When it comes to the actor who plays the best mother on the screen, different audiences may say different names. For example, Qu Yun, who starred in "Bitter Cauliflower", such as Zhang Ruifang, who starred in "Mother's", such as Song Chunli, who starred in "Nine Fragrances", etc.
But for me, I have always felt that the best actor to create a mother image on the screen is Wang Yumei.
Among them, there are mainly two reasons. One is the shape of Wang Yumei, which is very intimate. I even thought that the image of a loving mother should be like this. The other is Wang Yumei's performance, implicit, stoic, introverted, seemingly plain, but in fact has a huge force, can hit the weakest part of people's hearts in an instant.
Whether it is Ren Wenma in "Xiyingmen", or Li Qiulan in "Inner Dangjia", or Liang Daniang in "Wreath Under the Mountain", or Fang Xiuyun in the TV series "Children's Love", almost all of them are like this. Sometimes she appears in the movie screen, still, without lines, but the audience can also feel the deep heart of the character from her expression.
Many viewers thought that Wang Yumei had played the image of the old man and mother since she appeared on the screen, but in fact, it was not. The first time she made a movie, she played a very beautiful young girl.
In 1934, Wang Yumei was born in Jinan, Shandong. She attended Yuying Middle School, the best school in Jinan. In 1949, at the age of 15, she joined the army and became a cultural officer at the Jinan Staff School of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Later, he entered the military literary troupe as an actor. In 1955, he entered the Shandong Provincial Repertory Theatre. Because she was talented and hardworking, she quickly achieved great results in art.
In 1959, Wang Yumei's Shandong Repertory Theatre assisted the newly established Shandong Film Studio in filming the film "The Man Who Dares to Think and Dare to Do", in which Wang Yumei played a role. This is the first character she has created on the screen, but not an old lady, but a slender, bookish young girl.

From her stills in this movie, it can be seen that Wang Yumei when she was young is really a big beauty, not only beautiful, but also in good shape, which is unforgettable.
So, when did Wang Yumei start playing the old man?
In 1964, the Shandong Repertory Theatre rehearsed a drama "After the Harvest", in which Wang Yumei played the heroine Zhao Wu aunt of the village party secretary. With her calm and atmospheric performance and skillful skills, she successfully created a good branch secretary image of distinguishing between right and wrong, adhering to principles, and caring about the collective and members.
After the performance of this play, it was well received, so the film studio put it on the screen, and Wang Yumei played Zhao Wu aunt again, and her "like a fish in the water" performance immediately caused a sensation.
What the audience did not expect was that Wang Yumei was only 30 years old at this time.
This was Wang Yumei's first attempt to play the image of an old man, and he was very successful, so he became popular. In my memory, at the beginning of the film, Zhao Wu aunt returned from the county, passed through the wheat field, watched the harvest of crops, and was happy with the heart field, and the smile on her face was more beautiful than that of mai Lang. This shot left an unforgettable impression on me. Around that time, Wang Yumei has become one of the best actresses in my heart to play the image of the old man.
In the late 1970s, Wang Yumei also participated in a movie called "Pingying Tomb", do you remember it?
But I think most of the audience knows and loves her, after watching a series of excellent movies starring her in the 80s, right?
Especially after the release of the movie "Xiyingmen", the Renwen mother she played almost became the spokesperson of "good mother on the screen". This character looks weak and introverted, and does not speak much, but he is extremely kind at heart and is good to everyone. And this is simply a copy of the "mother-in-law" around us.
Therefore, as soon as many viewers see Wang Yumei, they will immediately think of their mother.
I think, probably because of this, in 1984 and 1985, a novel called "Garland Under the Mountain" was adapted into a TV series and a movie, respectively, in which the role of Liang Daniang fell to Wang Yumei. An actor who plays the same role in different versions of a film and television drama is a very rare situation in the film and television industry.
But in fact, the choice of directors of the two versions is very accurate. Whether it is a drama version or a film version, Wang Yumei's performance has reached the peak of perfection. The image of Liang Da Niang, a simple, generous and tenacious heroic mother, is portrayed in three points. As a result, she won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the 2nd TV Golden Eagle Awards in 1984, the Best Supporting Actress Award at the 4th TV Drama Feitian Awards, the Best Supporting Actress Award at the 1985 Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards, and the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress in the same year for her role as Cixi in the film "Tan Si Tong".
"Children's Love" is a TV series I don't think everyone will forget, right? In the process of chasing this drama, too many of us were moved by Wang Yumei's performance, and more than once we cried, right?
Somehow, every time we see Teacher Wang's frivolous performance style, and every time we hear her soft words and lines, our hearts will always be touched. Later, I also thought about this question very seriously, Wang Yumei's performance seems to be not at all forceful, as if there is no "performance trace" at all, but why is it still so moving? The conclusion I have come to is actually one word, and that is "true."
The true feelings and sincerity she showed were all from the heart.
And only the "real" things can most impress people.
Over the years, Wang Yumei has never stopped performing. Later, we saw her wonderful interpretation in film and television dramas such as "Golden Wedding", "Blue Sky Holding Up Life", "Late Marriage", "Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness of the New Pack qingtian".
Nowadays, although Teacher Wang does not often appear on the screen, the audience has never forgotten her and has always cared about her. There are constantly netizens in the background, asking me about the relevant situation of Teacher Wang Yumei.
After Wang Yumei entered the Shandong Provincial Repertory Theatre, she held a wedding with Zhai Jianping.
Many friends may ask, who is Zhai Jianping?
He is also an old artist, who has worked as an actor, later become a famous screenwriter, served as the head of the Shandong Provincial Repertory Theatre (later became the honorary director of the Shandong Provincial Drama Theatre), and has discovered and cultivated many stars familiar to the audience, such as Ni Ping, who was once the "first sister of CCTV variety shows", such as Hua Dan Zhao Na, who was once the head of the Bayi Factory, and Xu Shaohua, who played the Tang monk in the 86 version of "Journey to the West".
After the two got married, they have always been very affectionate, flying together in their careers and relying on each other in life. Their son Zhai Xiaofei is also very good, originally a first-class choreographer of the drama theater, and later transferred to any level of choreographer in Bayi Factory.
In 2005, Zhai Jianping died of a myocardial infarction. This was a very big blow to Wang Yumei, and her body was also greatly affected. Fortunately, he has the careful care of his son and enjoys his old age in peace.
Now Teacher Wang Yumei is 85 years old. As viewers who love her, our greatest wish is to wish her good health and, if possible, to return to the silver screen and create a new character image for us.
