At the mention of the name Ma Junwei, perhaps many people will feel strange. But if you talk about the 1998 classic The Deer and the Cauldron, an image will certainly come to your mind-the actor who plays Emperor Kangxi is Ma Junwei. His interpretation makes the role of "Kangxi" lifelike, so it is praised as "the most handsome Kangxi in history" by the audience. Whenever I recall the "Xiao Xuanzi" in the play, the elegance and temperament between the eyebrows are enough to make people fall for it.
As time flies, Ma Junwei has entered another stage of his life. At the age of 52, he did not choose to spend the rest of his life comfortably, but instead became more "troubled". At the age of 48, he resolutely entered the classroom of Peking University and finally graduated with a master's degree; at the age of 51, he successfully transformed into a public official, opening a new chapter in his life. What is more surprising is that in just one year, he actually obtained more than 20 certificates! Such achievements, let netizens have nicknamed him "research maniac."
So what on earth made Ma Junwei so obsessed with textual research? Perhaps, in the depths of his heart, there is always a flame of refusing to admit defeat. He is eager to constantly challenge himself and constantly exceed his limits. Each certificate is not only a commitment to himself, but also his attitude towards life. He told us with his own actions: life is endless, learning is endless, no matter when and where, do not stop the pace of progress.
