Life figures

Hou huanling began to work as a teenager and was forced to stop because of gallstones when she was in her sixties. In her spare time, she went to the old people's center to listen to Cantonese opera. By chance, she met a "Lin Ji a tou". When the foreman saw her sprightly and lively, he introduced her to be an extra.

As a result, Hou huanling entered the entertainment industry at the age of 67. Because of his witty and lively personality, he successfully performed in the interview under the recommendation of the other party. The first work with dialogue gathered a lot of celebrities, that is, Chow Yun fat and Zeng Jiang starred in "two men in blood"; he first cooperated with Stephen Chow in "the judge of death", and then guest starred in "the king of destruction" to help his grandson buy tickets for Zhang Xueyou's concert; he played Lord Hong in "the king of comedy" The most classic is the immortal grandmother who seeks revenge for her son and daughter-in-law on TV in the night of reminiscence. Other works include the classic Hong Kong films such as "Li Gu Li Gu new year's fortune", "I see a ghost in my left eye" and "nerve hero".

Later another foreman introduced her and sent her photos to a company called "Linji" for an interview, saying that she would have a higher income as a special actor. In the case of knowing nothing, Hou huanling sent out the photos. She said with a smile: "fortunately, no one, er, grandma! Soon I got a call calling me to make a special appointment. I didn't even know what a special appointment was. It turned out that there was a pair of Bai Nian in the special appointment. "

Hou huanling cooperated with Zheng Shaoqiu in her first production as a special actor. She was only responsible for drying vegetables and clothes, but still didn't have to read dialogue. The first film with a pair of Bai Nian is "two men in the throes of blood", which plays against Chow Yun fat, Zeng Jiang and Li Xiu Xian. She said with a smile, "Zeng Jiangzhong praised me for reading Bai well! "Since then, more and more people have identified with her, and many directors have named her to participate in the performance.

Hou huanling stressed that many directors treat her very well and care about her. Diligence and "doing enough" are believed to be one of the reasons why Hou huanling is loved by many famous directors. Hou huanling said that she never spoke bitterly. She said: "do you want to suck the pig's head bone or not? Do you want to eat the fat pork? When filming, you will try your best to think about the director's requirements with your own brain." The most impressive and unforgettable time for her was when she filmed Joey Yung pushing a cart on the ramp in the movie "the nervous Knight", from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at that time, she didn't complain, but then she fell ill for a week. After 20 years in the entertainment industry, Hou huanling pointed out that "acting" is the longest one of her many professions. Hou huanling plays the charterer of the movie "the back seat on the sixth floor". Director Huang Zhenzhen has already made a sequel with her earlier. She will play a leading role with a group of young actors. With years of efforts, Hou huanling has not only become a leading actress in the film industry, but also known as "Oriental grandmother" and "Zhou Xingchi's Royal grandmother". She is proud of both titles.

Hou huanling, who is 94 years old, has never been married because her parents died one after another after returning to work in her hometown at the age of 20, and her 10 brothers and sisters left to earn a living. At that time, she took her 9-year-old brother to live in Hong Kong and decided not to marry for life. She wanted to bear the responsibility of raising her brother.

In 2013, 91 year old Hou huanling starred in the last film "the enchanted night of Li Bihua's ghost series". In 2016, she made a short comeback and was invited to shoot VR ads.

In the early hours of February 19, 2018, Hou huanling died at the age of 95.
