On April 28, the sad news came from Beijing that the well-known cross talk actor Li Jianhua died at the age of 67 in an emergency center, which shocked and stunned his peers and audiences.
As an outstanding representative of the older generation of cross talk performers, Li Jianhua's gentle, kind, humble and low-key personality has won the love of industry insiders and audiences. In his decades of acting career, Li Jianhua has promoted the development of traditional Chinese crosstalk art with his outstanding acting skills and personality charm, cultivated a large number of outstanding disciples, left many classic works, and made great contributions to Chinese Chinese culture and art.
The death of such an old-timer has undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the cross talk industry. The warm memories left by Li Jianhua are still there, and his brilliant artistic achievements are always worthy of learning and Xi and remembering by future generations.
As a new generation of cross talk actors, we must keep in mind the spirit of the older generation of artists, carry forward Li Jianhua's humble and pragmatic style, and pass on China's excellent traditional culture and art.
In his later years, Li Jianhua suffered from diabetes, and his physical condition deteriorated day by day. This stubborn illness has seriously affected his health, and he has been almost unable to work normally for the past two years, so he can only recuperate at home.
We can imagine that for an artist who loves the stage and regards acting as his life, not being able to perform on stage must be a huge pain. Originally, in February this year, Li Jianhua planned to return to the show, so that everyone could see his still vibrant artistic charm.
But physical ailments ruthlessly destroyed his dreams and forced him to abandon his plans to tour. Missing this rare opportunity to return must have become the last regret of his life.
We feel that any health problem can be a fatal blow to an artist's career. Li Jianhua's love for the stage has never diminished, but the disease ruthlessly deprived him of the opportunity to realize his long-cherished wish.
This is undoubtedly very heart-wrenching. We should cherish our physical health, because it is the foundation for any career. We should also always care for the artists, especially the elderly.
According to Li Jianhua's close friend, just one day before his death, he was still actively seeking medical treatment. Li Jianhua specially sought a visit from an old Chinese medicine doctor, hoping to improve his heart disease.
The Chinese medicine doctor judged that his condition was already very serious and prescribed some medicine for him to go home to recuperate. However, the next day, Li Jianhua's condition deteriorated extremely rapidly, and he directly entered the dying stage and was rushed to the hospital for rescue.
But because the disease progressed too fast, it had reached the point where there was nothing that could be done to cure him, and in the end, his life could not be saved. This sudden death caught our loved ones off guard and reminded us of the fragility and impermanence of life.
It turned out that Li Jianhua's physical condition had deteriorated to such an extent that the slightest lesion could cause him to die suddenly. As a sick artist, his desire for life force clearly exceeded the limits of what his body could bear.
We can't help but feel infinite regret for his misfortune. However, his courage to keep working and his perseverance in seeking medical treatment are also admirable. Life has an end, but the spirit can be eternal.
Li Jianhua used his last life to show his love for the stage, and this tenacity will will forever inspire future generations.
Looking back on the last bits and pieces of Li Jianhua's life, we remember his image of a weak body but strong will. In November last year, about half a year before his death, Li Jianhua made his last public appearance and participated in the recording of a joke show.
At that time, he had shaved his hair, and his body was visibly blessed, and it was obvious that the disease had seriously eroded his health. However, judging from his state of dedication to work, his spirit is excellent, he has not been crushed by illness, and he still retains his enthusiasm.
Even though he was about to die, Li Jianhua still chose to dedicate his last strength to complete the work task. This professionalism is awe-inspiring. It shows an artist's boundless love for the stage and his career, and even physical decay cannot stop his unwavering pursuit of performance.
We can imagine that participating in the recording of the show must be a kind of torture for his sickly body. But Li Jianhua did not flinch and shirk, because his dedication to art transcended pain.
He used his actions to tell us that success comes from perseverance, and difficulties cannot knock down inner belief. It has also become an unforgettable glorious part of his artistic career. Finishing the job with his last energy is a kind of affectionate farewell to the audience and the stage.
What Li Jianhua left us is a strong spiritual strength that is still high-spirited in the face of illness. This should be the best image we can remember about him.
Looking back on Li Jianhua's acting career, his artistic achievements and contributions to Chinese cross talk are indeed undoubted. He is a disciple of the older generation of cross talk master Tang Jiezhong, and he has reached the height of perfection in this field.
Li Jianhua has won awards in the National Cross Talk Competition, which fully proves his outstanding acting strength and artistic attainments. In his long creative career, Li Jianhua has continuously explored the essence of traditional crosstalk, constantly enriched its expression techniques, integrated the essence of Chinese Chinese culture into his works, and pioneered and promoted the development of crosstalk art.
Another outstanding contribution of Li Jianhua is to cultivate a large number of outstanding cross talk disciples, such as Li Jindou, Liu Hongyi, Jiang Kun and many other well-known masters.
It can be said that among the outstanding contemporary Chinese cross talk actors, Li Jianhua's contribution is indispensable. Without his careful cultivation and knowledge impartation, there would not be so many outstanding young generation inheritors to continue and carry forward the Chinese cross talk culture.
In addition, Li Jianhua also starred in a number of TV series that are loved by the audience, such as the well-known classic role "Wang Yuanchao", which has become a masterpiece of his acting skills.
Li Jianhua has given this character a unique personality charm with his profound artistic attainments, which has deeply infected the hearts of several generations. It can be said that he has made outstanding contributions to China's language, culture and art.
His glorious life will forever remain alive in the history of Chinese culture.
Through the depictions of Li Jianhua's relatives and friends before his death, we can see that he was modest, cautious, amiable, and maintained a very harmonious relationship with his peers and disciples. Li Jianhua never demands or competes for any interests, and always maintains a humble and polite style, so he is very popular with everyone.
In this highly competitive society, it is rare to find such a gentle and humble elder. Li Jianhua used his style of conduct to prove that learning to Xi and treating people kindly makes life more glorious than chasing fame and fortune.
He gave up the mentality of being fierce and ruthless, so he won the sincere respect of his peers.
When Li Jianhua passed away suddenly, all those who knew and respected him felt indescribable grief. Everyone posted on the Internet to mourn, praising Li Jianhua's beautiful character and expressing their thoughts, sorrows and reluctance to him.
It can be seen from this that Li Jianhua's warm, sincere, modest and cautious attitude towards life has left what kind of good memories he has left others. We can learn from Li Jianhua Xi so that our lives can also gain such respect and nostalgia.
Li Jianhua represents the excellent tradition of Chinese and Chinese culture and art, and he is known for promoting traditional art throughout his life, and constantly enriching its connotation with innovative spirit. Despite suffering from a serious illness in his later years, he still loves life, glows with artistic inspiration, and infects others with his positive and tenacious character.
His passing has deprived us of such a humble and talented elder.
However, Li Jianhua's spirit will always inspire future generations. His promotion and contribution to the culture and art of Chinese and Chinese languages will forever be recorded in history. Each of us should learn Xi from his attitude of unremitting self-improvement in life, and carry forward his noble sentiments of serving the people and dedicating himself to art in his later years.
As long as you have a dream, you will not succumb to the misery of life. Li Jianhua has spent his life interpreting this firmness and perseverance. Let's take the nostalgia for him as the motivation to keep his spirit in our hearts and pass it on to more dreamers.
