The Republic of China is an era of strange women.
There is a talented talented woman Zhang Ailing, there is a female stock god in the Republic of China era, but she mistakenly paid for her life Yu Fengzhi": The tragedy of the female stock god of the Republic of China: waiting for her husband for 50 years, after all, it is wrong to pay", and Meng Xiaodong, who dares to love and dare to hate, boldly "Xiufu", "She is the first person in the Republic of China", after issuing a hard-core divorce statement, she was pampered by the shanghai beach gangsters"...
What I want to tell you today is that in the 20s and 30s of the last century, Shanghai Beach was a brilliant post-film superstar, who not only has an unobstructed beauty, but also has a sober insight wisdom in the world.
You know, in that chaotic world, having the ultimate beauty is not necessarily a good thing.
But she can face the twists and turns of life's fate, and handle her feelings, life, and career with ease, definitely because of her clear mind and ability to survive in a chaotic world.
She is the queen who straddles the era of chinese cinema in silence and sound: Hu Die.
She starred in "Song Girl Red Peony", the first sound film in China, and won the film queen in the "Movie Queen" and "Chinese Film Queen" competitions by Star Daily.
Until her death at the age of 81, she was still able to win the "Chinese Film Century Awards Selection - Actress Award".
It can be said that Hu Die's contributions and achievements to the Chinese film industry are definitely at a milestone level. Her life experiences and emotional stories are also lamentable.
The courage to stop losses in time
Butterfly was born in a year alternating between old and new, and in 1908, both Cixi and Guangxu died, and the Qing Dynasty, which had lasted for more than two hundred years, collapsed.
In such a chaotic world, the great beauty Hu Di was born in an enlightened house.
Her parents allowed her to study and be educated, and at the age of 16, the China Film Academy enrolled students, and Hu Die, who had bright eyes and bright teeth and pear swirls, decided to take the exam.
In order to stand out among the many candidates, she creatively combed a horizontal S hairstyle, pinned a large flower on the left placket, long earrings flowing down from the earlobes, and wore a long skirt with a rounded short jacket, which was very eye-catching.
Coupled with her already outstanding appearance, she became the first and only student of the China Film School.
Here, she received a systematic professional education in film and television. It includes more than ten courses such as Introduction to Film and Drama, Film Administration, History of Modern Western Drama, and Directing, Makeup, Dance, and Singing. This also laid the foundation for her solid professional skills. (That's a film and television major from more than a hundred years ago, and it's really remarkable.) ）
In order to better adapt to the role, she learned skills such as riding a horse and driving during her studies, and a heroic and cheerful actress quickly jumped from a dragon suit with only a few shots to a female number one.
She studied diligently, speaking Cantonese, Hokkien, Shanghainese, and even went to Beijing to learn standard Mandarin.
At that time, the actress who was equally famous with her, as well as Ruan Lingyu, who we all know well. Hu Die herself said: "On acting skills, I am inferior to Ah Nguyen."
▲ Ruan Lingyu
Ruan Lingyu's innate spirituality in her bones belongs to God's appreciation of rice. But Ruan Lingyu's short life of too emotional made her deep in love and failed to end well.
Hu Di is different, although she does not have such a good spirituality, but she is expensive and diligent.
She had to do anything to the extreme, and she starred in the first wax disc-pronounced sound film, "Singer Red Peony", when dubbing in the post-production, she could work non-stop in the studio for seven hours.
She is a girl who knows how to enter the world, compared to Ruan Lingyu, who immerses herself in film and television characters, falls in love until she is neurotic, she can play the role of a public figure and a social celebrity, and generously walk in the social field where people from all sides gather.
Zhang Hexhui (the author of "The Golden Powder Family") once commented on her as: "For people to fall generously, wash the state of a daughter." Deep personality, alert and sharp, if compared with the characters of the Red Chamber, then 56 out of 10 if Baochao, 23 out of 10 if attacking people, 1/1/2 if Qingwen. ”
This metaphor is also quite accurate, and the style of Hu Die is vividly depicted in one sentence. There is not only Xue Baochao's exquisite wisdom, but also the gentleness and moving of the attacker, but also a little bit of the directness and coolness of the attacker.
When starring in "Autumn Fan Complaint", she met her first love. In the play, he and the male protagonist Lin Xuehuai played a pair of lovers, because of the drama, the two people began to fall in love outside the play, and made a marriage contract.
But the good times are not long, and Hu Die's fame is getting bigger and bigger, which makes Lin Xuehuai, who is also an actor, feel very unbearable. He simply left the acting industry and decided to go into business.
But Lin Xuehuai, who did not have a business mind, opened a restaurant and lost a mess, inferiority made him angry and ashamed, after the broken jar was broken, he put the sin of business failure on Hu Die's head, and also took Hu Die's money to engage in ambiguity with other women.
Hu Die was greatly hurt by the love, but the failure of the relationship did not defeat her. She decided to break the marriage contract and break up with Lin Xuehuai.
You know, at that time, Lin Xuehuai still had to rely on Hu Di for money, so it was obviously not so easy to break up. In a whole year, Hu Die went to court eight times, and the "Butterfly Snow Termination Case" that she broke up with Lin Xuehuai caused a sensation in the whole Shanghai Beach.
Eventually she got rid of the scumbag and regained her freedom.
Immediately make a decision and stop the loss in time, this is the attitude of the butterfly to the scumbag.
Ruan Lingyu, who was also scum, stayed in a bad relationship for hundreds of turns, did not know how to stop the loss in time, so that she finally swallowed the drug and committed suicide.
Ruan Lingyu's story, if you want to see, rice grain mother can also write a separate Oh ~
Face stigma is not humble
In the complicated Vanity Fair, Hu Die, who has beauty and excellent diplomatic ability, will naturally bear too much gossip and criticism.
Ruan Lingyu was unable to withstand the pressure of public opinion, and before swallowing the medicine and committing suicide, she kept repeating: "People's words are terrible!" Give a dog a bad name and hang him! ”。
But Hu Die has an unusually strong heart, and in the face of Internet violence, she has never been afraid. At the beginning, the angry scumbag was not afraid of the lawsuit, and now he is equally fearless in the face of Internet violence.
After the outbreak of the "918" incident, the folk spread the big melon: Zhang Xueliang sang and danced with the red pink lady Hu Die at the Six Kingdoms Hotel in Beiping.
Overnight, the melon quickly fermented, and Hu Di became a "bad artist" in the country with a red face.
Hu Die issued two consecutive Weibo debunking statements:
"Although the butterfly is also a member of the people, although it has not yet been able to splash the enemy with the blood of the neck, how can it dance with those who bear the responsibility of defending the land at the time of national disaster?"
Meaning: My butterfly is also a bloody Chinese, although he can't hand blade enemies, but at the moment of national difficulties, how can he dance with the warriors who are responsible for guarding the land and spread gossip?
Then just leave it behind and ignore it. Comments section? People don't look at it at all.
Half a century later, the elderly Hu Die said lightly about this matter in an interview:
"I don't really care, if I'm so serious about every rumor, I can't survive." Zhang Xueliang and I danced for nearly half a century. Isn't it all clarified now? ”
It's a real big heart!
Facts have proved that for the great winds and waves that Hu Die has experienced in his life, this wave of rumors and storms is indeed just a drizzle. The big melon in the back is the real melon.
After ending her love affair with her first love, Lin Xuehuai, Hu Die met Pan Yousheng, a modest and generous businessman. They were married after 4 years in love and had a happy and comfortable married life.
▲ Hu Di and Pan Yousheng
Together they run the business, the days and the beauty of the peace. After the Japanese army captured Shanghai, the couple went to Hong Kong to escape the war.
But in that chaotic world, for a movie star like Hu Die, the quiet years are a luxury.
In 1937, the Japanese army occupied Hong Kong. The Japanese also knew that Hu Die was a famous movie star, and the Japanese approached her and asked her to shoot the drama "Hu Die's Tour to Tokyo".
Hu Die did not promise the Japanese, while delaying the Japanese, while trying to find a way to escape.
It was chiang kai-shek who moved the capital Nanjing to Chongqing at that time, so Hu Di and his wife decided to go to Chongqing.
However, in the process of packing their luggage, they wanted to transport away the gold and silver in their homes, and 30 large boxes of precious calligraphy and paintings. But unexpectedly, when the two people arrived in Chongqing, they didn't know that things had been robbed halfway.
In order to retrieve these treasures, the two men had to entrust help to them, and they entrusted them to the head of dai Kasa, the head of the military command.
▲Dai Kasa
This operation is really fatal, Dai Kasa is Hu Die's brain powder, a ashes-level movie fan. When I heard that this matter was put on my head, I couldn't sleep with joy.
He happily agreed to the two men's request, thinking that he would finally have the opportunity to extend an olive branch to his goddess.
At that time, Dai Kasa's power was monstrous, and he recovered the lost things in less than two weeks. But many of the belongings inside were sold.
Dai Kasa bought a brand new set according to the list of items, completed it and put it in the box and returned it to Hu Die.
A woman like Hu Die, who is exquisite and transparent, can see at a glance that everything is newly bought, and naturally understands Dai Kasa's intention in doing so.
Thinking about the safety of herself, her husband and children, and then thinking about the situation under the fence, she knew that she was already passive.
When Dai Kasa asked her meaningfully, "Are these things?" ”
She replied softly, "Yes." ”
This acquiescence was naturally the choice of a mature woman like her who had insight into the world, and Dai Kasa launched a fierce pursuit of her from then on, and found a business for her husband Pan Yousheng to let him run, and then took the opportunity to arrange for him to leave For Burma.
As soon as Pan Yousheng left, Dai Kasa took Hu Die to his residence and occupied Hu Die as soon as he came and went.
After chasing the "dream lover" and "idol in his heart", Dai Kasa used the ultimate pampering to vent this ecstasy.
Not to mention whether Hu Die is forced to bend or half push and half push, dai Kasa's cool spoiling operation is difficult to carry.
She wanted to eat the fruits of the south, so he immediately used his power to send planes to airlift from India, which was a good hand for "public aircraft for private use";
She said the slippers were uncomfortable, and he made a phone call to get all kinds of shoes for her to pick;
She casually said that the windows were small and the light was dark, and he hurriedly ordered that another garden house be built for her in front of the mansion, and several laborers were exhausted in order to build this house;
He also chose the auspicious place name and beautiful environment of the fairy cave to build a residence, in order to get the car directly to the door, save her climbing pain, he personally measured the terrain to repair the lane, it is said that in order to build this residence, he directly razed the local house to the ground, so that the residents were displaced.
It can be said that the labor of the people has hurt the money to the extreme! The price of this pampering is really a bit big ha ~ ~ ~
At the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Dai Kasa proposed to marry Hu Die, and at that time he had already secretly forced Pan Yousheng to sign the divorce declaration. However, on the eve of the wedding, Dai Kasa died in an accidental air crash. The wedding was not completed, and the butterfly regained her freedom.
Understand the softness and toughness of the world
After Dai's death, Hu Die and her ex-husband Pan Yousheng broke the mirror and returned to Live in Hong Kong again.
She was 40 years old. She finally escaped from the "golden wire cage" and re-emerged on the screen of her beloved.
She is no longer the beautiful beauty of Miaoling, and when she reaches middle age, she clearly knows that it is time for her to transform.
She began to take on the image of some middle-aged supporting roles, and her professional acting skills and serious attitude made her quickly adapt to the new positioning. The 52-year-old Hu Die and Li Hanxiang collaborated on "Back Door", which also won the best actress at the 7th Asian Film Festival.
The quiet days of the years can finally be relived, she and her husband run the "Butterfly brand" warm water bottle business, the two of them have a prosperous life and career, and their children are well educated.
Until Pan Yousheng died of liver cancer, when he was dying, he took her hand and said:
"I'm really sorry for you, the days ahead are still very long, and the two sons and daughters will rely on you alone!"
It sounds like an understatement of a dying last word, but it hides that turbulent and thrilling past.
In her later years, Hu Di changed her name to Pan Baojuan, "Pan" is the surname of her deceased husband, and "Baojuan" is her own childhood name. Included in the name is the man she loves in her heart, and the simple and clean self.
In her later years, Hu Die lived in an apartment near the sea in Vancouver, and in the warm sun and salty sea breeze, she calmly went shopping alone, or asked a good friend to play mahjong.
Hu Die, who died of illness at the age of 81, said his last words before his death: "The butterfly is going to fly away." ”
This beautiful woman, who remained poetic in her old age, maintained her elegance until the very end of her life.
Hu Butterfly's whole life, like a brilliant flower, bloomed in the chaotic wind and rain. She is rational and open-minded, soft in the chaotic world to protect herself and her family, without fear of rumors and power.
In her old age, Hu Di talked about the years she lived with Dai Kasa, saying:
"As for the trivial matters of personal life, although there are false rumors, there is no need to be too calculated, and the most important thing is not to be vague on the issue of national righteousness."
She knows what to do, what not to do, what the bottom line is. This is a high-level template for mature women.
Recent film and television dramas have become popular to depict the love of middle-aged women. For example, the hit drama "Xiao MinJia", as well as the movie "Love Myth".
The love of middle-aged women is no longer the hormone of moths to put out fire, but more of a rational judgment and a choice after weighing the pros and cons.
In Hu Die's body, The rice grain mother saw the rationality that a middle-aged woman should have, she was born beautiful, but she was not lost by beauty, nor was she defeated in temptation and rumors. This was really rare in those days.
The swaying female flower in the chaotic world has left classic works and legendary stories for future generations, and the wisdom of life that has become skilled is the part that we women should learn from and refer to the most.
