You Benchang was said by many netizens that a role has eaten a lifetime, in fact, You Benchang is very much like another Wang Baoqiang, he starred in 79 dragon sets before Jigong, many of which are a few lines, You Benchang waited for the role of Jigong at the age of 52, which is also his first male protagonist, with decades of acting skills accumulated, only to present a vivid old naughty boy to the audience, this role is difficult to play, not only need a large number of limbs and expressions, but also let the audience accept this kind of hip-hop performance, It can be said that it is more advanced.
From childhood, You Benchang liked to follow his parents to listen to the play, from elementary school to play alone in the teahouse, but also learned to play on the stage, as a hobby, You Benchang was later admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy, after graduation into the experimental drama troupe to work, it is considered to have an iron rice bowl, but when he just wanted to show his fists, because of historical reasons, he was sent to the countryside to work, You Benchang's optimism gave him great help, after the farmers were busy, they performed to the villagers, which made everyone applaud.
Later he returned to the drama troupe, at that time the work was assigned to the actor by the superior, not the director or producer, You Benchang was not good at communicating and engaging in relations, and would not cater to it at all, as a result, the role he was assigned to was always a small supporting role of a few words, his classmates and colleagues gradually became famous, only he was in place, You Benchang was not discouraged, just silently played the assigned role.
Of course, because his performance for many years is very good, he also has a reputation in the audience, but You Benchang is still a dragon set when he is forty or fifty years old, he still lacks good opportunities, You Benchang fell in love with pantomime in his fifties, began to read books and teach himself, because he was too cold to go on stage, so he went to charity performances after work, and was accidentally photographed by the director of the Spring Festival Gala, and he staged the pantomime "Shower" at the Spring Festival Gala in 1984 and became famous.

When "Jigong" appeared in the crowded alley, You Benchang retired for more than twenty years after the explosion of popularity, countless scripts came after the original fame, but You Benchang thought that he must carefully choose the drama, in 1991, the troupe in order to achieve economic benefits, required the actor to set the indicator, how much money must be made in a year to take the play, You Benchang was unwilling to do this, although it was already red at the time, it was easy to take the play, but he thought it was not right, he applied for retirement and went to the sea by himself, set up a film and television company to start filming.
The company has two works "Mr. You's Dumb Smile" and "Wanfan", the two plays are very good artistically, and the three views are very positive, but there is no commercial value in the market, as a result, the 73-year-old You Benchang went bankrupt, lost all the family property, and at the age of 80, You Benchang sold his house and used the money to rehearse the drama "Hongyi Master". He just wants to bring positive works to the audience, even if he has paid a lifetime of savings.
