Yu Zhanyuan (1905-1997), a famous Peking Opera performing artist and martial artist, was born in 1905 in the chaotic era of the Beijing Division Shuntianfu (now Beijing). When he was young, he was a famous Peking opera artist, and after going to Hong Kong, he sang on stage and acted on the screen. Founded the "Chinese Drama Studies Academy", he received many apprentices, especially the "Seven Little Blessings" is the most famous, and among the disciples, Jackie Chan, Hong Jinbao, Yuan Hua, Yuan Biao, Yuan Heping, Yuan Qiu and others almost carried half of the Hong Kong martial arts films.
01
Born in 1905 in the midst of a chaotic beijing dynasty, Yu Zhanyuan was a peking opera family in Shuntianfu (present-day Beijing), and was a famous Peking opera artist when he was 7 years old.
Peking Opera master Yu Zhanyuan
In 1948, Yu Zhanyuan, like many northern artists, went south to Hong Kong, which was still a British colony at that time and lacked Peking opera talents, in order to promote the culture of Peking Opera. When he first arrived in Hong Kong, Yu Zhanyuan seemed very unaccustomed, so he did not do much at first, but his young daughter Yu Suqiu came to the fore, split a new road, and began to shoot movies in the film company of Hong Zhonghao and others. In the early 1950s, Yu Suqiu, who had a background in martial arts, opened up her popularity in the Hong Kong film and television industry with the image of the movie "Beating Women".
Yu Zhanyuan, who came from Peking Opera, occasionally made cameo roles in films starring his daughter, such as "Qin Liangyu" and "The Sword Knots a Good Relationship" and other movies. Occasional cameos are not even small fights, and Yu Zhanyuan's hobby is still the opera he is familiar with. At that time, Hong Kong had always been the world of Cantonese opera, and the audience of Peking Opera was very small, and there was a lack of talents in this area. After consideration, Yu Zhanyuan took an important step in his life and founded the "Chinese Theater Research Academy" with the help of his friend Qian Xiangying.
A northerner who came to Hong Kong for the first time was not familiar with the place of life, no one knew him, and he was not a famous school, so the "Chinese Drama Research Academy" founded by Yu Zhanyuan did not cause much repercussions at that time. But yu Zhanyuan is also a famous Peking opera master after all, Peking opera as the national essence of the time, is still very valued in Hong Kong, Yu Zhanyuan is a practical person, the establishment of the school is to cultivate Peking opera talents. Therefore, after the establishment of the school, it has successively received some students, like Yu Suqiu's boss, Hong Zhonghao, the director of the South China Film Factory, saw that his grandson Hong Jinbao was stubborn, and sent Hong Jinbao, who was only 9 years old, to the "China Drama Research Academy".
Once a student enters the profession, he or she needs to sign a deed of life and death, and during the many years of study, everything must obey the master's words and must not have any rebuttal. But the good thing is that Zhan Yuan did not mistake people's children, in order to cultivate Peking Opera talents can be said to be his best, his apprentices each have real skills.
Although the "China Academy of Drama Studies" looks quite atmospheric, in fact, the conditions are very difficult, not only the school building is simple and dilapidated, the apprentices can only squeeze into a room to sleep together, not even a bed, can only spread blankets on the ground to sleep.
In order to support Yu Zhanyuan's school, Qian Xiangying not only paid for it, but also sent a pair of twins (Golden Dragon and Silver Dragon) to his drama school to study. Since his grandson Hong Jinbao loved martial arts since he was a child, he let him learn with his two uncles. Hong Jinbao and his two uncles are about the same age, and people call them 'triplets'.
02
Among the members of the "Seven Little Blessings", Hong Jinbao was the first to follow his master Yu Zhanyuan, which is why the other members called Hong Jinbao "Master Brother".
When he was a child, Hong Jinbao was still very thin
Hong Jinbao's family lineage can be described as "prominent" in Hong Kong at that time, his grandfather Hong Qi (also known as Hong Zhonghao) was a film producer and director, he founded Film Companies such as Golden Dragon and South China in Shanghai and Hong Kong, produced and directed many "martial arts films", and Hong Qi was also the owner of the film company where Yu Suqiu's daughter Yu Suqiu worked.
Grandmother Qian Xiangying is China's first generation of martial arts female stars, known as "Hong Mama" in Hong Kong. Many popular stars at that time recognized her as a dry mother, including Zhou Runfa, Qin Xianglin, Zhang Guorong, Zhou Xingchi, etc., and Lin Qingxia, Mei Yanfang, Liu Jialing and so on.
Uncle Hong Shen was a well-known film and drama artist. As early as the 1920s, the drama "The Fan of the Little Grandmother" adapted by him was continuously performed on the stage, and later moved to the screen many times. The Shanghai Theatre Association, chaired by Hong Shen, was an influential drama group in the early Chinese theatre scene. Written by him, "Song Girl Red Peony" is the first sound story film in the history of Chinese cinema.
His uncle, Hung Shu Yun, was also a famous choreographer in Hong Kong, and his wife was Cantonese film star Yung Yu Yi.
When he was a child, Hong Jinbao was very stubborn, often running away from school affairs and stabbing a lot of Lou Zi at home. Born in a film family, he will inherit the film career in the future, which is both a coincidence of chance and a fate arrangement, so that Hong Jinbao, who is only 9 years old, became Yu Zhanyuan's disciple in 1958.
In school, unlike at home, Yu Zhanyuan treats students equally and is extremely strict. Young Hong Jinbao got up early every day and practiced in the dark was very hard, and once had the idea of quitting school, so he secretly ran back home three times, and the last time his mother sent him back with tears. He knew in his heart that his mother's tears were not reluctant to him, nor did she hurt him, but she was sad and disappointed for his indisputable anger.
After this, Hong Jinbao changed his laziness in the past, but became very attentive and hardworking, and began to be fascinated by practice.
Once, he practiced handstands on the table for an hour and a half, when his head and hands were numb, and when he came down, his head was broken by the corner of the table and bleeding, but he didn't know it, and wondered how the sweat was hot.
Hong Jinbao's martial arts and performance understanding is very high, in just three years, under the careful cultivation of Master Yu Zhanyuan, various Peking Opera roles such as Qingyi, Xiaosheng, Caidan, and LaoDan can be switched freely. At the age of 12, he entered the film circle as a child star and starred in his first film "The Education of Love".
Another proud disciple, Jackie Chan, treated Yu Zhanyuan like a son
Jackie Chan was born in Hong Kong and moved to Australia with his parents since childhood. When he was a child, he often fought and caused trouble, so he dropped out of school at home after finishing the first grade of primary school.
Jackie Chan with his father
In 1961, after Returning to Hong Kong with his family, Jackie Chan became his master and in the same year entered the China Theatre Academy founded by Jang Yuan to learn stage makeup and stage performance skills.
In the ten years around Master Zhanyuan, Jackie Chan worked hard, his performance ability and martial arts level improved rapidly, and he could become a world-renowned kung fu superstar, which was inseparable from master's strict teaching in his early years.
Since Jackie Chan's father has been working in Australia for a long time, Jackie Chan's mother takes care of Jackie Chan in Hong Kong every day. The family of three was far away from the ocean, and he had not seen it for several years, and he could only hear his father's familiar voice through the trans-ocean telephone.
Years later, the father was finally able to find time to fly from Sydney, Australia, to Hong Kong to see his son. The night before seeing his father, Jackie Chan tossed and turned and could not sleep, and finally he could see his father who had been separated for many years, and Jackie Chan was extremely excited in his heart.
At school, Jackie Chan's father met his son, who had not been seen for several years and had grown tall, and he was extremely pleased to thank Master Yu Zhanyuan for his careful cultivation of his son in recent years. Master Yu Zhanyuan also affirmed Jackie Chan's efforts in recent years and praised him as the best actor in the school.
In order to express his gratitude to Master Zhan Yuan, before leaving, Jackie Chan's father arranged a dinner party. In fact, he was on this trip to return to Australia with Jackie Chan's mother, and he sincerely said to Zhan Yuan: "Master Yu, my wife and I will leave Hong Kong, and I would like to ask you to consider adopting my son as your godson." ”
Master Yu looked at Jackie Chan, faced with the sincere eyes of Jackie Chan's parents, and said gently: "He is not the best performer, but he has potential, and I agree to adopt him." After speaking, Master Yu opened a box with a sparkling gold necklace inside, and he took the necklace around Jackie Chan's neck and said kindly, "From today onwards, you will treat me like a son." ”
Since then, Jackie Chan has not seen his parents for many years, and Yu Zhanyuan has also kept his promise to Jackie Chan's parents, treating him like a son and cultivating him.

The training at the drama school was very boring, and everyone got up at 5 o'clock in the morning to train and practiced until 12 o'clock to eat. Continued training after meals and didn't end until the night. Sleeping an average of only 6 hours a day is really hard for these children who start training at the age of seven or eight.
Next to Jackie Chan is his sister Yuan Qiu
Due to the lack of school funds, the living conditions of the students are very simple, all the teachers and brothers are packed in a room with bunks, no beds, they simply lay a carpet on the ground, and everyone eats and sleeps together.
Under such difficult conditions, Yu Zhanyuan, with his strong will and the benevolence of a teacher who "preached and solved puzzles and taught", cultivated a group of well-known apprentices with far-reaching influence on the Hong Kong film and television industry.
Students entering the Drama Academy must sign contracts with Yu Zhanyuan for 3 years, 5 years, 8 years, and 10 years, and once signed, they cannot be changed, and during this period, the "private property" belonging to the master, even if they are killed, the family cannot be prosecuted. Of course, the income of the trainees during the contract period also belongs to the master.
Later, Jackie Chan and his brothers began to make money in martial arts, with 65 yuan per month, but they had to hand over 60 yuan to the master, and the apprentices only got 5 yuan.
As they grew older, Jackie Chan and his brothers felt more and more that this distribution method was very unfair, so they went to master en masse, hoping to share more money. Looking at these apprentices who were brought up by himself, Yu Zhanyuan deeply felt that they had grown up and had their own opinions, so he increased their monthly income to 30 yuan.
However, day after day of martial arts training and Peking Opera performance study, both boring and hopeless, many students have revealed their desire to perform on stage and show their skills.
In this regard, Yu Zhanyuan saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart. He thought that the children were practicing martial arts and performing hard with him, so that they could one day go to the front of the stage and become real screen stars. It's time for them to go out and meet the world and learn.
The establishment of the "Seven Little Blessings" drama class has created a generation of legends in the Hong Kong film industry
Seven Xiaofu and Master Yu Zhanyuan took a group photo
"Seven Little Blessings" is a Beijing drama created by Yu Zhanyuan for his apprentices, and it is also the general name of his group of proud protégés. There are dozens of apprentices in this gang, the most fixed and outstanding of which are Yuan Long (Hong Jinbao), Yuan Lou (Jackie Chan), Yuan Biao (Xia Lingzhen), Yuan Kui (Yin Yuankui), Yuan Hua (Rong Jizhi), Yuan De (Kong Xiangde), and Yuan Wu (Zhou Yuanwu) (Note: Jackie Chan's stage name at that time was Yuan Lou, and Yuan Long was the stage name of master brother Hong Jinbao. Later, when Jackie Chan, 5 years older, Hong Jinbao was about to go out to the film world first, Jackie Chan only topped the name of Yuan Long), of course, there was Yuan Qiu (real name Zhang Zhuannan), because the performance was very successful, Yu Zhanyuan took this opportunity to form a "Seven Little Blessings" drama class, which not only allowed the apprentices to increase their performance experience, but also earn some silver, which can really be described as "killing two eagles with one stone". This is the prototype of the "Seven Little Blessings" that later had a profound impact on Hong Kong and even the world film industry and became famous in the minds of film fans.
The only female apprentice in the "Seven Little Blessings" was Yuan Qiu
Yuan Qiu, whose real name is Zhang Zhuannan, was born in a Peking Opera family, and studied Peking Opera under the influence of his father since childhood, laying the foundation for learning martial arts.
The image of a heroine in the early years of Yuan Qiu
Yuan Qiu's parents are not Hong Kong people, in order to sing opera to make a living in Hong Kong to develop, when he was a child, the Yuan Qiu life was very difficult.
Yuan Qiu lived in a very traditional family, and the idea of son preference was deeply rooted in this family. Yuan Qiu's mother gave birth to two daughters in succession, which made her father unusually want to have another son to pass on the lineage, and before Yuan Qiu was born, his father thought of a name for her, called Zhang Zhuannan.
Unfortunately, the third child of the Zhang family is still a girl, which makes the parents disappointed, and the poor family has forced them not to worry about the upbringing of their three daughters. At that time, the "Chinese Theater Studies Academy" founded by Yu Zhanyuan was enrolling students, and Zhang's father decided to send her to Yu Zhanyuan to learn art. At the age of 7, Yuan Qiu officially became Yu Zhanyuan's apprentice.
After ten years of hard training around Yu Zhanyuan, in 1967, the 17-year-old Yuan Qiu began to enter the film circle as a stand-in, and in 1972, he first starred in the action movie "Standing Up to the Sky" directed by Zhu Mu, and at the age of 24, Yuan Qiu participated in the filming of the 007 series of movies "Golden Gun Man" in Thailand, becoming the originator of Bang Girl. Yuan Qiu, who is over 70 years old, is still active in the film and television industry with his fellow disciple Yuanhua, and has been in film for more than 50 years.
Yuan Qiu, born in 1950, can be said to be Hong Jinbao (there are two theories of birth, one is born in 1949, the other is born in 1952), Jackie Chan and other members of the "Seven Little Blessings" members of the master sister, in the drama class has a high prestige.
When Hong Jinbao changed his own words when playing, Yuan Qiu would bluntly educate Hong Jinbao. After Jackie Chan became an international superstar, he was affectionately respected by countless people as "big brother", but Yuan Qiu would still call him "big nose". Brothers of the same disciple, in addition to deep feelings, also have the majesty of the eldest sister, Yuan Qiu has long established the prestige of the eldest sister in front of the master and disciple, so so far the members of the "Seven Little Blessings" have great respect for this master sister.
04
In addition to Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan, and Yuan Qiu, Yuan Hua and Yuan Biao among the members of the "Seven Little Blessings" also had high achievements.
YuanHua, formerly known as Rong Jizhi, was born on September 2, 1952 in Hong Kong, China, and studied under Yu Zhanyuan, a Peking Opera performance artist.
Yuanhua's early film image, playing more villains
Yuanhua is slender, is a good material for practicing martial arts, can do a lot of difficult moves, and is recognized as the best martial artist among the Seven Little Fortunes.
Yuanhua debuted very early, as early as 1971, he and his brothers Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao, Yuan Kui and others entered Jiahe Film Company as dragon and tiger martial artists, where they met the first Bole ---- Bruce Lee.
In 1972, because Yuanhua's body shape was very similar to Bruce Lee,he participated in the performance of the first film "Jingwumen" as Bruce Lee's stand-in, thus officially entering the film circle. In 1973, he again served as Bruce Lee's martial arts stand-in in the action movie "Dragon Fight Tiger Fight" starring Bruce Lee.
"Dragon Fight Tiger Fight" shows Yuanhua's excellent talent for action performance, especially the height flip performance that exceeds the height of ordinary people, and it is highly affirmed by Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee intended to bring Yuanhua to Hollywood, but it was not long before bad news came, on July 20, 1973, bruce Lee, who was only 33 years old, died suddenly, which made Yuanhua, Lin Zhengying, and Chen Huiyi's Hollywood movie dream come to naught.
Soon after, Yuanhua joined the Hongjia class of his brother Hong Jinbao, and played a stand-in and supporting role in many movies, and the development of the film road was flat.
In 1980, Yuanhua finally had the opportunity to star, playing a wooden chicken in the movie "Hero Without Tears" directed by Er Dongsheng.
Yuanhua's star path is relatively smooth, in addition to the promotion of his brothers Hong Jinbao and Jackie Chan, there is also the care of his best friend Lin Zhengying. In 1985, Yuan Hua co-starred with Lin Zhengying, Xu Guanying, Qian Xiaohao and Li Saifeng in the horror movie "Mr. Zombie", playing ren Weiyong (zombie). In 1987, he co-starred with Hong Jinbao, Yuan Biao and Lin Zhengying in the action "Oriental Condor", playing the villain general. In 1988, he co-starred with Jackie Chan, Hong Jinbao and Yuan Biao in the action movie "Flying Dragon Fierce", playing Hua Boss Hua Xinwu. During this time, his roles were mainly villains, but there were no impressive roles, until 2005, when he starred in the chartered public in Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu", which opened up his popularity.
Waiting for a role tailored for himself, Yuanhua waited for 34 years.
In 2005, Yuanhua accepted the invitation of director Stephen Chow to star in the action comedy movie "Kung Fu", a reclusive master chartered public in the city, and to the surprise of many people, the role of charter wife was played by Yuanhua's sister Yuan Qiu. The two cooperate tacitly in the movie, the literary drama makes people laugh with tears, and the wonderful martial arts drama makes many people lament that Yuan Hua is over 50 years old but still so agile.
For his wonderful performance in the film, Yuan Hua won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 24th Hong Kong Film Awards, the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 10th Hong Kong Film Golden Bauhinia Awards, and the Best Actor Award at the 1st Global Chinese Golden Arts Awards.
At the award ceremony of the Golden Arts Award, Yuanhua's speech was very brief, but it touched countless people: "I just want to say: God did not lie to me, I worked hard!" ”
Yuanhua's success truly explains what is called the late success of the big instrument, and to this day, Yuanhua, who is nearly seventy years old, is still active in the film industry.
Yuan Biao, formerly known as Xia Lingzhen, was born on July 26, 1957 in Kowloon, Hong Kong, China, and entered the China Theater Academy founded by Zhan Yuan in 1964 to study Peking Opera. In 1967, he began to participate in film and television dramas as a child actor. From the late 1970s to the 1980s, he often followed his brothers Hong Jinbao and Jackie Chan to make films.
Yuan Biao and his brothers Hong Jinbao and Jackie Chan
Yuan Biao entered the film circle very early, in 1967, only 10 years old, Yuan Biao participated in Bruce Lee's "Jingwumen" and "Dragon Fight Tiger Fight". As the younger brother of Hong Jinbao and Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao often plays roles in films directed or starring in them.
The trio's "Plan A", "Summer Lucky Star" and "Fast Food Truck" are still classic Hong Kong movies in the minds of many fans.
Yuan Biao is also a rare master of action direction in the Hong Kong film industry, and his achievements in action direction are higher than those in acting.
In 1983, Yuan Biao designed the action for the film "Loser Boy" and won the Best Action Direction Award at the 2nd Hong Kong Film Awards
In 1984, Yuan Biao designed the action for the film "The Magic Trick of the Five Lucky Stars", which won the Best Action Direction Award at the 3rd Hong Kong Film Awards
In 1992, Yuan Biao's film "Tibet Kid" won the Best Martial Arts Instructor Award at the 29th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards.
Yuan Biao's success is inseparable from the vigorous promotion of his brothers Hong Jinbao and Jackie Chan, in the golden age of Hong Kong martial arts movies in the 1980s, Yuan Biao often followed two brothers, both as martial arts instructors and film roles, the "Iron Triangle" composed of three people, together with other members of the Seven Little Blessings, jointly supported half of the Hong Kong film industry.
Hong Jinbao and Jackie Chan loved Yuan Biao very much, and even took care of his marriage.
Yuan Biao's personality is shy and introverted, not very good at expressing, and even talking to girls will blush, let alone fall in love.
In 1982, Hong Jinbao hired insurance salesman Peng Xiuxia to shoot the drama film "Beware of Little Hands" with Chen Xunqi, Wu Yaohan and others. In this film, Hong Jinbao not only made Yuan Biao an action director, but also asked him to direct Peng Xiuxia one-on-one.
An actor from a non-science class, why did Hong Jinbao ask her to act? And why let Yuan Biao teach her one-on-one? This is actually Hong Jinbao's intention to match this pair, hoping that Yuan Biao can rub love with Peng Xiuxia in the process of teaching drama.
Soon, the couple looked at each other and fell in love. A year later (1983), Yuan Biao married Peng Xiuxia.
In 2015, Yuan Biao's daughter got married, and Hong Jinbao, Jackie Chan and other members of the Seven Little Fortunes came to attend the wedding. At his daughter's wedding, Yuan Biao wiped his tears with a tissue and said: Now that my daughter is finally married, thank you very much to everyone and my good friends, thank you to the eldest brother Hong Jinbao, he helped me find a good wife, thank you Jackie Chan, he let me help him make a lot of movies.
This is the brotherhood of the division, the brotherhood of the division that will not change for decades. Their master yu Zhanyuanquan knew about it, and should be pleased with it!
05
Seven Little Blessings are the benefactors of Yu Zhanyuan to celebrate his birthday
Since the "China Drama Research Academy" was discontinued in 1971 due to insufficient funds, Yu Zhanyuan's apprentices had to go out to act to make a living, of which the highest achievement was the "Seven Little Blessings", and the brothers were extremely successful in different fields. For example, Yuan Biao is the top action director in Hong Kong, Yuan Qing (Yuan Heping) is a famous director in Hong Kong, good at martial arts and fantasy themes, Jackie Chan broke into Hollywood, and eventually became an international superstar, Hong Jinbao was both a director and an actor, and made a lot of popular good movies. Yuan Hua and Yuan Qiu, who have been in the film for more than fifty years, are still active in the film circle.
It is said that famous teachers are high apprentices, as a master of Peking Opera, Yu Zhanyuan's greatest achievement in this life is not Peking Opera, but has cultivated a group of talents with far-reaching influence on the Hong Kong film and television circle by himself.
For the mentor Yu Zhanyuan, the disciples are like fathers, adhering to the filial piety as the foundation, every time on Zhanyuan's birthday or birthday, the disciples have to take time to accompany the master to celebrate the birthday and birthday.
After Yu Zhanyuan was 90 years old, his body was not as good as in the past, and he even had to fly to the United States for treatment because of physical reasons. Among the Seven Little Blessings, Hong Jinbao and Master Yu Zhanyuan were the closest, and during Yu Zhanyuan's treatment in the United States, Hong Jinbao was busy filming, but as long as he had time, he flew to the United States to visit Master Yu Zhanyuan. When he visited Master for the last time, Master was nearing his limit.
Hong Jinbao immediately ran to the hospital where Master was located, and when he saw the emaciated Master on the hospital bed, Hong Jinbao went forward in pain and wanted to hug him, but Master Yu Zhanyuan coldly pushed him away and said, "Who are you?" I don't know you. ”
When Hong Jinbao heard that master's reading glasses were not worn, he might not have seen it clearly, and then Hong Jinbao stood in front of master and said, "I am Sanmao, Master!" Seven Little Blessings of Sanmao Hong Jinbao! ”
Yu Zhanyuan looked in disbelief: "You are not Sanmao, you don't have a hair, how can it be Sanmao?" ”
Hong Jinbao suddenly collapsed and shouted on the spot, "I am Sanmao, Master, I am really Sanmao, you look at me!" ”
It was only at this time that Hong Jinbao learned that his master, who was over ninety years old, had suffered from Alzheimer's disease, and his memory was severely deteriorated, and he could no longer remember him. Seeing that master was tortured like this by illness, Hong Jinbao burst into tears on the spot, and in order to accompany master on the last journey, Hong Jinbao pushed away everything and never left the hospital.
In honor of his mentor, Jackie Chan made a stunning jump in the 21st-storey building in Rotterdam
In September 1997, Peking Opera master Yu Zhanyuan died of illness in a hospital in Los Angeles, USA, at the age of 92. At that time, Jackie Chan was filming the action movie "Who Am I" in the Netherlands, and after learning of the death of his mentor Yu Zhanyuan, he immediately stopped filming and flew from Amsterdam to the United States.
This shutdown caused the film and television company to lose millions of Hong Kong dollars, but even if the filmmakers came up with various reasons to prevent Jackie Chan from going to the United States, they could not stop his determination to send his mentor on the last journey.
Jackie Chan once said: "If there were no four years, there would be no Jackie Chan today." Chen Zhiping is the father of Chen Gangsheng, and Yu Zhanyuan is the father of Jackie Chan. ”
After handling his master's funeral, Jackie Chan returned to the Netherlands to continue filming the movie "Who Am I". In the Maersk Building in Rotterdam, Jackie Chan insisted on not having a stand-in, and jumped amazingly from the twenty-first floor, a difficult action that stunned everyone on the scene, and the Guinness World Records also awarded this thrill as the most dangerous action shot record in the history of world cinema.
Jackie Chan said at the time that he was still immersed in the pain of losing his master, and this jump was to commemorate his recently deceased mentor Yu Zhanyuan.
Although a generation of Peking Opera master Yu Zhanyuan traveled to the west, the wealth he left to Hong Kong films was enough for him to be remembered by the world.
