After the rise of short videos, a very important presentation is that some old actors who do not often appear now often appear on the screen, so that old audiences can see their current state of life. Just these days, a home video of veteran actor Lei Kesheng showed how he is now 85 years old.
In the video, it can be seen that although Lei Kesheng is still positive and optimistic like an old child occasionally, he has shown a lot of old age, especially on the table next to him with a lot of medicines. Therefore, many netizens have left a message, please take care of your body.
Lei Kesheng has acted in dramas all his life from dramas to sketches to film and television dramas, but like Wu Mengda, he has almost played supporting roles all his life, especially in film and television dramas. But he still won the recognition and respect of many audiences.

A native of Shandong, Lei Graduated from the Acting Department of the Central Academy of Drama in 1960 and subsequently entered the National Drama Theatre. For many years, Lei Kesheng has portrayed roles on the drama stage, the most famous of which is to play Ah Q in the drama "A Q Zheng Biography" in the early 1980s.
It was at this time that Lei Kesheng began to contact film and television works, and since then, he has acted in more than 100 works in decades, mostly in various supporting roles.
In 1986, Lei Kesheng and Song Dandan starred in the movie "Crescent Moon", which is based on Lao She's novel. The two also got acquainted, and two years later, they performed the sketch "Lazy Man Blind Date" together on the spring evening of CCTV, one playing a lazy man and the other playing Wei Shufen, who had a bad eye.
Among the movies that Lei Kesheng has acted in, the more well-known ones are "Fragrant Soul Girl" and "Qiu Ju Fights a Lawsuit", in which he plays a somewhat bullying village chief and has many rival scenes with Gong Li.
1994's "Back to Back, Face to Face" is a typical official theme film, and Lei Kesheng, who looks simple, plays the old horse of the cultural audience. This kind of image is also the image that Lei Kesheng has created the most in his works, and generally has a strong local atmosphere, which is very close to the earth atmosphere.

Of course, the audience is familiar with Lei Kesheng more through the TV series. He has guest starred in "I Love My Home", played Lu Gui in the TV series "Thunderstorm", and acted in "Snowless Winter" and "The Gate of the Big House". In 2005, he played Lu Dake in the hit drama "Qiao Family Compound", and also acted in "Running After Happiness" with Guo Degang.
Over the years, Lei Kesheng still has not forgotten his old line of dramas, playing the role of the elderly in "The Gate of the Big House" and "Four Generations Together", and later starred in the Spring Festival Gala sketch with Huang Hong. Just this year, he also participated in the CCTV Lantern Party with Tian Hua, Li Guangxi and other veteran actors, and sang the main theme song "Go to the People". It can be seen that although he is old now, the spiritual head of Lei Kesheng's old man is still very strong.

Lei Kesheng is probably such an old actor, speaking of his name, many viewers may not be able to pronounce the word "Ke", but many of the works he has starred in are very impressive.
Although Lei Kesheng has hardly played a leading role in film and television dramas, he takes even a small cameo role seriously, which also adds luster to the work. Due to the limitations of the image and other conditions, most actors have no way to play the main role as soon as they debut like Zhang Ziyi and Liu Haocun, but these old actors in supporting roles also deserve our respect.
Sometimes, the light they emit is no dimmer than that of the protagonist.
