Liang Yin, one of the most famous actors in Chinese film and television, has been popular from the 1950s to the 1970s, and has starred in famous film and television works such as "Zhao Yiman", "Liu Sanjie", "Visitor on the Iceberg", etc., which have accompanied the growth of a generation.
His performance style is subtle and introverted, simple and natural, without a sense of pretentiousness. The characters he has created are relaxed, sincere and full of emotion, which makes the audience unforgettable.
In life, Liang Yin had two wives in his life, and he and his wife Du Fengxia were entangled in love, and raised two daughters after marriage.
In 2000, Du Fengxia unfortunately died of cerebral hemorrhage, and Liang Yin fell into grief, but in 2003, with the mediation of her daughter, the 77-year-old Liang Yin remarried with film fans in Beijing.
01, the road to fame
In 1926, Liang Yin was born in Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province, the original name of Liang Chengqiu, which means that autumn has arrived, it is time to harvest, and later learned music, it was renamed Liang Yin.
When he was young, he was very fond of the northeast drums and duo zhuan that exuded a strong local atmosphere, and he was often fascinated by them.
However, in that era of war and poverty, it was impossible for children of poor families to learn art.
Under the pressure of life, 16-year-old Liang Yin went to the Qiqihar Railway inspection section as an apprentice, and took up the burden of life early.
With the liberation of Qiqihar in 1946, Liang Yin's love for literature and art in his heart also sprouted again. In his spare time, he used bamboo poles and brass pipes to make instruments such as horizontal flutes and flutes to blow and sing with his co-workers, and his heart was very happy.
Just at this time, heaven gave Liang Yin a perfect opportunity, and the Qiqihar Railway Bureau established a railway troupe to select actors from among the workers.
The young Liang Yin was tall, handsome and fond of literature and art, and unsurprisingly, he was chosen.
In the troupe, he participated in the performance of the chorus and some small programs, and soon after, the Northeast Literary and Labor Troupe went to Qiqihar to perform the opera "White Haired Girl" and the opera "Brothers and Sisters Opening the Wilderness".
Looking at the literary and artistic warriors performing on the stage, Liang Yin was very envious in his heart, so he secretly hid his elderly mother and signed up for the Northeast Literary and Labor Troupe.
At that time, during the Liberation War, Liang Yin moved to the battlefield with the Northeast Cultural and Labor Troupe, performing for commanders and soldiers and boosting morale for everyone.
In December 1948, Liang Yin was transferred to the Northeast Film Studio (the predecessor of Changying) with a group of Northeast Literary Workers, became a film actor, and began his career as a film actor.
In the first feature film "Bridge" filmed in New China, he played a worker, which was the first image he created on the screen.
Everything was difficult at the beginning, but with the first acting experience, the next film road slowly began to smooth.
Because Liang Yin's face is thin and long, his facial features are clear, and his personal temperament is pure and simple, so in the early stage of filming, he played the image of many workers and peasants, and he quickly became successful on the screen.
Successively, he created different images of workers and peasants in "Zhao Yiman", "Plain Guerrilla", and "Eagle in the Storm".
In the continuous performance practice, Liang Yin constantly polished his acting skills and humbly learned from others.
He gradually understood: as an actor, the most basic one is to play people, not act. If you want to play this person well, you have to be familiar with this person, and you have to become this person yourself.
In the continuous acting, Liang Yin mixed a familiar face in the hearts of the audience, and what really made him famous should be the role of Cao Maolin, the second male in the 1959 National Day tribute drama "Young People in Our Village".
At that time, in order to present the tenth anniversary of the National Day, the major film studios in the mainland produced a large number of excellent film works, including "The Young People in Our Village".
At that time, the production team of "Young People in Our Village" felt that Liang Yin met the requirements of Cao Maolin's role in terms of appearance and temperament.
Therefore, someone in the film crew quipped: "Liang Yin plays this role, and it is like without makeup." ”
But Liang Yin believes that appearance and temperament are just things that exist objectively as an actor, and to act like Cao Maolin, only by turning himself into Cao Maolin from the inside out.
In order to achieve this goal, Liang Yinzai carefully studied the script, speculated and analyzed the psychological activities of each character in the play, and wanted to grasp the thoughts and feelings of the characters from the inner world of the characters, and grasp their personality characteristics.
In order to represent the character more naturally, he also went to the countryside of Fenyang County, Shanxi Province, to experience life, where he made many young peasant friends.
In the days of living together, he found that these rural youths were sincere and enthusiastic, pure and kind, loyal and frank, serious and reserved for love, and full of yearning for a better life.
This is exactly the quality and mental outlook of Cao Maolin, who he plays, and in this way, while understanding the role, he strives to make himself close to the role and integrate into the role.
During the filming of the movie "Young People in Our Village", because of a lot of thinking and preparation in the early stage, Liang Yin acted very naturally, which made the film receive a lot of praise as soon as it was released.
Liang Yin vividly reflects the joys and sorrows of the characters, and the characters portrayed are still vividly left in the audience's memory.
Although Liang Yin plays the second male in this movie, the role of Cao Maolin has its own sense of intimacy, more like the rural youth that is commonplace around everyone, and Liang Yin has become popular.
Among the many screen images he has created, the one that the audience likes the most should be the witty and calm Yang Platoon Leader in "The Visitor on the Iceberg", but in that year, Liang Yin almost lost touch with this role.
At that time, two characters found Liang Yin at the same time, one was Yang Platoon Commander in "The Visitor on the Iceberg", and the other was Sun Xiwang in "Li Shuangshuang".
These two roles are very attractive, especially the role of Sun Xiwang, who is a peasant image that Liang Yin is familiar with, and will partner with the famous movie star Zhang Ruifang, as long as Liang Yin plays, the probability of success will be much greater.
However, after repeated deliberation, he still chose to take over the role of Yang Platoon Leader, the only reason is that he wants to break through his acting skills and accept this challenge.
With such courage to break through himself, Liang Yin's role as Yang Platoon Leader in "The Visitor on the Iceberg" also achieved success.
In the scene of the movie, the Yang platoon commander played by Liang Yin is played by Liang Yin in the face of the pain of the heroic sacrifice of his comrades-in-arms and the calmness in the face of complex enemy situations.
And when his warrior Amir finally recognized his lover, his words: "Amir, rush!" It also shows Yang Pai's heroic and straightforward appearance to the fullest, so that this line quickly becomes a widely circulated classic.
Language should be exquisite and accurate, with tension, which is the law of film language art.
Liang Yin said that at present, some films have rough language, are not in place, and do not quench their thirst; in the final analysis, it is a matter of artistic level, which has greatly weakened the artistic energy of film, which should be paid attention to.
In 1963, Liang Yin won the Outstanding Actor Award of the Long Shadow Little Hundred Flowers Award for his film "Visitor on the Iceberg".
Liang Yin has a sincere heart for artistic work and film career, and in addition to being willing to study performance, he is also particularly able to endure hardships.
During the filming of "Sea Condor", Liang Yin played "Liu Lianchang" to pass through several barbed wire fences in the sea water, and then cut the barbed wire.
When the play was filmed in winter, Liang Yin soaked in the cold and bone-chilling seawater for several hours, freezing so cold that he couldn't even speak, but Liang Yin felt that this was what he should do as an actor.
During the filming of the scene "Liu Lianchang was injured", there was a problem with the props. The special warhead did not explode as soon as the gun chamber came out as expected, but it really shot directly at Liang Yin's body and hit him on the arm before exploding.
As a result, Liang Yin's arm was injured and stitched more than ten stitches, but this accidental injury did not dampen Liang Yin's enthusiasm for movies.
In the long-term performance practice, Liang Yin has gradually formed the characteristics of subtle and introverted, simple and natural performance, and has the qualities and skills that an excellent film actor should have.
No matter how complex the character's emotions are, he can accurately reveal the character's feelings and perform them in one go.
His acting has a strong rhythm and can achieve tension and closeness according to the emotional changes and personality characteristics of the characters.
Liang Yin in life is very similar to the role he plays, simple and humorous, and reveals cleverness in humility.
He knows that his education level is not high, so in his spare time filming, he read many Chinese and foreign literary works, hoping to get influence from them and make his performance more and more pure.
In this way, people whose hearts are full of movies have also married two wives because of movies.
02, Sauvignon Blanc
In 1950, the famous director Yan Gong of the Northeast Film Studio filmed the movie "Wei Guo Bao Jia", Liang Yin was selected as the male protagonist, and it was also in this film that he and his wife Du Fengxia had an affair because of the drama and became connected.
Du Fengxia (fourth from the left)
Du Fengxia was born in 1929 in Anshan, Liaoning Province, to an ordinary worker family, and was admitted to the Northeast Film Studio at the age of 19, and has starred in the movies "Chinese Daughter", "White Haired Girl", "Marriage" and "A Proposal".
After marriage, Liang Yin and Du Fengxia gave birth to two daughters, and in the first few years of their marriage, it was the rising period of Liang Yin and Du Fengxia's careers, and the couple often gathered less and left more.
But this did not destroy the feelings of the two, but made the two cherish the time together more and manage the marriage more carefully.
At that time, Liang Yin and his wife did not have a film remuneration for filming, and the couple lived on meager subsidies, although the days were not rich and expensive, but the husband and wife managed with their hearts.
In their married life, Liang Yin and Du Fengxia forstood each other, encountered difficulties in life and work, and the two never complained at home, nor did they send nameless fire to each other.
In Liang Yin's view, two people living a life will inevitably produce more contradictions, and a happy marriage is the result of tolerance and tolerance between husband and wife.
Liang Yin and Du Fengxia have stayed with each other in this way, and have walked through the ups and downs of half a century without abandoning.
It is said that behind a successful man there is a woman who silently supports him, and this sentence has become a true portrayal of Liang Yin's marriage with Du Fengxia.
Du Fengxia is well aware of the hardships of her husband's filming, so after her daughters went to primary school, Du Fengxia gradually faded out of the big screen and began to work as a voice actor behind the scenes.
In this way, she has more time to take care of her family, and she can better let Liang Yin focus on filming.
In 1997, Liang Yin suddenly fainted on the set while filming the movie "Crane Boy", and colleagues rushed him to the hospital.
After a series of examinations, it was found that Liang Yin's lung had developed a benign tumor, only two millimeters away from the pulmonary artery, and it was necessary to undergo surgery as soon as possible.
The news of her husband's illness seemed to Du Fengxia to be a thunderbolt on a sunny day, but fortunately, the operation went smoothly, and under her meticulous care, Liang Yin's body recovered after half a year.
However, life did not go on step by step according to the predetermined vision, and in December 2000, Du Fengxia fainted at home with a sudden cerebral hemorrhage, and died before she could be taken to the hospital.
The death of his wife gave Liang Yin a great blow, for a long time, Liang Yin fell into great pain, no matter how much the two daughters persuaded, he could not let go, and has been thinking of his wife.
At this time, Liang Yin could not imagine that after this, another intimate person entered his world.
03, long shou
In the early 1960s, with the release of "Visitors on the Iceberg" and "Young People in Our Village", there were people singing "Why Are Flowers So Red" and "People Say Shanxi Is a Good Scenery" everywhere in the streets and alleys, and Liang Yin was also loved by the audience.
In Sanlitun, Beijing, a 15-year-old girl named Yu Hu, after watching the movies, deeply liked the protagonist Liang Yin in these two movies, and at the age when her love dou first opened, she longed to marry a man like Liang Yin when she grew up.
Yu Hu loved literature and art since childhood, and once dreamed of entering the Beijing Opera School and becoming a Peking Opera actor in the future, but in the turbulent years of the times, the national college entrance examination system was abolished.
In 1967, after graduating from 19-year-old Yuhu High School, he accepted the arrangement to become a kindergarten teacher in the kindergarten of Beijing No. 6 Standard Parts Factory.
At this time, the young and beautiful Yu Hu has slowly reached the marriageable age, colleagues and relatives and friends have introduced her boyfriends, but the girlish feelings are always spring, and in her heart, she has not been able to put Down Liang Yin.
Among the many blind dates, she took Liang Yin as a standard, so she didn't negotiate several of them.
In 1985, when Yu Hu was 37 years old, she did not have any expectations for marriage and decided not to marry for life, but the love of idols became a habit.
At that time, Yu Hu's greatest wish was to meet Liang Yin, so she suddenly wanted to dial the changchun film studio's phone to find Liang Yin.
Perhaps because of fate, the studio generally harassed such a telephone right, but it told Yu Hu that day.
In 1987, Yu Hu plucked up enough courage to dial the phone of Liang Yin's family, but at this time Liang Yin went out to shoot a play, and the phone was answered by Du Fengxia, who asked Yu Hu to call again in a few days.
A few days later, Yu Hu called Liang Yin's house again, this time, Yu Hu finally talked to the idol on the phone, happy to say, listening to Liang Yin's kind and low voice, Yu Hu was so excited that he was about to burst into tears.
Since then, Yu Hu often calls Liang Yin's home as a fan, and on the phone, the two chat about movies and become friends in slow familiarity.
Moreover, in the phone calls between the two families, Yu Hu and Du Fengxia's relationship has also become very good, and the two people talk about everything on the phone like old girlfriends.
In the summer of 1988, Liang Yin and Du Fengxia's daughter Liang Ling came to Beijing to purchase props for filming for the long film factory, and there was no place to stay.
After Yu Hu knew, he let Liang Ling live in his home, and purchased props with her, and then packed them from the post office and sent them back to the Long Shadow Factory.
This incident deepened the feelings of Yu Hu and Liang Yin's family, and in August of the same year, Liang Yin came to Beijing to shoot a drama, and Yu Hu finally met the idol who had been in love for many years.
But the good times did not last long, after Du Fengxia's death in 2000, Liang Yin fell into the pain of his wife's death, and since then he has not contacted Yu Hu alone, and Yu Hu is not convenient to disturb Liang Yin.
In 2003, Yu Hu saw on television the reunion of the stars of "Visitors on the Iceberg" organized by the movie channel.
At the event, Ayishamu, the actor who played "Guran Danmu", asked Liang Yin: "Teacher Liang, I heard that your wife has passed away?" Liang Yin suddenly had tears in his eyes and his face was full of sadness.
This scene deeply stung Yu Hu's heart, and thinking of the elderly Liang Yin living alone at this time, she had the idea of taking care of Liang Yin.
Coupled with years of admiration for Liang Yin, she decided to show her heart, and Yu Hu, who had figured it out, called Liang Yin's eldest daughter Liang Ling, saying that she wanted to take care of Liang Yin's second half of life.
Liang Ling was very happy with Yu Hu's decision and hoped that someone could take care of the rest of her father's life, so she said that she could match.
However, when Liang Ling and her father mentioned the matter, Liang Yin had some concerns and said that she was not prepared to remarry. After knowing her father's attitude, Liang Ling informed Yu Hu on the phone, hoping that Yu Hu could personally communicate with her father.
On the phone, Yu Hu made clear his mind and said that he liked Liang Yin's simplicity since he was a child, rather than trying to seek other fame.
Liang Yin listened to this confession, and after thinking about it again and again, he still politely refused, but since then, the two still have telephone contact.
In August 2003, Liang Yin went to Beijing to shoot the TV short drama "The Teacher's Story", accompanied by her eldest daughter Liang Ling. Liang Ling has the heart to let her father remarry, let Yu Hu take care of the old father's diet and living, and the two also have something to rely on.
So under her mediation, Liang Yin and Yu Hu met again in Beijing, and it was this meeting that the two established a romantic relationship.
So in December 2003, Liang Yin and Yu Hu got married, and after the marriage, Liang Yin followed Yu Hu to Beijing to live, and Yu Hu took good care of Liang Yin's life.
Perhaps infected by Yu Hu, after remarrying Yu Hu, Liang Yin's mental state is getting better and better, her mentality is younger than before, and she has a smile on her face all day.
Liang Yin's two daughters were very happy to see that the old father was taken care of by Yu Hu in his old age, and their hearts were full of relief.
Every story has an end, and so does people, and on January 26, 2015, Liang Yin died of heart failure in Beijing at the age of 89.
In the last days of his life, Yu Hu accompanied him and talked, and walked very peacefully.
In the 12 years that Liang Yin and Yu Hu have been together, countless people have witnessed their happiness, and for the two, the best time together has been immersed in the heart as early as a porridge and a meal, and they have become each other.
