Distant past
Time passes silently, changing the face of things and people's attitudes - in the forty-three years since the release of "Bashan Night Rain", the traces of youth have dissipated, and the lives of the former actors have also undergone earth-shaking changes.
That far-reaching and enduring film has now become a distant memory in the minds of a generation. Those characters who once brought the audience to tears have now turned into the dust of history, which is embarrassing.
Xiao Juanzi, Qiu Shi, the old lady and other characters, their once lifelike images on the screen, have now been baptized by the vicissitudes of time, and some have even left us.
Looking back on the emotion when I first watched this movie, now I look back again, but it is no longer the scene of the past. Those once unforgettable episodes are now only a helpless sigh.
Forty-three years have passed, and many actors have already entered middle age or even old age, some have disappeared from public view, some have chosen to retreat into the background, and some have left this world forever.
The audience's impression of them has long been stuck at that high-spirited age. Gone are the days of passion and energy, replaced by the endless desolation of "things are not people".
Those unforgettable faces back then have long been unrecognizable, and the passage of time is so ruthless.
The years of elegance and peerlessness
In 1980, as soon as "Bashan Night Rain" was released, it caused a huge response and became a big surprise in the film industry at that time. The characters with different characteristics in the film are all remembered by the audience.
Among them, the heroine Zhang Yu became a blockbuster with her superb acting skills. That year, she successively won the honor of Best Actress at the Hundred Flowers Award for Popular Films and the Best Actress at the Golden Rooster Awards, and became one of the most watched movie stars at that time.
In the same year, she also played the heroine in the movie "Lushan Love", and the romantic kiss in the film has become a monument in the history of mainland film.
It is no exaggeration to say that 1980 was undoubtedly the most brilliant year for Zhang Yu.
Another male protagonist, Li Zhiyu, successfully created the image of a depressed poet in "Bashan Night Rain", who has experienced hardships and is full of loneliness in his heart. The interpretation of this role also left a deep mark on the screen.
He is revered as a "literary giant on the silver screen", and his outstanding talent has won the attention of everyone in the film industry in the 80s, and he has been praised again and again!
In addition, Zhong Xinghuo won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actor for his superb acting skills, and actors such as Ouyang Ruqiu also successfully created unforgettable character images in the film.
At that time, they were in their youth, emerging in the film and television industry, and their future was limitless. Zhang Yu, Li Zhiyu and others have all become hot stars in the film industry and are deeply loved by the audience.
However, who would have thought that those who starred in this far-reaching and timeless classic will now grow old, and some of them have even left us.
That era of vitality and passion has become a historical memory. The faces and characters that once made people fall in love with them have now become obscured with the passage of time.
However, despite the ruthlessness of the years, the artistic value contained in this film will forever be recorded in history and will never fade.
Time flies, and personnel are no longer available
Forty-three years have passed in a hurry, and the actors in "Bashan Night Rain" who used to be infinitely beautiful in the past have now entered middle age and even old age. Some have chosen to retreat into the background, others have disappeared from public view, and others have passed away.
Zhang Yu, who was once a smash hit, became famous with the movies "Lushan Love" and "Bashan Night Rain", and was known as "Zhang Yunian". However, her acting career after going abroad was not smooth, and few works have been released for many years, and she is now 66 years old.
She has experienced a marriage that ended in divorce, and now she is alone, childless and daughterless, living a plain and low-key life.
Another actor, Li Zhiyu, was also one of the most sought-after actors in the film industry that year. He played the image of an intellectual who has gone through vicissitudes in "Bashan Night Rain", which deeply touched the hearts of the audience and was known as "a literary giant on the screen".
However, in his later years, he unfortunately passed away due to illness at the age of 85. His family life was also quite controversial, with two marriages breaking down and a strained relationship with his children.
In addition, Zhong Xinghuo's role as the kind and upright policeman Lao Wang in the movie is still impressive. It was for this role that he won the collective award for Best Supporting Actor at the first Golden Rooster Awards.
However, when the years passed to the twilight of his life, he was ruthlessly spurned by his children, and he never won the deep understanding of his family, and he was still alone and alone until his death.
What is especially worthy of our deep thought and remembrance is that the image of the eldest lady successfully created by Ouyang Ruqiu in the play undoubtedly left an unforgettable impression on the audience. Her interpretation of this optimistic, soft and rigid mother image in the film is tear-jerking and touching.
However, in real life, she fell into endless self-blame and remorse under the huge blow of losing her beloved daughter, until she died suddenly in 2007 at the age of 89.
In addition, there are also outstanding actors such as Mao Weihui , Zhang Min and other outstanding actors, after the film hit the air, they chose to temporarily bid farewell to the film and television industry and pursue their own life path. Mao Weihui has now transformed into a world-renowned pianist, while Zhang Min chose to marry in a foreign country and live a low-key and happy life.
Although these former bright stars are no longer in appearance, the vivid characters they portray on the screen are still timeless and unforgettable.
Time flies and personnel changes, but the artistic value contained in this film will never fade and shine like a treasure.
Art is eternal, life is short
The characters in "Bashan Night Rain" have long been witnesses of history, and those actors who were once young and beautiful have also embarked on completely different life journeys.
Among them, Xiao Juanzi's slightly immature, but affectionate image is still unforgettable. Mao Weihui, who was only 6 years old at the time, won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress with her superb acting skills, and has now become a world-renowned piano master.
She resolutely left the film and television industry and devoted herself to the music career, and finally achieved outstanding achievements in this field. And another actress, Zhang Min, successfully created the image of a woman with a bumpy fate in "Bashan Night Rain", which left a deep impression on the audience.
Since then, she has emerged in the domestic film and television industry and participated in many popular masterpieces, but finally chose to go away and marry a foreign friend, and has since faded out of public view. The trajectory of her life has also changed dramatically over time.
These actors, who once left a deep mark on the screen, have now embarked on different life paths. Some people choose to retreat into the background and work silently, some people choose to disappear and return to ordinary life, and some people have even left us and left this world forever.
However, regardless of the passage of time, the sincere humanistic care and admirable artistic value contained in the film "Bashan Night Rain" cannot be easily washed away by time.
This work has become an unforgettable and precious memory in the hearts of that generation, and it will surely continue to infect and touch people in the future.
Looking back on the past, those characters who once shined on the screen have now turned into a speck of dust in the long river of history, and the actors who once portrayed these roles have also changed their life paths dramatically over time.
Some have made great achievements in their acting careers, while others have faded into obscurity.
However, the artistic value left by this film is eternal. It has been deeply imprinted in the memory of that era and will continue to move generations of viewers.
