01 Romantic and sad first love, never see each other again
In 1973, Hui Yinghong, who had been begging and selling goods at the Wan Chai pier for 10 years, met an eighteen-year-old American sailor, and 7 days later, this youthful first love completely disappeared, and Hui Yinghong went around and turned around, and she is still alone at the age of 62. But she said:
"If I met him again and he proposed to me, I would really promise him, I don't know if it's good or bad, it doesn't matter if I try it."
At that time, Hui Yinghong was only 13 years old, and she brought wholesale chewing gum and chopsticks to sell at the Wan Chai pier, which was the most foreign.
Due to special historical reasons, the Wan Chai pier has gathered many foreign sailors, and in order to meet their needs, it is full of bars, brothels, drug addiction and other things are not uncommon.
In such a mixed environment, the sailor named John gave Hui Yinghong a completely different impression. Hui Yinghong said that he never went to the bar, but often sat silently on the side, watching her sell things, and occasionally came up to talk when she was not busy.
A delicate affection creeps up between the little boy and the little girl, but reluctantly, after only 7 days, John obeys the order to return to the battlefield.
Before leaving, John gave Hui Yinghong all the Hong Kong dollars left on his body and asked her how to say "I love you" in Cantonese.
He learned it with a broken accent, told it to Hye Young-hong, and then went away.
Hui Yinghong said that many familiar foreigners have written to her later to greet her about her recent situation, but she has not received a single word from John.
Maybe John has died in battle, maybe he has already returned to his hometown, married and had children, and has forgotten that he once met an innocent little girl in the far east, but Hui Yinghong has not forgotten.
Later Hui Yinghong, not without other feelings of fate, but now she is still alone, she said that she still believes in love, if one day and the dying John passed by, will not hesitate to hold his hand.
But fate did not seem to intend to give Hui Yinghong a smooth life at the beginning. Not being loved is not the greatest suffering in Hui Yinghong's life.
02 From the fall of the grid to the "first dozen women", it is not easy
Obviously the daughter of the Manchurian Zhenghuangqi family, but forced to go to the red light district as a beggar at the age of three, what did Hui Yinghong experience in her life?
In Hui Yinghong's memory, her father was once a young master with feet on the ground when he was in his hometown in Qingdao, and his mother was also a young grandmother who wore a cheongsam and jewelry.
However, it is such a family, after leaving home and coming to Hong Kong, because there is no rich enough life experience, a few boxes of gold were deceived, and Hui Yinghong, who was born in Hong Kong, also changed from a gege to a poor child.
At the worst time, the family can only borrow a small place under someone else's house. In order to solve the livelihood, the brothers and sisters were sent to the theater, and the fourth brother Hui Tianci later became an actor like Hui Yinghong.
Before becoming an actress, Hui Yinghong began to ask for food from the age of 3 and did not attend school for a day.
The words she knew and the truths she learned were all written out by her father on the sand with a toothpick and taught to her, and her father also told Hui Yinghong that no matter what, she must read, be a learned person, and cannot give up on herself.
Because of this, when Hui Yinghong was 13 years old, she was determined to get out of the non-gambling or yellow dock and stop begging. While learning to dance in a ballroom, she longed for the opportunity to become an actress.
On this day, the big director Zhang Che came to the dance hall to select the dragon set actors, and Hui Yinghong, who had been promoted to the leading dance position, was immediately selected.
After years of experience, she did not behave like an inexperienced newcomer at all, and she also did not understand that because she could endure hardships, she replaced a popular actress who could not stand the intensity of martial arts, and got the opportunity to play the second heroine of Mu Nianci.
Subsequently, Hui Yinghong was appreciated by director Liu Jialiang because of her intelligence and ability to combine dance movements and martial arts design, and became a member of Liu Jialiang's class.
At that time, martial arts movies were popular, but female martial arts like Hui Yinghong were rare, and she cherished the hard-won opportunities very much, even if she was hit by more than forty punches from male martial arts, she could persist to the end, so soon Hui Yinghong ushered in the day of her head.
In 1982, Hui Yinghong won the Best Actress Award at the 1st Hong Kong Film Awards for her kung fu film "The Elders", in fact, she is still the only action actress to win this award.
In the following years, Hui Yinghong's "first dozen women" status was unshakable.
However, with the changes in the film market, martial arts films began to decline, and Hui Yinghong also lost a place because she was unwilling to play a supporting role in the popular literary and artistic romance films.
This directly led to the fact that the second Academy Awards trophy of powerful actor Hui Yinghong was only late after 27 years.
03 After committing suicide, he came back and won two Academy Awards Queen's Trophies
In 2005, Hui Yinghong won the Queen's Throne of the Academy Awards for the second time with "Heart Demon", and the reason why she could not cry was because it had been a full 27 years since she first won the award, and in these 27 years, she experienced unimaginable birth, old age, illness and death, nirvana rebirth at the same time, but also saw the vicissitudes of the world.
When she won the award for the first time, Hui Yinghong was only 22 years old.
After the heyday of martial arts films passed, Hui Yinghong was reluctant to change from the front line to a supporting role in literary and art films, and the film contract became less and less. Because of the birth of a woman, many people have not regarded Hui Yinghong as an actress, so in order to commemorate her youth and to prove that she can be an excellent actress with soft lines, Hui Yinghong went to Paris to shoot a photo of the main sports style.
Because of this photo album, Hui Yinghong was disliked by her boyfriend at the time, and ordered her not to go to a friend's party, Hui Yinghong believed that she had not done anything wrong, but the other party did not respect herself, so she took the initiative to break up.
After no film appointment, Hui Yinghong opened a beauty salon, smiling attentively with customers during the day, and rubbing hemp all night at night, such a day made her feel at a loss, coupled with emotional unhappiness, the seeds of depression began to breed in her heart.
"In three years, first hate everyone, then hate myself later, then go, I committed suicide." 」
After being rescued by her family, Hui Yinghong looked at her tearful mother and sister and realized that she was sick, because suicide was not a decision she would make when she was sober.
"The worst thing I've ever done was suicide." Later Hui Yinghong said so.
When she said this, Hui Ying's red wind was light, but in fact, in order to start again, she stayed up for 5 years.
After the comeback, Hui Yinghong tasted the cold and warmth of the human world, some people watched her fall up and step on two feet, and some people desperately took her running resources to find connections, all of which made Hui Yinghong remember.
When He Yuheng, the director of "Heart Demon", found Hui Yinghong and explained that the character was a mental illness, Hui Yinghong also joked that I had been mentally ill for a long time.
"Heart Devil" made Hui Yinghong reach the peak again, in order to repay the favor, at the age of 57, Hui Yinghong starred in He Yuheng's first action film "mrs k". Although the film caused Hye Young-hong to relapse from her old injuries and permanently cripple her left knee, she still felt that this help had to be helped.
So far, Hui Yinghong has won a total of three Academy Awards post-film trophies, and when she won the award for the first time, she lost her father who loved her the most, and could only put the movie ticket in front of her father's spiritual seat to comfort her father's spirit in heaven. When winning the second and third prizes, Hui Yinghong lost her brother and mother respectively.
Hui Yinghong's life is an endless scenery in the eyes of those who do not know her, and only she herself knows that suffering has never been far away.
Probably the same is true of many people's lives.
But as Hui Yinghong said, people must abide by the rules of life when they are alive, and the rules are to live well and never give up, what do you think?
