Benchang You, a late bloomer, became a monk twice because of his role in The Fire of Jigong. What is the reason behind it?

"The shoes are broken, the hat is broken and the cassock is broken. You laugh at me, he laughs at me, and a fan is broken. There is no Amitabha in the south, no Amitabha in the south, and no Amitabha in the south. Hey, hey, hey, hey ... "After hearing this classic TV song, I believe that the post-70s, post-80s and even post-90s will be familiar. This song is too early and classic, so that the familiar melody comes, and the "newspaper hat" and the crazy old man in the cassock appear before our eyes. Yes, he is the most classic Jigong, growing up with a generation.

Benchang You became a monk for the first time.

Benchang You was born in a turbulent era, and his birth brought new hope to his parents. Benchang You's parents are ordinary people, working people who are willing to work hard for a meal in troubled times. At that time, there were six children in the family. He was an only child, so his parents spoiled him since he was a child. However, when Benchang You was six years old, a fortune teller came to the door and asked for something to eat.

Benchang You's mother is very kind, so she gave the fortune teller a bowl of rice. However, the fortune teller glanced at Benchang You and said, "There is a bullet in this son's life, and he must not live to be 13 years old." I believe that no parent wants to hear someone say such things to their children. After all, parents want their children to be healthy. So when Benchang You was six years old, his parents sent him to the Fazang Temple in Shanghai, where he worshipped Master Xing Ci as a teacher and took part in the training with his name.

/kloc-when I was 0/3 years old in the temple, there was no accident and I stayed at home for two years. Since his birth, there has been a statue of Jigong in their family, which he often worships, hoping that he will be as kind as Jigong. Later, Benchang You's life seemed to hang up. He is plain-looking. After graduating from high school, he joined the Nanjing Art Troupe and was recommended to study acting in Shanghai Theatre Academy. After graduation, he was assigned to the Central Theatre and became a professional actor.

Because I played Jigong fire.

I don't know whether I should be a late bloomer or whether the role of Jigong has been waiting for him. Jigong, just like tailor-made for Benchang You, became an unparalleled classic once it was released. Unlike other bodhisattvas, Jigong monks don't need to burn incense and bow down, begging for his blessing. He chose to share weal and woe with the world, and he would not become a Buddha without it. Benchang You said: Being able to play the role of Jigong is a kind of karma, a blessing and a touch.

Today, Benchang You is a Buddhist, over 80 years old, and his body is still strong. Looking back on Benchang You's life, he really experienced too many things. Like "Jigong", he lived frankly and sincerely. In laughing and cursing, you are as smart as a fool, not vulgar, especially immortal.

On acting, almost no one can compare, "half a face cries and half a face laughs;" The performance of "half drunk and half awake" is simply amazing and is regarded as a "national treasure performance artist".

The reason for becoming a monk for the second time

What is puzzling is why Benchang You chose to become a monk after playing Jigong. In an interview, Benchang You explained the reason. It turns out that three strange things happened when he was filming Machinist in Benchang You.

First of all, it should be a rainy scene. It was clear in Wan Li and cloudless in Wan Li that day, but just as we were about to call it a day, it rained heavily. The second time, just the opposite.

The third thing is even more amazing. At this time, Ben often saw a butterfly and fanned it to fly. Unexpectedly, the butterfly seems to understand. A singer lied and fell directly on the fans. These three coincidences made Benchang You feel that he might really have something to do with Buddhism, so he decided to become a monk.
