Speaking of star chasing, this is not a patent created by modern people, the so-called crazy rice circle and obsessed with stars have been very mature as early as the Republic of China period. In ancient times, fanatical fans of the Peking Opera circle threw gold and silver jewelry on the stage, and now there are fans of Shanghai Beach who are on the street to mourn the soul of the incense. And the person who still alarmed shanghai beach after his death was the mainland actress at that time, Ruan Lingyu.
Ruan Lingyu was born in Shanghai, as a native of the south, her temperament is also gentle and gentle in jiangnan water town, and her adolescent and later emotional experiences also make her body more tragic. On March 8, 1935, ruan lingyu, who was only twenty-five years old, committed suicide by taking medicine, which caused a sensation on the beach.
When Ruan Lingyu was six years old, her father died of illness, and Ruan Lingyu and her mother depended on each other. In order to support her daughter, her mother had to work as a maid in a rich family to earn money. Ruan Lingyu also began to live under the fence.
In 1918, Ruan Lingyu was sent by her mother to a local private school in Shanghai to learn cultural knowledge, and the name "Ruan Yuying" was used in the private school. A year later, at the request of Ruan Lingyu's mother, the employer who was the trustee of Chongde Girls' School at the time stepped in and let Ruan Lingyu enter Chongde Girls' School at half the price of tuition.
In 1925, Zhang Damin, the son of his mother's employer, fell in love with Ruan Lingyu, who was in the second year of junior high school, but this relationship was strongly opposed by Mrs. Zhang's wife, in order not to let her son make a mistake again and again, Mrs. Zhang hastily sent Ruan Lingyu's mother and daughter, and there was no master-servant friendship left for more than ten years, and Ruan Lingyu had to withdraw from Chongde Girls' School.
In 1926, at the age of sixteen, Ruan Lingyu began her path of film art under the recommendation of director Zhang Huichong. After the release of her debut film "Nominal Couple", Ruan Lingyu also officially entered the audience's field of vision. In the same year, Ruan Lingyu's partners Yang Naimei and Zheng Xiaoqiu starred in her first feature film, "Beijing Yang Guifei".
In this film, Ruan Lingyu contributed her own spirited performance, playing the versatile social flower Yang Xiaozhen. In the decade or so since, Ruan Lingyu has one or two works released almost every year. Whether it is a feature film, a comedy short film, or a love story, Ruan Lingyu's extremely talented and spirited performance has been recognized by the audience.
In the 80th year of Ruan Lingyu's departure, she was named "the 100th most outstanding film actor in the history of Chinese cinema" by the Hundred Flowers Awards. In 2010, in order to commemorate Ruan Lingyu, the "First Shanghai Sino-foreign Silent Film Exhibition" was held. These recognitions of later generations also highlight Nguyen's achievements in the history of cinema.
Ruan Lingyu's bumpy emotional journey began with Zhang Damin, the son of Ruan Lingyu's mother's employer and six years older than Ruan Lingyu. Ruan Lingyu, who was a junior in the chongde girls' school at the time, fell in love with the employer's son and began to live with Zhang Damin in Hongqingfang.
In this relationship with Zhang Damin, Ruan Lingyu is just the role of a little girl who is addicted to love during her adolescence. But Zhang, as a rich second generation who is clumsy and hedonistic, is not diligent and grainless, and after having no financial resources, he threatens Ruan Lingyu, who is already famous with private photos, and Ruan Lingyu has to give him money again and again.
In 1932, the "1.28 Incident" broke out, in order to escape the war, Ruan Lingyu came to Hong Kong and met a wealthy tea merchant at a cocktail party, Tang Jishan. Later, Ruan Lingyu returned to Shanghai, and Ruan Lingyu, who was not threatened by Zhang Damin, found someone to help zhang Damin in the name of work.
Later, under the sweet words of the tea merchants, Ruan Lingyu surrendered her weapons and surrendered. But at that time, Ruan Lingyu did not expect that this tea chamber would become another nightmare for her. After Ruan Lingyu began dating the tea merchant, she learned that the tea merchant already had a family, and the tea merchant explained to Ruan Lingyu that he would never divorce his wife.
The disaster is not alone, here Ruan Lingyu has not yet recovered from Tang Jishan's family affair, and Zhang Damin has sued both of them in court. Suddenly, rumors were rife, major media and tabloids reported on this matter, no media would let go of this opportunity to report on well-known actors in the film industry, Ruan Lingyu fell into the torrent of public opinion and could not extricate herself.
In this torrent, the tea merchant did not choose to take Ruan Lingyu's hand to face it together, but instead beat a rake and found a new joy, leaving Ruan Lingyu alone to bear the gossip. Not only that, he often scolded Ruan Lingyu, which made Ruan Lingyu feel exhausted.
In 1934, Ruan Lingyu, who had an unshakable position in the film industry, starred in the movie "New Woman", and became closer and closer to director Cai Chusheng because of her work. But later, the director, who already had a wife in his hometown, worried about his reputation, did not stay with Ruan Lingyu.
On March 8, 1935, the exhausted Ruan Lingyu wrote two suicide notes with a pen at his residence in Shanghai, and after explaining everything before and after his death, Ruan Lingyu opened the medicine bottle containing sleeping pills and ended her life at the age of twenty-five.
At 6:38 p.m. on the same day, due to the excessive amount of sleeping pills taken and the best rescue time, a generation of film legends died. As soon as the news of her suicide came out, the fanatical fans could not believe the facts, and they were so sad that some fanatical fans even committed suicide with her and left this world.
On March 14, Ruan Lingyu's coffin departed from the Shanghai Wanguo Guesthouse and was sent to the Lianyi Mountain Cemetery. At the funeral site, countless fans followed Ruan Lingyu's hearse, as well as the media reporter of the New York Times at the time, and even many well-known figures in the film industry such as Jin Yan attended the funeral, and about 300,000 people paid for her funeral and carried the coffin to the hearse.
Ruan Lingyu's life is undoubtedly full of tragedy. Whether it is the loss of her father with her mother when she was a child, or the later encounter with people who are not Shushu and many times of emotional mispayment, and then to the later heart exhaustion and taking medicine to commit suicide, Ruan Lingyu's life seems to have never been lucky, which may also be the reason why she can always accurately and quickly grasp the character of the character when performing tragic characters.
But Ruan Lingyu's life is also wonderful, and the enviable genius comprehension coupled with her own continuous efforts has made Ruan Lingyu. Sixteen years old into the film industry, the first birth of the calf, it was a sensation, and the films she participated in were also explosive, and in the thirty-nine films in which she experienced art, the classics of the masterpieces were frequently published, so that her name and awards were still in the awards ceremony of the later film festivals.
Ruan Lingyu integrated her misfortune into the film role, but failed to get out of the pain through the film role. Poetry has clouds: Don't worry about hard work, everything has a destiny. Ruan Lingyu's choice to commit suicide may be another way of liberation in her tragic and legendary life.
