Li Yimin's ordinary Yang Kang: Subsequently, Li Yimin's version of Yang Kang entered the audience's field of vision. His facial features are ordinary and his temperament is mediocre, which is far from the noble temperament of Yang Kang in the original work, and he is nicknamed "Yang Kang next door" by the audience.
Miao Qiaowei's classic Yang Kang: However, in 1983, Miao Qiaowei's version of Yang Kang became a classic on the screen. He is handsome and chic, with superb acting skills, which perfectly interprets Yang Kang's complex heart and noble temperament, and is known as "Yang Kang closest to the original work".
Pan Hongbin's frivolous Yang Kang: After Miao Qiaowei, Pan Hongbin's version of Yang Kang was controversial. Although his appearance is acceptable, his acting skills are not good, and he played Yang Kang into a frivolous and prodigal image, which shocked the audience.
