Black and white photos flashed in front of me, but the figure of a beautiful woman was deeply imprinted in her heart.
She is Ruan Lingyu. She was born only for love.
Ruan Lingyu, the most famous film actress in Shanghai in the 1930s, died at the age of 16 at the age of 25, and let time stop moving forward at the most brilliant time of her life.
Since the film was introduced at the end of the Qing Dynasty, film and television stars began to enter the eyes of the public, in the era when technology was not yet developed, movies were far less popular than today, but still many stars were born, which has to be said to be a window at that time - Shanghai.
As early as the Qing Dynasty, Shanghai became a window for the cultural input of the great powers, and seeing the rise of cinema in the world, Chinese cinema has also been developed to a certain extent. In the Republic of China period, Shanghai became a window for domestic films to the outside world, which gave birth to many movie stars, which have to be said that the first beauty of the Republic of China at that time, because of the love trapped she died young, there were seven people martyrdom at the funeral, so what kind of experience did the first beauty of the Republic of China period have?
First, he was born poor in his early years
Shanghai in 1935 was prosperous before World War II, and although it was baptized by the financial crisis at that time, Shanghai still maintained its prosperity and was once known as the economic miracle of the Republic of China. However, under such prosperity, the news of the suicide of a popular movie star who swallowed sleeping pills spread throughout Shanghai, and this popular movie star was Ruan Lingyu, who was known as the first beauty of the Republic of China at that time.
Speaking of the past of the first beautiful woman in the Republic of China, she was still born in a poor family, and her father died shortly after her birth, at this time Ruan Lingyu had to rely on her father for her life, because her mother worked as a maid in a large family, which made her life barely survivable.
Ruan Lingyu, who grew up in a large household, benefited from contact with the old man of this family and was given the opportunity to receive education. At that time, this old man was the trustee of Chongde Girls' School, so he actively encouraged Ruan Lingyu to receive education and become a woman in the new era. In this way, Ruan Lingyu finally went to Chongde Girls' School and received an education with the help of the old man of this family.
When she was in school, the first beautiful woman of the Republic of China had no shortage of suitors around her, including Zhang Damin, the young master of this large family. Although he was born rich, Zhang Damin has not pursued enterprising, a look of a clumsy child, and Ruan Lingyu is a green plum bamboo horse, but it is obvious that he cannot give Ruan Lingyu a future at all. Later, with the decline of the family, Zhang Damin also lost his financial resources, and Ruan Lingyu, who came to Shanghai to struggle, obviously did not consider her feelings with Zhang Damin, so the relationship between the two was not happy.
Second, become a popular movie star
After completing her studies, Ruan Lingyu came to Shanghai with her small savings to work hard. Thanks to the prosperity of the Shanghai Dance Hall at that time, Ruan Lingyu also came to it, and won the attention of many fans with her outstanding appearance and wonderful performance. In 1926, at the age of 16, Ruan Lingyu was photographed by the head of the film company at the time and began to devote herself to the film industry, and soon after her outstanding performance in a movie was highly praised and won many fans, she quickly became popular in Shanghai.
After becoming a movie star, Ruan Lingyu quickly became rich, and she continued to work hard in her career and won many film appearances. However, at this time, Zhang Damin, who had no financial resources in the family road, appeared, and he once threatened Ruan Lingyu and extorted a lot of money.
After being threatened by Zhang Damin, Ruan Lingyu can be described as panicked, and later she met a wealthy businessman at that time, Tang Jishan, and soon she and Tang Jishan began to become a couple of lovers, although Tang Jishan already had a family, but the original match was in the countryside after all, so he thought about hiding this matter, and once promised to marry Ruan Lingyu. Just when the two were preparing to get married, Zhang Damin took the two to court, when Zhang Damin claimed that Ruan Lingyu had openly stepped on two boats, which caused an uproar, but the court quickly rejected Zhang Damin's claim, but Tang Jishan, a wealthy businessman who wanted to save his reputation, left her.
After the rupture of this relationship, Ruan Lingyu began to be criticized, and later she met the director Cai Chusheng while filming, but Cai Chusheng was the same, she already had the original wife, and could only take her as a concubine, which made Ruan Lingyu, who had paid several years of feelings, unacceptable, and finally swallowed sleeping pills to commit suicide, and her life was forever stuck at the age of 25. At Ruan Lingyu's later funeral, 300,000 fans came to see her off, including seven people who committed suicide, which made her a much-criticized figure.
III. Conclusion:
As a popular film and television star in the Republic of China period, Ruan Lingyu completed the transformation from a poor girl to a popular film and television star, but her emotional road was very bumpy, and she eventually committed suicide because of her bad feelings, which also made her a victim of deformed marriage and love relationship in the old era.
