When I recall more than 20 years ago, there were a group of child stars who became popular by relying on action movies and cute looks, and the first thing that came to mind was definitely Shi Xiaolong.
But there is a child star, who was even more popular than Shi Xiaolong, and he is the protagonist we want to talk about today, "Yan Zhengguo".
The name Yan Zhengguo may not be very familiar to many people now, but for the post-70s and post-80s, it is a household name.
Yan Zhengguo learned martial arts since childhood, and became famous in 1986 for starring in the film "The Little Dragon of the Good Boy Out of the Mountain" directed by Zhu Yanping.
Because of the witty and vivid martial arts plot and sophisticated production in the play, it set off a kung fu frenzy in Taiwan, Japan and other regions and successfully became popular with the 10-year-old kung fu child star "Yan Zhengguo".
After that, Yan Zhengguo's films such as "Just Slippery Her" and "Winter Holiday" were well received, and Yan Zhengguo was even called a "genius child star".
In 1974, Yan Zhengguo won the Best Child Star Award at the Golden Horse Awards of the Second Division's Sister Taiwan Film through his wonderful interpretation in the film "Son's Big Doll".
Yan Zhengguo became a household name at a young age, and everyone in the school knew everyone, so there were many people who came to provoke trouble.
In order to save himself, Yan Zhengguo had to fight with the provocateurs, and his temperament became more obedient, and even loudly insulted Hou Xiaoxian, the director of the "Good Boy" series.
However, just when everyone thought that this genius kung fu child star would always be so good, his behavior deviated, and in the next two years, he mistakenly made friends and ganged up to embark on the criminal path of theft and drug-related crimes.
In junior high school, Yan Zhengguo, who was in the rebellious age group, failed to control himself, he mistakenly made friends, and ganged up to embark on the criminal road of theft and drug-related, and finally at the age of 17. Sentenced to 5 years in prison.
Just when the audience thought that he had encountered "setbacks in life", he could learn his lesson and start all over again after 5 years in prison.
But no one expected Yan Zhengguo after his release from prison to give fans a "loud slap" with "practical actions".
Yan Zhengguo, who was struggling with his livelihood, not only did not think about repenting after he was released from prison, but instead intensified.
In 2001, Yan Zhengguo also fell ill with drug addiction, and he and his accomplices kidnapped a man, extorted money, and were eventually arrested by the police for a total of 13 illegal convictions, and sentenced to another 15 years in prison.
Serving 20 years in prison for two consecutive times has discredited Yan Zhengguo, who originally hoped to become a "star of tomorrow", and the days of suffering have made him live like a year, unable to face himself, let alone face his family.
When he was serving a 3-year sentence, his father died, and the prison guards sent him home in handcuffs and shackles to "run to the funeral".
This time, he "thought bitterly", suddenly woke up, actively reformed in prison, and finally "parole" 4 years in advance after serving "11 years" in prison.
Several times in prison in addition to the death of his father Yan Zhengguo painfully, this time let Yan Zhengguo decisively and completely change himself, after his release from prison, Yan Zhengguo not only taught calligraphy in the juvenile guanhu but also enthusiastic about public welfare undertakings, he also became a director.
The 2018 film "Horn head 2: The King's Resurgence" is a crime action film directed by Yan Zhengguo, starring Zou Zhaolong, Wang Zhixian and Zheng Renshuo, and the fierce plot in the film is the first half of Yan Zhengguo's life.
Yan Zhengguo, 10 years old called a superstar, red all over the sky, two times in prison, after the release of 44 years old, did not give up on himself, but cheered up, everything from a new start.
Now he is not only passionate about public welfare, but also a director himself, making his own experience into a movie, in his words: as a professional actor, I should challenge various roles, and most importantly, contribute to society.
Start again, set sail for the second time, fall down and get up again, life is not satisfactory, everyone is wrong, and now take a step from the beginning, today's Yan Zhengguo does the right thing, speaks the right words, and becomes a person who contributes positive energy to society.
Now 45-year-old Yan Zhengguo with his own film "Horns 2 Kings Rise" has also successfully won more than 100 million box office, which may be the real "prodigal son back to gold".
