Shi Jian
essential information
Early experience
Shi Jian was born in Panyu, Guangdong Province on January 1, 1913, but his parents died when he was young, so he was raised by his second mother. As a young man, Shi Jian was weak and ill, so he practiced martial arts to strengthen his body. During his nine-year study, he practiced Southern Shaolin boxing and mantis boxing, so he established his own Kung Fu foundation and established the acting foundation for his future acting career. When the Anti Japanese war broke out, Shi Jian, who was a student, actively participated in the strike and planned with his friends
Anti Japanese drama
, performing in both provinces and Hong Kong. In addition to acting as an actor, he is also responsible for behind the scenes work. During the period of planning drama performance with friends, I learned more about stage make-up and set lighting and so on. Since then, I have been interested in performing arts.
Acting experience
In 1940, Shi Jian, who was 27 years old at that time, became an actor because he knew how to make up. At first, Xue juexian, the late master of Cantonese opera, was known as the "omnipotent master" and worked as a makeup artist. In that year, Shi Jian officially became a film actor, playing a Japanese spy in the first spy film blood sea flower.
In 1949, Shi Jian was invited by director Hu Peng to shoot biography of Huang Feihong. He played the role of Huang Feihong's opponent in the first series of Huang Feihong's films "whipping the wind to extinguish the candle". In his first 20 years of film career, Shi Jian was mostly entrusted with the role of villain. Among them, the most classic is not only the traitor Jian in Huang Feihong, but also the tiancanjiao in the Tathagata palm and the counterpart role in Fang Shiyu. Its chilling signature evil laughter is more often imitated by many actors in later films.
In 1973, Shi Jian, who is 60 years old, was chosen to play the role of "Mr. Han" in Bruce Lee's "dragon and tiger fight". In the film, Shi Jian fully demonstrated his martial arts skills and presented the martial arts of the northern school to the audience. The confrontation with Bruce Lee was even more wonderful.
In 1975, Shi Jian was invited to work as an artist on TVB; Kung Fu fever was the first TV series he participated in. After that, he shot classic dramas such as crazy tide, the story of killing the Dragon by relying on heaven, and the eastern evil and Western poison of Shooting Heroes. In contrast to the film period, most of Shi Jian's roles in TV dramas at this time are elegant and modest, showing his true temperament; for example, long Guansan in people in the net, Su Dapeng in kinship, and grandfather in hooligan tycoon.
In the early 1980s, Shi Jian was invited to take on the advertisement of likelo mint; he successfully created the image of "treacherous people have their own tricks" for the brand, and went deep into the hearts of the people.
In 1982, he played Xiao Yuanshan in Tianlong Babu.
In 1983, he played Qiu Qianren and Qiu Qianzhang in the biography of archery heroes. In 1983, he played Ci'en (Qiu Qianren) in Liu Dehua's version of the hero.
In 1993, Shi Jian officially retired from the film industry; his last film and television work was specially made for him《

Anecdotes and allusions
A blow to Bruce Lee's teeth
Uncle Jian is a martial arts practitioner. In 1973, he co starred with the superstar Bruce Lee in the classic movie "fight for the dragon and the tiger". In the play, there was a fight between Shi Jian and Bruce Lee. Uncle Jian once said, "once I had a fight with Bruce Lee to exchange martial arts skills. Maybe he let me. He accidentally punched me in the jaw and bled his teeth. I think if I really had a fight, it would not be enough for him."
Half a century of discord between biography and Guan Dexing
In the movie world, Huang Feihong fights with Jian Jian, a traitor. Outside the movie, it is also widely spread that Shi Jian and Guan Dexing, who plays Huang Feihong, don't bite the strings. When Guan Dexing died, Shi Jian didn't go to the mourning hall. Lin Jiao, a Cantonese movie star, once revealed that Guan Dexing paid a new year's visit to Shi Jian's home. When he left, Guan Dexing said, "I wish you a guest like a cloud!" Aunt Jian was so angry that she felt that it meant that she was doing an improper job. From then on, the two families seldom returned.
According to the rumor, Shi Jian's personality is incompatible. Guan Dexing loves to worship gods, and Shi Jian loves to read books and play Kung Fu. However, Guan Dexing once praised Shi Jian: "Shi Jian can be said to be a perfect movie man, versatile in literature and martial arts!" In 1992, he even wrote an inscription to Shi Jian: "I love the audience, and I love him more than Shi Jian". But Guan was a little angry when he talked about the duel between them: "rehearsal shows the right foot, and when it's official, he gives another left foot. His feet are fast and vigorous, and his hands are swollen. So I will be prepared to add more moves from now on, to prevent him from adding weight at any time."
Iron man loves aunt Jian without scandal
Shi Jian has been in the shadow circle for half a century. He has cooperated with countless beauties, but he has never had an affair with a female star. He is devoted to his wife Li jieying, and is very affectionate. It turned out that they met each other in 1931 and married after two years of dating. But in fact, their love story was very bold at that time. They were both in free love and had different identities. It turned out that Aunt Jian was a director at that time, but Shi Jian was just an actor. It was rare that they could blossom and bear fruit in the end.
After their marriage, they have four sons and two daughters, with a full family of children and grandchildren. They have been loving each other for decades, and they often go out in pairs. Shi Jian suffered from sciatica in his later years, and his feet were not easy to move, but his aunt insisted on accompanying him. When she died of heart disease in 1998, Shi Jian was in a heavy mood and took care of everything in the mourning hall to see his wife off.
