She was a popular movie star in the 1980s, and now she is still quietly working on the screen, never had a scandal, and her family is happy.
She is the queen who won the Golden Rooster Award twice - Song Xiaoying.

Song Xiaoying was born in Jilin in 1954, and his father liked to participate in some literary and artistic activities, so the five children in the family gradually became interested in literary and artistic performances under the rendering of their father.
Every time no matter what performance his father participated in, everyone in the family would attend to see his father's performance, so Song Xiaoying had an indelible emotion for performance since she was a child.
When Song Xiaoying was 15 years old, due to special reasons, his father returned to his hometown, and Song Xiaoying followed him to work in the countryside.
In 1971, when an art college in Jilin Province was recruiting students, Song Xiaoying attended the event.
I sang a few songs and passed the exam, but I couldn't enroll because of my family background.
The admissions teacher knew Song Xiaoying's strength and talent, and felt sorry for her for missing the opportunity, so she recommended Song Xiaoying to the Jilin Ji Opera Troupe.
The 1973 color feature film "Guerrillas of the Plains" was very strict about the casting of the characters, requiring the actors to be able to show the details of the inner activities of the characters in their eyebrows, and a special opportunity, the assistant director of the play was invited to watch the local literary and artistic performances.
The announcer on the stage was Song Xiaoying, who was lively and cheerful, and played very calmly on the stage, with stars shining in her eyes.
The assistant director was immediately attracted to the girl and recommended her to the director.
Song Xiaoying has thus entered the real road of acting.

In 1979, Song Xiaoying entered the crew to start filming the movie "Suffering Heart", which made Song Xiaoying suffer a lot, running back and forth in different places, and did not have much understanding of acting skills, after all, she was still too young.
When encountering places where he did not understand, Song Xiaoying did not give up, secretly studied by himself, and humbly consulted his predecessors.
After finally finishing filming, I was ready to shoot "Ya Ya" without stopping.
"Ya Ya" was the key film of the long film studio that year, and it was also the first film starring Song Xiaoying.
The film tells the story of the peaceful liberation of Tibet, the yaya rebelled against the owner of the manor and helped the People's Liberation Army to achieve revolutionary victory.
In order to play a mother and daughter with different fates and personalities, Song Xiaoying came to the Tibetan area to eat and live with the Tibetan people, to understand their etiquette and culture, and the differences between this culture after the reform and opening up.
In the class education exhibition hall in Lhasa, the statue of a weeping female slave and the Tibetan sisters' bloody and tearful accusations about the former enslavement and persecution aroused Song Xiaoying's strong desire to create.
At that time, the whole crew could only live in a very simple guest house in Lhasa, and the conditions were particularly harsh, and sometimes there was no water to drink.
The character she plays is a very active and optimistic image, so Song Xiaoying needs to show that kind of energetic and positive attitude, and also requires that she carry things to truly restore the appearance of work, coupled with the torture of altitude sickness, she can survive all by virtue of good physical fitness.

Song Xiaoying is very serious about each scene, in one scene, Song Xiaoying asked her to carry a heavy bucket of water and walk barefoot on the cold bluestone slabs in the empty valley, because the stone slabs were too cold, and Song Xiaoying fell ill that night.
In order to shoot several scenes between mother and child, she spent all day with Yang La, a small actor who played a little girl, so that Xiao Yang La called her "Mother" regardless of the occasion, although she was still a girl who did not have a family at that time.
When "Suffering Heart" was being filmed intensely, the director of "Wedding on the Execution Ground", Guangbu Daoer, felt that the actor who originally played the heroine Chen Tiejun could not grasp the characteristics of the role, so the director temporarily decided to change the actor.
It was decided that Song Xiaoying would star, and in the film, she was Chen Tiejun, a women's member of the two Guangdong District Committees of the Communist Party of China, which was an unforgettable and tragic wedding.
On the execution ground after the arrest, the depth of the line skills made all the audiences present moved.
Every shout and charge order can bring the audience into the scene, and in that movie hall, the most garbage is the tissue with the audience's tears.
The whole play is based on real deeds, and each character has the prototype of a revolutionary martyr behind it.
It aroused the audience's deep patriotism and made us stand in awe of the dead martyrs.
As the main actor, Song Xiaoying and Li Qiming's portrayal of the characters is very delicate.
It is a very difficult and hard thing for a person to star in two plays at the same time, but as an actor, such hard work is happy and everyone's affirmation of her acting skills.
In order to play the image of Chen Tiejun in "Wedding on the Execution Ground", Song Xiaoying consulted a large number of materials and learned about Chen Tiejun's deeds through various channels.
After fully studying the script, Song Xiaoying was touched by the spirit of the martyr and secretly vowed in his heart that he must play this role well.
"Wedding on the Execution Ground" was filmed in Guangzhou for more than a month, Song Xiaoying was a northerner, and when filming, she couldn't stand the weather in the south, and the sweltering weather made Song Xiaoying fall to the ground with heat stroke.
She had this heat stroke, and the whole group rejoiced, because one day they could rest. Song Xiaoying did not play Chen Tiejun as a hero, because she felt that Chen Tiejun was first a woman with flesh and blood, and then a heroine.
"Wedding on the Execution Ground" is one of Song Xiaoying's favorite films and has also been loved by many audiences.
Some people joked with her: You are so beautiful in the film, we said at that time, looking for a daughter-in-law is to find you like this.
Whenever Song Xiaoying hears people's praise for her, she always modestly blames everyone for her, thanking everyone for their careful teaching.
She feels that as a young actor who grew up under the red flag, her experience is too shallow, her skills are too thin, whether in the factory or on location, she always seizes the time to learn from life, learn from books, and learn from the older generation of film artists around her.

In the spring of reform and opening up in 1978, Song Xiaoying and others accompanied the Chinese film delegation to Japan for cultural exchanges.
This is the first time that a Chinese filmmaker has visited abroad after a special period, and the whole group attaches great importance to the process of this visit.
Song Xiaoying specially borrowed a decent black velvet cheongsam to wear, and in order to be worthy of this qipao, he also spent five yuan to burn his head.
At that time, five yuan was considered to be a blood cost, after all, at that time, Song Xiaoying's monthly salary was only more than twenty yuan.
And the hot head is not now what you want to burn, but also to show the relevant work certificate, and the final result of the scalding is also very unsatisfactory.
Having just arrived in Japan and unfamiliar with life, Song Xiaoying xinyun met his good friend Yoshinaga Sayuri.
Although they come from two different countries, the two feel very close as soon as they meet, and they pull each other to chat non-stop.
Despite the difference in language, the two did not pay any attention to it and got along very happily.
Jiyong Xiaolily also invited Song Xiaoying to his home as a guest, which was a trust in Song Xiaoying, which made Song Xiaoying very moved, and the two talked all night.
Due to various reasons, at that time, China could not keep up with the international trend in the field of fashion.
One day before dinner, Yoshinaga Saiduri took Song Xiaoying to a very Japanese barbershop to make a look and gave her a pink dress.
On that day, more than 100 famous filmmakers came to the Japanese film industry, and the beautiful Song Xiaoying instantly became the most eye-catching star of the night at the banquet.
There is another thing that Makes Song Xiaoying still unforgettable, at that time in the country stockings were not so common now, so in Japan to see stockings this kind of thing Song Xiaoying felt very curious, she could not wait to buy a pair, back to the hotel after turning over and over to study this thing, did not understand the correct way to wear.
There is no way, Song Xiaoying wants to cut it off as a sock to wear, this stocking is broken a big hole, let alone wear.
Ji Yong Xiao Lily couldn't help but laugh when she heard about it, and had to personally demonstrate the correct way to Wear to Song Xiaoying.
During these days in Japan, Yoshinaga Xiaolily accompanied Song Xiaoying and others to visit many famous attractions in Japan, and Yoshinaga Xiaobai contracted that Song Xiaoying got along very well, and the two really met and hated each other.
Although Song Xiaoying's relationship with Ji Yong Xiaolily was short-lived, it had a great impact on her life.
Now she still has the parting gift from Yoshinaga Sayuri, a vanity mirror, and as soon as she sees it, Song Xiaoying can remember those happy days.

Song Xiaoying got married after filming "Wedding on the Execution Ground".
I became a mom in 1981.
But she was always optimistic, and she actually suffered from postpartum depression.
Song Xiaoying, who originally had a cheerful personality, suddenly became reluctant to talk, could not be interested in anything, and was particularly disgusted when he mentioned the movie, and wanted to stay at home alone and close himself off.
She also lost a lot of weight and was much haggard.
At this time, Zhang Guomin, an old partner who had worked with her on "Cotai Strip", was filming the movie "Xizhao Street", and he felt that the female doctor Zhou Yanyan in the play could only play this character alive, so he strongly recommended Song Xiaoying to the director.
Zhang Guomin contacted Song Xiaoying many times.
At that time, Song Xiaoying had not acted for a long time, and after Zhang Guomin's soft and hard persuasion, she reluctantly agreed to act.
"Xizhao Street" has Chen Qiang, Chen Peisi, Zhang Guomin, Li Ding, Chi Zhiqiang and other actors familiar to the audience, and the female doctor Zhou Yanyan, played by Song Xiaoying, is melancholy and weak, and her psychological state is very suitable for her at that time.
"Xizhao Street" has an extraordinary significance for Song Xiaoying, and this film has saved Song Xiaoying's acting path in a certain sense.
She said in an interview: "'Sunset Street' was an important turning point in my life. On the road of art, it was Zhang Guomin who saved my life. ”

After entering the 21st century, she participated in many excellent film and television works.
Song Xiaoying won the Best Actress Award at the 12th Golden Rooster Awards of Chinese Cinema for "Smile in the Candlelight".
In her subsequent acting career, she was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Award at the 25th and 30th Golden Rooster Awards for "Lover's Knot" and "Because of Gu Guihua".
Few people know about her emotional life, and many people think that Song Xiaoying is still unmarried.
But in fact, Song Xiaoying just doesn't want to give up her private life for hype, and privately she is also a person who loves life very much.
On social media, Song Xiaoying also posted a group of photos, which is the same frame as her son, from the photos, Song Xiaoying's state is good, it is estimated that it is because of her son who has not been seen for a long time, Song Xiaoying looks at her son with her hand on her cheek.
Although Song Xiaoying is more than 60 years old, the whole person's state looks very young and elegant, and the whole person's dress and mental state are particularly good.
On the contrary, the son has a beard and looks a little too mature, and Song Xiaoying's son does not look much like her, probably with his father.
Once in a show, Song Xiaoying took the initiative to talk to everyone about her husband Xin Ming.
Both were former Golden Rooster Award winners.
It is possible that the same excellent people can attract each other, they have common pursuits in their careers, and they are also very consistent in their interests and hobbies. So it comes together naturally.
They did not gradually lose their love for each other because of time, but became more intimate under the precipitation of time.
This decades-long affection makes everyone envious, stable and low-key with a person white head and old age.
Known for many years and married for many years, the couple's married life is respectful, they accompany each other to enjoy the flowers in the spring and play in the snow in winter, which is very enviable.
I thought that Song Xiaoying and her husband would spend the rest of their lives in this round and full circle, who knew that the accident happened.
Xin Ming, a famous performance artist and national first-class actor, is also the husband of Song Xiaoying.
On June 3, 2021, he died at the age of 73 due to ineffective medical treatment for a serious illness.
This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to this sweet and happy family.
When the pain first came, no one expected to take away this excellent person, and two people with deep feelings could make people feel pain just by breaking up, not to mention that this was the companionship that lasted for decades.
When sending her husband to the hospital, Song Xiaoying also comforted her husband, saying that it was okay, and we would go out and play somewhere.
The smile at the corner of the mouth has not faded, and the two are already separated by yin and yang.
I hope that Teacher Song Xiaoying can come out of her grief as soon as possible, continue to walk with her husband's love and expectations, and see the scenery that the two have not yet seen.
