Zhang Ying and Zhou Kunling stills

He is an actor in the Cantonese film era in Hong Kong, and Bruce Lee is also a child star and often appears in the films he starred in. Together with the other three Cantonese film actors Wu Chufan, Zhang Huoyou and Li Qing, they are collectively called the "Four Great Young Students in Cantonese Films".

He has participated in the film work of the famous "Zhonglian Film Enterprise Co., Ltd." founded with Wu Chufan and Bai Yan, including famous works such as "Home" (1953), "Spring" (1953), "Autumn" (1954), etc. He and Wu Chufan, Zhang Huoyou, and Li Qing were called the "Four Little Students" in the Hong Kong Cantonese film of the year. He performed well, whether it was good or evil. In addition to literary films, he also cooperated with Bai Yan (as Yin Susu) in the first generation of Jin Yong's martial arts film "Yitian Dragon Slayer", playing the role of Zhang Cuishan.

Zhang Ying later joined TVB briefly, and after falling out with him, she joined Li's TV in the 1970s, during which she also starred in several movies. Zhang Ying's roles are diverse, including those of decent upper-class figures, such as Qingsong, the head of Wudang in "The Silkworm Transformation" (TV series version), Yue Shihao, the descendant of Yue Fei in "Raging Sword Ming", Zhang Juzheng in "The Battle for Hegemony in the Lake and Sea", and Chongzhen in "The Emperor of Martial Arts and Women's Flowers"; he can also play more obscene profiteers or hypocrites, such as the one in "The Grace of the Earth" who wears a Confucian Confucian and Mencius moral dress, but his behavior is not much different from that of a despicable villain, Sun Xuezhai, a fake Taoist teacher, the underworld boss in the movie "Wild Dragon", and Chen Qianyi, a speculator in the movie "Fa Qian Han". His last works in ATV in late 1983 included "Sword Immortal Li Bai" and "Iron Gall Hero". Zhang Ying recognized Wan Ziliang as her son when Li was a basic actor. At the end of 1984, Zhang Ying, Dillon, Gu Feng and other stars went to the United States to star in the movie "Seeing Enemies Again", and died shortly after filming. His son Zhang Wei, who was also a TV actor, wrote a website "Zhang Ying and Zhang Wei" to commemorate his deceased father.

Hong Kong film actors Wu Chufan and Zhang Ying are no strangers to older people. In Hong Kong from the 1930s to the 1960s, they dominated the film industry, each shooting more than 300 films, and they were known as the film emperors. The Cantonese films they filmed are household names and well-known in Chinese areas around the world. They are famous actors that are extremely loved and praised by the audience. Zhang Ying switched to TV series in the 1970s. After the reform and opening up, Zhanjiang introduced and broadcast many Hong Kong TV series. Audiences will never forget Mr. Sun, a private school teacher who always regarded himself as a "Q spirit in the TV series" The Grace of the Earth ", nor will they forget the father of Yachong who often calls out" Sticky Line "in" Rogue Tycoon ". Both roles are played by Zhang Ying. Her unconventional and extraordinary acting skills have fascinated Zhanjiang audiences. Influenced by it, for a long time, the word" Sticky Line "has become a popular word in Zhanjiang. These two outstanding performing artists had difficulty reaching Zhanjiang (formerly Gangzhou Bay) during the Anti-Japanese War for half a year and experienced the most difficult years of their lives.

Wu Chufan, a native of Fujian Province, graduated from Hong Kong's Pui Ching Middle School. In his early years, he worked as a shop salesperson and factory manager. He studied his hobbies. In 1935, he was favored by Hong Kong Lianhua Film Company and starred in the first Cantonese film "Lifeline". He became famous and became famous. In the future, he made countless films, earning the title of "South China Film King." He successfully played Gao Juexin in Ba Jin's trilogy "Home","Spring" and "Autumn". Among them,"Spring" won the Outstanding Film Award from the Ministry of Culture in 1957, and he also won the Gold Medal for Outstanding Actor. Ba Jin praised him as an outstanding performing artist and died of illness in Canada in 1993. Zhang Ying, also a native of Fujian, graduated from Hua Yan College in Hong Kong. She worked as a young student in the Cantonese opera industry in her early days. She appeared on the screen in early 1937 and starred in her debut film "The Night Pearl" and became popular in the film world. Like Wu Chufan, she has a broad career and has countless films. She is known as the "Emperor of Cantonese Films". The feature film "The Prodigal", which he starred in, brilliantly portrayed a degenerate young man, and "The Prodigal" once became synonymous with him. He switched to TV series and was not old enough. All the roles he played were quite successful. He had many fans of the series in Hong Kong and was also known as the "Double Emperor of Film and Television." Zhang Ying has a daughter, Zhang Chuyun, who was the first Hong Kong Sister Champion in Hong Kong and also died of illness in Canada in 1990. Wu Chufan and Zhang Ying were born in the same place of origin and died in the same foreign country. Their life experiences and career achievements were very similar. During the Anti-Japanese War, they had difficulty walking the same waterway to stop in Zhanjiang. It can be said to be amazing and clever.

After the fall of Hong Kong in 1941, after the Japanese invaders occupied Hong Kong, they planned to use Hong Kong's production facilities and film personnel to prepare a film "Hong Kong Raiders" to promote the achievements of the Japanese army and the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle. Word spread, and the film practitioners in Hong Kong were unwilling to join the enemy and vowed not to serve the Japanese invaders. At that time, Zhanjiang was a French colony, and it was safe, and land and water transportation could be reached from Hong Kong to Zhanjiang, so they fled south to Zhanjiang one after another. Along with Wu Chufan and Zhang Ying, there were also famous actors Huang Manli, Baiyan, Mei Qi, and Da Kou. At this time, Zhanjiang had not yet established a city, but was just a small commercial port. The economy was poor and backward, and the natural environment was very harsh. Artists such as Wu Chufan and Zhang Ying lived very hard in Zh When they first arrived, Zhang Ying lost her luggage due to the war, and she didn't even have a change of clothes. Wu Chufan was forced to change his career as a broker. He contacted accommodation, stored goods, and found buyers for the merchant of the "Yonghua" cargo ship that went to Haiphong, Vietnam. In order to save the line, they did not dare to stay in hotels and inns, and rented collective accommodation with the artists on Erheng Road, Chikan Dade. More than 20 people were packed together on tiled floors. The weather was hot, ants and flies were breeding, and the sewage was flowing around. The stench was pungent, and the difficult situation could be imagined. Whenever I think back on this poignant past, Wu Chufan and Zhang Ying can't look back and are filled with emotion.

Driven by national hatred and family hatred, common hatred and patriotic enthusiasm, Wu Chufan and Zhang Ying initiated the organization of Hong Kong film practitioners in Zhanjiang to establish the "Star Repertory Theatre", which can not only play a skill, serve the society, publicize the Anti-Japanese War, but also solve the problem of artists to make a living. The Repertory Theatre is headed by Zhao Shutai, directed by Wu Hui, Li Chenfeng and Yu Muyun, and Xie Yizhi is in charge of stage supervision. In addition to Wu and Zhang, the main actors include Huang Manli, Mei Qi, etc., and there are more than 20 backstage staff and family members. Combined with the promotion of anti-Japanese salvation, the people are encouraged to protect their families and defend the country, and a series of excellent dramas are performed, including "Lin Chong", "Thunderstorm", "Minister of the Imperial Court", "Lust Devil" and so on. Their stage coordination is complete, the actors cooperate tacitly, their acting skills are superb, the scenery is unique, and the lighting is changeable, which refreshes the audience in Zhanjiang. They performed in Chikan Ping'an Theater (now opposite the People's Cinema) and other places for four months, and the venue was almost full.

Hong Kong film artists such as Wu Chufan and Zhang Ying left a deep impression on the public during their activities in Zhanjiang and also changed the market structure of Zhanjiang films. Earlier, Zhanjiang Films had always been dominated by American films, and MGM and Warner Film companies had always dominated the market. Wu Chufan, Zhang Ying and other film practitioners

After arriving in Zhanjiang, they subtly communicated with Zhanjiang residents 'understanding and love for Hong Kong films. They changed from liking American films to Hong Kong films, especially Cantonese films, breaking the exclusive advantage of American films. This hobby has continued to this day, and Hong Kong-made films have always been the highlight of Zhanjiang people's films.

In 1943, Zhanjiang was also occupied by Japanese invaders. The Hong Kong Star Repertory Theatre was divided into two groups in the war and went to Guilin and Vietnam to continue performing. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Wu Chufan and Zhang Ying returned to their hometown from the mainland and resumed their old business. They are still famous in the film industry. Fifteen years later, in 1957, Wu Chufan and Zhang Ying went to Zhanjiang with a delegation from the Hong Kong film industry to revisit the old place. The poignant past is vivid in their minds and they are filled with emotion. They searched for the Ping An Theater, which was destroyed in a fire during the war. Now the building has been rebuilt and has become a Chikan grain station. They also made a special trip to the Yiji Chicken Restaurant on Zhongshan Road to taste the fragrant chicken oil rice that left an unforgettable memory when they were in trouble. Afterwards, they visited Zhanjiang Port, toured the city appearance, and learned about the construction achievements of Zhanjiang Seeing Zhanjiang's old appearance changed to a new appearance, Wu Chufan and Zhang Ying were overjoyed and smiled.
