The girl Zhong Chuhong dreamed of shining in the entertainment industry, and signed up for the first stage in her life at the age of 19 - the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant. On the night of the game, in the face of the bustling crowd and the bright lights, she couldn't help but be nervous and cold with her hands when she was weak and introverted, for fear that she would lose a rare opportunity if she was not careful.
It was the first time she showed off her style in front of the public, and her immature face caught everyone's eye. Although they failed to win the crown, the audience was impressed by the bright smile.
After the competition, Zhong Chuhong, who was only 19 years old, joined the entertainment industry as she wished, and soon served as the first heroine in the movie "Blue Water and Cold Mountain", cooperating with the popular student Liu Songren.
For Zhong Chuhong, this is undoubtedly the first step on the road to acting, but unfortunately, this debut film did not bring her higher popularity. What really made her shine on the screen was "The Story of Hu Yue" starring Chow Yun-fat later, since then she has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with her beautiful and moving image, and the two have also become a "screen couple" in the eyes of the public.
In 1988, Zhong Chuhong unfortunately fell ill and was admitted to the hospital. This should have been the moment when she needed the most comfort from her family and friends when her career was thriving, but she never expected that there would be an unexpected joy in the hospital ward - to meet this person who fell in love at first sight.
This person is Zhu Jiading, who is well-known in the advertising industry. It turned out that the two had a relationship four years ago, when Zhong Chuhong was invited to shoot an advertisement for a sporting goods brand, and Zhu Jiading served as the advertising director.
That cooperation was pleasant, and Zhu Jiading was deeply impressed by Zhong Chuhong, and he has never forgotten it for four years. After learning the news of Zhong Chuhong's hospitalization, Zhu Jiading volunteered to visit, and took care of Zhong Chuhong's daily life and diet, and wholeheartedly met all her requirements, hoping to alleviate her pain.
Such sincere and enthusiastic greetings deeply moved Zhong Chuhong. After being discharged from the hospital, the two began to date, and soon confirmed their relationship, and their busy work also made time to spend with each other.
In 1991, the two who warmed up their relationship held a wedding in a church in the United States and officially entered the palace of marriage. They have been together for 16 years, Biren said that they are "the happiest couple in Hong Kong", and Zhong Chuhong finally found a soulmate who can grow old together.
The 16-year happy life of honey oil blending did not last long, and in 2006, an unexpected bad news suddenly broke this warm scene - Zhu Jiading was diagnosed with the final stage of stomach cancer.
"It doesn't matter, I'm here. When the doctor announced that there were only a few months left to live, Zhong Chuhong held back tears to comfort him who was dying. In the following days, she turned into a running bee and worked hard to prolong Zhu Jiading's life.
She took him to major hospitals of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, looking for local first-class experts, and did not hesitate to exhaust his savings. But even so, Zhu Jiading's condition is still deteriorating day by day, and his emaciated body is only skinny and boneless.
Zhong Chuhong felt sorry for him and suffered all the hardships, but he couldn't do anything about it, and watched him weaken under the ravages of illness.
A year later, Zhu Jiading still couldn't survive, and closed his eyes forever in Zhong Chuhong's earnest advice. "You promised me to be strong and live......" was his last sentence.
The moment she witnessed the death of her beloved, Zhong Chuhong was heartbroken and cried bitterly in the funeral home. She burst into tears, retched and ached all day long, and lost a lot of weight, and her friends were distressed to see her like this.
"You're still young, maybe you can find a new comfort. In the face of their persuasion, Zhong Chuhong shook her head without hesitation, she knew that she would never fall in love with a second person again in her life.
Zhu Jiading's death brought great pain to Zhong Chuhong, she was like a soulless walking corpse all day long, and her spirit and body were severely damaged by this sudden change.
In order to fulfill his promise to Zhu Jiading to "live strongly", with the comfort of his friends, Zhong Chuhong began to use travel and photography to fill the emptiness of life.
Today, she rarely appears in public and lives a low-key and introverted life. However, when the name "Zhong Chuhong" is mentioned, most people will immediately think of her beautiful and moving smile on the screen back then.
That bright and moving smile has become one of the most classic pictures of Hong Kong movies in the memory of the older generation. Over the years, from the mouths of countless followers, she has won the reputation of "Red Dust Woman" and "Eternal White Moonlight".
Under these fames, there are countless fans' ardent expectations for her talent and charm.
In fact, Zhong Chuhong has been in the entertainment industry for many years and has never used any tricks to steal eyeballs. She doesn't rely on packaging, doesn't pretentious, never pretends to be cool and pretending to be cool, and always has the same eternal nature.
It is precisely because of her unique and sincere temperament that it touches people's heartstrings even more. Whether it is a gentle and graceful quiet girl in "Autumn Fairy Tale", or a coquettish and swaying dancer in "Across the Seas", Zhong Chuhong can integrate into the role and impress the audience with her acting skills.
Even though she has not won the crown of actress so far, every screen character she plays with her heart has become a classic.
Now she is no longer the red girl who shone on the screen back then, but the never-fading crimson in Zhu Jiading's life. She never fell in love with other men in her life, and remembered the story of the first half of her life with single-minded friendship.
In this entertainment industry where people are judged by their appearance, such unswerving true feelings are really rare. She exchanged her youth and beauty for a fleeting but memorable love, and this infatuation also made her shine dazzlingly in the eyes of everyone.
