Early last June, the entire Chinese entertainment industry was heartbroken by the news that male artist Diep Di Manh of Journey to the West had passed away due to illness. His friends and colleagues bitterly bid him farewell.

It is known that male artist Diep Di Manh passed away at the age of 80. This news has shocked and deeply saddened the Chinese public. This is a great loss for the Cbiz film industry because Diep Di Manh was very loved when participating in the work Journey to the West.

After hearing the news, male artist Liu Xiao Ling Tong - who plays the role of Sun Wukong - shared a post on his personal page expressing his condolences for Diep Di Manh. Previously, Liu Xiao Ling Tong had also posted many intimate photos with the male artist on his personal page.

Diep Di Manh's family said that the actor's funeral was held simply and quietly, in accordance with his last wishes before he passed away. Unfortunately, the actor's son-in-law could not return in time to see him one last time.

During the funeral, Diep Di Manh was smiling gently. It seemed like he had lived a full and fulfilling life without regrets. Many people sent their condolences to Diep Di Manh's family.

Speaking of Ye Yi Manh, he was born in 1945 and was an actor in the Anhui provincial drama troupe. The male artist used to act as a stunt double for martial arts scenes in many film projects. Few people know that Ye Yi Manh played more than 20 roles in Journey to the West 1986.

According to QQ, Journey to the West has been rebroadcast more than 4,000 times and has influenced many generations of audiences from young to old. Currently, the behind-the-scenes stories of Journey to the West still attract the attention of many people.

Diep Di Manh has played up to 20 roles in the film, including Manjushri Bodhisattva (episodes 13, 25), Lang Khong Tu, Nhi Thai Tu, Pho Hien Bodhisattva (episode 25)... Although they were only supporting roles, his characters still left a deep impression on the audience. After nearly 4 decades, Diep Di Manh is still very enthusiastic about Journey to the West. He was excited to share about this classic work in an interview in 2023.

It can be recognized that Diep Di Manh was the stunt double for many action scenes in Journey to the West. His transformation and makeup were excellent and received many compliments from the audience. Many viewers did not even realize that Diep Di Manh played 20 roles in Journey to the West. He is the "all-round" actor of Journey to the West.

In his private life, Diep Di Manh is an extremely private artist. He enjoys a peaceful retirement life with his wife who also has a passion for performing arts. It is known that he and his wife do not live near their children and grandchildren, but they still accompany and travel together whenever they have the opportunity. Diep Di Manh also regularly exercises diligently, so he was still quite clear-headed at the end of his life.

In fact, not only Diep Di Manh, there were many people who participated in the film Journey to the West but did not stop at just 1 role. If the male artist Diep participated in 20 roles, then "Sa Tang" Diem Hoai Le contributed to the film in nearly 30 roles but was not discovered by the audience, and did not even receive a salary.

Diem Hoai Le, born in 1936, came from a family with no artistic tradition. However, at the age of 20, he still applied to the National Arts and Music Department to pursue his passion for drama. He was enthusiastic about school activities and had excellent academic achievements, so he was retained as a lecturer after graduation.

In addition to being a lecturer, he also participated in opera performances and appeared in many productions. He was awarded the Labor Medal for his tireless contributions to the arts.

At the time of participating in this classic project, Diem Hoai Le was a stage actor who was entering the film industry for the first time. He quickly caught the attention of director Duong Khiet.

Luckily, director Duong Khiet saw that his appearance was suitable for the character of Sa Tang, so he gave him another chance to audition. This role of Sa Tang was considered "born" for Diem Hoai Le. When he put on makeup and stepped out, all members of the crew could feel the character's aura.

Director Duong once said: "Although he was 50 years old when he joined the film crew, he was physically very strong, did not hesitate to do anything, and was there immediately if anyone needed help."

In fact, among the four Tang Monks, Sha Wujing is a rather obscure character, not leaving much of an impression. Netizens only remember this character through sayings like: "Eldest Senior Brother, Master was captured by a monster!", "Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother was captured by a monster", "Second Senior Brother, Master was captured by a monster", "Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother and Master were captured by a monster" .. Many people think that Sha Wujing is just a "decorative" character for the film and specializes in carrying luggage for Master and has no other role.

Yan Huaili often had to carry heavy luggage while participating in Journey to the West, but he never complained. It is known that because he was too focused on filming, Yan Huaili inhaled a lot of the smell of insecticide on the set. In the end, he suffered lung damage.

It is reported that Yan Huaili's salary for the role of Sha Wujing is not as much as the other three characters, but he is still very enthusiastic. Notably, the supporting roles that Yan Huaili participates in are all free, without any salary. He wants to help the film crew escape poverty and reduce financial pressure.

It is known that Diem Hoai Le has played many characters such as Tay Hai Long Vuong, Thai Thuong Lao Quan, Nguu Ma Vuong, Thien Ly Nhan, Ngu Ma Giam, the old man in the crowd watching Ton Ngo Khong and the monk at Quan Am Vien... No matter what character, he always performed his best and few audiences would have realized that he was the one playing these roles if it had not been revealed later.

After Journey to the West, Diem Hoai Le also participated in a number of other popular film projects such as the role of Kim Mao Su Vuong in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, the role of Trinh Tan in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the role of Trinh Huy To in The Legend of Ky Hieu Lam...

Many people say that in the entertainment industry, it is rare to find someone who is as passionate about his profession as he is enthusiastic and talented in acting as Diem Hoai Le. Therefore, the audience always respected him. When the male artist passed away, fans everywhere expressed their condolences. Friends and colleagues were present to see him off.
