"Making Up for My Clumsiness: The Autobiography of You Benchang" is the official autobiography of performing artist You Benchang. From his quiet dedication to 79 minor roles, to his overnight fame as "Ji Gong," and then to his resurgence as "Uncle" in "Blossoms" at nearly 90 years old, this book records the artistic life of this veteran artist over the past ninety years. On stage, he was a theater fanatic, a Ji Gong, Uncle, and Master Hongyi, believing in the lifelong motto of "Live to learn, learn, and correct until old age." In life, however, he admitted that he "didn't understand people or life," feeling estranged and distant from his family, and indebted to them. After "Blossoms," he was full of ambition, but suddenly fell seriously ill and went into a coma in the ICU. After being pulled back from the brink of death, he re-examined his life and decided to spend the rest of his life making up for everything he owed his family. The two words "making up for my clumsiness" are his answer to this life. This book publishes for the first time a large number of precious photos and manuscripts, including behind-the-scenes photos of "Ji Gong," filming diaries of "Blossoms," and in-depth interviews with his wife, son, and daughter.

《补拙记:游本昌自传》是表演艺术家游本昌的官方自传。从79个龙套角色的默默坚守,到“济公”的一夜成名,再到年近90以《繁花》“爷叔”再度绽放,记录了一位老艺术家至今九十余年的艺术人生。在舞台上,他是戏痴,是济公、爷叔、弘一大师,一生信奉“活到老、学到老、改到老”;在生活中,他却自认“太不懂人、太不懂生活”,对家人疏离、隔阂,心怀亏欠。《繁花》之后,他踌躇满志,却突患重病昏迷ICU。从死亡线上被拉回来后,他重新审视自己的一生,决定用余生弥补亏欠家人的一切。“补拙”二字,正是他对这一生的回答。本书首度公开大量珍贵照片与手稿,含《济公》花絮照、《繁花》拍摄日记,收录对妻子、儿子、女儿的深度访谈。
