At 11:04 p.m. on April 3, 2022, a sad news quietly spread on the Internet - Mr. Jin Di, a famous film performance artist in the mainland, died suddenly of illness at his home in Beijing at the age of 89.
This unexpected bad news, after spreading all over the country the next morning, instantly set off a huge wave of shock and grief among the film and television industry and ordinary audiences.
"Impossible, this is obviously fake news, right?" Many were stunned and couldn't believe their ears. Because a week before Teacher Jindi's death, everyone also brushed her energetic appearance in a TV show through the circle of friends.
She was full of sunshine, enthusiastically recalling with her old friends the bits and pieces of studying at the drama academy, and her eyebrows fluttered like she had returned to her youth.
But the facts are right in front of us, forcing everyone to accept this cruel fact - Teacher Jindi left us silently. Her life, which is nearly ninety years old, is quietly extinguished like a candle flame.
In addition to the shock, more people couldn't help but shed tears of grief. Because in their hearts, Teacher Jindi is like a kind elder. Her warm, kind, wise and elegant pictures have been integrated into the depths of countless people's memories.
In his long artistic career, Mr. Jindi has not created many screen images. However, it is these few characters that are deeply imprinted in the minds of countless audiences, inspiring generations to move forward bravely on the road of growth.
She played Kong Shuzhen in the classic film "The Young People in Our Village", a vigorous and enthusiastic rural girl. Her strong, optimistic, lively and cheerful personality has inspired countless young women who have grown up in New China to pursue independence and not let their eyebrows be shaved.
In "Flowers and Full Moon", the image of Yuan Xiaojun created by Mr. Jindi is unforgettable - a smart, diligent, witty and brave peasant boy who does not lose his heart in the change of the environment and continues to stick to his dreams.
This role has inspired countless young people who have grown up during a period of social transition.
In addition, in the comedy "Smile", she played Luo Yuhua, a young girl with a lively and generous, cheerful and optimistic personality, and was also loved by countless urban educated youths at that time.
It can be said that these classic screen images created by Mr. Jindi were full of high-spirited spirit in that era, infecting and inspiring generations of audiences, and becoming a beacon on their growth road.
It is precisely because of these roles that are loved by the audience that she also became one of the well-deserved "22 stars" in 1962, which was the highest praise and glory for an actor at that time.
However, when we look back on Teacher Jindi's acting career, it is not difficult to find that she missed many opportunities to become a phenomenal superstar in the most prosperous and shining years.
For example, in the 50s of the 20th century, due to her participation in the drama "Triumph at Midnight", she could only watch her favorite character Xiao Liying be successfully played by other newcomer actors in the movie "Mysterious Traveling Companion" and became an instant hit.
This was undoubtedly an indelible regret for Mr. Jindi, who was still trying to emerge at that time.
Also in 1956, in order to prepare to participate in the national drama performance report performance, Teacher Jindi had to give up the opportunity to play the heroine in the famous movie "Shangganling" - female hygienist Wang Lan.
The successful performance of this role also made Liu Yuru, another newcomer actor who was unknown at the time, go to fame.
When Teacher Jindi finally gained the audience's recognition through her excellent acting skills in the movie "Flowers and Full Moon" in 1958, her youth that should have bloomed on the big screen was no longer there.
Those missed opportunities have also become eternal regrets in her theater career.
Therefore, when we want to judge an actor, it is actually a very one-sided view to judge them solely by the number of their works.
Whether an actor can break through himself and complete a masterpiece is closely related to many external environmental factors. For example, whether the background of the times provides enough excellent roles, whether the film company gives enough performance opportunities, etc., the number of these opportunities is not completely controlled by the actors themselves.
The older generation of film actors like Mr. Jindi has relatively few masterpieces, more because in the era when she grew up, the film industry was still in its infancy, and there were too few outstanding roles; This, coupled with the forced interruption of the film industry during the Cultural Revolution, led to the freezing of the entire industry.
We should pay more attention to an actor's internal acting skills and professionalism. In fact, every screen role created by Teacher Jindi shows her solid basic skills and subtle portrayal of the character's personality, allowing the audience to see a real and three-dimensional person, rather than an ordinary character.
Her acting skills were highly praised and recognized by many audiences and critics of that era. This already speaks volumes about how she is a very good actor.
Therefore, to evaluate an actor's achievements, you can't simply use the number of masterpieces to delineate the superiority. It is necessary to examine an actor's contribution to this artistic career from a more comprehensive and more perspective.
On the occasion of the first anniversary of the death of Ms. Jindi, we should not only cherish the artistic achievements of this older generation of film actors, but also cherish her outstanding contributions and spiritual demeanor to the Chinese film industry.
First of all, we want to remember Mr. Jindi's infectious acting skills. Her superb acting ability, unique character understanding and interpretation, give each screen character a soul-like vitality and make the audience deeply fascinated.
Secondly, we should learn from Mr. Jindi's incomparable dedication and enthusiasm for art Xi. At every stage of her acting career, she faced hardships and hardships, but she never gave up her pursuit of an acting career.
It is this dedication that has supported her through the ups and downs of life and towards success.
Thirdly, we must learn from Xi excellent professionalism and character of Teacher Jindi. In difficult times such as the Cultural Revolution, she preferred to forbear, and never damaged the essence of artistic creation, and this noble spirit is worth learning from Xi.
Finally, we have to learn Xi pioneering spirit of Mr. Jindi. In her late teens, she has also worked tirelessly to learn Xi new skills, and this spirit of courage to innovate and dare to be the first should inspire future generations.
We must take Mr. Jindi as an example, shine in their respective positions, and commemorate this veteran who has dedicated his life to the Chinese film industry with a noble spirit and good works.
