Eve Curie once said, "If a person is young and lonely, he is completely devoted to learning, and although he cannot be self-sufficient, he leads the most fulfilling life."
, who played the old abbot in the movie "New Oolongyuan", despite his excellent performance, he did not attract too many people's attention. His name is not familiar to many people, but when you understand his life seriously, you will feel How ordinary he is, he is Li Mingyang.
Li Mingyang was born in 1917, a descendant of Zeng Guopan's military division. But despite this, in his generation, conditions can already be described as poverty. In order to make a living and get relief from the foreign school, he relied on his extraordinary learning ability to learn fluent English in the school run by the church. When he was young, he followed the development of the times and came to St. John's University, a noble school in Greater Shanghai, as the dean of the sports department. After
, he became one of the few Chinese to participate in the Olympic parade for the first time. There are many talented people in St. John's University. Through this approach, Li Mingyang has met like-minded friends. For example, Lin Yutang is his alumnus. His extraordinaryness is seen by many people. Although
was born in poverty, it does not prevent Li Mingyang from having a wide range of hobbies. He also participated in the youth woodcut class founded by Lu Xun and was fortunate to be a student of Lu Xun. He can also ride a Harley motorcycle with actor Joe Qi to show his youthful spirit.
After the end of the Anti-Japanese War and the beginning of the Chinese Civil War, the situation in the interior was turbulent, so Mr. Li Mingyang boarded the last "Gordon" ship from Shanghai to Hong Kong and started his brand new journey. When
came to Hong Kong, his keen business sense allowed him to seize a good opportunity, and now he decisively established his own "Li Brand". This brand focuses on manufacturing dolls with various Chinese elements and is an emerging industrial route. A storm has also been set off in the Hong Kong market, and many businessmen have followed suit. At that time, Li Ka-shing had not started his own business. His worth was several times higher than that of Li Ka-shing. It can be said that he was even more successful than Li Ka-shing.
His business miracle ceased to be noticeable in his later years. More and more competitor brands were rushing to go public. Before clearing out the counterattack, the "Li Brand" began to go downhill.
Li Mingyang, who was frustrated in business, did not give up the pursuit of the meaning of life. By chance, the photographer took a picture of Li Mingyang and named it "Hong Kong Smile", which quickly became popular throughout Hong Kong. Li Mingyang, who is well-loved by the public, decided to develop into the show business after consideration.
His smile has infected many big-name stars in the interpretation circle. Among them, Xiao Fangfang named him and wanted to ask him to collaborate on his new movie. At the age of 80, he won two Taiwan Golden Horse Best Supporting Actor Awards for his outstanding performances in the two films "Tempting Monk" and "Cage Man". The highest honor is the dream of many people, but the two awards, Mr. Li Mingyang did not come forward to accept the award, he was indifferent to fame and fortune only as a personal hobby. After
as an actor, he has participated in more than ten or twenty film works such as "The Shaolin Good Boy", "The Flying Elephant Project", "Laughing Lin Laozu", but because of his indifferent character, he has been playing The showbiz is tepid.
He also has an English name called Mike Li, Micheal Li, and many of the things he didn't talk to outsiders were recorded in her book "Mr. Shanghai" by author Cheng Naishan.
The man with wrinkled clothes finally arrived in Hong Kong after a few days on the ship. He wanted to ask Li Mingyang why he gave up the high-paying position of the director of the sports department of St. John’s University. I was afraid that he would not be able to answer one. Li Mingyang later talked about it. I am quite proud of my experience of teaching at the university. He said, do you think it is easy to be a sports director at St. John’s University?
Indeed, St. John's has a famous aristocratic university, and it takes a lot of brains to discipline such a group of aristocrats and ladies. There, Li Mingyang had many opportunities in exchange for a rich life, but Li Mingyang did not reach out to seize those opportunities. Li Mingyang is accustomed to being single, and he is still a moonlight clan who holds the high salary of university teachers. He himself recalled in his later years that God gave him a lot of opportunities in his life. He was not too successful but he did not fail. He who loves to play, he played with his friends when he was old, and time went back, as if he was still in front of him. The boy in a pale gray jacket.
accompanied by Li MingyangBian has always been working. He proudly said that he still pays taxes to the country every year when he is ninety years old. It is really a proud thing. His non-arrogant character has won the respect of many people. The movie "New Oolong Yard" has attracted many celebrities, such as Shi Xiaolong, Jet Li, etc. The old abbot who laughed every day also exchanged the laughter of a large number of audiences in the movie. After
got the money, Li Mingyang not only used it for pleasure, he was also keen on doing charity. Most of his savings were given to Vietnamese refugee camps. He is a Christian himself, but he never participates in the group weekend service. He saves this part of the money to buy candy and milk powder and bring it to the refugee children. When he is free, he spends a lot of time teaching the children there. Handicraft, learning English, let them not be disappointed in life, this is a small part of the world's contribution to get a large part of his happiness. Lermontov said that his mind was just full of himself, and that this kind of person is the kind of most empty person. Mr. Li Mingyang should be the least empty type of person.
Li Mingyang didn't have a big fire, until he passed away at 91 years old in 2008, this strange and familiar actor suddenly appeared in people's memory. He did not marry a wife or children in his life, and left peacefully without concern. Mr.
's attitude towards life was analyzed by later generations and was highly praised. Wu Yuzhang wrote that when the silkworms run out of silkworms when they die, people will never rest until they die. If you breathe, you need to work hard and leave it as a good category for youth. Li Mingyang's life is still working hard. He is full of expectations for life than many young men who are in their youth.
Peter Abelard said, "It's very angry, it can easily cause anger and annoyance. It is a bad habit that makes the mind move toward that improper thing. It is impulsive and irrational action." When Li Mingyang grows old, we see him laughing and haha, and it looks like he has no troubles. What he sees in his eyes is worthy of joy, so ordinary troubles cannot attract his attention. Face life with a positive attitude. I hope that when I reminisce in my later years, I will not be full of regret and guilt.
