Lan Jieying is famous for her beauty and is remembered for her acting skills, but her life is very similar to the movie "The Life of the Abandoned Pine Nut".

20 years old overnight popular, the proud daughter of heaven, 30 years old spirited, career peak, 40 years old fell to the bottom, mental disorder. He died at the age of 55. She had fallen for half her life, been displaced for half her life, never married, and left no son and half daughter.

The news of Lan Jieying's death today reminds people of the four stars who were once again known as the "Four Crazy Kings of Hong Kong" in the last century: Lan Jieying, Chen Baolian, Cai Fenghua and Hong Chaofeng.

These four people were once popular and favored handsome men and women in the entertainment industry, with more than enough talent, but they were in a desolate situation, they had all walked into poverty under the defeat of fate, and even had a mental disorder and crazy behavior, so they were named the "Four Great Epileptic Kings" by the Hong Kong media to correspond to the "Four Heavenly Kings" who were very popular at that time.

With the death of Lan Jieying, and Chen Baolian has been dead for many years, the "Four Great Epileptic Kings" are now two left: Hong Chaofeng and Cai Fenghua.

Looking back today, the so-called madness of the "four major epileptic kings" is actually tragic, and the life experience they each have is a very representative projection of the ecology of the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the era of "all overheated and extreme madness".

Character determines destiny. Lan Jieying was born in 1963, graduated from the wireless actor training class at the age of 21 and was already known as "Beautiful Wutai Mountain" (five TV stations and radio stations in Hong Kong), and was a classmate of Liu Jialing and Wu Junru. But it's clear that she's not a very obedient actress to TVB, and she's been hiding in the snow several times in just three years of her debut, including once because she won't cut her hair for "Big Hong Kong."

Perhaps because the proud daughter of heaven was favored as soon as she debuted, Lan Jieying was also boycotted wirelessly because the costume filming was too hot, the filming was late, and so on. After several times of snow hiding, Lan Jieying terminated her contract with wireless in the middle, and later renewed her contract to return to wireless in 1989, "Duty Intolerable", "Big Time", and Zhou Xingchi's film "Journey to the West" and so on were all filmed after she returned to wireless, and before her mental problems, there was a golden period of about ten years.

From 1989 to 1999, Lan Jieying's works shot in the past ten years were basically the representative works of her life as an actor, especially the "Mei Fenfang" played in "Duty-Bound", the young mother who was wrongfully imprisoned, so that she got rid of the vase impression in one fell swoop and entered the ranks of the acting school.

In 1995, she participated in "Journey to the West" in "Moonlight Treasure Box" and "Great Saint Marrying Relatives", which won her widespread popularity.

Lan Jieying has a strong personality, and would rather not bend, and there are not many friends in the circle after being proud of her talents. Fate treated her even more unfairly, as if to see how much blow she could withstand:

First, in 89, she took away her beloved lover Paul Zhong, who committed suicide by jumping off a building. (But Lan Jieying has denied that the two are in love)

In addition, Lan Jieying's parents died in 1995 and 1997, and she blamed herself for not fulfilling her filial piety and was in a depressed mood. And during this period, love and friendship also left her, and her rich businessman boyfriend at the time transferred his love and married her girlfriend.

Under repeated blows, Lan Jieying finally could not bear it, her mind was confused, her brain was concussed in the car crash in 98, and since then she has begun to behave abnormally, and in 1999, she was sent to a psychiatric hospital for treatment due to hallucinations caused by overdose of drugs. In 2004, Lan Jieying's last work, "Love in a Loving Day", was completely stopped, and the misfortune was that she failed to invest and sold her house to pay off her debts. In 2005, Lan Jieying filed for bankruptcy in the court, becoming the first artist in Hong Kong's history to apply for government CSSA, relying on 3700 yuan per month to survive. Andy Lau once funded Lan Jieying 100,000 yuan, but she took the money to the bar to drink and was stolen.

In the last ten years of Lan Jieying's life, she was very difficult and difficult, once slept on the street without a fixed place, and once suffered from uterine fibroids and had no money to save her life. Her mental condition is not good, under the chase of the Hong Kong paparazzi camera, it is even worse, and she has been called by neighbors several times because she is out of control at the residence.

In 2013, Lan Jieying accepted media reports, revealing a past event that made her emotionally broken, and was raped by a Hong Kong entertainment industry tycoon, causing psychological obstacles. For a time, thousands of waves were stirred up, and the perpetrator of violence alleged by Lan Jieying pointed to Zeng Zhiwei through the analysis of netizens, but Zeng Zhiwei denied it, because of its age and no evidence, this violent case can only be found without proof.

In 2018, Lan Jieying dyed a white hair black, appeared in a variety show, behaved normally, spoke clearly, and netizens who paid attention to her at that time were also very pleased: I hope that Yiren can be stable and happy in the second half of her life... Who expected that her sudden death today will eventually leave a tragic back for the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the last century.

Audiences who have watched Stephen Chow's movie "Domestic Lingling Paint" should be impressed by the appearance of Chen Baolian in the film, because the moment she appeared was really amazing.

Born in 1973, the actress left her son, who had just turned 29 in 2002, and committed suicide by jumping off a building in Shanghai. Later, her son was raised by Faye Wong's agent, Qiu Likuan.

Chen Baolian's agent, Chen Xiaozhi, once said: Emotional problems and changes in life are the root causes of her suicide.

She grew up in a single-parent family is very beautiful, beautiful to 18 years old to participate in the Asian sister competition, 19 years old began by the mother to make "Lantern Grass Monk" and other movies, although quickly accumulated wealth and fame, but she said that the filming experience to leave a deep shadow on the psychology, filming is crying while filming, and because of this matter has fallen out with the mother.

The emotional entanglement with her boyfriend Huang Renzhong, who is more than 30 years old, accompanied by Chen Baolian's later life, pushed her to a deeper abyss. In 1998, Chen Baolian was injured in a car crash (the same year as Lan Jieying), and since then she has repeatedly experienced negative news such as strange behavior, overdose, self-harm and even fights in detention centers.

Before Baolian Chen committed suicide, she had already shown many self-destructive tendencies, and now it seems that she may have suffered from depression long ago, when she used alcohol and psychedelic drugs to anesthetize herself. On the evening of July 31, 2002, she committed suicide by jumping off the top floor of a 24th-floor building on Nanyang Road in Shanghai, leaving her son who had just reached the full moon, Qiu Likuan raised the child to this day, changed the child's surname to Qiu, and regarded it as her own, and Wang Fei also repeatedly funded to reduce Qiu Likuan's burden.

This well-known Radio DJ in Hong Kong was ranked among the "Four Great Epileptic Kings" because of a love affair with a famous woman on Hong Kong Island, Bao Yongqin.

Born in 1960, Hong Chao-fung, 58 years old, is a veritable talent and one of the top ten most popular radio hosts in Hong Kong for several years. In 1998, he fell in love with Bao Yongqin (it was this era again), thus becoming the protagonist of a vigorous and bloody love affair.

Bao Yongqin in the gossip between Liu Luanxiong and female celebrities, is to accompany Liu Luanxiong, a rich businessman who started from scratch, and was betrayed by his ex-wife, after the divorce Bao Yongqin suffered from breast cancer, this strong lady successfully fought cancer, met Hong Chaofeng, and began a new chapter in life.

This is a pair of sisters and brothers who are 6 years apart, Bao Yongqin and Hong Chaofeng love high-profile, many times accept the sweet show love on TV and radio, but also generously hold hands to show up to watch operas, etc., Bao Yongqin once described the relationship as "put to death and then born", probably related to her successful anti-cancer in the ghost door.

But this sweet love does not turn into a dog blood farce for a long time, the two break up, compound, break up again, reunite, tear their faces through the media to scold each other when they break up, and when they reunite, they are like glue, when the two broke up, Hong Chaofeng publicly made a list, asking Bao Yongqin to repay the 39 pairs of underwear he left in her home... This farce was also borrowed in the first episode of "Male and Female Love" starring Huang Zihua Zheng Yuling.

In 2003, Bao Yongqin died of illness at the age of 49. After the end of "Hong Baolian", Hong Chaofeng was also confirmed to suffer from bipolar disorder, and then he gradually faded out in Hong Kong, and the center of his career was placed in the mainland.

In 2017, Hong Chaofeng was diagnosed with tongue cancer, and after experiencing a series of painful treatments, Hong Chaofeng had a new understanding of life: "I just want to live a plain life, use my soul, to love people, to be loved." ”

△ Now Hong Chaofeng.

Born in 1960, this extremely talented male singer debuted as the current flow, small fresh meat, when the lips were sexy, known as the "Prince of Red Lips". He also has a song "Prince Charming", which is defined as the Prince Charming in the hearts of fans. And the reason why this male singer, who was very popular in the 80s, was named one of the "four crazy kings" was because of four words: disaster came out of the mouth.

Cai Fenghua was named "Cai Crazy Hua" because he repeatedly said the wrong thing.

In 1985, Cai Fenghua at the award ceremony for the second season of Jinge Golden Melody, as an spender, said to Zhang Guo's award-winning comment that "a moment of brilliance does not represent eternity", and for a time there was an uproar, many fans attacked him, and he also lost the position of host of Jinge Golden Song.

Over the years, Cai Fenghua was rumored to have been banned for this incident, but in fact, he continued to publish an album every year after 86 years, and "Broken" was released in 1987.

The reason why he offended the radio station was actually a violation of the spirit of the contract, because in the "Jinge" program he hosted, he said something like this: "Do you know why wireless will continue to host me?" It's because I have a small salary. This sentence provoked Wireless to be very unhappy, because he did not propose a salary increase before signing the contract, and only after signing the contract did he publicly complain about the low salary, which was a bit unauthentic.

Later, the problem of Cai Fenghua's gradual decline was probably related to his rumors of drug use and medication, and because of his poor mental state, he often broke his job, so his career in Hong Kong gradually failed, and from 1993 to 1996, he turned to the mainland and opened a number of concerts. In 1999, Cai Fenghua took the initiative to return to Wireless, and Wireless was willing to give him the opportunity to be exposed. At that time, the media amplified the coverage of his various remarks, and he was not good at speaking, and "Cai Crazy Hua" became his label.

In 2000, in the movie "King of a Thousand Kings" by Zhou Xingchi and Zhang Jiahui, Cai Fenghua was also alluded to: Zhang Jiahui tattooed a line "I love Cai Fenghua", which was ridiculed by everyone.

This attempt to make a comeback, apparently brought him only humiliation. In 2003, Cai Fenghua reappeared, saying that he had lived a miserable life in recent years and lived on welfare benefits.

In 2012, Cai Fenghua made a comeback to sing in Hong Kong, recalling the past, he said: "In the past ten years, my life is better than death", but he also said: "People can not only look backwards, but also look forward, ever forward, never backward, the past things can not be recovered, I am for fame, status and dignity to open a song." ”

Looking back at the "Four Crazy Kings of Hong Kong" now, they are actually "those who have been insulted and damaged" in Vanity Fair, and the camera and attention reading have magnified their shortcomings, which in turn has caused them several times the harm.

Relive their tragic past, if they can survive the blow, survive the trough, have a strong enough self-healing ability, rather than the emotional problems that trigger a vicious circle with the help of drugs and alcoholism, can they rewrite the second half of their lives?

How lucky it was to live a life of ordinary life!

Someone loves, has something to do, has something to look forward to – I wish everyone a life like this.
