Under the dim light, the gray-white hair emitted a soft and faint light, and Yang Kun's face that had gone through the vicissitudes of life was depicted with the deep imprints left by the years. She sat alone in the small live broadcast room, with only an old mobile phone and a pair of earbuds in front of her, which constitute all the "equipment" she now relies on for a living.
Today's Yang Kun can only rely on a meager pension of 2,500 yuan per month after retirement, but in the bustling metropolis of Shanghai, such an income is obviously not enough to support her basic living expenses.
As a famous actor in the past, Yang Kun now has to let go of his past noble status and devote himself to the live broadcast industry.
Although he has entered old age, Yang Kun still maintains an optimistic attitude towards life. Her live broadcast room is simply and concisely arranged, she has never hired any assistants, and she takes care of all the affairs herself.
Before the start of the live broadcast, Yang Kun will always carefully sort out all the goods, debug the equipment, and make full preparations for the upcoming live broadcast.
Although the number of viewers is not large, and the income from bringing goods is not satisfactory, Yang Kun has never complained to his followers for help. She always smiles and greets every audience who comes to the live broadcast room with a positive and optimistic attitude.
Sometimes, she also shares stories from her life with her fans, like a kind and friendly elder.
When we saw this old man in his late sixtieth year so resolute and courageous to face the many challenges of real life, we couldn't help but feel an indescribable pain in our hearts.
It is a great pity that a lonely old man should have enjoyed his old age and spent the last days of his life happily, but he still has to run around for a living at this age.
Looking back at Yang Kun's past, we must go back to her young years. Born into a family of artists, her father was a well-known drama actress and her mother was a talented singer, she grew up in an artistic family environment.
In her childhood, Yang Kun often sat under her parents' stage and watched their wonderful performances with full attention, thus burying endless yearning and pursuit of her acting career in her heart.
With a firm pursuit of artistic dreams, Yang Kun was admitted to the prestigious Shanghai Theater Academy as he wished. However, beautiful visions always pale in the face of reality, and the moment she first stepped into the school gate, it was as ruthless as pouring cold water to awaken the sleeping courage in her heart.
In such an environment full of talents, Yang Kun's slightly immature face seems to have lost its former glory among many beautiful classmates and has become a small role that no one cares about.
However, in the face of such a predicament, Yang Kun did not choose to retreat, but strengthened his belief and decided to use his excellent acting skills to make up for the lack of appearance. Like a hungry person pounced on bread, she devoted herself to the research and improvement of her acting skills, carefully polished every role, and devoted herself to the exploration and practice of acting.
In the eight years since graduating from university, Yang Kun has always adhered to the post of a dragon actor, and the hardships of life even make her sometimes unable to solve the basic problem of food and clothing. However, she has never wavered in her determination to become a good actress, like a devout pilgrim, persistently pursuing her ideals and dreams, even if the road ahead is full of thorns.
After a long and arduous effort, Yang Kun finally waited for the long-awaited turnaround. In 1992, she successfully created an image of a gentle and intellectual teacher in the campus drama "Sixteen-year-old Flower Season".
This is the first time that Yang Kun has won the opportunity to perform with her unique temperament, and before that, she has been rejected by the director many times due to her ordinary appearance.
It was this role that made Yang Kun enter the audience's field of vision for the first time. She vividly interpreted Teacher Tong's personality characteristics, which won the enthusiastic response and unanimous praise of the audience.
Finally, the once unknown little character is no longer drowned in the crowd, but is truly known and loved by the people.
Since then, Yang Kun's acting career has gradually become clear. Her role has also become more and more important, and although it is still a supporting role, it is no longer an inconsequential small role, but a role that allows her to give full play to her talents and show her superb acting skills.
Every wonderful performance has brought Yang Kun one step closer to the dream in his heart.
In the depths of her heart, she has always eagerly awaited the opportunity to play the heroine. Although her career as an actress has gone through a long time, Ms. Yang Kun has never given up her dream.
It was in 2002 that her dream finally came true!
At that time, she had already entered middle age, and for the first time she served as the heroine of a TV series, starring in the work "Opening Joy". As soon as the play was broadcast, it immediately aroused enthusiastic responses, and even won the highest honor of the "Asian Future Award" at the German Television Festival, which is enough to prove that Ms. Yang Kun's acting skills are superb and touching.
This is undoubtedly the highest recognition of Ms. Yang Kun's hard work over the years. Since then, whether she is playing the leading role or a supporting role, she will devote herself to the role and no longer be entangled in the identity of the role.
As long as the script is excellent and the characters are precious, Ms. Yang Kun will definitely concentrate on interpreting it.
However, just as Ms. Yang Kun's acting career was in full swing, her family life fell into the abyss of trouble. In 2008, a news story about Ms. Yang Kun's indictment caused an uproar in all walks of life, making people jaw-dropping.
It turned out that Ms. Yang Kun was subject to legal proceedings for arrears of up to 45,000 yuan in property fees.
As a well-known senior actor, a mere 45,000 yuan is insignificant for Ms. Yang Kun, even an ordinary family can easily afford it, why is she so in arrears that she needs to settle it through legal means?
It wasn't until later that a shocking truth was revealed.
It turned out that Ms. Yang Kun's husband had failed in business investment, leaving the family mired in tens of millions of debts. In order to repay this huge debt, they had to dump all their possessions, and even their villas in the bustling city of Shanghai were forced to sell, but they still failed to pay off all the arrears.
It is precisely because of the poverty situation of the family that Ms. Yang Kun will owe 45,000 yuan in property fees to the district.
During those difficult years, Ms. Yang Kun frequently appeared in major hit dramas, sparing no effort to work hard to help her husband pay off his debts. As the saying goes, "Husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster comes", but Ms. Yang Kun did not choose to abandon her husband and escape alone, but firmly chose to face difficulties with him.
The fate of this couple is comparable to the beauty of a long-standing river, they met and got to know each other in the initial simple and ordinary, and established a deep and strong emotional bridge, which lasted for decades! Even in the face of debt-ridden and difficult circumstances, Yang Kun still unswervingly chose to move forward with his beloved partner, and held up this unsustainable family with his strong and powerful hands.
When the years passed quietly, Yang Kun gradually changed from a tiger chasing dreams to a loving tigress. In the complex entertainment industry, playing the role of a mother often symbolizes that the actor has entered the middle age stage of his life, and he is gradually moving away from those young and beautiful protagonists.
However, instead of feeling frustrated or lost, Yang Kun actively challenged himself and tried to play various roles to enrich his acting career.
With unremitting efforts, Yang Kun has gradually grown into a representative figure of the role of mother. Her portrayal of the evil mother-in-law, the spicy wife and other characters often arouse heated debates and even abuse from the audience.
Especially in the 2015 popular TV series "Ode to Joy", the role of Ying Qin's mother played by her is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which is unforgettable, and Yang Kun portrayed this bitter and ignorant mother image vividly, making the audience both angry and helpless.
Once, when Yang Kun was shopping for ingredients in the supermarket, he was sneered at and maliciously insulted by a vegetable vendor. The vendor mercilessly swept Yang Kun's carefully selected vegetables to the ground, and roared: "I will never sell vegetables to a ruthless and unrighteous mother like you!" Obviously, Yang Kun's superb acting skills have been deeply integrated into the character, so much so that the audience can hardly tell the boundary between her and the character in real life.
A sudden incident of online violence broke out in an instant, and a large number of insults swept towards Yang Kun like a raging storm. Some viciously cursed her for never having children, while others wantonly humiliated her as a "crying old lady."
In the face of such tremendous pressure and accusations, Yang Kun did not feel frustrated or retreated because of this, but had a unique understanding and perception of this.
She firmly believes that it is precisely because the audience can be so deeply moved by the characters she has created and devote themselves to the plot that it proves that her acting skills are extraordinary and the characters are well shaped.
Otherwise, there would not have been such a strong emotional resonance In her eyes, this is precisely the highest praise and affirmation of her acting skills.
Yang Kun has always adhered to his ideals and beliefs, from his dream of becoming an outstanding actor when he was young, to finally achieving certain results on the road of acting after many hardships.
However, real life often presents curved ups and downs, making it impossible to predict where the future will go. When Yang Kun was about to usher in the twilight of her life, fate ruthlessly hit her hard! .
