Yan Jun (1917–1980), born Yan Zongqi, was an early Chinese actor and director nicknamed the actor of a thousand faces. Of Mongolian descent and registered in Nanjing, he was born in Beiping and studied chemistry at Fu Jen Catholic University until the war forced him to drop out. He then worked in Shanghai theatre, making his film debut in a Xinhua production, and after the war against Japan joined Great Wall Film Company for films such as a melodrama about a fallen woman, moving to Hong Kong in 1948. His first film as director was a 1950s drama, and he shot to fame with a later picture. In 1957 he married the celebrated actress Li Lihua; in the 1970s heart trouble ended his career and the couple emigrated to the United States. His mother died in mainland China on 17 July 1980, and a month later, on the morning of 18 August 1980, Yan Jun himself died of a heart attack in a New Jersey hospital, aged 63.
