In the 1921s, in Anton (present-day Dandong) by the Yalu River, the Pu family had a very clever and naughty child. Originally, it was a boy, but because his mother loved his daughter too much, she named him Pu Yufang (changed to Yu Fang after entering middle school). Perhaps influenced by his name, when she was in primary school, Yu Fang was as ingenious as a girl. She not only learned Chinese, arithmetic and music well, but also excelled in drawing and handicraft classes in the whole class: pasting prints, cutting paper, folding paper cranes and other birds with various colors of paper, all of which were vivid and vivid. The paper boats and lanterns he folded are even more lovely, and many of his "works" are also exhibited in the school. This may be the earliest artistic cell of Yu Fang.

Pu Yufang was born in Penglai, Shandong Province in October of the lunar calendar in 1916. At the age of 3, his father Pu Yunchang took his mother and Yu Fang to Anton to help his grandfather do business. Later, his father went to Benxi Bank to work, and Yu Fang went to a middle school in Benxi. After graduating from high school, Yu Fang wanted to continue his studies, but he had to help his father share the burden of family life. At the age of 15, he had to be an apprentice in Taihe Store, a cloth shop in Shenyang. "Taihe Store" is a four-story store dealing in cloth, silks and satins, furs and porcelain. At the same time, the fourth floor also deals in the 16 mm film projector, which was rarely seen at that time, and is also equipped with film. Sometimes when a guest comes to buy a projector, he sneaks upstairs to watch a half movie. Pu Yufang first came into contact with movies here. Occasionally, when he was free, he also went to the cinema to watch movies. At this time, Pu Yufang had developed a strong interest in movies.

Pu Yufang had just been in Taihe for one year, and in 1931, the "September 18" incident happened, and the Japanese occupied the northeast. In March 1932, the Puppet Manchukuo was founded, and the people in Northeast China became conquered people. At this time, Changchun was changed to Xinjing and Shenyang was changed to Fengtian. Later, a new cinema was built in Shenyang, called Guanglu Cinema. Zhang Shenzhai, the former boss of Taihe, worked as the manager of this newly-built cinema. This coke ruined Pu Yufang. When he was free, he decided to go to Guanglu Cinema and watch a lot of Shanghai films and American films. Chaplin and Wei Heling became his idols.

Just as Pu Yufang became more and more interested in movies, one day in mid-April, 1938, his good friend Manager Zhang sent a good news-"Man Ying" (full name of Manchuria Film Association) came to Fengtian to recruit actors. Pu Yufang heard the news and rushed to Guanglu Cinema. Zhang Shenzhai had already inquired about the situation for him: anyone could sign up as long as the registration fee was three yuan, and they went to the registration place together and signed up under the pseudonym of Pu Ke. The examination was conducted by Iyokichi Kondo, a full-time teacher of "Manying" Actor Training Institute. The examination items were first visually examined, and then a few simple questions were asked. Satisfied visually, only ask: "Yours, test actor, why?" Pu Ke readily replied: "For art." Pass the initial test. The second interview the next day, he only read a poem and passed it smoothly. This excited Pu Yufang. A few days later, he received an admission notice. On May 1, he packed his bags. Report to "Full Shadow" in Xinjing. From then on, he became the third student of "Full Screen" Actor Training Institute. Previously, "Man Ying" had enrolled two groups of nearly 111 students. According to the plan, the students had to study in the actor training institute for one year. In fact, most of them only studied for a few months and then took time out to film. Pu Ke entered the Institute in May, and in July he took out a small role as a stenographer in Selflessness of National Law. The location is in Xiajiahezi Beach, Dalian, and his part is jumping into the sea to save people. After the director explained the plot, Pu Ke was embarrassed. He told the director that he couldn't swim. The director said: you jump, it doesn't matter, someone will save you then. Pu Ke had to obey, and the director shouted, "Let's go." He jumped into the rough sea. As a result, not only could he not catch anyone, but he struggled desperately. Seeing that people were sinking and drowning, the director called "Stop". At this moment, someone jumped into the sea and dragged Pu Ke, who was almost dying by the seawater. Why is that? This is exactly what the director wants. Pu Ke's performance in front of the camera gave him his first taste of being an actor. But this taste is not good. But his professionalism left a good impression on people. Since then, he has played a supporting role in Sisters of Truth and Symphony of Suffering.

In p>1941, director Zhang Tianci of China invited Pu Ke to play the leading role of Wang Dafan and Dr. Ma in The Absurd Hero. The story of The Absurd Hero is really absurd: young Wang Dafan left school for three years and didn't find a job. He was in love with the girl Lihua, but Lihua's father didn't agree to this marriage. Generally, he finally became a reporter for a magazine. At first, he was very popular, and then he was dismissed. Once, Da Fan accidentally saved the president's daughter, and the president was deeply moved, so he was reinstated, became the head of the class, became a hero, and finally married Lihua. While filming this film, there was a scene where Wang Dafan wanted to jump off a tall chimney, which frightened Pu Ke. He guessed that he would die if he jumped off. The film crew thought it was impossible to jump, and as a result, a 11-foot-high platform was built, and the actors jumped off the platform, with something padded under it, so as not to be too dangerous. On the day of the real shoot, Pu Ke was still timid, encouraged by the director, and Pu Ke stepped onto the platform carefully. Pu Ke was still on shaky footing, and the director just shouted, "Ready-"The platform collapsed, and Pu Ke was knocked unconscious. First aid to escape. When filming at that time, the safety of actors was not guaranteed. After starring in this film, Pu Ke also starred in many films, such as Mirror Flowers and Shui Yue, YiShun Baishun, GeNv Hate, Winter jasmine, Yuanyang after the robbery, QianJinHuaZi, The History of the Greenwood and so on, and became one of the famous actors in the later period of Man Ying. In 1939, she married Xia Peijie, the first actress "Goldfish Beauty".
