Fei Xiang's life story stems from a romantic encounter that transcends borders. His father, Fei Weide, an United States with a great love for Chinese, moved to Taipei for work. On an ordinary day, Fei Weide is attracted to a beautiful woman who is about to go to the post office to deliver a letter, and that woman is none other than Fei Xiang's mother, Bi Lina.
Like all miracles in love, this chance encounter made Bilina a little angry at first - how dare a foreigner dare to secretly photograph her? But Fei Weide's sincere explanation instantly resolved the misunderstanding.
The two met by luck and quickly fell in love, eventually forming a family and giving birth to Fei Xiang and his sister Fei Shuai.
As a mixed-race child, Fei Xiang's appearance inherited and integrated the advantages of his parents, with a tall figure, a high nose bridge, and gray pupils, which gave him a unique advantage in his future acting career.
However, the young Fei Xiang did not immediately embark on the path of art, he studied medicine at Stanford University United States and lived a carefree life.
In his first year at Fei Xiang University, fate took a turn for the worse. His sister Fei Shuai was diagnosed with terminal cancer and died after two years of struggle. This blow was fatal for Fei Xiang.
In order to realize his sister's unfinished musical dream, Fei Xiang made a bold decision - to give up the medical profession and devote himself to the field of art instead.
This decision was endorsed and supported by the parents. The death of their daughter made them realize the shortness of life, so they chose to respect their son's decision and let him pursue his dreams.
So, Fei Xiang followed his mother back to Taiwan and began his artistic career.
In Taiwan, Fei Xiang's talent was quickly recognized. His handsome appearance and charming voice attracted the attention of the signing company. His first album was a huge success and quickly propelled him to the "top stream" position.
Thus, a half-breed who could have become a doctor embarked on the road to a brilliant star and began a legendary chapter in his life. However, real life is not as rosy as a fairy tale. Fei Xiang's mother opposed this relationship, she believed that only a top actress like Lin Qingxia was worthy of her son.
Under the pressure of his mother and the opposition of fans, Fei Xiang fell into a dilemma, he couldn't give Ye Qianwen a clear promise, which eventually led to the two breaking up, and this relationship became an eternal regret in Fei Xiang's heart, and it may also be one of the reasons why he is still unmarried.
After the emotional setback, Fei Xiang devoted all his energy to his career. By chance, he received a precious "letter from home" from his grandmother. This letter made Fei Xiang realize that his mother had not come home to see his grandmother for a long time.
In order to fulfill his mother's wish, Fei Xiang resolutely decided to take his mother back to the mainland for development, even if he faced the situation that the company threatened with "blocking".
After returning to the mainland, Fei Xiang's career ushered in a new peak. On the Spring Festival Gala of that year, his song "A Fire in Winter" instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the national audience. However, what is little known is that this performance almost punished the director of the Spring Festival Gala.
At that time, Fei Xiang was wearing a tuxedo, dancing "disco" on the stage selflessly, the picture was too amazing, in order not to let the audience see it too clearly, the leader only asked the director to shoot his upper body, but the director Deng Zaijun thought that he danced so well, why couldn't he shoot, and insisted on shooting all over the body, which left those classic pictures.
After becoming famous, Fei Xiang's popularity exploded. In the era when there were no mobile phones, his whereabouts were still clear to fans. The show was packed, and there were even fans willing to spend a lot of money to go down to all the rooms next to him, just to be able to meet him.
However, when his career was at its peak, Fei Xiang made a surprising decision - to quit the entertainment industry. He believes that if you can't bring something new to the audience, you need to go to further education.
So, he went to United States Broadway to study musicals, starting from scratch, step by step to the position of lead singer, his decision shocked the fan world, many people spontaneously organized banners to retain him, but Fei Xiang insisted on his choice, showing his persistent pursuit of art and the style of "perfectionist".
Time flies, and the 62-year-old Fei Xiang appeared in the audience's sight again, this time he returned to the stage as the "most handsome king", and his performance in the movie "Fengshen" sparked heated discussions among the audience.
The box office of the film exceeded one billion, Fei Xiang's performance attracted much attention, and the audience admired his charm as it was back then.
"Fengshen" director Wu Ershan began to prepare for the film as early as 2018, and he had very high requirements for the actors, who needed to be able to truthfully restore the background of the story and the image of the characters. Among them, Fei Xiang, as an actor who plays the role of "King of the Ring", has a great responsibility.
It is recorded in the history books that the king not only has the unparalleled beauty in the world, but also is brave and good at fighting, showing an extraordinary overlord demeanor for the 62-year-old Fei Xiang, this role is undoubtedly a huge challenge.
When Fei Xiang learned that he needed to flex his muscles in the film, he was shocked and surprised. He couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expose my body when I was young, but now that I'm older, I need to be exposed on a larger scale." ”
However, Fei Xiang did not back down from difficulties and challenges, but chose to rise to the challenge, a year before the filming of the movie, he began a strict fitness program and diet control, this training intensity is something he has never experienced before, and even needs to force himself to eat food he doesn't like.
Fei Xiang's efforts were not in vain. He only started to join the group when the other actors he participated in had been filming for three months, just to ensure that the results of his hard work could bring a stronger impact to the audience.
Not only that, but he also had to adapt to the heavy costumes in the play, and the armor of the King of Xuan was so heavy that he couldn't hold it without a good physique.
Fei Xiang's performance not only won the appreciation of the audience, but also gained many fans of different ages, such as "auntie fans" and "girl fans". The "princess" Yuan Quan in the play couldn't even hide her admiration for Fei Xiang in front of her husband Xia Yu.
This 62-year-old "old drama bone" proves with his strength that age is not an obstacle, as long as there is pursuit, he can create miracles.
Fei Xiang's return is not only a personal success, but more importantly, it has injected new vitality into the entire film and television industry. He showed with practical actions that actors should not be limited by age, but should constantly challenge themselves and break through the limits.
Fei Xiang's image of "King of the Rings" not only successfully reshaped the audience's perception of historical figures, but also redefined the possibility of mature male actors.
Fei Xiang's return has caused heated discussions, but it has also brought some questions, such as questions about his nationality. As an artist with United States citizenship and living abroad for many years, some viewers expressed doubts about his role as a Chinese historical figure.
This skepticism is not unfounded, but reflects the audience's emphasis on cultural identity and historical presentation.
In the face of these doubts, Fei Xiang maintained his usual honesty and self-confidence. He freely acknowledges his identity as an United States, while also emphasizing that he has Chinese blood in his veins, which is what he is most proud of.
Fei Xiang said: "Having Chinese blood in his body has always been his proudest thing", this deep love and recognition of traditional Chinese culture is the key to his ability to deeply understand and interpret the role of "King of the Ring", and he used his performance to prove that cultural identity is not only a matter of nationality, but also a heartfelt emotional connection.
In addition to the nationality issue, some people also questioned that Fei Xiang's return was to "circle money". This kind of questioning is not uncommon in the entertainment industry, especially for artists who have not appeared for a long time. However, Fei Xiang's response to this was unexpected.
He bluntly said that he was not short of money to take over "Fengshen" purely because he admired the talent of director Wu Ershan, and was attracted by the creativity of this movie Fei Xiang said: "If it weren't for Director Wu Ershan's invitation, I like this movie very much, otherwise I wouldn't have taken this play."
Fei Xiang has insisted on pursuing the purity of art for many years, and although the number of his artworks is small, each one is regarded as a masterpiece. The concept of quality over quantity is also the reason why Fei Xiang chose to quit the entertainment industry to study musicals at the peak of his career.
Fei Xiang's response demonstrates his independence and persistence as an artist. He proved with practical actions that his return was not for fame and fortune, but to show an excellent work. This attitude has won the respect of many audiences, and it also allows people to see a real and three-dimensional Fei Xiang.
His experience tells us that true artists will not be swayed by external doubts, but will stick to their own artistic ideas and pursuits.
In the eyes of the public, the 63-year-old Fei Xiang's lifestyle is more unique. He is still unmarried and lives alone, accompanied only by two cats. This way of life has sparked many people's curiosity and discussion.
However, for Fei Xiang, he may have found the free lifestyle he wanted. His early love affair with Ye Qianwen ended due to his mother's opposition, and this experience gave him a new perspective on marriage, and he may prefer to devote his energy to artistic creation rather than being trapped by worldly expectations.
Fei Xiang's lifestyle reflects his emphasis on personal space and independence, and he has chosen a different path in a society that generally pursues marriage and family.
Although this choice is not understood by everyone, it shows an artist's loyalty to himself and his art.
Fei Xiang's creative philosophy has always been that quality is more important than quantity. Despite the small number of his works, each one is carefully crafted. He once said: "If it weren't for the invitation of director Wu Ershan, and I like this movie very much, I wouldn't have taken this play." It is this attitude of pursuing perfection that made Fei Xiang dare to quit the entertainment industry at his peak and go to United States to study musicals.
Although Fei Xiang's life choices are not understood by everyone, he shows his loyalty to himself and art as an artist. In this fast-paced era, Fei Xiang interprets what true freedom and happiness are in his own way.
His story teaches us that there is no fixed pattern in life, and that everyone has the right to choose their own way of life.
For Fei Xiang, the 63-year-old life is lonely, but comfortable. He interprets the meaning of life in his own way, showing an attitude of life that does not follow the crowd and is true to himself.
Perhaps, it is this unique way of life that allows Fei Xiang to maintain the vitality of art at the age of 62.
Fei Xiang's return can be called a "counterattack" success, and it is also a continuation of the legendary life of the 62-year-old. His performance as the king of the gods in the movie "Fengshen" not only made the box office of the film exceed one billion, but also aroused widespread heated discussions.
This return not only shows Fei Xiang's stunning appearance, but also demonstrates his persistent pursuit of art and unique attitude towards life.
Fei Xiang's pride in his Chinese heritage allows him to be passionate and understanding in his portrayal of Chinese historical figures. Although he holds United States citizenship, he has always stressed: "Having Chinese blood in his body has always been his proudest thing." This sense of cultural identity allows him to delve into the complex historical figure of King Xu.
Fei Xiang chose to pursue a free lifestyle, showing his personality of independent thinking and not following the crowd. At the age of 63, he has not stopped his love of life, choosing to live alone with two cats, a lifestyle that is not understood by everyone, but reflects the importance he attaches to personal space and artistic pursuits.
Most importantly, Fei Xiang has always been committed to bringing high-quality visual feasts and artistic enjoyment to the audience. Although the number of his works is relatively small, each one is a masterpiece.
In order to perfectly interpret the role of King Su at the age of 62, he made unimaginable efforts, strictly controlled his diet, carried out high-intensity training, and even sacrificed communication with other actors to maintain the sense of majesty of the role.
Fei Xiang's story reminds us that age is by no means a limit. As long as we have a passion for art and a pure love for life, we can create miracles at any time and depict our own unique life legend.
His 62-year-old "counterattack" not only represents his personal success, but also inspires the entire film and television industry to rejuvenate itself, showing the endless possibilities of mature male actors.
