On January 19, according to Taiwan media reports, Liu Lanxi, an amphibious red star and the first qiongyao girl in the 80s, died at the age of 61.
The actress Liu Lanxi, who has appeared in many records and also acted in Qiong Yao's classic dramas, faded out of the show business circle after marrying a doctor at the age of 24, and then began to contact Buddhism, and after the 7th year of marriage, she shaved her family, the legal name "Daorong".
Liu Lanxi's sister confirmed this unfortunate news to Taiwan media, saying that "Master Daorong passed away on January 10, 2022 (December 8, 2021 in the lunar calendar) at the Zhizang Temple in San Francisco, USA. As for the cause and other related content, the other party did not disclose too much to the outside world.
On the 18th of this month, Taiwan media visited an office located in Taipei City, where Liu Lanxi was registered as a legal representative, and found that the door of the address was deeply locked, and no one responded to the doorbell for a long time. Observing the situation inside the house outside, there are no lights and shadows, so the reporter asked the nearby residents whether they have seen Liu Lanxi's car in recent days, but the residents said that they have not seen Liu Lanxi's car for more than half a year, which basically corroborates the news of Liu Lanxi's sister.
Looking back on Liu Lanxi's life, as the first generation of Qiong Yao girl, a well-known singer in the 80s and 90s, she once had unlimited scenery and was sought after by thousands of people.
Liu Lanxi was 16 years old because of participating in the Taiwan Television Singing Competition, because of the fresh and unworldly beauty and delicate and sweet singing, got the debut opportunity, the first record "Sunset Love Song" is quite popular, deeply loved by fans, so she has successively launched "The Wind Don't Knock on My Window", "Memories of Wild Ginger Flowers" and other albums.
Among them, there is a classic "Breeze and Drizzle", which was not only covered and collected by Teresa Teng and Faye Wong, but also adapted into a rock version by Andy Lau and became a note of the times.
In that era when there were not so many special effects, Liu Lanxi was rated as a singer who looked very much like Teresa Teng.
In addition to her fresh singing voice, Liu Lanxi was also favored by Qiong Yao, looking for her to play roles such as Xiaojia Jasper or the heroine's girlfriend in the literary and art movies "Cloud and Retention" and "Gathering and Scattering Two Yiyi", and was named "Forever Female Number Two". Soon, she came to the opportunity to serve as the first female in the play in the movies "Evil After Evil" and "It Doesn't Matter If It's Bright or Not". Unfortunately, the next year, 24-year-old Liu Lanxi chose to marry Liang Rongji, a doctor who was 10 years older, and has since disappeared.
Because her husband wanted to go to the United States for further study, Liu Lanxi moved to the local area with her husband, and with the encouragement of her husband, began to study Buddhism and realized the new value of life. So much so that when her husband finished her medical course and was ready to return home, she still chose to stay where she was to study Buddhism, which was five years, and at the age of 31, she was finally fulfilled by her husband, shaved her head and sent home, and got the Dharma name "Daorong".
After Liu Lanxi became a monk, he lived a low-key monastic life without controversy. Because there are too many fans who care about her, in the six months before she left home, she also wore a gray cloth long shirt, wore monk shoes, cloth socks, and accepted media interviews as "Daorong", saying that she was glad that she had finally found a home, which made her heart quiet, and even laughed when she dreamed.
It is not easy to gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry, Liu Lanxi retired at the most popular time, and finally bid farewell to thirty-one years of red dust life and chose to become a monk, which has made many fans feel sorry. However, Liu Lanxi, who has become "Daorong", describes this past with "passing clouds and smoke", and she is very grateful for the love of fans, saying that if she can live in the hearts of others, it is also a precious experience.
The years passed quietly through our fingertips, and when we reacted, we found that many people had gradually faded away in the long river of years. Liu Lanxi walked very suddenly, many of the songs she has sung in her life have made people cry, making people feel sad, and she did not expect that her life was also a bitter journey.
Liu Lanxi can also be regarded as a legend of the times, the residual red has fallen, the beauty has passed away, may she go all the way.
