In general, women's life expectancy is longer than that of men, but in the film and television industry, the artistic lifespan of male actors is significantly longer than that of female actors. For example, in the Hong Kong film and television circle, Andy Lau, Leung Chao-wai, Aaron Kwok, Ren Dahua, Gu Tianle and many other film emperor-level male actors are still active in the front line; and the actresses of the film post-level are almost only one Hui Yinghong who has entered the second spring of her career.
So, where have all those goddess-level actresses in the glory days of Hong Kong cinema gone?
Actors eat youth, so many actors retire from the circle when they are older, or retreat into the background, and some are willing to accept some supporting roles and marginal roles. After male actors get old, they will choose to transform more, while actresses are more likely to directly quit the circle and marry.
The transformation can be slow, but marrying people cannot wait for the old age to act, so those goddess-level actors who choose to retire from the circle and marry in the glorious years of Hong Kong cinema are all in the right age of red.
The following is the timetable of the Hong Kong film goddess:
In 1991, Zhong Chuhong, 31 years old;
In 1991, Zheng Wenya, 31 years old;
In 1991, Ye Qianwen was 30 years old;
In 1991, Xie Ning was 28 years old;

Among these goddess-level actresses, most of them married into the rich and officially quit the entertainment circle in the year of marriage, including Zhong Chuhong, Zheng Wenya, Wu Wanfang, Gao Lihong, Li Zhi, Huang Xingxiu, Lin Qingxia, Ye Yuqing, Luo Meiwei, Li Meifeng, Li Jiaxin, Qiu Shuzhen, Hu Huizhong, Li Zi, and so on.
Among them, Gao Lihong, Li Zhi, Huang Xingxiu and Luo Meiwei are all married to famous male stars in the Chinese entertainment industry, Such as Hong Jinbao, Jet Li, Chen Baixiang and Jacky Cheung.
Wu Wanfang, the runner-up of the 1986 Hong Kong sister who retired from the circle at the age of 24 and married at the age of 26, is the representative of the actress who married into the giants; the frozen age after marriage for many years also proves the happiness of her married life.
Ye Qianwen, who only married Lin Zixiang in 1997, quit the film industry in order to concentrate on the development of her singing career, and her achievements in the music industry are far higher than those in the film industry.
It is more regrettable that Wang Zuxian was 27 years old when he withdrew, did not marry, and was still alone many years later, and then he also came back to make several movies, all of which were mediocre and the ending was lamentable.
It is even more regrettable that Zhong Chuhong, who was only 31 years old when he was in the shadow, has now been in the shadow for 30 years; when he married, he married true love, but her husband Zhu Jiading died of illness in 2007, after which Zhong Chuhong chose to stay alone for life.
There are even more embarrassing examples, Xia Wenxi, whose original name was Deng Liqun, was married as early as 1989; made a brief comeback in 1996, stopped again in 2002, and made a second comeback in 2010. So repeatedly, in fact, it is related to her married life.
In recent years, Ye Yuqing has comeback to shoot dramas, and it is also rumored that her husband's business has gone wrong.
Qiu Shuzhen is the type of the most prosperous husband, after marriage, her husband's business is becoming more and more prosperous, and she is very beautiful to have three daughters, and she is even expected to debut.
Bo Anne's achievements in the film industry are not high, but she has given birth to a very potential daughter Xu Enyi, who played the heroine in this year's youth film "The Sky of burning wild teenagers" and received a lot of positive evaluations.
The most dashing should be Lin Qingxia, who once had a splendid love history and a sensational love story in the entertainment industry, married a rich businessman with a baby at the age of 40, and gave birth to two daughters after marriage.
Outside of her family life, Lin Qingxia has been writing for many years and has published 3 collections of essays.
In 2015, Lin Qingxia participated in the variety reality show "Idol Is Coming", and what she saw was still her trademark bold laughter; in front of a group of little girls who were dozens of years younger than her, Lin Qingxia was still the most radiant.
The most regrettable thing is definitely Xiao Fangfang, after experiencing two marriages, Xiao Fangfang can still win the international film queen laurel with her strength; finally helplessly quit the film industry, mainly because of deaf ears and is no longer suitable for film shooting.
The most legendary should be Yang Baoling, as the winner of Miss Hong Kong in 1987, Yang Baoling's achievements in the film industry are very average, and she has also experienced a failed marriage. However, Yang Baoling is now a successful business strongwoman and co-founder of a famous jewelry group company.
In fact, it is the moment when this group of goddess-level actresses have withdrawn from the circle, and an era is over.
