The 70s and 80s belonged to the golden period of Qiong Yao opera, and now the old opera bones such as Lin Qingxia, Liu Xuehua, Chen Derong, etc., which we are familiar with, are all artists discovered by Qiong Yao.
In fact, the style of qiongyao girls is very remarkable - pure love and pitiful "little white flowers", even crying is very moving.
The founder of this style is Lu Xiuling, who has quit the entertainment industry for 20 years, and she can be described as the first Qiong Yao girl who was famous in the Chinese-speaking area with the image of a pure jade woman.
However, due to the fact that after getting married, netizens knew very little about the situation after Lu Xiuling retired from the circle, until Zhong Zhentao, as an old partner of the screen, recently updated the dynamics and issued a photo with Lu Xiuling, and the public found that she still maintained an excellent state as a vegetarian.
In the photo, she cut a neat shoulder-length short hair, dressed plain and elegant, 58-year-old Lu Xiuling has maintained her skin so that there is no trace of wrinkles, as Zhong Zhentao said: time has not left any traces on her face.
Of course, Zhong Zhentao on the side also maintained a good state, after all, he was also 67 years old, but he was still very energetic.
In addition to posting the latest group photo, Zhong Zhentao also attached a photo of the two more than thirty years ago, recalling their youth with fans.
Many young netizens may not know that the two have collaborated in the film and television works written by Qiong Yao.
In 1981, Lu Xiuling had just debuted, and was favored by Qiong Yao with her ability to play the pipa, and was immediately vigorously cultivated, and her debut work was "Gathering and Dispersing Two Yiyi" with Zhong Zhentao.
Looking at the movies of that year from today's perspective, you may feel that the plot is slightly bloody and protracted, but at that time, the story compiled by Qiong Yao was at the forefront of the times.
Pan Yun, played by Lu Xiuling, is gentle and pleasant, coupled with a unique literary temperament, which makes her quickly become popular in the entertainment industry.
Subsequently, Qiong Yao arranged a second work for her, also with Zhong Zhentao's "Dream Clothes".
At this time, Lu Xiuling's development was quite good, once known as "Lin Qingxia's successor", and she also smoothly played a sister flower with Lin Qingxia in "Burn It, Firebird".
In order to seek a breakthrough, Lu Xiuling turned to the Hong Kong and mainland film circles after participating in several Qiong Yao works, constantly changing her own drama path.
But since getting married in 1998, she seems to have become "Buddhist", recording a pipa album in 2000 and then quitting the entertainment industry.
In the past 20 years, she has never returned to her acting career in any form, only met fans and journalists when she returned to Hong Kong in the past few years, and was photographed several times, and her temperament and beauty are still very prominent in the crowd.
Surprisingly, she and Zhong Zhentao have known each other for 39 years and can still maintain such a good friendship.
It can be seen that although her personality is introverted, her popularity in the circle is still good.
In general, compared with many old artists who have superficially withdrawn from the entertainment industry, but actually still comeback on variety shows from time to time and participate in live broadcasts with goods and gold, Lu Xiuling's "complete withdrawal from the circle" is very rare.
In the past two years, I believe that many viewers have been tired of watching the so-called reunion of the old crew and the return of old artists, and the initial touch has also become the final greasy taste.
Many stars who originally had a good image in the public's mind have squeezed their little heat and embarked on the show in the name of nostalgia.
Of course, this kind of money-making psychology can be understood, the entertainment industry is Vanity Fair, no one will feel that there is too much money and not enough fame.
But as an audience, you still can't help but feel sorry for this kind of phenomenon.
Everyone's respect and nostalgia for old artists stems from those excellent works and acting skills, constantly jumping between comeback and retreat, consuming not only popularity but also good reputation.
In contrast, Lu Xiuling can retire from the circle to get married at the peak, and can also maintain her usual calmness and stability when many older generation artists have returned on variety shows, only occasionally appearing on social platforms, but still focusing on personal life, which is not easy.
