Once upon a time, it became a trend for actors and stars to emigrate overseas, and highly respected old artists such as Chen Kaige and Zhang Tielin changed their foreign nationality one after another, and started to "make money at home and spend abroad." ”
But not every celebrity admires foreign charm, there are also some backbone stars who would rather pay a million fines to retain their Chinese nationality, and some people are unmoved by the temptation of foreign countries.
Next, let's take stock of those star directors with patriotic hearts, each of whom is respectable, and also slapped the faces of those colleagues who worship foreign countries.
The source of this article comes from the authoritative reports [China News Network], [China Net], and [Guangming Net] (the detailed source is attached at the end of the article). In order to improve the readability of the article, the details may be polished, please read sensibly and for reference only.
No.1 National Teacher Zhang Yimou
He is a representative of the fifth generation of directors in the mainland, not only has classic works such as "Red Sorghum" and "Hero", but also served as the chief director of the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and the 22nd Beijing Winter Olympics.
His excellence in his works has allowed him to contribute to top film and television dramas, becoming a highly respected director, and he is also awe-inspiring in his patriotism.
Zhang Yimou has had countless opportunities to change his nationality, the closest of which was in 2014, when he and Chen Ting were reported for violating family planning and had three children.
This attracted the attention of the Wuxi Municipal Family Planning Bureau, and after investigation, they were charged 7.4878 million yuan in unplanned birth fees in accordance with the law, and such a huge fine also attracted many people's attention.
At that time, Zhang Yimou's friend suggested that he change his nationality, so that the problem was directly solved, after all, Chen Kaige and other famous directors had changed their nationality at that time, but it did not affect his career in China.
But Zhang Yimou rejected his friend's proposal, not only paid a one-time fine of more than 7 million, but also broke off relations with this friend.
Later, some media broke the news that in fact, Zhang Yimou has not changed his nationality all the time, he applied for a green card in the United States in the 90s, but at that time he did it for his daughter's schooling, and they withdrew the green card early after her daughter returned from school.
No.2 Big Brother Jackie Chan
As a world-renowned kung fu superstar, Jackie Chan's influence is obvious to all, and he will be warmly welcomed wherever he goes to film.
If Jackie Chan wants to change his nationality, countless countries will take the initiative to welcome it, and he also has countless opportunities to change his nationality, he was born in Hong Kong, and then moved overseas with his parents.
But with the increase of age and experience, his sense of identity with the motherland has become higher and higher, and he has been actively promoting Chinese kung fu and China's image.
After that, he achieved great success in Hollywood, and he would probably have achieved more if he had become an American citizen, but he never thought of changing his nationality and insisted that he was Chinese.
His son Fang Zuming obtained American citizenship because he was born in the United States, but he has always instilled patriotism in his son, and has helped him apply for mainland nationality more than once, and has repeatedly ridiculed that Chinese nationality is the most difficult to apply for in the world.
Although the eldest brother has a lot of problems in his private life, such as the problem of his illegitimate daughter and his son's drug abuse, it is undeniable that his patriotism far exceeds that of many actors.
Although he is now nearly 70 years old, the eldest brother is still active in front of the screen, actively promoting Chinese kung fu and China's image, and has also appeared on CCTV and local stations for the Spring Festival Gala many times.
No.3 Donnie Yen
He is another outstanding representative of martial arts films, especially the Ip Man series of films, which have been widely praised around the world, but he has also been controversial and questioned because of his nationality.
And his nationality dispute mainly stems from his childhood experience, Donnie Yen was born in Guangzhou but lived in Hong Kong with his parents at a young age, and immigrated to the United States at the age of 11, he does not have a deep memory of the mainland.
But this does not affect his patriotism, because his mother was born in martial arts, so he practiced martial arts with his mother when he was very young, and he also developed patriotic thoughts under his mother's teaching, and has a strong sense of identity with China and Chinese kung fu.
As an adult, he returned to China to learn martial arts under the influence of his idols Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan, and has been developing in the Hong Kong entertainment industry since then.
By 2007, he had successfully changed the nationality of himself and his family back to China.
So when the host introduced him, he said, "Let's welcome Mr. Donnie Yen from the United States. ”
He immediately replied: "I am Mr. Donnie Yen of China, not Mr. Donnie Yen of the United States." ”
Such a sonorous and powerful response also received warm applause from the audience.
In addition, Donnie Yen is also nostalgic for his hometown, and every year he returns to his hometown Taishan on the day of Qingming Festival to worship his ancestors, and he also donates money to his hometown to build roads, and silently does a lot of good deeds.
No.4 Venus with a poisonous tongue
As the sharpest program host in the mainland, Jin Xing is ruthless when she complains about stars, and her bumpy and tortuous past has also attracted the attention of many people, but in any case, Jin Xing has never been ambiguous about nationality.
She had also considered applying for a U.S. green card when she was studying dance in the United States, and even had a fake marriage with her then-girlfriend for this reason, which also became a hurdle in her heart, and she regretted it when she mentioned it later.
It's just that although she is married to her American girlfriend, she has not filled in the information on the application form for the green card, but has always retained her Chinese nationality.
Later, after many ideological struggles, she decided to face up to her gender and met a boyfriend from Belgium, who wanted her to change her nationality to Belgium so that they could register their marriage.
But his proposal was directly rejected by Jin Xing, and in order to "reborn" herself on the soil of her homeland, she decided to return to China for surgery, after which she also put her focus back on the country.
After the transition, she met her husband Hans, and the two adopted three children, and she insisted that they settle in China in the face of the nationality of the children, and even divorced Hans for this.
It wasn't until April 11 this year that she officially announced the news of her remarriage to her husband on social media, and she said hard that her nationality has never changed.
No.5 Little brother Fei Yuqing
Although the little brother's songs are always affectionate, and he likes to say some dirty little love words, he is now close to 70 years old and is still single and has never married.
In fact, the little brother also had a relationship when he was young, when he went to Japan to develop, and met a beautiful Japanese girl, Chie Yasui, and once developed to the point of talking about marriage.
But Yasui Chihui hopes that the younger brother can change his nationality to Japanese, so that the two can always live and develop in Japan, and many Taiwanese artists also changed their nationality to Japanese at that time.
But such an offer was directly rejected by the little brother, and he made it clear that he was an upright Chinese, and although he liked Yasui Chie very much, he would not change his nationality for this.
The two eventually broke up because of this problem, and had no choice but to break up, and although the little brother lived alone, he never regretted his decision not to change his nationality.
In addition to the recognition of Chinese identity, Xiaoge is also extremely concerned about charity, whenever a major natural disaster occurs in China, he will donate money and materials as soon as possible, and has also won the most infectious charity star.
The little brother's patriotism is also second to none among many Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, and it is bound to become an example for many Hong Kong and Taiwan stars to learn.
Epilogue:
In fact, there are many stars in the entertainment industry who resolutely do not change their nationality such as Jackie Chan and Zhang Yimou, such as Tranquility, who was married to an American, who once domineeringly posted his passport and household registration book to prove his nationality, and Liu Xiaoqing has never changed his nationality.
Patriotism should never just be on the lips, but to pay for their real actions, especially the star artists in the entertainment industry, their words and deeds will affect many people, so they should lead by example.
There is no doubt that these celebrities and artists have set a good example for others, and as an audience, we should also be able to distinguish between right and wrong, and support these truly patriotic stars and idols, just like Dong Chou said: "Hualiu is the most powerful!"
