Do you remember the unforgettable "Brother A Niu" in the TV series "Liu Sanjie" and the brave "Wang Cheng" in "Heroes' Children"? These two roles are brilliantly presented by the famous actor Liu Shilong, evoking the deep memory of the audience. Liu Shilong has participated in countless film and television works in his life, and is undoubtedly an outstanding artist.
He received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Golden Rooster Awards in 2017 in recognition of his artistic contributions. Unfortunately, two weeks after winning the award, Liu Shilong, 87, passed away in Changchun.
He went through three marriages and many changes in his life, and it was not until he was 73 years old that his life gradually stabilized. He spent his old age with his wife, who was 34 years younger, enjoying those quiet years.
Liu Shilong's story makes people think about what his life was like, and he joined the military as a child and was full of love for acting.
Liu Shilong was born in a family of soldiers, both parents were heroes of the Anti-Japanese War, and he was exposed to the spirit of the Chinese nation since he was a child. At just 9 years old, he joined the army and became a member of the Chinese Communist Party at the age of 16.
After the ordeal of the war, Liu Shilong's sister was tragically killed, an incident that deeply touched him and made him vow to be loyal to his motherland. After participating in many important historical battles such as the Huaihai Campaign and the Battle of Crossing the River, and winning many honors, Liu Shilong began to serve as a propaganda task at the age of 11. At the age of 16, he was promoted to the head of the art troupe.
It can be said that Liu Shilong was both a literary talent and a military general, and although he was essentially a warrior, he had a strong interest in the performing arts.
At first, Liu Shilong only played some small roles, but with the accumulation of experience, he began to get more opportunities for film and television works, including "Prairie Morning Song" and "Dong Cunrui", etc., after 6 years of hard work, Liu Shilong finally became famous.
Since then, his acting career has risen rapidly due to Anigo's recommendation, and unexpectedly, Anigo's popularity has allowed Liu Shilong's talent to be recognized and promoted by the director. In order to meet the challenge, Liu Shilong is also very dedicated, reciting lines without sleep every day to ensure that every detail of the role can be perfectly presented.
After the broadcast of "Liu Sanjie", his performance quickly aroused a strong response from the audience, and also allowed him to win the title of a classic role at the age of 30, and the business reached its peak.
Under the guidance of director Wu Hongtang, he played the role of "Liu Cheng" in "Heroes' Children", although many viewers initially felt that Liu Shilong was not safe enough to play such a tall and mighty character, after all, Liu Cheng should be a majestic character, and Liu Shilong seemed relatively short.
But the director is full of confidence in him, thinking that most of the soldiers are actually ordinary people, and Liu Shilong has experience as a soldier, not to mention the director's vision, "Heroes' Children" became popular all over the country as soon as it was broadcast.
In fact, in order to perfectly interpret this role, Liu Shilong also took great pains, and when filming that extremely challenging battle scene, the crew prepared more than 100 D medicine points, although it was just a performance, it was also extremely dangerous.
Liu Shilong has always been in the whirlpool of the entertainment industry, not afraid of the danger of his life, and went all out to interpret every scene to the extreme. Although he had suffered severe burns, he never regretted it. This fearlessness stems from the fact that he was a true warrior who never flinched in the face of adversity, knowing that he had to interpret the role perfectly.
Therefore, the superb performance of such a scene is really amazing, and the acting skills of the old drama bones on the stage in the past are really moving. Although Liu Shilong's career is booming, his married life is fluctuating.
Twice lost his wife and once lost his son, these painful experiences did not break him, but made his acting career more determined.
The two, who are three years apart, tied the knot shortly after graduation and soon welcomed their son, Bruce Liu. The family of three once enjoyed a happy and contented life for a short time.
However, the good times did not last long, and soon after giving birth to his son, Liu Shilong frequently went out to film due to work, and the husband and wife were separated from each other, and their relationship gradually faded. Miao Min, who couldn't stand this separation, finally filed for divorce.
After the divorce, Liu Shilong raised his son as a single father and devoted himself to his career until he met Lai Shuangying by chance.
The encounter between the two was full of drama, and at first Liu Shilong's friend had a soft spot for Lai Shuangying and hoped that he could bridge the gap between the two. Lai Shuangying was a little cold to the handsome and dashing Liu Shilong, however, after watching one of Liu Shilong's performances, although she felt excited in her heart, she did not show too much emotion out of caution.
Until one day, Lai Shuangying heard that Liu Shilong risked his life to save a colleague, which made her deeply aware of this man's kindness and bravery.
As a result, she decided to put aside her past concerns and take the initiative to express her feelings to Liu Shilong. In the face of Lai Shuangying's passionate pursuit, Liu Shilong is well aware of the age gap between himself and her (he is 9 years older than her) and the fact that he was once divorced and has a child, and feels that he is not worthy of her.
However, Lai Shuangying's sincere feelings finally touched him, and the relationship between the two gradually warmed up, and they started an affectionate love process. When Mang Shuangying found out that she was being despised against, she not only didn't mind, but also appreciated the other party's character even more.
The two quickly entered the palace of marriage after dispelling misunderstandings. After marriage, life is still full of love, they live happily ever after, and Mang Shuangying also gave birth to two children for him, and they treat these children as their own.
Liu Shilong's eldest son Liu Xiaolong joined the army at the age of 16 due to the influence of his father, and performed well in the army, but unfortunately died in a car accident. The blow left him extremely sad, but fortunately, with his wife and two other children by his side, he finally came out of the shadows.
Fortunately, in a sudden discomfort, Mang Shuangying was rushed to the hospital, and after examination, it was found that she had leukemia. This series of events, although it brought endless sadness to the family, also showed the deep love and strong family support between them. After facing the continuous blows in his life, Liu Shilong once again felt the weight of grief.
His ex-wife was unable to recover due to illness, which plunged him into deep sadness. However, after grief, Liu Shilong had to cheer up, knowing that he still had two sons to take care of, which made him
Many years later, when he was 73 years old and thought he would spend the rest of his life quietly, he unexpectedly received a 34-year-old woman, Chang Jiarui, who pursued him. Chang Jiarui has a deep admiration for Liu Shilong's life experience, which makes her have a deep respect for him.
Through unremitting efforts, she finally found Liu Shilong's phone number and mustered up the courage to call him. Liu Shilong was moved by her sincerity and persistence, and gradually a deep affection developed between them. This unexpected relationship brought new hope and happiness to Liu Shilong's later life.
Their relationship proves that even in the twilight of life, love can bring new beginnings. Liu Shilong's story tells us that no matter how much suffering we go through, life is always likely to meet love at a certain corner. In fact, Chang Jiarui is also a person who has experienced loss.
She can deeply empathize with Liu Shilong's experience, and despite the 34-year age difference between the two, she still supports him without hesitation. Under her determined and unyielding pursuit, Liu Shilong finally decided to try to establish a relationship with her. Soon after, the two married in 2003.
This relationship has also caused a lot of controversy. Many people think that Chang Jiarui chose to marry Liu Shilong out of the pursuit of fame and fortune, but they did not see the deep affection expressed by Chang Jiarui's actions after marriage. For Liu Shilong, she is a true guardian and companion.
Knowing that the other party likes to watch movies, she often accompanies her, and when Liu Shilong is sick, she takes care of her in the hospital and accompanies the other party wholeheartedly in her later years.
But there is a parting in life, after accompanying Liu Shilong for more than ten years, he died of illness, and just a few dozen days before Liu Shilong's death, he just won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Achievement. Although Jiarui has been immersed in sadness, life still needs to move on.
The grief felt by Jia Rui was indescribable, haunting his soul day after day, and he often thought back to those good times in the middle of the night, but the reality was cruel, and he knew that he had to find a way to adapt to it all.
Although Liu Shilong has passed away, the characters he created are still alive in the hearts of each of us, as if he never left us. His works have inspired the emotions of countless audiences, allowing his artistic life to transcend physical existence.
