It is said that beautiful people are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world.
In the 1980s, there were "four beauties" in the Taiwanese film industry: Lin Qingxia, Hu Yinmeng, Hu Huizhong, and Zhou Danwei, who amazed the time and gentled the years, and still left a beautiful memory for film fans.

At the same time, there was also a female star who could be called "absolutely beautiful", and was even determined by Qiong Yaoqin as Lin Qingxia's successor.
She, with black hair like a waterfall, temperament like lan, beauty can be compared with Qingxia, more good at playing the pipa, earlier than Wang Zuxian recognized as "the most classical temperament of the actress" -
She is Lu Xiuling.
She has cooperated with Lin Qingxia in two plays "Burn It, Firebird" and "Flag Fluttering", and is one of the few female stars who is in the same frame as Lin Qingxia and will not be glamorous.
On May 26, a recent photo of Lu Xiuling was exposed by Taiwan media.
Everyone who saw it exclaimed: Where does this look like a 58-year-old woman? Sure enough, there is poetry and bookishness in the belly, and natural beauty is natural beauty.
Lu Xiuling was born on January 29, 1962 in Taiwan Province.
He learned piano at the age of 6, pipa at the age of 10, and won the first prize as the youngest participant in a music competition at the age of 12.
At the age of 17, he won the championship with a beautiful pipa solo in the "Five Lights Award" in Taiwan Television, and Qiong Yao under the stage took a look at Lu Xiuling.
Aunt Qiong Yao's aesthetic is first-class, and the Qiong Yao girls are all beautiful, but they lack one who can pipa.
At that time, Lin Qingxia, who was 8 years older than Lu Xiuling, had been popular for a long time and was about to transform, and Lü Xiuling appeared just right.
Therefore, after Qiong Yao signed 17-year-old Lu Xiuling, she tailored "Gathering and Scattering Two Yiyi" in 1981, and Lü Xiuling partnered with Zhong Zhentao.
I have to say that Qiong Yao is too good at praising people, and Lu Xiuling really lives up to expectations.
In "Gathering and Scattering Two Yiyi", she starred as the newly widowed "He Panyun", who can play the piano and the pipa, a pair of water autumn pupils seem to be sad, and Gu Panjian is breathtaking.
As a result, Lu Xiuling became famous in one fell swoop.
Subsequently, In 1981, Lu Xiuling cooperated with Qin Han and Zhong Zhentao to star in another Qiong Yao movie "The Clothes of Dreams", in which one person played two roles.
It is precisely because of this play that Lu Xiuling and Qin Han passed out a scandal.
Is it to promote "The Clothes of Dreams"? Or did the two really fall in love because of the drama?
At that time, Lin Qingxia and Qin Xianglin were engaged, Qin Han was in frustration, and Lu Xiuling was asked by reporters, "Is Qin Han your lover?" He replied vaguely, "I don't know."
But one thing is certain, the two got along well in "The Clothes of Dreams", and a year later, Qin Han directed a movie "Iron Blooded Detective" by himself, and found Lu Xiuling as the heroine.
Interestingly, just when the romance of the three was written by the media as fantastic and true, Qiong Yao simply let Lin Qingxia and Lu Xiuling play a pair of sisters in the 1982 movie "Burn It, Firebird".
In this love film, the focus is on sisterhood, and the sister played by Lin Qingxia gives up her sweetheart Liu Wenzheng to her blind sister Lu Xiuling.
At that time, the newspaper commented: Lu Xiuling snatched Lin Qingxia's boyfriend in the play, and also stole the joy of the fans outside the play.
Liu Wenzheng and Lu Xiuling have also become the hottest screen CP.
The two of them collaborated on three films, "Cloud and Retained", "But on the Heart" and "Burn It, Firebird", not only in appearance, but also have musical talent.
So far, many people have mistaken their wedding stills for the wedding photos of Lu Xiuling and her husband.
In the three years after her debut, Lu Xiuling had 6 Qiong Yao movies in hand, which were red through half the sky.
It is said that the restaurants and hair salons that filled the street at that time were all posted with large beautiful photos of her.
In 1983, Silver World held the "Top Ten Stars" selection, and Lu Xiuling ranked fifth, surpassing Hu Huizhong and Zhao Yazhi, and lin Qingxia, Zhong Chuhong, Wang Mingquan and Ye Qianwen were ranked ahead of her.
Becoming a first-line actress took only three years, and when she was juxtaposed with Lin Qingxia and others, Lu Xiuling was only 21 years old.
But fate was so turned over for the clouds to cover the hands for the rain, in 1983, Qiong Yao's superstar company collapsed.
Qiong Yao's last film, "Last Night's Lamp", was originally starred by Lu Xiuling, Zheng Shaoqiu and Fei Xiang.
However, when Lu Xiuling was shooting, she had a serious illness and had to pause shooting.
Half a year later, "Last Night's Lamp" restarted, and Qiong Yao believed that the poor box office of the previous movie "Ask Xieyang" was due to the combination of "Lv Xiuling + Yunzhong Yue", which made the audience feel no fresh, so she found Chen Yulian to replace Lu Xiuling.
However, after the release of "Last Night's Lamp" in 1982, it had poor word of mouth and failed at the box office.
Qiong Yao's superstar company has had several consecutive films that have not done well at the box office, resulting in Qiong Yao announcing that she will no longer make movies, and "Qiong Yao girls" such as Lin Qingxia and Lu Xiuling have turned to Hong Kong.
Letting go of the aura of "Qiong Yao Girl", Lu Xiuling did not want to repeat the same Chu Chu pitiful in the love film, cut her hair short, and specially picked a different script from the past.
Lui's first film in Hong Kong was the Cantonese horror film "The Devil's Womb" produced by Luo Wei.
Who could have predicted that this "Magic Fetus" wrote the inflection point of Lu Xiuling's film career, and she tried to transform in the next ten years, but she could not successfully reach the top like Lin Qingxia and Wang Zuxian.
Especially in 1984, Lui Xiuling suffered the first shock and injury after entering the Hong Kong film industry.
At that time, she took over the Shaw movie "Walking Artillery", and the opposite with her was Wan Ziliang, who was in good condition.
The role of Lu Xiuling is no longer a little princess born for love, but a treasure that can play treasure, very spicy, and innocent with a hint of cunning.
In this movie, there is a bathtub scene between Wan Ziliang and Lu Xiuling.
The whole scene was only more than ten seconds, when shooting, Lu Xiuling did a good job of protection, and as a result, because she was wearing white clothes, she was accidentally photographed in a faint light shot.
Before the film was released, the media actually published a picture of Lu Xiuling's gang dress, and the title was also marked with words such as "lightly dissolve the cloak of pure love, willingly destroy the image, and voluntarily expose the delicate body".
Lü Xiuling was horrified and humiliated, and lodged a solemn protest with Shao.
She thought she had personally examined the film at the time, and she had no intention of being deliberately naked, and she could not predict that it would be used by the filmmakers as a publicity gimmick.
At that time, Lu Xiuling issued a statement to emphasize that she was not off the star, and got the support of Zhang Aijia.
Lu Xiuling refused to promote "Walking Artillery", and because of this, she became a feud with Shaw, and after the film was released, because of the impact of this incident, it did not create a hot box office.
What should have been a great opportunity for transformation was overshadowed.
Lu Xiuling not only had a vendetta against Shao, but also became a liangzi with the media, so at that time, there was a scandal against her, saying that she was chasing Jackie Chan, who already had a family.
It is even rumored that Lin Fengjiao, who is also a "Qiong Yao girl", "banned" Lü Xiuling for this purpose.
The picture above is Lv Xiuling on the left and Lin Fengjiao on the right.
In 2010, Du Huidong, former director of Jiahe Propaganda, published "Twinkles of The Stars", and Lu Xiuling pursued Jackie Chan, many people said that this book was fictional, but Du Huidong said that he was loyal to the facts: "Otherwise, I will be cut down!" ”
However, although Lu Xiuling has not worked with Jackie Chan on the film, and can not find evidence to confirm whether she was really banned, she did not shoot for two years after "Walking Artillery".

To this end, Lu Xiuling had to give it a go, and in 1986, she made two films with scale breakthroughs:
One is the love film "Heart Lock", she appeared naked, which can be called the biggest transformation of her film career, cooperating with Lin Ruiyang, Li Zongsheng and Yu Xiaofan;
The film, which depicts an uncle and sister-in-law, is based on a novel by female writer Guo Lianghui, which caused controversy, and plans to release it were halted in Taiwan.
The second is the comedy film "I Want a Golden Turtle Son-in-Law", starring Lu Xiuling and Chen Xunqi, and written by Wong Kar-wai;
In the film, she is sexy and cute in one, and also shows a fragrant back, which is a good performance in all fairness, but the film itself is not highly evaluated.
In the ten years of filming in Hong Kong, although Lui Xiuling boldly broke through and sought to grow her acting skills, the response of many starring films was mediocre.
The most regrettable thing is that she and Andy Lau collaborated on the gangster movie "Soaring City" in 1989.
This film is considered to be one of Andy Lau's best gangster films, Lu Xiuling played the big guy's lover "Asue" in the film, with affection and righteousness, sexy and hot, beautiful!
However, this sadistic and tragic film was not favored by the audience at that time.
Look at the top three hong Kong film box office in 1989, and you can understand what the audience liked at that time: Chow Yun Fat's "God of Gamblers", Jackie Chan's "Miracle", Huang Baiming's "Family Fun".

At the peak of the Hong Kong film industry in the 1990s, there were "double Mondays" and "Kasumi Yu Fanghong".
Lin Qingxia and Wang Zuxian, who also switched from Taiwan to Hong Kong, have found their own positions, but Lu Xiuling left the literary and artistic romance film, but never found a foothold in her career.
Later, she even played supporting roles in films such as "The Golden Hotel" and "Rich and Happy Ghost".

In 1993, a year before Lu Xiuling announced the end of the film, she took over her only kung fu film, "Huang Feihong's Ghost Foot Seven", starring with Wu Ma and Yuan Biao.
The action design is great, but the plot is short,And Lu Xiuling's scenes are not brilliant enough.
In the same year, she made the only film in her life that won her an award: "The Story of Yunnan".
Starring with Pu Cunxin, director Zhang Nunxin and Lu Xiuling played an orphan, and won the "Best Actress" of the 4th Shanghai Film Critics Awards for this film.
In fact, Lu Xiuling had the opportunity to develop in Japan at that time.
In 1990, she filmed "Waiting to Strike" directed by Takaji Wakamatsu, with partners Momoi Fumi and Harada Yoshio, and was the first Hong Kong and Taiwan actress to officially appear in a Japanese film.
In 1991, the film was ranked fourth among Japan's top ten high-grossing films, but the subsequent works did not keep up, and the plan to enter Japan was lost.
In 1994, 32-year-old Lu Xiuling announced that she was out of the picture.
In 1998, the 36-year-old Lu Xiuling married Xie Aiwen, president of Warner Bros. Pictures Europe, and the two have been in love for six years, and after marriage, they have lived in New York, London and other places.
The couple shared a common hobby, and Aven graduated from the prestigious Juilliard School of Music, majoring in violin.
One can play the violin, one can pipa; one can play strings, one silk bamboo, and its music is harmonious.
In 2007, Lu Xiuling came to Shanghai with her husband, and her mother is a Shanghainese, so she said that living here is very kind and comfortable.
In 2018, Lu Xiuling also established the International Advisory Committee of the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra, serving as the vice chairman of the board.
After the film, Lu Xiuling made a casual appearance, and each time she was amazed by four seats.
For example, in 2012, the 50-year-old appeared at an event, with a beautiful figure and good looks, which made it impossible to imagine that she was more than half a hundred years old.
"Since then, the long skirt should be laughed at, and the soup will be washed for the king."
It is said that after Lu Xiuling got married, she invited friends to visit her home, and her cooking skills were very good.
In Qiong Yao's film, the fairy who does not eat human fireworks has finally become a housewife who cooks a good dish.
If there is anything imperfect in this marriage, it is that the couple has no heirs.
Lu Xiuling has not had a child because of the ovarian surgery, for this regret, she said: there are two love cats to accompany, just treat them as children.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > concluding remarks</h1>
Although Lu Xiuling is silent, the pipa is always with her.
In 1995 and 1997, she released two albums, Cold Strings and Amorous, with Andrew Lum and Bobbida respectively, and was well received in the industry.
The reel plucks the strings two or three times, and there is emotion before the tune is formed. In music, she is always an ageless pipa fairy.
I remember that Bai Juyi, in "Pipa Line", once described the moment when the pipa girl remembered her youth so imaginatively:
"Late at night, I dream of juvenile affairs, and I dream of tears and tears."
However, in real life, Lu Xiuling recalls her short film career, which may not be so tragic.
From her debut in 1981 to her retirement in 1994, she became a first-line actress at the age of less than 20, and after three years of popularity, she stumbled in frustration and helplessness for nearly a decade.
After experiencing great popularity, great ups and downs, natural beauty, and the proud daughter of heaven, such as her, she finally realized what it is: the sun and the moon are gone, and the time is not with me.
Therefore, when Lin Qingxia published books and went on variety shows to communicate with former fans, Lu Xiuling was already in a calm life, and in the face of many comeback invitations, she closed the door.
The hand tuned the plain piano, and the song had a confidant.
Among the many unfortunate and ill-fated Qiong Yao girls, she broke the "law" of red face and thin life, who can say that Lu Xiuling, who chose to retreat from the rapids, is not smart?
