She is the goddess of the Republic of China who shines with stars, the beauty of the people, the sweet song, the strongest "labor model". Nearly 20 years of acting career, leaving more than 200 songs, popular songs, 43 classic films. Unfortunately, since the ancient red face has a lot of fate, Zhou Xuan's career is more glamorous, how bleak and miserable her personal experience is: she was abducted and sold by her uncle at the age of three, and she fell in love four times, and she was destroyed again and again. In his later years, he died in a mental hospital. Obviously a winner in life, after becoming famous, why did Zhou Xuan fall to such a point?
In 1920, Zhou Xuan was born in Changzhou to a family surnamed Su. Her parents named her Su Pu, which means pure and natural. Helplessly, the heavens are not beautiful, her unpolished jade, since the age of three, has experienced the heat and cold of the world. In 1923, Zhou Xuan was abducted and sold by his uncle who smoked a lot of cigarettes to the Wang family in Jintan County, and his name changed from the vulgar Su Pu to the tacky Wang Xiaohong. After the Wang family divorced, Zhou Xuan was abandoned again and was transferred to a family surnamed Zhou in Shanghai, and renamed Zhou Xiaohong.
Like his uncle, the Zhou family's adoptive father was an "old smoking gun" who could not do without opium. The Zhou family's originally solid family situation has also become thinner and thinner, and the Adoptive Mother of the Zhou Family has changed from two noble ladies and wives who do not touch the spring water of the Yang to being a maid to others. Zhou Xuan, who came out of the blue, fortunately got rescued by his adoptive mother in time and almost became a prostitute in the Qinglou.
She was sold as a child, and almost became a fireworks woman in her cardamom years. Regarding his own life, Zhou Xuan was completely unaware of this before he died. After becoming famous, she confided in the magazine "Vientiane": I am a miserable woman, I don't know my birthplace, I don't know my parents, I don't even know my last name.
Childhood is so tragic, how did Zhou Xuan change her life and become a generation of singers? It all started with her name change. At that time, Zhou Xuan was still a theater and timid Zhou Xiaohong, who was introduced to Li Jinhui, a big figure in the Chinese pop music scene, and changed his name to Zhou Xuan. The theme song of the opera Wild Rose, "The Light of the Nation", has a sentence in the lyrics of "Circling the Battlefield with the Enemy", which is the origin of Zhou Xuan's name.
For Zhou Xuan, changing his name is changing his life. In early 1934, under the recommendation of composer Yan Hua, Zhou Xuan entered the Xinhua Opera Society. Zhou Xuan was born with a good voice, her tone was delicate and sweet, and her words were clear. Coupled with Zhou Xuan's fresh and beautiful face, after many performances, Zhou Xuan has received attention from the music industry.
Many radio stations invited Zhou Xuan to sing, and radio stations such as the well-known "Youlian", "Xinxin" and "Blue Bird" in Shanghai at that time often invited her to sing. Not only that, but many record companies have come to the door. EMI and Victory Records also recorded many of her songs, such as "The Wind of May" and "Ding-Da".
With the broadcast of the radio and the sale of records, Zhou Xuan's singing voice entered every household. It is no exaggeration to say that at that time, the streets and alleys of Shanghai were playing "Flower Good Moon" and "Phoenix In Flight" everywhere... Zhou Xuan was welcomed by the public, and in the same year, Zhou Xuan appeared in the singer competition jointly held by various radio stations in Shanghai, and thus won the title of "Golden Voice".
Zhou Xuan's value also soared, and his income was not in banknotes, but in gold bars. According to the gossip at the time, Zhou Xuan sang an interlude for a movie, and with his fame, he could easily obtain nearly 1 kilogram of gold bars. At that time, reports said that Zhou Xuan was the richest singer.
Gaining a firm foothold in the music industry, Zhou Xuan crossed over as an actor again. After zhou luan's introduction, Zhou Xuan entered the Shanghai Yihua Film Company and filmed the first film in his life, "Children of the Wind and Clouds". Although in this film, the fledgling Zhou Xuan only played an ordinary role, it laid the foundation for her to enter the film world.
In the dozens of film and television works in which she participated, in "Road Angel", Zhou Xuan was reunited with her past self, and the character was also called Xiaohong, her life experience was the same as Zhou Xuan's, she was abducted and sold at an early age, lonely and lonely, and became a singing girl. Zhou Xuan played Xiaohong, and Xiaohong also achieved Zhou Xuan.
At that time, the media held the selection of film queens, And Zhou Xuan's voice was high, and fans believed that Zhou Xuan was a well-deserved "movie queen". And Zhou Xuan herself declined, she said, why is the name of the crown after the shadow. Although he gave up the title of film queen, Zhou Xuan's fame was not affected in the slightest.
One after another of popular songs and movies, Zhou Xuan moved from the inland to Hong Kong. While filming, Zhou Xuan also took over some film interludes, such as "Night Shanghai" and "Fancy Years", which are still popular classic songs. The career is in the ascendant, but Zhou Xuan's personal feelings make people sigh. The misery of childhood is also reflected in Zhou Xuan's love. Zhou Xuan experienced four relationships in his life, and each one ended sloppily.
Yan Hua, who recommended Zhou Xuan to enter the Xinhua Opera Society, is Zhou Xuan's first love. One is a handsome composer, and the other is a pure love girl who is beautiful and sweet. In his career, Yan Hua is Zhou Xuan's life mentor; in daily life, Yan Hua is Zhou Xuan's confidant and friend who tells his heart. Talent with beauty, the two into marriage, or a good story praised by everyone.

Unfortunately, the good times were not long, and after marriage, the two gathered less and left more, and they slowly became suspicious of each other. The marriage came to an end in less than three years. After the divorce, Zhou Xuan's originally fragile and sensitive heart became more and more cold, refusing all the men who showed favor to her. Including falling in love with her second boyfriend Shi Hui, she never mentioned marriage. Soon, the relationship between the two ended without a problem.
Emotional failure has always been Zhou Xuan's scar, and it evokes Zhou Xuan's inner inferiority. At this time, Zhu Huaide appeared. Zhu Huaide frequently showed kindness to Zhou Xuan and made great offerings. Zhou Xuan thought he had found his home. As everyone knows, this is just a long-planned scam. Zhu Huaide, as a businessman and knowing how to take care of it, took away all of Zhou Xuan's property.
It wasn't until 1950 that the scam ended. At that time, Zhou Xuan and Zhu Huaide in Hong Kong, during the cohabitation, had a child. Zhou Xuan wanted to give her child a complete home and let Zhu Huaide register her marriage in Hong Kong. Zhu Huaide, on the other hand, refused with sweet words, saying that he could not wronged Zhou Xuan. When the war subsides, he will give Zhou Xuan a grand wedding in Shanghai.
Zhou Xuan believed it and was relieved to give birth in Hong Kong. Zhu Huaide, who sneaked back to Shanghai with her money, disappeared. Zhou Xuan thought it was the chaos of the war that blocked the message. But when she held her newborn child and returned to Shanghai, she appeared in front of Zhu Huaide. Instead of the sweetness of the reunion of lovers, it is the pain of the cone. Zhu Huaide turned his face and did not recognize anyone, nor did he recognize his own flesh and bones. He pointed to the child in Zhou Xuan's arms and said, Who knows if it's mine.
Zhou Xuan almost collapsed, and the crying child in his arms made Zhou Xuan wake up. Now she is a mother, and a mother is just. After breaking up with Zhu Huaide, Zhou Xuan raised her son alone. In 1951, when Zhou Xuan was filming the film "Peace Dove", he came together with the film's artist Tang Di, and Zhou Xuan also gave birth to his next son, Zhou Wei.
This period of time was one of the few happy times in Zhou Xuan's life. But the purpose of approaching Zhou Xuan was still for her money. On the eve of their marriage, Tang Di was sentenced to three years in prison by the court for fraud and rape, and the relationship also came to an end.
In his later years, Zhou Xuan
As a child, he was displaced, and several relationships were frustrated one after another, Zhou Xuan could not withstand the blow, and his mental collapse was abnormal. Under the care of his adoptive mother, he began a six-year long spiritual treatment. Unfortunately, Heaven was jealous of the red face, and the heavens did not take care of this poor woman. In 1957, zhou Xuanxiang, who was only 37 years old, died of jade loss, leaving two young children.
"The lights are up, the cars are sounding, and the songs and dances are leveling." Only to see her, smiling face, who knows her inner bitterness..." "Night Shanghai" is still singing the afterglow of the old Shanghai, and Zhou Xuan, after a generation of songs, has long disappeared into the red dust of history.
