On February 4, a breaking news stunned countless people.
- Former TVB actorRiver Kuo RongHe committed suicide by burning charcoal on February 2.
Who is River Glory?
Many people may not be familiar with this name.
But everyone who has seen the news will invariably say: Oh my God, that ghost!
Ha Guorong, a green leaf actor who is affectionately called a ghost guy by every TVB viewer.
Born in 1965, he is a native Australian.
Because of his love for Hong Kong culture, He Kwok Wing came to Hong Kong in the 80s of the last century.
When it comes to the experience of He Guorong, one person must be talked about, and that is Leslie Cheung.
In his third year of college, he was studying medicine at the University of New South Wales, and his name was Gregory at the time.
One day, Gregory met a Hong Kong student. Because of this opportunity, he began to meet Hong Kong pop**, and among them, Leslie Cheung's songs fascinated him the most.
In order to get close to his idol, when Leslie Cheung held a concert in Australia, Gregory also specially found a way to become Leslie Cheung's special driver in Australia.
In 1988, Gregory, who loved Hong Kong culture, resolutely went to Hong Kong to develop.
During one performance, Gregory sang Leslie Cheung's song, and his Chinese classmates added his English surname "Rivers" to Leslie Cheung's name, giving him his own Chinese name: River Kwok Wing.
Ha Kwok Young's experience of joining TVB is also very lucky.
At that time, under the introduction of a friend, Ha Guorong met TVB's Miss Zeng. Ha Guorong's performance in the interview was actually very poor, but TVB happened to need a foreign actor with such an image as Ha Guorong.
As a result, Ha Guorong became the first foreigner to sign a contract with TVB.
Since then, Ha Guorong has passed by countless TVB dramas, he has played a policeman, a lawyer, and also played various executives and **.
In "On Call", in which Ekin Cheng and Chung Ka Yan starred, he played the role of Paul Sir, the chief operations director.
In "Chasing the Murderer in Another World", in which Guo Jinan and Chen Huishan played the leading role, he played the role of a chemist.
In the star-studded "My Motherland and Me", he played the role of the chief negotiator of the British side in the chapter of Hong Kong's return to the motherland.
As a dragon actor, Ha Guorong failed to make the audience remember his name.
But as a gold medal green leaf, Ha Guorong successfully made the audience remember that face.
This is another success.
For the audience, Ha Guorong is undoubtedly a success.
But if Ha Guorong were to rate his life, he would probably only give a score of 59 - because his life is really full of too many unsatisfactory points.
He Kwok Wing came to Hong Kong in the 80s of the last century.
He has starred in many popular dramas, such as "The Legend of Deer and Ding", "Criminal Investigation Files", "Rushing to the Clouds", "Male and Female Love", "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" and many other classic Hong Kong dramas produced by TVB.
He loves Hong Kong culture and can speak fluent Cantonese, which makes his role in the play not only not abrupt, but also very close to the positioning of the character. So he starred in nearly 300 episodes in a row.
However, his role in the play is beautiful, but his life outside the play is poor.
TVB is notoriously low salary, even Zhang Weijian, Wang Mingquan and others who play the leading roles in the ministry have a lot of whispers about this, not to mention the role of He Guorong.
He Guorong's daily salary at that time was 300 yuan a day, which was not only small, but also had to be available on the premise that He Guorong could receive a job.
He Guorong complained three times for this before he got a salary increase, but even if he signed a long-term contract later, his monthly salary was still less than 10,000, which is too difficult in Hong Kong, where every inch of land is expensive.
In order to make a living, He Guorong, who is familiar with computers, once designed a computer program for sale, and he also worked as a part-time software vendor, but all of them failed without exception.
In 2007, this year's River Guorong came to run at a rare time.
He met his nobleman Chow Yun-fat while walking his dog on the street and was invited to go to Hollywood together.
There is another possibility in the life of Ha Guorong.
However, the good news is coming, and the bad news is also coming, this time with Ha Kuni Young's health problems.
In recent years, He Guorong has suffered from depression, cancer, acid reflux and other diseases.
In 2017, Ha Guorong had just removed the basal cell carcinoma malignant tumor behind his right ear and underwent two surgeries due to irregular heartbeat.
It almost broke his family.
And during this period, it was his wife who accompanied River Guorong together.
The two of them were in love with each other, supporting each other through the most difficult stage, and when life was not easy, He Guorong even set up a stall to sell his wife's handmade jewelry.
Although this attracted a lot of criticism from the outside world, He Guorong and his wife were calm.
If it goes on like this, he may be able to walk through this life in a plain but warm way.
However, a few months ago, Ha Guorong's wife died of illness.
It's as if the scaffold that was used to maintain the life of the river country and keep it stable to the last time has also collapsed.
On February 2, 2024, Ha Guorong committed suicide by burning charcoal in a village house at the age of 58.
Ha Guorong's death has sparked heated discussions among countless people.
He is the memory of a generation and the childhood of a generation.
So his sudden death was really unexpected.
There are many people who miss him, and many people have begun to beautify his passing.
Because He Guorong also chose to leave a few months after his wife's death, Ha Guorong's death became a beautiful martyrdom in their eyes.
They even used "he mocked the incompetence of death next to Eros" to praise Ha Guorong's love affair with his wife.
But with all due respect, suicide is really not worth glorifying, especially since Ha Guorong is also suffering from depression.
Instead of singing the praises of this love that goes hand in hand with life and death, I hope everyone pays more attention to it[Depression].
The Chinese have always been a nation of unremitting self-improvement, and as long as it is not a physical death, we can always continue to walk strong with the idea that "it will always get better".
This makes it easy for us to take depression lightly.
But in reality, the specific data on depression will tell us that this slightness comes at a heavy cost.
According to WHO statistics, there are about 300 million people suffering from depression in China, and more than 90 million people in China suffer from depression.
In China, about 280,000 people commit suicide each year, most of whom are diagnosed with depression.
It is true that depression does not act on the physical body, but it kills the physical body of a person by forcing the spirit of the person to death.
Depression is far more terrible than we think.
Queen Zheng Xiuwen once suffered from depression, she said: When I got up in the morning, my heart was empty and desperate, but I didn't know what to do, so I could only tremble in bed.
Rock poet Xu Wei, who also suffered from depression, said: I used to think about suicide with 10,000 thoughts every day.
These celebrities who enjoy fame and wealth are still like this, let alone ordinary people.
They drive themselves forward every day, but they are actually exhausted;
They pretend to smile every day, but in fact they don't feel a trace of happiness;
They work hard every day, but in fact they are full of confusion in their hearts.
So, please pay attention to depression.
Work is important, progress is important, hard work is important, but the most important thing is always to live well.
It's like TVB says:
The most important thing is to be happy.
At the end of the article:
I hope you are happy today, happy tomorrow, and happy every day!
