She had 4 serious illnesses, 7 surgeries, 44 years old, had bowel cancer, and was asserted by doctors that "she will not live long..."
She was ill-fated, twice betrayed by her lover, and gave birth to her only son, but at the age of 16, she suffered from schizophrenia, often punching and kicking her.
In order to take care of her son, she took him to film for 43 years until his son died.
There were many hardships in life, she suffered, she survived.
She is the "People's Artist", known as Qin Yi, the "most beautiful woman" in the show business world.
Her life's experience is truly a legend.
In 1922, Qin Yi was born into a large family with ten siblings, and she was the sixth. When I was born, I almost threw it away.
After the Battle of August 13, Shanghai fell. Qin Yi, who did not want to be a slave to the country, quietly left Shanghai, went all the way to Chongqing, and sought a way out to make a living.
By chance, she became an actress and sang in the film studio.
One day, she met Zhou Enlai at a friend's dinner table. Zhou Enlai encouraged her: "Your singing will arouse the blood of tens of millions of people, and countless people, inspired by the song, will fight even more bloodily." ”
Qin Yi gave birth to a kind of power. She participated in drama performances, occasionally played cameos in movies, whether eating or sleeping, she used her mind on performance, when there was a play, she must accurately pinch the expression and action; when there was no play, she was carefully pondering the performance of others on the side, Qin Yi simply went to the point of going crazy.
At this time, she met Chen Tianguo, the first handsome brother of the film studio. One day, Chen Tianguo said to Qin Yi, "I asked a few colleagues to climb the mountain, so why don't you go together?" ”
Qin Yi agreed.
When she reached the top of the mountain, she found that there was no one else. Just as he was surprised, Chen Tianguo said, "Ever since I met you, I have liked you." The days without you are simply too painful. Marry me. ”
Qin Yi's eyes widened in shock, and she subconsciously said, "No, I'm still too young, please be cool." ”
Chen Tianguo instantly rushed to the edge of the cliff like crazy. He pulled Qin Yi along: "If you don't agree, I will jump off the cliff." ”
"Mr. Chen, you spared me!" Under the mountain wind, young Qin Yi was frightened and trembled.
"If you don't marry me, what does it mean for me to be alive?" Chen Tianguo roared angrily.
There was a cliff in front and an evil man in the back, and Qin Yi collapsed softly to the ground, losing consciousness...
After returning, Qin Yi fell ill. She often had a fever, scabies, abscesses in her limbs, blood spilling from the cracks of her fingers and toes, and she was sick for four months.
However, Chen Tianguo was worried that the night was long and dreamy, and despite Qin Yi's illness, he privately set a marriage date and forced Qin Yi to get married.
During the new marriage, Chen Tianguo drank alcohol every day.
One day in the middle of the night, Chen Tianguo came back drunk again, and as soon as he entered the door, he punched and kicked Qin Yi, only because Qin Yi opened the door slowly for a while.
She was so angry that she cried all night. "Just got married like this, will the days ahead be?" Thinking of this, the sad Qin Yi moved to the women's dormitory in the factory.
Soon after, Qin Yi found out that she was pregnant. Chen Tianguo was very happy, he thought that Qin Yi would not be able to leave him now.
Qin Yi thought about it before and after, there was no way, she felt that she should look at the child's sake, talk to Chen Tianguo, as long as he does not drink, do not beat people, she will go home and live a good life with him.
However, domestic violence is always only zero times and infinite times.
That day, Chen Tianguo was drunk again, Qin Yi was patient and kind to persuade each other, but he picked up the large porcelain bowl used for drinking and smashed it into Qin Yi, Qin Yi could not hide, his calf was smashed by the bowl, blood flowed down the calf, the pain was unbearable, Qin Yi's leg was soft, and he fell to the ground. This domestic violence left a permanent scar on Qin Yi's calf.
Qin Yi was dead hearted, and she once again moved away from Chen Tianguo's residence.
At that time, the Japanese army bombed Chongqing from time to time, and Qin Yi often had to hold up her belly and hide in the air raid shelter, and after a bombing, she gave birth to a daughter.
The birth of their daughter did not ease their relationship, Qin Yi proposed a divorce, chen Tianguo refused. The two sides were deadlocked, and neither of them would budge.
At this time, Qin Yi fell ill with falciparum malaria. It was hot and cold all day, often with a high fever of forty degrees, and almost died.
The troubles in the marriage have not yet been solved, and Qin Yi's favorite eldest sister has passed away.
The hardships of life seemed to follow her all the time.
However, these sufferings also made Qin Yi in the play.
She joined the China Drama Art Society and played the main character Huang Shuhui in the drama "The Rejuvenation of the Earth".
The grief and pain in life are all burst out of the characters she plays, and the performance has been praised by all parties. So much so that 22 consecutive performances, the field is full.
This drama made Qin Yi famous in one fell swoop.
Since then, Qin Yi has acted in many plays, and has rapidly grown into one of the four famous artists in the field of qu art, along with Bai Yang, Shu Xiuwen and Zhang Ruifang.
Can't get married, life has to go on, Qin Yi while acting, while taking her daughter.
It wasn't until later, when Chen Tianguo had a new girlfriend, that Qin Yi finally divorced.
However, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, her father died again, and Qin Yi became the pillar of the family, and she took on the life of the eleven members of the family alone.
In order to support her family, she began to enter the film industry, from acting in drama to acting in movies.
At this time, she met the famous film emperor Jin Yan, who was handsome and capable, and most importantly, Jin Yan, like Qin Yi, had an iron bone in front of the Japanese, which quickly attracted Qin Yi's attention.
He also likes to go to Qin Yi's house, often playing mahjong with Qin Yi's mother and playing with Qin Yi's daughter Fei Fei. This made Qin Yi feel very warm.
In 1947, they were officially married and were praised by Guo Moruo as the "Silver Altar Wings". A year later, Qin Yi gave birth to a son, Jin Jie (nicknamed Little Brother).
Qin Yi threw herself into her new life with a grateful heart.
Everything looked immaculate. However, under the gorgeous robe, there are often lice hidden that no one sees.
Qin Yi was busy filming, busy studying, busy going deep into life; after filming, she went to the countryside to participate in the land reform movement, so busy that she couldn't take care of Jin Yan's emotions.
Jin Yan's personality is upright and has offended many people, which has led to him often having no drama to shoot, his temper is getting bigger and bigger, he is irritable, and he often borrows wine to pour sorrow. Over time, their feelings become somewhat distant.
Qin Yi returned from filming and found that Jin Yan had cheated.
What is even more desperate is that the object of Jin Yan's derailment is Still Qin Yi's own sister.
For a time, love and affection were engraved with the brand of "betrayal".
After hesitating for a long time, Qin Yi proposed a divorce, but Jin Yan did not agree.
In this way, the two people looked at each other, "silver altar wings", gradually drifting apart.
After the relationship with Jin Yan gradually faded, Qin Yi was in the film career, but it was like a day in the sky.
In 1957, the color feature film "Women's Basketball No. 5", starring Qin Yi and filmed by Shanghai Film Studio, won a silver medal and was recommended to participate in the China Film Week in Cairo.
Qin Yi thus received greater honors. After that, she took on more films. In the two years from 1958 to 1959, she made four films and performed two plays, and her artistic creation reached its peak. Lin Hong, who she played in "Song of Youth", even Premier Zhou Enlai said: "Look, the character of Lin Hong, people will not forget." ”
Qin Yi was red and purple, but Jin Yan drank heavily all day and completely destroyed his body.
Due to stomach bleeding, he was treated in the hospital for a long time and suffered a serious injury. Stomach disease for several consecutive years, had no choice but to remove the stomach, after the operation also fell neurogenic gastrectomy sequelae.
Seeing that Jin Yan was sick like this, the kind Qin Yi never mentioned the divorce again.
Since then, they have lived under one roof for 37 years and separated for 30 years.
If it is said that Jin Yan's derailment made her aggrieved and painful, then her son Jin Jie's illness simply broke her hope for life.
In May 1965, Jin Jie suffered from schizophrenia. Hearing the news, Qin Yi was stunned, she couldn't figure out how Jin Jie would get such a disease.
She ran to the mental hospital to inquire, and the doctor affirmatively told her that the incubation period of Jin jie's illness was very long and irreparable. The doctor's words were as terrible as a thunderbolt on a sunny day. At that moment, Qin Yi really wanted to die.
It's just that she's dead, who cares about Jinjie? A child without a mother is a small grass that can be trampled on.
Qin Yi asked the doctor why he had the disease and whether he could cure it. The doctor said ambiguously, "If you can find the root cause of the disease..."
Qin Yi wanted to come and go, but she couldn't find the cause of the disease, she felt extremely guilty, and decided to use all her time outside of work to accompany Jin Jie.
She sent Jin Jie to the hospital for treatment, and guarded Jin Jie day and night, accompanied him, bathed him, washed his hair, cut his nails, the trivialities of life, she did not tire of it, everything was done for Jin Jie.
After being discharged from the hospital, she gave Jin Jie a suspension procedure, hoping that he would rest more time, maybe the illness would be better.
Jin Jie, under her care, had just gotten a little better. Qin Yi was diagnosed with bowel cancer. This year, she was 44 years old.
Fate is such an injustice, some people are the icing on the cake, some people are worse.
Qin Yi cried, but what could he do.
"I can't fall, I can't fall down. The child needs me, and the family needs me. She dropped her job, followed the doctor's instructions, hospitalized, rested, and took care of Jin Jie.
In 1968, Jin Jie's old disease recurred.
He stood on the balcony, threw the key in his hand downstairs, and tried to jump down the railing of the balcony. Qin Yi rushed over in panic and grabbed his son: "Little brother, what do you want to do!" ”
"Mom, the key fell, someone downstairs called me, he told me to jump off the balcony and get it."
Qin Yi was so nervous that her heart was about to jump out, so she had to take turns staring at her son with her mother. She stared at Jin Jie every day to take medicine and take a bath, which had never been broken for more than ten years.
In 1978, Jin Jie turned from depression to mania, a 1.81-meter child, and beat people indiscriminately.
As a last resort, Qin Yi took Jin Jie with him when filming.
When Qin Yi was filming in Hainan, it was a sweltering heat, the temperature was as high as forty degrees, and there was no cool water in the hot spring, from morning to night, people seemed to be in the sauna. Jin Jie was bored in the room every day, restless.
That night, Qin Yi finished filming, and as soon as she entered the door, Jin Jie beat her up without a head.
Qin Yi was helpless and said to his son: "Little brother, my mother wants to shoot a scene, you can't punch your face, just hit your back." She turned around, enduring the pain, and let Jin Jie's fist smash into her body.
Jin Jie was tired and slept. The tears on Qin Yi's face also wet her clothes, and the suffering wrapped around her, trembling.
In addition to taking care of Jin Jie's life, Qin Yi tells stories to her son and plays games with her son. At the age of 70, she is still groping for her son's medication methods, medication time, and for her son, she has thought of all the ways she can think of; the things that can be done have been done.
One day, she saw 50-year-old Jin Jie holding a blank piece of paper to write and draw, and Qin Yi's eyes lit up. She hired a teacher for Jin Jie, who specially taught Jin Jie to draw.
"Mom, I want to draw the Big Apple."
Qin Yi placed an apple on the table. Jin Jie painted on the spot and quickly painted it.
"Mom, I still want to paint."
"Then how about you paint your mother?" Qin Yi asked.
Jin Jie walked over happily and gave her mother a fragrant kiss on her face.
Qin Yi took Jin Jie and painted in the park. Each time, he carried a bucket of water, Qin Yi carried a picture clip, carried a small bench, and the mother and son left countless figures on the bench, next to the rockery, on the lawn, under the big tree.
In May 2002, Qin Yi took Jin Jie's "Hengshan Park" to the charity evening auction and was bought by Schwarzenegger for $25,000.
After knowing Qin Yi's deeds, Schwarzenegger said movingly: "Qin Yi is a Chinese movie star I admire, she is also a great mother, for the sake of her sick son, she did too much!" ”
In the later charity bazaar, Qin Yi donated Jin Jie's "My Mother" to the charity department, and the painting sold for 30,000 yuan.
Her son's life looks more and more meaningful, Qin Yi is getting older and older, and after 80 years old, she is also more and more worried about her son's life.
She had to live, she was afraid that she was gone, and her son was alone to face the world.
She struggled to live, and at the age of 86, the "difficulty of happiness" of this life came to an end.
On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2008, the 59-year-old Jin Jie fell ill again, and Qin Yi refused to ask for a nurse, and he stayed in the hospital all day and all night. After more than twenty days in the hospital, Jin Jie left, and Qin Yi's son was gone.
She put a large photo of Jin Jie in her home, and put flowers next to the photo every day, and she could not forget her son for nearly sixty years.
The old and the old, the young and the young. Qin Yi put his love for his son in the four seas.
After the Wenchuan earthquake, Qin Yi donated the money originally saved for Jin Jie to see a doctor to the Sichuan disaster area.
She said: "I'm so old, I can't do much, the only thing I can do is donate..."
Someone praised her monthly salary of only 2,000 yuan and donated her life savings, which she immediately denied: "My life is not affected by donations, there is no savings, and next month's salary." ”
She did her best for her son; she spared no effort to rebuild her home.
The son is gone, and the elderly Qin Yi still has not forgotten his career.
In 2014, the 93-year-old Qin Yi personally directed and starred in the movie "Qinghai Lakeside", which stringed together a 30-year-long story, in which Qin Yi played the 60-year-old heroine.
She said: "I still hope that there is a spirit in the work that can be carried forward and enlightened people's hearts." ”
For this play, she conducted field trips, in-depth experience, and told her feelings to the end of the pen.
The 93-year-old man writes the script every night and changes the script.
Referring to the creation of "Qinghai Lakeside", she said: "One night I wrote more than 3800 words, and I thought that tomorrow I would write 20 more words, and insist on writing 20 more words every day, which is victory." I was a hand-written script that catharticized all my feelings on paper. ”
In this way, she encouraged herself every day and insisted on writing every day. It took her a month and a half to finally finish the script.
Shooting locations in Qinghai, many people have altitude sickness. As a result, the oldest of hers, she completed the shooting task perfectly.
At the age of 95, she played the old palace girl in "The Legend of the Demon Cat", just sitting there, there is a kind of poetry and vicissitudes of "the white-headed palace girl is here, sitting idly talking about Xuanzong".
She said: "I was on call whenever the audience needed it. "She went from the drama stage to the film and television screens, shaping countless successful characters and winning countless awards.
Today, Qin Yi is 99 years old, she is admitted to the hospital, and her memory is much worse, but she is still dignified and elegant, and her spirit is also very good.
On June 25, 2021, she also received the gold medal of "Outstanding Member of the Communist Party of China" at the national level.
Premier Zhou Enlai once praised her: "The most beautiful woman in China." ”
Shu Xiuwen once said that she was as beautiful as a carnation blooming in a vase, and both men and women liked it when they saw it.
Yes, as a woman, Qin Yi is the most beautiful. She has experienced ups and downs, and the years have not given her preferential treatment, but she has lived a unique style in the tempering of the years.
She used her life to interpret the most remarkable responsibility of a mother and the most beautiful cultivation of a woman.
Someone said: "Since ancient times, beautiful people are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to see white heads in the world." The beauty Qin Yi suffered all her life, and finally got a great gift from fate, washed away the lead, and the white-headed Buddha smiled for the rest of his life.
