When people talk about women's beauty and freedom, it seems that they can't avoid a series of problems such as appearance anxiety and age anxiety. Recently, Yu Feihong provided a more peaceful answer from her point of view in an interview:
"Irreversible, unchangeable, then I will accept."
In fact, for Yu Feihong, since the debut of the child star, the public's excessive attention to her appearance has also troubled her for a time. When the outside world sees "beauty" as a privilege, this is a limitation for her as an actor, and it is not conducive to her shaping of the role.
"A person should not pay too much attention to the praise of others, a lot of it is well-intentioned, and many of them are not what you deserve. For example, I have no sense of pride in the thing of looks, because I have not contributed anything to it, or creativity is on this, and I will not take it as a privilege. You have to use it, and the other things it brings with it, you also have to have the ability to bear it. ”
Although she teased herself that this statement sounded a bit "Versailles", it was reasonable to put it in the context of her upbringing.
Born into an intellectual family, Yu Feihong's father graduated from Tsinghua University and his mother was also a high-achieving student, and her parents' education told her that she could not make an embroidered pillow. After dropping out of a polytechnic university, she was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, where she felt that acting was a way to gain her freedom.
After graduation, she had already stayed on to teach for 1 year, and once again gave up such an opportunity to choose to study abroad, although she did not have a clear plan for her future at that time. But she knew very well that she had no experience and lacked life, "I can only teach students, the only ones that the teacher taught me, at most as a microphone, plus I want to learn English, so I went to the United States to study." ”
In addition to improving her English, she also wants to allow herself to truly experience a completely independent lifestyle where no one can help when problems arise. In her view, this kind of seeking her own perfection and breakthrough is very important for the growth of the self.
Of course, such a choice and boldness is not uncommon in her professional experience, from the age of 16, she has accumulated a good reputation and popularity by virtue of the classic roles created in "Holding Hands", "Happy Luck Club" and "Little Li Flying Knife", but she does not linger on the process of becoming famous, and began to try to produce and direct these identities, from the script to the shooting, the movie "Love has an afterlife" as her only director's work does not see much splash, but the twists and difficulties in this process make "filmmakers" This identity is more experienced.
From reading the novel in 1996, to repeatedly polishing the script from 2001 to 2005, and then to the start of filming in 2006, she gave her all her heart and accepted the final result, in her words, "I didn't make this scene to be a director, I really have a lot of feelings about this story." ”
It is precisely out of the resonance of the story that she is not a prolific player to follow her heart more when choosing the script, whether it is Yao Lan who is grounded in "Little Husband" or Mrs. Liang in "The First Incense", she has been vividly interpreted by her.
Over the years, the search for freedom has also allowed her to change her identity, always let people feel the light self in her. She knows that the convenience of looks is largely due to being in a patriarchal society, which also prompts her to look at the world more soberly.
The same is true in the face of women's issues such as marriage and love.
Now at the age of 50, she has not only gained spiritual freedom, but also broadened her understanding of "freedom".
"Some people can still feel freedom in marriage is also very good, some people have children, although the child may need to pay a lot of time responsibility, but he also feels another kind of happiness in the child, and that happiness can also bring him a sense of freedom." Everyone has the freedom to choose their own lifestyle. ”
A free soul that walks freely.
Finally, here's a happy birthday to this free woman.
