On May 27, 1990, in Changchun City, two women of similar age were hugging and crying together, and they had not seen each other for 36 years.
"Knowing the past in other places" is one of the four great joys of life, and it is also the best wish of the ancients.
In a distant place, if you can see your acquaintances, the strong feeling of longing will instantly transform into the joy of seeing relatives and friends.
And Lin Qingxia, as we know her, was separated from her own sister for 36 years before they finally met, what happened to their sisters?
Across the sea
The story also begins with Lin Qingxia's father's generation.
Lin Qingxia's father, Lin Weiliang, whose ancestral home was Laiyang, Shandong, was a Kuomintang military doctor.
At the end of the Liberation War, the Kuomintang army was gradually defeated and retreated on the battlefield, and for every Kuomintang officer and soldier, finding a good way back was the most important thing.
At that time, Lin Weiliang's family was very happy, and he took the name Lin Li.
But at that time, Lin Weiliang had already decided to move to Taiwan, looking at his infant daughter, considering that the baby simply could not bear the hardships of a long journey.
In desperation, he chose to give his daughter to his brother Lin Weiyun to raise, and since then the father and daughter have looked at each other across the sea.
Initially, Lin Weiliang planned to wait until the situation was stable before taking his daughter to reunite.
However, because the Kuomintang government blocked the communication channels between the mainland and Taiwan at that time, it was difficult to send even a letter, let alone pick up people.
The obstacles did not dispel Lin Weiliang's thoughts, and he made countless efforts to one day reunite with his daughter.
Lin Weiliang fantasized about the arrival of this day every day, but he did not expect that this idea was decades.
In this case, Lin Qingxia's brothers and sisters were born.
The parents seem to want to make up for their missing love for Lin Li and make up for these three children. Therefore, for the education of their children, the couple attaches great importance to it.
Especially Lin Qingxia, when she was young, her amazing appearance has already revealed the beginning, although it is said that the female eldest eighteen changes, but Lin Qingxia is getting better and better.
In order not to let Lin Qingxia be complacent because of her appearance, and eventually become an empty vase figure, her mother is very strict with her.
She hopes to raise her daughter into a talented and talented person.
Facts have proved that Lin Mu's hard work has not been in vain, and Lin Qingxia's bookishness, heroism and chivalry displayed on the screen from the inside out are inseparable from the education she received when she was a child.
The only flaw in Lin Mu's education is that there are some "over"
Everything is too late, Lin Mu's excessive depreciation of Lin Qingxia's appearance, causing Lin Qingxia to think that she is not good at all, which has led to a very serious inferiority complex.
Not only does she unconsciously avoid looking at outsiders, but her posture when walking is not good.
As she grew older, Lin Qingxia's posture became more and more beautiful, like a hibiscus breaking out of the water, surprising everyone.
At this time, more and more people pursued Lin Qingxia, and she found that her appearance was not as bad as her mother said.
So how did Lin Qingxia, who found herself charming, get on the road of acting?
Star Road Exploration
Although Lin Qingxia's parents put a lot of effort into her studies, the results were not satisfactory.
At the age of seventeen, Lin Qingxia failed to pass the university examination, and had no choice but to repeat her studies.
On the way to the cram school with friends, her delicate face and unworldly temperament like a flower were immediately targeted by the star scouts.
At the recommendation of the scout, she was introduced to Song Cunshou, the director who was preparing to shoot "Outside the Window" at the time.
Lin Qingxia, who got the opportunity to star, soared like a kunsheng with wings and began her acting career.
But unfortunately, the show did not meet the audience. The fledgling encountered setbacks, which was a big blow to Lin Qingxia.
But she didn't give up and still tried to find other opportunities.
In 1974, Lin Qingxia starred in "Cloud Fluttering" and finally showed her face in front of the audience.
However, although Lin Qingxia was good-looking, her style did not match the popular Qiong Yao script at that time.
Therefore, although she has some fame and laid the foundation of the audience, if she wants to develop for a long time, Qiong Yao drama is definitely not the best choice for her to become a real superstar.
In 1979, when Lin Qingxia had just come out of her emotional trauma, the popular trend of the film also changed dramatically.
Literary and art films are no longer the audience's favorite, and Lin Qingxia, who accurately grasps the trend of the times and the audience's ideas, resolutely and resolutely devotes herself to the Hong Kong entertainment circle and transforms in the tempering.
At that time, the Competition in the Hong Kong entertainment industry was very fierce, and people around her were not optimistic about Lin Qingxia's decision, believing that her approach was no different from starting over.
But Lin Qingxia tried to defy the public opinion, and in 1985, she proved herself with a "police story", and a generation of legendary film queens was born.
In the following year's "Dao Ma Dan", Lin Qingxia, who appeared on the screen in the shape of men's clothing, surprised everyone.
The face is heroic with the femininity of a woman, but the action is full of men's coolness, and this shape has also become a classic.
"Dao Ma Dan" was a great success, but Lin Qingxia did not choose to hit the iron while it was hot like others, and then used several films of the same type to attract fan traffic; Instead, it is to settle down and seriously improve.
This practice has broadened her play path a lot, and there are many more scripts that can participate.
With her efforts, in the Golden Horse Awards of the 90s, she won the Golden Horse Award for Actress of her dreams.
But if she arrives here satisfied and starts enjoying life, then she won't be a legend.
At that time, martial arts films had developed from competing with literary and art films to becoming the mainstay of the film and television market.
In the face of this change, Lin Qingxia made a bold attempt: participating in martial arts films.
After she participated in martial arts films, people were surprised to find that Lin Qingxia's acting skills, appearance and temperament seemed to be born for martial arts films.
Drinking in the red-clad lake in 1992 has become a shadow in the hearts of many people.
Lin Qingxia's acting path is getting smoother and smoother, so what is her sister doing before she and her sister recognize each other?
Sisters recognize each other
After the Lin family stabilized in Taiwan, they did not encounter major difficulties in life, but there has always been a thorn in the hearts of the Lin couple, that is, the eldest daughter Lin Li.
In order to inquire about Lin Li's news, Lin Weiliang sent countless letters to his brother Lin Weiyun, but these letters were all sunk in the sea and there was no news.
Since Lin Li was born, she has not seen her biological parents and siblings.
At that time, the overall income level in China was not high, and the life of her uncle's family was also very poor, and under such living conditions, Lin Li developed the quality of hard-working and hard-working from an early age.
In the early 1960s, Lin Li moved with her uncle and family to the Jidong Coal Mine in Heilongjiang.
At the age of 21, she began her career as a young intellectual, which was a very hard time, but she still survived.
Two years later, she learned that she was young, returned to the city to become a substitute teacher, and Lin Li, whose job was stable, also began to consider her marriage.
In the early 70s, Lin Li met Qian Shenyong through the introduction of her future husband's sister.
This is a young man from Jidong County, graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, and after graduation, he was assigned to work in the Xuchang Opera Troupe in Henan.
The two soon fell in love after they met, but then Qian Shenyong suddenly changed and was sent to the countryside.
At this time, the family knew about this matter and did not approve of Lin Li and Qian Shenyong continuing to communicate.
But Lin Li did not give up this love and has been doing the family's ideological work.
Not only that, after communicating with Qian Shenyong for half a year, Lin Li came to Xuchang alone and simply held a wedding with Qian Shenyong in the thatched shed.
But on a good day, everything went smoothly, after Lin Li and Qian Shenyong got married, they did not wear away the brand of love by the trivialities of life, and they were very loving.
Later, both were transferred to Xuchang, Qian Shenyong became a worker in the Xuchang Internal Combustion Engine Parts Factory, and Lin Li became a kindergarten teacher.
After marriage, the two have three sons, although the life is not rich, but the family is happy and harmonious, and the life is plain but warm.
In 1982, Lin Qingxia knew her parents' knots, and had been listening to her sister's news when filming, but still did not gain.
Not only Lin Qingxia is working hard, but Lin Lixia, the youngest girl of the Lin family, has also contributed a force.
During his work and life in San Francisco, he once sent his parents a copy of the Ming Pao weekly magazine, which had an article titled "Visiting Lin Qingxia's Sister deep into Henan."
Lin Lixia hopes that in this way, she can find her eldest sister whose blood is thicker than water.
The process of searching for relatives is painful and long, and often many people will not see each other for a lifetime after losing contact with their relatives, but it has to be said that the Lin family is lucky.
In 1983, Lin Weiyun knew that they were looking for Lin Li, so he sent a letter to Lin Li.
Until then, Lin Li had always thought that his uncle and aunt were his biological parents until he received the letter from his uncle.
The uncle said that the couple was not her biological parents, and Lin Li's biological parents were abroad, and there was only recent news.
Lin Li, who received this letter, could not relax for a long time, and felt that she was living in a dream.
That big star named Lin Qingxia was actually my sister? My parents who have raised me for decades are my uncles and aunts?
Such a fact brought Lin Li a great impact on her thinking.
Until 1984, Lin Weiliang finally contacted his daughter after many hardships.
This exchange made the stone in the hearts of Lin Weiliang and his wife fall to the ground, and also opened Lin Li's heart knot, and finally let Lin Li completely accept the reality and no longer be confused and escape.
In the winter of 1987, Mr. and Mrs. Lin Weiliang, carrying a dowry that had been late for many years, met their daughter at the airport, whom they had never seen since they were born.
Full of longing, there is no expression, only weeping and comforting.
This crying lasted for nearly two hours, and the feeling that blood was thicker than water made Lin Li's only resentment disappear with the wind and smoke of the airport at the moment when she first met her parents.
After recognizing her parents, Lin Li's interaction with her sister Lin Qingxia gradually became closer.
In 1990, Lin Qingxia went to Changchun to shoot "Rolling Red Dust", and also made a special appointment to meet her sister who had never met before.
That week was Lin Li's happiest week, and getting along with Lin Qingxia completely completed the last regret in Lin Li's heart.
Two little sisters who have not been seen for a long time, just like ordinary people's homes, eat and shop between movies.
This meeting not only allowed Lin Li to harvest family affection, but also made Lin Qingxia, who is usually busy with work, feel the warmth of home in a different place.
After this meeting, Lin Qingxia will still visit her from time to time and ask her if she needs help.
But Lin Li never asked this big star sister for anything.
She knew that as long as she opened her mouth, whether it was her parents who felt indebted to her, or Lin Qingxia, who had a deep sisterly feeling, she would help her without reservation, not to mention that they also had this ability.
But Lin Li didn't want anything, just retained the emotional communication, and didn't want this precious late affection to become materialized.
"People must learn to be content," this is lin li's experience summed up from the hard years of that year, and now she is much better than before, so she cherishes her current life very much.
Lin Li, who did not speak to her relatives, lived her own peaceful retirement life.
Although the salary is not much and the objects are very old, these are earned by her and her husband's hands. The days are not good or bad, but they are stable.
The rich and the noble may really not be what Lin Li hopes, she only wants her little family to be safe and happy. Her wish has come true.
If Lin Li is not willing to be ordinary, uses indebtedness as an excuse, uses morality as a kidnapper, and reaches out to Lin Weiliang and his wife and even Lin Qingxia for money, is it okay? OK.
But once or twice is fine, three times or four times, too many times will definitely annoy people.
But as long as people open this mouth, there will be endless greed, and the final outcome will inevitably be what everyone does not want to see.
Lin Li is wise, from frugality to luxury, from luxury to frugality.
As long as she wants the first time, then whether it is the happiness of the past or the family affection of the long-term reunion, in the end she can't keep anything.
epilogue
The ending of this story is beautiful. It does not become a strange road like other stories, such as the reunion after a long absence, or even a court of law.
Family affection is always the most worthy of our cherishing, and giving up family affection for the sake of profit is the stupidest thing in the world.
People are social animals, and no one can really live as an island.
Even the toughest business elite in the outside world will still miss the bowl of soup that our mother made with her heart, and home will always be our last harbor.
Have we ever ignored our father's silver hair because of our work, and ignored our mother's slowly blurred vision?
The "head chef of the family", who used to be able to make a big feast for us, now sometimes can't even grasp how much salt to put in.
Lin Li is happy, and in her life, she can still be reunited with her relatives for a long time.
And now that we are on the run, how long have we not been "reunited" with our parents for a long time?
Life may always be made up of many regrets, but if we wake up in time, we can make regrets less and less.
Don't let yourself become the protagonist of regretful memories because you are busy, go home and see more, why not enjoy it?
