Preface
Time flies, time flies. In this hurried time, some people's lives are like a brilliant glow, lasting and shining. They use their wisdom and talent to carve an extraordinary life in an ordinary world. Today, let's remember one such artist - Liu Songren. His legendary life will take you through the fog of time and see the gorgeous scenes; His wise character will reveal your unique understanding of life. Now, let's start this unique spiritual feast together!
1. Acting giant Liu Songren, no one can match his superb acting skills
When it comes to this old actor, it is easy for everyone to think of several classic characters he played. Whether it is Fang Jinxin in "The Great Era" or Zhu Wuzhi in "Railway Camp", he can perfectly show his unique acting skills.
The little guy once turned over and called the shots? He blended Fang Jinxin's desire and persistence into detail. The cold-blooded demon general? With a deafening roar, he brought his manic and unruly inner world to life.
Oh my God, how did he do it? Thinking about it, his acting skills are a work of art, and it takes more than just qualification and diligence to achieve such a high level of acting.
It has to be a state of mind. Born in a rich family, he could have returned to his hometown in fine clothes, but instead of being content with the status quo, he devoted himself to this ocean-like acting career.
Even in the new field of TVB, he is still the one who shines. One classic character after another was born, all infused with his unique and meticulous interpretation. He carved the character into his heart and performed it with his life to achieve this step.
There is a weirdo in the crew, he is a sick girl, and most of his 67-year-old life will fall into the dilemma of getting older and slanting. But Liu Songren is like a weirdo who doesn't play cards according to common sense.
More precisely, he is a "sick girl". Once when working with Jiang Xin, the crew arranged a difficult action scene that rolled down the stairs. According to common sense, no matter what stand-in is used, it is better than letting an old man who is over the age of sixtieth ever go into battle in person.
But Liu Songren didn't, he insisted on trying. As expected, he was wounded. This is his dedication and dedication to delving into the role, which is breathtaking. The role is far more important in his heart than his own safety. Even at this age, he has always retained the drive and madness of a young man. This is Liu Songren, an acting master who combines the double peak of acting skills and spirit.
2. Remembering Liu Songren's radiant but lonely career peak
Liu Songren: That glorious but lonely peak moment
Speaking of Liu Songren, what everyone naturally thinks of is his unparalleled acting skills. But the life of this actor has not been soaring all the way, and he has been on the verge of a trough.
Who is the winner of the Golden Bowl Ladder? The award cannot hide his strength
In terms of skills, Liu Songren is definitely recognized as a top master in the entertainment industry. is such a drama king-level figure, the strange thing is that he has never won the highest honor like Emperor Shi.
was shortlisted for TVB TV Emperor seven times, but in the end he returned empty-handed seven times, which is really ironic. The audience saw it in their eyes and said that TVB really owed him this emperor.
Liu Songren himself is very uninterested and does not care about the results of the awards. Perhaps, it is this uniqueness that does not follow the crowd that makes him only appreciate himself but no one appreciates it.
How far is the distance between the actor and the work?
Today, Liu Songren has passed the age of his establishment, but he still closes himself off to the outside world. When the reporter asked him about his private life, he ignored it and just talked about his work. He wants people to focus on the work itself, not on personal criticism.
While this made him highly focused on his career, it also alienated him a lot from his relationships. Perhaps, it is this transcendent personality that makes this powerful person seem a little lonely and lonely at the peak of his career, right?
Birth, old age, and illness will always be everyone's turn
Liu Songren's career path has come to this day, and he has passed the age of antiquity. At this stage, the topic of birth, old age, sickness and death naturally began to be discussed.
In 2020, some media broke the news that Liu Songren was in physical condition and was suspected of having a stroke. At that time, there were even photos of him walking on crutches on the Internet, which was worrying.
However, fortunately, a staff member soon came forward to clarify that it was not a stroke, but just an accidental injury during rehearsal. But even so, this also arouses everyone's worries about the withering of this old actor.
After all, at this age, life does face many uncertainties. We can only pray that this pillar-like old actor can enjoy a stable and peaceful old age in the future. The years are ruthless, and the people are old, but what Liu Songren left us will be eternally shining.
3. The happy episode of Liu Songren's love life
Liu Songren's other half of his career: a happy episode of love
When an actor's career reaches its peak, but his love life is still barren, this is probably a very painful thing for all entertainers. And Liu Songren once fell into such a predicament.
Being single for many years has allowed Liu Songren to have no ties in his career, but as he gets older, he also begins to think about the fate of his old age.
Although the past is prosperous, but the future may only be a lonely old empty nest, how can he not be sad and miserable? Just when he was almost desperate, a chance encounter opened a new chapter in his life.
The encounter of fate, a glance for ten thousand years
On a flight in 1992, a flight attendant walked past Liu Songren. Unexpectedly, that glimpse completely touched the heart of this popular actor. At first, Liu Songren expressed his favor by writing love letters, but he never thought that the other party had misunderstood his original intention. Fortunately, in the end, the two untied the knot, and the fiery love story began.
The age gap is just a number, less than one ten-thousandth of love
Not to mention the huge age difference of 22 years, even if it is a difference between the heavens and the abyss, in Liu Songren's eyes, it is just a floating cloud. For this love that transcends time and space, he devoted himself wholeheartedly without hesitation, and interpreted his obsession with his wife with his actions. When his wife saw this sincerity, she was also moved by him like crazy, and finally the two turned their rivalry into friendship.
The wild rose blooms in the wilderness, and the beauty arrives as scheduled
Although the life after marriage is uneventful, Liu Songren and his wife still find the meaning of happiness in the daily bits and pieces. Even if the two failed to give birth to an heir in the end, the elderly couple never had a disagreement because of this. On the contrary, it was his wife's infatuation that made Liu Songren extremely moved.
So, when they returned home from work, they hugged each other and slept together; When the years kiss the skin into the wind, they are still the same as before. The head of the family must be sick, this is the last portrayal of Liu Songren's life. And the biggest luck in this life is probably to finally find her where her heart belongs.
4. Liu Songren's valuable character of dedication to career and calm life
Liu Songren: The core password of the art giant
When it comes to Liu Songren, everyone naturally thinks of his outstanding acting skills and legendary career. But this is only one aspect of his life, and when he really took a closer look, he found the unique character contained in this old drama bone.
In his decades of experience, he has never been tarnished by fame
Many people think that famous actors will more or less have the taste of capitalists. But Liu Songren is completely different from this impression.
Along the way, he has never been carried away by the temptation of fame, and still maintains a persistent craftsman's heart. For each role, he worked tirelessly to study and dedicate, completely ignoring his own gains and losses.
Once, for a scene where he rolled down the stairs, at the age of 67, he insisted on going into battle in person, and was finally injured. This is the kind of dedication and fanaticism he has for his career, which is almost crazy.
Is he destined for nothing, or is he a late bloomer?
Focusing only on his career will inevitably make people think that Liu Songren is a rigid workaholic. This is not the case.
In fact, for him, acting strength is far more important than that diploma. So even if he was nominated for the emperor seven times and failed seven times, he never lingered on it. Because he knows very well that a true artist does not measure achievements by fame and fortune. It's better to be like him, indifferent to fame and fortune, and only seek self-fulfillment, this calm and calm attitude towards life is the most valuable character.
The last tenderness, the flame that will eventually be extinguished
I have to say that if a person's life only has a career, there is still something missing after all. Fortunately, Liu Songren finally found the other half of his life.
Although the marriage between the two is happy, Liu Songren's respect for his wife is even more moving. His wife was reluctant to have children, and although he regretted it, he finally chose to respect her decision.
People are old and yellow, and the gentle years will eventually leave. But it is precisely because of this last tenderness that Liu Songren's fire of life can burn forever and not be cooled by time.
This is Liu Songren, an artist who can be called a living treasure in the theater world, a wise person who is calm and persistent in life. His life is the most perfect interpretation of human character.
5. To commemorate the glorious era of Hong Kong film and television and the outstanding actors of the older generation
The end of the golden age of Hong Kong cinema
When it comes to Liu Songren, we seem to see the signs that Hong Kong's film and television industry is going to twilight. The successive withdrawal of this old actor undoubtedly marks the end of a glorious era.
The empty alleys of the past are now withered
Do you still remember? In the heyday of Hong Kong film and television, as soon as a new film was released, it was a lively scene full of people and crowded. The uninhibited image of heroes on the screen has taught generations of people to have infinite longing for life.
And today, when we watch those old drama bones who were once upon a time idolized by countless fans leave one after another, we can't help but worry about the future of Hong Kong films.
Newcomers in the industry, are you like us, who have a lot of respect for the older generation of giants such as Xu Wenhu, Chen Musheng, Wan Ziliang, and Dillon? Their passing away is tantamount to falling stars in the film industry.
Cherish each other and walk together through thick and thin
On the road ahead, where will the film and television industry go? We have no way of knowing. But one yard to one yard, even if the past light is dimmed, the kind of craftsman heart who is dedicated to the cause and pious to art will always be worthy of our learning and inheritance.
Because as long as we continue to work hard and affectionately, we will be able to continue the brilliant glory of Hong Kong film and television. When we hold the light of film and television art in our hands and move forward in the wind and rain, those departed predecessors will also become our solid home.
In the sky, a lingering remnant sun is slowly rising, but a new morning sun will eventually rise, driving away the twilight and warming the world. May we and those who come after us remember this truth and be evergreen.
epilogue
Everything in the world will disappear one day. But those who bring light and warmth to this world, their footprints will never be erased by time. Liu Songren is one of them. His departure is certainly a sigh, but he has set a valuable example for us with his life: dedication to the cause, calm and indifferent to life, this core value is the real eternal immortality. So, let us remember and emulate his wisdom and continue to write a wonderful life on the line of life continuation.
