Veteran actors made collective appearances at tourist attractions across various locations during the National Day holiday. Luo Jiayin appeared at Hangzhou Songcheng, cosplaying as Tang Monk to recreate his classic character from "A Chinese Odyssey." The 79-year-old Luo Jiayin appeared to be in good spirits, cooperatively making peace signs when tourists called out "Master."
According to public records, Luo Jiayin, originally named Luo Xingtang, was born on September 22, 1946, with ancestral roots in Guangdong Shunde. He is a Cantonese opera performing artist and a renowned TVB supporting actor. Luo Jiayin became well-known to audiences through his performances in "From Beijing with Love" in 1994 and "A Chinese Odyssey" in 1995. In 1987, as a Cantonese opera performer, he invited Liza Wang to collaborate on "Mu Guiying Defeats Hongzhou," and this successful partnership led to their romantic relationship. They eventually married in 2009, and both have battled cancer, supporting and encouraging each other throughout their journey.
Beyond Luo Jiayin, during the National Day extended holiday, tourists in Shanghai, Guangdong, and other locations successively encountered veteran actors including Yue Yueli, Zheng Guolin, and Li Guolin at various scenic spots. These veteran actors appeared to be in excellent condition, with their enthusiastic interactions prompting young netizens to exclaim "They're in better shape than I am!"
Previously, Zheng Guolin mentioned to reporters that he is currently working in cultural tourism, stating "I arrange my time reasonably to do what I love." He laughingly remarked that working at scenic spots fulfills a childhood dream: "I've always wanted to be the protagonist in an amusement park since I was young."
Facing sharp online criticism questioning "Are you working at scenic spots instead of acting because you're short on money?" Zheng Guolin responded that working with his abilities is perfectly fine. "Actors are ordinary people too, and I also need to support my family. Moreover, this is a job that brings happiness. It's not about lacking money or not - we're realizing our value now, shouldn't we work hard?"
Zheng Guolin, formerly known as Zheng Ruixiao and Zheng Yilin, was born in Shanghai in 1976 and graduated from Shanghai Yindu Artist Training School. He is an actor and producer. In 1994, Zheng Guolin was admitted to TVB's artist training program in Hong Kong to study acting. Two years later, he returned to Shanghai and participated in the TV series "Young Hero Fang Shiyu," officially beginning his career. After the series aired in 2000, his popularity and recognition increased significantly, leading to continuous acting opportunities. In 2009, his performance as Li Shimin in the historical drama "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties" helped him stand out among the main cast during the show's second broadcast run.
