Recalling the Hong Kong film industry in the 90s of the last century, which word would you use to describe it?
Is it the rich and novel subject matter, which makes people shine with fun, or the joy of all kinds of beautiful people?
No one is forever young, but there are always people who miss the film industry of the last century.
I think all readers who have seen the Legend of Heaven and Dragon Slayer will not forget the noble and rose-like Mongolian princess Zhao Min.
But we also know that there are countless actors who have played the role of Zhao Min, and Zhang Min's interpretation of "Zhao Min" is shocking and looking forward, and Yushu is in the wind.
Jia Jingwen's "Zhao Min" looks cunning and intelligent, full of spirit.
And Lizi's "Zhao Min" is more weak and charming... It can be said that they have their own merits, but the most recognized among them must be Liu Yupu, who is known as the most beautiful Zhao Min.
Mr. Jin Yong once said: "Liu Yupu's Zhao Min is the best in my opinion. ”
It's a pity that Liu Yupu outside the play does not have the dignity and grace of Zhao Min in the play, and her life seems to be a strange circle entangled in tragedy.
What exactly did she go through?
Entrusted non-human marriage
In 1985, a news that shocked the film industry came out - "The Most Beautiful Zhao Min" Liu Yupu announced a flash marriage.
This is the second year of her fame because of the role of Zhao Min, which should have been a blowout period for her career, but in the seething reports and discussions in the media, in the support and incomprehension of her family, she threw herself into the arms of that man because she longed for the moth of light.
She longed to be loved and gambled almost everything, and the man's name was Zhang Jianzhong.
Zhang Jianzhong is not a celebrity, just a local church pastor, the reason why he met Liu Yupu is also because after becoming famous, Liu Yupu chose to use religious beliefs as sustenance in order to ease his emotions, so in her spare time, she often came to the church where Zhang Jianzhong was located.
Gradually, she was attracted to this man who was a few years older than herself.
Liu Yupu felt that he seemed to be different from all the men he had seen before, he was gentle, decent and generous, never forced himself to do things he was unwilling to do, and would take care of himself properly.
After a long time, Liu Yupu still remembered that she just said that her throat was uncomfortable, and Zhang Jianzhong immediately prepared a medicine that could relieve it.
This made Liu Yupu extremely convinced that this was a man who would always put her in her heart, and in this way, she insisted on entering the palace of marriage with Zhang Jianzhong despite opposition.
After marriage, the two also had a good time mixing oil in honey, but the man who could not stand the test of time soon showed his horse's feet
What's going on here?
It turned out that although she was married, Liu Yupu had no plans to give up her career.
On the one hand, she also hopes to earn more money to subsidize her family, but also because she really loves this acting career, so from 1988 to 1989, she participated in many excellent TV series, she originally had a fairly stable audience base, and her career was naturally thriving.
It's just that Zhang Jianzhong can't stand it, and he continues to try to convince Liu Yupu with sweet words.
Now we are not completely sure why he let Liu Yupu leave the entertainment industry, but Liu Yupu chose to believe her.
Because she lacks love too much and cares too much about a person's commitment, under Zhang Jianzhong's sugar-coated cannonball offensive, she really chose to give up her great career.
Zhang Jianzhong suddenly said that he wanted to study in the United States, Liu Yupu accompanied him to go together, he will go back after completing his studies, Liu Yupu did not have any complaints, and immediately chose to give up his studies to accompany him back.
After Zhang Jianzhong lacked funds in the process of starting a business, she took out all her savings to support him, and even returned to the entertainment industry, shooting many works in a row, and she was almost squeezing herself out to help her husband.
Liu Yupu gave almost everything to this man.
It's a pity that sincerity can't be exchanged for sincerity, and after seeing that Liu Yupu's surplus value has been squeezed out by himself, Zhang Jianzhong finally revealed his hideous true face.
He began to carry out domestic violence against Liu Yupu, and even more viciously spoke to her, degrading and insulting the once radiant "Zhao Min" from top to bottom, from inside to outside, forcing her to almost go crazy.
Liu Yupu was terrified and wanted to get out, but was forced to pay the price of "leaving the house".
Perhaps when you see this, you will sigh a little angrily that this is a stupid woman who ruined her career for men and suffered so much damage.
But when you finish reading the story of her childhood and adolescence, you may only be left with this emotion of distress.
A gloomy childhood
When we read the story of the second half of Liu Yupu's life, it is not difficult to find that Liu Yupu has been trapped by the word love in this life.
In the past, it was often said that "what is young will eventually trap him for a lifetime", which means that what he didn't get when he was a child will trap a person for the rest of his life, and Liu Yupu's life just reflects this sentence.
It is precisely because she has not received enough love in her native family that she will spend her life seeking compensation elsewhere.
Liu Yupu is not the kind of child born with love and hope, and she has borne the pain since the day she came to this world.
In 1963, a baby girl fell to the ground, and the newborn child had a wrinkled face and some red marks, but it was vaguely visible that she looked good, and no one expected that this little girl would be popular all over the country because of a role in the future.
She is Liu Yupu.
Finding out that it was a girl, Liu Yupu's father's smile disappeared, scolding the money-losing goods and leaving, and since then, her tragic experience has officially begun.
Because she is a girl, in the process of growing up, Liu Yupu suffered from her father's cold eyes and endless beatings, and even if her mother finally gave birth to a boy, everything did not improve at all, she was still beaten and scolded, and even violated.
In her memory, on the gray rainy days and the room, she curled up in a ball, while the cowardly mother just held her brother on the side, lowering her head, not daring to speak, for fear of getting her father's anger.
At that time, she did not have a strong ability to distinguish between right and wrong, but she knew that if she wanted to live, she had to please her father, but her father was not a good father, and until she was twelve years old, he was constantly hurting her in various ways.
At that time, Liu Yupu made up his mind.
She's going to escape! Liu Yupu naively thought that everything was just because of her father's side, as long as she escaped, everything would be fine, who knew all the pain, this was just the beginning.
Hard-working, still unable to escape the original family
Perhaps because of her childhood experience, Liu Yupu is a person who can endure hardships, and at the same time, she is also a person who grasps opportunities.
At the age of 12, Liu Yupu, who seized the opportunity to go to boarding school, was finally able to temporarily escape from her father's beating, but she did not stop at all, and did not dare to give herself a chance to rest for a day.
Liu Yupu also clearly knew that all this was only temporary, if her grades were not good enough, if she could not pay the tuition, if she could not study further, she would still have to return to the nightmarish hellish home.
So she worked part-time, worked part-time in her spare time, and finally, she was really admitted to a famous media college in Taiwan and jumped to a new level.
As time passed, Liu Yupu gradually grew, and more people recognized her beauty, and this beauty soon brought a huge turning point in his life.
Once, Liu Yupu, who was working outside, met a scout by chance.
The scout immediately became interested in Liu Yupu, she is not a weak beauty in the traditional sense, but also a little heroic, which is very special.
As soon as it came and went, the scout gave her the opportunity to shoot a chewing gum commercial, which not only allowed her to save her first pot of gold, but also made her name a hit in the circle.
Through this advertisement, she saved a sum of money, and the name Liu Yupu quickly spread in the circle.
This was undoubtedly great news for her, in addition to part-time work, she finally had a stable way to earn money, and soon she rented a house outside, which also helped her escape from hell.
In order to no longer be abused by her father, Liu Yupu fled the family and moved out of the nightmare home.
But Liu Yupu clearly knows that this is not a long-term solution for her, and she needs a better path to reach the peak of her life in order to truly get rid of the harm caused by this family.
In 1981, Shaw Film Company, which had shot countless classic works, went to Taiwan to recruit actors.
Liu Yupu, who learned the news, immediately signed up and was soon selected.
She was selected on the one hand because of her outstanding appearance, and on the other hand because she was willing to endure hardships.
At that time, many action movies were difficult because of the high risk factor, and those actors with slightly better conditions were not willing to shoot at all, for fear of being injured and affecting their careers.
But Liu Yupu never chooses, as long as there are new roles, she is willing to try.
Since 1982, Liu Yupu has been active in different dramas, these characters are not necessarily the protagonists, but they are very consistent with her image style, making her liked by many audiences.
Later, she took on many film and television dramas and slowly gained some fame in the film industry.
However, what really made Liu Yupu popular was the role of Zhao Min in "The Legend of Relying on the Sky and Slaying the Dragon" in 1984.
At that time, no one would have predicted that this version of "The Legend of Relying on the Sky and Slaying the Dragon" would be popular all over the country as soon as it was broadcast, and she was praised by many audiences as the best looking character in the play.
Originally, if this continued, she would definitely shine in the Chinese film industry and even the world, but her body and mind have been completely destroyed.
After the divorce, Liu Yupu, who had no money, could only return to the home she once wanted to escape with scars in her heart.
Half a life adrift, why did she choose to go back?
Perhaps at that time, she also fantasized that such a scarred self could find a little comfort from her parents, and maybe everything would change.
It is a pity that her father, who got into Qian's eyes, only beat her up for her "stupid behavior" of leaving the house, and her mother, as she remembered when she was twelve years old, would only hide to the side and pretend to see nothing.
Exacerbation
Liu Yupu gave up.
She is like a drowning person who has given up her survival, giving up on herself and allowing herself to sink into the depths of the lightless seabed.
With no hope, she began to attempt suicide — swallowing sleeping pills and slitting her wrists—but it still didn't arouse the slightest concern from her parents, who only treated her as a cash cow.
According to Liu Yupu's memories of making friends before his death, Liu's mother not only did not think so, but even blocked a group of friends who accompanied Liu Yupu outside, and kept saying that Liu Yupu was just scaring everyone and not taking it seriously.
Perhaps in the company of friends, Liu Yupu also tried to save herself, but she was depressed like a hateful greyhound, tightly wrapped around her neck, making her tie her hands.
She does not have Zhao Min's good luck and good character, outside the play, she seems to be the opposite of Zhao Min's life, in the face of countless injuries and blows, she can only painfully slide into the abyss.
In the end, Liu Yupu admitted defeat to fate.
On March 14, 2009, Liu Yupu's body was found in a rental house, three days after her death.
According to the forensic examination, she committed suicide by taking an overdose of sleeping pills, and when she committed suicide, she took about 200 tablets, which is a lethal amount of medicine and will also cause the deceased to suffer great pain.
When her few friends were sorting out the relics for her, they found that Liu Yupu only had less than 100 yuan of change all over her body.
The heroic and beautiful Mongolian princess left us forever.
First learn to love yourself
Liu Yupu left us, this matter is sad, but from her affairs, it is not difficult to find that whether it is the education of the original family or the correct expression of our own emotions acquired is an extremely important lesson in our lives.
If Liu Yupu could have a normal family of origin, would she not be so eager to ask for love from the outside world after that, and then be deceived by men?
If she can maintain rational restraint in the face of love, will she not beat herself up because of Zhang Jianzhong's injury?
Before you can love others, you must first love yourself.
