At the 2015 Beijing International Fashion Week, an old man with silver and white beard walked onto the runway naked.
The old man is strong and upright, and he is as energetic as a twenty-year-old man. The
11-second video immediately attracted everyone's attention as soon as it was posted to the Internet.
This old man is named Wang Shunde. He was originally an unknown old man from the countryside, but he was attracted by fashion designers and embarked on the road of modeling.
This 80-year-old man is not an ordinary person. His life experience is really exciting.
Wang Deshun
936, Wang Deshun was born in a farmer's house in Shenyang. At that time, the world was turbulent. The newborn Wang Deshun also lived a life of hiding and terrifyingly hiding with his family. It was not until New China was founded by that their family ushered in a good life.
After the founding of New China, Wang Deshun's parents became an ordinary worker, and Wang Deshun grew up healthily like other children.
When he was young, Wang Deshun was very lively and active, and he was interested in many things.
In the past, there was a big pit near his home that was more than one person tall. In summer, when the rain was abundant, the pit was filled with rain, so he jumped into the pit to learn to swim.
In winter, water turns into ice, so Wang Deshun has to find a way to skate. If his family can't afford ice skates, he will make it himself, wrap a piece of wood with iron wire, and then put it on. This is Wang Deshun's ice skates.

Wang Deshun had no ideals at the beginning, so he simply went to the tram company to work as a ticket seller. The ticket seller's salary was not high. In order to have a better salary, he found a way to enter the military factory as a worker.
During his days in the military factory, it was Wang Deshun's first contact with art.
When in the military factory, Wang Deshun often saw free condolence performances. Dancers dancing on the stage and emotional stage actors were deeply embedded in Wang Deshun's heart.
He began to yearn for artistic performance.
At that time, workers could study in the Cultural Palace for free. Wang Deshun, who was infected by the performance troupe, became very interested in acting. He signed up for drama, dance and other interest classes in the Shenyang Cultural Palace.
The world of art made him feel free and relaxed, and he fell in love with drama performances almost obsessedly.
Not long after, Wang Deshun did something that seemed so incomprehensible at the time. quit his job as a worker and went to work at the Shenyang Military Region Drama Troupe.

In 1960, Wang Deshun, with a tough and handsome appearance, successfully joined the drama troupe. With his outstanding appearance, he had just joined the troupe and took on the role of his male lead, which also attracted the attention of many young female soldiers, including Zhao Aijuan.
Zhao Aijuan is 8 years younger than Wang Deshun. Like other girls, Zhao Aijuan is moved by the handsome Wang Deshun.
But she is introverted and shy, and she only dares to look at Wang Deshun from a distance, but she doesn't know that the "dream lover" in the hearts of countless girls has long included her figure in her heart.
1966, Wang Deshun was accidentally injured at work and had a broken finger. Wang Deshun, who lived in the ward, looked at the white ceiling and missed Zhao Aijuan.
Just like telepathy, Zhao Aijuan appeared at the door of the ward.
Wang Deshun and Zhao Aijuan
The two young people could no longer suppress their admiration for each other and naturally got together.
Two years later they entered the palace of marriage.
After a year of marriage, Zhao Aijuan gave birth to a girl, and a few years later gave birth to another boy.
Just like that, the family lives together in harmony. Although it is not a wealthy life, it is also very warm and harmonious.
In 1974, Wang Deshun and his wife were transferred to Changchun Theater to act. This is almost a time for Wang Deshun. For strangers and strange theater troupes, everything must be learned from the new level.

70s, my country once set off a craze for dramas, and young and old liked to watch dramas, so dramas sprung like bamboo shoots after a rain.
Wang Deshun has several scenes to perform every day. This scene has just finished playing the warrior on the battlefield, and the next scene will be taken off his military uniform and play a gentle scholar.
Under such high-intensity rush, Wang Deshun was also exhausted and lost.
But Wang Deshun is immersed in the ocean of performance. He loves performance deeply and carefully experiences the joys, sorrows, and joys of the characters.
Because he was too immersed in the role, in 1979, he fell seriously ill.
Wang Deshun
Wang Deshun at that time was going to perform an emotional speech. The original design was that the actor fainted on the podium after the speech, but no one expected that Wang Deshun really fainted after a fierce outbreak.
Colleagues quickly helped Wang Deshun up and let him take a break.
But every time after that, Wang Deshun fainted when he played this, and even when he saw others acting, he was excited to faint.
Wang Deshun realized that he was really sick. He went to see a doctor and was diagnosed with "autoneurotic disorder".
The doctor warned Wang Deshun at that time that this disease is one step away from mental illness, and if he continues to act like this, he will really go crazy.
Helplessly, Wang Deshun had to leave his favorite stage.

But when the whole family was using money at that time, Zhao Aijuan was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama Drama and her eldest daughter was admitted to the Central Academy of Music .
There are places where money is used everywhere. In order to make money, Wang Deshun went to the Academy of Fine Arts to work as a model.
Since you want to be a model, you must make your figure better. So Wang Deshun began to exercise and shaping his temperament. With his unremitting efforts, he developed a beautiful body of muscles.
Wang Deshun
1986, this year, Wang Deshun first came into contact with pantomime . He was shocked by the powerful force bursting out of pantomime, and he quickly fell in love with this form of performance.
He has watched all the famous pantomime performances at home and abroad, and created scripts with his wife.
The script "Life" is Wang Deshun's most satisfied work.
In the performance, Wang Deshun did not have a single line. He only used his own body to present the process of going to adulthood and then to the old area to the audience, and silently felt the meaning of life.
In order to show the baby's state in the mother's uterus, Wang Deshun curled up and wrapped himself tightly with a piece of white cloth. In order to restore the baby's naked state as much as possible, he only wore a pair of flesh-colored shorts all over his body.
《Life》
But at that time, this kind of performance that seemed strange and strange did not arouse the audience's preference. Many people said "I can't understand" and "I don't know what I'm talking about"
and was also beaten down when the program was submitted for review, the reason was: "Naked, indifferent"
The performance designed by
was not understood and the performance was not allowed. Wang Deshun was hit a lot, but he quickly calmed down and devoted himself to the pantomime performance.
He put his unfinished dream of acting into pantomime.
Wang Deshun
But fate did not favor this man who loved acting. His second work "Prison" still did not gain the recognition of his leader. In anger, Wang Deshun decided to resign and go to Beijing to show his pantomime to those who understand.
But at this time he was over 50 years old and his family did not support his decision.
Wang Deshun smiled and said to his wife: "Let's decide to throw the coin. If the national emblem is on it, we will go to Beijing."
The coin was abandoned and fell again, and Wang Deshun won.
Zhao Aijuan looked at her beloved husband and agreed to her husband's decision. The whole family packed their bags and went to Beijing.
Wang Deshun
But the performance road at the beginning was very unsmooth. At first, almost no one invited Wang Deshun to perform, and even if he invited it, it would be only a performance fee of one or two hundred yuan.
The family is unable to make ends meet and they don’t even have a place to live. They can only live in a friend’s house. They go to this house today and that house tomorrow. After the friend also stays at home, the old couple is completely homeless.
It is obvious that Beijing is closer to Shenyang than Shenyang, but Wang Deshun just feels that the winter in Beijing is colder and harder.
Wang Deshun
Soon soon, Wang Deshun and his wife could only move to the underground passage to live. In order not to freeze Wang Deshun, Zhao Aijuan hugged his legs tightly every night.
But soon, Wang Deshun found his residence and asked the Central Academy of Drama Guesthouse to see if he could move in. At first, he was rejected. But then, the director of the Central Academy of Drama , , Xu Xiaozhong, , heard about him and specially approved him to live in the guesthouse.
That's it, Wang Deshun and Zhao Aijuan had a place to live.
Wang Deshun and Zhao Aijuan
Home after the residence was resolved, Wang Deshun began to devote himself to his favorite pantomime career.
The cold winter will always usher in a warm spring , Wang Deshun's career gradually improved, with more and more audiences. Soon he attracted the attention of the Ministry of Culture, which wanted Wang Deshun to attend the World Pantomime Festival in Germany.
years of dream finally came true at this moment, and he was finally able to stand on the stage of the world to let everyone see him.
Wang Deshun set out on the way to Germany. He toured the world for ten years. The man who was so down and wanted to sleep in the underground passage could finally stand on his favorite stage.
Wang Deshun
But at this time, Wang Deshun had a very realistic problem.
As he grows older, it is already difficult for him to complete some difficult movements.
But the pantomime is originally without lines, and the performance is completed by physical performance. If you can’t do the movements?
Wang Deshun quickly discovered another form of performance in pantomime, "live sculpture"
The so-called living sculpture is a performance that the actors must completely prohibit, and make themselves like a sculpture through completely static actions.
externalizes your inner emotions through this art.
Live sculpture
In order to get himself closer to the sculpture, Wang Deshun spent every day in the gym just to train stronger muscles.
Three years later, Wang Deshun's muscles were even more beautiful than the 20-year-old man. It was difficult to distinguish him from the real sculpture after applying oil.
He divided his performance into three paragraphs, Adam and Eve, Rodin and Camille, Paul and Francesca.
These three performances tell about three loves, from heaven to earth to hell, and finally the two souls snuggle together.
Wang Deshun used his body to express a huge tragedy.
Wang Deshun
In 2015, Wang Deshun, who is already 79 years old, would never have thought that he would become popular all over the country this year.
The fashion designer who collaborated with Wang Deshun and Wang Qiu, the eldest daughter of Wang Qiu, noticed Wang Deshun. He asked Wang Qiu curiously: "How old is your father this year? Why is he so good in shape?"
Just like that, at Beijing International Fashion Week, Wang Deshun walked onto the runway with his shirtlessness.
He has a strong figure, bright eyes, white hair and a big beard. When he walked on the runway with great courage, he looked like Kuafu chasing the sun, and his whole body was full of divinity.
Wang Deshun
Wang Deshun became popular all of a sudden. His animated image on the runway went viral on the Internet, and his full aura was full of energy. At that time, all the news titles were: "Young young man is here, your uncle is here"
Everyone was praising the spirit of the old man, and even more sowed by his strong muscles.
But Wang Deshun never forgot his original intention. In an interview, the reporter asked him if he was fitness for this muscle. Wang Deshun just shook his head silently. He exercised just to show his temperament and rhythm.
But in this world, it is rare to have someone who understands your own people.
Netizens are still immersed in the world they want to see, wishful thinking that the old man is just to make himself look more beautiful.
Wang Deshun has been ununderstood for most of his life, and he is too lazy to defend anything.
Wang Deshun
When his dream came true, Wang Deshun did not think about living a stable life.
Just last year, 85-year-old Wang Deshun made a shocking decision, he wanted to learn to fly a license!
After three months of hard study, he successfully obtained his driving license and became the oldest pilot in my country!
You should know that this flight license is not easy to get. It has extremely high requirements for human physical fitness and also requires systematic theoretical knowledge learning. After all, no errors are allowed in the sky.
But Wang Deshun passed various cumbersome physical fitness tests and conducted 40 hours of theoretical and practical training.
He resisted everyone's doubts and successfully obtained his driver's license.
CCTV specially named this pilot with a long head and praised him for being a sword that never grows old!

Recalling Wang Deshun's life, you will find that this old man is always in challenges. He never feels that he is old and never feels late.
44 learn English at the age of 65, learn horse riding at the age of 78, learn motorcycles at the age of 80, play DJs with his daughter at the age of 85, and become a pilot at the age of 85.
Wang Deshun's life is always full of ups and downs and challenges.
He doesn't care about what others think of him or what others comments. He loves him and does everything he likes like a innocent child.
Wang Deshun
Wang Deshun and Zhao Aijuan still have a good relationship in life. The couple often go shopping hand in hand and have dinner together, and their whole family has signed a body donation agreement.
Wang Deshun said this: "My body, living belongs to art, and death belongs to medicine"
This old man devoted his life to the art he loved the most.
"For people who have pursuits, even if they can grow old naturally, their mental state must not grow old. Such people will always remain young."
Looking forward to the old man continuing to write his own glory and continue to face the next challenge!
