In 1957, in a dilapidated home in Taiwan, Wan Ziliang opened his innocent eyes and came to the world. He should have been loved by his parents, but he lacked family warmth since he was a child, and had to struggle with six other siblings in poverty. When he was 7 years old, his biological parents were unable to continue after all, so they gave Wan Ziliang to the kind-hearted Wanjia to raise.
Although his life is still poor, he is grateful for the kindness of Wan Jia. Wan Ziliang was diligent and studious when he was a teenager, and after graduating from high school at the age of 17, he was admitted to university with excellent grades. However, at this turning point in his life, another change struck: his adoptive father unfortunately died. As the eldest son, he shouldered the burden of this family. In order to alleviate the burden of the three elders, Wan Ziliang resolutely gave up his studies and decided to work to support his family. In 1976, 19-year-old Wan Ziliang decided to take a desperate gamble and mustered all the courage to apply for the actor training class, hoping to change the fate of the family. Surprisingly, he successfully passed the assessment with his innate charm and body advantage.
After several years of hard training, Wan Ziliang gradually became one of the most popular actors in Hong Kong, and he was named "twin stars" as fate would have since debuted Chow Yun-fat, who debuted at the same time. In 1992, 35-year-old Wan Ziliang chose to enter the palace of marriage with Tian Niu, who had superb acting skills. The grand and luxurious wedding caused a sensation in the entire entertainment industry, and the two became a "good story" at that time. However, the good times did not last long, and after only 4 years of marriage, their relationship was like a butterfly after the autumn, and they chose to reconcile and divorce. This marriage change undoubtedly became a major turning point in Wan Ziliang's acting career. After the marriage change, he was lost for a while, but he entered the business world but lost all his money because of his lack of experience. In the end, he had no choice but to return to the entertainment industry again.
Since then, Wan Ziliang has had relationships or scandals with many actresses. Wang Luyao once believed that she was the only lover in his heart. It wasn't until 2002 that 45-year-old Wan Ziliang finally made up his mind and chose to enter the marriage hall with Guo Mingli, a flight attendant who had devoted 6 years of sincerity. After marriage, Wan Ziliang seems to have regained his happiness, and he is full of expectations to welcome the first flesh and blood in his life. However, at this moment, the wheel of fate was again ruthlessly crushed - he was diagnosed with severe diabetes, and his health deteriorated. In desperation, Wan Ziliang could only temporarily rest and serve the sick with all his might. The 80s can be said to be the peak of Wan Ziliang's acting career. At that time, his acting skills had been perfected, wearing several masterpieces, and he was nominated for the best Chinese film actor twice, and successfully promoted to the list of first-line actors in the film industry.
In that era that belonged to him, Wan Ziliang and his classmate Chow Yun-fat were called "twin stars", and the Hong Kong and Taiwan film industry was in full swing. However, like a white horse passing through a gap, the good times will not last long. Since the 90s, with the depression of the film market and the rise of TV dramas, Wan Ziliang has gradually faded out of sight, and there are fewer and fewer roles that can be filmed. It wasn't until his condition improved in recent years that he got up weakly and wanted to return to his former stage. However, the cruel reality made him feel cold - this circle, this stage, and this era that belonged to him were gone forever. In desperation, 65-year-old Wan Ziliang could only go around and accept all kinds of commercial performances. At the end of the song, his face was full of flattering professional smirks, but he couldn't hide the tears in his heart.
The "audience" in the audience just regarded him as a joke. This is really a world away from his former glory. But for the sake of loving his wife and son, Wan Ziliang could only endure the humiliation, and then endure the humiliation. Wan Ziliang has also been righteous and awe-inspiring on several occasions, generously donating to the disaster area in his hometown, with a cumulative donation of one million. But these donations are also the capital he got in exchange for being infamous and abandoning his dignity. Today, he is just a broken symbol of this circle, a reflection forgotten in the long river of history, and a joke passed down from generation to generation.
