The old version of Sanmao Drama

The old version of Sanmao was played by Wang Longji.

Zhang Leping's lover Feng wrote in the book Forever San Mao, the editor-in-chief: The most striking thing in this film is Wang Longji, the little actor who plays San Mao. He was discovered by accident after the film crew cast a net and searched unsuccessfully. When choosing Sanmao actor, according to Zhang Leping's cartoon image, the actor should have a big head because of malnutrition. Sanmao is a little soldier who has suffered a lot and never gives in, so an actor must be cute, smart and spiritual.

Gong Yan, the director who was in charge of selecting actors at that time, spent several months looking for hundreds of children in a row, but could not find Sanmao. Just as Gong Yan was worried about not choosing the right actor, suddenly one day, as soon as he walked out of the gate of the film company, he saw three children playing pinball. The little one won two big ones, and the two big ones refused to admit losing, so they made a move first. Regardless of his weakness, the little man raised his fist and hit him, and finally defeated two older children.

This stubborn and unyielding character is the characteristic of Sanmao. Gong Yan came and looked at the child carefully. He is a small man with a big head and a thin neck. He has a pair of big round eyes. He is sensitive in childishness, eager in confusion and careless in expression. He is always ready to defend himself and has a sense of fighting. He is just a little three hairs. At that time, Wang Longji was only eight years old. Later, Gong Yan took him to the studio. Wang Longji plays Sanmao.
