Personal experience

Wu Hanrun was an overseas Chinese who lived in the kingdom of Cambodia and later in the reign of Khmer Rouge terror. His ancestral home is Jieyang, Guangdong Province. He is of Cambodian Chinese origin, and his official occupation is doctor. Almost all the bloody years of the Khmer Rouge rule were experienced by Wu Han himself and had profound experience. In 1979, the chaos of the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia rescued him, and he escaped to Thailand. In 1980, Wu Hanrun was accepted by the United States as a refugee in Indochina. When David Putnam, a famous British producer, began to prepare for the film "the slaughter of war", he openly invited Cambodian refugees to participate in the performance. Wu Hanrun saw that his experience was similar to that of his character, so he went to apply. Wu Hanrun is not a professional actor. He has never played in a drama, but he plays a Cambodian journalist with his real experience of the war in Cambodia, and the performance is very successful. In 1985, he won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor for the film, and then the Oscar. After winning the prize, Wu did not continue his career as an actor. Soon, he returned to the Cambodian Thai border and set up a hospital to treat Cambodian refugees. On February 25, 1996, Wu Hanrun was found dead in the shed outside his residence in Chinatown, Los Angeles, with a fatal gunshot wound on his body. The suspect was Chen Deshun, a Chinese American. He was charged with first-degree murder and robbery and was sentenced to 56 years to life imprisonment. He is still in prison. After Wu Hanrun's death, his family donated a $220000 piece of land in Phnom Penh to the Cambodian Fujian guild hall to restore a Minsheng middle school for Chinese children. Minsheng middle school officially resumed classes on August 28, 1999.

Character evaluation

The last scene that Mr. Wu Hanrun left for people on the screen was that he was invited to play the role of a Chinese medicine doctor in the emotional movie "deep love to the future" starring Nicole Kidman, an American actress. This is consistent with the real career of his life. In the movie, a group of pigeons fly by in the ancient streets of the United States. On the sickbed of Dr. he's clinic, Wu Han's traditional Chinese medicine doctor sits in front of the patient's head and massages the acupoints on the head of the hero suffering from tumor. In the dark indoor light, Wu Han's calmness and calmness are similar to his role in "the slaughter of the city by war". In this few tens of seconds, Wu Hanrun's last impression is on us.
