Ling Yuan

Ling Yuan was born on February 1, 1917 in Jilin, Jilin Province, China. Their earliest documented film appearance came in 1956 with New Year Sacrifice, where Ling Yuan portrayed the character Desao A. The role marked an entry into professional cinema during a period when Chinese filmmaking was expanding in both scope and influence.

Decades later, Ling Yuan returned to the screen in 1979 with A Sweet Life, taking on the role of 田大妈. The film represented a later phase in their career, demonstrating sustained engagement with the medium across a span of more than two decades. Ling Yuan’s contributions remain traceable through these two credited appearances, which serve as the primary record of their work in the film industry.
