Writer Cao Yu's famous book "Thunderstorm", since its inception, has been interpreted into a movie by many directors. When I was a child, I did not expect to watch a piece of "Thunderstorm", which was actually the four phoenixes starring Hong Kong movie star Shi Hui, who was poignant and mournful, and made people cry.
In the 1950s, Hong Kong's Great Wall Pictures praised three young actresses, known as the "Three Princesses of the Great Wall". And Shi Hui, who has a temperament like Lan, is the "second princess" among them. Today, among the three princesses, Xia Meng and Chen Sisi are already under the Nine Springs, while Shi Hui and her husband Fu Qi have been together for more than sixty years from green silk to white head.
The most surprising thing is that the two were imprisoned by the British government in Hong Kong in the 1960s, and the fearlessness they showed was really impressive...

Shi Hui, formerly known as Sun Huili, was born in Nanjing in 1934. There was a rumor that she was the illegitimate daughter of Sun Yat-sen's descendant, Sun Ke, who had not been officially announced, but only laughed at it. However, Shi Hui, who grew up in Shanghai, came from a well-to-do family, and she not only studied piano and ballet, but also knew English and French. Best of all, she also sings classical operas in Italian. In an instant, a talented and beautiful Bai Fumei appeared in front of him.
In 1948, Shi Hui's family moved to Hong Kong, where she studied at the Hong Kong Academy of Letters. On New Year's Day 1951, at the invitation of the famous director Gu Jie, Shi Hui went to Nanguo Pictures to perform dance. The Sun family has a female growth, Shi Hui's elegant and elegant bridesmaid style, which makes Yuan Yang, the owner of Great Wall Pictures, move in peace, and he decided to recruit this good seedling to his own company. In the face of the great opportunity that fell from the sky, Shi Hui was not moved, and she explained to Boss Yuan very measuredly, "As a student, you should still focus on your studies, as for joining Great Wall Pictures, you still need to consider it after graduation." “

At the end of 1951, at the invitation of Boss Yuan, Shi Hui joined Great Wall Pictures. Immediately after the January 1952 "Great Wall Pictorial", Shi Hui became a cover girl, which shows the company's strong support for her. Shi Hui's first film, "Lady Figure", is the work of the great director Bu Wancang, and she is actually the heroine. Shi Hui, who debuted on the big screen, was calm and unhurried, which made Bu Dao and his boss Yuan very happy. Subsequently, Shi Hui collaborated with Xia Meng in "A Family Spring", in which she played Xia Meng's daughter, a little girl who could play the piano. The complete piece she plays is presented in the film from beginning to end.
Vivid acting skills, girly temperament, and versatile skills made Shi Hui quickly become popular at an unexpected speed. The Great Wall Pictorial also said that this is also unprecedented in the film industry. Great Wall Pictures, the "Three Princesses of the Great Wall".
Shi Hui's fans also spontaneously established the "Second Princess Protection Association" for her, the purpose of which is "God created her, that is, to make people envy, pity and protect." This purpose, looking at it after N years, is simply like a god. Shi Hui's life is really accompanied by envy, pity, and protection for a lifetime. No, Shi Hui's future other half, Fu Qi, appeared.

Fu Qi was born in 1929 in Shenyang, Liaoning Province. Growing up in Qingpu, Shanghai, he graduated from the Department of Civil Engineering at St. John's University in Shanghai. In 1949, he came to Hong Kong. Originally, Fu Qi was a science and engineering man, but he had a deep interest in movies. One day, he and his friends came to visit the shooting site of Great Wall Pictures.
The film "Evil Sea Flower" is in progress, and it is also a joint work of Xia Meng and Shi Hui. It wasn't until late at night that Fu Qi left with all his heart' desire. Fu Qi would not have thought that he, who was elegant in temperament and tall, fell into the eyes of Boss Yuan and was actually notified to audition at Great Wall Pictures. Fu Qi couldn't believe his ears, could a science and engineering man have to be in the same frame as a movie star? Fu Qi deliberately trimmed his hair and dressed up to audition. Everything was in danger, and Fu Qi was admitted.
Fu Qi's first play was "Honeymoon" with Shi Hui, which depicted the story of a newlywed couple paying off their debts. Subsequently, Fu Qi cooperated with Xia Meng in "Metropolis Symphony", chen Sisi in "Beauty Plan", and "Three Loves" with Lottie. In the view of Boss Yuan, although Fu Qi is a science and engineering man, he has a lot of acting talent, so he is trained as the company's first young student.
Fu Qi is really a god who appreciates food and eats, whether it is ancient or modern, whether it is tragedy or comedy, whether it is literary drama or martial arts, he can easily ride the road and perform freely. In the hearts of the majority of fans, he and Shi Hui are the most opposed, and they are the best CP on the screen.

In fact, Fu Qi and Shi Hui have long identified each other, and when traveling together, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, they often find colleague Zhang Bingqian (Guan Zhilin's birth mother) to act as a light bulb. Fortunately, Zhang Bingxi is happy to be an adult beauty, and she raises her hand to work on the small CASE.
On March 6, 1954, 20-year-old Shi Hui married 25-year-old Fu Qi. Among the three princesses of the Great Wall, she was the first to marry. The wedding was held in the High Court, and the old elevator and the couple made a joke of stopping halfway, trapping the couple and the couple inside. In desperation, everyone worked together to pry open a slit, and the new person crawled out of the slit. Fortunately, there is no danger, and everything is safe.
Shi Hui and Fu Qi's wedding was made into a 20-minute documentary, and when the movie "Metropolis Symphony" was released, it was added to its wedding special. The publicity of Great Wall Pictures is unparalleled, and the combination of Shi Hui and Fu Qi has penetrated half of the sky in Hong Kong.
In Fu Qi's eyes, Shi Hui was the treasure in the palm of his hand, and her smile and every move were heartwarming appearances. Shi Hui has a good hand of calligraphy, and Ouyang Qian's font is her favorite, with strict structure and beautiful handwriting. Shek Wai has a good singing voice, and at the City Hall in Hong Kong, she was the first movie star to hold a bel canto concert. In addition, Shi Hui not only can act, she also served as a field reporter in the film "Mandarin Dream Revisited", while Fu Jun Fu Qi served as an assistant director. Such a talented woman in Jiangnan, in time, may become an outstanding director. Acting and directing well, perhaps it is the direction of Shi Hui and Fu Qi's progress.

The wheel of history, to 1966. When the Cultural Revolution broke out in the mainland, Great Wall Pictures, as the representative of Hong Kong's leftist films, was also implicated. Faced with such a complicated and chaotic situation, after Xia Meng finished filming "Yingchun Flower", he announced that he would stop filming and the family would move to Canada; Chen Sisi and her husband Jun Gaoyuan, separated from Great Wall Pictures, and went to Taiwan with Boss Yuan and others. Shi Hui and Fu Qi resolutely stayed in Hong Kong.
In May 1967, an anti-British labor boom broke out in Hong Kong, and Shi Hui and Fu Qi were the leaders of the Revolutionary Committee. They walked in the front line of anti-British resistance with red books in their hands, which became a symbol of bloody anti-British resistance at that time.
On July 15, 1967, armed police broke into the Shi Hui family's home, arrested them, and were imprisoned in a concentration camp at Moxingling. Shi Hui is not afraid of power and always shows strength. Whenever a new person came in, she would always sing a song "My Motherland" to give the inmates spiritual support.
On March 15, 1968, Shi Hui and Fu Qi were deported by the government. The two stood on the Luohu Bridge for more than twenty hours, never leaving the Hong Kong boundary. On the side of the Luohu Bridge, the Chinese loudspeaker said that "the British government in Hong Kong persecuted Fu Qi and Shi Hui and wanted to deport them, but in fact they did not care whether they left or not, because Hong Kong is also part of China's territory." In the end, it was the British government in Hong Kong who took Shi Hui and his wife into custody, but they remained in Hong Kong. It is said that after Shaw signed bail, the two were freed.
Since then, Hong Kong's left-wing films have declined, and the golden acting careers of Shi Hui and Fu Qi have also ended early. However, Shi Hui and her husband are still in the same boat, facing various difficulties and setbacks together. Later, Shi Hui became a social activist, and she served as a deputy to the National People's Congress, the director of the actor's office of Great Wall Pictures, the chairman of the South China Film Workers Association of Hong Kong, and the general manager of the Overseas Chinese Development and Trade Department of the Hong Kong Yindu Agency. Fu Qi, the husband, took over the position of general manager of Great Wall Pictures, and he had a business acumen to turn the company in poor financial condition into a crisis.

In the early 1980s, the movie "Shaolin Temple" swept the country. The producer of this film is Zhongyuan Pictures, a joint venture between Fu Qi and director Zhang Xinyan. Fu Qi's pair of wise eyes recommended Jet Li to Zhang Dao, making him famous all over the world. Saying that Fu Qi is Jet Li's film Bole should be deserved. Then, Fu Qi produced the movies "Shaolin Kid" and "North and South Shaolin", helping Jet Li's film career to a higher level.
In the 1990s, Shi Hui immigrated to Canada with her husband, Junfu Qi. Every year, they take a cruise ship to a place they haven't been before. On ordinary days, Shi Hui is quiet, calligraphy, painting, reading novels, that is her favorite. And Fu Qi is active, playing tennis, rubbing mahjong, and the days are happy.
Whenever a reporter asks about the thrilling past of that year, Shi Hui will always say lightly: "Life is a stage, and when it has passed, it will pass, and I will no longer think about it." "Don't mention the past again, life has been stormy."
Shi Hui and Fu Qi, together for 68 years, no wind and rain can escape, no ups and downs do not have to go, so hold your hand at ease, do not think about whether to turn back...
