In 2000, while filming China Orbit, Li was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Later, Li said, "At that time, I was like a fish whose internal organs were severely ground. I was worse than dead." During the anti-cancer period, Li said that the treatment was painful and expensive, and he wanted to give up. After all, the torture of illness and the high cost of treatment are unbearable for the most expensive actors.

In 2000, Lee, the most expensive actor, was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal carcinoma while filming on the China track. Li was busy filming when he received the cancer diagnosis. In order not to ruin others' efforts, he gave up the operation at once. When filming, sometimes I can't even swallow a mouthful of water, and I will vomit. In this case, as long as you feel dissatisfied, even if the director calls him, you have to start all over again, so stick to it until the last second.

This is his wish and his bottom line. He described the feeling of being sick like this: like a fish being violently thrown to the ground and breaking its internal organs, life is worse than death. The illness severely damaged his body and deeply affected his attitude towards life and performance style. After that, his body entered the old age ahead of schedule, even weaker than the average old man, and the number and weight of performances dropped sharply. For a comedian, this is undoubtedly regrettable and painful.

When he filmed 1942 with 33 film emperors in 40 years, he made no secret: if it weren't for physical reasons, I would like to compete with any actor for the role of my old club. He suffered more than that. Who would have thought that an actor of his level would be overwhelmed by medical expenses?

On the one hand, the pay of actors at that time was not comparable to that of today. For example, as the most famous actor at that time, Li earned only 1 10,000 yuan per episode in the 98 edition of Water Margin. On the other hand, for stars, they only received one advertisement in their early years, and they regretted it and never set foot in it again.

Li, who endorsed an advertisement, was criticized deeply, so he was called the most expensive actor in China-priceless. Pain and poverty-it's not that I haven't thought about giving up. It's that relatives hold his thin and desperate hand tightly in various ways and accompany him through the difficulties. Because I can't make a phone call, my cousin Tian Zhuangzhuang fell in love with the pen: We are still waiting to cooperate with you in a few more plays, and you can create several good roles for the audience; Son Li Gen was only 13 years old at that time, and he grew up before he could resist. His greatest wish is that his father can be safe.

His wife even said with open mind, "God still loves him deeply, which made him get rid of his bad living habits for many years and made him wake up when he was complacent and swollen." When he recovered, he woke up and became quieter. "Of course, it also makes his performance more full and vivid. When he saved enough strength to be the protagonist, most of his works were related to family ties.
