In early 1995, I visited the cemetery of Bruce Lee, Guo Hao and his son at Jinghu Cemetery in the suburbs of Seattle, and participated in the performance of "Birthday Worship". On the evening of February 19, while driving in the United States, he suffered a heart attack for the third time and was in critical condition. Self-explanation: I was driving the car on the way, but my body felt more and more wrong. I saw a police car parked in front of me, and I planned to go for help. But then I thought about it, if the ambulance (i.e. ambulance) came and took me to the hospital, only my wife was left in the car on the highway. She was new to the United States, and she didn’t even have a driver’s license. What is good then? "No, I can't stop." Looking at the sleeping wife beside me, I prayed to God: "God! If you really want to take my life back today, please allow me to return home first and settle down. Madam!" In this way, I continued to drive the car and headed straight towards home. Looking at the wife sitting next to me, I didn't plan to tell her, because I knew it would only make her very worried.... At this moment, I was already working so hard. I felt that my heart was about to come to a halt, and my wife also woke up from sleep. When she found that I was unwell, she immediately prayed and said, "God, I know that you are among us all the time, and I also know that life is in your hands. If you want to get it back, you have sovereignty, but this For a moment, please have mercy on me! In the past 30 years, Roy Chiao and I have been busy with each other. Until now, you finally let us come to this wonderful place to live together. Please give me a little more time. Come on!" In this way, God answered our prayers. When we returned home, I sat on the sofa and rested. I realized that I was going to die, but my heart was very peaceful and obedient. I obeyed God and obeyed his arrangements, because I knew that life was originally him. Given every day. ("Roy Chiao Couple Happy Miracle").

Passed away in Seattle, the United States, at the age of 73, "Little Gold" said in a telephone interview with a Hong Kong reporter from overseas: "Roy Chiao is a 100% good husband and a good old man (quoted: Cantonese father) , A good believer, a good actor, my husband has always been a big man and doesn’t like to tell others about his inner world, but he suffered a heart attack in 1995 and he "died and resurrected" Become much gentler.

Personal Life
Once, he kept telling stories in the table with a serious expression, but he made us laugh so much that his stomach hurts. Then he said: There is another best story... It turned out that he once went to preach in a field As a result, the pick-up car broke his finger when closing the door, the first section of the middle finger fell to the ground, and the car was full of blood. "The funny thing is: I accidentally found the severed finger that fell, found ice in the car, got the severed finger iced up and sent it to the hospital, sutured it in time, and didn't feel the pain, and continued to preach on time. You see , With my fingers now, nothing happened at all."
In his eyes, life and death are even more indifferent. When he was seventy-one years old, when he knew that I was only in his forties, he said: "I get in the car early, and naturally get off the car early. Everyone should know their destination and enjoy the journey. You still have a long way to go, put yourself in the hands of God.
Yang Qun and Roy Chiao are 40 years old friends, but they have always opposed believing in Jesus. Yang Qun immigrated to Seattle in June 1997, and then went to Roy Chiao, who had already immigrated to Seattle, to make an exception to attend a sermon led by him, and automatically ran to the stage to make a decision. On the stage, Roy Chiao kept crying, "I'm so touched!" Yang Qun's wife Yu Fengzhi said. That night, before the meeting, I saw Roy Chiao praying in a small room in the church. I knew that something big would happen. Sure enough, even people like Yang Qun were willing to believe in Jesus.
When we go out to preach, there is no problem in asking him to play any role, even as a clown. In Hong Kong, there is a "Golden Melody with Dinner Party Sermon". He wants to dance a lion. Because the head of the lion is very thin, he wears it on the tall body. The appearance is very interesting, but he doesn't care.
He is very stubborn in character, but stubbornness is used correctly, so he sticks to his beliefs to the end. He once shot a set of commercials with another artist, Shi Jian, who is also a Christian, playing the role of an adulterer. Because of this, his daughter was often teased by classmates in school, saying that her father specializes in rape. She is an adulterous woman. Her daughter complained to her father sadly. He promised his daughter that within ten years, he would stop making movies with adulterous people. Naturally, he lost his breath, but he lived by faith.
Many years ago, his son wanted to study abroad, but he had no money. He asked his son to pray and look up to God. If he had money, he could go. But when the deadline was up, there was still no news. He repeatedly asked his son to pray. Later, he took over the filming of "Attack of Devil", and the chips he got were just enough for his son to study abroad.
An actor who is very familiar with Roy Chiao once said: "Roy Chiao often talks about Jesus. Now that he is old, he has no money and no name, and he is preaching all day long." Some people said to Roy Chiao, "You Of course, you can often preach, because you have made enough money." Some people said, "Old Joe, I hang out to preach the gospel all day, so I have nothing to do today." In fact, those who really know him know that he never does it. He plans nothing, and doesn't worry about himself. He wears simple clothes, doesn't wear brand-name clothes, doesn't invest, doesn't buy a house, and Heavenly Father takes care of him.
For many years, Roy Chiao lived in a rented house and never bought a home. A few years ago, because his house was mainly recovered and the lease was terminated, he tried to buy his own home. He liked a bungalow and wanted to get a loan from the bank. When the bank wanted to see his deposit records, he took the passbook to the bank clerk. Even the bank clerk could not believe that his deposit was only 700 yuan. However, God prepared for him that the relocation expenses paid by the owner of the rented house were just enough to buy him the first installment of the bungalow, and he would have his own residence.

The atmosphere at the beginning is well rendered, the camera feel is very strong, the fight is not deliberate, the look is comfortable, the suspense is layered, but it is a little too careless of the rhythm, which makes the viewer feel uncomfortable and naturally can't stand it. I went to see the title of the Cannes award-winning film, and xixi fell asleep after half a movie~~ Haha

It is similar to the mysterious atmosphere of the ghost of a Chinese girl. The characters appear only five or six minutes after the scene is edited in the empty mirror. The expression of the scene is far more than the dialogue. The girl is usually in white shorts, and the change is the same as Xiaoqian. His black long dress, the same sitting and playing the piano, the same lotus in the pond. As a costume action movie, the first fight does not appear until 60 minutes later. Many groups of characters try each other out, confucianism, soldiers, doctors, divination, monks, and chivalrous women. The martial arts movements are more realistic, with powerful movements and solid steps. The sound effects enhance the chopping sound of swords, the crispness of weapon collisions, and the harshness of friction. The climax of the bamboo forest and the night battle are all classics. The end here is enough to confine the gods. Taking it out alone in the last forty minutes is also a good show. From martial arts to the realm of Buddhism metaphysics, but even after the night battle, the protagonist deviates from the good and evil protagonists, and still feels that the sense of continuity of the whole film is slightly broken.
