Yang Zaibao passed away. What contribution did he make to our country?

Film performance artist Yang Zaibao passed away in Beijing at the age of 85. Yang Zaibao was born in Suzhou City, Anhui Province. He is a film performing artist of Shanghai Film Actors Troupe and graduated from the Performance Department of Shanghai Theater Academy. Yang Zaibao won the 32nd China Film Golden Rooster Award and the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles Lifetime Achievement Film Artist honor.

Yang Zaibao played the company commander Shi Donggen in the film "Red Sun" and embarked on the path of filmmaking. With his passionate and energetic acting skills, he vividly portrayed the image of this commander who was born as a farmer.

With his passionate and energetic performance, Yang Zaibao vividly portrayed this grassroots commander who was born as a farmer. With his bravery and fearlessness on the battlefield and his casual domineering attitude in life, he subverted the audience's impression of a "hero". The image is vivid and three-dimensional.

He also participated in the filming of "Doctor Bethune" and "The Young Generation", and was transferred to Shanghai Film Studio in 1965.

In the film "From Slave to General", Yang Zaibao plays the image of General Luo Xiao who always pursues the truth and is known as "China's "General Patton"".

He played Luo Xingang in the film "Blood is Always Hot" and won the 4th Golden Rooster Award and the 7th Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor. This character is a reformer who breaks through resistance, and Yang Zaibao's drastic performance of the character is just right.

Luo Xingang, played by Yang Zaibao, is the new director of Phoenix Silk Factory. He is not only committed to changing the situation of unsalable products, but is also a man of action who cares about the country and the people. He can not only command the overall situation, but also be good at practicing. He has a fiery heart, understands people, and is brave and confident. At first, he did not expect that such a small change as changing machine printing to hand printing would cause an uproar.

While Yang Zaibao was starring in "Blood is Always Hot" at Beijing Film Academy, his wife contracted uremia due to overwork. During the filming days, Yang Zaibao often traveled between Beijing and Shanghai. When he was notified that he was critically ill, he immediately came to his wife's bedside, washed and wiped her body, combed his wife's hair, and carefully collected all the lost hair. But what is sad is that when the film became an award-winning sensation in the film industry, his wife had already passed away.

He directed and starred in the feature film "The Acting Mayor", for which he won the Best Actor Award at the 9th Hundred Flowers Awards.

He has also acted in films such as "The Wilderness", "Xu Mao and His Daughters", and "The Club of Two Heroes".

As the double Best Actor of "Golden Rooster" and "Hundred Flowers", when he was about to go on stage to receive the award, he was already very poor. At that time, Yang Zaibao was too poor to wear clothes to accept the award on stage, so he temporarily bought a black short-sleeved T-shirt at a stall in Beitaipingzhuang next to the Beijing Film Studio for 1 yuan and 5 cents.

Yang Zaibao is also an excellent calligrapher. In 2018, on the occasion of the 65th anniversary of the Shanghai Film Actors Troupe, he wrote "Integrating the World" for the troupe.

Shanghai Theater Academy held its founding celebration meeting. In a 4-minute congratulatory video, the graduates of Shanghai Theater Academy celebrated the birthday of their alma mater Yun. When Yang Zaibao, a grade 55 student in the Department of Performance, appeared on the big screen, the audience burst into warm applause.
