The name Hui Yinghong may not be familiar to you, but as long as you have seen her face, you will know who she is, what roles she has played, and what kind of experience she has.
Hui Yinghong was born with a serious face, so many directors are vying to let her play a negative role, resulting in many friends who have seen her film and television works think that she is fierce and terrible, which is not only related to the role she plays, but also has a lot to do with her life. She begged for ten years, sealed four times, never married in her life, waited for her first love for 48 years, and now at the age of 62, she is still beautiful.
Hui Yinghong has had a rough life and suffered from life, even if she is 62 years old, her works often appear in the audience's field of vision, she is a respected teacher and one of the top legends in Hong Kong.
Hui Yinghong was born in Hong Kong, and although she can speak fluent Cantonese, she is a Shandong native in her bones, with a noble bloodline, a Manchu Zhenghuangqi "Gege", and an orthodox descendant of the Empress Dowager Cixi. She was born in Hong Kong in 1960 with eight siblings and a very prosperous family, but everything changed after she was born. Hui Yinghong's father was originally a rich son of a large family in Shandong, but because of the war at that time, his father heard about the peace in Hong Kong, so he fled to Hong Kong with his wife, children and family property.
At that time, Hong Kong was prosperous, and Hui Yinghong's father saw the world, and soon was tempted by the drunken gold fans of the metropolis, infected with gambling addiction, and his family property was quickly destroyed. The family could only move from a large and comfortable mansion into a log cabin built by their own family, but they did not want the house to leak and rained overnight, and a typhoon blew the log cabin to pieces, and the family had nowhere to go but to sleep on the street.
In order to survive, the family went to the streets to beg, the older brothers and sisters were sent to the theater class to be apprentices, and the young Hui Yinghong could only follow her mother to the streets to beg in order to find food and clothing, and her father was injured while wandering.
When she was a child, Hui Yinghong was inevitably greedy for fun, and if she didn't go her mother's way, she would be beaten severely. When she grew older, Hui Yinghong began to learn to look at the eyes, she and her mother sold chewing gum to American sailors, and she knew that in order to make a lot of money, she had to learn how to be likeable.
The story of Hui Yinghong and her first love of the American sailor that is widely spread to this day happened when she was 12 years old. That day, as usual, she was selling chewing gum at the dock to subsidize the family, and an American sailor leaned against the shore to rest, and the pure-looking Hui Yinghong immediately caught the attention of the sailor, and he stepped forward to talk to her.
Since then, the sailor has often taken care of her business, as long as he comes, Hui Yinghong's chewing gum will not worry about selling, and the two are very familiar with each other. The appearance of American sailors, for Hui Yinghong, whose family has been broken since childhood, is like a light that lights up the dark night and gives her warmth.
But the good times did not last long, the American sailors were about to go to the battlefield, and before leaving, he gave all the money to Hui Yinghong and told her that he liked Hui Yinghong and would wait for him to return if he could.
Soon, Hui Yinghong's father became more and more ill, and the income from selling chewing gum and begging on the street was completely insufficient to support the family, and Hui Yinghong could only seek a job that came quickly and steadily.
So through introduction, she went to a nightclub to work as a dancer, although there is no foundation in dance, but fortunately she is very hard, I heard that the salary of the leading dance can be 1500 yuan, so she practiced harder offstage. Later, by chance, she was appreciated by director Zhang Che, thinking that she was very suitable for Mu Nianci, who was preparing for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", so she took the initiative to find Hui Yinghong.
In this way, Hui Yinghong first set foot in the film and television industry, got the role of "Mu Nianci", the second female of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and signed a contract with Shaw Films. Soon, this real and really daring girl in the play was favored by director Liu Jialiang, and in 1981 Hui Yinghong starred in the heroine in "The Elders", and later won the first Hong Kong Film Awards Best Actress with this film, which was also the first Best Actress Award in her life.
In 1999, Hui Yinghong died of only one second. At that time, she fell into the trough of her career, coupled with the pain caused by the loss of love, so she suffered from depression and embarked on the road to suicide. She swallowed a large amount of sleeping pills, called a friend to say a final goodbye, and was fortunately rescued by a friend in time, and the doctor told her that Hui Yinghong would die a second later.
It turned out that the Hong Kong circle at that time was undergoing a big change, and martial arts actresses like Hui Yinghong were no longer hot in the Hong Kong circle, and the popular on the market was fresh and vulgar literary films. Therefore, Hui Yinghong, who is accustomed to filming scenes, has a narrower and narrower path, and even went to Paris to make a living, taking large-scale photos, praying for more resources. Despite this, life has not changed, and she is disappointed in life, and she only wants to die.
It wasn't until 2005 that she made a low-key comeback in the form of a newcomer role that everyone knew that she hadn't disappeared. At that time, she was at an awkward age as an actor, because she could only play some mothers or aunts in middle age, but after being reborn, she believed that as long as she worked hard, she would have a chance. Later, she was sealed again, and participated in "Lucky Is Me" and "Blood Guanyin" and won the Golden Image Award and the Golden Horse Award respectively.
Today, 62-year-old Hui Yinghong is still beautiful, looking back on the first half of her life, begging for ten years, four times after being sealed, never married in her life, and waiting for her first love for 48 years. For her, she has experienced two rebirths of nirvana, one from being a beggar to winning the best actress at the first Hong Kong Film Awards, and the other being in a trough and dying to win the Academy Award and the Golden Horse Award.
Hui Yinghong's life is inspirational, she has never bowed to fate, and now she is more confident and attractive, I don't know if you like her?
