Liu Dan was born in 1972 in an ordinary family in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, China.
His father is a grassroots police officer in Luoyang City, Henan Province, and his mother is a housewife.
Liu Dan also has an older brother who is a few years older than her, named Gao Hang.
Liu Dan has a cheerful and lively personality since he was a child, and he especially likes to sing and dance. Many of her neighbors praise her as a "little sun" who brings warmth and positive energy to those around her.
At the age of 12, Liu Dan began to systematically learn Xi ballet, showing great talent. However, when Liu Dan was 15 years old, her life trajectory took a major turn.
That year, Liu Dan joined the Chinese People's Liberation Army Literary and Art Corps and officially became a literary and artistic soldier.
During the three years of living in the army, Liu Dan gradually clarified his life goals and career direction. She found that she really enjoyed listening to other people's stories and longed to be a good storyteller.
So, she was determined to become an excellent film and television actress. In order to realize his dream, Liu Dan resolutely decided to retire and apply for the performance department of the Central Academy of Drama.
Finally, after the third audition, she got her wish. In the class of Chinese opera, Liu Dan also became friends with his classmate Li Yapeng.
After Liu Dan successfully enrolled in Chinese opera, he performed well. With her deep facial features and tall appearance, she got the opportunity to play a supporting role in the TV series "Torch Village" in the second semester of her second year.
This is the first step in Liu Dan's acting career. Although it is only a small role, Liu Dan is extremely dedicated and devotes himself to the performance of every shot.
After "Torch Village", Liu Dan successively played supporting roles in many film and television works such as "Niu Zihou and Fu Liancheng" and "Sun Woman". At first, it was difficult for the director and the audience to associate this newcomer with the character, but Liu Dan's excellent acting skills and patience slowly moved everyone.
In order to live up to every opportunity, Liu Dan insisted on keeping a low profile and working hard, often soaking in the library to study the script. Even if she doesn't play, she rarely socializes, preferring to study quietly alone, so few people see her wearing makeup.
In this way, in just a few years, Liu Dan has starred in more than 10 film and television works and accumulated rich acting skills.
In 1999, after experiencing the tempering of many works, 27-year-old Liu Dan ushered in the highlight moment of his life. Director Li Yanzi is preparing to shoot the sequel to the first "Huanzhu Gege", and the crew is openly recruiting candidates for the second heroine "Xiangfei".
The classic line "Slut is hypocrisy" that is still fresh in the memory of many post-90s generations comes from the mouth of this character.
Faced with the competition of many actresses, Liu Dan stood out with her excellent acting skills, and finally succeeded in getting the opportunity to play this important role. In the filming in full swing, Liu Dan was fully invested and established a deep relationship with Wang Likun, the actor of "Qing'er", and Zhao Wei, the actor of "Ziwei".
At the same time, in real life, Liu Dan and Zhu Hongjia, the actor of the actor "Xiao Jian", also fell in love for a long time, and the two fell in love.
After the second part of "Huanzhu Gege" premiered in July of that year, it received an unprecedented response, which not only refreshed the historical record of Chinese TV drama ratings, but also set off a hit climax in many Southeast Asian countries, known as "the Taiwan road of Chinese dramas".
And Liu Dan's excellent acting skills also made the role of "Xiangfei" deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and for a time, countless boys and girls regarded "slut is hypocrisy" as a personality signature. While having a bumper harvest in career and love, Liu Dan also became an instant hit and became a well-known first-line actress.
However, the good times were short-lived. On that day in January 2000, 27-year-old Liu Dan finished a day's work and prepared to go to Shantou with Zhu Hongjia and another actor, Lu Shiyu, to participate in a commercial performance.
was originally an ordinary day, but because of the will of God, it became the last day of Liu Dan's life.
Late that night, Liu Dan sat in the back seat of the car driven by Zhu Hongjia and Lu Shiyu to rest. The vehicle was driving on the highway from Shenzhen to Shantou, and the night was getting thicker and the road condition was good.
No one could have imagined that there would be complications along the way. As we approached the vicinity of the airport overpass, a lightless pickup truck suddenly appeared in front of the vehicle.
The incident happened suddenly, and all three people in the car were not wearing seat belts. Zhu Hongjia and Lu Shiyu were slightly injured due to the airbags in the cab. Liu Dan, who was resting in the back seat of the car, was thrown out of the car and fell heavily on the edge of the road.
Liu Dan's sudden death in a car accident was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for her family. Especially the elderly parents, they are even more painful and grief-stricken. Originally, they were looking forward to their daughter's career to the next level and start a family as soon as possible, but they did not expect to lose their only daughter overnight.
In the face of great grief, Liu Dan's father chose to continue working and fill the emptiness in his heart with his career. However, just half a year later, this silently dedicated grassroots policeman unfortunately died in the line of duty.
The sad news of the death of both parents aggravated Liu's mother's depression, and she cried bitterly all day long, refusing to contact the outside world, which made her brother Gao Hang extremely worried. A family of four who should have been happy and happy, now only the sad mother and son are left.
More than a month later, Gao Hang suddenly fell ill while working in the outer city, and died at the age of 35. Liu's mother, who lost her husband and two children in an instant, completely collapsed and could no longer get rid of the shadow of trauma.
Now, more than 20 years later, the poor mother has not been able to get out of her grief and continues to struggle in pain. The Liu family was once a happy family of four, but now only the regretful old mother is left alone to spend more than a few years.
Now, 20 years later, Liu Dan, who once became popular all over the country because of "Huanzhu Gege", has long become history. The "Xiangfei" in the memories of countless post-80s generations will always stay in that bright summer, that 27-year-old.
Although her short life has come to an end, for her family, fans and the actors she worked with back then, Liu Dan will always live in their memories.
People who love her will often think of her voice, smile, and wonderful acting skills on the road. "Slut is hypocritical" lines such as "Slut is hypocritical" will always highlight her short-lived life.
And her mother may have long regarded Liu Dan as the spiritual sustenance of eternal life, in order to alleviate the huge grief in her heart.
We all hope that in heaven, Concubine Liu Dan can be reunited with her father and brother forever. And her mother, who is aging alone, can gradually come out of the shadow of sadness and live a simple and warm rest of her life.
As for Zhu Hongjia, who performed as a partner back then, he publicly denied his relationship with Liu Dan many years later. We suspect that he may have buried this lost youthful love deep in his heart.
Because I really loved, I hope she is well.
