"Recently, I was told by some people not to send the message of loving China again, as a Chinese where do you love China? I have shot many films of Chinese police, the first one: love the country, the party, and the people. ”
Recently, a Weibo post released by Taiwanese actress Yang Lijing has attracted a lot of attention.
Many netizens began to search for the name Yang Lijing in their memories, but found that "there was no such person". However, when it comes to the roles she has played - Shangguan Wuji in "The Legend of Xiang Shuai", Zhao Yanling in "Central Plains Dart Bureau", and Mo Shuo's sister in "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan", countless people's youth memories will be instantly recalled.
Yang Lijing played Mo Shuo in "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan".
As a popular actress at the end of the last century, Yang Lijing has created many heroic and cool roles on the screen. However, after entering the new century, she gradually disappeared from the vision of television viewers.
In recent years, her figure has appeared more on social accounts such as Weibo and Douyin, practicing yoga, boxing, chasing "Sweeping Black Storm", cheering up Chinese Olympic athletes... A generation of "beating women" has lived out their own taste.
From "beating women" to costumed goddesses
Yang Lijing once had a famous label on her body: "Yang Ziqiong's successor".
At the end of the 1980s, Yang Lijing, who was only an advertising star at that time, was selected by the director because of her good dance skills, and succeeded Yang Ziqiong, who was about to get married, and starred in the police gangster movie "Royal Master Sister 3: The Male and Female Thief", officially starting her acting career in Hong Kong.
Yang Lijing played a royal police officer in "Royal Master Sister 3: The Male and Female Thief".
At that time, due to limited cost and imperfect technology, the film almost did not use computer stunts, and the play was all played by the actors themselves.
Yang Lijing, who is less than 20 years old, with a dark curly hair, looks Sven, and is unambiguous in the fight scene, the action is crisp and clean, and the fist is flesh. In one scene, she plays a royal police officer and a gangster fighting in a speeding car.
The two were fighting on the roof of the car, and when she was kicked down by the gangsters, her feet kicked the glass, her legs reached into the window, and most of her body hung outside the car and shook. She quickly struggled to get up, grabbed the window with both hands, hung her legs outside the body, and finally rolled over and rolled out of the lane... This series of difficult actions was completed by Yang Lijing herself.
In "Royal Sister 3: Male and Female Thieves", Yang Lijing's car play impressed the audience.
With this outstanding performance, she successfully transformed into "beating women", and has since received a number of police films, starring as a policewoman in films such as "Super Policewoman" and "Overlord Flower".
These film and television works have paved a lot for Yang Lijing's development on the road of acting, but what really made her popular was the costume martial arts TV series "The Legend of Xiang Shuai" broadcast in 1995.
In the play, Zheng Shaoqiu plays the male protagonist Chu Liuxiang, and Yang Lijing plays the delicate and beautiful heroine Shangguan Wuji. In the process of competing for the relic, the two unconsciously fell into the entanglement of love and hatred.

At that time, Yang Lijing's costumes surprised many viewers: white clothes fluttering, white skin and beautiful, the key is extraordinary skills, superb martial arts. This drama has made Yang Lijing an unforgettable costume goddess in the hearts of many "post-70s" and "post-80s", and has also allowed her to successfully break into the mainland market.
Yang Lijing's appearance in "The Legend of Xiang Shuai" is amazing.
Since then, Yang Lijing has successively starred in many costume dramas, such as "The Flower Mulan of Heaven and Earth", "Central Plains Dart Bureau", "Liaozhai Stream of Light And Robbery" and so on.
Until in "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan", she played on the same stage with Zhang Guoguo, Wang Gang, Zhang Tielin and other old actors, and finally ushered in the peak of her career. In addition to her extraordinary skills, she played Mo Shuo also had an elegant and generous tenderness, which won the love of a large number of audiences.

However, just as the audience was expecting her to bring more wonderful performances, Yang Lijing stopped working in front of the camera.
"Desperate Three Ladies" temporarily off the screen
Quitting the screen is a helpless move for Yang Lijing, the "Desperate Three Ladies".
Born in Chiayi City, Taiwan in 1968, she learned jazz dancing since childhood and aspired to become a dancer. After growing up, she was admitted to the well-known art school in Taiwan, the Guoguang Opera Art Experimental School, and then went to the scene of major dance competitions.
Entering the entertainment industry is actually a coincidence. Once, when she participated in a dance competition, she was selected to shoot a commercial because of her good appearance. And because she made a name for herself in the advertising circle, she got the opportunity to star in film and television dramas.
Yang Lijing's youth.
However, at that time, the image of the "girl next door" was popular in the Taiwan film and television circle, and Yang Lijing's heroic appearance was not flattering. On the recommendation of her peers, she is ready to go to Hong Kong for development.
Her family did not support her choice. She has studied dance for so many years, how can she say that she gave up and gave up? And she is not yet 18 years old, going to Hong Kong alone to shoot martial arts films, can she really do it?
But her family's opposition did not shake Ms. Yang's resolve. She felt that she should fight when she was young, otherwise she would definitely regret it in the future. Arguing, she sat on the stairs and cried, and the "hunger strike" for three days finally brought in her mother's compromise.
Perhaps this start was not easy, Yang Lijing always tried her best in future performances. No matter how difficult the shooting requirements, she never said "yes" and not "no".
And shooting martial arts scenes, the more you fight, it means the more dangerous.
In the mid-1990s, Yang Lijing encountered a major accident when filming "The Flower Mulan of Heaven and Earth". While filming on the mountain, she flew around in mid-air with a pressure on her, but the rope behind her "snapped" and broke, causing her to fall directly from a height of about 5 meters. Eventually, life was saved, but the spine was broken, the kneecap was broken, and the hip muscles began to atrophy.
Yang Lijing starred in "The Flower Mulan of Heaven and Earth".
In 1997, she starred in the movie "The Great General", and when she was kicked away, she slammed into the wall and lost consciousness in an instant.
Cuts to the face and injuries to the hands and legs gradually became a common occurrence for Yang Lijing when filming. During the filming of "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan", she also lost her teeth in the fight scene.
She never cried out for tiredness, but the accumulated pain had unconsciously planted a bomb in her body. Around 2000, when she woke up one day, she suddenly found herself unable to move, and after being taken to the hospital, she was diagnosed with a serious spinal injury that required immediate surgery and could no longer exercise vigorously.
During that time, she could only rely on others to even go to the toilet. She has always been strong, and it is unbearable for her to bear this. At the same time, her house in Taiwan was reduced to rubble by the earthquake. The double blow of wealth and health made her physically and mentally exhausted and decided to leave the show business for a while.
People who love life will be loved by life
Yang Lijing, who returned to ordinary life, did not completely get rid of the pressure.
After breaking up with her first love, she once talked about a 14-year relationship, but it ended without a problem, and then she encountered a boyfriend with violent tendencies, and once needed to call the police for protection.
In 2010, she fell into a "plastic surgery storm". Repeated denials but the effect is not good, so in 2015, she specifically sought a doctor to identify and prove her "innocence". Later, when attending the fan meeting, she said that "exercise is the best beauty and the best way to maintain".
Yang Lijing does like sports, especially yoga.
In the days of physical rehabilitation training, people's psychology inevitably has a huge gap - in the past, she could "hit ten with one", but now she can't help but tremble her legs when she squats. But she didn't give up on herself, and it was at this time that she came into contact with the sport of yoga.
When she saw that the 60-year-old yoga teacher was still young, she was very envious and regained the confidence to shape a healthy body through exercise. She began to study yoga and earned an international yoga teacher certificate, and then taught in Taiwan to try to promote yoga, and published several books and videos of yoga teaching.

The movement seems to have also made Yang Lijing's mentality more positive.
She plays Weibo and not only posts her own "business" photos ↓↓
Also concerned about the country and society, national day, party founding day to send blessings to the motherland, cheering for Chinese athletes during the Olympic Games, praying for peace during the flood in Henan ↓↓
She also plays TikTok. Not long ago, she released such a short video of Douyin: in the background of the light blue sky, she flipped over with her hands on the ground, smiled and said "Yay" to the camera, with the words "Patriotic people will definitely be loved by the Chinese people".
In 2018, 50-year-old Yang Lijing wrote this paragraph on Weibo:
"In the past, I quit the screen countless times due to injuries in the shooting scenes, and now I return to the screen through sports, so I must smile at life, full of love and positive energy." Don't care what others think of you, after all, that's just what they expect of you! Be your true self. ”
This is perhaps the best summary of the first half of her life, and the excitement of the second half of her life has just begun.
