It wasn't until 1985 that the 52-year-old You Benchang met director Zhang Ge and starred in the mythological comedy "Jigong". Teacher You Benchang is also a household name with the play. won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor in one fell swoop.

Epilogue:
The reason why "national treasure actors" are "national treasures" is not because of external packaging and sensationalism, but because of their lifelong pursuit and dedication to acting. As Ang Lee once commented on You Benchang, "He is good at infecting others with his heart", this is the soul of acting.
We should not be amazed by the "appearance" of an old photo, but should appreciate the transformation and growth of an artist from a young man to a peerless generation, and then to a silver-haired old man. The vicissitudes and wisdom contained in this are difficult to capture in photos.
From Kong Yiji to Jigong, behind every classic role, his persistent pursuit and love for acting are confirmed. Being able to experience the baptism of time and wind and frost and shine more and more brightly is the attitude that a true "national treasure" should have.
