Yuen San Wong's life after becoming a monk

In the 198s, Yuen San Wong, the actor of the TV series Huo Yuanjia, was the best and earliest image spokesperson of China Kung Fu. His reputation resounded all over China, and he was famous at home and abroad. Now, where does Yuen San Wong, who retired from film and television, live? On September 1th, 24, the author interviewed Yuen San Wong. After playing Huo Yuanjia, he became a monk

People born in the late 197s mentioned Yuen San Wong, the star of the TV series Huo Yuanjia. Yuen San Wong's radiant and handsome man image once appeared on the walls of thousands of families and became the idol of countless fans at home and abroad. His image appeared on the clothes of countless fans. In the mid-198s, the TV series "Huo Yuanjia" swept the country and became a household name.

However, after nearly 2 years, where is Yuen San Wong, a former star who has faded away from people's minds and memories? In the golden autumn of October, 24, the fragrance of osmanthus fragrans was fragrant, and a distinguished guest was welcomed in the * * * Hotel in Jing 'an County, Jiangxi Province. He was the once famous "Huo Yuanjia" actor who came all the way from Baolin Temple in Lantau Island, Hong Kong. His common name was Yuen San Wong, and now he is a monk of Master Yan Shen. For such a well-known figure who is famous at home and abroad, the author read the news report of his becoming a monk in the newspaper seven years ago. What prompted him to become a monk? Times have changed, and what about his situation? The author interviewed this well-known figure in Jing 'an County, Jiangxi Province.

In the VIP room of Jing 'an County Hotel, Jiangxi Province, the author met this once admirable film star. Compared with the screen, Yuen San Wong in front of him is slightly thinner, dressed in an apricot cassock, wrapped in a gray cloth around his calf, and a pair of black cloth shoes. His hair and beard are shaved very clean, his face is clearly defined, his face is red, his eyes are bright, and he gives the impression that he is full of energy and solemn.

According to the abbot Yicheng, the president of the Chinese Buddhist Association and the abbot of Yunjushan Shinnyoji, who accompanied him, Master Yan Shen started from Hong Kong and passed through Putuo Mountain and Jiuhuashan Mountain. When he heard that the Baofeng Temple in Jing 'an, Jiangxi Province had been restored, he was filled with Buddha's heart, so he led a group of seven monks to worship the family in Jing 'an to find their roots and see the specific situation of the construction of Baofeng Temple.

? Yuen San Wong, 56, is a native of Sichuan. He was born in a scholarly family in Shanghai in 1948 and went to Hong Kong with his parents the following year. When I was young, my family was poor. At the age of twelve, I learned martial arts from a teacher. Because of my hard work and cleverness, I developed a perfect martial arts. Yuen San Wong didn't want to be an actor since he was a child. At that time, there were few kung fu films broadcast on film and television, but Huang Yuanjia was persistent in pursuing martial arts, striving for perfection and practicing perfection. By chance, his brother signed up for him as an actor. In the first audition of Kung Fu film Hungry Tiger and Wild Dragon, Yuen San Wong gave full play to it, which was highly praised by the director. Because of his strong martial arts and excellent performance, it was an instant success, and since then, there have been many films. In the 197s, Hong Kong's film industry entered a period of depression, but television flourished. After suffering, he changed to TV. After the TV film CDW was broadcast in Hong Kong, his reputation was greatly shocked and he became famous in one fell swoop. In 1985, the martial arts film "Huo Yuanjia" was first broadcast on China Central Television, and immediately became the highest-rated literary program in China. The name of "Yuen San Wong" and the image of "Huo Yuanjia" became household names and became the focus of attention of hundreds of millions of viewers. In fact, he thought that Jiang Xiaoyu, who starred in "A Double Pride", was his most satisfied, so he won the gold medal of American TV program in one fell swoop, and the ratings in Hong Kong were the highest at that time. After that, he made several TV series, which were not ideal. After contact with Buddhism, I moved to convert to Buddhism. In 1919, he left his wife and children and went to Baolin Temple to have his hair cut as a monk. The former "wife" supported and understood his becoming a monk, and now two children are raised by her, and the older one is 23 years old. After becoming a monk, his wife visited him in the temple many times, but Yuen San Wong never met again. I heard that Yuen San Wong's wife still hasn't remarried. In 1992, Master Yanshen asked one of his friends (laymen) in America to visit his son. In 1993, during the school summer vacation, his eldest son Huang Jiliang found Baofeng Temple to visit him.

? Feeling comfortable after becoming a monk

Why did Yuen San Wong become a monk? He said it was "hearing about Buddhism" and it was predestined. In the past, when filming, many questions were unclear in his mind, and many life problems could not be answered in the book. After contact with Buddhism, he felt that many problems could be explained and accommodated. In the past, when filming in his spare time, like filming the TV series Huo Yuanjia, he finished filming in two months. He likes to brag with his colleagues and people call him Bao Jiaoxiao. Yuen San Wong is a man who never stops learning. He is always dissatisfied with what he has learned. He likes reading books, and there are books all over the room. He likes calligraphy and practices good handwriting, but he always says that his calligraphy is not well practiced. Yuen San Wong is foolish in his wisdom about life. When I asked him how his past filming compared with his present life, he smiled and said, "There is no difference. Life is acting. In the past, I played characters in film and television dramas, but now I play monks in Baolin Temple.

Yuen San Wong doesn't value money and fame. He goes on to say, "I have a young actor who is more famous and has more property than me, but one day he accidentally drove into a pole and died. If I don't believe in Buddhism like him, what can I get if I die and can't take anything away?" I used to be famous. I am rich. I can often go out to pubs and play karaoke with my friends. I look happy, but I have a lot of troubles in my heart. Being rich is not necessarily happy; No money, like I am penniless now, I still feel comfortable. I have this feeling that my life is colorful now, of course, this is understood from the mood and spirit. I used to live really hard, thinking about the role, the plot, the fame and fortune, etc., which made people exhausted. Although there are troubles now, this aspect has long since disappeared, and I feel very relaxed.

Yuen San Wong's living habits used to be very special. He especially likes to eat meat, and he likes to eat raw meat, like beef. He doesn't eat it raw. His colleagues call him a "meat eater". He always thinks that he has to eat more meat to practice martial arts. But later, a layman persuaded him to be a vegetarian. Shaolin Temple's martial arts are first-class in China, where monks don't eat meat. After listening to what the layman said, he thought it was reasonable. Later, the lay man gave her a book that introduced Buddhist scriptures. He read it carefully and thought about it for a month. Slowly, he got some understanding of Buddhism. It was then that he had the idea of becoming a monk.

? After hard work and achievement

becoming a monk, Yuen San Wong was named Yanshen. He gave up alcohol, tobacco and meat, only ate two meals a day, and didn't eat from noon to the next morning.

Master Yan Shen is now working as a handyman in Baolin Temple. He does whatever he wants. Every day, he gets up at 3: 3, has morning classes at 4: , eats breakfast at 5: , recites sutras for more than an hour at 7: , and then raises flowers in various vegetables in the temple. Now he eats by himself. Over the years, he stopped practicing martial arts and practiced meditation. He said with deep experience: meditation is more important than practicing martial arts. His biggest feeling is that his body is much better than before. He doesn't know what it is like to suffer from insomnia before, and he often feels that he doesn't have enough sleep. In the past, it took more than 4 minutes to go to Baolin Temple, but now it takes only half the time, he said. These are all the results of "vegetarianism" and meditation.

After Yuen San Wong became a monk, many friends in the performing arts advised him to return to the performing arts. Many directors still asked him to make a film, but his determination to become a monk was made, and no one could change him.

Now Yuen San Wong doesn't think about the past any more. He says that thinking about the past will only increase his troubles, and it doesn't make any sense to him now. He is generous and optimistic. He is very enthusiastic about religious undertakings. During his few days in Jing 'an, when he saw that the working and living conditions in Baofeng Temple were still very difficult, he immediately offered to help the construction of Baofeng Temple. Soon, he returned to Baolin Temple and donated a large sum of money and a car to Baofeng Temple. He said: "Things change, and the pursuit of career can't last forever. Because ordinary things are often the result of a good beginning and a sad beginning. People's sadness lies in being too persistent.

Yuen San Wong is far-sighted about the philosophy of life, religion and science. He is well-informed, and from time to time, he reveals the tranquillity of the world and sees through the lofty world of mortals.

When I was leaving, I asked him to sign a message, and he happily wrote: "Let it be" in the interview book. Yes, if one can live with it in any difficult and difficult environment, perhaps this is the highest state of one's cultivation.
