In the profound heritage of Chinese culture, the sense of regional belonging is like an inextinguishable lamp, illuminating the way home for wanderers.
As the years passed, the attachment to the homeland became deeper and deeper.
I am afraid that I will not be able to set foot on that familiar land again.
Especially in the era of inconvenient transportation, many people dream of returning to their birthplace as soon as possible and exploring the homeland where they once left their footprints.
Unfortunately, some wanderers, even if they cherish their homeland, do not succeed in the end.
They may have settled in other places for various reasons, and even at the last moment of their lives, they have not been able to return to the homeland they have always wanted.
In our film and television industry, there is no shortage of such stars.
They have illuminated the hearts of countless people with their demeanor on the screen, but they have left behind them a period of regret that they have not been able to return home.
Today, let's take stock of the movie and television stars who died in their hometowns.
They may have left their mark in all corners of the world.
But the deepest concern in my heart will always point to that distant hometown.
Teresa
Teresa Teng, her singing voice is gentle and affectionate, every song is like a classic, and she is deeply loved by the majority of netizens.
In 1995, this high-profile singer died of illness in Chiang Mai, Thailand, which made people sigh.
At that time, she was playing in Chiang Mai with her boyfriend and enjoying the exotic atmosphere.
However, fate played a trick on her at this moment.
One day, her boyfriend invited Teresa Teng to the mall to shop together.
But Teresa Teng declined the invitation on the grounds of physical discomfort and returned to the hotel alone to rest.
Helplessly, her boyfriend could only go out alone, but he didn't expect this farewell to be a farewell.
It wasn't until her boyfriend returned to the hotel that she learned that Teresa Teng's condition had suddenly deteriorated and she was rushed to the hospital for rescue.
He hurried to the hospital, but could only face a cruel reality, she failed to save her and had passed away.
This sudden bad news made her boyfriend grief-stricken, and also triggered various speculations among netizens about the cause of her death.
The official report said that she died of an asthma attack, but this statement did not calm the doubts of netizens.
According to a person familiar with the matter, on Teresa Teng's face, there was a trace similar to a palm print.
This sparked speculation and accusations from netizens about her boyfriend.
Many believe that her boyfriend may have something to do with her death, although he has never been able to give a clear explanation for this.
Years later, a well-known respiratory specialist in mainland China conducted an in-depth study of the cause of her death and came up with a reasonable medical explanation.
Experts believe that she was suffering from a severe cold and had a blocked nose, and the doctor prescribed her a medication to relieve nasal congestion.
Although this medication can provide temporary relief, excessive use can be damaging and even life-threatening.
Considering that she had a history of asthma, experts speculated that she may have died as a result of overuse of the drug.
Sadly, she died in a foreign country and was unable to return to her beloved homeland.
Zhang Ying
He was born in the coastal areas of Fujian before liberation.
During those turbulent times, he migrated to Hong Kong with his father and other siblings to make a living.
Although he had many siblings in his family, his family was relatively wealthy, which gave him the opportunity to receive an education at Wah Yan College.
The coincidence of fate made this fair-skinned and well-behaved teenager form an indissoluble bond with local opera performances.
He specialized in small students, and with his talent and hard work, he performed on stage at the age of 18 and won the love and recognition of the audience.
And his acting career did not stop at the opera stage. In the same year, he ventured into the field of film and began his career as a film and television actor.
His films are mainly Cantonese and have a variety of styles, and each of his works shows his profound artistic skills.
It is worth mentioning that he starred in a film based on a script written by the famous writer Mr. Ba Jin.
This work made him famous in the film industry, and his fame rose day by day.
In the Hong Kong film and television industry, his position is very important.
His influence is not only reflected in his acting skills and works, but also in his support and help for younger artists.
Kung fu superstar Bruce Lee made many cameo roles in movies he starred in when he was a child.
The famous Hong Kong star Wan Ziliang even respects him as his godfather, which shows his prestige and connections in the circle.
However, the legendary actor's later years were filled with regrets.
He crossed the ocean and settled in the United States, but he never set foot in his homeland again.
In 1984, the 65-year-old film and television superstar died in a foreign country, which became the biggest regret in his life.
Zheng Zhenyao
Actress Zheng Zhenyao may be a little unfamiliar to the younger generation of audiences.
But for friends who lived through the 60s and 70s, her name and works are deeply rooted in my heart.
She once played the role of Aunt Song in the movie "Old Things in the South of the City" and was well received in professional circles.
And the classic dialogue "You're here to" in the film was even more frantically forwarded on the Internet.
She and her husband are both deeply passionate about art.
Their encounter, acquaintance, and love all stem from their common pursuit and love for art.
After getting married, they support each other and can work together to face the difficulties and challenges they encounter in life, no matter how many difficulties and challenges they encounter in life.
In the early 80s, she officially embarked on the path of acting, and her acting talent was widely recognized.
She has starred in a number of productions in a row, all of which have been well received by the audience and the industry, for which she has won the highest actor honor twice.
After retiring in the 90s, she did not stop pursuing art.
Zheng Zhenyao and her husband devote themselves to the dance work they love, silently contributing their own strength to the artistic cause.
They always maintain a low-key attitude to life, not ostentatious, not showing off, just silently doing what they like.
But the tricks of fate caused them to encounter misfortune.
After the death of her husband, Zheng Zhenyao suffered a huge blow and began to close herself.
Over time, her condition gradually worsened, and she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and lost her ability to take care of herself.
At this time, her daughter, who is in Australia, took her to take care of her.
I hope that she can get the best company in the last stage of her life.
After living abroad for 10 years, in 2023, she passed away.
Her death has made many people feel regretful, but for the fact that she died in a foreign land, we can only lament the impermanence of fate.
However, it is worth mentioning that Zheng Zhenyao has always loved her motherland deeply, and she does not want to leave this land.
Her departure was just a helpless choice under the circumstances.
Li Yong
The host, Li Yong, is a talented media person.
His shows have accompanied many people through happy times, and those familiar images and sounds still reverberate in people's hearts today.
However, fate was not lenient on this excellent host.
He was diagnosed with cancer back in 2015.
Faced with the invasion of illness, he had to give up his beloved hosting job and follow his wife and daughter to the United States for treatment.
However, after a long period of hard work and perseverance, the condition did not improve.
Finally, he passed away abroad in 2018.
Some of the comments about his death have been circulating on the Internet.
He was accused of using his fame to make a lot of money, and after making a lot of money, he took his family out to enjoy the blessings.
However, these statements could not be further from the truth.
He may have been seriously ill and had no choice but to leave the stage and audience he loved.
As for his decision to choose to be buried in the United States, it was his personal choice.
Everyone has the right to decide what happens after their death, and no matter where they choose to be buried, it is only a matter of personal will and arrangement.
Zhao Youliang
actor Zhao Youliang, a well-known artist in the mainland entertainment industry.
His acting career spans many years and has created many urban roles that are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
However, after the news of his death in 2023 was released on the official platform, it caused a lot of controversy online.
He reportedly passed away at his home in the Japanese capital, a detail clearly marked in the obituary, which immediately sparked heated discussions among netizens.
Many believe that as a famous actor, he chose to spend his old age abroad and died, which was a disloyalty to his homeland.
Some even questioned whether he used the wealth he earned to support him here, further deepening the negative impression of him.
However, as more information was revealed, people gradually learned the real reason why he chose to live here.
It turned out that his second wife was from this country, and after he retired, he chose to settle here with his wife and enjoy his old age.
Still, this fact did not completely quell the controversy among netizens.
His death still sparked an uproar online, and discussions about whether he was patriotic or not continued.
Xiao Xiaolin
The famous host Xiao Xiaolin, with her professional hosting skills and cordial image, has won the love of the audience.
The "Focus Interview" hosted by her was an indispensable program in the hearts of the audience.
However, after her retirement, fate dealt her a heavy blow.
Originally, she was looking forward to being able to enjoy her old age and enjoy spending time with her family.
But a seemingly ordinary outing turned her life upside down.
On the way home, she suddenly passed out and was rushed to the hospital.
After a series of tests, the doctor informed her of the shocking news that she had rectal cancer.
Faced with this sudden news, she and her family decided to seek better treatment.
Due to the immaturity of domestic technology in this area, they chose to go to the United States for treatment.
Accompanied by her family, she came to an authoritative medical institution and began a long and arduous process of treatment.
However, the reality is far more cruel than imagined. Although she actively cooperated with the treatment, her condition deteriorated repeatedly.
The technique here is not as miraculous as the legend says, and her body is gradually weakened by the affliction of illness.
In the end, she lay on the hospital bed, her body full of tubes of various instruments, and her life was passing little by little.
Before her death, she had expressed a strong desire to return to her homeland and not to die in a foreign country.
However, the reality did not go as she wished, and she finally passed away in the United States, leaving behind endless regrets and regrets.
epilogue
They may not be able to write the chapter of homecoming, but their names will forever be engraved in the memory of their hometown.
Let us remember the glory of these stars, and also sigh the inseparable hometown feelings.
May they find their own homeland in another world and rest in that deepest attachment.
