When we think of Chaplin, we all think of the comical image of the little beard, thin cane, oversized pants and leather shoes, and the crooked formal evening dress. Chaplin's achievements in life were very high, and he made many famous films, not only wrote and directed his own sketches, but even served as his own producer and editor. Chaplin's father died prematurely at the age of 37, and his mother suffered from a nervous disease, and was sent to a school for poor orphans at a young age, after which she left school to become a street child. Chaplin suffered a lot as a teenager, but as an adult, Chaplin relied on his talent and hard work to make himself a big star known all over the world. At the same time, he also lived a particularly good age - 88 years old.
However, there is such an actor, who has also been called the Chinese version of Chaplin, who has the same childhood as Chaplin, but does not have Chaplin's later good fortune. He is a Taiwanese actor who can't promise.
Born in Taiwan in 1951, Xu Bu could not support Xu Bu because of his family's poverty when he was young, and his biological parents gave him to Ye Qingjiang and Xu Mingzhu, the head of a stunt troupe. Xu Bu's adoptive parents have extremely bad tempers, treat Xiao Xu very strictly and cruelly, and even often scold him. However, this also helped Xu to learn fire swallowing, juggling, ventriloquism, magic, playing musical instruments, playing jazz drums and other skills, laying a solid foundation for his later acting career. Due to the hard training from childhood, he was even locked up in a small iron cage for a long time, and his young body could not withstand the destruction, which led to the later Xu can not always curl his back.
Xu can't read any books, but has practiced a good job, such as swallowing table tennis with his mouth, even if his mouth is stuffed with table tennis, he can drink water. Since then, Xu Bu has been touring with his father. When He was not 20 years old, he met a lover who liked his magic very much, and later the two married, and then the couple toured everywhere.
However, what really made Xu unable to become famous was this opportunity, once, the famous singer Feng Feifei was unable to play for some reason when a member of an exclusive dance group could not play for some reason, and Xu could not replace it. Wang Shigang, deputy director of the Program Department of China Television, signed him because he could not see Xu. "You Love the Weekend", "Leifeng Pagoda", "A Rainbow", "Success Ridge" and other variety shows and film and television works have not made Xu famous, and what really makes Xu not popular is the comedy movie "Joker".
In the early years, Taiwan's showbiz circle and the underworld were entangled, and after becoming famous, Xu Bu became a cash cow in the eyes of the underworld, filming day and night, plus running around and playing drama, Xu Bu's body deteriorated, and eventually he was plagued by illness. What makes Xu Bu most painful is not the torment of the disease, but the impersonal humanity from the outside world. Physically and mentally tortured, Xu Bu eventually withered, drank heavily, and ruined his body faster, and finally died in 1985 at the age of 34 due to various diseases and refusal to treat.
As singer Luo Dayou said, "Xu Can't be the best comedian I think Taiwan has ever had." As a comedian, Xu Bu is extremely successful, but his life is also "endless" like his stage name "Xu Can't Be". The Taiwanese harmonic sound of "promise can't be promised" means "bitter and unfinished".
