introduction
Speaking of kung fu superstars in the mainland, who is the first thing you think of?
Everyone's answer is probably different.
In the last century, many martial arts prodigies have emerged in the mainland, such as the "Kung Fu Emperor" Jet Li, the "Martial Arts Master" Bruce Lee, and Yu Zhanyuan's two high-ranking disciples, Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan.
These people are not only extraordinary in their own right, but also have pushed Chinese kung fu to the world stage.
It can be said that they are using their influence to promote traditional culture all the time.
However, the different circumstances of these four later generations are quite regrettable.
Some have passed away, some are sick, and some are still in good shape.
So the question is, what exactly have they been through?
Bruce lee
"Use nunchucks to hum haha......"
As soon as he heard Jay Chou's classic song, Bruce Lee's figure automatically appeared in front of him.
But Bruce Lee's fate is not as cheerful as this song, and it can even be said that it is diametrically opposed.
In the summer of 1973, Bruce Lee, who was only 32 years old, suddenly reported his death, and a generation of superstars fell.
Looking at the newspapers flying in the sky, all the Chinese compatriots first showed expressions of disbelief, and then fell into deep pain.
When asked about the cause of death, the hospital gave only one final cause of death - cerebral edema.
Didn't Bruce Lee have a son, so did he have a son to inherit his father's business later?
This was the first thought that popped up after learning of Bruce Lee's untimely death.
Bruce Lee had a son named Li Guohao, who was born to him and a white woman.
At the beginning of Bruce Lee's death, he thought that he already had offspring, and it sounds very gratifying that his son will inherit his father's business when he grows up in the future.
I don't want to think that tragedy happened this time.
In 1993, in the early morning of filming a movie in the United States, Li Guohao was accidentally shot in the abdomen by a prop and unfortunately died.
At the time of his death, Li Guohao was only 28 years old, younger than his father.
It has to be said that the hero's ending is always unsatisfactory.
But compared to Bruce Lee, Jet Li is much better.
Jet li
At the end of last year, Jet Li publicly said that he was already down-looking about life and death.
Even after the incident, he has already explained it to his wife Li Zhi, and everything is simple and it doesn't matter.
And for Jet Li's detached attitude towards life and death, it is difficult not to wonder whether he is suffering from illness.
In terms of appearance, Jet Li when he was young was definitely the top handsome.
But his state in recent years has really stunned everyone.
With loose skin, gray and sparse hair, and age spots one after another, Jet Li is really too old to look good.
You must know that Jet Li is only 60 years old now, and I really feel that he was still personable yesterday.
This may be a real sickness!
Many years ago, when Jet Li was still very young and still filming, he suddenly received a call from a doctor telling him to stop work immediately.
It was said that his blood was already very messy at that time, and he was likely to be at risk of cancer.
After listening to the doctor's words, Jet Li's brain went blank in an instant.
But after this second, he continued indifferently, and thought to himself that even if it was cancer, there would still be a period of time before death, so he would finish filming these four weeks first.
Not long after, Jet Li obediently went to the hospital for an examination.
Fortunately, it was just hyperthyroidism, not real cancer.
This is really a trick!
Compared with Jet Li's current state, Sammo Hung is relatively moisturized.
Sammo Hung
In recent years, Sammo Hung has been seen traveling in a wheelchair more than once.
Thinking about his title of "the fatter who can fight the most" back then, it is not embarrassing.
But when I thought about it, I felt that something was wrong.
We've never heard of Sammo Hung's disability in the past few years.
In fact, Sammo Hung can indeed go.
However, it may be because Sammo Hung was more useless when he was young.
Not long ago, the Asian Film Awards was held as scheduled, and all the people present were figures with heads and faces in the entertainment industry.
This can't help but remind us that Sammo Hung won the Lifetime Achievement Award on this stage last year.
And the reason why Sammo Hung can have such treatment is by no means groundless.
As Jackie Chan's senior brother, Sammo Hung has achieved no more than his junior brother in the past half of his life.
From "Summer Lucky Star" to "Ghost Fighting", from actor to director, and then from Yu Zhanyuan's apprentice to the founder of the Hung family class, Sammo Hung has brought us many surprises.
After this layer of transformation, Sammo Hung has finally become a grandmaster-level figure in the circle.
Now that we've got that said, we have to talk about our "Kung Fu Kid".
Jackie chan
It is said that the kung fu movie industry back then was also a hundred schools of thought, but today, there are indeed few who can "have unlimited scenery".
And it just so happens that Jackie Chan is one of them.
Previously, in a public interview, director Zhang Yimou had an evaluation of Jackie Chan.
As soon as he heard the reporter say Jackie Chan's name, Zhang Yimou immediately said impassionedly that Jackie Chan is a unique character in modern China and cannot be reproduced at all.
Jackie Chan's attainments in the field of domestic action movies must not need me to say more.
But he was especially important in breaking into foreign markets and gaining a place in Hollywood.
It is particularly worth mentioning that after the broadcast of Jackie Chan's movie "Zodiac", two national cultural relics were also "recalled".
But heroes also have twilight moments.
Some time ago, when attending an event, the gray-haired and tired Cheng Longtou made us really feel that he was a 70-year-old "old man".
After accepting the facts, everyone praised him at the same time for his old age and still beautiful now.
epilogue
Today, the editor takes you to take stock of several of the most outstanding Chinese kung fu superstars.
Although they are indeed old now, it is rumored that they not only had a high status in domestic entertainment back then, but even the salary was unimaginable to ordinary people.
This sounds very enviable, but how many people in the world can do it like them?
The effort and the gain are always proportional.
Finally, let us feel sorry for a few of them and bless a few of them.
