A rural girl chases her dream of stardom and tries her first cry when she joins the song and dance troupe
It was a barren summer, and the hot wind swirled over the pepper trees. The drought before Pentecost this year was particularly severe, and it had not rained in Cheng's hometown for a long time.
Crops that were originally verdant withered in large swaths of the fields. The father looked at the cracked ground in the field and sighed worriedly. The drought heralds another poor harvest this year, and life in the countryside is no longer sustainable.
The smell of earth in the wind descended on the stockade one after another. At sunset, a little girl on the side of the road holds a wooden stick and hums a charming city tune while driving two hot panting goats home.
Her name is Cheng Chunlian and she is 11 years old. The bright eyes reveal a vitality that is incompatible with this desolate and barren village. She has a dream - she wants to go to the city to learn to dance, she wants to shine on the stage.
For this dream, she begged her parents three times and twice for her permission to go to the county seat to register, after all, she had to pay tuition. Finally, her parents gritted their teeth and pieced together the money and sent her to the dance studio.
The tall and exquisite city buildings and fragrant food made the young Cheng Chunlian dizzy. She gets up early every day and practices Xi basic skills greedily, and she can hear the teacher's words clearly.
While the other little girls were playing and playing, she was alone in the mirror, repeating the movements over and over again until she was accurate.
It soon paid off. The teacher took a fancy to her talent and hard work and recommended her to the song and dance troupe in the county seat. At the age of 16, she was successfully selected and became the youngest member of the group.
On the stage for the first time, looking at the black and overwhelming crowds of people under the stage, Cheng Chunlian was nervous and trembling. But soon, she conquered everyone with her trembling but loud singing voice...... Since then, a new chapter has opened in her life.
The glamorous actress played "Liu Sanjie" and became popular and gained fame and fortune
In the early eighties, smoke wafted slowly from the rooftops of the grass huts. This year's summer was particularly hot, and the latest episode of the "Liu Sanjie" TV series was playing on the radio.
The whole village is immersed in the image of Liu Sanjie in this hit drama, and even the mountain songs have become popular again.
In my impression, Cheng Chunlian also gradually substituted herself into the role of "Liu Sanjie" on the big screen. If she could, she would really like to play this brilliant character herself.
Fortunately, the goddess of fate quickly favored her. By coincidence, the leader decided to put this movie on the stage, and the crew looked at Cheng Chunlian, who was beautiful and sweet.
Determined by this opportunity, Cheng Chunlian went all out to prepare for this role. She reorganized Liu Sanjie's mental journey, figured out her demeanor and language, and tried to interpret her truest side.
Training at a fixed time every day has become the whole of her life. Just to perfectly present this well-known role in the whole country. When the lights came on, the eyes of anti-awaited attention were on her.
To everyone's great joy, Cheng Chunlian successfully showed a three-dimensional and vivid image of Liu Sanjie. The lively language and sassy dancing conquered all the audience, and people praised this little peasant girl for being born as a reproduction of Liu Sanjie.
After just a few performances, Cheng Chunlian's name spread quickly, and she was also known as "the most beautiful Third Sister Liu" and was highly sought after. With both fame and fortune, she began to enjoy the privileges that came with success.
However, behind the bright stage halo, the young Cheng Chunlian was gradually carried away by fame and fortune. She began to get in touch with the entertainment of the powerful and wealthy businessmen in the circle, and found that she could use her conditions in exchange for more money and benefits...... The girl who simply longed for the stage in the past began to drift away.
Abandoning the iron rice bowl, Shenzhen's business shows its edge
In the mid-80s, the spring breeze of reform and opening up blew all over the land of China. The small city of Shenzhen is also shining with dazzling brilliance under the construction of the Special Economic Zone, full of unlimited opportunities.
Many people flocked to the city to show off their skills. Among them is our Cheng Chunlian.
The work of the song and dance troupe is becoming less and less challenging for her, and Cheng Chunlian is eager to have a bigger stage to give full play to her value. She believes she is destined to shine.
So she resolutely left this "iron rice bowl" and came to Shenzhen, a well-known pioneer city of reform.
In this city full of opportunities, Cheng Chunlian opened a clothing store for the first time. With acting experience and popularity, she quickly made the business of the store prosperous.
She can speak well, she has attracted a large number of customers, and many people have come to see the beauty of "Liu Sanjie". Looking at the increased numbers in the accounts, Cheng Chunlian secretly rejoiced that her original choice was not wrong.
However, Cheng Chunlian soon found that the development of this small store could not meet her greater ambitions. Looking at the extravagant life of the rich businessmen and celebrities around her, her eyes gradually changed.
This store is not the stage for her to "shine" in her mind after all...... As a result, a new grind opened again, and Cheng Chunlian was eager to seize the new opportunities that fate sent her in this city full of opportunities.
Selling his body to get involved with the powerful, the oil transaction is a coincidence
After leaving the song and dance troupe, Cheng Chunlian gradually realized that if she wanted to gain a foothold in the business world, it was not enough to rely on a small shop. She needs real money, real power to be the backstage.
The business party that showed up became the main battlefield for her to seize the opportunity.
There, the field is full of successful people who come and go, show off their wealth, and make connections. After Cheng Chunlian was unwilling, she easily integrated into it and talked with different wealthy businessmen.
The charm of her gestures grabs the attention of every male guest. Subtle hints and signals circulate between the sexes, reaching some ulterior deals.
Liang Shusheng is one of them. The director of the oil supply and marketing system has been running around for many years, craving the indulgence of life. For Cheng Chunlian's eager gaze, this middle-aged man did not hesitate to take the bait.
The two soon became very close, and Cheng Chunlian also inquired about the inside story of this booming industry.
By chance, Cheng Chunlian invested in a business with Liang Shusheng and soon reaped a huge return. From then on, she understood that as long as she was witty enough, she could get greater benefits from this powerful man.
The transaction between the two people then continued to increase, and Cheng Chunlian gradually came into contact with this eye-catching oil and water industry. She used Liang Shusheng's words with ulterior motives, looking for an opportunity to show her singing voice...... How did the originally simple Liang Shusheng know that he had fallen into the puzzle of this beauty.
Oil reselling sprung up, and the windfall profit of 760,000 yuan led to a fire
Over the years of working in the oil system, Cheng Chunlian has gradually discovered the huge benefits hidden behind the industry's lucrative trades. She continued to explore more pipelines from Liang Shusheng, preparing to get a piece of the pie herself.
When the opportunity was ripe, Cheng Chunlian decided to fly solo and began to use the network in her hand to secretly start a reselling business.
At first, it was just a test of the waters, but soon Cheng Chunlian discovered that she could easily profit from the difference in the price of buying and selling oil by using different sales channels.
As she wished, she finally ushered in the opportunity to make a strong rise in the mall. So she boldly increased her weight, used various means to obtain oil indicators and licenses in batches, and made profits by buying and selling.
In just over a year, Cheng Chunlian has accumulated more than 760,000 yuan of illegal income through this black transaction. The money was so easy for her to get her hands on, Cheng Chunlian was ecstatic.
She is no longer even limited to simple reselling, and began to use her body and money to further win over the network, including company leaders, and make her career bigger and bigger.
However, this is an illegal act, and there is a hidden danger behind the huge profits. As long as you are not careful, you will set yourself on fire. Many people who try to get rich have come to this point, and eventually their future and even their lives have been lost.
The case was strange, and the task force dug deep for three days and three nights
The real-name report letter was like a time bomb, causing a storm at the moment when Cheng Chunlian seemed to be about to reach the pinnacle of business. The local government quickly intervened in the investigation and set up a task force to investigate the matter fiercely.
But this is not an easy task. Cheng Chunlian's collusion and interest transfer in the business and political circles made her form too many secret relationships, like an invisible net, firmly covering the truth.
The task force faced a lot of resistance, and everyone seemed to be deliberately concealing and destroying evidence. It was as if the whole case was covered with a layer of fog.
However, the seeds of justice eventually broke through the ground. The task force was not discouraged, and they overcame all kinds of difficulties to dig deep into the details of the case. Three days and three nights of sleepless work allowed them to finally grasp the tail of a glimmer of truth.
All kinds of evidence covered up by Cheng Chunlian also surfaced during the investigation. In this way, the truth of the whole case was gradually revealed to the world.
The tragic end of confession is a warning to the world against greed
In the face of conclusive evidence, Cheng Chunlian had to admit this series of crimes. Officials characterized the case as one of the six major economic crimes in the country at the time, and Cheng Chunlian's sentence was quite harsh.
On a gloomy morning in 1992, she was escorted to the execution ground, where she died after a gunshot.
Once upon a time, she was also a shining actress in the limelight, and people cheered for the enthusiastic and unrestrained "Liu Sanjie". And when the old appearance faded, what was waiting for her in the end was such a miserable and cold ending.
On the road of chasing fame and fortune, fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and in the end, what is attracted is the destruction of life.
Looking back on the past, maybe the girl who simply longed for the stage back then was still chasing her dreams in a corner lively. It wasn't until the dark side of fame and fortune swallowed her up that she realized that she had already stepped into the abyss from which she could never recover.
The road of life was turbulent, and until the last moment, she still did not really wake up.
But her story warns future generations not to be carried away by the desire for money; We must stick to the bottom line on the road of pursuing wealth. Only in this way can we not lose ourselves and avoid being ruined.
Cheng Chunlian's story deserves to be remembered and reflected on by everyone who chases their dreams.
