On September 26, according to Taiwan media reports, Taiwanese veteran director Zhang Pengyi died of a failed fight against cancer at the age of 80.
According to friends, Zhang Pengyi found out that he had stomach cancer in May this year, when he was still preparing for a new play, and he rushed back to treatment after receiving this bad news, but he only lasted 4 months before he died.
Netizens have commented, "It is really heart-wrenching to lose such a big director in the film circle, like his style, and hope that he will go all the way." "I found that in the past two years, more and more familiar characters have left us, and my generation should be self-reliant, and the directors must inherit the advantages of Zhang Pengyi and make more good movies." "Dad is a loyal fan of Teacher Zhang, and he cried when he heard the news!"
Zhang Pengyi has been in the industry for many years, as early as the 1970s and 1980s, he has directed many classic films, such as "Sword Qi Xiao Xiao Peacock Plume", "Dharma Tantric Blood Drifting", "Zhi Yong Monk", etc. He is especially good at action martial arts films, and has been known as the father of martial arts films.
Zhang Pengyi has a good reputation in the circle, and many actors who have participated in the films he directed have become his friends, such as Lin Qingxia. The two once collaborated on the movie "Midnight Orchid of Chu Liuxiang's New Legend", and through repeated run-ins, not only Lin Qingxia gradually entered a better state, But Zhang Pengyi also benefited a lot.
Director Zhu Yanping and Zhang Pengyi's fate is also very deep, he was very surprised and sad after learning the news of Zhang Pengyi's death, for the loss of such a partner who is also a teacher and friend, he sighed from the bottom of his heart: "All the way!"
Although Zhang Pengyi has left us, whenever people revisit his movies, they always think of such a kind old man, which is the meaning of life, and I hope that he will go all the way.
