On April 8, 2024, the top ten people who moved China were newly released.
89-year-old actor Niu Ben was elected as the 2023 Person of the Year who moved China.
After the list came out, Niu Ben's name sparked a huge controversy.
"Isn't he just an actor, what does it have to do with moving China?"
With the exposure of his private life, netizens found that he was still living in a million-dollar pension apartment.
So how did he get selected, and who did he touch?
1. More than 70 years of time
Regarding why Niu Ben has become one of the top ten people who moved China, his dedication to the entertainment industry is a very important factor.
Since 1946, 11-year-old Niu Ben has stepped into the door of the entertainment industry.
He played a village boy in the movie "Tales of the Holy City".
Although he is very young, he does not know what human feelings are.
But he knows that as long as he works hard and is clever and diligent, he will always be recognized by others.
It is precisely because of this movie that Niu Ben was discovered by more directors.
In 1948, he got another children's role, and the crew praised him for his good acting skills and vision.
In the same year, he received an invitation from the director to go to Hong Kong, China to shoot a new film.
Maybe it's because his parents died when he was 6 years old, and he has been living with his brother.
So he had no worries in his heart and set off without the slightest hesitation.
In 1949, he played the role of "Little Husband" in the movie "Cremation".
Gradually, Niu Ben's popularity became higher and higher.
In particular, his name "Niu Ben", which adds up to four "cow" characters, sounds very "cow".
Later, Niu Ben has been developing in the entertainment industry and insisting on filming.
Despite the fact that no protagonist character came to the door, he never complained about fate.
He firmly believes that as long as he puts in enough effort, no matter what the outcome is, it is the best arrangement.
I don't know if it's because of bad luck or because he doesn't fight or grab, he hasn't been the protagonist.
For 30 years, Niu Ben has never had the idea of giving up.
He takes it seriously no matter what the role is, and such professionalism is also very rare.
It may be that his sincerity touched the heavens and finally gave him a good role.
The role of "Guo Liar" in "Wrangler", which was broadcast in 1982, was played by Niu Ben.
This time, the movie exploded, and every family sat in front of the TV to watch the movie.
Moreover, Niu Ben vividly interpreted the character and demeanor of "Guo Liar".
In the movie, "Guo Liar" played a great role, and also achieved the marriage of the male and female protagonists.
Whether it is word-of-mouth or acting skills, Niu Ben has gained a lot.
Coupled with his more than 30 years of hard work, he finally ushered in the first award in his life.
In 1983, Niu Ben won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor with this movie.
Although he failed to become an actor, the gold content of this award is also very high.
It has laid a solid foundation for Niu Ben's future acting career.
It is said that there are many people who are popular, and many celebrities have broken out "black material" and "scandals" one after another after becoming popular.
So after Niu Ben became popular, didn't such a thing happen?
2. Stick to your bottom line
When we understand Niu Ben's tragic childhood experience, we know Niu Ben's true character.
He knew that his success was not easy to come by, but how could he go astray and corrupt his own atmosphere?
In fact, Niu Ben has a very clear plan for his life.
He knows what can be done and what can't be done.
In 1985, Niu Ben had a "soaking" scene during the filming of "High School Forward, Short Coach".
In order to present a more realistic effect, Niu Ben took the initiative to add a little scene.
He was immersed in water, completely unaware of his arthritis.
When the filming started, the arthritis attacked, and Niu Ben was so painful that he couldn't get up in the water.
Fortunately, the staff found out in time, otherwise it would have caused serious consequences.
Because he is full of love for acting, he cherishes every hard-won role.
Interpret each role with heart, just to let the audience see a better version of themselves.
He put his own safety at risk and became a role model for countless actors.
In addition to this incident, he has been hurt many times because of his professionalism.
In 1997, "The Secret Biography of Cixi" directed by Han Gang began filming.
Niu Ben also ushered in a new role, and this time he is still a "small role".
But what impressed him was the picture of playing against the "donkey".
According to the requirements of the plot, Niu Ben wants to take his "son" to ride a donkey.
But he didn't know that the donkey was so difficult to tame, and he resisted for a long time but couldn't make the donkey obedient.
Maybe the staff was more violent and accidentally angered the donkey.
It directly threw Niu Ben off his body, and Niu Ben fell to the ground in the air.
Just when it wanted to step on Niu Ben, the staff tied the donkey up in time.
However, Niu Ben's body was left with serious sequelae: cervical spine dislocation, sternal bone fracture.
After recuperating for a period of time, the first thing Niu Ben did when he arrived at the crew was to express his apologies.
He thinks it was his "mistake" that delayed the filming process.
And insisting on not using a stand-in is his bottom line, and he can't back down because of any difficulties.
In fact, the crew did not blame him, but were impressed by his professionalism.
I didn't expect there to be such a dedicated old actor in the entertainment industry, which made the entire entertainment industry proud.
It can be seen that Niu Ben is really a dedicated old actor, not pretending.
However, Niu Ben could not be selected as one of the top ten people who moved China based on these deeds alone.
What truly deserves such glory is his selfless dedication and helpful character.
3. Selected as one of the top ten people who moved China
On April 8, 2024, the top ten people who moved China in 2023 were newly released.
They are firefighters who serve the people, young soldiers who go to the front line, and proud astronauts......
When they arrived at Niu Ben, the audience couldn't help but sigh.
After all, there are many dedicated actors in the entertainment industry, and there are countless good acting skills.
As for why Niu Ben was able to stand out from so many people, it was because he also made a lot of contributions to the country.
Niu Ben officially joined the Communist Party of China in June 2018, and he has made his limited life more meaningful.
After he "handed over" his fate to the state, he recognized his mission.
In his free time, he often helps left-behind children so that they have books to read.
Maybe it's because I was drenched in the rain when I was a child, so I have to hold an umbrella for others when I grow up.
Niu Ben silently supports and encourages those children where we can't see.
The good deeds he has done are not publicized, and he has never expected anything in return.
It's just that since 2019, his wife who has been with him for many years has passed away, which has had a great impact on his life.
That's why he chose to go to a million pension apartment to enjoy his old age.
Unexpectedly, this incident sparked heated discussions among netizens.
When we think about it from another angle, Niu Ben is a famous actor.
He has been filming for more than 70 years, and his worth has long been very high.
Niu Ben just never showed off his family property, and he was very low-key.
Nowadays, choosing to spend the rest of your life in a nursing home should be a normal thing.
I hope that everyone will still look at the problem rationally and stabilize their emotions.
After all, he is not the first actor to win the top ten people who moved China.
There was Pu Cunxi in front and Jackie Chan in the back, and the audience had no objections after they were successfully elected.
Now that Niu Ben has won the honor, there have been many uneven voices.
His personal experience really pierced a cruel reality: there are many people who are popular.
Everyone is not perfect, and there is a limit to what can be contributed.
Niu Ben has obviously done a good job, who can do it to his extent?
Now he has entered his old age, and there is not much time left.
I hope everyone will stop disturbing his life and let him spend his old age in peace.
Niu Ben's election as one of the top ten people in China has sparked heated discussions in the entertainment industry.
But what can't be denied is his superb acting skills and dedication.
These two points are enough for us to learn for a long time, and he can be regarded as a role model for us.
