The young general has always been loved by the audience. They are young and strong, brave and good at fighting, with a strong fighting spirit and enthusiasm for serving the country and saving the people, and often turn danger into disaster and eliminate harm for the people at critical moments. Therefore, the image of a successful young general must possess the key elements of self-confidence, temperament and heroic posture at the same time.
Li Le: The standard reproduction of pride Huo Qu's disease.
In the 2005 TV series "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty", Huo Quzhi, played by Li Le, is impressive with its perfect reproduction. As Emperor Wu of Han's most trusted confidant, Huo Qubing possessed outstanding talent and courageous fighting skills. His insolent personality and unruly nature perfectly demonstrated the pride and rebellion of the young general.
When facing the enemy, his eyes were sharp and his demeanor was proud, showing Huo Quai's young and mature and lofty side. At the same time, Li Le's Huo Quzhi also attaches great importance to demeanor, with a magnificent mount, a silver spear like a rainbow, and a fluttering white coat, commanding and shooting quickly on the battlefield, showing extraordinary military talent. These demonstrate the calmness of a qualified young general. It can be said that Li Le perfectly interprets the image of Huo Quzhi with pride, demeanor and sassiness, which is the best film and television version of Huo Quzhi in people's memory. 
Because of this, it is extremely rare that there is a person who has performed this historical figure so skillfully again.
In 2003, Luo Cheng in "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" was played by Nie Yuan, and he penetrated into the hearts of the audience with the image of a young man in Hanlin. Luo Cheng was brave and heroic by nature, and he could be called a generation of martial champions, but his fate was ill-fated, misunderstandings and political struggles pressed him to a desperate situation, and finally he died young in a tragic way with ten thousand arrows piercing his heart, which made people sigh.
Even though the environment was harsh and imprisoned, Nie Yuan's Luo Cheng was still full of arrogance and perseverance. In the face of the enemy, he was fearless and fought bravely, even if he was wounded. It is this tenacity that touches the audience and makes the role of Luo Cheng the most unforgettable existence. Just like Huo Quzhi played by Li Le, his flawless pride is all visible.
Nie Yuan's Luo Cheng was presented in another image, showing the pride and tragedy of the young general, which deeply touched the audience.
Yang Zongbao, played by Zhang Zhiyao, died young like Luo Cheng.
This aristocratic general showed a noble temperament and a talent for both civil and military affairs.
Yang Zongbao received a martial arts education from his family since he was a child, so he was very good at equestrianism and martial arts.
He exudes the unique flamboyant atmosphere of a young man, and every subtle movement reveals the demeanor of a general.
However, what is impressive is that Yang Zongbao shows extremely fast skills in the movie, every move is crisp and neat, and beauty and practicality coexist. This not only shows his unique military spirit, but also makes people completely unable to see that he was a pampered rich kid. But it's a pity that, just like Luo Cheng played by Nie Yuan, Yang Zongbao's life is destined to be short. In the battle with the rebels, he charged heroically as a vanguard, but suddenly fell to the ground with an arrow, and even though his wife rushed to save him, it was too late. A young general, whose high-spirited life ended early on the battlefield, this is undoubtedly the pinnacle of Zhang Zhiyao's acting skills, and it has also become the biggest regret of the whole play. 
When it comes to young actors, Wu Lei's strength is absolute. As a little fresh meat, he has successfully created a commendable image of a young general through hard work in many dramas. For example, in "Long Song Xing", Wu Lei perfectly played the proficient Ashler Falcon, whether it is hand-to-hand combat or long-distance mounted archery, Wu Lei has shown his strength, without relying on stand-ins and special effects, which is really rare among actors in the same period.
This spirit of daring to challenge is just like the portrayal of the enthusiasm of a teenager.
In 2022's "Splendid Stars", Wu Lei once again tried to play the role of a young general.
He played the character of Ling Budo through ups and downs and hidden.
is different from the heroic image in "Long Song Xing", Wu Lei has put more effort into his eyes and temperament, perfectly showing a teenager who has experienced a sea of blood feud.
This breakthrough proves his eclectic acting skills and the strength to fully control various roles.
Whether in history or in film and television works, the role of the young general is always unforgettable. They are young, promising, full of vitality, bravely fighting in difficult situations, resolving crises, and winning the love of the world.
