Behind that glamorous screen image, Liu Shilong's life experience is far more exciting and bumpy than any role he has created.

Today, let's unveil the mystery of this legendary actor and see what the real Liu Shilong behind "Wang Cheng" has experienced.
1. From the barracks to the screen: Liu Shilong's acting career
Liu Shilong was born into a revolutionary family.
His father was a guerrilla leader, his mother was the president of the Women's Rescue Association, and his sister was also a guerrilla.
In such a family atmosphere, Xiao Liu Shilong has been determined to become a soldier who defends his family and country since he was a child.
At the age of 16, Liu Shilong officially joined the Chinese Communist Party.
From Dabie Mountain to the southwest, the young Liu Shilong has experienced countless battles and made great achievements.
This heroic little soldier later became a familiar screen star!
In 1951, 21-year-old Liu Shilong was selected to study at the Southwest People's Art Theater.
A year later, he was recommended to the Beijing Film Academy.
After graduation, Liu Shilong resolutely chose the Northeast Film Studio, because he wanted to play a soldier and show the image of a soldier to the audience.
Starting from his debut film "Shajiadian Grain Station" in 1954, Liu Shilong has gained a firm foothold on the screen step by step.
In 1960, he starred in "Hong Yan" and "Liu Sanjie" were released one after another, and suddenly became a household name.
2. "Children of Heroes": The pinnacle of career and breakthrough in acting
1964 was definitely a turning point in fate for Liu Shilong.
This year, he received an invitation to play the role of Wang Cheng in "Children of Heroes".
But guess what? This role wasn't originally for him!
At that time, director Wu Zhaodi was worried about the casting.
The two actors recommended by the superior leaders are not suitable in his opinion.
At this moment, Liu Shilong took the initiative to ask.
At first sight of Liu Shilong, Director Wu was moved by the heroic spirit on his body.
However, when Wu proposed to his superiors to use Liu Shilong, he was strongly opposed.
The reason turned out to be - Liu Shilong is not tall enough and does not look heroic! Fortunately, the martial arts director insisted on his own opinion, and this role finally fell into the hands of Liu Shilong.
After getting the role, Liu Shilong was even more excited than playing chicken blood.
In order to better interpret the role of Wang Cheng, he took the initiative to return to the barracks and train and live with the soldiers.
Stand guard, shoot, drop bombs, and do not fall behind.
When it was officially launched, Liu Shilong's whole person was reborn!
At the shooting scene, Liu Shilong was even more desperate.
Remember the classic line "Shoot at me"? In order to shoot this scene well, the crew arranged 108 explosives points! At the moment when the explosion was detonated, Liu Shilong was roasted by the high temperature, and the smoke choked him so much that he could barely speak.
What's worse is that his eyebrows and sideburns were burned, and there were large blisters on his arms.
But Liu Shilong didn't say a word and insisted on finishing this scene!
It is this kind of professionalism that has made "Children of Heroes" a classic, and it has also brought Liu Shilong's acting career to the peak!

The end of this relationship left a deep scar on the young Liu Shilong.

This relationship can be called the sweetest time in Liu Shilong's life.
Mang Shuangying is 9 years younger than Liu Shilong and is a beautiful and talented girl.
The two fell in love at first sight and soon fell in love.
After getting married, Mang Shuangying gave birth to two sons for Liu Shilong, and the family was happy.
However, the sky is unpredictable.
In 2000, Mang Shuangying was diagnosed with leukemia.
Just a year later, she passed away.
36 years of sweet love came to an abrupt end.
Liu Shilong was in pain and fell into deep sadness for a while.
Just when everyone thought that Liu Shilong would not have a third relationship, the 73-year-old ushered in his "twilight love".
This time, the object is Chang Jiarui, who is 34 years younger than him.
Chang Jiarui is a big fan of Liu Shilong.
She took the initiative to pursue Liu Shilong and touched this old man who had experienced vicissitudes with sincere feelings.
Despite the huge age difference, the two still walked into the palace of marriage hand in hand.
4. The darkest hour of life: the white-haired man sends the black-haired man
In 1990, Liu Shilong's eldest son Liu Xiaolong died in a car accident at the age of 36.
As a father, Liu Shilong couldn't accept this cruel truth.
How could his son, the once lively and lovely little boy, leave so suddenly? The white-haired person sends the black-haired person, this kind of pain can only be experienced by those who have experienced it.
However, fate seems to have not hit Liu Shilong hard enough.
Just 8 years later, his beloved wife, Mang Shuangying, was also diagnosed with leukemia.
Although Liu Shilong tried everything he had to save his wife's life, he was ultimately defeated by a ruthless illness.
In 2001, Mang Shuangying passed away, which dealt another heavy blow to Liu Shilong's heart.
After losing his son and wife in succession, Liu Shilong fell into deep despair for a while.
Many people thought that this former screen tough guy would collapse.
But to everyone's surprise, Liu Shilong gritted his teeth and slowly walked out of his grief.

This year, he won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards.
This award is the highest praise for Liu Shilong's artistic achievements in his life.
At that time, Liu Shilong was already sick in bed and could not receive the award in person.
But when he learned the news, a relieved smile appeared on his face.
However, fate always likes to joke.
Just 11 days after winning the award, 87-year-old Liu Shilong left us forever.
His departure has made countless fans feel sad.
At his funeral, many elderly fans dressed up as "Wang Cheng" to bid farewell to him, and the scene was moving.
Write at the end
Liu Shilong's life has not only the halo and glory on the screen, but also the bitterness and hardships in life.
