Public opinion has been a very elusive thing since ancient times, and some people have benefited infinitely because of it, and some people have fallen into the abyss because of it.
The 1980s were the golden age of film and television dramas, and countless excellent actors came out, accompanied by countless public opinions.
Gong Xue was a well-known actress at that time, and had great achievements in the field of film and television dramas. Countless people were obsessed with her, and hundreds of magazines invited her to shoot for cover magazines. It can be said that at that time, almost no one could compete with her.

However, such a well-known actor in the country was involved in a hooligan case that had nothing to do with her because of public opinion. Influenced by public opinion, Gong Xue finally chose to leave the United States, and her acting career was ruined, and it was not until decades later that she finally returned to her homeland.
Why was Gong Xue involved in the hooligan case by public opinion? What kind of life did she live after she went to the United States? Why did she return to China?
Next, let's understand the story of Gong Xue.
After the double shadow
On March 16, 1953, the second day of the second lunar month, Gong Xue was born on the way to see a movie by his parents.
Gong Xue, who can't wait to see this world, met the snow in Shanghai unexpectedly. Her mother always thought that Gong Xue might know that she was going to the movies, so she came to join in the fun.
Gong Xue's father was a costume designer and her mother was a photographer. His parents had a great influence on Gong Xue's career in the art industry, while his maternal grandfather had a great influence on Gong Xue's outlook on life and values.
Gong Xue's maternal grandfather once studied with Lu Xun, but because he did not want to accept the invitation of the puppet government in Nanjing, he stayed away from politics and chose to become a teacher. The life of Gong Xue's grandfather can be said to have vividly expressed the path of poverty and happiness.
Under the influence of her parents, Gong Xue seems to be born with a wealth of artistic cells, and she likes painting and acting, especially for performance. When she was very young, she liked to imitate the every move of the movie characters, and this was the beginning of Gong Xue's film dream.
In 1969, Gong Xue graduated from high school, and like many people at that time, Gong Xue was waiting for the state's work assignment. At that time, going up the mountain and going to the countryside was a road that intellectuals like Gong Xue could not avoid, so a year later Gong Xue was arranged to join a team in a rural area in Jiangxi.
Gong Xue, who was influenced by art since childhood, has many beautiful fantasies about rural life. Golden wheat waves, babbling brooks, birds swiping through the sky, laid-back old cattle... Idyllic life is all her imagination of the countryside.
However, after arriving in Jiangxi, Gong Xue found that all this was completely different from her fantasy. The tranquility of the pastoral pastoral did not come as expected, and she was greeted only by dust and daily labor.
Two years after such a day, in 1972, Gong Xue accidentally sprained his foot while rehearsing. The doctors found by the local commune delayed in treating Gong Xue's feet, so Gong Xue was sent back to Shanghai to continue treatment.
Just after Gong Xue's treatment, she learned the news that the troops were recruiting literary and artistic soldiers.
This was an opportunity that Gong Xue had been looking forward to for a long time, and if she could enter the army, then she would not have to return to Jiangxi. If she wants to realize her film dream, then the literary soldier will be her first step on the film road.
In order to seize this opportunity, Gong Xue began a hard preparation. Fortunately, the Emperor Did Not Pay Off, Gong Xue successfully became a literary and artistic soldier.
Because of Gong Xue's calm and quiet personality and outstanding appearance, she was very popular in the army. Gong Xue was not complacent because of this, on the contrary, she began to work harder and harder to hone her acting skills. Because of her efforts, she finally got her first chance on the film road.
In 1974, Gong Xue's unit was tasked with filming the movie "Wheels Rolling", and Gong Xue was given a group performance opportunity.
This is the first time that Gong Xue has really participated in the filming of the movie, although it is only a small group performance, gong Xue is still very excited. Through this film, Gong Xue also has a further understanding of the filming process of the film.
Because of his outstanding performance, Gong Xue soon entered the General Political Drama Troupe, where Gong Xue was exposed to more performance types and performance techniques. This experience of the drama troupe also provided sufficient nourishment for her future film and television shooting.
In 1979, Gong Xue accidentally slipped while riding a bicycle, resulting in a fracture of her right hand, and she had to take leave to go home to recuperate. It was at this time that director Zhang Xinshi found Gong Xue.
It turned out that director Zhang Xinshi was preparing a movie called "Sacrifice red", but the heroine was delayed, and later learned about Gong Xue under the introduction of others. Zhang was very satisfied with Gong Xue's physical condition, so he applied for a secondment to the General Political Drama Troupe.
Gong Xue was also very excited after learning about this matter, after all, this will be her first time as a film heroine.
In the early summer of 1979, filming of "Sacrifice Red" officially began.
Gong Xue has to play the role of mother and daughter in "Sacrifice Red", and occasionally plays an ancient role, which is a big challenge for Gong Xue who is starring in the movie for the first time. But years of drama performance experience and diligence helped Gong Xue at this time, allowing her to successfully complete this difficult task.
After the release of "Sacrifice Red", this actress with a moving appearance and excellent acting skills was quickly sought after by the general public.
Since then, Gong Xue has officially started her acting career.

Since "Sacrifice red", Gong Xue has filmed many popular works, such as "Good Things and Many Grinds", "Under the Bridge", "Happy Bachelor" and so on. With the shooting of more and more movies, Gong Xue's popularity is also rising.
In 1984, the film "Under the Bridge" brought more honors to Gong Xue. In this year, Gong Xue won the title of Best Actress of the Hundred Flowers Award and the Golden Rooster Award. Her award was well-deserved and was supported by all the judges and the audience.
Although Gong Xue has not shot many TV series, her outstanding acting skills are indisputable, so the TV series she shoots are all well received without exception.
Gong Xue's hard work finally paid off, she worked day and night to ponder the script, swallowed ice cubes in order to shoot smoothly in the winter, and personally hit iron in the forging workshop, these efforts finally carried her to the throne behind the double material shadow.
Leave the United States
As the saying goes, "people are afraid of being famous pigs are afraid of being strong", although it is not so good, but the truth can not help but make people think deeply.
After the big hit, Gong Xue ushered in a major ordeal in her acting career. And the origin of this ordeal is the three unformed high-ranking cadres.
Chen Xiaomeng, Ge Zhiwen, and Hu Xiaoyang were all children of high-ranking officials at that time, and the three of them did not learn any techniques and committed adultery.
In order to seek excitement and satisfy their own selfish desires, the three of them began to use their family's power to seduce girls. In the beginning, the three of them did not dare to make too much noise, they would first understand the goals that the girls could not achieve, and then help the girls achieve their goals in exchange for their consent.
Most of the girls did not dare to tell others after being hurt, and Chen Xiaomeng's three people had been safe and sound, and this result made Chen Xiaomeng's three people more and more bold.
Later, Chen Xiaomeng and the three of them even used the name of the dance party to invite more girls. In this way, more and more people are hurt.

In 1984, someone finally couldn't look down and reported Chen Xiaomeng. The police began an investigation after receiving the report.
Because they have always had no fear, Chen Xiaomeng and the three did not cover up too much, and even recorded the names of the girls they had bullied in a book.
The police quickly found their books, and their crimes were finally revealed. This incident was very sensational at the time, so there were many people who paid attention to it.
At that time, such crimes were so serious that even their families could not free them from prison.
Soon, Chen Xiaomeng and the three were sentenced to death.
This matter originally had nothing to do with Gong Xue, but the bad thing was that there were too many people paying attention to this matter, and the rumor said that there was a female star surnamed Gong on the book that wrote many victims.
Such rumors intensified, and soon stirred up a lot of splashes in the hearts of the people.
The surname Gong, a female star, got the "help" of Chen Xiaomeng and others, and under the impetus of such associations and people with hearts, some people soon pointed the spearhead at Gong Xue.
Gong Xue's development over the years has been very rapid, and her development will undoubtedly affect others, and those who are affected naturally refuse to give up, such a thing is not uncommon in any era. Gong Xue has just won the title of best actress, and it is when the limelight is in full swing, and her national attention is also unprecedented. As soon as this matter was exposed, it received extremely high attention.
Maybe at the beginning, it was just that someone said that there was a female star surnamed Gong in the book, but when it was passed on, it changed its taste. More and more people are beginning to believe that Gong Xue can have today's achievements can not be separated from Chen Xiaomeng and others, and even some people think that Gong Xue may be in cahoots with Chen Xiaomeng and the three of them.
Gong Xue's image is too beautiful, the excellent family environment, exquisite and moving looks, impeccable acting skills, how can there be such a perfect person in this world? People will have shortcomings, so Gong Xue cannot be an exception.
With this in mind, all the accusations against Gong Xue began to be justified. So what is white becomes black, and what is not also becomes yes.
No one cared that Gong Xue was busy shooting all day, there was no time to attend Chen Xiaomeng's dance, no one cared whether the female star surnamed Gong was Gong Xue or not, or even whether it was really someone, and no one cared about how such rumors would affect Gong Xue.
"It's what they're willing to believe, and it doesn't matter if I explain it."
At first, Gong Xue believed that rumors were rumors after all, and that one day she would regain her innocence, but fewer and fewer film invitations and more and more insults finally let Gong Xue know that some things could not be revealed with time.
In 1985, "Under the Bridge" rushed out of the country, and Gong Xue participated in the tour of this film as the star of "Under the Bridge".
Gong Xue came to the United States with "Under the Bridge" and met Zhang Xun.
Zhang Xun was a doctoral student in the United States at the time, a man who was both knowledgeable and good-looking, his humor and humor and modesty quickly captured Gong Xue's heart, and the gentle and moving Gong Xue naturally entered Zhang Xun's heart.
After the tour, Gong Xue returned to China, and Zhang Xun kept in touch with her.
Over a year-long period, Gong Xue and Zhang Xun's relationship quickly warmed up.
Rumors and fewer and fewer jobs gave Gong Xue the idea of quitting the show business, and Zhang Xun's feelings for her made the idea more and more firm.
In 1986, Gong Xue and Zhang Xun officially entered the palace of marriage. In order to let Zhang Xun continue his further studies and escape public opinion at home, Gong Xue and Zhang Xun came to the United States together.
Return to the homeland
After arriving in the United States, Gong Xue did not go out to work for a long time, and Zhang Xun also used his shoulder to prop up a shade for her. Under the shade of this tree, Gong Xue had a very pleasant time, and the main activity of the day was to water the flowers and take care of the lawn.
Gong Xue and her husband Zhang Xun
In 1988, Gong Xue and Zhang Xun's daughter was born, and in the company of her daughter and husband, Gong Xue gradually walked out of the days when she was wronged and snubbed.
After stepping out of that shadow, Gong Xue gradually began a new life.
In 1993, Gong Xue took over as the host of the American television station "Chronicles of Chinese Americans". This work gave her the courage to enter the public eye again.
In 2006, Zhang Xun and Gong Xue were over 50 years old, and both had plans to return to China. Just at this time, Zhang Xun received an invitation from a domestic pharmaceutical company, so the two made up their minds to return to China.
Twenty years have passed, the domestic environment has already undergone earth-shaking changes, and the name Gong Xue has been replaced by generations of new actors, and only those veteran practitioners can recognize this once-limelight double shadow queen.
At the invitation of old friends, Gong Xue participated in the 15th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival.
This graceful and calm woman has attracted the attention of many people, but few people know that Gong Xue was once a person who stood at the top of the film and television industry.
Gong Xue, who has long learned to reconcile with life, once again appears under the lens of China, this time, there is no scenery of the past, there is no insult in the sky, and what is left is just an ordinary person who still has a great love for the acting career.
In 2010, Gong Xue participated in the TV series "8090 Rush Forward", playing a picky and troublesome mother-in-law in the play.
After "8090 Rush Forward", Gong Xue did not participate in other film and television works, and she gradually shifted from an actor to behind the scenes. Now that Gong Xue has become a member of the Film Association, she has finally gained the respect she should have.
Because of an unrelated hooligan case, Gong Xue's acting career was ruined, because of unfounded rumors, Gong Xue left his homeland and went to the United States. And the people who caused all this were the fans who once loved her deeply.
Such a thing always makes people sigh, but such a thing never completely disappears.
Rumors come every day, but hopefully you'll polish your eyes and never be swayed by rumors.
