On July 10, Chen Changmin, the wife of Qin Long, who played a child star in movies such as "A River of Spring Water Flows East" and "Ten Thousand Family Lights", issued an obituary: Qin Long, her husband, was admitted to the Wangfu Hospital due to illness, and at 2:00 a.m. on July 10, 2021, the rescue was ineffective, and unfortunately passed away at the age of 82.
In the film industry, people seem to have little impression of the name Qin Long, but he has played children's roles such as Kangsheng, Dabao, and Youlai in the old movies "A River of Spring Water Flows East", "Wanjia Lights" and "Road Hero". However, in the art world, he is relatively well-known, a famous Chinese painter, comic book painter, book binding designer.
Qin Long, born in 1939 in Chengdu, Sichuan, was born in Cheng'an, Hebei Province. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he moved to Shanghai with his parents. His father was Qin Wei, an artist at the film studio, and his mother was actor Ouyang Hongying. At that time, he often played on the set with his parents.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the famous directors Cai Chusheng and Zheng Junli actively filmed many films reflecting the Japanese invasion of China. When filming the next episode of the movie "A River of Spring Water Flowing Eastward" about the story of a family that occurred during the great changes in the War of Resistance Against Japan, "Around Dawn", because the little boy in the original play has grown up and is no longer suitable for the role of seven or eight years old, a boy is needed to replace him.
When he was in a hurry, director Zheng Junli remembered Qin Long, who often came to play on the set, and his age and intelligence were consistent with the "anti-life" in the film, so he asked his parents to audition after obtaining his parents' consent.
In this way, 7-year-old Qin Long played the son of Su Fen (Bai Yang), a female worker in a shanghai spinning factory in the movie, and Zhang Zhongliang (Tao Jin), a night school teacher.
The clever Qin Long won the affirmation of the director and the audience, and after that, he successively participated in a number of movies, starring in the little boys, such as Lu Xiaolong in "Riding the Dragon", Dabao in "Ten Thousand Family Lights", Youlai in "Road Hero", and "Remembering Jiangnan", "New Grudge", "Spring City Flowers" and other movies.
In 1953, after the founding of New China, Qin Long starred in the movie "Life and Death" directed by Zhu Shilin and starring Wang Xichun, Xu Li, Chen Qi and Cen Fan.
The actor who has cooperated with Qin Long the most is Bai Yang, and the films he has cooperated with are "A River of Spring Water Flows East", "Riding the Dragon Fast Son-in-law", "New Grudge", etc., and other filmmakers who have cooperated more than 2 times include Zhou Feng, Shi Dongshan, Mo Shuo, Fu Botang, Wu Yin, Wen Yan, Wang Jing'an, Li Huanqing, etc.
In addition, Qin Long has cooperated with big stars such as Bai Yang, Zhou Xuan, Jin Yan, Tao Jin, Shangguan Yunzhu, Wu Yin, Shu Xiuwen, etc., especially with Zhou Xuan in "Remembering Jiangnan" and "Riding the Dragon Fast Son-in-Law".
But even so, Qin Long still lacks interest in acting, and what he likes is stills from movies.
In 1956, Qin Long, who liked fine arts, was admitted to the Attached Middle School of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. After graduating from the attached middle school, he did not apply for the Central Academy of Fine Arts like most of his classmates, but was admitted to the mural major of the Decoration Department of the Central Academy of Arts and Crafts.
In 1976, Qin Long was transferred to the People's Literature Publishing House, engaged in art editing, and later became a famous Chinese painter, comic strip artist, book binding designer, long engaged in book binding and literary illustration, comic strips, posters, oil paintings, Chinese painting creation, many times held at home and abroad personal exhibitions.
