But what everyone is more interested in is the love story between her and american sailors - met at the age of 12, because of a sentence "I love you", they waited for each other for a lifetime...
In the end, Hui Yinghong's body, and what stories have to be told? Today, Li Gongzi will talk to you about this "legendary movie star".
One
She was born in Hong Kong on 2 February 1960.
His father grew up in a large family in Qingdao, Shandong, and when he was a child, he studied and had special servants to carry him on his back. The mother was the child bride in the old society.
After the founding of New China, my father moved to Hong Kong with his family. At first, they relied on seven or eight boxes of gold bars brought from the mainland, which could be described as a prosperous life. Until 1963, after Hui Yinghong's father became obsessed with gambling, he completely fell into the family.
His father maintained his status as a talent and did not want to go out to make money. Most of the 8 brothers and sisters were sent to the opera team to learn Peking Opera. Hui Yinghong was able to stay with her parents because of her young age.
But she wasn't lucky.
To escape the wind and rain, the family often hid under the stairs of a wealthy family in Causeway Bay. In addition to picking up leftovers from the restaurant to eat, her mother would also take Hui Yinghong to the street to beg.
And this kind of embarrassing day is a whole decade after that.
In 1977, director Zhang Che and the crew went to a nightclub to select actors, and Hui Yinghong happened to be the lead dancer there.
In this way, she was appreciated by Zhang Che and had the honor of starring in the TV series "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter". Thus also signed a contract with Shaw Film Company.
In 1979, Liu Jialiang promoted her again and starred in several martial arts films. With good hands and excellent image, Hui Yinghong's martial arts actress name is getting louder and louder.
In 1982, she won the Best Actress at the 1st Hong Kong Film Awards for her role as "Cheng DaiNan" in the movie "The Elders".
But as soon as she reached the peak of her career, she did something surprising!
Two
Because the image of "beating women" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, Shaw Company once refused Hui Yinghong to make other types of movies. Even let Zhong Chuhong rob her of her role halfway.
In 1988, in order to seek a role change, Hui Yinghong went to Paris at her own expense to shoot a group of nude photos. At that time, the whole of Hong Kong was sensational, and Shaw Film Company was even more dissatisfied.
After her boyfriend Huang Ziyang looked at it, he even said to her directly: "Don't go out to dinner with me in the future!" ”
Apparently, he felt that his girlfriend had lost someone to himself.
But Hui Yinghong does not feel that she took photos for transformation, in order to retain youth, in order to show the beauty of women. How to get into the mouth of the boyfriend, it has become a shameful thing.
So she proposed to break up the next day.
In the late 1970s, independent directors such as Xu Ke and Hui Anhua brought about a "new wave of Hong Kong cinema", and Shaw also went downhill.
Hui Yinghong saw the opportunity and jumped ship to the more promising Jiahe. The script that can be assigned to her is still only a play.
After that, Wang Zuxian, Maggie Cheung and other newcomers turned out to be born, and the Hong Kong showbiz circle also shuffled, and Hui Yinghong changed from a heroine with unlimited scenery to a female partner with no drama to shoot.
She is not willing, and it is even more difficult to accept!
In 1999, after a long period of repression, she suffered from depression.
At its worst, Hui Yinghong had tried to take a life for a hundred years. Fortunately, after 8 hours of rescue, she recovered a life.
"Those who cannot kill us will eventually make us stronger."
In 2005, Hui Yinghong made a low-key comeback.
Regardless of the role, do not care about the coffee position, she is bent on honing her acting skills.
In 2009, relying on her superb acting skills in the literary film "Heart Demon", Hui Yinghong won the Academy Award and the Golden Horse Award in one fell swoop!
In 2017, she won the Best Actress at the 36th Hong Kong Film Awards for her film "Lucky Is Me"; On November 25 of the same year, Hui Yinghong won the 54th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards for "Blood Guanyin".
However, she was enshrined in the fourth degree, but she was always waiting for a person who had no return date!
Three
At the age of 12, in addition to begging, Hui Yinghong also sold chewing gum at the docks in Hong Kong. An Eighteen- or Nineteen-Year-Old American Sailor, not only was she beautiful, but she came to patronize her business every day.
Over time, a wonderful atmosphere has developed between the two of them.
Later, American sailors were going to fight in Vietnam. The night before he left, he asked Hui Yinghong with a stumbling Chinese: I love you Chinese say anything?
Hui Ying blushed and said "I love you."
Afterward, the American sailor gently touched her head and replied, "I love you, too."
In this way, Hui Yinghong waited for a lifetime because of a sentence that did not even count as a promise.
More than 40 years later, she traveled to New York to receive the award. In order to find the sailor, Hui Yinghong also specially held a public welfare activity for veterans. To find information about the sailor.
Unfortunately, Hui Yinghong still found nothing in the end.
In the end, what kind of love can make a person last a lifetime?
Hui Yinghong met each other when she was 12 years old, experienced love, and experienced breakups, but at the age of 40, she still said with confidence:
As soon as the sailor came back to find herself, she would surely cry and kiss him, and then solemnly say 'I love you' once." Finally, there is no hesitation in marrying him!
But Hui Yinghong waited all her life, but she still couldn't wait for the person who made her fight.
Begging at the age of 3, meeting first love at the age of 12, entering the industry as an actor at the age of 17...
She has experienced scenery and loneliness. But Hui Yinghong has never given up, in addition to small love, she is also a patriot with a pattern and understanding of gratitude.
Years have never defeated beauty, but the real beauty should dare to face fate and dare to accept challenges. We look forward to Hui Yinghong, who can have better works and a better tomorrow!
