On January 4, Veteran Hong Kong actress Li Xiangqin died at home due to illness at the age of 90. She was once known as the first supporting actress in Cantonese opera, and her representative works include "The Good Moon of The Storm of The Heart 2", "The Tale of the Dragon Slaughtering in the Heavens", "There Are Happy Events at Home", "Happy Events in the Flower Fields" and so on. In the line "Storm of Hearts", the line "Don't make a surprise, the hall of the concubines" has impressed many friends.
Li Xiangqin is very dedicated, and in her later years, she still insisted on filming, and she was constantly injured. In 2009, he accidentally inserted a pen into his eyeball while making up, accumulated bruising and almost blindness, but fortunately he was fine in the end. In January 2010, at the age of 78, she filmed for 10 hours a day for four consecutive days, during which she accidentally fainted and fell and swollen her face, her birthday was spent in the hospital, and she still insisted on returning to work after a few days of rest, but her health was not as good as before. In 2011, it was reported that Qin Jie's hand was shaking and was suspected of suffering from Parkinson's, but she took the initiative to clarify that she was not sick.
Li Xiangqin has faded out of the entertainment circle since she fainted during the filming of "The Princess Arrives". In 2012, she fell three times at home, causing bone fractures, and repeatedly entered the hospital for regular physical treatment, in recent years she has been photographed going out in a wheelchair, accompanied by a nurse every week to the park, and when she gets off the car, she has to be held by the two of them together, and there are rumors that she suffers from brain degeneration and high blood pressure.
Her daughter informed her mother of her death to relatives and friends, and it was said that her physical condition had begun to deteriorate in December, and her family was mentally prepared that her memory would deteriorate in her later years and she would not recognize anyone. Now the death of this old artist at the level of drama still makes the audience feel extremely sad.
She stepped onto the stage at the age of 16 and starred in more than 100 Cantonese films, which can be said to be very successful in her career, but her marriage was relatively bumpy. Li Xiangqin married Cantonese opera tycoon Xiao Zhongkun in 1950 and had a daughter, but divorced after 7 years and has not been involved in marriage since.
But the scandal between her and her old partner Tan Bingwen has been passed down for decades. The two met in the 1960s, and in addition to filming together, they also opened a film and television company in the 70s, co-produced a number of films, and recorded vinyl records. In the 80s, both of them worked in tv, so they appeared together on many occasions, and rumors also spread. But both have their own families, Tan Bingwen and his wife have a pair of children, and later after Li Xiangqin's divorce, the scandal became more popular, and it is said that even Tan Bingwen's wife was jealous, so Li Xiangqin no longer partnered with him.
Li Xiangqin once explained to the outside world that there was no love between her and Tan Bingwen. Tan Bingwen died of lung cancer in September last year, and before he died, he also told the outside world that he and Li Xiangqin were only friendship.
Li Xiangqin is also Weng Meiling's mother. The death of Weng Meiling made Li Xiangqin angry, and the two people met the day before Weng Meiling committed suicide. Li Xiangqin once recalled: "After filming that night, I said I would take her home. "Weng Meiling refused to say: 'No, you are going out on location tomorrow, I will take the company's car," and the next day, when Li Xiangqin was out on location, she heard the news of Weng Meiling's suicide. She felt guilty and felt that if she had been taken home that night, Weng Meiling might not have died. But then Weng Meiling's mother comforted, "Even if you send her home that day, it will be useless." She once tried suicide... She would still go the suicidal path. ”
Teacher Li Xiangqin is now gone, and in that world, she may meet those old friends again and wish her rest in peace.
