The 85-year-old actor has been in film for 75 years and won three lifetime achievement awards. Now he lives alone in a nursing home

Recently, a variety show "Our Master" with Da Zhang Wei, Yu Xiaoguang, Dong Sicheng and Liu Yuning as the main guests was launched. The main purpose was to let these four young men visit some veterans with both moral integrity and political integrity. In the first episode, Teacher Niu Ben, who has an ever-lasting acting skills, participated. Many viewers don't know him. In fact, Niu Ben is a child star. He has been acting in the entertainment industry for 75 years and has won three lifetime achievement awards.

Niu Ben, formerly known as Zhang Xuejing, was born in Tianjin in 1935 and ranks sixth among his brothers and sisters. Niu Ben lost his parents at the age of 6, so he lived with his brother, who worked as a driver in a film factory. When Niu Ben was a child, he was smart and diligent, and often helped actors run errands.

In 1946, the anti-Japanese film "The Holy City" needed a young actor to play a village boy. Xie Tian, who played Father Jin in the film, recommended 11-year-old Niu Ben to the director. From then on, Niu Ben and the entertainment industry formed an indissoluble bond. In 1948, when he was selected to shoot a movie in Hong Kong, his master Xie Tian said: "Now everyone calls you Xiaowu, and you are born in the year of the Ox, so add three more oxen!" From then on, the name "Niu Ben" became his stage name.

After entering the entertainment industry, Niu Ben starred in hundreds of movies, television dramas and movies, large and small. In the movie "Horseman", Niu Ben won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 3rd China Film Golden Rooster Award in 1983 and the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 6th Volkswagen Hundred Flowers Award for his role as Guo Zi. In his years of acting career, he has won three lifetime achievement awards from major film festivals.

Xiao 8 thinks Niu Ben is really admirable. In the movie "Seagull Old Man," the 80-year-old Niu Ben teacher was revealed by the director to insist on not performing the lake jump when filming. An 80-year-old white-haired old man has high requirements for his acting skills, which really makes those actors in the entertainment industry who are stingy with pictures, do not memorize words and find various substitute actors ashamed.

In "Our Master" variety show, Niu Ben also expressed dissatisfaction with some actors in the entertainment industry who didn't perform well, but brought several assistants to enjoy the bad phenomenon of the crew life. It was better to pay attention to acting skills than to show off. I hope all actors learn from their elders.

At the beginning of the program, when Da Zhang Wei and other guests learned that Niu Ben lived alone in a nursing home, they were very surprised. After all, in the eyes of China, the elderly should support the elderly with their children. However, when they saw Teacher Niu Ben's life in the nursing home, they changed their minds. It seemed that Teacher Niu Ben's life in the nursing home was very colorful and happy.

In the nursing home, Teacher Niu Ben lives in a room and living room. The room is warmly decorated, with sufficient light and smooth ventilation. He also jokingly called his home a "pigsty". As the saying goes, a gold nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own dog nest. It can be seen that Teacher Niu Ben is still very satisfied with his living conditions.

Moreover, in the nursing home, there are various activity rooms, such as a billiard room, a gym, a study area, all recreational facilities, and doctors to assist.

The meals in the canteen of the nursing home also seem to be nutritionally balanced and diverse, which can meet the needs of different elderly people. For example, elderly people on birthdays can have longevity noodles. If they want to add vegetables to another stove, they can also discuss with the kitchen. Teacher Niu Ben also earnestly told several young people that food should not be wasted and that they should take action on CD-ROM.

After dinner, Teacher Niu Ben and several guests sang songs with their friends and did some light exercise to relieve digestion. After all, when you are old, you have to be careful when exercising to avoid sprain yourself, which will not outweigh the gain. Xiao 8 thought that Teacher Niu was really cute.

In the evening, when several guests gathered with Teacher Niu Ben to make dumplings, the young men raised their own confusion to the old man one after another. Is the old man satisfied with his enjoyment of elderly care? Why choose a nursing home? The old man said that living in his own home was not as comfortable as living in a nursing home. First, if he was at home, he would have to solve his own food problems and go out to buy groceries and cook.

One guest asked, why not hire a nanny to take care of yourself at home? Teacher Niu Ben said that nannies are too mobile and often do not work long. Every time a new nanny is replaced, she has to start over with daily life, which is very troublesome. In the end, Yu Xiaoguang said that every functional area in the nursing home has special personnel to take care of, which is convenient and saves trouble, saving the elderly the trouble of communication.

It seems that life in a nursing home is not as bleak as the general public imagined. Just by looking at Teacher Niu Ben's mental outlook, you can feel that he is very happy and happy in the nursing home. With friends around you, professional caregivers taking care of you, and your own small independent space, this kind of old life is also very happy and happy.

The mental outlook displayed by Mr. Niu Ben on the program makes people feel energetic and full of happiness. He does not become negative and depressed because he lives in a nursing home alone with an old friend. He used his own personal experience to tell us "children" that people must know how to please themselves and constantly create value in life, so that no matter what time, they can maintain a happy life.
