"A teacher is a person who acts with his life."
This is what Pu Cunxin said about her in 2000 when he heard the news of the death of a Renyi senior.
This old-timer is named Li Wanfen, although many viewers are not familiar with her now, but the "big red bag" she played in the TV series "Four Worlds in the Same Hall" contributed textbook-level acting skills.
With her superb acting skills, Li Wanfen was not only rated as a national first-class actor, but also appeared on the Spring Festival Gala in 1986 to perform the sketch "Gift", although she was not beautiful, but the audience at that time was full of praise for her.
But who would have thought that Li Wanfen, who was so spicy on stage and open-minded off the stage, had a very bumpy experience.
The source of this article comes from the authoritative report [Chinanews.com] [Beijing Satellite TV "Glorious Bloom"] [Sina Entertainment] [Beijing Evening News] [Life Times] (the detailed source is attached at the end of the article). In order to improve the readability of the article, there may be polishing of the details, please read sensibly, for reference only!
After her death, she learned that she was frail and sick, and thousands of people saw her off
24 years ago, November 21 was the day to bid farewell to Li Wanfen, and nearly 1,000 people from all over the country rushed to gather around Babaoshan, watching Li Wanfen's relatives and friends before her death under the guidance of her two sons, to say their final goodbye to her.
Although Li Wanfen always plays some not positive roles on the stage, the audience's evaluation of her is surprisingly good, and many of the people who bid her farewell are ordinary people, who came here just because they like Li Wanfen's plays.
Li Wanfen's daughter also revealed to reporters that in fact, although Li Wanfen looks optimistic about her enthusiastic eldest sister all day long, she is actually not having a good time in private, and was even found to have 19 diseases at one time.
But whether she was tormented by illness or encountered difficulties in life, Li Wanfen always showed a sunny and cheerful appearance, and she had just moved into a new home shortly before her death, where she was interviewed for the last time in her life.
Unexpectedly, Li Wanfen, who was still focused on the stage at that time, has now quietly left the world, but fortunately, there are still many interesting things about her, which have been shared by relatives and friends who came to mourn.
Although she has a kind personality, Li Wanfen is still very strict with art, and even Song Dandan, who is now known as an "old artist", was almost rejected by art because of Li Wanfen.
It turned out that when Song Dandan entered Beijing Renyi, the interviewer he met happened to be Li Wanfen, although Song Dandan tried his best to amuse the other judges, Li Wanfen still mercilessly pointed out Song Dandan's shortcomings on the spot.
"This kid will definitely be fatter in the future, fatter than I am now!"
As soon as these words came out, Song Dandan was almost overwhelmed by fright, but fortunately, Li Wanfen did not deliberately target her, and she only made this suggestion in the hope that she could pay more attention to body management in the future.
In addition, there are many interesting facts about Li Wanfen, but when her death was widely reported, the special features of Li Wanfen's three children and two surnames attracted the attention of the audience.
It turned out that while Li Wanfen was struggling on the stage, she also experienced two ups and downs.
Facing the ups and downs of life, he became a strong backing for his three children
Li Wanfen, who was born in 1932, has 7 sisters in the family alone, so you can imagine how "lively" it is, but because her father has a decent job as a teacher, Li Wanfen grew up in a good environment when she was a child.
Under the careful care of her family, Li Wanfen, who has many hobbies, was admitted to the Drama Department of North China University as an adult, and also participated in the large-scale drama "Red Flag Song" in 1950.
Although she is not famous, Li Wanfen's career is not bad, as early as 1952, she followed the changes in the school and became an actor in Renyi.
It was also during this period that Li Wanfen formed a family with her first husband and gave birth to a son and a daughter, one named Wang Shuo and the other Wang Jing.
But the good times didn't last long, although Li Wanfen and her husband had two crystallization of feelings, they failed to give this marriage a good ending, and the two finally divorced, and she took her son to remarry and start a new life.
But fate made people, Li Wanfen didn't please in the second relationship, so after this relationship, she became a single mother with a son, and this time she also had a younger son Yuan Jian.
When the first ex-husband had an accident, even her daughter returned to Li Wanfen, which is good, although she has no husband to rely on, she still has three children to make up for the shortcomings in her heart.
However, Li Wanfen's positive and optimistic background has never changed because of her unsatisfactory feelings, and she has experienced all kinds of bloody storms, but she is very good to relatives, friends and daughters-in-law.
Just the day before she died, Li Wanfen was still cooking soup for her youngest son's girlfriend, and the little girl recalled chatting with the prospective mother-in-law at the dinner table, and her eyes couldn't help but burst into tears.
As for the eldest daughter-in-law Li Nan, who has already passed the door, Li Wanfen has nothing to say to her, she doesn't preach or put on the elders' stand, which is the heartfelt evaluation of her by the eldest daughter-in-law who is silent on weekdays.
But her personality and treatment of people are just the impression of Li Wanfen by the people around her, and more comments about her have to start with the stage career of this old artist.
From playing the female villain to the Spring Festival Gala, she left too many memories in the hearts of the audience
Although Li Wanfen's career time is not late, she has been in the entertainment industry for many years, and it was not until 1983 that she officially became popular, when she played a recognized female villain "Da Chibao" in the TV series "Four Worlds in the Same Hall".
This role is amazing, although she is annoying in the original book and often makes the audience angry, but Li Wanfen stunned her to play the depth and complexity, and after she finishes playing, the audience will not hurt the actor no matter how much they hate the role.
So Li Wanfen was so "a blessing in disguise", and the next year she was directly invited to the Spring Festival Gala to perform the sketch "Gift", and now she appeared on the Spring Festival Gala earlier than Zhao Lirong.
And even after retiring from Renyi at an old age, Li Wanfen still loves her acting career, and 8 days before her death, she also stood on the drama stage and acted in a play "Father and Daughter Horror".
After retirement, Li Wanfen not only still has a play to play, but also lives a life where she is invited by her neighbors to be a guest every day because of her enthusiasm, which is not a kind of happiness for a 68-year-old lady?
It's just that Li Wanfen's happiness didn't last long, she died because of a sudden accident, and she didn't even have time to receive the birthday gift prepared for her by her eldest son Wang Shuo.
Now Li Wanfen's children have also grown up and become families, and they have returned to an ordinary and quiet life, and even Song Dandan, who was complained about by her during the interview, has gone from a little girl to the age of retirement.
On June 23, 63-year-old Song Dandan mentioned her plans to retire in the variety show "Peach Blossom Dock", looking at her rising hairline and wrinkles on her face, the audience once again sighed that the years were urging people to grow old.
epilogue
Looking back on Li Wanfen's life, although she was riddled with illness, she lived her own style.
Her tenacity unique to an old artist and her dedication to acting are very moving.
It's a pity that Siren has passed away, and if you want to remember her, you can only look at the works she once appeared in.
