However, when the public opinion in Hong Kong was the strongest in 1991, there was a Hollywood superstar who unswervingly said: "I will definitely be in China when Hong Kong returns!"
so he booked the hotel several months in advance in 1997. Come and watch the five-star red flag rise happily.

Abandoned babies, constantly desperate lives
Hong Kong in 1952, adopted children can receive government subsidies.
On this day, a disabled woman stumbled upon this baby who had been abandoned in a bamboo basket when she was born. She did not know whether it was her human nature or the temptation of government subsidies. In short, Zunlong was lucky to survive.
However, the feeling of being under the fence is uncomfortable. The adoptive mother is withdrawn and weird. She often beats and scolds Zunlong for a small matter. Several times, the adoptive mother even wants to throw him away.
"Those me on the bus stop in Hong Kong once and didn't want me. That time, we looked at each other... Finally, she came over and took my hand home." Zun Long recalled. Even though
is so sad, after becoming a big star, Zun Long, in order to repay his adoptive mother's "not abandoning grace", continued to support her adoptive mother until her death.
When Zun Long was 10 years old, his adoptive mother thought that he looked good, so she sent him to the Hong Kong Spring and Autumn Opera Club to learn Peking Opera, so that she could learn things and reduce her burden.
, the dragon at the time, didn't even have a name. In the troupe, everyone called him Johnny (little boy). The life in the
opera troupe is also not easy. You have to face both the hardship of learning arts and the bullying of your classmates.
His entire childhood was full of beatings, squeezing, insults, depression, pain, and despair... so he also mentioned in an interview: "I have no family, no parents, no reading, no Childhood."
After graduating from the theater, John Long could have accepted Shaw Films' ten-year martial arts contract, but he refused. There is no clear reason for
, but he vaguely feels that this is not the life he wants.
And when he was 17 years old, an American family took a fancy to him and sponsored him to travel to the United States.
Zunlong felt that a turning point in his life had appeared.
is embarrassed that Zunlong doesn't even have a name at this time, so in order to apply for a passport, he also chose a name, Wu Guoliang.

So he went to work as a dishwasher, as a cleaner, he did almost all the jobs of the low-level staff, and then he took the hard-earned money to learn English, learn acting, and finally passed the exam. American Academy of Dramatic Arts.
This also means that he can finally film the film, even if it is some trivial small role.
However, the first prize in Zunlong's life is still relying on his own talents to make drama.

29-year-old He really has his own name. From an orphan to a superstar, it took him 35 years for
to win this award. Many directors cast a curious and admiring look on him. One of them is called Topaz.
, Topaz, is a female class, but she abruptly printed her own name in Hollywood. You must know that she was a famous Chinese agent who brought Liu Yuling and Chen Chong into Hollywood. .
In 1984, Zunlong successfully won the protagonist position of "Forty Thousand Years of Iceman" with the energy of Huang Yumei.
Zunlong is inThe role played is a primitive person who can't speak. The character can't speak, which means that the actor can't express emotions in passionate or sad language. Everything can only rely on his own eye expressions and body language.
He succeeded, even if the role was "without a line" in a certain sense, once the film was released, Zun Long gained popularity in Hollywood and was greatly favored by audiences and directors.
In 1985, Zun Long took over the filming of "The Year of the Dragon" directed by Michael Cimino, in which he played a triad boss. After the
film was released, Zunlong was crowned god overnight and was regarded by the American media as "the most handsome gangster ever", and he was nominated for the 43rd American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards for Best Supporting Actor with his "Year of the Dragon" He is the first Chinese actor to have such an honor at the Golden Globe Awards.
Zunlong's face value is known as 360-degree handsome with no dead ends, with a crown of jade, sword eyebrows and stars. Whether in the East or the West, his facial features are regarded as the golden ratio standard.
is also because of such advantages. The dragon who has shown his prowess in Hollywood is out of control and has attracted a large number of international fans.
In 1987, Zun Long was invited by the famous director Bernardo Bertolucci to star in the "Last Emperor" of Emperor Puyi.
Once "The Last Emperor" comes out, various awards such as the Oscars, the United States Global Awards, etc., are simply within reach.
Zunlong also won the American Golden Globe Award for Best Actor nomination for this film, and it was the first time that the entire Western world was captivated by an oriental male face. It can be said to be well-known at home and abroad and popular all over the world!
Immediately afterwards, media all over the world rushed to report on him, and the American "People" magazine selected him as one of the "50 Most Beautiful People" Chinese male film star.
Even our goddess Brigitte Lin and Wang Zuxian are just little fans of Zunlong. At that time, Zunlong had become an international superstar, with a world-famous reputation, boundless scenery, and a life envied by countless people.
However, he always felt that something was missing.
The Chinese superstar
overwhelmed by public opinion, the older the person, the more they miss their homeland, and this Hollywood superstar is no exception.
is nearly forty years old. Zunlong, who lives in a foreign country, has only one thought: "I want to return to China!"
could have stayed in Hollywood, he could have been more famous and wealthy, but his paranoid character cannot be changed. Now, he only wants to return to China to film and make his own contribution to the acting career of the motherland.
But what he didn't expect was that this road to return to China would have caused him a rough half of his life.
bears the brunt of the dissemination of bad media in Hong Kong. In order to catch the popularity of the Hollywood superstar, they even said that Zun Long was impoverished abroad and owed huge foreign debts. Now he goes home to film for money.
However, in the late 1980s, the average monthly salary of Chinese people was less than 100, but Zun Long's salary in Hollywood at that time had exceeded 10 million.
However, the masses at the time had only one point of view: what the newspaper said must be true.
Therefore, these media "successfully" corrupted the reputation of Zunlong.
and the incident again is "Farewell My Concubine". The actor in this classic work should have been Zun Long, and Zun Long himself also rejected a Hollywood movie, a Broadway stage play and a French commercial for this. In addition, the self-declined pay of 300,000 U.S. dollars has even turned away the "Lover" starring Liang Jiahui later.
ended up unscathed because Chen Kaige couldn't meet some of Zunlong's requirements.
At this time, bad media in Hong Kong reappeared, and there were overwhelming rumors about Zun Long playing big names. When Zun Long returned from Japan, he even complained to his friend Ms. Song Huaigui with aggrieved expression: "I don't know what happened!"
, If Zun Long really likes to play big names, then why doesn't he go to make foreign blockbusters? Why should I drop 300,000 dollars? That was 300,000 US dollars in the 1980s! The most extreme thing about
is that there are even media spreading the rumors that "Zunlong scolds Chen Kaige", which is simply annoying.
Zunlong has been living in the play since he was a child, he also lived for the play, he is even an idealist.
When filming "Princess Yang", Zunlong's ideals were finally shattered.
He found that the crew did not respect him, no one cooperated with him when filming, and he even needed a propThey couldn't satisfy him. The reason they called him to film the film was simply because he could bring them foreign investors, nothing more.
and later the director was scolded away, foreign investors were angered away, and then the crew asked Zun Long to return to Canada to wait for news, so Zun Long finally waited for the notice of his role change.
At this time, there were rumors in the crew that Zun Long was often late and absent from work, so Zun Long has become an endorsement of bad character in the eyes of the media.
Finally, in 2012, the 60-year-old Zunlong, perhaps tired of the scams and intrigues of the entertainment industry, decided to stop filming. Now he lives in Canada and has no children and is alone. He only loves dogs and two. Accompanied by a thousand-year-old tree.
everyone shared his glory, but left loneliness for him to taste alone.
Now, when it comes to internationally renowned Chinese actors, Zun Long always has to be pulled out for a show. After regaining a wave of dignity for the Chinese film circle, he is then forgotten to the corner.
The foreign entertainment circle presented him with flowers and applause, he dismissed it; the domestic entertainment circle stabbed him one after another, but he was heartbroken but helpless.
He suffered all kinds of insults, but he didn't get the respect he deserved.
END
Zunlong is a very confident person.
At the opening of the 60th Oscar, Zun Long looked back and waved confidently to the camera; when the nomination list was announced for the 43rd Golden Globe Awards, Zun Long blinked and smiled with the protagonist's halo.
But when the 10th Huabiao Awards invited Zunlong to present the award, he was very nervous.
He said: "The Oscar is because of work, but participating in the Huabiao Awards is the recognition of my motherland!"
Fifty years ago, Zun Long went overseas to chase his dream and set foot on a foreign country that doesn't even speak any language. .
Fifty years later, he stood on the other side of the sea and looked at this side of the shore, and tried his best, but now he is bruised and bruised but he can never come back.
