Asia's most beautiful man, an international superstar, the first Chinese to appear on the Oscar podium, the halo on the head of the dragon is very dazzling.
When he introduced himself, he said only a few words, but he was full of endless sadness.
Zunlong is the name he gave himself, and he only got his name when he was in his 20s.
He is like a seed that falls in a harsh environment, striving to grow upward, breaking through the darkness, and finally growing into a towering tree that people look up to and bring shade to people.
Zunlong's life almost ended at the beginning.
In 1952, shortly after he was born, he was left to fend for himself by his parents in a basket and thrown on the streets of Hong Kong.
A Shanghainese woman who fled to Hong Kong has a disability and has a hard time surviving because she can receive government subsidies for adopting a child, and she adopts Zunlong, who is still an infant.
I have exhausted all my strength to be alive, and my adoptive mother has no extra love for Zunlong, so she often beats and scolds him and makes him angry.
Zunlong and his adoptive mother lived in a slum area, the family was too poor, and Zunlong in his childhood was very satisfied to have a bowl of rice, half a salted egg, and a basket to sleep in.
The adoptive mother is old, disabled, and has to carry a child of a few years old, life is too difficult, and countless times she has the idea of discarding Zunlong.
One day, she finally made up her mind, took Xiao Zunlong to the bus stop, left him and turned away.
The adoptive mother is not a bad person, just a poor person who has been cornered by life, and after all, she can't be ruthless, and she brought Zunlong back.
When Zunlong was 10 years old, his adoptive mother sent him to the troupe.
The troupe was very hard, but it was a way out for the children of poor families at that time to be able to learn a skill.
In the troupe, Zunlong was injured in a fight with his bully, and because he had no money to go to the hospital, he endured the pain and asked the tailor to stitch 8 stitches with a sewing needle.
The days of learning opera are too hard, you have to learn singing, dancing, and martial arts, Zunlong has been caught several times, and every time he escapes, he has to suffer a beating.
Once he finally ran out, but he didn't know where he was going, but there was no place for him, so he could only return to the troupe.
At the age of 17, after graduating from the opera troupe, Zunlong stood at a fork in the road in life.
He can go to Shaw Brothers Film Company, he has good looks and ability, and he will soon become a popular star in Hong Kong.
An American family is willing to sponsor him to go to United States, and when he goes to United States, he has to start from scratch.
Zunlong felt that the Hong Kong film and television industry was not suitable for him, and it would be difficult to go to United States and enter Hollywood, but it was the closest thing to his dream.
Zunlong, who came to United States, studied while working, and was later admitted to the United States Academy of Dramatic Arts.
At that time, it was difficult for Chinese actors to get ahead in Hollywood, and Zunlong ran for several years.
During this time, he entered the Broadway stage play.
Zunlong is handsome and handsome, has excellent acting skills, and has profound skills, as long as he is given a stage, he can shine brightly.
He won the highest award in United States theater, the Obi Award for Best Performance.
After becoming famous in the theater industry, Hollywood also extended an olive branch to him, and Zunlong had the opportunity to play the leading role.
"The Last Emperor" is his pinnacle work.
Zunlong, who wears a dragon robe, is the emperor himself, and an imperial aura comes to his face, and he perfectly interprets Pu Yi's life.
This film won 9 Oscars, which determined Zunlong's status in the film and television industry, and the highest-paid international superstar.
Zunlong's charm has made Wu Junmei, Chen Chong, Lin Qingxia and other actresses praised, and has also been recognized internationally, he was selected as the "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" by United States magazine, and the Japanese media called him "the most beautiful Oriental man".
"The Last Emperor" was filmed in the Forbidden City, and Zunlong felt very cordial when he first set foot on the land of the motherland, and he had the idea of coming back to retire and began to shoot domestic film and television dramas.
When "Farewell My Concubine" invited Zunlong to play "Cheng Dieyi", he was very happy, took the initiative to reduce his salary, and turned down other invitations that conflicted with the time of this play.
After Zunlong agreed to star, the crew of "Farewell My Concubine" regretted it again.
felt that his appearance was not soft enough to be suitable for acting Cheng Dieyi, although Zunlong had lowered his salary, he still felt that his salary was too high and he couldn't bear it.
Zunlong is alone, has no relatives, and has a deep relationship with the pet dog at home, and he hopes to fly the dog over to accompany him to act.
The crew was worried that there was no excuse, so they replaced him on this ground, and also claimed that he was playing a big name, asking too much, and mentioning the overlord clause.
Although he was pitted, Zunlong's enthusiasm was not extinguished.
He is not familiar with the domestic situation, and was fooled into making some bad movies such as "Qianlong and Xiangfei", and with the help of the media and some people, Zunlong was shaped into an outdated star who "circled money" and "played big names".
In 2012, 60-year-old Zunlong was invited to film "Yang Guifei" as "Tang Minghuang", but he was replaced halfway through filming.
Zunlong is as simple-hearted as a child, enthusiastic, and full of hope, but he has been repeatedly rumored, slandered, and disliked, he did not fight back, did not complain, turned away silently, and withdrew from the film and television industry.
The world has hurt him repeatedly, but the pure-hearted Zunlong does not hate anyone, he forgives his adoptive mother and forgives all those who hurt him.
He selflessly gave back to the society, trained young generations, and set up schools in mountainous areas to help children in mountainous areas get out of trouble.
Zunlong spent his life healing his unhappy childhood, and he tried his best but failed to completely save himself.
Years of solitude have made him accustomed to being alone, he can't accept sharing a bed with others, and he doesn't know how to express love.
Because of the drama, he fell in love with Chen Chong, but he was destined to be fruitless and celibate until he grew old.
Today, Zunlong lives alone in Vancouver, with his dog and his home next to the boundless forest, and his life is clean and comfortable.
I don't know who my parents are, I always feel like duckweed without roots, and I have no roots, so I recognized 2 thousand-year-old trees as grandparents, and since then I have roots.
