On the evening of July 31, 2002, the news of Pauline Chan's suicide by jumping off a building spread through the media to The Hong Kong and Macau regions where she was active during her lifetime.
It was an ending that almost no one surprised.
A famous artist once wrote in the book that a woman who stands in the world with beauty may hate her soul, even her own life, but she will never dislike her own skin. Be sure to find a good-looking dress and bid farewell to the world with a beautiful gesture.
It's just that Chen Baolian finally couldn't even take care of her own skin bag, she only wore a nightgown, her legs fell to the ground first, her bones were destroyed, and even the knife edge that had just been caesarean sectioned and had not yet had time to fully heal also collapsed, and she walked extremely undignified.
This is The last rebellion of Chen Baolian, who used her own flesh and skin as a script to stage the last "reality show" about her for the world.
After Baolian Chen's death, her mother made public her only two last wishes.
Look for the child's biological father.
"Call the young master for me and tell him that Pauline has gone, take good care of her body, Pauline has always loved him when she is dying, and I will not allow anyone to slander him!"
Pauline Chen
After Baolian Chen's death, film companies in Hong Kong and Taiwan began to compete for her "life rights".
With her mother's consent, Pauline Chan's biographical film was produced 19 days after her death.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">01</h1>
Born in Shanghai, Chen Baolian is the only daughter in the family.
Speaking of Chen Baolian, she was also born in a half-literary and artistic family, her father was a painter in the museum, and her grandmother was an actor on the old Shanghai Beach.
The young Chen Baolian still had time to feel the warmth of the family, and her parents were separated.
Her mother had no time to take care of four-year-old Chen Baolian, threw it to her mother, and went to the Xiangjiang River alone.
Until the age of 12, Pauline Chan lived with her grandmother in Shanghai, and after the age of 12, she moved to Hong Kong with her mother.
The lack of roles as father and mother during the long process of growing up made Pauline Chen desperately desire a complete family and care from her closest relatives.
This longing constantly pushed her and forced her to embark on an almost crazy life path.
The Internet spread that Chen Baolian's grandmother
The late 1980s and late 1990s were the peak of Hong Kong film revenue.
All kinds of capital are charging in the film market, and how to invest less capital, shorter time, and obtain higher box office revenue has become an urgent problem for major film companies to solve.
There is only one type of film that perfectly encapsulates these three nearly contradictory "principles" – tertiary films.
The peak of income generation means that the market is saturated, there are countless new people who want to be movie stars, and there are always only a few actors who really have movies to speak of.
In 1989, as one of the first actresses to "figure it out", Ye Zilin starred in "Liaozhai Yantan" lightly and won tens of millions of box office in one fell swoop.
Overnight, countless female artists tried to emulate Ye Zilin, using their bodies as a sharp blade to cut a blood path for themselves.
Chen Baolian's mother looked at the female artists who became popular on the screen one after another, turned her head to look at her daughter, her wrist was like a frost person like the moon, and she was really a top beauty.
The following year, Chen Baolian's mother took the initiative and signed up for the 17-year-old Chen Baolian to participate in the Asian sister campaign.
This is not the first time that Chen Baolian's mother has tried to exchange Chen Baolian's skin bag for living expenses, as early as when Chen Baolian was 15 years old, she was already working part-time as a model.
Unfortunately, Chen Baolian did not win the ranking in that Asian sister competition.
In 1990, the Asian sister election was the most non-in-one election in the previous Asian sister elections, and the absurd things caused by the vicious competition between the players were not uncommon, resulting in this Asian sister election being nailed to the column of shame so far.
In 1990, after the contestants who got the most photogenic lady and the most perfect posture miss returned to the background after the interview, she found that the other contestants ignored her with black faces, even her own personal clothes and underwear were missing, and she had to borrow clothes from the staff.
It can be seen that the darkness of that Asian sister.
Yajie's campaign for The Feather made Chen Baolian unable to get a beautiful artist contract, but her unique temperament and near-perfect figure were really impressive.
In April of the following year, a film company took the initiative to hand over the contract to the door, and since it was not yet Chen Baolian's 18th birthday, her mother signed a film shooting contract in her place.
When she arrived at the shooting set, Chen Baolian learned that the film had a lot of nude shots, and the scale of the film was really not something she could bear.
Later, artists who worked with Chen Baolian recalled that Chen Baolian, who had just arrived on the set, had been crying and not allowing anyone to touch her.
At the beginning, the people on the film side were still good at persuading each other, because she had been unwilling, and the people on the film side gradually lost patience, directly warning her that the contract had been signed, and she wanted to shoot and shoot if she didn't want to shoot.
And this movie is the series of "Liaozhai" that made Ye Zilin popular overnight, with a large enough scale and enough nude shots not only holding up Ye Zilin, but also holding up Chen Baolian.
After the release of this work, Chen Baolian was red all over the Xiangjiang River and took a step up to qingyun.
After that, the film company took advantage of the victory and successively created films for Chen Baolian such as "I am from Beijing", "May Cherry Lips", "Modern Call Girl", "I am from Flower Street" and so on.
From crying to numbness, with the help of the product company and her mother, Chen Baolian was forced to take off her clothes, but she was draped in a star coat and became the hard disk goddess in the dreams of countless teenagers.

Wang Jing said that the prosperity of Hong Kong's tertiary film market in the last century was due to the madness of the Taiwan market.
At the craziest time of the Taiwan film market, five theater lines were opened at the same time, and these five theater lines were almost all Hong Kong movies screened.
The madness of Taiwan-funded people fed Hong Kong movies fat enough, so that the decline of Hong Kong movies later was also because of the collapse of the Taiwan film market, which had the opportunity to talk about it later.
During that time, Hong Kong movies and "Hong Kong stars" represented a higher level of pursuit for Taiwan.
In 1992, Huang Renzhong, one of Taiwan's "four rich and young" people, met Chen Baolian through one movie after another, although he could not meet it, his heart longed for it.
This Huang Renzhong is the "young master" mentioned in Chen Baolian's suicide note.
Huang Renzhong is a famous lustful person, he has a famous saying: "I have four major hobbies in my life: beauty, wine, sports cars and mansions." ”
Huang Renzhong also has a famous saying: "I am color, but I dare to open up the color, and I will never sneak the color!" ”
Previously, there were news reports that Huang Ren loved the beauty to buy a mansion to live with female disciples, female apprentices and various beautiful women.
The mansion's invincible bed and swimming pool are compiled by various newspapers and magazines all year round.
But in the early years, the reports of the tabloids were true and false, and whether there was such a mansion or not, and whether there were so many beauties living in the mansion, it was impossible to know.
Huang Renzhong (top row, second from right)
In 1993, Huang Renzhong went to Hong Kong to attend a business banquet. Everyone at the banquet understood that if you want to make this big boss happy, you can't go wrong with talking about beautiful women with him.
Talking about Chen Baolian, seeing that Huang Renzhong was interested, someone immediately introduced Chen Baolian for Huang Renzhong, and then the two sides left contact information.
Later, Huang Renzhong arrived in Hong Kong again and wanted to ask Chen Baolian to eat, but unfortunately Chen Baolian was working in Shenzhen that day, and when Huang Renzhong contacted her, it was only three or four hours before she took the stage, and Chen Baolian had to politely refuse.
Huang Renzhong refused to give up, and only asked Chen Baolian if he had a way to take her back to Hong Kong, send her back to Shenzhen after eating, and promise not to delay her time on stage, can this meal still be eaten?
At that time, Chen Baolian did not believe that this was something that could be done, and he responded to it.
Subsequently, Lieutenant General Huang Renzhong drove the helicopter to the roof of the hotel where Chen Baolian was staying, and "flew" to take her back to Hong Kong for a meal.
Chen Baolian and Huang Renzhong
It's just that at that time, Chen Baolian didn't want to have anything to do with a rich businessman like Huang Renzhong, and she simply dreamed of taking off the star coat by her own efforts.
In 1994, Chen Baolian was invited to play a beautiful female agent in Stephen Chow's "Domestic Lingling Paint", although there were not many scenes, but the appearance was really stunning.
Chen Baolian's body is intertwined with a cold and cold sense of contradiction, which is really unforgettable.
To say a sentence of Hong Kong sister Yuan Yongyi who suppressed the same drama is really not excessive.
Chen Baolian "Domestic Lingling Paint"
Unfortunately, she was unlucky, and before she could play two plays, her body went wrong, and her womb blistered and she had to stop working and recuperate.
Previous work experience has made people full of prejudice against Chen Baolian, she entered the hospital, that is, she had an unseemly disease; as soon as she entered the door of gynecology, it was even more difficult.
This transformation road is still in the future and goes, and it is blocked by this disease.
After half a year of suspension, everything returned to the origin that Chen Baolian was most reluctant to face. Zheng'er Bajing's film did not dare to risk inviting her, and the production company that came to the door was still those "old friends".
Coinciding with the collapse of the Taiwanese market and the boom in pirated films in the late 1990s, Hong Kong films were overwhelmed, and even the market and the times refused to give Chen Baolian the opportunity to change.
In desperation, Chen Baolian lost taiwan and planned to completely change the battlefield for herself.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right">03</h1>
It was during this time that Huang Renzhong launched an all-round bombing pursuit of Chen Baolian.
Huang Renzhong was willing to spend money on Chen Baolian.
Clothes are bought in a dozen sets, and jewelry is sent in sets, and meticulous companions accompany each other.
Chen Baolian was tired of working and took a car for her, chen Baolian and her friends went to the bar to drink and caused trouble, so they came forward for her to settle the balance for her at the first time.
Huang Renzhong said that Chen Baolian was his "daughter", that is, his daughter, and Chen Baolian also called him daddy in private.
This almost explains all of Chen Baolian's obsession with Huang Ren and all subsequent crazy behavior.
The rupture of the young family and the lack of parental roles have made Chen Baolian pursue family affection and love all her life, and when her career and feelings (breaking up with her boyfriend Mo Shaocong, who has been in a relationship for two years) are in a trough, the appearance of Huang Renzhong, who is nearly 30 years older, almost adds the dual roles of "lover" and "father".
Chen Baolian admired him, adored him, respected him, and relied on him.
It is precisely because of this that the subsequent Huang Renzhong's decisive severance of relations with Chen Baolian is equivalent to personally pushing Chen Baolian into the abyss.
Everyone thinks that Chen Baolian loves Huang Renzhong's money, and I'm afraid even Huang Renzhong himself thinks so.
In fact, he sent Chen Baolian's brand-name clothes and jewelry, and Chen Baolian did not like it.
Until her death, the designer clothes were still piled up in the apartment where she once lived, and even the labels were not removed.
When she first arrived in Taiwan, Chen Baolian also worked hard for her career.
She knew that it would be difficult for her to have a major transformation in film and television works, so she wanted to learn from Ye Yuqing's curve to save the country.
Completely transform into a singer, sing some famous songs, you also have the right to choose roles.
During that time, she went on the radio, recorded programs, and also visited Zhang Fei, the eldest brother of Taiwanese variety shows.
At that time, there were news reports that Zhang Fei had pursued Chen Baolian, and until Chen Baolian's death, the report was written like this.
But around 2010, Zhang Fei suddenly took a bite back, saying that Chen Baolian frequently sent Qiu Bo to herself in order to transform into a singer.
Chen Baolian is a righteous person, she has lived a hard life, but she has never been stingy to help others.
But any friend's work needs help, as long as he opens his mouth, Chen Baolian can help him.
When he was developing in Taiwan, Hou Xiaoxian was filming "Sea Flower", and he needed a girl who could speak authentic Shanghainese to voice "Shen Xiaohong" in the film.
A friend recommended Chen Baolian, and she agreed without saying a word.
At that time, her mental state was still good, the dubbing work was going very smoothly, director Hou Xiaoxian was very satisfied, but Chen Baolian insisted on not asking for remuneration.
Later, "Three Visions" wanted to find Chen Baolian to make a short film, and When Hou Xiaoxian directed "Millennium Mambo", he also wanted to find Chen Baolian to play a friend of Shu Qi, the heroine of the film.
Unfortunately, at that time, Chen Baolian's mental state was not very good, and the two cooperations were not negotiated.
Stills from Hou Xiaoxian's "Flowers on the Sea"
Chen Baolian is too stupid, too lacking in love, and too eager for love.
It is precisely because of this that she regards the kind of "love" that Huang Renzhong gave her like a pet kitten and puppy as a treasure, and when she found that Huang Renzhong wanted to say this "love" back, she tried her best to save it.
He even did not hesitate to torture and destroy himself as a weight to obtain a little pitiful "heartache" in Huang Renzhong.
After Chen Baolian was kicked out of the mansion by Huang Renzhong, she tried to repair the relationship in many ways, and finally even stripped down in front of Huang Renzhong's mansion, but did not recall Huang Renzhong.
Until her death, until she left a testament that "Baolian still loves him when she dies", Huang Renzhong did not recognize Chen Baolian as his favorite, nor did he mention that Chen Baolian was his favorite.
Just a cursory remark, the two of them really have a deep affection.
Regarding how Chen Baolian and Huang Renzhong "broke up", there are many opinions on the Internet.
One is that the scandal between Zhang Fei and Chen Baolian angered Huang Renzhong, and the other is that Huang Renzhong found out that Chen Baolian was addicted to drugs, and although he was addicted to alcohol, he could not bear the people around him to make such a principled mistake, so he drove Chen Baolian out of the mansion.
The credibility of the second claim is slightly higher, and Huang Renzhong was interviewed once after Chen Baolian's death, and his evaluation of Chen Baolian was "a good person."
Sighing that Chen Baolian taught too many wine and meat friends, and said that she was too young, she always did not know the height of the sky, because the wine and meat friends taught a lot, and her head was not very sober.
In fact, before the breakup, Huang Renzhong also tried to save Chen Baolian, he gave her a large amount of money to send her abroad to study, wanting her to stay away from this group of "wine and meat friends".
But Chen Baolian only stayed in Japan for a few months and could not stay, and then went to Canada, so she went around in different countries until she finally ran out of money that Huang Renzhong gave himself.
After breaking up with Huang Renzhong, Chen Baolian frequently made headlines for her "crazy" behavior.
Hitting people in public places, buying jewelry without giving money to maliciously hurt people, running to police stations to make a big fuss, getting out of control at the airport, and even news of beating people abroad and being sentenced to imprisonment.
In 1998, Chen Baolian, who was out of control, even took out a knife she carried with her at the press conference and slashed it at her wrist, and the staff rushed to the stage to stop her, and the press conference and interview were forced to be interrupted.
Chen Baolian's life is an absurd movie that has long been predicted to have an ending.
The audience's media slowly watched her change from a high and cold color to the 'four crazy kings', and one news after another, one movie after another, pressed the fast-forward button for her life.
When he received the news of Chen Baolian's death, Huang Renzhong was eating and listened to the silence for a long time.
Less than two years after Chen Baolian's death, Huang Renzhong also died of illness.
It is said that he left most of the jewelry to Chen Baolian when distributing the inheritance, and did not forget to advise those around him when he died.
"I used to send her, she didn't want it. But each of you brought something better than her..."
Perhaps before death came, Huang Renzhong finally wanted to understand that what Chen Baolian loved had not been his own money.
After Pauline Chen's death, her mother presided over her funeral.
There are more than 50 people who have the most famous people to wear makeup for her, light security guards and staff, and all the supplies are the best.
At the funeral, her mother touched Chen Baolian's cold face several times and cried until she convulsed.
At the end of her life, Chen Baolian did not get the maternal love and care she had longed for for a long time, and they came at the end of her life.
It was late, and I didn't know if Chen Baolian would be happy if she knew.
At that time, many people said that they wanted to adopt Chen Baolian's son, including Huang Renzhong.
But the last person to adopt this little friend was Qiu Likuan, Faye Wong's agent, who had little intersection with Chen Baolian.
Faye Wong paid for it, and Qiu Likuan contributed.
The children have now grown into big and small guys, and their surname should also be the same as their mother's surname Qiu.
The young man grew up in love, and Chen Baolian should be happy to see it.
Qiu Likuan and his son
Do you remember this Chen Baolian who was once "beautiful" and absolutely fragrant?
