The hit broadcast of "Chenghuan Ji" made Wu Yanshu, a "grandmother professional", enter the audience's field of vision again.
In other words, there are not a few actors who play "grandma" in film and television dramas, but they are recognizable as soon as they appear, but there are not many people who applaud the audience.
These four can be called "national grandmothers", although the role of grandma is not the protagonist, but it is also essential, it is precisely because of their existence that the work is more warm and textured, making the audience more trusting and easier to empathize.

Mai's grandmother is an invisible boss who has been living alone in a nursing home with no relatives to take care of, and Mai Chenghuan visits and accompanies her every week. When Mai Chenghuan fell out of love, his grandmother was transparent and sober and relieved Huanhuan to look forward.
Grandma, who has two marriages, has seen through many things, and she woke up Huanhuan with a single word, and she can be described as a "soul teacher".
This sense of delicacy makes everyone think that she is a Shanghainese, and she is just "acting in her true colors"!
In fact, Wu Yanshu's grandmother was born in a Kochi family in Guangdong, her parents were intellectuals, and she was a rare only daughter in that era, with everyone's beautiful demeanor. It is this temperament cultivated since childhood that Wu Yanshu starred in "Liu Hulan" in the Great Hall of the People in 1965 and was praised by Premier Zhou, which became a glorious moment in her life.

She said: People must have their own careers, especially women, even if your husband is very good to you, you must be independent, so that you will have your own beliefs, your own spirit!
In Wu Yanshu, we feel the temperament precipitated by the years, and we are no longer afraid of age.
In the old age, you can also be fresh and warm, not limited by age ideals, not disturbed by the hustle and bustle, live at your own pace, and age gracefully.
