【Wen 丨 A fear】
I haven't been a big brother for many years, I don't love the cold edge of the bed, don't force me to miss, don't force me to cry, I will turn my face.
- "Big Brother" Ke Shouliang
On June 1, 1997, More than 100,000 people gathered at Hukou Waterfall, and the places where people could stand on the mountain beams and slopes were all surrounded by water, and everyone was excited and nervous, just to watch - "Big Brother" Ke Shouliang flew over the Yellow River.
The Yellow River Hukou Waterfall is 50 meters wide, and before the official leap, Ke Shouliang had already flown three times, and the best result was a leap of 43 meters. Knowing that this is an impossible challenge, why didn't he give up?
Ke Shouliang made this "death" move because there was a foreigner who said that he would be the first person to cross the Yellow River, and he believed that the Yellow River, as our mother river, must not be conquered by a foreigner...
In the end, Ke Shouliang scattered his family wealth to win glory for the country and became the "first person to fly over the Yellow River", and Ke Shouliang's name was also recorded in history.
Unfortunately, the hero has never lived long, and on December 9, 2003, Ke Shouliang died of asthma.
Who would have thought that at this time, Ke Shouliang's wife did not even have the money to give her husband a funeral, and in the end, Zeng Zhiwei, Andy Lau and other friends paid for a grand funeral for the eldest brother.
Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung and others promised to take care of his wife for him and raise a pair of children to grow up.
Now, 18 years later, how are his wife and children doing?
01
Ke Shouliang's life was destined to be extraordinary.
In 1953, Ke Shouliang was born in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, because the family conditions were too poor, helpless, when Ke Shouliang was two years old, his parents could only take him to Taitung, Taiwan to live. After arriving here, Ke Shouliang's parents could only live by fishing because of their low level of education, and the family lived at sea.
In 1966, Ke Shouliang secretly dropped out of school due to financial problems and began to fish with his father to subsidize the family.
The days at sea are actually very boring, and the endless sea makes Ke Shouliang feel so small. The intense ultraviolet rays at sea also tanned his skin, and the nickname "little black" also came from this.
When Ke Shouliang was 16 years old, he couldn't stand the boring life at sea, and he wanted to go to the world on the shore to see it.
In 1969, Ke Shouliang took 500 yuan of savings to Taipei alone to break through the world. At the moment of leaving home, Ke Shouliang secretly vowed that he must get ahead and give his family a better life.
But no one would have thought that Ke Shouliang's wish to make his family's life better was not realized until his death, and even because of him, the family lived even worse.
Taipei, a hundred kilometers away, is a completely unfamiliar city for Ke Shouliang, and there is not a single friend who has been involved with his family.
Fortunately, Ke Shouliang has an inexhaustible strength, he started from the coolies a little bit, and gradually gained a foothold in Taipei.
02
At that time, the Hong Kong entertainment industry entered its heyday, and the influence of the Hong Kong circle once expanded to Taiwan Province, and countless young people were deeply attracted by the various stories in the film, and Ke Shouliang was no exception.
Movies are the only pastime of the young Ke Shouliang, who looks at the men and women on the screen and has the idea of becoming an actor himself.
Soon Ke Shouliang ushered in an opportunity.
Once, Ke Shouliang was wandering the streets on a motorcycle, and he accidentally saw the admissions advertisement of the Star Performance Academy, and immediately decided to apply for the exam.
But after entering the acting academy, Ke Shouliang was not very popular, because he looked "too dark" and the audience would not like such a male protagonist.
Forced to do so, the tall Ke Shouliang could only be recommended to become a dragon and tiger martial artist. Even if he has retreated to the second place, Ke Shouliang will still be excluded.
The reason is that Ke Shouliang is not from a professional martial arts class, and he can only be beaten in the play.
Despite this, Ke Shouliang did it for five years.
In these five years, Ke Shouliang has not left his motorcycle behind, and in his spare time, he will ride his motorcycle to the road for a ride.
Ke Shouliang, who became a dragon and tiger martial artist, was no longer satisfied with simple motorcycle driving, and he began to study some motorcycle stunts in order to seek excitement.
With his wonderful and exciting motorcycle stunts, he has recruited a large number of fans in the crew.
At that time, Ke Shouliang simply liked to play motorcycles, and did not think that one day he would change his fate by relying on it.
It all started with a game that year.
In 1975, Ke Shouliang's motorcycle skills were amazing, and under the recommendation of everyone, he participated in the local motorcycle race and came out on top in the competition.
At that time, there was a Hong Kong director at the scene of the competition who was shocked after seeing Ke Shouliang's performance, and as soon as the competition ended, the director invited Ke Shouliang to the crew as a martial arts instructor, and Ke Shouliang was ecstatic to accept the director's invitation, thus officially opening a legendary life.

Although Ke Shouliang, who has just entered the Hong Kong film industry, is only an action director, he also has the opportunity to appear in movies between the director's weight.
Although they are all small roles that are not well known, and there are some stand-ins for high-risk jobs, Ke Shouliang also has the opportunity to appear on the screen, and the work of action direction is five years.
The bold Ke Shouliang often fought for his friends and lost money, so that he did not have any savings in his hands for five years.
But it is precisely because of this good popularity that Ke Shouliang has the opportunity to make a splash.
In 1982, Zeng Zhiwei transformed into a director, he co-directed with Lin Lingdong and Liu Jialiang to shoot a "Best Partner", there is a scene in the film that makes the three people headache.
The camera asking the motorcycle to break through the glass from the second floor of the mall to the ground is a very thrilling stunt action, which is the finishing touch of the whole movie.
At that time, the security measures were not perfect, because this action was too dangerous, many stunt performers did not dare to pick up, and some actors directly called Zeng Zhiwei a "madman".
In desperation, friends around him recommended Ke Shouliang to Zeng Zhiwei, bluntly saying that Ke Shouliang must be competent for this job, and ke Shouliang, who was heavily righteous, took over this job despite the danger.
When filming this shot, the crew members all grabbed their hearts to the throat, and the slightest difference in Ke Shuliang may be killed here. In order to avoid such a tragedy, Zeng Zhiwei deliberately arranged two ambulances at the scene.
But what happened next was something that no one expected.
Ke Shouliang completed this incredibly dangerous shot in only one time!
Ke Shouliang became famous in the first battle, and was nicknamed "Ke Bold". It is also because of this stunt performance that Ke Shouliang's acting career is finally on the right track.
In 1984, when Jackie Chan filmed "Fast Food Truck", he found Ke Shouliang as an action director, and most of Jackie Chan's stunt actions in the film were completed under the guidance of Ke Shouliang.
And Ke Shouliang also personally starred in the film's most dangerous leap over the highway.
After "Fast Food Truck", Ke Shouliang became Jackie Chan's royal stunt guide, and the relationship with Jackie Chan was extraordinary.
After this, Ke Shouliang has successively cooperated with Andy Lau, Stephen Chow and other Hong Kong celebrities, although he does not have many lines in the movie, but the image is very recognizable, this dark big brother, in everyone's mind left a deep impression.
Ke Shouliang is not only an actor, he is also a singer.
At that time, with a "big brother" that became popular all over the country, he also created "Stupid Child" with Andy Lau and Wu Zongxian, which is still a classic song.
The reason why "Stupid Child" can become one of Ke Shouliang's masterpieces is not only because of its popularity, but more importantly, because of the story behind this song.
In fact, As the four heavenly kings, Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung were not less cared for by Ke Shouliang in that year.
At that time, Ke Shouliang was already the "big brother" in the Hong Kong showbiz circle, and Andy Lau was just a fledgling young man.
Ke Shouliang admired Andy Lau very much at that time, and often introduced Andy Lau to the director, script, and even gave up his role.
Later, in 1998, Andy Lau planned to write a song about his more than 20 years of experience, and In order to thank Ke Shouliang for his promotion that year, Andy Lau specially invited him to participate in the creation of the song, and finally the song "Stupid Child" came into being.
This song also won the Outstanding Chinese Song Award at the award ceremony of the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody, and later became one of Ke Shouliang's representative works, and also the witness of The friendship between Andy Lau and Ke Shouliang.
Ke Shouliang's achievements in the show business circle are brilliant, but compared with his speeding achievements, the singing field and the acting field are eclipsed.

In 1992, he drove a motorcycle and successfully flew over the 30-meter-wide Great Wall Beacon, from which Ke Shouliang also opened his flying car "Road to The Gods".
In 1997, in order to commemorate the return of Hong Kong, Ke Shouliang decided to present a gift to the motherland by "flying over the Yellow River Hukou Waterfall".
The Yellow River Hukou Waterfall is more than 30 meters wide and more than 50 meters high, which is a very dangerous challenge, but Ke Shouliang has great confidence in himself.
In order to fulfill his dream, Ke Shuliang persuaded his wife to make way for herself.
Ke Shuliang sold his house in Singapore, and his father also donated 300,000 yuan to support his son.
At that time, this incident was very moving, and even CCTV and Phoenix Satellite TV participated in this activity.
On June 1, 60,000 tickets were swept away, more than 100,000 people gathered on both sides of the Yellow River, Andy Lau was also at the scene, on the hillside, on the ridge, on both sides of the Yellow River crowded, the challenge site around the water leak.
Whether they came to see the bustle or cheer for Ke Shouliang, when everyone saw the yellow river water roaring under their feet, they still couldn't help but pinch a handful of sweat for Ke Shouliang.
The rushing river and the crowd of onlookers all became the pressure of Ke Shuliang at this time.
The roof leaked during the overnight rain, when the weather along the Yellow River suddenly changed dramatically, and the sudden wind added another layer of difficulty to Ke Shouliang's leap challenge.
At 12:58, Ke Shouliang skillfully drove the car, clutching the steering wheel with his hands and staring at the opposite side of the Yellow River like a torch.
He understood that the challenge was only once, and if he succeeded, he was the big brother, and if he did not succeed, he was Ke Someone.
At 12:59, Ke Shouliang frantically stepped on the accelerator and drove the car to the slope.
A minute later, he appeared on the opposite side of the Yellow River!
The crowd of onlookers on both sides of the strait boiled up like a frying pan in an instant, and they chanted Ke Shouliang's name. Since then, Ke Shouliang has also become "Asia's first flying man"!
With the title of "Asia's First Flying Man", Ke Shouliang could not stop taking risks.
In 2002, he went to the Potala Palace Square.
This time, however, he tasted defeat and suffered a very severe blow to his neck. But injuries and failures didn't stop him!
In the ensuing relay race from Tibet to Nepal, Ke Yuliang was injured, during which time Ke Shouliang almost lost his life due to an infusion error.
However, no one expected that Ke Shouliang, a high-risk professional worker who deals with the god of death every day, would eventually die suddenly in such a way.
In 2003, Ke Shouliang was asthmatic due to excessive drinking in Shanghai, and when it was too late to be sent to the hospital, Ke Shouliang died at the age of 50.
The sudden bad news brought a huge blow to the family, making the already poor family even worse.
Because of the good deeds and righteous neglect of wealth in normal times, even the money for the funeral was not saved in the end.
In the end, with the help of more than 200 friends in the circle, the funeral was successfully held, and it also lived up to Ke Shouliang's usual righteousness and lack of wealth.
Now that Ke Shouliang has been gone for 18 years, how is the family who could not even pay the funeral expenses now?
Friends who once paid for Ke Shouliang's funeral did not forget to take care of the family of "Big Brother". Andy Lau and Zeng Zhiwei often send money to Ke Shouliang's wives and children, and most importantly, they love Ke Shouliang's children like fathers.
When Ke Shouliang's daughter got married, his father Ke Shouliang was absent, and Jacky Cheung and Andy Lau replaced him and sent their daughter to marry as "father".
Ke Shouliang's eldest son, Ke Youlun, intended to be a singer, and Jacky Cheung praised him, personally completed his first album with him, and supported him at the press conference.
Ke Youlun did not disappoint his father and "dry dad" Jacky Cheung, who won numerous awards with his high-quality musical talent.
The second son, Ke Youqian, inherited his father's acting talent, he studied directing at a prestigious school in the United States, and Ke Youlun's "Tired feeling and not loving" MV is Ke Youqian's directed work.
Although Ke Shouliang unfortunately died early, seeing the current situation of his descendants, he must be able to rest in peace.
In the complex entertainment industry, Ke Shouliang can have such good brothers as Andy Lau, Zeng Zhiwei, and Jacky Cheung, which shows that he is also a person with a temperament, not pretentious, and sincerely treats others.
For Ke Shouliang, his life is thrilling and exciting, and he has pursued adventure all his life. In the past 50 years of life, he has experienced glory and completed his dreams, which can be regarded as living up to this life.
