In the 90s of the 20th century, when the Hong Kong film industry was booming and hot, this Oriental Hollywood attracted countless mainland actors to seek development opportunities and realize their dreams.
Yu Li, who was 26 years old at the time, was one of them. Far from home, she came to the bustling metropolis alone, full of longing to shine in this hot land.
Who knew that at the beginning, Yu Li couldn't even reach a decent role, and she could only run tricks and fill up the numbers all day long. Once upon a time, she was also the darling of mainland film and television dramas, and the much-anticipated "Iron Fighter".
But as soon as she arrived in Hong Kong, Yu Li had to start from scratch again.
She was not discouraged, she did not regret it, she just quietly waited for the opportunity to come. Yu Li understands that in this city full of stars, it is simply a fool's dream to want smooth sailing.
Therefore, she takes the initiative to strive for any opportunity to show herself again and again, even if it is just a silent supporting role in cooperation with big names.
Gradually, Yu Li's name also has some recognition in the circle. Especially in the 1994 movie "Sword Laughter" with Andy Lau and Lin Qingxia, Yu Li finally successfully gained attention as a villain.
This gave her the confidence to continue to gain a foothold in Hong Kong and transform into a heroine.
At that time, how did Yu Li know that the trajectory of her life was about to be turned upside down because of a man.
In 1995, Yu Li met the actor Ma Jingtao while filming the martial arts film "New Bao Qingtian: The Heroes of the Bones".
Ma Jingtao has a tall and handsome physique, but unfortunately he has the notoriety of a "violent man". His ex-girlfriend once accused Ma Jingtao of getting drunk and falling with knives in his hands, and frequent domestic violence.
This made Ma Jingtao a public enemy of women, and few people believed in the sincerity of his feelings anymore.
But Yu Li just saw through the hot heart under his cold appearance. Perhaps, Yu Li also longs for someone to love her so affectionately.
In order to pursue Yu Li, Ma Jingtao mustered up the courage to take the initiative to confess to her. He vowed to quit the Xi of alcoholism and never to act violently again. Sure enough, in the days with Yu Li, Ma Jingtao restrained his emotions and was considerate and obedient to Li.
The relationship between the two warmed up in the grinding, and Yu Li finally opened her heart. Ma Jingtao even took the initiative to reject all the roles that wanted to have intimate scenes with actresses in order to reassure Yu Li.
Yu Li was moved.
However, the good times did not last long, and the two eventually had a dispute because of Yu Li's excessive interference in Ma Jingtao's acting development. Yu Li chose to break up with Ma Jingtao, and Ma Jingtao didn't mention how much he was like a knife.
So far, Ma Jingtao has gone through two marriages, but he still does not dare to forget his first love Yu Li when he was young. And whether Yu Li has regretted it in her heart, this secret is only known to herself.
After becoming famous, Yu Li is also quite unambitious in the love field.
She once had an affair with a wealthy married businessman who had always been unsympathetic to relationships, and Yu Li was just another beauty on his list of mistresses. It didn't take long for this forbidden relationship to be discovered by the wealthy merchant's main palace.
Angry, she poured all her anger on Yu Li and taught her a hard lesson.
This is not the end, the rich businessman's wife showed mercy, and Yu Li lost the ability to have children since then. After this scandal spread, Yu Li also jumped from a "famous" actress to a synonym for "the first mistress in the Hong Kong circle".
What's even worse is that a set of erotic photos taken by Yu Li when she was young also flowed out at this juncture, and immediately made headlines in major media. Those touching shots instantly made her image of a hundred times more valuable and fame and fortune fall apart.
Ordinary 9-to-5 office workers can survive these scandals, no matter how much they pay for society. But Yu Li is different, in a place like the entertainment industry that relies on her appearance to eat, her infamy is tantamount to the cruelty of the blow.
Now, Yu Li is over the age of six.
She has long since faded out of the entertainment industry and lived an unrestrained and comfortable life. In addition to the shackles of work, Yu Li maintains a regular schedule every day, regularly exercises fitness and dances, and often goes out to eat and drink with three or five friends, and lives a very fulfilling life.
Youth and beauty are gone, but the past encounters have not faded. Every time she thinks of her struggle to survive in Hong Kong, as well as those loves, hatreds, and hatreds, Yu Li still can't help but feel stunned.
She once charmed Zhang Yimou, and deeply broke Ma Jingtao's heart. However, the fleeting youth failed to exchange for the sincerity of love after all.
Now, Yu Li is over the age of six, and she still maintains the stubbornness and pride of the past. In the face of the ups and downs of life, Yu Li has no regrets, nor does she envy the loving people around her.
She enjoys the current state of life and precipitates all the ripples of the past.
Zhang Yimou once publicly said that Yu Li's costume style in "Inviting the Moon Pavilion" deeply moved him, "beautiful as a fairy".
At that time, Yu Li was a young girl, with fluttering sleeves and beautiful eyes, and she really captured the soul of the fifth director. Zhang Yimou even took the initiative to show favor to Yu Li, but in the end, he didn't do it.
After all, the disparity between the identities of the two is really huge.
Later, Yu Li and the popular student Ma Jingtao sparked a spark of love. For the sake of Yu Li, Ma Jingtao did not hesitate to give up his career, quit his bad Xi, and took good care of her.
However, Yu Li eventually left him ruthlessly. This knife directly pierced Ma Jingtao's infatuated heart.
To this day, Ma Jingtao still remembers the first love that Yu Lijian kept tidying up and messing up. He publicly said that there are only three women he loves most in his life - his mother, daughter and Yu Li.
The years are ruthless, and Yu Li's youthful elegance has also passed away with the wind. Now, she is over the age of sixteen and is still alone. The stunning beauty who poured all living beings and was proud of the Hong Kong circle finally had gray hair.
She once broke a man's heart, but now she is still alone in the face of emptiness and loneliness. We shouldn't sigh for her loneliness, because that's the life she chose.
In the 90s of the 20th century, the Hong Kong film industry was in full swing. Yu Li came to this Oriental Hollywood from the mainland with her movie dream. At first, she could only play tricks to make up for it, but Yu Li was not discouraged, and just quietly waited for the opportunity to appear.
The opportunity was not long in coming. In the 1994 movie "Sword Laughter", Yu Li successfully made a name for herself and became a high-profile actress in one fell swoop.
Immediately afterwards, she met the actor Ma Jingtao in a new movie shooting. Although Ma Jingtao has a reputation as a "domestic violence man", Yu Li still fell in love with him without hesitation.
In order to pursue Yu Li, Ma Jingtao broke many bad Xi and took good care of her.
However, the good times did not last long, and the two eventually had a conflict due to Yu Li's excessive involvement in Ma Jingtao's acting career. Yu Li chose to leave, leaving Ma Jingtao's heart like a knife.
Subsequently, Yu Li's scandals continued to be exposed, and she was almost beaten by the main palace of a married wealthy businessman to be unable to be a mother for life. This made her suddenly change from a smash hit goddess to "the first mistress in the Hong Kong circle".
Time flies, Yu Li is over the age of six, and she has completely faded out of the entertainment industry. She lives according to her own heart and is never inhibited. Even if her youth is gone, she still enjoys the time she is comfortable and happy now.
In the magnificent life, Yu Li has experienced ups and downs, and has never changed her stubborn personality. She transcends the worldly vision and lives calmly in the present.
