sense of Japanese life.
The two gradually got acquainted, and Ma Weijun slowly fell in love with this virtuous and generous girl.
At the end of the Xi, Ma Weijun finally mustered up the courage to confess his heart to the girl on the other side. It turned out that the girl had long been deeply attracted by Ma Weijun's enthusiastic and serious appearance.
The relationship between the two is sublimated from friendship to love, and they find the other half of their lives in a foreign land.
When leaving Japan, the girl reluctantly waved at the airport in tears: "You must come back to see me again!" As a saying goes, Ma Weijun really returned to Japan and entered the palace of marriage with his beloved girl.
This is the woman he is destined for, and Ma Weijun has also found the lover of his life.
In order to better support his family, Ma Weijun chose to return to China to develop his career. With five years of hard experience in Japan, Ma Weijun has long been fluent in Japanese and knows Japanese culture well.
After returning to China, Ma Weijun relied on these unique advantages to successfully play many Japanese officer roles in a series of anti-Japanese film and television dramas.
At first, the role of Ma Weijun was mostly small soldiers and junior officers. But with the superb acting skills of living in Japan for 20 years, the crew and the audience have gradually discovered the special feature of Ma Weijun - he is almost a Japanese! Whether it is language or demeanor, Ma Weijun can interpret the role vividly and deceive the eyes of countless audiences.
In that era when the contradictions between China and Japan had not been completely resolved, Ma Weijun's realistic image of the "Japanese devil" could arouse the audience's anger and hatred, and the dramatic effect was excellent.
As a result, more and more movies and TV series began to focus on portraying Ma Weijun's role as a Japanese officer, from a small soldier, he was slowly promoted to the main villain, becoming a bright spot in and out of the play.
With one work after another and wonderful roles, Ma Weijun has grown from a small actor to the first person to play a Japanese role in the film and television industry. He also became famous because of this, and was dubbed "the first master of playing Little Japan" by the outside world.
This period was the peak of Ma Weijun's acting career, his career reached its peak, his fame rose, and his life was full of glory.
After playing the Japanese for many years, Ma Weijun is eager to transform and show his richer acting skills, no longer limited by the old role framework. The opportunity soon came, and he played the role of Mr. Ding, the branch secretary in the topical crime drama "The World".
Mr. Ding is a grassroots official in a township, who loves the country and the people, and does his best to do things for the villagers. This is similar to the ruthless and cruel Japanese officer played by Ma Weijun in the past.
In order to accurately interpret the character of this good man, Ma Weijun re-examined his life and reflected on what benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith are.
Everyone in the crew was full of praise for Ma Weijun's dedication and performance. In the play, Ma Weijun vividly interpreted the positive character of Mr. Ding, and the warm affinity he showed touched countless audiences and successfully reversed the public's established impression of him.
With this new positive role, Ma Weijun has achieved self-transformation and proved that he will not only play the role of "Japanese devil" well, but also show richer acting connotations. This is his most successful role transformation over the years.
When his career was in full swing, Ma Weijun suddenly received bad news from the doctor - he had advanced throat cancer. This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Ma Weijun, he didn't expect that he would be infected with such a terminal illness when he was in good health.
At first, Ma Weijun fell into deep despair and helplessness. He couldn't believe that God had been so unjust and mercilessly drained his health when he was about to succeed in his career and his family's happiness.
Ma Weijun sat at home all day long, allowing time to slip through his fingers.
His wife couldn't stand it, so she persuaded Ma Weijun to cheer up and go to the best hospital in Tokyo for treatment, maybe there was still a glimmer of hope. Only then did Ma Weijun muster up the courage to face the reality and flew to Tokyo with a glimmer of life.
It is home to the world's most cutting-edge medical technology, and it is also the last straw for Ma Weijun.
However, cancer cells invade faster than doctors diagnose. Even though the famous doctors in Tokyo's major hospitals are fighting endlessly, Ma Weijun's condition is still deteriorating every day. Along with the weakening of his body, a kind of despair of the loss of life also rose in Ma Weijun's heart.
Before his death, Ma asked the doctor to set up a simple video recording device in the ward. He told his wife and daughter his last thoughts, leaving a heart-wrenching sentence and a helpless "goodbye".
After Ma Weijun's death, many people discussed whether he was Chinese or Japanese? He lived in Japan for most of his life, married his son, and still lived a Japanese-style family life.
Even in the end, he chose to sleep in a quiet corner of Tokyo.
However, we cannot deny that Ma Weijun is all Chinese in his bones. Because this body is full of the blood of the Chinese nation. Ma Weijun is enthusiastic and optimistic, attaches great importance to feelings, and attaches great importance to righteousness, which are typical virtues of the Chinese.
And he has developed overseas for many years, gaining fame and fortune, and his career and family have all fulfilled his wishes, but he has never given up his Chinese nationality. He will always remember his Chinese roots.
Ma Weijun is the best annotation of the integration of Chinese and Japanese cultures, and is the messenger of Sino-Japanese friendship.
Ma Weijun became famous for his acting skills, but what is more worthy of being remembered is his burning heart for art, and the precious Chinese feelings in his bones.
This is the spiritual wealth left to us by Ma Weijun, which is worthy of every Chinese to learn and Xi to remember.
