They reinterpreted the lines and actions of the year, which instantly ignited the audience's endless nostalgia for this drama.
Time flies, and the heroic teenager has entered old age, which makes people sigh. Looking back on the past, people seem to have traveled back to time and space to that era full of innocence.
At that time, although the TV screen was extremely bulky and the picture was limited to black and white, every time "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" was broadcast, every family would gather in front of the TV and enjoy it with full attention, for fear of missing any wonderful moment.
The familiar theme song "Love in the Snow" and the melodious ending song "Dream Chaser" are still echoing in people's ears, evoking the deep nostalgia of countless audiences for the plot. In those years, the whole society was shocked by this drama.

Meng Fei: Career ups and downs, marriage three turns
In "Flying Fox in Snow Mountain", Meng Fei successfully portrayed two completely different characters - the uninhibited Hu Yidao, and the gentle and elegant Hu Fei. With his superb acting skills, he performed these two roles vividly and vividly, which was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the audience.
Whether it is Hu Yidao's rugged heroism or Hu Fei's gentleness and kindness, they all fully demonstrate Meng Fei's outstanding acting talent.
Born in the vibrant city of Shanghai, Mr. Meng Fei was born at the age of 15 and set out on a journey to Guangzhou, eventually arriving in the bustling city of Hong Kong.
At the age of 19, he successfully entered the world-renowned Shaw Brothers Film Company, and just one year later, he had the honor to participate in the classic "Fang Shiyu", and since then, he has officially stepped into the door of the entertainment industry.
Since then, he has starred in many wonderful martial arts films, however, in the 70s, the golden age of the star-studded Hong Kong entertainment industry, it is not easy to make a name for himself.
It was not until Mr. Meng Fei left Hong Kong and moved to Taiwan that his acting career finally ushered in a major turning point. In 1984, he co-starred with Pan Yingzi in "The Condor Heroes", which set off a warm response on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, Hong Kong and Macao, and its theme song was even more popular and spread all over the streets.
In 1991, the TV series "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" was broadcast in Chinese mainland, allowing the audience to have an in-depth understanding of this outstanding actor, and also helped his career climb to the top. However, as he grew older, Mr. Meng Fei gradually shifted his focus to the business world and eventually decided to gradually fade out of the film and television industry.
In terms of emotional life, Mr. Meng Fei has experienced three magnificent marriages. His first wife, Lin Meiyu, was a conscientious nurse who married Meng Fei before he became famous and had a son.
However, the marriage did not last long and eventually broke down.
The second wife, Elizabeth, is an actress from the Philippines and the goddaughter of the president of the Philippines, and they have a son after marriage, but the marriage also ended in failure.
Mr. Meng Fei's third wife, Luo Yueling, is a full 20 years younger than him, and this "year-old love" still continues today.
The 71-year-old Mr. Meng Fei sometimes plays a few cameo roles in some big online movies, although the years have carved a deep mark on his face, we can still feel his heroic demeanor back then.
When he was interviewed, Mr. Meng Fei was full of emotion, recalling the bits and pieces of filming "Flying Fox in Snow Mountain" back then, and his eyes flashed with a kind of nostalgia and longing for the past. Time flies, and the personable young man has become an old man who has experienced vicissitudes, but he always cherishes the deep friendship for the past.
Gong Cien's superb acting skills made her demeanor surpass the heroine in the play for a while, which made the audience fall in love with it, praising her as "After Gong Cien, there is no Cheng Lingsu"!
With the popular broadcast of the TV series "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", Gong Cien has also won widespread attention in the mainland. However, in real life, her emotional journey has not been smooth sailing.
Although her first marriage ended briefly and unhappily, that didn't stop her from moving on.
In 1991, "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" set off a ratings frenzy in the mainland, and Gong Cien met Taiwanese actor Lin Wei during this period, who played the role of Fukangan in the play. At that time, Lin Wei was still a newcomer in the entertainment industry, but Gong Cien fell in love with him without hesitation.
After eight years of long-distance love, they finally entered the palace of marriage and gave birth to a pair of lovely children. This marriage seems to have brought Gong Cien the long-awaited happiness and stability.
However, good times are always short-lived. In 2019, Lin Wei was exposed by the media to an intimate photo with a certain female billionaire, which instantly detonated the heated discussion of public opinion. Subsequently, Lin Wei admitted that the two had been separated for two years, and in their marriage, Gong Cien always maintained a strong desire to control, which undoubtedly exacerbated the coldness of the relationship between the two.
Now, Gong Cien and Lin Wei are going through divorce procedures, which is the second time in her life that her marriage has been broken.
After two marital setbacks, the 60-year-old chose to face the challenges of the rest of her life bravely. Her acting career has gradually slipped to a low point, in addition to playing a key role in "The Year the Flowers Bloomed and the Moon Was Full", in recent years, she has made more cameo appearances in some film and television dramas.
However, even in bad circumstances, Gong Cien still maintains a good appearance and mentality, and the company of her children makes her life full of warmth.
After the divorce, Lin Wei quickly started a new relationship, and is currently in a hot fight with a rich daughter, but there is no news of marriage yet. Gong Cien, who was once known as the "dream lover", failed to find her true happiness after all, and after two marriages broke down, she chose to face the second half of her life alone.
Wu Yujuan: At the peak of her career, her marriage was disappointed twice
In the TV series "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", Wu Yujuan, who played the heroine Yuan Ziyi, was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the audience with her excellent acting skills. She has a graceful figure and a beautiful face, and is deeply pursued by the male protagonist Hu Fei in the play.
However, it is a pity that this character has not been warmly sought after and loved by the audience, but a faint indifferent attitude.
Wu Yujuan, an outstanding graduate from the China Academy of Theatre, is known as the "Five Golden Flowers of Chinese Opera" together with Gong Li, Chen Wei, Shi Ke and Jin Lili. In 1987, she played the heroine in the film "The Price of Madness", in which the subtle and vague bathing scene caused great waves in the relatively conservative era of the time, which also made the film a precious memory in the hearts of fans.
Until 1991, the hit of the TV series "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" made Wu Yujuan one of the hottest female stars in the mainland in the 90s, and her career also climbed to the peak. Since then, she has successively participated in many film and television masterpieces such as "Fragrant Soul Girl" and "Sunrise in the East and Rain in the West", but she has never been able to surpass the far-reaching influence brought by "Snow Mountain Flying Fox".
In 1998, Wu Yujuan tried to write and direct the movie "Camellia Blossom", but due to a lack of sufficient experience and casting mistakes, she eventually fell into the predicament of huge debts. In order to repay these debts, Wu Yujuan had to take over all kinds of film and television dramas non-stop, such as "Looking for a Gun", "The Battlefield Without Gunsmoke", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "So Many Graces in the Country", "Shangyang Fu" and so on.
As time passed, Wu Yujuan gradually turned to play some older mother-in-law and mother roles. Now 58 years old, she has experienced two failed marriages, but she still sticks to the front line of the film and television industry.
Although her youth is no longer and the glory of the past has long since faded, she is still working silently, looking forward to seizing her own opportunities again.
Wu Yujuan, who used to be one of the most popular actresses in the mainland, is now facing such a lonely situation. The ruthless baptism of the years has made her once bright light fade away, replaced by endless loss and helplessness.
On the road to pursue her career, she paid a heavy price, and her marriage broke down one after another. Now, Wu Yujuan can only seek the embodiment of self-worth in the film and television industry, but it may be out of reach to recreate the glory of the past.
What happened to the other actors
In addition to the main roles such as Meng Fei, Gong Cien, and Wu Yujuan, the other actors in "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" have also experienced their own ups and downs in their lives.
Actor Mu Sicheng, who plays Miao Renfeng, is a Korean artist who has developed in Hong Kong and Taiwan for many years, although he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for starring in "Famous Sword and Romance", but he has never been among the first-line stars.
Only in the classic martial arts masterpiece "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" played the role of Miao Renfeng, a martial arts master known as the "Golden-faced Buddha", his superb acting skills can truly penetrate the hearts of the people and win warm praise from the audience.
Today, Mu Sicheng has moved from the front of the stage to the backstage, focusing on the supervision and production of film and television works, and rarely appears in the public eye.
Tang Zhenzong, a powerful actor who once played the villain role of Tian Guinong in the play, although he failed to make a name for himself in the glamorous Hong Kong entertainment industry when he was young, his acting career has begun to get on track since he moved to the mainland market in 1989, and has gradually become brilliant.
He has created many popular roles in many popular works such as "Fengshen Bang" and "Dragon Babu", and has won wide recognition inside and outside the industry In terms of personal emotional life, Tang Zhenzong and his wife Zhang Lixia met and fell in love in 1983, tied the knot in 1986, and had two lovely daughters after marriage, of which the eldest daughter Tang Luowen has now successfully transformed into a high-profile actor.
Wang Luyao, who played the role of Miao Ruolan in "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", won high praise from the audience with her fresh and refined temperament and excellent acting skills, and was known as the "pure jade idol".
With the popularity of the show, her acting career has also reached its peak, and she has participated in many film and television masterpieces loved by the audience one after another, however, during the filming of the movie "Green Card" in 1996, she was involved in the scandal with the actor Wan Ziliang, and finally chose to leave the film and television industry until 2002, Wang Luyao returned to the screen.
However, since then, she can only play supporting roles in some film and television works, and now, although Wang Luyao, who is over half a hundred years old, has entered the marriage hall and has a happy family life, the once unforgettable image of Miao Ruolan seems to have faded away with the passage of time.
In addition, the three deceased actors in "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" - Gao Zhenpeng (as the King of Medicine), Lu Qifeng (as Mrs. Fu) and Xi Yanhong (as Feng Tiannan), although they only appeared as supporting roles in the play, their wonderful performances also left a deep impression on the audience.
Gao Zhenpeng, a veteran actor from Taiwan, passed away in 2021 in a peaceful sleep at the age of 91, Lu Qifeng, a national first-class actor, died in Changchun Xian in October 2018 at the age of 87, and Xi Yanhong, a Peking Opera artist from the mainland, passed away in Beijing in 2003, but their place in the hearts of the audience remains unshakable.
Time flies, more than 30 years have passed quietly in a blink of an eye, and the former "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" has long become an eternal classic, but the life trajectories of those leading actors are different, which is amazing.
Some people have a thriving career but the road to marriage is full of twists and turns, some people once shined on the stage but are now unknown, and several actors have left us forever.
Those former bright stars, like heroic soldiers on the screen, have performed countless ups and downs in the long journey of life.
Time flies like a white horse, more than 30 years have passed, and the martial arts masterpiece "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", which caused widespread discussion and praise in the society, has now become a classic.
Through the in-depth pursuit of these leading actors, we can't help but sigh at the ruthlessness of time. Some have achieved great success in their careers but their married life has been full of twists and turns, some have shone on stage but are now quietly retired, and some have even left this world forever.
Meng Fei has gone through the baptism of wind and rain from the enthusiastic teenager back then, and now his face is full of vicissitudes. Although his career has had its ups and downs, the changes in his married life are even more remarkable.
Gong Cien has gradually slipped from the peak of being known as the "dream lover" to the trough of marriage failure, but she has always maintained a positive attitude.
And Wu Yujuan, the hottest actress in the mainland in the past, is now difficult to regain her former glory, and the ups and downs of married life make her feel tired.
The stories of these actors all tell the ruthlessness of time and the bitterness and joy of life. The heroic image they once created on the screen is now just ordinary people, who have been tempered on the road of life.
The shock and emotion brought to the audience by "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" are still clearly visible today. Although the leading actors of this classic work have undergone earth-shaking changes, their style back then will forever remain in the hearts of the audience.
Time flies by, and the years are ruthlessly destroyed, but the good memories brought by this drama are eternal.
