We ushered in the anniversary of the birth of an important historical figure in cinema - Mr. Tian Fang, one of the many classic screen images that have created us on the screen, and "Heroic Children", an excellent work of war literature and art. Mr. Tian Fang is a great performing artist with a strong sense of social responsibility and excellent acting skills, he was born in Baoding City, Hebei Province on January 3, 1911, and today happens to be his 113th birthday; Since its inception in 1964, the magnificent masterpiece "Children of Heroes" carefully created by Changchun Film Studio has been deeply portrayed in the hearts of the majority of audiences and has become an indispensable treasure in the history of Chinese film.
This film is based on the eponymous ** "Reunion" written by Mr. Ba Jin, and vividly interprets the heroic and fearless spirit of the Chinese People's Volunteers in defending the motherland during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea by depicting the distinctive characters of Wang Cheng, Wang Wenqing, Wang Fang, and Wang Fubiao. In this process, Wang Wenqing, as the director of the Military Political Department, is undoubtedly one of the core characters of the whole story, and his firm belief and decisive decision-making have added a strong historical background to this film.
"Director Wang" in the movie is a military commander who is not afraid of difficulties and dangers and is determined to dedicate himself to the cause of national defense, and he vividly presents the heroic image and lofty character of the People's Volunteers to the audience with his rock-solid faith and firm and resolute actions on the battlefield. No matter when and where, every decision and action of "Director Wang" is full of deep patriotic feelings and humanitarian spirit, making him one of the most shocking characters in the whole movie.
The person who successfully interpreted the image of "Director Wang" in the movie "Heroic Children" was the talented and respected Mr. Tian Fang. Born on January 3, 1911 in Baoding City, Hebei Province, Mr. Tian Fang was a respected film performance artist who devoted himself to the film industry early because of his love for acting during his studies at Furen University in Beiping, and successively served as an actor in many well-known film companies such as Jixing and Xinhua.
Subsequently, in order to pursue a broader stage of life, Mr. Tian Fang left the bustling international metropolis of Shanghai in 1938 and resolutely embarked on the road of the Long March, and finally arrived at Yan'an, the beautiful revolutionary holy land. Since then, he began a rigorous and serious attitude towards life, actively devoted himself to the study career of the Fourth Brigade of the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University, and was gradually promoted to the backbone member of Yan'an Lu Xun Art Academy and Lu Yi Experimental Theater Troupe. Secondly, the intense preparatory work in 1949 also included the unshirkable contribution of Mr. Tian Fang's personal work, which actively participated in the establishment of the Northeast Film Studio, the largest film studio in New China, and was honored to serve as the secretary general of Dongying.
Mr. Tian Fang is not only an excellent film actor, but also a leader in the field of drama. From 1957 to 1963, he starred in many well-known films, creating a batch of vivid artistic images, bringing an unparalleled movie-watching experience to the audience. These masterpieces include "Spring Festival Song" to celebrate the New Year, "Fang Yunying" with Fang Yunying as the protagonist, "The Legend of the Red Sheep Heroes" about pride, "Infinite Career" where the poet laments the infinite possibilities of life, "Bright Moon Night" which depicts happy reunion, "Top Gun" which reveals the magnificent rivers and mountains of the motherland, "One Day and One Night" which depicts the desert style, etc.; Of course, there are also many masterpieces such as "Chrysanthemums in the Mountains" that left a deep impression on "Director Wang" in the hearts of the audience, "Revolutionary Family" full of revolutionary emotions, and "The Wind Comes from the East" full of friendship.
Time flies, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, more than 50 years have passed since the release of "Heroes' Children", and now, Mr. Tian Fang, who once played "Director Wang", has also stepped into the other side of history. On May 30, 1984, Mr. Takata passed away from cancer at the age of 63. In Mr. Takata's limited life, he devoted himself to the film industry with all his might, and presented people with one after another outstanding performances that are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so that we will always remember this film performance artist worthy of our respect and nostalgia - Mr. Takata!
In the wonderful movie picture, the two characters of Director Wang and Wang Cheng are undoubtedly indispensable elements, and they each interpret the mission and responsibility of leading and heroic. One has the great responsibility of organizing a group, and the other is forging ahead for the glory of the nation-state. What is particularly admirable is that Director Wang and Wang Fang, the perfect CP, successfully lit up the whole film through their unparalleled friendship and indomitable revolutionary faith.
Thinking back to the "Children of Heroes" back then, the relationship between Director Wang and Wang Fang is by no means just an ordinary family relationship, but a symbol of a powerful spiritual sustenance and solid backing. In the surging revolutionary wave, they relied on each other and moved forward hand in hand. This deep and long father-daughter relationship has strengthened their confidence and marched towards the great journey of revolutionary victory together, and at the same time, it has also vividly demonstrated the kindest and most beautiful side of mankind.
So, dear readers, do you know Mr. Takata's wife? Ms. Yu Lan, a famous performing artist, is Mr. Tian Fang's wife.
It is said that in the distant Yan'an period, under the mediation of Mr. Xiong Saisheng, a well-known professor of the college, Mr. Tian Fang was fortunate to meet Ms. Yu Lan and fell in love with each other. In the cold winter of 1940, 29-year-old Tian Fang and 19-year-old Yu Lan tied the knot.
In the days after marriage, Tian Fang and Yu Lan supported each other and worked together to pursue progress. Their hard work has also borne fruitful fruits, and three lovely boys have been born one after another, the third of which is Tian Zhuangzhuang, a director who has shocked the global film industry. The couple have achieved brilliant results in their artistic careers, and the film actors they have cultivated together have also shined in the Chinese film industry.
Unfortunately, not long after the release of "Children of Heroes", Mr. Tian Fang suffered an unjustified injustice and was forced to leave his job and stay at home, feeling depressed and depressed in his heart. However, on that day in 1974, the film giant, who had just turned 63, was diagnosed with advanced bile duct cancer, and the disease was lightning fast. On August 27, 1974, Mr. Takata left this world forever after his short life. For us, his death was too sudden, and the ruthlessness of the years was heart-wrenching. At that time, his wife, Ms. Yu Lan, was only 53 years old. Although others actively encouraged her to choose a life partner again, the deep love made her resist all ** and resolutely rejected any proposal to remarry. Finally, on June 27, 2020, at the age of 99, Ms. Yu Lan went to pursue her husband, Mr. Tian Fang, and the two went to heaven together to continue that unforgettable love journey.
