In 2005, when the TV series "Fugui" was broadcast, many families burst into tears around the TV.

This drama is adapted from Yu Hua's novel "To Live", which tells the story of "Fugui, the son of a landlord, lost all his family wealth, watched his relatives die one after another, and finally lived alone and tenaciously."

The tragic story aroused people's passion, and the actors' unpretentious performances were also very contagious. It is still a classic today.

To put it into perspective, it has been 17 years since "Fugui" was broadcast. What happened to the actors in the show?

1. Chen Chuang plays Fugui

Fugui is the old son of the landlord Mr. Xu, so he is spoiled, arrogant, and uneducated. When he was young, Mr. Xu lost half of his family property. He hoped that Fugui could live up to his expectations, learn to manage tenants, and protect the family business.
