Her life was like a short flower, a brief splendor.
She is the thinnest woman among Miss Hong Kong, but she is also the strongest.
In the movie "Murder List", she played a woman pregnant with a ghost fetus.
The meticulous acting skills and tense performances are still the most profound memories of a generation of middle-aged and elderly film fans.
She is Yu Qixia, a red-faced Miss Hong Kong.
In 1957, Yu was born in Hong Kong.
Her ancestral home is Shunde, Guangdong Province, and she attended middle school in Dewang.
When Yu Qixia was young, she grew very tall, and when she grew up, she actually grew to a tall height of 1 meter 8, standing in the crowd, standing tall.
20-year-old Yu Qixia, bright eyes and bright teeth, a black and bright shawl hair, such a talent condition, is destined to participate in the Miss Hong Kong contest.
Mentioning the Miss Hong Kong campaign is like a visual feast of Cinderella's gorgeous transformation.
The beauty pageant is the only way for many slum girls to change their fate.
Previous Hong Kong sister elections have been fought over.
If you can compete for the ranking, you will get the ticket to enter the development of the entertainment industry.
If you are lucky, making a few movies or TV series, not only can you make a name for yourself, but you may also be able to catch a golden turtle son-in-law, and since then, you will be reborn and change your ordinary life, such as Li Jiaxin, Cai Shaofen and other people, who came out of the road of Hong Kong sister, and their lives are now also full of spring breeze.
However, Yu Qixia is an exception, she is called the most miserable Hong Kong sister in history.
In 1977, 20-year-old Yu Qixia participated in the Hong Kong sister contest with many beautiful girls in Hong Kong.
In the beautiful and cloudy arena, Yu Qixia relied on her talent advantages, wit and courage to express her ability, successfully passed the audition, and broke through the barriers all the way and rushed into the final circle.
However, Yishan was taller than Yishan, and in the face of two competitors who pressed the crowd, Yu Qixia lost and only won the third place.
The winner of that year was Zhu Lingling, and the runner-up was Lu Ruirong.
Although Yu Qixia ranked third, this achievement was also defeated.
Yu Qixia's performance in the arena won the appreciation of wireless executives, and she was quickly recruited into the army.
After Yu Qixia successfully signed a contract with wireless, with her own wisdom and diligence, she quickly became a powerful actor with good character.
A hard-working and self-motivated young actress will naturally win a lot of opportunities to shoot.
In 1977, Yu Qixia started from her debut film "Young People" and laid the cornerstone of her career.
After that, TV dramas and film works blossomed at the same time, and representative works were frequently screened.
Early works include "Tianhong", "Wind and Cloud", "Decisive Battle Xuanwu Gate" and so on.
In 1979, Yu Qixia partnered with Zheng Shaoqiu, and her role as Ling Su'e in "Chu Liuxiang" is still a deep memory of many old film fans.
Yu Qixia's later works have also cooperated with many big stars and directors, including Zhou Runfa, Weng Meiling, Lv Liangwei, Huang Rihua and so on.
She once collaborated with Zhao Yazhi on the Martial Sacred Fire Order.
He also worked with Stephen Chow to play a department manager in director Zhou's early TV series "Dream Edge".
With the popularity of one TV series after another, Yu Qixia's fame is also increasing day by day, and her popularity is getting more and more popular, and within a few years, she has become a dark horse in the film and television circle, attracting many directors to invite her to the big screen.
Wireless executives are naturally ecstatic when they see the unattainable strength of the newcomer, and tilt a large number of good resources to her.
Yu Qixia can be independent, and her dedication to hard work in acting, inseparable, she is a very self-disciplined person, after getting the script, she will carefully ponder the inner world of this character, and integrate herself into the role.
Therefore, the character image she shows will be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and her acting skills will be natural, which is the reason why she can conquer the audience and ensure ratings and box office revenue, so it will be appreciated by major directors.
Yu Qixia's big-screen debut was "White Powder Double Male", but what impressed the audience was the film she starred in in 1981, "Murder List".
This film is still firmly in the top ten positions of Hong Kong horror films.
In this movie, Yu Qixia plays Xiaolan, a wife who is pregnant with a ghost fetus.
This movie integrates three elements of horror, zombies and kung fu, the core of the film is based on the yin and yang fighting method, maoshan Daoist and devil duel as the point of view, and the unbelievable plot has attracted the attention of a large number of audiences.
From the past to the present, 40 years later, the film can still get a 7.1 rating on Douban, which shows that it has been rated as a classic in horror films, which is understandable.
To achieve the success of a film, all the main creators involved in the film shooting are indispensable.
As the main actor, Yu Qixia is even more unforgettable.
Her performance is very substitutionary, relaxed, so that the audience can't help but follow her performance, sink into the plot, with the development and deepening of the plot, so that the audience who like to watch horror movies, get a chilling and happy feeling.
After that, she also filmed many films such as "Knowing the Law and Breaking the Law", "Crazy Eighty-Three", "Horse Hindsight", "Spiritual Illusion Heavenly Master" and so on.
Different roles, she can hold it properly, portray it into three points.
The performance has a spirit, looks good, just no luck.
Although Yu Qixia has a successful career, she has never met a good person in the love scene.
In addition to Yu Qixia's position as a strong sister in the film and television circle, she also performed very eye-catching in variety shows.
Since 1980, the variety show "Happy Tonight" hosted by her has also received quite good ratings.
At that time, it was Paul Zhong who was partnered with her.
Paul Chung, whose real name is Chen Zhenwen, was born in Hong Kong in 1959, because he did not like to eat onions, so people in the industry called him "a green onion", and later this name was rumored to be Paul Chung.
Paul Zhong entered the industry very early, entered the entertainment industry at the age of 19, before becoming a host, he was originally a business DJ, and later because of the fallout with the stage, he turned into an actor.
Although Paul Zhong is not tall, he is very handsome, with a kind of star temperament, plus he is good at communicating with people, so he quickly got the opportunity to shoot with big stars.
Turning to the film and television circle, he soon got the opportunity to make movies with Zhang Guorong and Chen Baiqiang.
The film "Cheers" they shot together, the film is mainly about the struggle history of three young people, although Paul Zhong is playing the third male, but in front of the two popular stars, the performance is not inferior.
With their wonderful performances in this film, the three people won the praise of the audience.
After this, the three people worked together again to shoot the movie "Unemployed Student", and Paul Zhong quickly accumulated popularity in the film and television circle, and was also evaluated by the Hong Kong media as a "popular fried chicken".
However, after making a few films, Paul Chung made a surprising decision.
Paul Zhong signed a contract with Wireless, partnered with Yu Qixia, and became the host of "Happy Tonight".
At that time, this decision puzzled everyone.
It wasn't until Paul Zhong picked up the microphone, witty remarks, sharp and funny show of his host style, everyone suddenly realized, it turned out that his choice was not wrong!
Paul Chung is more suitable as a host than his acting talent.
At that time, the variety show "Happy Tonight", under the combination of Yu Qixia and Paul Zhong, repeatedly achieved good results, and it was a program with very high ratings that year.
But the good times did not last long, and in 1989, at the age of 30, Paul Zhong committed suicide.
There were many opinions about the reason for his suicide, but the closest reason to the truth was that Paul Zhong was in debt because he was addicted to gambling.
And before he died, he did borrow a lot of money from his relatives and friends, and he was talented, because of his lack of self-discipline and bad habits, he died young, which is regrettable.
As a good partner of Paul Zhong, Yu Qixia's fate actually ended with him, Paul Zhong died young, and Yu Qixia was red-faced and short-lived.
Just a year before Paul Zhong's death, In order to complete the shooting task of "Happy Tonight", Yu Qixia went to Australia to shoot locations, and unfortunately suffered a car accident on the way to her destination.
After the car accident, Yu Qixia was hospitalized for nearly a month, although the operation was successful, but because of the sequelae left by the car accident, the brain nerves were damaged, the language expression ability was affected, and she had to practice speaking again like a child.
For a popular host of a variety show, this is undoubtedly a heavy blow, however, this is not the worst, to make matters worse, when Yu Qixia needs the care of relatives and friends the most, Xu Riqin, the boyfriend who has been with her for seven years, abandons her at this time.
It is said that at that time, Yu Qixia, who had a short amnesia, only remembered her boyfriend Xu Riqin.
Losing her health, losing her lover, and losing the ability to make money, none of these failed to defeat the strong Yu Qixia.
After this, Yu Qixia bravely fought against the disease, but the heavens did not seem to pity this strong girl.
In 1990, Yu Qixia was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer, and after several three struggles, she was still unable to return to heaven.
In October 1993, this once popular and powerful actress, who was once the host of the variety industry, died at the age of 36.
Looking back on Yu Qixia's short and splendid life, people will feel the unfairness of fate at the same time, but also experience the brevity of life and the impermanence of the world.
Having health is the guarantee and foundation of everything, otherwise fame and fortune, talent and beauty are all floating clouds.
Paul Zhong's self-indulgence and depravity are in stark contrast to Yu Qixia's high degree of self-discipline, but they are not long-lived people, and the reasons for this are worthy of our serious understanding.
If life is a journey, I hope we can all cherish it, walk the whole way, will not get off the bus halfway, and enjoy more beautiful scenery.
