Why did Lin Ching-ying call Sammo Hung before his death in 1997: Don’t let anyone see my body?
Speaking of zombie movies, everyone must think of Lin Ching-ying. His status in this kind of film cannot be shaken. Lin Ching-ying has brought us the classic image of martial arts. One after another classic movies have left a deep impression on us. .
Why did Lin Ching-ying call Sammo Hung before his death in 1997: Don’t let anyone see my body? I think it's probably because Lin Zhengying felt that she was a star after all and wanted to leave a good image in the world, so she said this. Lam Ching-ying
In the heyday of Hong Kong movies, Lam Ching-ying's image of "Uncle Nine" became popular across the mainland. His zombie-themed movies were scary and funny, making people's nerves tense and relaxed.
The zombie movies he starred in can be called childhood nightmares, but they are also classics among classics. Just 23 years ago, Lin Zhengying passed away from this world due to illness, but the magical world he created will always remain in the hearts of the audience.
Lin Ching-ying, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Wah, Yuen Qiu, and Yuen Biao were all classmates who studied together. Because of her poor family background, Lin Zhengying dropped out of elementary school after the second grade to join a Peking Opera troupe.
A chance encounter brought him into contact with the film industry. Since he studied Peking Opera, he was in good shape, so he chose to join the film and television industry, starting as a stuntman.
Lin Ching-ying is a very hard-working person. Although he is a stuntman, he never misses any opportunity to learn. At that time, Hong Kong martial arts movies were popular, and Lin Ching-ying would practice martial arts alone when he found an opportunity.
In 1971, he changed from a stuntman to a martial arts instructor. He also met the noble Bruce Lee, and he finally got the opportunity to be a supporting role. The two collaborated on many movies back then. Bruce Lee was already a kung fu star, so Lin Ching-ying also became popular. However, after Bruce Lee passed away, Lin Ching-ying also lost his direction again and again.
Sammo Hung, who was in the same school at that time, saw Lin Zhengying's talent and recruited Lin Zhengying to the "Hong Family Class". This also became an important turning point for him. Maybe Lin Zhengying didn't expect that he would later start a "zombie movie" craze and become the "ghost exorcist" in everyone's mind.
In 1985, "Mr. Zombie" was released, breaking the box office of 20 million for the same type of film for the first time. This film became popular throughout Southeast Asia as soon as it was released, and his image became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In films such as "Zombie Family", "Mr. Phantom" and "One Eyebrow Taoist", Lin Zhengying used the same image to slay demons in various zombie films. Later, many directors also imitated the filming, but the classic It can never be surpassed.
Lin Zhengying gained a lot of popularity, but also gained an imperfect relationship. During a zombie movie shooting, she and actress Yuan Qiongdan developed a crush on each other. Although there was a few years age difference between the two, Yuan Qiongdan, who had an outgoing personality, didn't care.
At that time, the relationship between the two parties had reached the point where they could talk about marriage, but Lin Zhengying suddenly said that he wanted to break up. Why? It turned out that Lin Zhengying was diagnosed with liver cancer, which was still in the advanced stage. In order not to drag his girlfriend down, he could only use this method to make her leave her.
At that time, Lin Zhengying was addicted to alcohol and had no regular rest time all year round, which caused endocrine disorders in his body and developed into cancer under long-term care. A phone call
On November 5, 1997, Sammo Hung received a call from Lin Zhengying. At this time, he was already on his deathbed: "Don't let everyone see my body."
Lin Zhengying told this sentence to Sammo Hung, and also said that his funeral should be held in a Taoist manner. During his illness, he did not accept anyone's visit, but only left such a sentence.
In the end, he failed to fight cancer and passed away. According to his wish during his lifetime, the funeral was simple and Taoist. But who knew that the agency took it upon himself to have a Buddhist funeral, and the funeral hall was very strangely arranged? . It is said that many black butterflies flew at the funeral scene, but I don’t know whether it is true or not.
On the day of the funeral, Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, Ti Lung and others carried the coffin. Yuan Qiongdan also appeared at Lin Zhengying's memorial service, appearing as the official wife. It can be seen that she was very sad, and Sammo Hung also hugged her and cried.
Lin Zhengying's life ended in this way. Although there is no "Nine Uncle" in the world, "Nine Uncle" will always live in the hearts of the audience and will be remembered forever. Conclusion
One night in 1997, a few nights before his death, he made a phone call to Sammo Hung. On the phone, he said to him in his weak voice: Come to the hospital. The phone call also narrated something, that is, Lin Zhengying said that he would not let others see his body.
So Sammo Hung hurried to the hospital. When he arrived at the hospital, he saw his good brother and instantly understood the reason why he refused to see everyone. Because of the long-term pain and suffering, Lin Zhengying's face was already miserable. .
It’s not that I don’t want to see her, but I’m afraid that my appearance will scare others, so I can only hide my thoughts in my stomach.
