A red classic that never fades, although the characters he created are supporting roles, they are indispensable
As a unique symbol in the history of Chinese culture, the model play "Shajiabang" carries the memory of a generation, this work has created many deeply rooted characters, such as Guo Jianguang, A Qingsao, Diao Deyi, etc., their respective images and fates are deeply engraved in the minds of the audience, in this star-studded drama, there is an actor and his role, although there are not many scenes, but equally indispensable, he is He Yongying and the secretary Cheng Qianming he plays
Cheng Qianming, as the local leader of Shajiabang, is a bridge connecting the New Fourth Army and the local masses, he strategized, calm, and showed firm revolutionary conviction and noble character at a critical juncture, He Yongying with his superb acting skills, the image of Secretary Cheng Qianming is portrayed thoroughly, although he did not have impassioned singing, there is no thrilling fight scene, but he showed the calm and wisdom revealed in his gestures, but the image of a seasoned revolutionary was vividly displayed
From the stage of Peking Opera to the revolutionary model opera, he has spent his life interpreting the true meaning of art
He Yongying, the outstanding Peking Opera martial arts student who came out of the Chinese Opera College, has been silently dedicating himself to art all his life, he not only created many classic roles on the Peking Opera stage, but also left a strong mark in the creation of the model opera, he played the secretary Cheng Qianming, although only a supporting role in "Sha Jiabang", but in the limited appearance time, the character's personality and spiritual outlook were vividly displayed, leaving a deep impression on the audience
As an actor, He Yongying knows the importance of every role, no matter how big or small, he is fully committed to excellence, he uses his own actions to interpret the professional ethics of "the play is bigger than the sky", and also sets an example for future generations of actors, his life is closely linked to the art of Chinese opera, but also for the unremitting pursuit of artistic ideals of life
A little-known behind-the-scenes hero who dedicates his life to art but is willing to be ordinary
Compared with those well-known model actors, He Yongying's name seems a little unfamiliar, he is like an unknown screw, conscientious in his own post, contributing his own strength to the development of Chinese opera, he never pursues fame and fortune, only hopes to use his performance to bring moving and enlightenment to the audience
Although decades have passed, the image of Secretary Cheng Qianming created by He Yongying is still vividly left in the memory of the audience, his performance is unpretentious, but full of power, he uses his own actions to interpret the professional ethics and artistic pursuit of an excellent actor, his story, but also let us see the love of the older generation of artists for art and dedication to the cause
