Until now, in the hearts of many fans, Yang Likun is an irreplaceable name.
Even though she left us, it's been a full 19 years.
But for a person who brought us too many good feelings and dreams when we were young, how can we forget her?
She is so beautiful, charming, and graceful, the so-called "Wan'er smile, you can fall into the city", I have always felt that it is Yang Likun.
It's just that in her life, how can she be so ill-fated? She presented all her elegance to the world, but brought unbearable disasters to herself. Even when people reach middle age, they still have to endure the torment of illness, and when they are only 58 years old, they die. Is the world really fair to her? My answer was: No.
Fortunately, there are so many fans who have never forgotten her and have always kept her silently in their hearts.
Today, Yaqing wants to recall this beautiful goddess and former idol through the replay of old photos.
I have prepared 31 rare old photos of Yang Likun for everyone. From her introverted and melancholy childhood, to her star era when she starred in "Five Golden Flowers" and "Ashima", to her illness in middle age, to her group photo with many contemporaries in her later years, we can see a more real Yang Likun, and the beauty and sorrow of her life.
The picture above is a still of Yang Likun in the movie "Ashima", whose beautiful face and bright smile like a bright moon have surprised the eyes of many people.
Yang Likun was born in 1942 to a Yi family in Mohei Town, Pu'er City, Yunnan Province. She has 12 brothers and sisters, and she is the ninth in line, so her relatives affectionately call her "Little Nine". Xiao Jiu was well-behaved and obedient from a young age, and grew up happily with his mother. However, when she was 5 years old, her mother died of illness, which hit her particularly hard. Since then, her personality has become more sensitive and introverted, and she is very non-verbal. The picture above shows a group photo of Yang Likun and her second sister Huang Xiao in childhood. He looked very shy.
Later, Yang Likun's eldest sister took her to the home of huang Xiao, the second sister with slightly better family conditions. At that time, her second sister Huang Xiaozheng was serving as the chairman of the Yunnan Provincial Women's Federation, and her second brother-in-law, Zheng Dun, was also serving as the head of the organization department of Yunnan Province. They are very concerned about Yang Likun's growth and arrange for her to enter Kunming Jingguo Xincun Primary School. The picture above shows Yang Likun (second from left) in childhood, Huang Xiao (first from left), second brother-in-law Zheng Dun, and others in the compound of the Yunnan Provincial Party Committee.
How did Yang Likun get on the road of being an actor? It was 1954, and the teachers of the Yunnan Provincial Cultural and Labor Troupe noticed that there was a little girl dancing well at Xincun Primary School. Upon inquiring, I learned that her name was Yang Likun, and after strictly examining her, I absorbed her as a dancer. She was only 12 years old, the youngest actor in the troupe. But because she is talented and can practice hard, she quickly stands out and always stands out in a prominent position in dance performances. Above, she and her companions perform folk dances.
The picture above shows Yang Likun (the middle stander) performing a dance, which has the feeling of the stars holding the moon.
By 1956, Yang Likun had become a pillar actor in the troupe, often performing solo dances in performances. The picture above shows Yang Likun (front shot first from the right) taking a group photo with the dancers of the same troupe.
When Yang Likun was a teenager, her eyebrows were clear and her eyebrows were beautiful, and there was a melancholy temperament between her eyebrows.
The Yang family has a female first to grow up - Yang Likun, who is like a flower bone with buds waiting to be released.

In 1958, film studios across the country began to prepare a gift film for the tenth anniversary of the National Day. The long film studio is ready to start filming the movie "Five Golden Flowers" with songs and dances, and director Wang Jiayi came to Yunnan to select actors. At first, Yang Likun was not the first choice for the heroine of the film. Because her father was framed as a counter-revolutionary at that time, and the second sister and second brother-in-law had also been overthrown, such a good thing as making a movie could not fall on her. But coincidentally, one day when director Wang Jiayi came to the song and dance troupe, he suddenly saw Yang Likun, who was wiping glass, and he was immediately moved by the innocence and beauty of this girl. In this way, Yang Likun became the actor of the heroine vice president Jinhua in "Five Golden Flowers".
At the shooting scene of the movie "Five Golden Flowers", director Wang Jiayi was talking to Yang Likun.
The picture above shows Yang Likun (front left) and other crew members in front of the Beijing Railway Station during the filming of "Five Golden Flowers" that year. Among them are Zhu Yijin (front right, playing tractor hand Jinhua in the film), Li Wenwei (back left, playing vice president Jinhua's grandfather in the film), Zhang Xiong (back left, playing the nosy uncle in the film), and director Wang Jiayi in the middle of the back row.
When Yang Likun made the movie "Five Golden Flowers", she was only 17 years old. But inspired by director Wang Jiayi, her performance is very simple and moving, coupled with her delicate face like a camellia flower, making her a movie star loved and appreciated by audiences across the country at once.
Yang Likun, who became a star, was radiant.
After the filming of the movie "Five Golden Flowers", Yang Likun still returned to the song and dance troupe as a dancer. The picture above shows her in 1960 when she participated in a national tour with her companions in front of the Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge.
In 1960, the film "Five Golden Flowers" participated in the second Asian-African International Film Festival, and Yang Likun won the "Silver Eagle Award for Best Actress". At the same time, "Five Golden Flowers" has been screened in 46 countries and regions, and has been warmly welcomed and praised by audiences around the world.
Saying that Yang Likun was one of the most beautiful actresses of that era, I think no one would object, right?
In 1963, the Shanghai Film Studio planned to shoot the film "Ashima". The competition for the role of the heroine Ashima in the play is still quite large. But Yang Likun, who has bright eyes and bright teeth, still defeated other candidates and became the best candidate for Ashima.
The picture above shows Yang Likun's makeup when she portrayed Ashima.
When the movie "Ashima" was released, when Yang Likun appeared on the screen, the oriental beauty she showed immediately touched the hearts of all the audiences. The so-called real oriental beauty must be Yang Likun, right?
What is the closed moon shy flower, sinking fish and falling geese? I think Yang Likun made the best interpretation in "Ashima".
Because of starring in "Ashima", Yang Likun became more popular, and everywhere she went, she was warmly welcomed. The picture above shows Yang Likun, who was flourishing in 1965. She was 23 years old.
But she did not expect that with the advent of a movement, with the arrival of a special decade, her doom also began.
In 1966, Yang Likun was knocked to the ground because she participated in the two "Big Poisonous Weeds" movies "Five Golden Flowers" and "Ashima". But with a stubborn personality, she never admitted to the false accusations given to her. So she invited more brutal persecution and blows. She was imprisoned under the dark stage, subjected to endless destruction and humiliation. In the day-to-day interrogations, suddenly one day, her spirits were completely broken, and her nerves were no longer under control—she was crazy. Writing this, Yaqing's tears immediately poured out.
The key is that after Yang Likun fell ill, she could not get timely treatment, which made her condition more serious. It was not until 1972 that she was transferred to the Chenzhou Psychiatric Hospital in Hunan Province for treatment. And here, she met her future partner Tang Fenglou.
The appearance of Tang Fenglou should have brought a glimmer of light to Yang Likun's gray world at that time, and injected spring-like warmth into her cold atrium. At this time, Yang Likun's body shape was no longer slim because of her illness, and she did not have the style when she played Jinhua and Ashima, but she still gained rare happiness - she got the love of Tang Fenglou.
After Yang Likun and Tang Fenglou got married, on May 25, 1974, they gave birth to a pair of very cute twin sons, Tang Yan and Tang Tao. The picture above shows the family portrait of their family of four.
In 1978, Yang Likun was transferred to the Shanghai Film Studio to reunite with her husband and son who had been separated for many years. At this time, her condition improved greatly, and she often participated in social activities. Above, she (center) and the famous dance performance artist Dao Meilan (left) and others are group photo.
In 1982, Yang Likun was named one of the "Top Ten Best Actors in China". The picture above is a group photo of her and huang Wanqiu, an actor who became popular with "Liu Sanjie"- the same frame of the two goddesses, which is very rare.
On July 21, 2000, Yang Likun, the beauty god who had made it difficult for generations of viewers to forget, died of illness at the age of 58.
Yang Likun is gone, but her beauty and innocence will forever remain in the hearts of more fans. Today, when we revisit this former goddess, what kind of memories do we evoke? Welcome to interact with more fans and friends through the message area.
