Japanese imperialist aggression angered Wei Heling, who was born in the working people. He resolutely signed up for the Red Cross ambulance service and rushed to Shanghai from Tianjin. On the battlefield in the suburbs of Shanghai, he walked through bullets. He stayed in Shanghai after the armistice because of his leg injury.

Influenced by the upsurge of resisting Japan and saving the nation, the left-wing cultural movement led by China's * * * production party flourished in Shanghai. Wei Heling met a number of cultural figures, such as Tian Han, and his patriotic thoughts became increasingly strong. He took an active part in the performance of the Progressive Drama Club.

Zhang Ronggen, a worker in The Beginning of Life, was portrayed by Wei Heling with both levels and depth, vividly showing the weakness and humiliation of the characters, the fantasy of the bourgeoisie, and his awakening under the harsh social reality and the education of revolutionaries. Wei Heling's first screen image was successful, and he became a famous actor invited by Yihua, Lianxing and Star Film Company at that time. The left-wing cultural movement is the effective force to educate the people and unite against Japan in China's anti-Japanese front.

Due to Wei Heling's profound understanding of the characters, the performance was very successful. During this period, a number of anti-Japanese films appeared, such as Children of China, Wan Li Sky, Youth and Baptism of Fire, in which Wei Heling participated.

The Kuomintang not only destroyed the anti-Japanese United front, but also carried out "encirclement and suppression" on the left-wing cultural movement, which caused the film to be passive and difficult. In this case, a large number of filmmakers turned to the stage, and anti-Japanese dramas flourished again. At that time, Wei Heling participated in performances such as Put Down Your Whip, Traffic Storm, Long Live the Nation, Sunrise, Under the Roof of Shanghai, Chongqing in Fog, Dancing with the Devil, etc. After the liberation of China, Wei Heling entered the Shanghai Film Studio as an actor, and later served as the deputy head of the actors' troupe until 1979 died.

He said calmly, "Are you going back to Luzhen or your mother-in-law?" I'll take you back. " A few short words touched Sister Xianglin and the audience.
