In the 1980s and 1990s, a large number of outstanding literary and art workers emerged in the show business circle, such as Tang Guoqiang, Zhang Fengyi, Pan Hong, Xi Meijuan, Liu Xiaoqing, etc., who are still active in the public eye.
Today we want to talk about the actress who was at the same time as them, but who has long faded from the public eye - Fang Shu.
Compared with them, Fang Shu can be described as an all-rounder, she can not only act, but also host.
Since her debut, Fang Shu has participated in many excellent film and television works, such as "Look at This Family", "There Is a Youth", "Don't Forget Me", etc., and she also won the crown of the Queen of Hundred Flowers with the role of Chen Bailu in "Sunrise".
Fang Shu not only hosted "Zhengda Variety Show" with her sister Fang Hui, but also hosted the Spring Festival Gala with Zhao Zhongxiang and Jiang Kun in the Spring Festival of 1986, and she was also the first female host to host the Spring Festival Gala in English.
Behind these achievements, however, is her bumpy emotional experience.
In particular, the sister-brother love marriage with Tu Honggang, which is ten years apart, has come to an end, which makes people sigh endlessly.
01
In early 1994, Fang Shu was driving his own car on the road when he was suddenly hit by a van that rushed over from the opposite side.
Sent to the hospital, the results of the examination showed that Fang Shu's ribs were broken six times, and the collarbone was also fractured.
After the marriage between Fang Shu, who was 37 years old at the time, and the director's husband Chen Guoxing lasted for several years, the two were constantly contradictory and quarrelsome.
Before the car accident, the two had just gone through divorce procedures.
The marriage was not smooth, and now there was such a car accident, which made Fang Shu even more frustrated.
At this time, the appearance of a person gradually swept away the haze that hung over Fang Shu's head, he was Tu Honggang.
As a well-known domestic first-line actress, Fang Shu's name was well-known in that era, and the young singer Tu Honggang was particularly admired for her.
During that time, Tu Honggang appeared in the hospital on time every day, although he was not good at words, but his actions were particularly reassuring, he was careful, thoughtful and considerate.
Fang Shu was in a bad mood, and Tu Honggang was telling a cold joke that he didn't know where he looked, which made Fang Shu on the hospital bed cry and laugh.
After being hospitalized for a period of time, Fang Shu's health gradually improved, and Tu Honggang helped Fang Shu walk outside the ward every day.
After being discharged from the hospital, Fang Shu strengthened his determination to be with Tu Honggang, but this decision was opposed by everyone around him.
First of all, the two have a ten-year age gap, and Fang Shu, as a popular actress in the circle, has a smooth career development.
Secondly, Fang Shu had just ended a marriage and married again so quickly, his parents were particularly uneasy, worried that his daughter's decision was too hasty, and worried that Tu Honggang, who was ten years younger, could not be trusted.
However, the opposition of parents and friends, in Fang Shu's view, is not as important as his own real feelings.
She stubbornly said to her parents, "What's wrong with my career being inferior to mine?" I believe he will have a comeback day. "I like him, even if it's hard."
In Fang Shu's view, although the two are ten years apart, the same emotional experience will make them know how to get along better than before.
At that time, the twenty-one-year-old Tu Honggang began to become popular in the industry by covering Qi Qin's songs. The following year, when Tu Hong had just gone to the Soviet Union to participate in a performance, he met his first wife, Daisy.
Daisy is a fan of Tu Honggang, she is enthusiastic and cheerful, and forms a good complement with the introverted Tu Honggang.
The two soon got married and had a son, baby.
Later, Tu Honggang sang that his career was sluggish, and decided to go to the sea to do business, who knew that he had no business experience and lost everything. His marriage to Daisy also came to an end.
Fang Shu, who also had a failed marriage, felt that he and the young man in front of him had a very common language, and more importantly, similar experiences would make the two people know how to cherish each other more.
On October 10, 1994, despite the opposition of his parents and friends, Fang Shu and Tu Honggang got married.
Three months later, the daughter was born. The little two named their daughter Obedient.
However, with the arrival of their daughter, the contradictions between the two began to be revealed.
02
Fang Shu is a native of Tianjin. Born in 1957, her father is a cadre of the Cultural Affairs Bureau and her mother is a vocal teacher at the Central Conservatory of Music. Born in such a literary and artistic family, Fang Shu has also been particularly interested in literature and art since childhood.
By coincidence, Fang Shu became a child star.
When Fang Shu was six years old, she collaborated with the well-known actor Yu Lan in the revolutionary film "Eternal Life in the Fire". Due to his relatively thin and weak since childhood, and has a pair of large eyes, Fang Shu played a small radish head in the film.
In 1978, the Beijing Film Academy resumed undergraduate enrollment, and Fang Shu, who had been talented since childhood, was also admitted, and Zhang Fengyi and Shen Danping were classmates.
In her sophomore year, Fang Shu cooperated with Chen Peisi Chen Qiang Liu Xiaoqing in the movie "Look at This Family", and she played the heroine Lin Xiaohong.
From a good family background, the acting career is smooth, Fang Shu has a quiet personality, and he also loves philosophy.
After she and Tu Hong just got married, coupled with the arrival of her daughter, Fang Shu, as a full-time mother, all those hobbies that she used to have been shelved and never touched again.
The blandness of the marriage was still expected by Fang Shu, but the heavy family affairs made her breathless.
His daughter is still young, tu honggang often performs outside, and Fang Shu hopes that after Tu Honggang returns home, he can help himself share some housework.
However, Tu Honggang, who returned from the performance, his biggest hobby was playing the piano at home, and he wanted his wife and daughter to sing with him.
Exhausted, Fang Shu was not in the mood to sing at all, and she remembered in her heart that the house was too chaotic to be cleaned up, the ground had not been dragged, and the kitchen had not been cleaned.
For his wife's complaints, Tu Honggang did not care. In his opinion, it is not a big deal to take a child at home and do some housework. If you feel tired, you can ask for a babysitter.
Fang Shu felt that he had no income, her husband had just become popular, the conditions were limited, and it was not a small expense to ask for a nanny, so he did not agree with Tu Honggang's proposal.
However, Tu Honggang, who does not have ten fingers on the spring water of the yang, has many requirements for life.
Influenced by the previous "foreign marriage", he especially loves to be clean. For example, when he comes back, he wants to see that the home is neatly organized, and he must wear house clothes at home, and the clothes he wears outside cannot enter the room.
In addition, since you are married and have your own home, you have to eat at home and eat out every day, which is not the way to live at all.
At first, Fang Shu couldn't accept such an idea at all, and when she couldn't get busy, she directly took her daughter and went outside to deal with a casual meal.
Whenever Tu Honggang was very unhappy, Fang Shu had to compromise, slowly practicing cooking, and making a good dish, and her heart became more and more depressed.
In fact, long before the marriage, the contradictions between the two had been revealed.
Tu Honggang was admitted to the Xiqu Academy at the age of 11 and has been in the industry for many years, which can only be said to be a small reputation. When he first divorced, it was when his career and business were frustrated, and daily chores could make him lose his temper.
Fang Shu couldn't stand it either, the two often quarreled, but Fang Shu felt that the road was chosen by himself, and he hoped that after a long time, Tu Honggang could change a little.
Tu Honggang, who has always believed in Buddhism, took Fang Shu to the temple to ask for a signature. The abbot told them that the contradiction between the two people should be alleviated and a child should be born as soon as possible in order to make the family harmonious.
However, after the birth of the daughter, the contradiction between the two did not ease, but became deeper and deeper.
Tu Hong was rigid and straight, and he couldn't quite understand Fang Shu's delicate thoughts. In addition, after marrying Fang Shu, Tu Honggang set up his own music company and launched songs such as "Farewell to the King", "Chinese Kung Fu", and "Peacock Flying Southeast".
The career turned red again, Tu Honggang became busier and busier, often performing in other places, he was not good at words, and the communication with Fang Shu was getting less and less.
After working hard for a while, Fang Shu found that the husband in front of him was not as perfect as he imagined.
What made Fang Shu even more angry was that Tu Honggang, who had a business lesson, after his career turned red, he felt that he was the material for doing business, and began to invest everywhere with all his savings, once again losing all his money.
The conflict was on the verge of erupting, and after another argument, the two decided to end the marriage.
On June 5, 2002, Fang Shu and Tu Honggang divorced, and their daughter obediently lived with Fang Shu.
Two people who were peaceful and friendly at the time of divorce did not expect to go to court because of the maintenance fee.
03
Two months after the divorce, some media reported that Fang Shu had sued Tu Honggang in court because of the problem of maintenance.
When the reporter asked Fang Shu for verification, she either did not answer the question head-on, or told the reporter that her and Tu Honggang's problem had been properly resolved.
It seems that it is not willing to become the talk of the public because of the problem of money.
A reporter interviewed Tu Honggang on this matter, but he said that he did not know about the defendant at all. As for the maintenance, he had already paid his ex-wife on time according to the divorce agreement.
In the interview about the reasons for the divorce, Tu Honggang likened himself to a rubber band.
Compare career, family, life, friends, daughters, etc. to chopsticks.
All the chopsticks are tied together, and after a long time, the rubber band simply cannot afford it and may break at any time. And Tu Honggang, as a rubber band, can only escape.
This was the reason why he was going home less and less, and there were more and more conflicts with Fang Shu.
Not long after, there was news that Fang Shu wanted to buy a house, but the gap was as high as 200,000.
Fang Shu, who returned to her family after marriage and rarely filmed, this number is not a small number for her, and she first thought of finding help from her ex-husband Tu Honggang.
Unexpectedly, Tu Honggang not only publicly refused her request for help, but also told the reporter who came to interview, "She is also an actress, and I don't believe that she can't even get 200,000 yuan to buy a house." ”
Later, friends who knew each other told Tu Honggang that Fang Shu signed an agreement with investor Liu Jian in order to buy a house, and after borrowing money, he repaid it with filming remuneration.
This is why Fang Shu participated in the TV series "Love Me, Are You Afraid?" 》。
Fang Shu filmed in the crew and took his eight-year-old daughter with him at any time.
Once on a big night, Fang Shu finished filming his own scene and shouted around that his daughter did not see a response. The crew helped to find it, and only in a corner did they find their daughter who was already asleep.
Fang Shu picked up her daughter, only to find that at some point, her daughter began to have a fever.
When Tu Honggang heard the reporter relay this incident, he said a little angrily, "She is just strong, she has to take her daughter with her, filming a drama, what is she doing with her daughter?" ”
Fang Shu rarely accepts interviews, is reluctant to talk more about family affairs, which is right or wrong, and the public can only hear Tu Honggang's one-sided words.
After the divorce, Tu Honggang married for the third time, and his wife was his assistant.
And Fang Shu, a person with two daughters, mother and daughter three people live together.
She once again appeared in public, and many people sighed that a generation of goddesses is now completely unrecognizable.
04
To say that Fang Shu is also tough, both marriages have failed, she did not remarry. She is intellectually beautiful, quiet in nature, and there has been no shortage of suitors around her.
However, after two marriages, for her, if the contradictions between two people are irreconcilable, it is better to live alone than to seek perfection.
Living alone, her greatest wish is to raise her two daughters.
When she divorced Chen Guoxing, her daughter lived with Chen Guoxing, and not long after, her daughter came to Fang Shu's side.
After divorcing Tu Honggang, the daughters born in the two marriages followed Fang Shu, and she faded out of the show business circle and concentrated on raising two children.
Now the eldest daughter has graduated from a school outside Beijing's Chinese and becomes a journalist. The youngest daughter is talented and has a lively personality, and is expected to enter the show business circle and become a peer of her parents.
In recent years, Fang Shu, who has not filmed, has lived an ordinary life and has not appeared in public until recent years.
September 2018 marks the 40th anniversary of Nortel's full resumption of undergraduate enrollment. As a first-class alumnus, Fang Shu made rare appearances.
Unlike the spirited alumni Chen Kaige and Zhang Tielin, Fang Shu did not wear makeup, sat with her classmates, and if it were not for someone introducing her name, the audience would not recognize her at all.
Her eye sockets are deeply sunken and her skin is sagging, no different from ordinary women of this age.
Counting up, Fang Shu is already 64 years old.
From a generation of goddesses to now invisible to everyone, I believe that for her, inner peace is the most important.
From firmly choosing a sibling love ten years younger, to getting married to a chicken feather, to returning to singleness. Outsiders have no way of saying whether this choice is right or wrong.
Most importantly, after experiencing this, no matter what kind of life you live, inner peace and tranquility are the most important.
