On September 14, 1994, the famous actress Hong Xuefei was killed in a car accident in a ravine in Xinjiang at the age of 53. At this time, Although Hong Xuefei is more than 50 years old, he is at the peak of his career. Before that, the "Ah Qing Sister-in-law" she portrayed in "Sha Jiabin" deeply touched the hearts of the audience, and also made everyone like her more and more, and regarded her as an idol.
On the day the news of Hong Xuefei's death was broadcast, her fans and fans could not believe it, they could not accept the news of the sudden death of their idol, and they all thought that it was just a mistake. It was not until the farewell ceremony of Hong Xuefei's body that everyone sadly accepted this bad news.
When Hong Xuefei's husband Liu Bihan learned of his wife's death, he was also momentarily devastated and could not get out of his grief for a long time. He never imagined that his wife, who had been standing in front of him well a day ago, would suddenly leave him in such a way. In the end, her husband missed his wife in a special way.
In 1968, a revolutionary modern Peking Opera "Shajiabin" produced by the Beijing Peking Opera Troupe came into people's eyes. In an excerpt from the play, "Wisdom Fight", the role of "Ah Qing Sister-in-law" left a deep impression on the audience. And Hong Xuefei, who played the role of "Ah Qing's sister-in-law", also got everyone's attention instantly. Although the role of "Ah Qing Sister-in-law" can be said to have made Hong Xuefei famous in one fell swoop, Hong Xuefei's life is full of many misfortunes.
Hong Xuefei was born in Shanghai in 1941, with his ancestral home in Shexian County, Anhui Province. Hong Xuefei's father was a tea merchant who had to run around because he wanted to do business. After Hong Xuefei was born, Hong Xuefei's father saw that Hong Xuefei was just a girl, and he was particularly disappointed, so Hong Xuefei's father left them and quietly left.
After being abandoned by his father, Hong Xuefei and his mother and sister had no source of livelihood for a while, in order to support their two daughters, Hong Xuefei's mother went to work for people, and Hong Xuefei's sister was responsible for taking care of Hong Xuefei's daily life, and life was very hard.
Accompanied by his sister, Hong Xuefei also grew up slowly. Because he has lived hard since he was a child, Hong Xuefei has developed a particularly independent personality, not only is he not afraid of hardship, astute and capable, but also people are beautiful. In 1958, the 18-year-old Hong Xuefei was admitted to the Beikun training class, but at this time, she encountered a problem, because although she was successfully admitted to the school, she had no foundation in drama at all.
In order to be able to keep up with other students as soon as possible, Hong Xuefei worked very hard and put all his energy into learning. With his fierceness and ingenuity, Hong Xuefei has made great progress. The teacher Li Shujun was impressed by her intentions and efforts, so he took her in as his apprentice. After four years of hard work, Hong Xuefei stood out among Li Shujun's apprentices and became the only successor of the top Danjiao.
In 1967, Hong Xuefei received the news that the Beijing Peking Opera Troupe was recruiting the heroine of "Sha Jiabin", so Hong Xuefei volunteered and took the initiative to sign up for an audition. After the audition, she got unanimous affirmation from everyone, so Hong Xuefei successfully won the role of "Ah Qing Sister-in-law". After the program was broadcast, the "Ah Qing Sister-in-law" played by Hong Xuefei instantly left a deep impression on the audience, and Hong Xuefei also entered the audience's field of vision, and Hong Xuefei did not think at that time that the role of "Ah Qing Sister-in-law" would make her famous in one fell swoop.
After becoming famous, Hong Xuefei still did not stop her efforts, she has participated in many Kunqu opera performances, and these classic songs she participated in have left a deep impression on the audience. In the Kunqu opera "Sending Jing Niang in a Thousand Miles" starring with Hou Shaokui, hong Xuefei deeply touched the audience with the image of "Jing Niang" and left a profound artistic image for the audience. Even now, some old Kunqu fans who have watched her performance still remember the "Jing Niang" she played.
In 1983, when the Kun Theatre was preparing to rehearse the repertoire of "The Hall of Eternal Life", there was a disagreement over the casting of the role of Yang Guifei. When the leaders of the hospital proposed to let Hong Xuefei play the role of Yang Guifei, the people below suddenly put forward different opinions, because they felt that Hong Xuefei was not feminine enough, and Yang Guifei's biggest feature was charming. Although there are different voices, in the end, the leaders of the academy decided to let Hong Xuefei play this role, and Hong Xuefei secretly made a lot of efforts in order to eliminate everyone's doubts and create a vivid Yang Guifei.
Soon the day of the performance came, when the audience saw the delicate and graceful Hong Xuefei on the stage, they immediately regarded her as Yang Guifei. Hong Xuefei left a deep impression on the audience with her feminine figure, expression and movements, as well as her beautiful singing voice.
And those staff who were still questioning Hong Xuefei's failure to play Yang Guifei before were finally deeply impressed by her performance and immersed in her agile performance. After this performance, Hong Xuefei's fame rose another level, and this performance not only received recognition from the audience, but also received praise from many people in the industry.
When Hong Xuefei was working in the Beijing Peking Opera Troupe, she met her husband Liu Bihan, and at that time, she had already gained a lot of fame by relying on the role of "Ah Qing Sister-in-law". Unlike Hong Xuefei's achievements and fame, Liu Bihan was still only a small staff member in the beijing Opera House performance office at this time, although his achievements were far inferior to Hong Xuefei, but Liu Bihan was not inferior at all in front of Hong Xuefei. After the two people came together because of their personalities, they began to fall in love. In 1980, the two resolutely decided to hold hands and enter the palace of marriage.
The two men were still in love with each other after marriage and soon gave birth to a daughter. After the birth of his daughter, Hong Xuefei still could not let go of his career, and at that time in China, almost everyone lived in the traditional concept, and in the traditional concept of China, women should teach their children at home after marriage, take care of their husbands and children.
Just when Hong Xuefei was in trouble, Liu Bihan stood up and said softly to her: "Although you are relieved to go to your business, there is me at home!" Liu Bihan's words gave Hong Xuefei great encouragement, so shortly after the birth of his daughter, Hong Xuefei recovered his figure as soon as possible and returned to the stage to perform.
Even in a later interview, Liu Bihan said in front of the media with a smile: "In art, my wife is higher than me, and I have nothing to do, I can only become her logistics minister, so that she can do her own business without worries, and create more and better stage images." ”
In the 14 years after their marriage, Liu Bihan single-mindedly took care of their daughter, and the family was also well taken care of by him, and Hong Xuefei also created one unforgettable artistic image after another on the stage because of his strong backing.
In September 1994, in order to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the establishment of the plant, the Karamay refinery in Xinjiang specially invited Hong Xue to fly to the refinery to perform. At the beginning, Hong Xuefei considered the long distance in Xinjiang and his busy schedule, so he wanted to politely refuse. However, after hearing about this invitation, her husband Liu Bihan encouraged her to accept it, and in Liu Bihan's view, the refinery invited her so sincerely, which is enough to show that the people of Xinjiang love her, and if she does not go, everyone should be very disappointed. After listening to her husband's words, Hong Xuefei took over.
On September 13, Hong Xuefei boarded a plane to Urumqi, Xinjiang. In the early morning of September 14, the plane arrived at Urumqi Airport, and after Hong Xuefei and his party got off the plane, they got into the van sent by the refinery to pick them up. After getting into the car, Hong Xuefei fell asleep in the back row due to fatigue, and at this time, she did not know that a catastrophe was about to fall on her head.
The driver of this van, Jia Guiping, should have had a good rest on the afternoon of the 13th, but after coming to Urumqi, he did not have a good rest, but instead walked around the street, and walked around until the evening, so he did not close his eyes at all, and after the car traveled more than 200 kilometers, sleepiness struck.
At about 4:30 a.m., when the car was still 10 kilometers away from the refinery, Jia Guiping finally closed his eyes. But at this moment, the car lost its direction and rushed straight down the roadbed more than three meters deep on the side of the road. After the van rolled several times in a row, the glass was shattered, and Hong Xuefei, who was asleep in the back row, flew out uncontrollably and was thrown far away from the car.
After the people escaped from the car, they immediately called the emergency number, but in the end, Hong Xuefei still lost his life. In this way, Hong Xuefei left this world at the peak of his career. And the van driver Jia Guiping. He was sentenced to two years in prison, suspended for traffic accidents.
After learning the news of Hong Xuefei's unfortunate death, everyone was deeply saddened, especially Hong Xuefei's husband Liu Bihan, who could not get out of his grief for a long time.
On the morning of October 9, 1994, Hong Xuefei's family held a farewell ceremony for her body. At that farewell ceremony, nearly 600 industry insiders arrived at the scene, and several responsible persons from Beijing also attended the farewell ceremony. In addition to these, many fans of Hong Xuefei's drama also came to the scene, holding white chrysanthemums and tearfully sending this great artist to the last journey of his life.
Later, in order to mourn his wife, Liu Bihan paid for the establishment of the "Hong Xuefei Encouragement Award", which was specially used to reward those drama actors who performed well. In this particular way, he missed his wife.
