The background of the tragic actress's growth
Pan Hong grew up in an unhappy family, and her father died of illness when she was 10 years old, which brought her great mental trauma. The home that was supposed to be warm became cold and crippled after the death of his father.
After her mother remarried, she became an undesirable stepmother's daughter, suffering daily disregard and cynicism from her stepfather.
At the age of 18, Pan Hong chose to run away. She came to Chongming Island alone, where she lived a hard life, working in factories during the day and huddled alone in a modest rental house at night.
She had a hard time that year, but finally she had no family ties and gradually grew up.
One day, a film director accidentally met her in a factory and was attracted by her beautiful looks and naturally melancholy eyes. He defied the crowd and gave her a chance to play the heroine in the movie "The Slave's Daughter".
After the film was a huge success, Pan Hong became famous in one fell swoop and was admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy under the recommendation of everyone.
After years of running and hardship, Pan Hong has lost all trust in this world, and her eyes are always full of sadness. This has become her unique advantage in playing those tragic roles.
During her time at the college, she starred in a number of films known for her tragedy, and was nicknamed the "Queen of Tragedy" by her classmates.
Over the years, Pan Hong has played tragic characters, all of which are portrayals of her own fate. She played the role of a woman with a bumpy fate like a fish in water, turning her grief into tears on the screen.
Decades later, when she looked back at those movies, she realized that her life had long been hidden in the plot.
and Mi Jiashan's bumpy marriage
In 1978, at the filming site of "The Slave's Daughter", Pan Hong met Mi Jiashan, the artist of this film. Mi Jiashan is 7 years older than Pan Hong, not only mediocre in appearance, but also old-fashioned and stubborn.
But he was impressed by Pan Hong's outstanding appearance at a glance and volunteered to pursue her.
Under the stalking of Mijiashan, the two soon entered the palace of marriage. Mijiashan's family background and economic conditions are very good, which is an important reason why Pan Hong chose this man.
She longed for a stable and happy life from now on, but this blind illusion ultimately failed.
Soon after marriage, Pan Hong played the heroine in the movie "Troubled Laughter", and made a name for herself in the film industry. A contradiction between the two ensued. Mi Jiashan is a conservative man, and he demands that his wife must fulfill family responsibilities.
However, Pan Hong seized the opportunity and devoted herself to her acting career without hesitation.
"Distressed Laughter" brought great achievements to Pan Hong, but also made her fall into the whirlpool of scandals. Mi Jiashan was extremely concerned about this, and he intensified his supervision and control of Pan Hong, and even became irritable and irritable.
And Pan Hong was already immersed in the joy of success and turned a deaf ear to his dissatisfaction. The relationship between the two is in jeopardy.
Eventually, a fuse ignited the marriage. Mi Jiashan fell in love with the hostess Wang Xiaoya, who was much younger than him, and this affair was a fatal blow. In desperation, Pan Hong chose to end the marriage that had tormented her for many years.
She seemed to be taking revenge on Mi Jiashan as if she had nothing to do, but deep down she also understood that the relationship between the two had long been broken.
Pan Hong, who chose a career, has achieved happiness in self-realization, and her career and beauty have become more and more dazzling over the years. And Mi Jiashan was labeled as a negative man in the outside world, and his life was full of regrets and regrets.
10 years later, Pan Hong looked back on this marriage in her later years, and she finally calmly faced the mistakes between the two and was willing to be a woman in Mijiashan again. But it was already too late.
Wang Xiaoya's intervention and departure
Wang Xiaoya, a smart and excellent hostess, has been steadily rising in her career. She and Mi Jiashan were originally just ordinary friends, and the two occasionally cooperated and admired each other.
Until one day, Mijiashan's pursuit came suddenly.
Deep in her heart, Xiaoya is also looking forward to the arrival of this day. She accepted Mi Jiashan's confession, and the two began a secret relationship. Mi Jiashan seemed to regain his youth, rejuvenated, and he used all kinds of gentleness and thoughtfulness to please Wang Xiaoya.
At first, Pan Hong didn't know anything about it. Mi Jiashan walked around without her, and even used busy work as an excuse to go home less and less. It wasn't until one day that Mi Jiashan took the initiative to file for divorce from Pan Hong, and Pan Hong suddenly realized.
She realized that she had lost Mi Jiashan's heart, but she still had to endure this torture. So she decisively signed the divorce and chose to let go.
Mi Jiashan finally started living together with Wang Xiaoya, who was more than ten years younger than him, like a wild horse that had escaped from the reins. However, the good times did not last long, and Wang Xiaoya was not as docile and virtuous as Mi Jiashan thought.
She also has her own career and will not easily give up her pursuit for the sake of affection. Mi Jiashan was disappointed, but also understood his mistake. He was betrayed by love again and could no longer open his mouth to love.
Wang Xiaoya finally chose to leave, and she failed to give Mi Jiashan the stability he wanted. Mi Jiashan still couldn't let go of her feelings long after she left. He often thinks of the woman he met on the set of the movie, the melancholy and tenacity between her eyebrows, if he could have understood and trusted her better, would his life be different now?
Pan Hong's road to successful industry
"Troubled Laughter" won Pan Hong the queen of the movie, and also made him famous in the film industry. Since then, Pan Hong has become one of the hottest actors in China.
When she was 40 years old, she won the actress crown again with "Song of Youth".
In the following years, Pan Hong played the heroine in many well-known films such as "Home", "Our Anxious Heart" and "Three Generations of Grandchildren". Her image of a terminally ill mother and the image of a female worker enduring humiliation have touched the hearts of thousands of viewers.
Her rich life experience has made her capable of playing these vivid roles.
In the years that followed, Pan Hong continued to win one award after another. The tragic characters she interpreted with her unique melancholy temperament have built her status as the "Queen of Tragedy" in the film industry - how many times have people been moved to see her cry in pain; How many times have people been sad to see her collapse in despair.
In 1995, after the end of her 20-year acting career, 47-year-old Pan Hong announced her retirement. She has won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress 13 times, setting a record at the time.
After retiring from the film and television industry, she lived a low-key life. There are no more fireworks, Pan Hong can finally unload the burden of the "queen" and live the life she wants.
One day many years later, the aging Pan Hong sat alone on a park bench. She looked at the children who were frolicking around her, and a kind smile appeared on her face. She had hoped to have all this, but God did not let her get her wish.
She suddenly remembered the man who had changed her fate all those years ago, and whether the choice at that time was too heartless.
Looking back in his later years, he regretted it
One day 20 years after the divorce, 68-year-old Pan Hong suddenly mentioned her ex-husband Mi Jiashan in an interview. She publicly "confessed" that she once loved him deeply, and said that if she could do it all over again, she would choose to give up her career and become his woman.
These words immediately caused a sensation in the entertainment industry.
In fact, Mijiashan has not been happy all these years. Wang Xiaoya's departure was too traumatic in his heart, and he never entered any relationship after that. The outside world jokingly called him a "scumbag", which also made him suffer.
He suffered repeated setbacks in his work, and gradually retired.
And Pan Hong's successful industrial path and never-aging appearance made him even more ashamed of himself. Every time I think of this, Mi Jiashan will regret my original choice. Maybe I could have gone hand in hand with her and made a world out of this circle together.
Now, Pan Hong's confession is like a resounding slap in the face, waking up Mijiashan, who has been sleeping for many years. He was silent, but shed many tears in the middle of the night. He understood Pan Hong's intentions, but he also knew that it was too late, and they had become separated.
In fact, Pan Hong has always hidden her regret for the past. Her ambition and pride in pursuing her career made her ignore the man around her who loved her. Now that he has finally woken up, he can only express this belated heart in front of the camera.
She knows that feelings are not a profession and should not have any utilitarian benefits.
Perhaps every choice will be constantly tested in life. Pan Hong's decision to give up Mijiashan and pursue her career did not give her the inner peace she wanted in the end.
Behind the success and honor, she will still think of him who loves her deeply.
