Following the death of Uncle Da, on March 28, another gold medal veteran drama bone, Liao Qizhi, was also reported by Hong Kong media that he died of stomach cancer at the age of 66.
And just a week ago, he was still actively fighting cancer, which really made people feel that the accident will always come faster than tomorrow.
For the name Liao Qizhi, many people may feel unfamiliar.
However, the success of the gold medal supporting character is that you may not know his name, but you must be familiar with his face.
As a veteran of TVB, Liao Qizhi has witnessed the golden age and ebb and flow of hong Kong's film and television industry for decades.
Today, all that remains is nostalgia.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" >01, gold medal supporting cast electrocution screen</h1>
Liao Qizhi, who grew up in a low-class family in Hong Kong, because his relatives worked at the Dadong Telegraph Bureau, rubbed the convenience at a very young age, and installed "Li's Yingsheng" at a cheap price to contact the earliest television programs in Hong Kong.
In the 1980s, Run Run Shaw invested heavily in the television industry, promoted the successful listing of TVB, and built the Clear water bay TV City, and the shooting scale expanded rapidly.
It was 10 years of TVB's vigorous development, and there were frequent masterpieces, and the "Wireless Five Tigers" composed of Huang Rihua, Andy Lau, Liang Chaowei, Tang Zhenye and Miao Qiaowei were the products of this period.
And Liao Qizhi is a witness to their glory.
Because he was infected by child star Feng Baobao in his childhood, he also embarked on the road of art, starting in 1976, taking two wireless training classes before entering TVB.
He is not only a classmate of the same wireless training class as Tang Zhenye, but also has a close relationship with Andy Lau, and the two have cooperated many times in the future.
What is even more rare is that Zhou Runfa also promoted him.
In 1980, that is, just 2 years after entering the training class, Liao Qizhi, who had just debuted, cooperated with Zhou Runfa, Lu Liangwei and others in the classic TV series "Shanghai Beach", in which he played Ding Li's "horse boy" Chen Xianggui.
In real life, he and "Fa Ge" are friends for decades, and "Fa Ge" also calls him Big Brother.
After "Shanghai Beach", Liao Qizhi's play path slowly opened up and began to try a variety of different types of characters.
In the decades of serving TVB, Liao Qizhi has participated in more than 60 TV series, although most of them are supporting roles, but they are undoubtedly powerful actors, and many roles are memorable.
In "Yang Guifei", he is Gao Lishi standing next to Jiang Hua.
In "Bao Qingtian", he is Gongsun Ce, playing against Huang Rihua in the Wireless Five Tigers.
In "Criminal Investigation File III", he is Zhai Yongtian, a leper policeman, and his partner is the hottest stars at that time, such as Tao Dayu and Guo Keying.
By the 1990s, TVB's development had entered its heyday, and various dramas had blossomed.
Fashion dramas, costume dramas, martial arts dramas, professional dramas, criminal investigation dramas... There are classic masterpieces in various genres, and these dramas have also won a number of small flowers.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" >02, the declining Hong Kong television circle, the supporting film coffee Liao Qizhi</h1>
After the millennium, ATV gradually declined, TVB is a big one, in the absence of external viewing pressure in the environment, TVB internal high-level infighting, the quality of episodes is also declining, the production of classic dramas is also a handful.
During this period, Liao Qizhi, in addition to TV dramas, began to shine in the film industry, and he can be seen in many popular films.
Liao Qizhi has cooperated with Ren Dahua, Liu Qingyun, Zhen Zidan, Nicholas Tse, Zhang Jiahui and many other film emperors, which can be said to be the best partner of many film emperors.
In 2005, he co-starred in the kung fu film "Kill the Wolf" with Ren Dahua, Zhen Zidan, Hong Jinbao and Wu Jing, and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.
In 2008, he collaborated with Nicholas Tse and Zhang Jiahui in the action film "Witness", playing the role of Xinye.
After "Witness", in 2010, he collaborated again with Zhang Jiahui and Nicholas Tse to star in "Informant".
In 2012, in the action film "Disappearing Bullets" starring Nicholas Tse and Liu Qingyun, Liao Qizhi played Boss Ding.
Kung Fu pays off, and under the tempering of one series and one role after another, Liao Qizhi has also won many honors from his acting path.
In 1993, he won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 12th Hong Kong Film Awards for his role as an intellectually handicapped youth in the feature film Caged People starring Wong Ka-ju and Qiao Hong, the first acting award he had ever won since filming.
In this play, he partnered with Huang Jiaju and is Huang Jiaju's last posthumous work.
Since "Caged People", Liao Qizhi will be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor every once in a while.
The movie "Witness", released in 2008, not only made the lead actor Zhang Jiahui become a movie emperor, but also made Liao Qizhi win the Best Supporting Actor Award once again.
According to statistics, Liao Qizhi has been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor six times with "Infernal Affairs II", "Kill the Wolf", "Informant", "Disappearing Bullet", "Point Five Steps" and "Peerless".
Whether it is a decent or a villain, a good person or a bad person, he can accurately interpret the role in place, which can be called the "strongest supporting role".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" >03</h1>
In 2008, due to the rise of the mainland film and television market on the one hand, and due to the long-standing backlog of problems within TVB on the other hand, TVB began to decline.
Although the "Storm of Hearts" series, "The Gangster" and "Palace Heart Plan" launched later have recovered, they are already weak in staying power.
Excessive squeezing of employees' salaries and other reasons has led to the resignation of a number of well-known producers and screenwriters. After 2010, many of the leaders of Hua Dan and Xiaosheng turned to the mainland for development.
With the changes in the overall environment of the entire Hong Kong film and television industry, Liao Qizhi jumped to HKTV in 2012 and played the male number one for the first time in the TV series "Police Line".
In 2013, after HKTV failed to obtain a free TV license, Liao Qizhi returned to TVB and took over the filming of the unit drama "Icha Action 2014".
But he then left TVB again and returned to HKTV to shoot the TV series "Election Campaign".
In 2016, Liao Qizhi returned to TVB again and cooperated with Fang Zhongxin in the TV series "Legal strongman".
"Uncle Zhi" has repeatedly jumped ship, and it is not difficult to see that the Hong Kong film and television industry is "difficult to eat".
And in 2020, a photo of Liao Qizhi selling clothes on the street caused a heated discussion among netizens.
In the photo, "Uncle Zhi" has messy hair, emaciated body, and the clothes he wears are also very worn, so that netizens think that he is selling things at a stall, and laments that his life as an old drama bone in Hong Kong is actually so difficult, which is inevitable to make people sigh.
However, later the crew clarified that it was just a still of filming. But doesn't this confirm from the side what this golden supporting role looks like?
Since his career, Liao Qizhi has maintained a high prolific, 66-year-old is still working the set, in addition to his love for the acting career, perhaps he also has a certain relationship with the family of Uncle Zhi.
It is said that life is like a drama, but the life of "Uncle Zhi" is more dramatic than that played in the play.
Liao Qizhi's wife was Chen Min'er, a wireless student at the same time as him, and she was also the head of TVB at that time. When Liao Qizhi was still a nobody, Chen Min'er was already filming with popular young students such as Chow Yun Fat and Andy Lau.
But unexpectedly, when Liao Qizhi asked Chen Min'er if she would like to marry herself, the goddess actually nodded her head and agreed. The two did not marry immediately after they were together, and they fell in love for seven years before entering the palace of marriage.
Since their marriage for 34 years, the two have been in love as ever, and can be called a "model couple" in the entertainment industry.
Everything seems to be beautiful, but the plot of the story has reversed.
After marriage, Liao Qizhi and Chen Min'er gave birth to two sons, and in 2001, Chen Min'er gave birth to a third son, Liao Wennuo, who also suffered a blood collapse during childbirth.
After giving birth, Chen Min'er suffered from depression and recovered under the considerate care of her husband Liao Qizhi.
Nono, who was born in such a twist, seems destined to have an unusual life.
In July 2003, the family's nightmare began, and 3-year-old Nono fell ill with leukemia.
Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and various treatments have been implemented for nearly a year, and Nono has been tormented to the point of being miserable.
Such a small child, with a chest full of tubes, sometimes fever, sometimes vomiting, and gradually emaciated. And Liao Qizhi and Chen Min'er, as parents, can only watch...
Liao Qizhi almost threw away all his work and accompanied the three-year-old Nono to hospitalization and chemotherapy. Liao Qizhi, who has always been prolific, made only 8 TV series and 6 movies from 2003 to 2004. Later, only one job of hosting the show was left.
At that time, Liao Qizhi got up at six o'clock every morning to send his 2 eldest sons to school. Then rush to the hospital, help Nono massage the sore back and take a bath, accompany Nono, until the sun goes down before leaving. Then I went back to the TV station to force a smile, host the parent-child program, and come home late at night after work.
His wife, Chen Min'er, even had a relapse of depression because of family changes, and Liao Qizhi undoubtedly became the only patron in the family.
On April 5, 2006, the youngest son, Nono, finally left. But the bad stuff isn't over.
Because the focus of the couple's life has been on the sick little son, so they ignored the growth of the other two sons, the eldest son, who has always been well-behaved and sensible, actually publicly said on social media that he wanted to be a woman, and also posted many photos of heavy makeup and seductive actions.
This is undoubtedly another sunny thunderbolt for this family, and Chen Min'er is even more white-headed for a night.
But Liao Qizhi said in a later interview that he was "willing to accept the wishes of children and respect them no matter what." "It can be seen that he is a very tolerant father of his children.
Fortunately, the eldest son's so-called sexual orientation problem is not real, which makes the couple breathe a sigh of relief.
Later, it was Liao Qizhi himself who found out that he was ill.
Probably after the younger son's blood cancer, he has been quite optimistic, does not care much about work, puts his family first, encourages each other, and firmly believes that he can get through the difficulties.
What makes people sigh is that after all, they did not survive.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" > conclusion</h1>
The world is unpredictable, fate makes people, who can think that a person who has not smoked or drunk all his life will finally get stomach cancer.
After Uncle Zhi left, it was difficult for many Hong Kong circles to accept.
Fa Ge missed the bad news of his friend because he went to bed early, "Fa Ge has already slept, I don't wake him up, if he must not be able to sleep, I will tell him tomorrow morning." ”
Veteran artist Bao Qijing also cried silently, lamenting that the two had no chance to say goodbye, "It is really sad to know the news, I really miss the past, I hope to see each other again, I can run together, it turned out that there was no chance."
Du Qifeng, a director who has known Uncle Zhi for many years, also expressed disbelief at this sudden news: "It is very sad for such a good actor to leave us. Liao Qizhi is a very good actor, not only professional in filming, excellent in acting, but also thoughtful in life. He plays a good person and is a model for Hong Kong filmmakers. ”
Hong Kong director Li Lizhi, who has directed "The King of Comedy" and "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang", lamented after hearing the news that it was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and hoped that Uncle Zhi's family would mourn and change.
Zhen Zidan, who has cooperated with Uncle Zhi in "Kill the Wolf", expressed his reluctance in his heart with 4 words of "all the way good".
Chen Farong, who has cooperated with Liao Qizhi on "People on the Edge", posted a memorial post: "Uncle Zhi, go all the way to RIP. ”

Another Zhang Zhiyao, who cooperated with Uncle Zhi in "Kill the Wolf", posted , "Uncle Zhi, all the way." "It's hard to hide the sadness.

Jiang Meiyi regretted that she had not been able to cooperate with Uncle Zhi.
TVB artist Ma Junwei posted "Very reluctant and unwilling! ”
"Little Dragon Girl" Li Rongtong said that she has always admired Uncle Zhi and is a powerful acting school.
Liang Liang Yuan Yongyi also posted an article lamenting that Uncle Zhi is a good predecessor.
Weng Hongwen was deeply sorry, saying that "It wasn't long before Da Ge left so quickly and then to Uncle Zhi."
After so many memorials, the only thing that Sister Rice is glad is that Uncle Zhi and his wife Chen Min'er are both Catholics and believe that people will go to heaven after they die.
Then, according to what he thought, at this moment, he should have been reunited in heaven with his young son Nono's father and son, who died of blood cancer, and continued to be the emperor there.
Uncle Zhi, all the way.
