There has always been a rumor in the society that his wife is Xu Di, a mainland drama bone, and the two have played husband and wife roles in "Sister Bride" and "Beauty Apartment", so there has always been a misunderstanding that they are a real couple.
Xu Di made it clear in the variety show that her husband's surname is Yu and he is her classmate, and both of them were each other's first lovers.
At present, Li Youlin is still carrying out his career in Chinese mainland, and in recent years, he has not participated in many film and television works, and has basically entered the stage of semi-retirement.

I still vividly remember that when I was young, every night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I would wait until I enjoyed Zhao Benshan's wonderful sketches before setting off firecrackers and tasting dumplings, and the atmosphere of the New Year was really strong.
Zhao Benshan, 66 years old, has faded out of the Spring Festival Gala stage for many years.

Now 55-year-old Na Ying is still active in the entertainment industry and often meets her in various variety shows. Because of her comments on Daolang in her early years, her interpersonal relationship in her later years was not good, so she received a lot of criticism.
In addition to Zhao Benshan and Na Ying, mainland actor Lu Liping played the role of a widow in the second work, with relatively few scenes. Currently, Lu Liping and her remarried husband, Sun Haiying, are living in the United States.
