Everyone must be very familiar with Zhao Benshan, and everyone has a deep memory of the "Big Flicker" trilogy "Selling Abduction", "Selling Cars" and "Kung Fu" performed by him, Gao Xiumin and Fan Wei on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
However, many people don't know that the inspiration for the role of "Big Flicker" played by Zhao Benshan in these three sketches comes fromFamous actor and performing artist Li Shunanplayed the role of "Qian Guang" in the film "Green Pine Ridge".
is also an excellent actor, although Li Shunan does not have too high popularity and popularity, but he has been in the arts for decades, whether it is his works, acting skills, or his personality, he has absolutely nothing to say, he is a performing artist with both virtue and art!
He became popular with the role of "Qian Guang" in "Green Pine Ridge", not only recognized by the audience, but also hated because of his good acting skills, and even made up a ballad to scold him.
It's a pityThis old artist with both virtue and art passed away quietly 7 years ago, bidding farewell to his relatives and friends who love him, and farewell to the audience who loves him.
However, although Li Shunan is gone, the film and television works he brought to the audience, as well as one classic role after another, will always remain in the world and continue to accompany the audience who loves him.
One
Li Shunan, formerly known as Qian Guangwen, was born on April 18, 1928 in a wealthy family in Fengning County, Chengde City, Hebei Province.
Because his ancestors have been farmers for generations, in order to let Li Shunan get out of the countryside in the future, he has been pinned on by his parents since he was a child.
While other friends were busy running and chasing in the fields, Li Shunan had been sent by his parents to study in the county primary school in Fengning County, so that he could be taught poetry and book etiquette.
Li Shunan, who has been sensible and well-behaved since he was a child, did not disappoint his parents, he is smart and clever, he has worked hard in Xi, and his grades have always been among the best in the class.
After graduating from primary school, Li Shunan was admitted to the High School Affiliated to Peking Normal University.
According to Li Shunan's parents' plan for him, he should study hard and Xi become a learned and respected person in the future, but Li Shunan did not follow their expected path.
When he was in middle school, Li Shunan joined the school's drama club in addition to Xi, and often followed other students to participate in performances.
From just being curious and for fun at the beginning, to receiving more and more applause and praise from classmates on the stage as more and more works were performed, Li Shunan completely fell in love with the art of acting.
In order to realize his dream of being an actor, in 1949, 21-year-old Li Shunan joined the Rehe Provincial Art Troupe as an opera singer.
In the following years, he has been developing in the art troupe, following other actors in the troupe to be active on various stages, and accumulating rich stage experience through frequent stage performances.
In 1953, the Rehe Provincial Art Troupe was rebuilt and became the Rehe Provincial Repertory Troupe, and Li Shunan changed from a singer and dancer to a drama actor.
After two years of development in the Rehe Provincial Repertory Theatre, Li Shunan left here and returned to the Chengde Repertory Theatre in his hometown of Chengde to continue as a drama actor.
II
During the development of the Chengde Repertory Theatre in his hometown, as he grew older, under the urging of his parents and family, Li Shunan reaped his happiness and came together with his first girlfriend.
After that, Li Shunan developed his career while talking about the love with his girlfriend, and lived a very good life.
As the relationship continued to heat up, he and his first girlfriend entered the palace of marriage, and after marriage, his wife helped him worry about life affairs and take care of the family behind him, and he developed his career with peace of mind.
And with Li Shunan's continuous efforts, he devoted himself to his acting career, and his career developed very well.
With his solid acting skills and humble and studious personality, he quickly gained a firm foothold in the Chengde Repertory Theatre and became a popular actor in the troupe.
At that time, whenever he came on stage, he would be welcomed and applauded by the audience in a large number of audiences, among which he participated in dramas such as "Qushui Long Flowers Blooming" and "Being a Family" were even more praised.
However, when it comes to what really makes Li Shunan well-known to audiences across the country, it is the film "Green Pine Ridge" in which he participated.
In the 60s of the last century, Zhang Zhongpeng, a famous screenwriter who had created classic drama scripts such as "The Competition of the Spark Society", "Marriage with a Handle", "Night" and "Li Xiao'e", carefully created the drama script "Green Pine Ridge", and performed the drama after the script was created, which caused a violent response.
In 1964, after careful consideration, Changying Studio decided to adapt "Green Pine Ridge" into a movie, and handed over the shooting task to directors Liu Guoquan and Jiang Shusen.
In order to show the original flavor of this drama work, when preparing for the filming, the two directors specially invited actors such as Li Rentang, Zhu Longguang, and Liu Xiaomei, who had previously participated in the drama of the same name, to participate, among them, Li Shunan was also invited.

The film "Qingsongling" mainly tells the story of Da Jing, Xiumei and other young people of the Qingsongling Production Brigade, under the leadership and help of Zhang Wanshan, a model breeder, who fought against the people who sabotaged production.
Li Shunan plays the role of the supporting role of handlebar "Qian Guang" in it, the character of the character is backward in thought, selfish, does not love the collective, and thinks about how to calculate others all day long.
In order to play this role well, Li Shunan deliberately went to the hometown of the character's prototype to experience life before filming, learned about the local customs from the mouths of the villagers, and observed the words and deeds of the locals, as well as the demeanor and movements when working.
When filming started, Li Shunan portrayed the character of "Qian Guang" very well, whether it was the brim of his hat that was pulled down, or his eyes that involuntarily turned when calculating others, they were all vivid.
became popular with him, as well as some of the classic lines he said in the film, such as "One must be wonderful, and the other must be wonderful." Rely on the collective to eat food, and rely on yourself to spend money. What do you want to say about capitalism?Who hasn't had a little yet!"Wait.
Because Li Shunan's portrayal of the role of "Qian Guang" is too vivid and his acting skills are too good, after he became popular, he was deeply loved by the audience, but he was hated and abused by some audiences who misunderstood him.
At that time, someone even made up a ballad to scold him for playing Qian Guang, and the lyrics sang:Qian Guang drove the car, Sun Fu brought some goods, peppers, hazelnuts and mushrooms, Qian Guang's wife Qigu said, why did he give him more than two yuan.
Li Shunan, who quickly became popular with the film "Green Pine Ridge", became a powerful actor well-known to audiences across the country overnight, but unfortunately, his popularity did not last long.
Due to the ten-year special period soon after the release of the film, with the silence of his literary and artistic career, Li Shunan's acting career has also calmed down.
In the following years, Li Shunan not only did not shoot film and television works, but even his drama performances were affected, and he rarely performed on stage.
It was not until the seventies of the last century, as the special period came to an end, that the literary and artistic career developed rapidly again, and Li Shunan's acting career returned to normal.
Fourth
After the recovery of his acting career, Li Shunan was active on the drama stage and in the entertainment industry at the same time, and participated in many film and television works one after another.
In 1973, when Changying Studio remade the film "Green Pine Ridge", it once again invited Li Shunan to play the role of "Qian Guang" in the film.
Although it has been a full 8 years since he last played the role, he still managed the role very well with his superb acting skills, and after the release of the film the following year, his performance was once again recognized by the audience.
Since 1975, Li Shunan, who has been developing his acting career with his heart, has successively participated in many film and television works, such as "The River Flows", "I am among them", "The First Chronicle of the Storm", "The Two Heroes", "Blue Flower", "Youth ***" and so on.
In the mid-to-late eighties of the last century, Li Shunan, who was developing his career with his heart, filmed classic works such as "Thirteen Sisters of Chivalry", "The Field is a Green Gauze Tent Again", "The First Woman in the Mountains and Forests", and "The Mother-in-law and Aunts of Loess Slope".
It wasn't until 1990 that he, who loves acting, faded out of the public's sight after participating in the film "Bloody Morning" produced by Beijing Film Studio, directed by Li Shaohong, and starring Hu Yajie, Kong Lin, Zhao Jun and others.
After that, Li Shunan seemed to have completely abandoned the acting he loved, rarely participated in film and television works again, and rarely appeared in front of the public.
Five
Since the nineties of the last century, Li Shunan, who is over 60 years old, no longer focuses on his career as before, but puts his time and energy on life.
Li Shunan, who neglected to take care of his family and the company of his family because he was busy acting when he was young, especially the company of his wife, began to make up for all this with his heart.
He left all his time to his family, took over the burden of taking care of his family from his wife, and took good care of his family.
Out of debt to his wife, he has always loved his wife as a treasure, going out to buy vegetables and cooking with each other every day, and when he has nothing to do, the old couple press the road together, visit the park and so on.
Every once in a while, the old couple also go out to travel together to relax, to appreciate the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, and live a colorful life.
This peaceful life lasted for more than 20 years, until 2016, when Li Shunan's death came to an abrupt end.
In 2016, Li Shunan, who had faded out of the public eye for many years, passed away quietly at the age of 88.
Because he had faded out of the showbiz for many years when he died, and he had been very low-key in his life, many audiences, and even his peers in the entertainment industry, did not know the news of his death.
And those viewers who knew about his death were very surprised when they learned the news, after all, everyone didn't expect that the old artist, who had created so many classic roles for the audience, would leave everyone like this.
However, there is one thing that everyone who loves and supports this performing artist is happy, that is, although he is gone, the works he left behind and the classic characters he created one after another will continue to accompany everyone.
Six
Now 7 years have passed since Li Shunan's death, and for many audiences, everyone has slowly forgotten about this performing artist.
It can even be said that many slightly younger viewers have not only not seen his works, but have not even heard of his name.
Even, when searching for Li Shunan's name on some **, I couldn't even find his detailed information, which is really embarrassing.
As an actor, Li Shunan's acting skills, works, and professionalism are definitely worthy of admiration from people inside and outside the circle.
Especially his seriousness about the role, in order to play a role well, he can spend a lot of time preparing in advance, even if he does useless work many times without regrets, this alone is worth learning from many young actors today Xi
What's even more rare is that compared with many actors of the same period, many people will use various gimmicks and hype to maintain their popularity after they become popular, but he didn't.
Even,When he was in his sixties, as an old actor, he resolutely gave up his career and returned to ordinary life
It can be said that an actor like Li Shunan, who never thinks about whether he can become popular, or whether he can be popular all the time, but brings good works to the audience in a low-key manner, and plays every role seriously is a real performing artist with both virtue and art!
It's a pity that with his retirement and his passing, we can no longer see the new works he shoots, and we can no longer see the new roles he portrays.
And Li Shunan's death is not only a huge regret for the audience, but also a major loss for the entertainment industry!
