Today (December 18, 2019) is Sun Daolin's birthday. If he were still alive, he would be 98 years old this year. But he died on December 28, 2007, and it's been 12 years since then. However, there are still many fans who can hardly forget him, especially every year on his birthday, they miss him more deeply.
Today, let us pin our thoughts on old photos, let us relive his artistic path through his old images, and witness his marriage.
Speaking of which, Sun Daolin's life path of this romantic male god is really very bumpy.
98 years ago, on December 18, 1921, Sun Daolin was born in Xi'an Gate, Beijing. On the door of the mansion, there was such a couplet: loyal to the family for a long time, poetry books for generations to come.
Sun Daolin's father, named Sun Wenyao, whose ancestral home is Jiashan, Zhejiang, was admitted to Xiucai at the age of 13, and then studied at the official fee and went to Belgium to study civil engineering. After returning to China, he served as the chief engineer and chief of the examination engineering section in the Ministry of Communications of the Beijing Government. His mother, named Fan Nianhua, also came from a prominent family in Jiashan. Sun Daolin's parents, one taught him a rigorous and self-disciplined attitude towards life, and the other made him understand love and kindness. The picture above is Sun Daolin in his childhood, and he has been a very quiet "young master of the Sun family" since he was a child.
When Sun Daolin was 16 years old, he already had his own faith and never changed his faith in himself. He joined the Communist Party of China at Chongde Middle School that year and was imprisoned several times for participating in the student anti-Japanese movement.
In 1938, Sun Daolin entered Yenching University. Here he met a classmate named Huang Zongjiang. The picture above shows Sun Daolin as a teenager.
Speaking of Huang Zongjiang and Sun Daolin, the two people are really quite lucky. The two were the same age, their father was an engineer who had stayed in the West, and later the two were alumni of ChongdeOk High School, and then entered Yenching University in the same year. After Huang Zongjiang entered Yenching University, he organized the Yanjing Opera Club with his classmates, and Huang Zongjiang warmly invited Sun Daolin to join. In 1939, the drama company was preparing to rehearse "Thunderstorm", and wanted Sun Daolin to play Zhou Chong in it, but gave up because Sun Daolin had never acted. Later, Huang Zongjiang himself translated a drama called "Outside the Window", invited Sun Daolin to participate in the performance, and since then opened the road of Sun Daolin's actor. The picture above is Sun Daolin in his youth.
In June 1942, Yenching University was forced to close after the pearl harbor attack, and Sun Daolin, who was arrested and imprisoned again, faced unemployment as soon as he was released from prison. At this time, his father told him that no matter what the situation, people must ensure self-sufficiency. So he did something that was very different from his personality and experience — he became a sheep, herding sheep and giving goat milk at the same time. But in that war-torn era, even if it was a sheeps, it was not a good way out. In the end, he returned to the stage and worked as an actor in the China Traveling Theater Company and the Shanghai Guohua Opera Company.
In the summer of 1946, Sun Daolin returned to Yenching University to study. After graduation, he entered the Shanghai Tsinghua Film Company organized by Kingsoft as an actor. The first film he participated in was "The Reunion", which brought together Wei Wei, Wei Yuping, Wu Yin, Lan Ma and other stars, in which he played a melancholy and romantic 17-year-old teenager, and portrayed it vividly. The picture above is a still of him in "Reunion".
The second film in which Sun Daolin participated, everyone is more familiar, that is, "The Crow and the Sparrow" starring with Zhao Dan, Wu Yin, Shangguan Yunzhu, Huang Zongying, Wei Heling and so on. He played Mr. Hua Jiezhi, a teacher. Although he does not have much experience in screen acting, his performance is simple and natural, and he has a strong sense of proportion, which makes a very impressive impression. The name Sun Daolin also began to penetrate the hearts of the audience. Above is his appearance in The Crow and the Sparrow.
Sun Daolin does not consider himself a natural actor and star. Although he has grown up with a clear eyebrow since he was a child. His original ideal was to be a philosopher, but under the influence of Huang Zongjiang, he became an actor. He feels that his artistic achievements are all the result of continuous exploration in practice. Above are stills from his 1950 film March for Democratic Youth.
After the founding of new China, Sun Daolin became an actor at the Shanghai Film Studio. I think his successful transformation was in 1954. This year, he successfully portrayed the role of Li Lianchang in the war film "Reconnaissance of Crossing the River", which completely changed the audience's inherent impression that he could only play the rich young master. The picture above is his appearance in "Reconnaissance of Crossing the River".
In 1955, Sun Daolin played the role of Han Chengguang in "South Island Storm".
In 1956, Sun Daolin's role in the movie "Home" was another classic image he created on the screen.
Sun Daolin's screen image is clean and elegant, polite and polite, and is quite popular with the audience. The picture above shows him in 1957, playing the role of Zhang Bohan, the owner of a textile factory, in the movie "The City That Never Sleeps".
In 1958, Sun Daolin starred in two important films, one was "Red Seeds" co-starring with Qin Yi, in which the two played husband and wife. The other is "The Eternal Wave", in which he plays the martyr Li Xia.
The picture above is a still of Sun Daolin in "The Eternal Wave".
In 1961, Sun Daolin starred with Yu Lan in the movie "Revolutionary Family", playing the male protagonist Jiang Haiqing. Above are stills of him in Revolutionary Family.
Sun Daolin has played lovers and couples with many famous actors on the stage and screen, and because he is too involved in emotional dramas, he has won the reputation of "Sun Dayu". But in real life, he has not been married for a long time. It was not until July 2, 1962, that he, with the help of his good friend Huang Zongjiang, married Wang Wenjuan, a Yue opera celebrity who played Lin Daiyu in the Yue opera movie Dream of the Red Chamber. This year, he was 41 years old.
In 1963, Sun Daolin starred in the movie "Early Spring and February" together with Xie Fang, Shangguan Yunzhu and other stars, and he vividly interpreted the depressed wandering of the male protagonist Xiao Jianqiu. But unfortunately, "Early Spring february" was just released and was beaten into a "big poisonous weed", and Sun Daolin also became the object of criticism. Above are stills from him in Early Spring and February.
In 1964, Sun Daolin and Wang Wenjuan's only daughter was born and named Sun Qingyuan. The picture above shows a family portrait of a family of three.
In 1966, Sun Daolin was beaten into a "cowshed" while his mother was seriously ill. While his mother was dying, he was not given permission to visit home. When he finally arrived home, his mother had long since passed away. He was heartbroken. It was probably the coldest and darkest day of his life.
In 1979, after 16 years off the screen, Sun Daolin finally appeared in the movie again, playing Li Siguang in "Li Siguang". When fans who loved him learned the news, they all rushed to tell him. It's just that it's hard for everyone to accept that the handsome little student of the past can only play the old student on the screen now. Above is the cover of the 8th issue of Popular Film magazine in 1979.
In 1982, Sun Daolin starred in the movie "An Unfinished Chess Game" with The Three Kingdoms Rintaro and others, in which he played the role of "Jiangnan Chess King" Guan Yishan. The picture above shows him taking a group photo with young actors Shen Guanchu and Liu Xin.
In 1984, Sun Daolin wrote and directed the film "Thunderstorm" and successfully portrayed the hypocritical and domineering role of Zhou Puyuan.
In 1988, together with Jiang Kun, Hou Yaowen and Wang Gang, he co-hosted the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
In 1995, Sun Daolin won the Special Honor Award of the 5th China Academy of Film Performing Arts.
In 2000, at the age of 80, Sun Daolin co-directed the biographical film "Zhan Tianyou" with Yao Shoukang, which won the Best Feature Film Award at the 7th China Film Huabiao Awards and the "Five One Project Award" of the Central Propaganda Department.
In 2005, Sun Daolin won the 100 Outstanding Actor Awards of Chinese Film in the 100 Years.
In the spring of 2007, Sun Daolin Film Art Museum was inaugurated in Jiashan, Zhejiang. This is the first film art museum in New China to be named after an individual. On the day of completion, Sun Daolin was invited to return to his hometown, which was the last time he returned to his hometown. The picture above shows Sun Daolin and Wang Wenjuan taking a group photo with their daughter, son-in-law, grandson and granddaughter in front of the Sun Daolin Film Art Museum.
On December 28, 2007, the famous film performance artist died of a heart attack at the age of 86 in Huadong Hospital in Shanghai.
Some people say that in Sun Daolin's body, he gathers the morality, cultivation, enthusiasm and talent of an era.
I remember that when filming "A Game of Chess That Has Not Been Played", Sun Daolin wrote a small poem to the director Mr. Junya Sato, but if we change the word "Sato" in the poem to "Daolin", it can basically be regarded as a portrayal of Mr. Sun Daolin's life: never a boy with blood, singing unevenly throughout the thorn bushes, it is the road that turns back to the peak, and the green mountain looks at the Road Lin.
