He is an "evergreen" on the theater stage, and he is still active on the screen at the age of seventy or eighty, bringing wonderful character creation to the audience. Today, the famous performing artist Mr. Shi Weijian has passed away, although countless film and television fans sigh, but also let us remember this veteran for more than 60 years, his superb acting skills and admirable perseverance.
"An actor should work hard all his life and never be complacent." This is exactly what Mr. Shi Weijian has been advocating for decades. He began his stage career in the 50s of the 20th century, and was soon recognized for his solid basic skills and outstanding acting skills. In 1953, when he was only 18 years old, he went to the Korean front with the crew and performed the inspirational drama "Liu Hulan" for the People's Volunteers. That expedition of nearly 10,000 miles was extremely difficult, but it gave him his first taste of life's suffering and perseverance.
In the following decades, Mr. Shi successively worked at the Central Experimental Theater and the China Youth Art Theater, playing the leading role in film and television works such as "Bear Track" and "Not a Person's Story", and starring in stage plays such as "One Servant and Two Masters", "Peach Blossom Fan" and "Fenshui Long Flow", which have been widely acclaimed. However, the most well-known masterpiece of his acting career is the film and television masterpiece "The Legend of Tianyun Mountain" directed by Xie Jin in 1981.
This five-episode TV series based on Xiao Hong's novel of the same name set off a huge repercussion across the country after its screening. It won many awards such as Best Feature Film and Best Actor and Actress in the first Film "Hundred Flowers Award", and has become a classic in literary and artistic works in the new era. And Mr. Shi brilliantly interprets the role of the male protagonist Luo Qun in the play, which is impressive. "The Legend of Tianyun Mountain" is a film and television masterpiece adapted from the novel of the same name by the famous writer Xiao Hong, which tells the moving story of the intellectual Luo Qun who supports each other and loves each other with his friend Feng Qinglan after losing his beloved girlfriend in the turbulent era.
In this award-winning masterpiece, Shi Weijian brilliantly interpreted the role of the actor Luo Qun. He portrayed the image of this young man who was once high-spirited and was hit by life but still did not lose the warmth of human nature. When he enthusiastically devoted himself to the "going to the mountains and going to the countryside" movement, but unexpectedly lost his beloved girlfriend Song Wei, the actor delicately showed the character's inner grief with his eyes and subtle expressions; When he was pulled by Feng Qinglan in a desperate situation and slowly regained his vitality, the audience could also clearly feel the transformation process of his heart from gloom to rebirth.
In order to better portray this role, Mr. Shi did a lot of preparatory homework. According to director Xie Jin's recollection, he not only interviewed intellectuals who had similar encounters with Luo Qun many times to learn more about their experiences and inner worlds, but also linked his own life experience to restore the inner experience of the characters with heart and affection. This kind of solid basic skills and hard work is the key to Mr. Shi's perfect acting skills.
In addition to his outstanding performance in "The Legend of Tianyun Mountain", Mr. Shi Weijian has also left superb acting skills in many excellent film and television dramas. In the 1983 movie "Qiu Jin", he played the role of the revolutionary pioneer Mr. Sun Yat-sen, vividly reproducing the style and charm of this great man. Immediately afterwards, in the 1991 drama "The Martyrdom of Sun Yat-sen in London", he once again performed the same role brilliantly, which amazed the audience. It can be said that Mr. Shi has successfully created a vivid and distinctive historical figure, allowing us to feel the smoke of that turbulent era as if we were there.
After entering the new century, Mr. Shi Weijian's acting career has become more and more exciting. In the 2004 urban drama "Chinese-style Divorce", which reflected real life, he accurately interpreted the image of a considerate and kind old father, which won the appreciation of countless audiences. In 2013, he played the role of Jiang Biwei's father Jiang Meisheng in the biographical drama "Xu Beihong", and showed the traditional scholar's life vividly through delicate performances.
Looking at his life, it is not difficult for us to find that Mr. Shi Weijian's superb acting skills and broad acting path are really extraordinary. He can be tall and mighty, or he can be elegant and kind; He can interpret the peerless monk who is immaculate, or he can incarnate a fierce and cunning grassroots drama. The charm of this "versatile" acting skill stems from his great attention and full preparation for each role. No matter who he plays, he will devote himself to studying the unique character and inner experience of the character, and strive to show it fully and vividly in front of the audience. Perhaps it is this dedication to the spirit of Liyuan that makes Mr. Shi Weijian still energetic and active on the screen in his later years, bringing us valuable masterpieces. His persistent pursuit of artistic career and unremitting study of acting career are the most worthy of learning for contemporary actors.
Looking back on Mr. Shi Weijian's long and wonderful artistic career, we cannot but be filled with emotion. This veteran artist, who has been acting for more than 60 years, has made outstanding contributions to the cause of Chinese TV dramas, films and dramas with his perseverance, tenacity and unremitting efforts. Since he was young, Mr. Shi has devoted himself to his artistic career. In 1953, when he was only 18 years old, he went to the front line of North Korea with the crew to perform for the People's Volunteers. The long journey was extremely arduous, but it forged his original intention and persistence in his career. In the decades that followed, he participated in the creation of almost countless classic plays of the time, whether it was stage plays or film and television productions, he did his best and conscientiously.
As a witness to the development of Chinese TV dramas, Mr. Shi Weijian has contributed a lot to the mainland film and television industry. In the 1981 film and television masterpiece "The Legend of Tianyun Mountain", he brilliantly interpreted the male protagonist, making this work a classic in the new era. Since then, he has shown his acting skills in excellent film and television dramas many times, such as "Red Rock" and "Mother's Story 2", all of which are meticulously crafted and show the spirit of the actors to the fullest.
What we should remember more is that Mr. Shi is also a master on the drama stage. He has played important roles in stage plays many times, bringing many historical figures to life in front of the audience. Whether it is the multi-faceted life of "One Servant and Two Masters", or Sun Yat-sen in "Qiu Jin", or Jiang Meisheng in "Xu Beihong", he can perfectly reveal the inner world of the characters through his external image.
Although the passing away of this "evergreen" in the art world has frustrated countless drama fans, his lifelong pursuit of excellence, rigorous and professional work attitude and persistent and tenacious artistic ethics will surely inspire those who come after him. As his friend and famous director Xie Jin once commented: "Shi Weijian is an actor who is never satisfied, and this desire for improvement is the fundamental reason for his achievements today." Yes, a generation of masters Xie Shi, but his persistent pursuit of the spirit of Liyuan will always be inherited. As latecomers, we should take this as a mirror and move forward bravely on the road of art.
