Li Lizhen, a famous "student lover" in Hong Kong in the 90s.
A "Peach Ripe" beheaded countless men and became the famous queen of third-level films.
A "Jade Futon Jade Girl Heart Sutra", which brought out Shu Qi, achieved the glory of another queen.
The most colorful stroke on Li Lizhen is her cooperation with director Xu Anhua in "A Thousand Words".
With this film, she jumped from a third-level queen to a golden horse queen.
A Thousand Words
From the current point of view, Xu Anhua's choice of Li Lizhen is indeed a wise eye.
But at that time, the big director of literary and art films chose a third-level actress to be the heroine, which was actually a bit strange.
Although later the film both won the Golden Horse Award and the Academy Award for Best Film.
But in the mainland, this film has become a taboo work because the subject matter is too sensitive.
Hong Kong, 1979.
Shao Dong (Lee Kang-sang), who smuggled his mother to Hong Kong, is passing the time in the game hall.
The mother was a black workshop doctor who specialized in abortions, and she was often an alcoholic, and when she got drunk, she did not beat people and scold people.
The sensitive and introverted ShaoDong hates getting along with his mother the most.
It is in this small game hall that Su Fengdi (Li Lizhen) steals his wallet.
He chased him out, but the girl ran away in a boat with a giggle.
He thought about sitting on the beach and waiting, always waiting for her to return, but he forgot that the boatman's home was on the boat.
Shao Dong was not reconciled, and after a few days he went out to sea to find Feng Di for a wallet.
Here, he saw Feng Di kneeling in front of the spirit, with a pitiful appearance and pity.
A fire, many boat families were buried in the sea of fire, Feng Di's family of six, only she was left.
The surviving boat owners want to defend their rights and ask the government to arrange housing for them and allocate houses.
The Government believes that giving priority to arranging housing for boat owners is unfair to other waiting personnel.
But the boat owners believe that we are obviously the earliest aborigines in Hong Kong, how come we don't even have the right to live ashore?
The radical youth who took the lead in petitioning the British government in Hong Kong is called Ming Kuan (Played by Tse Chun Ho).
Feng Di listened to his impassioned speech and watched his efforts to protect the rights and interests of boat owners, and felt admiration and dependence.
Because of her love, Feng Di followed Ming Kuan and threw herself into various rights defense movements.
Because of love, Shao Dong followed Feng Di and also threw himself into the turbulent activities.
Shao Dong knew that Feng Di didn't have himself in his heart, and he had never fantasized about what would happen to her.
Forbearance and care are all his love for Feng Di.
Feng Di knows that Ming kuan has another girlfriend, but she still stays by his side, supports him at work, and is ambiguous in life.
Forbearance and support is all her love for Mingkuan.
It is different from Feng Di and Shao Dong's forbearance in dealing with feelings and dealing with people in the world.
Radical is the background of Ming Kuan's person.
He said: Ignorance is a sin, and knowing not to say it adds to the first degree of sin.
Therefore, he used his entire youth and all his energy to tell the "injustice" he saw.
That decade was a turbulent decade in Hong Kong, and all kinds of regimes, all kinds of parties, all kinds of people were touted and beaten down.
Boat owners ashore, undocumented mothers, brides on the water... Mingkuan presided over one movement after another.
Later, he found that as a civilian, no matter how much he petitioned, he was still a soft-spoken person, and no one would take you seriously.
In order to give weight to his words, he decided to enter politics and become a member of the authorities.
The moment the idealist bows to reality, everything has a weak footnote.
This is also the epitome of the lives of many idealists.
Hong Kong is changing, and the wheel of history is rolling forward.
Ming Kuan finally collapsed in front of the wheel of history, and he was panicked for ten years, as if it were a moment.
Feng Di followed him, because he was pregnant, aborted for him, for ten years, saying that he did not regret it, but in his heart he chose to forget.
Shao Dong, the man who silently blew the harmonica while accompanying Feng Di to have an abortion, finally made his choice with silence.
In addition, there is a strong character in the film, Gan Haowang (huang Qiusheng).
This is a figure who really existed in history and is still alive today.
Ben was an Italian priest who was infected by socialist ideas and resolutely wanted to come to China.
I have been carrying two books in my hand for many years, one is the Bible and the other is the Quotations of Chairman Mao.
On the way to the mainland, he diverted to Hong Kong, stopped for many years, and also participated in various movements in Hong Kong.
In order to protect the rights and interests of the people, he went on hunger strike for many days.
When asked if it was worth it or not, whether it was useful, he replied:
"There is no use tomorrow is not to be seen,
There are some things that I can't see even the day I think I died. ”
In him, you can really see the brilliance of some idealists.
Even if someone else makes a mistake and scolds him, he will reflect on himself after the fact:
"I scolded him, thinking that I was better than him, that I knew how to care about others better than him, but in fact it was already a kind of vanity.
May I regain my humility, serve the masses, and ask the Lord for forgiveness."
In Shaodong's upbringing, he gave his father-like teachings.
After a campaign, Shao Dong began to have doubts:
"The activities they did had no effect on Xiao Gan.
He always said that he could not take care of himself.
In this world, it is difficult for good people to do. ”
Good people are hard to do, so Father Gan believes that it is better to be a good person.
Good movies are difficult to make, so Xu Anhua believes that it is more important to make good movies.
In the box office king film market, Xu Anhua is like a clear stream.
Her films, always have a sense of home and country, humanistic care, and have never bowed their heads to business.
In order to shoot "A Thousand Words", Xu Anhua scattered his family property.
In this political film cloaked in love, she utters a thousand words about hong Kong's changes.
Because of this, this film has become a taboo in China and has never been released.
Even if it shined at the Golden Horse Awards and the Golden Film Awards, it did not stir up more splashes in the mainland.
Correspondingly, although Li Lizhen became the queen of the Golden Horse, she did not get much attention because of this.
At the beginning, Li Lizhen was going to retreat from the torrent and announced that she would not accept the third-level movie.
However, in order to let Li Lizhen praise Shu Qi, who is still a newcomer, Wang Jing spent 4 million yuan to invite Li Lizhen out of the mountain, and only then did she have the later "Jade Futon Jade Girl Heart Sutra".
Whether it is in the third-level film or in the major awards, Li Lizhen obviously has to achieve success earlier.
However, after "A Thousand Words", she was caught in various scandals, and her career plummeted.
Peaches go from ripe to decaying, but only a few years.
