Hu Die is a legendary woman in the Chinese film industry, who has been rated as "movie queen" and "first beauty" by the public. But unfortunately, the times were ill-fated and no one could live alone in the war-torn years, and Hu Die's tragic life began with Dai Li's intervention in her life.
Refused the invitation of the Japanese and was robbed of all his property
Hu Die has a very strong national belief, and has never bowed to the invaders even in the era of war and chaos.
During the Anti-Japanese War in 1941, the despicable Japanese invaders tried to beautify and whitewash their aggressive acts, so they found Hu Die, the "movie queen" who was in the limelight at that time, and asked her to shoot the movie "Hu Die Travels in Tokyo".
Hu Die is an ice and snow smart woman, how can she not see the intentions of the Japanese, this so-called "movie" is to let her be a traitor and whitewash propaganda for the Japanese.
Hu Die pursued film art all her life, but refused without hesitation in this matter.
She made an excuse that she was pregnant and wanted to raise a baby, and she stopped taking the show.
However, the ferocity of the Japanese invaders must not be underestimated, and Hu Die and her husband Pan Yousheng, fearing retaliation from the Japanese, decided to sell their property and leave Hong Kong to take refuge.
Hu Die has lived in a well-off family since she was a child, and her family is well-off.
And he has also earned a lot of money over the years from filming, and after selling all his family property, he has more than thirty boxes of assets, which is all the belongings of the couple.
But there are too many variables in the chaotic times, and the 30 boxes of luggage that Hu Diepan Yousheng and his wife entrusted to transport to Guangdong are simply fat flowing oil and fat at their fingertips in the eyes of lawbreakers.
All the more than 30 boxes of belongings were robbed, and when Hu Die and his wife arrived in Guangdong, they learned that all their savings over the years had disappeared overnight.
The finances they carry with them will not last long, and they will soon be in a difficult situation.
Over the years, Hu Die has also accumulated a lot of contacts, so she found Dai Li with a trust, hoping that he could help find the lost property.
They didn't expect that contacting Dai Li was the beginning of a nightmare in the second half of their lives.
The sanctimonious Dai Li is a jackal, tiger and leopard, who does whatever he wants when he holds power, and fishes the people.
In the end, Hu Die and Pan Yousheng are just ordinary people, and in troubled times and in front of the powerful, they can only be slaughtered by others.
Build a "fairy cave" golden house to hide Jiao, and Dai Li bullies men and women
Dai Li is a shameless womanizer, and he has coveted this hot "movie queen" for a long time, but because the two do not intersect, he is not good at making a tough move.
This time Hu Die herself "sent to the door", which made Dai Lile, who was full of color, blossom.
Of course, Dai Li still put on a very serious and reliable posture when she first met, and assured Hu Die that he would help her recover all her property.
Hu Die and Pan Yousheng thought that Dai Li was a rare good person, and they pinned their hopes on him at the moment.
Dai Li used his power to find Hu Die's lost property, but in this troubled world, even holding heavy power is not omnipotent.
These more than thirty boxes of belongings have long been scattered by thieves, and it is impossible to recover them.
However, at that time, Dai Li asked Hu Die to make a list of the lost property, and Dai Li, who had deep pockets, immediately said: "Buy!" If you can't find it, let me buy it according to the list! Not a single one can be left behind! ”
When Hu Die was told to claim the property, when she opened the box and inspected it, she found that the clothes, jewelry, etc. were brand new, and she immediately understood Dai Li's intention, and her original happy mood was like falling into an ice cave.
No one will help her do this big thing for no reason, especially in the era of war and chaos, especially when the other party is still a lecherous military commander.
Hu Die could only accept these belongings, because she did not dare to refuse Dai Li no matter what, if she refused would be to hit him in the face, the scene would only be more difficult to clean up.
Since then, Dai Li has "logically" broken into Hu Die's life, stirring up her pink happy life.
In the face of Dai Li's repeated approach, Hu Die declined while trying to take care of the right side.
The back and forth consumed the patience of the military leader, until suddenly one day the police came to the door to arrest Pan Yousheng, and Hu Die realized that he was cornered.
She was forced to enter Dai Li's apartment and begged him to release her husband, which meant three years of seclusion.
Dai Li used his power to let Pan Yousheng's foreign bank transfer him to Kunming for a long-term business trip, and he took the opportunity to occupy Hu Die.
His pampering of Hu Die is almost bottomless, and he has spent a lot of money to build several luxury villas, the most famous of which is the "Fairy Cave".
In order not to make Hu Die walk with foot pain, he built a flat road from the foot of the mountain to the door of the house.
The glorious name "protection of security" is actually to impose house arrest, and he built a sentry tower around the villa, and guards stood guard day and night to patrol.
In addition, in that era when civilians were hungry, he used planes to import fruits from abroad by air to Hu Die.
But this kind of "brocade and food" life is tantamount to hell on earth for Hu Die.
She was forced to separate from her husband, Pan Yousheng, separated from her two children and other relatives, and she had to bear the infamy of "commitment to the military command".
In the past three years, if it weren't for her strong willpower, Hu Die would have been unable to survive for a long time.
Dai Li's plane crashed, and the couple was finally reunited
In 1946, Dai Li took a special plane to a meeting, but because of the bad weather, the plane crashed, and Dai Li died on the spot.
The news reached Dai Li's mansion in Shanghai, and Hu Die, who had been under seclusion for three years, finally couldn't suppress her emotions and cried all night.
She is not crying for Dai Li, not for the life she is about to lose.
She wept for the unfair treatment she had received and for the three years she had been imprisoned as a canary in a caged and forcibly separated from her husband.
But all this has disappeared with the Dai Li plane crash, and what awaits her is a new life, and she must pick herself up to face it all.
The next day, with the help of friends, Pan Yousheng and his two children finally met Hu Die in the mansion.
At this time, Hu Die's heart was mixed, she had both thoughts and reluctance for her husband, but also guilt and embarrassment, and it was really difficult to explain clearly in a few words.
Pan Yousheng is also a man who is not good at expression, and in the face of this situation, emotions surged up but could only choke in his throat.
Fortunately, two sensible children timidly stepped forward and opened Hu Die's heart.
Listening to the children calling their mother all the time, saying "Mom, do you want us", every mother can't help but move.
When everyone first entered the room, Hu Die covered her face with a handkerchief, and when she hugged the two children at this time, everyone saw that she had already burst into tears.
The world is difficult, no one is easy, and the people present were sad and cried.
After venting her emotions, Hu Die finally trembled and spoke: "Youshen, don't you blame me?" ”
Pan Yousheng didn't have half a word of reproach, but said softly: "Go home." Let's go home. ”
Hu Die's friend saw that the couple had something to say, so he took the two children and left the room first, giving them the space to communicate their feelings.
It turned out that there was another thorn in the hearts of the couple, that is, in 1945, Hu Die asked Pan to go to the restaurant, filed for divorce from him, and said some extremely hurtful words.
Of course, this is not Hu Die's original intention, but Dai Li's strong persecution.
After living together for two years, Dai Li wanted to marry Hu Die, but the other party was a husband after all, and in order to be justified, she naturally wanted Hu Die to divorce first.
Dai Li could have relied on his own tough skills to force this matter, but he wanted to kill people and let Hu Die go to divorce Pan Yousheng by herself, so that she completely died this heart.
For a jackal like Dai Li, Hu Die, a helpless weak woman, had no possibility of refusing, so she had to do so.
She also feels that she is ashamed of Pan Yousheng, and also wants to blame herself for it, so that Pan Yousheng can be freed from this twisted marriage and find another good partner.
In the restaurant, a divorce agreement was placed in front of him (in fact, it was more like a divorce notice), and Pan Yousheng only felt that the sky was spinning, and his world seemed to be about to collapse.
Hu Die also said a lot of desperate words, on the one hand, to make enough of the play to make Dai Li not suspicious; On the other hand, he wants Pan Yousheng to hate himself and get rid of the shackles of this tragic marriage.
The restaurant is surrounded by Dai Li's eyeliner and minions, and if Hu Die doesn't do this, she and Pan Yousheng will both end up in disaster.
Now, this matter has also become the deepest gap between the husband and wife, even if both parties know that this is acting, but it does not reduce the heartbreak and pain.
"Sound, it's me who is sorry for you, said those words. That's all acting..." Hu Die said intermittently with a crying voice, but was gently interrupted by Pan Yousheng: "You don't need to say it, I believe you, if you don't do this, we and the children will suffer..."
The two hugged each other and cried again, and the ice-like estrangement and disagreement dissolved in an instant.
The movie queen returned to the screen, and Pan Yousheng became ill
After these three years of walking on thin ice, Hu Die, who was already very good at acting, has risen to a higher level, and his grasp of the feelings of interpreting the characters is more delicate and full.
Although she is 38 years old at this time, she is well maintained and still has charm, coupled with her extremely high popularity, there is no need to worry about receiving plays.
But people are fearful, in the past three years between her and Dai Li, it is impossible for the outside world to be unaware, and all kinds of gossip and lace news have gone away.
She remembered Ruan Lingyu, who once competed with her for the title of "movie queen", who chose to die because of continuous rumors and media harassment.
She did not want to follow in Ruan Lingyu's footsteps and decided to return to Hong Kong with her husband Pan Yousheng to develop.
Hu Die, who has reached the peak of her acting level, filmed "Spring Dream" and "A Certain Lady" during this period, which were widely acclaimed; But after that, she chose to take a break and wholeheartedly assist her husband's business.
Although Pan Yousheng remarried Hu Die, he always held his breath in his heart.
He believes that it is because of "no interest" that he and his wife are mermaids, and he cannot let Hu Die suffer with him anymore, and must rely on his own skills to let his wife live a rich life again.
Pan Yousheng was originally a foreign bank employee, but after arriving in Hong Kong, he started his old business and opened his own foreign bank.
In order for the business to flourish, he works hard day and night, takes care of big and small things, and likes to do everything himself.
Heaven forbid, just five years after remarrying, Pan Yousheng fell.
Years of accumulated illness and depression, Pan Yousheng's body collapsed, and when he was detected, he was already in the advanced stage of liver cancer.
With the medical level at that time, Pan Yousheng could only alleviate Pan Yousheng's pain as much as possible, which was really a lack of skills.
Hu Die could no longer control her emotions, she thought that the bitter days were over, and it was time for the two of them to live a happy life, but she did not expect happiness to be so short-lived, as fleeting as a bubble.
In Pan Yousheng's last days, Hu Die always accompanied him, serving with all his heart, wanting him to walk less painfully.
In 1951, Pan Yousheng died.
Hu Die was devastated, no longer active in the public eye for a long time, and even relatives and friends were not seen, and she has always lived in seclusion.
It was not until Pan Yousheng passed away that she knew that her husband had never let go of his knot over the years, and had always remembered the grievances and shame he had suffered in those three years.
He overdrafted his life and had to fight for breath, and it was the combination of high-intensity work and heavy worries that finally brought down this stubborn man.
He was buried with her husband in Vancouver
When Pan Yousheng died, Hu Die was 44 years old, but her heart had long since died with her husband, and living was just a long widowhood.
Everyone persuaded her to remarry, but she didn't listen at all.
She no longer needed any strange man to break into her life with various purposes, she only lived because her husband wanted her to be good and a strong woman in the future before her death.
No longer bothered by mundane things, Hu Die focuses on devoting herself to film and television, which is her highest artistic pursuit.
With bumpy life experience, rich interpretation experience, and full emotional shaping, Hu Die has achieved brilliant achievements in the field of film art.
In 1960, Hu Die starred in "Back Door" that won her the Best Actress Award at the 7th Asian Film Festival.
In 1966, she completed the filming of "The Woman in the Tower" and decided to retire from the film industry, ending more than forty years of film art career.
Under the persuasion of her children, Hu Die moved to Vancouver, Canada, and settled there in her later years.
She also took the ashes of her husband Pan Yousheng to the Cosland Cemetery for burial, and reserved her place next to the new tomb.
In her later years, Hu Die did not have much living arrangements, and she had no nostalgia for the world.
She often walked by the sea, sitting quietly on a bench watching the crowds and seagulls coming and going.
She also often went to her husband's grave to talk to him.
Fate has ravaged her fiercely many times, but she is like a reed, unbent, unbreakable, and tenacious to live.
On April 23, 1989, Hu Die died of a heart attack at the age of 81.
She walked peacefully and died without much pain, perhaps this is a small compensation that God consciously owes her.
After Hu Die died, she was buried with her husband according to her wishes.
The souls of two poor and venerable people rest in peace.
