According to media reports, the well-known film and television, drama performance and recitation broadcast artist Xue Zhongrui died in Jinan on the evening of the 20th at the age of 85. Xue Zhongrui's disciple Huaqing confirmed the news.

It is reported that Xue Zhongrui has been hospitalized for several months due to illness. He entered a coma that morning and died at 9:1 pm.

Mr. Xue Zhongrui has been engaged in the performing arts since the last century. For many younger audiences, the one who impressed him the most was playing Soetu in "The Kangxi Dynasty".

. For older friends, they met him through the radio. As the number one person who broadcasts domestic radio novels, Xue Zhongrui has been telling novels since the 1950s. In that era when he could only listen to novels on the radio, Xue Zhongrui nourished the hearts of generations and became truly household names.

Later, Mr. Xue devoted himself to the drama industry and achieved higher achievements in the drama field. He once won the " Golden Lion Award ". Among the many representative works, Xue Zhongrui's most classic work is "Common Confucius". It is reported that in the 1980s, Mr. Xue began to play Confucius and had participated in more than 300 "Common Confucius" during his lifetime. Four years ago, Xue Zhongrui, who was over 80 years old, successfully held a teacher-student recitation meeting in Jinan, and the finale was still "Common Confucius". Mr. Xue was on the stage at that time and was full of energy. In just over a dozen minutes, he expressed Confucius' spirit to the fullest.

And in 2019, Mr. Xue's last public performance was still dedicated to the drama. It is reported that Mr. Xue and many drama actors spent 7 months rehearsing to the audience, giving the drama "Let the present tell the future". The expression between the eyebrows showed all the attainments.

In fact, Mr. Xue could have enjoyed his old age. But after he retired, he was even busier than before. Mr. Xue performed programs at major festivals in various places, served as a judge and was also a professor. In the words of Mr. Xue, he could have had a good rest, but as an old artist, he could not tolerate his artistic journey coming to an abrupt end. For him, it is the happiest thing to communicate spiritually with the audience through art.

And he has truly been on the road for art forever. As long as the local recitation activities are held, Mr. Xue will provide timely support. Two years ago, the Qilu Cup Recitation and Speech Competition was held. Mr. Xue wished the event a complete success in front of the camera, and was still articulate and full of energy.

June this year was also the last time Mr. Xue appeared on a TV show. During the interview, he still did not forget his original intention and shared with the audience how to stick to his own craftsmanship for seventy years.

At that time, the old man had white hair, but his spirit was still good. He also told his story about his experience in film. Unexpectedly, he passed away in less than half a year, which is a pity.

As an old artist who devotes his life to art, Xue Zhongrui has always set an example for his younger generations with his actions, "Don't be arrogant when rising, don't be sad when falling, and keep walking along the path in his heart." I hope the old artist will go well.
