Known as the longest-lived sitcom in history, "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" broke the Guinness World Record.
The show has been on the air for more than 20 years, but the actors in the play have passed away one after another due to age or poor health.
According to the joint obituary released by the crew and Guangdong Radio Media ***, on the morning of December 10, the drama ushered in the news that an actor died of illness, the actor was 81-year-old Dai Xichen.
According to the understanding, Dai Xichen joined the crew in 2007 and successfully played the role of Kang Qizu's father-in-law. In the play, he plays Diana's father and Cam Paul's grandfather. Subsequently, Diana and Kang Qizu divorced.
According to the announcement, Dai Xichen's English name is Hazen Macinthre, and his Chinese name is Hazen En , born in Canada and is an American-Canadian. He has worked as a professional baseball player, screenwriter, director, and more in the United States and Canada.
According to the biographical information, Hazeen's wife is an overseas Chinese from Guangzhou, where the couple has lived for the past few years.
It is worth mentioning that in the episode "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" aired last Saturday night, it was mentioned that Dai Xichen felt unwell, which caused Kang Qizu to go to the United States to take care of him. And in the plot on Sunday night, Kang Qizu decided to bring Dai Xichen back to Canada for **.
Unexpectedly, only a few days later, I unexpectedly heard the news of his death, which was really sad.
Someone commented online:
He looked very cute when he first appeared as a man, but unfortunately passed away.
I wish Xichen a smooth journey!
Comber has been gone for almost a year, and we have lost another old actor, Grandpa Hazeen, may he go all the way.
Up to now, 8 actors in the crew have passed away, in addition to Xichen, including Kang Qizong (Guo Chang), Liang Bo, Zhao Chu, Mai Tai, Su Guiyuan, Kang Ershou, and Su Bo.
Guo Chang, Kang Qizong, died of illness in 2006 at the age of 50;Liang Bo passed away in 2012 at the age of 90;In 2013, Zhao Chu died of illness at the age of 68;Mai Tai died of cancer in 2016 at the age of 53Su Guiyuan died of illness in 2022 at the age of 51;Kang Ershou died of illness in 2013 at the age of 83In the same year, Suber died at the age of 76.
In addition, director Lu Xiaoguang has also passed away.
It is not difficult for everyone to find that most of these deceased actors died due to illness, the oldest is 90 years old, and most of them are quite young, which is very regrettable.
It should be emphasized that this drama carries the collective memory of Cantonese people. Although some of the old actors have passed away one after another, it still exudes vitality and new faces are constantly joining the mix. Old viewers always feel that something is missing, while new viewers think that the show is not so funny anymore.
Regardless, the show is still entertainment for some people while they are eating. Here, I hope that Grandpa Chen's family can rest assured that he is no longer sick and rests in heaven.
