Speaking of "Water Margin", it is estimated that no one in China has not read it. What everyone is more interested in is the righteousness and pride between brothers in the novel, as well as the 108 single generals and the dazzling martial arts. However, you may not know that among the many actors, the one who can be said to have real kung fu is not the 108 generals, but Song Wenhua, the actor who plays Wu Dalang, who is only 1.3 meters tall and once won a martial arts championship.
Song Wenhua was born in 1955. He was once a member of the Beijing Workers' Martial Arts Team. He was good at drunken boxing, drunken stick, and single sword. He once performed martial arts on a TV show and even won the championship in a traditional martial arts competition when he was young.
Before starring in "Water Margin", Song Wenhua was not well-known. He made a living from a canteen and had no formal training as an actor. But he really played this little character to perfection, even though several professional actors have played the role of Wu Dalang. For example, Pan Changjiang and Eric Tsang, but no one can surpass him.
After Song Wenhua played "Water Margin", he also acted in "Master Hai Deng" and "Seven Fairies of Happy Land", especially the land father-in-law in "Seven Fairies of Happy Land", which was also very lifelike.
There are many fierce generals in "Water Margin". A man with real kung fu, but he does not have any martial arts scenes in a martial arts drama. It is also very interesting. The picture shows Song Wenhua and Miss Wang Siyi who plays Pan Jinlian. Song Wenhua is now in his sixties. He has already married a wife and has children, and now he is a grandfather. After the filming of "Water Margin" became a hit, he changed the name of his canteen to Wu Dalang Canteen. The business was very good, with customers from all over the world.
