The mythological drama "Journey to the West" in the mainland was simply a childhood memory for the post-80s and 90s.
At that time, the six-year-old boy who played the Monkey King, Wan Qiwen, who played the white bone spirit, and Zuo Dajun, who played the Guanyin Bodhisattva, all left a deep impression on us.
Among them, Zhu Longguang, who played the role of the Buddha, left the most profound impression on everyone.
And since he played the role of the Buddha, he has encountered a series of "strange things", and even his Chinese nationality is almost gone!
Zhu Longguang was originally a small actor, but he didn't expect to become popular overnight.
At that time, director Yang Jie couldn't find a suitable candidate for the Buddha, so he found Zhu Longguang to audition in desperation.
Everyone was still questioning this unknown junior, but as soon as Zhu Longguang appeared, the audience was stunned.
His facial features are upright, and there is a solemnity in his gestures, which is simply the reincarnation of a living Buddha!
The director immediately decided that Zhu Longguang would play the role of the Buddha.
For this role, Zhu Longguang practiced hard for half a year, and finally presented a lifelike image of the Buddha in front of the camera.
After that, he didn't expect that a TV series would change the trajectory of his life.
Things have to start with the broadcast of "Journey to the West".
This drama stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and it was not only popular all over China, but also spread to Southeast Asia and other Buddhist countries.
Zhu Longguang's image of the Buddha deeply touched the audience in these countries, and they all said that Zhu Longguang was the reincarnation of the Buddha.
At first, Zhu Longguang only received some letters from audiences in Buddhist countries.
The envelope is written "Shakyamuni Zhulong Guangshui", it seems that these viewers really regard him as a Buddha!
Zhu Longguang felt very fresh after reading it, and collected these letters well.
Unexpectedly, the matter became more and more intense, and someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs suddenly came to the door and handed Zhu Longguang an important document.
A letter of state from Nepal! The Nepalese people unanimously agreed that Zhu Longguang was the living Buddha.
He is strongly welcome to return to his hometown and wants him to renounce his citizenship to live in Nepal.
When Zhu Longguang saw the content of the national letter, he was instantly stunned.
He is a legal Chinese citizen, how can an actor be a real Buddha?
But the enthusiasm of the Nepalese people seems to have caused trouble, which has made Zhu Longguang anxious.
In the end, with the joint efforts of Zhu Longguang and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this "nationality dispute" was resolved.
But even more incredible things are yet to come. When Zhu Longguang traveled to Thailand, he accidentally found a Buddhist plaque printed with his own head in a local temple!
It turned out that the local Buddhists also regarded him as a living Buddha and specially made Buddhist plaques to worship.
Zhu Longguang laughed and was angry when he saw it, it was really ridiculous.
In China, there are also many people who worship Zhu Longguang as a true Buddha.
Once Zhu Longguang went to the Big Buddha Temple to film, and he wanted to stay low-key.
As a result, as soon as they went to the hall, everyone knelt down with "the Buddha has appeared", which startled Zhu Longguang.
These things are so unbelievable that Zhu Longguang began to shy away from his role as a Buddha.
But the most amazing thing is the "strange thing" that happened during the filming of "Journey to the West".
As soon as Zhu Longguang arrived in the new place, it immediately rained on the original sunny day, as if Grandpa Tian was also welcoming the arrival of the true Buddha.
Even the Guanyin Bodhisattva played by Zuo Dajun has the same "stunt".
This left everyone speechless, and could only believe that God was joking.
In fact, the reason why Zhu Longguang and Zuo Dajun can perform the role of gods and Buddhas so exquisitely is precisely because they are extremely attentive.
In order to find the feeling of playing a role, they did not hesitate to spend time in the temple to observe.
In any case, Zhu Longguang staged a big drama of "Buddha's retreat" for us.
An ordinary person was pushed to the altar because of an opportunity, and regained his ordinariness under the healing of reality.
Zhu Longguang used his life experience to deduce the truth of "inseparable, at ease".
Fortunately, everything settled, Zhu Longguang returned to a simple family life, and lived an ordinary and contented life with his wife and children.
This may be the best place for him.
