At 4:08 a.m. today, the famous actor Qin Yi died of illness in Huadong Hospital at the age of 100.
Younger friends may not be familiar with the name.
But as soon as you look at the GIF, you have an impression:
Well, it is this elegant old lady with silver hair who has been active in various film activities in recent years.
She was once known for her beauty and was also known as the Venus of the East.
But she's not just beautiful.
In 1939, at the age of 17, she made her first film, The Good Husband.
In 2019, at the age of 97, she participated in the public welfare film "Everything Like You".
In her centenarian life, there are 80 years that are closely related to movies.
She is a strange woman who has witnessed a hundred years of Chinese cinema.
She is the winner of the 1st China Television Golden Eagle Award for Outstanding Actress, the winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award of the 27th Golden Rooster Awards, and the winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award of the 11th Shanghai International Film Festival.
In 2019, he also won the national honorary title of "People's Artist".
The hardships behind the brilliance are little known.
As soon as the horse was set, she stepped on the bumps, leaving only a quiet back...
Qin Yi was born in Shanghai to a feudal family.
In order to get rid of feudalism, she left home at the age of sixteen and went to study at the Zhonghua Vocational School in Shanghai. During his time at school, he participated in dramas.
In 1938, she went to Wuhan to participate in the anti-Japanese activities, and in the same year worked as an intern actor in a Chinese film studio.
At the age of 17, he made his first film, and two years later he entered the China Drama Art Society to act in drama.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in 1947, she returned to Shanghai to become a special actor, but before that, she never stopped filming. The suspense film "Japanese Spy" was made in 1943.
In 1949, Qin Yi became an actor at the Shanghai Film Studio and the deputy head of the Actors Troupe.
She played a female college student in "Lost Love", played a fiancée in "Farmhouse", played a child bride in "Two Springs", and many people were most impressed by the righteous and brave Fang Lin sister-in-law she played in "Railway Guerrilla".
Sounds like a stereotypical heroine image? No, no, no, Qin Yi played very lively.
With only two eyes, the abstract word "justice" on Fang Lin's sister-in-law was concretized:
When caring for the wounded warrior, her eyes were concerned and gentle.
But at the thought of a shot blowing the enemy's head, his eyes were silently filled with fierceness.
Fang Lin's love and hatred in the face of the national righteousness are clear and clear at a glance.
Also highlighted in detail is the word "brave".
When using her female identity to help the soldiers find out where the Japanese were in the carriage, she noticed that she had a small movement in front of the door that read "Passenger Stop": she stopped for a moment, and then made up her mind to open the door.
What is the meaning of this action?
Knowing that by opening the door, you may face danger head-on, and persist in completing the task even if you are afraid.
Ignorance is fearlessness, and loneliness is courage. Knowing that if you are afraid and dare to go up, you are a real hero.
Instead of lazily choosing a single act of "fearlessness," she employs more human techniques.
This human touch is also reflected in "failure".
Although she accurately threw a grenade at the enemy, she had never been on the battlefield and did not know how to pull the line to detonate.
After the enemy fled, she was so annoyed that she threw the quilt to the ground.
No matter how brave the heroine, there is also a cute side.
The hero portrayed by Qin Yi is gentle but not weak, reflecting the unique resilience of women.
After this role, the role of 34-year-old Qin Yijie gradually changed from a young woman to a middle-aged woman such as a sister-in-law and a mother.
Ma Lan, a female worker in the shovel truck in "Ma Lan Blossom"; the role of Lin Jie in "Women's Basketball No. 5", played from the female student period to the mother period.
At that time, Qin Yi was worried that her figure was not like that of a female student, but she eventually overcame the age span of the role with her acting skills.
When playing a playful schoolgirl, the eyes are simple and direct, and when it comes to middle-aged mothers, the eyes become complex and sad.
She performs the stark difference that the years leave on the same person.
Qin Yi is a good actor, but also a good actor who has witnessed the history of the development of Chinese cinema.
Say a cold knowledge.
Qin Yi's husband, Jin Yan, was known as the First Shadow Emperor of the Republic of China.
He was Ruan Lingyu's classic screen partner, and his ex-wife was Wang Renmei.
These were some of the earliest participants in Chinese cinema.
And Qin Yi's own important work "Women's Basketball No. 5" was filmed by the third generation director Xie Jin.
In 1979's "Overseas Naked Son", she was in the same frame as shi jin and Chen Chong, a new generation of actresses in the 80s.
Playing her daughter in the back is Chen Chong
In 1987, the fifth generation director Jiang Wen acted with her in "Boudoir Love".
In 2012, he participated in the TV series "Heart Technique" and cooperated with Zhang Jiayi and Haiqing.
In 2017, at the age of 95, he played an old palace girl in the fifth generation director Chen Kaige's "The Legend of the Cat Demon"...
Her name on the cast went from black and white to color; from handwriting to delicate fonts.
The years she has experienced in her life, the directors and actors she has cooperated with, the themes of her performances, and the changes in her roles are like the epitome of Chinese films.
Ren Zhonglun, chairman of the Shanghai Filmmakers Association, once lamented when talking about Qin Yi:
She has created many excellent roles in her life, the most successful of which is that she has rigorously shaped her own image -
An artist with both virtue and art.
Now we say that virtue and art are too much, but there are not many people who really deserve this title.
Qin Yi was definitely one of them.
In the beginning, the meaning of the film to Qin Yi was more than ideal.
At the age of 16, that is, the year he just left home, Qin Yi was attracted to the drama actor Chen Tianguo.
Chen Tianguo tricked her into going hiking with a group of friends, only to find him alone when qin yi arrived.
On the mountain, he successfully proposed marriage by forced to death.
Qin Yi wanted to slowly separate after going down the mountain, but he did not expect that he would soon make this marriage news public. Half pushed and half down, Qin Yi married this man who was 10 years older than himself and gave birth to a daughter.
After marriage, Chen Tianguo drank heavily and abused domestic violence. Qin Yi couldn't bear to choose divorce.
Years later, Chen Tianguo committed suicide at the temple.
The daughter grew up in a complicated family and had a very general relationship with Qin Yi in the future.
In 1947, Qin Yi met and lived with Jin Yanhou in the movie "The Sea is Vast". When they got married, Guo Moruo wrote an inscription for them "Silver Altar Wings".
Qin Yi also longs for the happiness of this marriage:
The second marriage I had was voluntary
Although there was the first paragraph
But I don't think that counts
I even have a fresh feel for getting married
Qin Yi was full of hope for a new marriage and was once very happy.
They gave birth to a son, Jin Jie, which added joy to the family.
But Jin Jie developed schizophrenia at the age of 16.
In 1962, Jin Yan was drunk and had stomach bleeding, and a medical accident occurred during surgery, losing his stomach nerve. Since then, he has been weak and has been bedridden for a long time. Qin Yi took care of it for 21 years.
At the most difficult time, Qin Yi not only had to take care of her husband and son, but also the sisters in the family also wanted her to take care of it.
At that time, the actor's salary was not high, and she could only work hard.
After a hard day of returning home, Jin Jie fell ill and beat her. She held her head, clenched her fists in the back, and shouted:
Don't punch Mom in the face
Mom is going to shoot tomorrow
During this period, she herself also underwent many major surgeries, no one to take care of her, and after a strong recovery, she used filmmaking to support the whole family.
Jin Jie can't take care of himself and will be incontinent in bed in the middle of the night.
At an advanced age, she still insisted on taking care of her son, helping him bathe and lay out clean sheets, often at four o'clock in the morning. Desperate, I always feared that I would die suddenly.
But then I thought about it, if even she didn't have it, what would happen to my sick son?
When she saw the sun the next day, she encouraged herself again and washed the sheets.
After that, Jin Jie's condition improved and he also learned to paint. Moved by Qin Yi's maternal love, Schwarzenegger bought Jin Jie's bazaar paintings for $25,000.
Even though her fate is bumpy, she remains optimistic and never gives up on movies.
When her son beat her, she said:
Back punch is not bad, let him fight
I can still go to film after the fight
I think so
Later, the husband died.
She promised her husband that she would never leave her sick son and let him go with peace of mind.
Later, his son also died.
She cried for three days and wanted to open:
The problem of the younger brother (Jin Jie) I will never forget for the rest of my life
I had to cheer myself up
I'm going to be human again
It's buried in this
You just go out and really bury it in the ground
Nothing interesting anymore
Since you are on earth
You should still be a good person
After that, she put her feelings on more children and devoted herself to public welfare.
Later, she did not care and returned to the original intention of the movie.
Qin Yi, who was called "movie maniac" by her husband because of her love of watching movies, continued to water her film career with ideals.
As long as she can see a good movie in a day, it is worth her happiness.
At the age of 95, when she won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Asian International Youth Film Festival, she stood up from her wheelchair and walked on the stage and on the red carpet in high heels.
In the speech, the blood is still surging:
I'm going to try very hard to keep doing it
Although I am 95 years old
But I think I must go to the end
What year and day I live
I'll do it one day
She did.
Thank you Qin Yi.
Thank you for her contribution to the Chinese film industry.
Thank you also for setting an example for the younger generations of the showbiz.
Venus of the East, go well.
