Preface
Our story begins in a cold 1966, in the bustling city of Hong Kong, where a girl named Li Lizhen was born.
The poverty of her family and the fact that she lived in a small old house did not hinder her from her future glory.
At the age of fourteen, she was discovered by a talent scout, a discovery that changed her life.
Li Lizhen studied at North Point Synergy High School in junior high school, and although her family was poor at that time, her natural beauty made her stand out. Advertisers came to her door, and she signed a brokerage company, which was her first step into the entertainment industry.
As a young woman, she made a name for herself in the advertising industry and unknowingly accumulated a lot of resources. In 1982, with her visions and fantasies for the future, she embarked on the road of acting.
At the beginning, she starred in campus dramas with a pure and lovely image, such as "Can't Stop Love" and "Happy Ghost". As time went by, she gradually changed roles and participated in the romantic drama "The Last Victory".
Li Lizhen's transformation has been a great success, winning the Golden Horse Award for "The Final Victory" and becoming a well-deserved actress.
Immediately afterwards, she partnered with Leslie Cheung and became a high-profile film and television couple.
At only 19 years old, she became popular overnight, and starring in "The Great Era" made her stand out in TVB and became a well-deserved celebrity.
However, with the climax of her career, Li Lizhen's life has changed dramatically.
In order to make more profits, the company even arranged for her to shoot restricted-level photos, which became a shadow on her career. In 1993, she starred in Fengyue's work "When the Peach is Ripe" a box office hit, but it also made her famous.
In order to cater to the market, the company forced Li Lizhen to sign a special contract, which led to her taking on a series of third-level works, which undoubtedly had a negative impact on her image. Despite this, she is still the highest-paid real star.
In 1996, Li Lizhen entered the palace of marriage, and then chose to retire from the entertainment industry. However, her marriage caused controversy in the outside world, as her husband's wishful appearance was considered incompatible with her.
After marriage, she welcomed a daughter and became a mother. However, the happy marriage did not last long, and eventually the two went their separate ways.
Li Lizhen returned to the screen again and won the Taiwan Golden Horse Award and the Best Actress Award for the movie "A Thousand Words". However, her personal life once again became the focus of public attention, with scandals with the stylist and Pan Yuanliang, and even accusations from the former's wife.
Later in her career, Li Lizhen participated in the TV series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", but it did not cause another sensation. Today, at the age of 57, she still retains her charm, looking back on her life, experiencing professional peaks and personal turmoil, showing a bumpy and rich life experience.
Perhaps, life is a drama, there are sorrows and joys, gains and losses. Li Lizhen used her life to interpret this play, which makes us admire her tenacity and persistence.
Life is like a play, drama is like life, Li Lizhen, a woman who will always leave a strong mark in the film industry, her legendary story will always inspire us to chase our dreams.
Let's look back on the gorgeous and tortuous past, feel her ups and downs, and witness how a woman rises to the wind in the complicated world and blooms her own light.
This may be the most profound lesson she left us: on the stage of life, even if there are turmoil, we must laugh at life, persevere, and dare to face difficulties.
This is Li Lizhen, a legendary woman, an existence that cannot be ignored.
