In the entertainment industry, there are many stars with tear moles. Some are natural tear moles, and some are artificial tear moles for human needs.
But Li Jianqun's "moles at the corners of the mouth" are more difficult to forget than these actresses with tear moles.
With a delicate face, combined with exquisite ancient costumes, she became the "most beautiful concubine Wuhui" in "Tang Minghuang". A glance and a smile are all beautiful.
But for Li Jianqun's friends, she is a "strange actress". Obviously he loves Chen Jialin very much, but he has lived with each other for 27 years and has not married until his death.
It was only when she was on the verge of death that she said a confusing sentence: "If there is an afterlife, it is better for us to get married and have children."
The two have been in love for so long and have never considered the topic of getting married and having children, why is her last words regretting not getting married and having children? What kind of unique life has the "most beautiful concubine" Li Jianqun experienced?
01. From designer to actor
In 1957, a beautiful and intelligent girl was born in a remote town in Wuhan.
The parents named their daughter Li Jianqun, which means that she grew up healthy and lively like a boy. Five or six-year-old Li Jianqun has a mole at the corner of her mouth, which is very small but makes her a little charming.
The mother saw that her daughter looked so beautiful, and if she learned an art in the future, she might be able to become an artist.
After thinking about it, her mother sent her to dance school. Sure enough, in terms of art, the daughter has a high talent.
After only one year at school, she was able to do a lot of difficult movements and was recognized by the teacher as "extremely talented". If nothing else, she will always learn to dance and become a good dancer.
However, once when she was learning difficult movements, she accidentally fell from mid-air to the ground, and suddenly a lot of blood flowed from her knees.
The teacher screamed in fright and immediately carried her to the hospital to correct her. After the doctor's diagnosis, he told Li Jianqun not to learn dance in the future.
Her knee was torn so badly that she could be injured twice if she was forced, and if not treated properly, she would cause hemiplegis. In order to save his legs, Li Jianqun gave up dancing with tears.
She was depressed at home for a while, and her mother saw that her daughter was so decadent, so she hired an art teacher for her.
Li Jianqun didn't like art at first, and the teacher used one painting after another to make her open her heart and calmly accept her past failures. After switching to fine arts, her luck was even better.
In his third year of high school, he was admitted to the upper drama and became a student of oil painting master Chen Yifei. When Li Jianqun graduated, he had two choices. Either stay at school as a teacher, or go to work as a soldier in the literary corps.
After thinking twice, she decided to go to the Lanzhou Military Region to become a soldier. However, she did not give up her oil painting career.
Every year, she will participate in oil painting competitions, and has successfully won many awards.
A few years passed, Li Jianqun left the army and went outside to find a job in clothing design. Using her art skills to paint exquisite clothing, she likes this job.
Sometimes fate is not man-controlled, and there may be a fork in the road at some point.
In 1986, Li Jianqun was invited by the director to work as a costume designer in "Vigilance, Young Friend". Most of the women's clothing she designs is tried on once.
There is no problem with the design, and it will be worn for the actress.
When the filming began, the female number two could not go to the scene to shoot because of something. The director was very angry and directly replaced the female number two, and happened to see Li Jianqun wearing the female number two clothes.
When he saw it, this girl looked so charming, and her appearance was better than that of the female number one.
He found Li Jianqun and discussed that she would be the female number two in the movie and would give her additional salary. Li Jianqun asked, will filming affect the progress of his own design clothes?
In this way, she went from a behind-the-scenes person to the screen. She has not studied acting, but she has a high talent for acting. The director taught her once, and she was able to do the same thing.
The harshest thing is that the director will make her cry when she says a certain word.
As soon as Li Jianqun's eyes were closed, he could shed tears after brewing. After seeing her acting skills, the director couldn't help but praise that she was better than professional actors.
A drama became popular, and Li Jianqun also received a lot of drama contracts. In this way, she went from a costume designer to an actress.
02. Living with the director for 27 years has no reputation
His career was booming, but Li Jianqun's marriage ushered in a blow. She and a young painter were married after graduation, and both of them love painting and usually have a lot to talk about.
But life after marriage is not as sweet as she imagined.
The painter liked freedom, and he was reluctant to accompany her every day. Li Jianqun is a very insecure person, and if her husband does not come home for several days, her mood will be very low.
They have different living habits, resulting in frequent conflicts after living together. The quarrels again and again made Li Jianqun very tired.
Later, after she became an actress, her husband repeatedly resented her for hooking up with other male stars in the crew. Li Jianqun couldn't stand her husband's vexatious teasing, and the two finally broke up.
After the divorce, Li Jianqun's career blossomed in an all-round way. She has not given up her dream of being a costume designer, and has been filming hard.
There was a play where she was the heroine in it while designing costumes and props for the entire crew. The director saw her busy day and night, and he was a little unbearable and wanted to hire an assistant for her.
Li Jianqun said that he liked such a fulfilling life and did not need help from others.
In fact, she punished herself with non-stop work day and night because of her emotional failure. She knows that only by devoting all her attention to her career can she temporarily forget the pain.
In 1990, Chen Jialin filmed "Tang Minghuang", and he invited Li Jianqun as a costume designer.
The meeting of the two brought Li Jianqun a new life and made her a lot of criticism. Chen Jialin had already married a wife before meeting Li Jianqun.
His wife was a rural girl, and his parents matched him to marry him home. The two had no topic to talk about, and soon after getting married, he went out alone to work hard.
Living in a different place, the relationship is very light, and the wife does not make a fuss, and takes care of her in-laws very well, so that she does not let him worry about the family. With such a gentle and virtuous wife at home, Chen Jialin should be happy.
But in fact, he does not like the other party, thinking that the cognitive gap between the other party and himself is too far away and will not last long.
In "Tang Ming Huang", Li Jianqun also played the role of "Concubine Wu Hui". Li Jianqun's acting skills are very superb, which makes people instantly have a sense of substitution.
In addition to Li Jianqun and Chen Jialin cooperating, the relationship also quietly sprouted, and Chen Jialin liked her very much.
One has just been married, the other has just been divorced, and it is inappropriate for the two to come together. But Chen Jialin still fiercely pursued Li Jianqun and wanted to marry her.
The two have collaborated on many works and are already boyfriend and girlfriend outside the play. But by chance, Li Jianqun knew that Chen Jialin also had a wife, and he was mad with anger.
She told Chen Jialin that when there is no best of both worlds in life, if he wants to be with her, he will go back to divorce.
Without saying a word, Chen Jialin took Li Jianqun back to his hometown and forced his wife to divorce him. His story soon spread throughout the circle, and Li Jianqun's "history of ascendancy" was disdainful.
But the two are very affectionate, and they are tired of being together all day long regardless of the gossip from the outside world. In the crew, the two are a collaborative partner, she designs costumes for his work, and occasionally plays less important roles.
Outside the crew, the two are lovers and rely on each other. After three years of love, Chen Jialin proposed to get married and have children.
Li Jianqun immediately refused, saying that she would never marry again in her life and would not consider having children. Chen Jialin felt helpless and tried to persuade her to give up such an idea.
But Li Jianqun insisted on this, and told Chen Jialin that if he couldn't accept it, the two would break up. At this point, Chen Jialin was helpless, but he still respected her ideas.
03, had no children in his life, and died quietly at the age of 64
Li Jianqun has experienced a failed marriage, and she knows that marriage and love are far apart. If there is only love between the two, then many trivial things will not happen.
Walking into marriage, love deteriorates, and she doesn't want that. Therefore, the two agreed that they would not be married or sterile in this life, and they would be by each other's side.
In 2001, a "Kangxi Dynasty" was released, and Li Jianqun came out of the circle with the "most beautiful concubine".
At the same time, she also serves as the costume designer of the show, and the design of each set of clothes is by her.
Such a talented and superb actress is a leader in the entire entertainment industry. Unfortunately, the two did not leave a son and a half daughter.
The life of living together is very happy, Chen Jialin and Li Jianqun often enter the crew together and work hard for the work together.
They share the same goal, are each other's confidants and partners. Chen Jialin's parents have urged marriage for many years, and they also hope that Li Jianqun will give birth to a child for the Chen family.
But every time his parents brought up this issue, Chen Jialin would actively avoid the topic, saying that everything was his own problem.
Chen Jialin carefully cared for this love, only hoping that the relationship between the two could last longer. However, surprises always come so quickly.
In 2012, Li Jianqun was unwell and when he went to the hospital for examination, he found that he had a tumor.
After Chen Jialin found out, he immediately pushed off all his work and took her to various places for examination and treatment. Along the way, the two said a lot of intimate words, and Li Jianqun felt the pain of parting from life and death for the first time.
In her painful treatment again and again, every time Chen Jialin went to the crew, she was worried that she would never see each other again. One phone call a day is Li Jianqun's happiest time.
After several years, Chen Jialin took care of her silently, and finally made her condition stable. Just as the two survived this difficult period, Chen Jialin's career went wrong again.
Because his works did not conform to the popular plot, many works were released with mediocre responses.
For a time, the two were worried about their livelihood, and Chen Jialin was worried about his lover's condition and fell directly into bed. Sure enough, in the midst of anxiety, Li Jianqun's tumor deteriorated.
In July 2020, Li Jianqun was hospitalized for more than a week, and still did not improve.
She was in a coma, as if she saw Chen Jialin dragging her tired body and taking care of her.
At that moment, Li Jianqun burst into tears. Before she died, Li Jianqun finally regretted it, and she told Chen Jialin that she regretted not giving birth to a son and a half daughter.
When she died, she would leave him alone to live. Chen Jialin felt very uncomfortable, but she still comforted her lover, it doesn't matter, we will meet again in the next life and have children.
With regret, Li Jianqun passed away, leaving Chen Jialin alone to suffer.
When his lover passed away, Chen Jialin spent every day in pain. In less than a year, his body had been emaciated. Relatives at home came to take care of him, and he did not let people stay overnight.
In July 2022, Chen Jialin passed away quietly and died in the house where the two lived together. There was a smile at the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to have reunited with his lover.
Two more years of living is only two more years of pain. Chen Jialin's heart has never left Li Jianqun, and when she is gone, it also takes away his happiness.
Epilogue:
The wrong time, meeting the right person, creates a lifetime of sadness. Perhaps for Li Jianqun, her life is like this.
The first marriage broke her heart, so she was unwilling to take risks again and refused Chen Jialin's marriage proposal.
However, her repeated refusals made Chen Jialin give up the marriage proposal and was willing to stay with her for the rest of her life without marriage and sterility.
But when he really got old, Li Jianqun knew that with his children by his side, his life would be much happier. If she dies, there are still children to take care of her lover, and her lover does not have to live alone.
Unfortunately, there is no going back. No matter how much she loves Chen Jialin, she can't reverse the time, make her condition better, and accompany him for two more years.
The two died one after another, and no one in the world remembered them, which became a regret.
