In 1920, the name Feng Zhe was resounding in old Shanghai. He is a talented man born in a scholarly family, and has the elegance and righteousness of a Peking University. He joined the troupe at the age of 26 and quickly became a pillar of the drama with his excellent typhoon and attitude, starring in more than 40 dramas and gradually emerging to the fore.
In 1946, Feng Zhe came to the film and television industry and became a blockbuster. He played the role of a poet who worries about the country and the people in "Remembering Jiangnan", which is as warm as jade; and transformed into a young clerk in "Smooth Sailing", full of vitality.
In the past four years, Feng Zhe has become a first-line movie star.
In 1952, 31-year-old Feng Zhe ushered in the peak of his life, he played the role of Battalion Commander Gao in "Southern Expedition and Northern War", commanding Ruoding and taking the lead, this role immediately became his landmark work, and the name "Battalion Commander Gao" became a household name.
Feng Zhe became famous all over the world for a time and became a male god in the hearts of thousands of girls.
However, the love life is not satisfactory. In 49, 29-year-old Feng Zhe married 19-year-old Sichuan opera actor Zhang Guangru. Zhang Guangru has had two failed relationships and is sensitive and suspicious.
After marriage, she had continuous miscarriages, was weak and sickly, and Feng Zhe also contracted schistosomiasis, which caused physical and mental trauma. The two drifted apart, and their marriage existed in name only. When Feng Zhe's career was booming, his feelings were cracked and difficult to repair.
In 1961, Feng Zhe, who was at the peak of his career, was fired from Shanghai Tianma Film Studio for following a young policewoman in a department store. He came to Chengdu with a heavy heart and wanted to get back together with Zhang Guangru, who had been separated for many years.
At first, Zhang Guangru still had illusions about Feng Zhe, and was even ecstatic. But when she learned the real reason why Feng Zhe was expelled, she was furious and kicked Feng Zhe out of the house.
After 5 years of separation, the relationship between the two has changed, and they can never go back to the past.
During the Cultural Revolution, the mentally traumatized Feng Zhe decided to save his relationship again, and he ran to Zhang Guangru's residence in the middle of the night to beg her for forgiveness. However, time has changed, and Zhang Guangru not only did not sympathize, but turned him away indifferently.
After a sleepless pleading, Feng Zhe finally realized that this relationship was no longer broken.
A month later, Feng Zhe was once again criticized and struggled, and Zhang Guangru ruthlessly made his various "problems" public. Feng Zhe realized that he was worthless in her heart.
This was undoubtedly a heavy blow and a turning point in the relationship between the two.
After that, Feng Zhe, who had a nervous breakdown, chose to end his life with death. And Zhang Guangru lived the second half of his life with regret, and he also regarded this relationship as an eternal regret.
The love that had no hesitation came to an end.
After experiencing the double blow of feelings, Feng Zhe has been mentally hollowed out. During the Cultural Revolution, he continued to be criticized, labeled as a "special suspect", and his life was unsustainable.
Film and television work is also difficult to shoot anymore, and the financial source is cut off, Feng Zhe has to live on the streets, drinking all day long.
Three years later, Feng Zhe, who was on the verge of collapse, was sent to a remote labor camp. There, Feng Zhe had to endure heavy physical labor and face insults from others.
The former star has become the lowest labor prisoner at this time, and he lives in dire straits every day.
The physical torture is bearable, but the mental torture is unbearable. Feng Zhe found that this world had lost any meaning to him. Even the last spiritual sustenance, Zhang Guangru, abandoned him, and he had nothing left.
One night in 1969, a desperate Feng Zhe came to a big tree at the edge of the farm. He made a simple noose out of strips of cloth, stood on the marathon, and hanged himself in the moonlight.
The next morning, his stiffened body was found, along with a note that read: "Heaven doesn't take me, people take me." That year, Feng Zhe was only 49 years old.
The news of Feng Zhe's suicide was a huge blow to Zhang Guangru. Her whole body fell into extreme self-blame, sorrow and pain, and it took a long time to slowly accept this fact.
Whenever in the dead of night, she would look at Feng Zhe's photos and cry bitterly, regretting it.
Zhang Guangru's character originally had a kind of stubbornness and fortitude. She understood how deeply she had hurt Feng Zhe, but she never had a chance to make up for it. She chose to spend the rest of her life lonely to punish herself for betraying and hurting her lover.
In 1993, 64-year-old Zhang Guangru passed away and never remarried in his life. The poem "Loyal Soul Companion" written by her before her death recorded her longing for Feng Zhe for 18 years.
Half of her ashes were buried with her parents, and half of her spiritual position remained forever in the city where they met, and she refused to be buried with Feng Zhe, as if she would be unable to forgive herself for the rest of her life.
After Zhang Guangru's death, people found a photo of Feng Zhe next to her pillow, which was already fragile. It took her life to understand how wrong her decision was. However, time cannot be turned back, and a woman who once loved each other deeply can only spend the rest of her life in regret.
In 1978, after rehabilitating Zhaoxue, Feng Zhe was posthumously recognized as one of the 100 outstanding figures in Chinese cinema in the past century. His great contribution to the Chinese film industry has finally been recognized.
However, even if his reputation is restored, it will not make up for his early death and broken marriage.
Feng Zhe and Zhang Guangru's marriage was like the plot of a movie, and finally ended in tragedy. The beautiful promise of young love can't resist the changes of the times after all.
Two souls who could have grown old together, but they were separated from life due to misunderstanding and injury.
When the month was no more, Zhang Guangru waited for his lover with a lifetime of loneliness and regret. And Feng Zhe's life came to an abrupt end at the age of 48. When true love is rare, life is not a helpless miss again and again.
Their marriage left only a land of regrets, condensed into eternal problems.
Many years later, I can still vaguely see the handsome and gentle silhouette of Feng Zhe on the pictorial. The high battalion commander who had infinite scenery in "Southern Expedition and Northern War" still shines, but he can never return to his original appearance.
Time is only the dust and tears of life, and it sings the eternal poems and regrets.
