Ma Junwei announced his retirement from the front of the screen and ended his acting career
With a hint of sadness in the humid air, 52-year-old Ma Junwei arrived at the press conference with heavy steps. Under the silver-white sideburns is a face that has faded from its former brilliance, and the loneliness in his eyes is self-evident.
He took a deep breath and announced to the camera in a slightly trembling and slow tone: he has decided to quit the front of the camera and will no longer participate in any TV, film, theater and other acting work.
As soon as such remarks came out, the originally chaotic footage came to an abrupt end. The reporters present looked at each other with expressions of disbelief. Subsequently, the whispers came and went, and Ma Junwei's statement was undoubtedly like thunder, which caught people off guard.
This means that he has ended his performance career in the audiovisual industry for more than 30 years, and many viewers may never see this old artist again, and they are immediately full of emotion.
Ma Junwei also said that he will release a new career plan next month, and said that the farewell concert in Hong Kong in November has become the last stage performance in his life.
There was a hint of sadness in his resolute tone, as if he was bidding farewell to the world of show business that had given him so much joy and glory.
Ma Junwei's career reflects the changes of the times
When Ma Junwei debuted as a dashing teenager in the 90s of the 20th century, the whole of Hong Kong was still immersed in the afterglow of British colonial rule. He first made a name for himself in the music scene with his clear singing voice, and soon successfully transformed into TV series such as "Wonderful Hands and Benevolence", which was loved by the audience.
Ma Junwei in the camera has grown from a hairy doctor to a leading young man. The youthful face of the year gradually faded, replaced by a heroic middle-aged appearance.
For 30 years, Ma Junwei has persistently performed one after another popular classic characters, witnessing the changes of the city from heroic posture to sovereignty transfer.
In 1997, when the "wind and rain" was in turmoil, Ma Junwei was at the peak of his career. He successfully portrayed the historical role of Emperor Kangxi in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", which left a deep impression on thousands of audiences and was known as the "eternal Kangxi".
This not only shows his excellent acting skills, but also becomes a landscape in the memory of many people in that turbulent era.
Time has passed, and when Ma Junwei announced his retirement from the circle, Hong Kong has been returning to the embrace of the motherland for 26 years. When the city is about to enter the next time scale, the end of Ma Junwei's acting career is like the end of a generation's memory, which is embarrassing.
Ma Junwei, who grew up with Hong Kong, also completed this unique legend at the intersection of fate.
His physical condition forced him to withdraw from the circle
In fact, Ma Junwei's physical condition is not as healthy as it seems on the outside. He suffers from mild tachycardia and has been on medication for many years to control his mood to avoid panic attacks.
You can't eat seafood in your life, and you can't afford to be allergic to food and drugs. However, the hard work of the entertainment industry has made his physical functions in a state of high tension at all times.
During the rehearsal of the farewell concert in Hong Kong in November, Ma Junwei suddenly caught a cold and fever. Shortly after he took a box of cold medicine, he developed a severe allergic reaction to the drug.
I saw that his hands were clenched to his chest, his face turned pale, and he was struggling with sweat, accompanied by the terrible sight of blood gushing from his tongue. The staff rushed him to first aid, and it was not easy to save his life.
Despite the dangerous situation, in order to complete the farewell performance, Ma Junwei endured the pain and stood on the stage. He apologized softly to his fans, and then sang all the songs with bated breath.
The scene was silent, and everyone was impressed by Ma Junwei's stubborn spirit. But this is also the limit of his physical functions, and he can no longer support it after the performance, so he has to choose to retire from the circle to recuperate.
Retreat without stopping, turn to cultural communication
"I'm just leaving the audiovisual world for a while, but I'm not going to retire from it. Ma Junwei resolutely declared at the press conference on withdrawing from the circle. He said that considering the reality of his health, he had to suspend his acting career.
However, he has planned a new battlefield in his mind.
This is the field of cultural communication. Ma Chun-wai revealed that since the beginning of this year, he has successively held important positions in a number of Hong Kong arts groups and the government's cultural departments. One of the most interesting is the news that Ma Junwei may be in charge of a large fund to promote a series of cultural construction projects.
This is undoubtedly another stage where it can exert its influence and promote the inheritance of Chinese culture.
After retiring from the circle, Ma Junwei is still full of vitality. He said that he has rich experience in cultural communication, and will give full play to the expertise of actors and hosts to create more diversified cultural products and make them accessible at home and abroad through digital communication channels.
This is a long-term and arduous mission. But Ma Junwei is full of confidence and believes that with perseverance, he will be able to create another peak of his career.
Mixed with joy and sorrow, another legend begins
When the news of Ma Junwei's withdrawal from the circle spread rapidly on the Internet, many viewers couldn't help but red-eyed. I don't know how many days and nights this name has accompanied them.
Doctor Pony in the Heart...... These familiar faces and sparkling eyes seem to be still vivid.
And now, Ma Junwei said goodbye indifferently like this, and couldn't help but evoke people's endless memories and nostalgia.
Indeed, when the 52-year-old Ma Junwei stepped off the acting stage, people couldn't help but sigh that time and youth were no longer there. For more than 30 years, he has worked hard and dedicated so much in this circle.
But after thinking about it, Ma Junwei was in the year of fighting, and he withdrew from the bustling hustle and bustle and cumbersome shackles, and perhaps ushered in a more exciting and wonderful life for him.
"I will continue to shine in the field of culture and start another legend!" Ma Junwei made a promise to the camera in a firm tone. Looking to the future, we look forward to whether there will be more unexpected and wonderful deeds in the second half of his life to continue to light up this cultural starry sky.
