In the 1980s and 1990s, Qiong Yao drama was extremely popular, and stars who came out of Qiong Yao opera also abounded, such as the familiar "Huan Zhu Ge Ge". There are all kinds of beautiful women in the entertainment industry, but the "jade girl" has not been seen for many years, after all, that kind of fresh and unworldly temperament is not everyone has. Zhou Huimin, Yang Caini, Liang Yongqi, Yang Yuying, Meng Tingwei and Cecilia Cheung are all popular "jade idols".
Her name is Liu Lanxi, and many people don't know this name. Liu Lanxi was born in Taiwan on March 29, 1960, with his ancestral home in Shenyang, Liaoning Province. Taiwanese female singer, film and television actress, host, the image is fresh and pure.
The most popular singer of Liu Lanxi's era is undoubtedly the irreplaceable Teresa Teng, although the fame and this "queen of songs" cannot be compared, but the looks of the two people have a common quality, that is, very sweet. In that era when there was no PS and retouching, their natural beauty, light makeup and temperament were really beautiful.

When many people listened to Liu Lanxi's songs, they also mistakenly thought that it was Teresa Teng's songs. And her song "Breeze and Drizzle" is also very famous, so that this song has also become a classic song covered by Faye Wong, and Andy Lau has also covered the rock version of this song, which shows the influence of Liu Lanxi at that time.

Liu Lanxi's process of entering the show business circle began with a chance encounter. At the age of 16, she went to Taiwan Television to visit the singing competition, and her temperament attracted the attention of the artist designer Long Siliang, who introduced it to the Taiwan Television director. In 1975, Liu Lanxi participated in the filming of the TV series "Jin Yuyuan", which not only made Xia Lingling, who played the role of Shang Gege, famous in one fell swoop, but also made Liu Lanxi attract attention, thus opening the road of acting in the future.
In 1976, Xinli Company set up a record production department, with the name of the company symbolizing the "new style", and before the golden rhyme award competition that caused the trend was held, three artists, Li Lihua, Ding Xiaohui and Liu Lanxi, were the first singers signed by the company. In July 1977, Liu Lanxi released his debut album "Sunset Love Song", which was also the first record work of Xinge Company. Songs such as "Memories in the Little Rain" and "Sunset Love Song" in the album have become Liu Lanxi's famous songs.
In 1978, Liu Lanxi released his second album "The Wind Don't Knock on My Window". Among them, "The Wind Don't Knock on My Window" and "Memories of Wild Ginger Flowers" composed by Lin Shida, the fresh and sad style combined with the sweet singing voice, successfully highlights the temperament of the singer. The song "Memories of Wild Ginger Flowers" was also recognized by many listeners at that time as one of the most representative pieces of Liu Lanxi.
Liu Lanxi published four albums under the brand name of "Sunset Love Song" (1977), "The Wind Don't Knock on My Window" (1978), "Summer Night" (1979) and "North Wind" (1980). Although she was not a folk singer, due to her fresh voice and bright appearance, the style of songs that Xinge gave her at that time was mostly in line with her personal characteristics. Not only is it quite folk songs, but it even directly re-sings popular campus folk songs.
Liu Lanxi once sang the theme song of the same name with Chi Qiumei in the Chinese series "Mother", and also participated in the filming and performance of many film and television dramas in his early years. In 1978, Liu Lanxi starred in You Tianlong's self-directed and self-directed movie "Divine Eagle Flying Swallow Butterfly Palm". This was her first time as a female lead, and she especially used "Lin Feifei" as her stage name in this play.
In 1980, Liu Lanxi played the female number two in two TV series "Moonlight on the River" and "Spring Dream Without a Trace". "Moonlight on the River" is an adaptation of a novel by a female writer and aired in prime time and received a lot of attention. In the play, the girl Zhou Xiaofei played by Liu Lanxi, like Zhong Kehui she later played in Qiong Yao's movie "Gathering and Scattering Two Yiyi", is not a pleasing role.
During a stage performance, Liu Lanxi accidentally attracted qiong yao's attention. At that time, Zhu Hailing, who became popular with the movie "Marigold", went to Japan, and Qiong Yao was struggling to find a new actress. Qiong Yao and Gao Lingfeng are confidants, Gao Lingfeng sang on stage in the nightclub, and Qiong Yao came to cheer. Seeing Liu Lanxi walk down the stairs singing, Qiong Yao suddenly shouted: "There is!" She is Kehui! ”。
After signing a contract with Qiong Yao's superstar film company, Liu Lanxi cooperated with Lü Xiuling, Zhong Zhentao, Liu Wenzheng, Qin Han, Yun Zhongyue and others in the early 1980s, and participated in many Qiong Yao films such as "Gathering and Scattering Two Yiyi" and "But on the Heart", as well as "Cloud and Stay" and other love literary films performed by the original team of Qiong Yao Drama.
In 1981, Liu Lanxi starred in the comedy film "Chasing Girls" in New Art City. The film was a high-profile hit, pulling the performance of New Art City to the top spot in Hong Kong, and it also played a successful role in Taiwan and Southeast Asian markets. In the film, Liu Lanxi successfully played the role of Ah Hua, and his cute and clever image was quite loved by the audience. After the success of "Chasing Girls", Liu Lanxi was successively recruited by Hong Kong films to participate, but because of the contract with Qiong Yao's company, Liu Lanxi could only perform as a loan, and the script had to be "looked over" by Qiong Yao first. In the end, she only starred in the Shaw film "Evil After Evil" in 1982.
In 1983, she made a cameo role in her last Qiong Yao film, The Lamp of Last Night. In 1984, he starred in the movie "It Doesn't Matter If It's Bright or Not".
Although she became the "Qiong Girl" that everyone envied, Liu Lanxi never became a heroine in Aunt Qiong Yao's play, and has always matched Lu Xiuling, who was highly praised at that time, and the famous "Erqin Erlin" is even more incomparable. Although Liu Lanxi did not lack performances and film contracts at that time, her career did not make much progress, so she gradually withdrew.
At this time, Liu Lanxi met her ex-husband, who was a full ten years older than himself, and the other party was an internist. After getting married for more than a year, her ex-husband went to the United States for further study, Liu Lanxi gave up his acting career for love, and the husband and wife went to the United States with her, and since then she has retired from the entertainment industry.
It was also during that period in the United States that Liu Lanxi and Buddhism formed an indissoluble relationship, and became a practitioner with her ex-husband. In fact, at first, Liu Lanxi was still a little afraid of renunciation, because she was reluctant to give up her husband and her family, and she had been hesitant for five years. Every time she called her parents, she patiently advised them, and finally supported her will to become a monk. Finally, in 1991, Liu Lanxi was officially ordained. According to her recollection, she was holding a shaving ceremony while her parents were crying next to her.
Years later, in an interview with Liu Lanxi, the host described her as a former big star, and she laughed at it. The glory and fame of the past have long been a smoke cloud for Liu Lanxi, who has seen through the red dust.
