Character evaluation
Most of Shi Jun's films are composed and unique in character. Except for the films directed by Hu Jinquan, he carefully chooses scripts, so there are few works.
The films that Shi Jun participated in are also the inner classics of martial arts fans for generations. From "dragon's Gate Inn" and "chivalrous girl", which are the classics of Chinese martial arts movies, to "never leave" with young directors, Shi Jun plays not only movies but also life. Shi Jun's style of elegance, uprightness and gentleness has never faded in the past 40 years. However, his experience of life and film, and his style of acting as one, still have rich enlightenment.
