In June 1985, on the stage of the nightclub of the Regent Hotel in Hong Kong, the host announced on the spot that "the first Miss Asia champion is Miss Lai Yanshan!"
Dressed in a lilac evening dress, Li Yanshan held the trophy with tears in her eyes and thanked the audience in the audience and the audience in front of the TV.
At this moment, 21-year-old Li Yanshan became famous in one fell swoop, and also opened her legendary road in the entertainment industry.
That night, she originally planned to participate in the selection of Miss Hong Kong, but she temporarily changed her mind and signed up for the Asian sister selection held by ATV, and won the championship by an overwhelming margin.
This not only made her an instant hit, but also allowed ATV, a new TV station, to establish the strength to compete with wireless.
However, 10 years later, Lai's life has taken a huge turn.
She married the popular student Liu Yong, but suffered domestic violence for 8 years.
In 2004, she finally mustered up the courage to divorce, but what followed was a difficult time when her life fell into a low point......
Now 59-year-old Li Yanshan, how did she go through these ups and downs and regain a foothold in the entertainment industry?
1、
In June 1985, the first Asian sister selection was in full swing.
Among the many beauties, there is a little girl named Li Yanshan who is particularly eye-catching.
She has smooth black hair, fair skin on her melon seed face, delicate facial features, and a tall and slender figure, she is undoubtedly a well-deserved "champion candidate".
What's more, she is passionate about her dreams and confidently and sincerely: "I believe I will win the championship."
If it happens, I'll work harder to bring better work to the audience. ”
Sure enough, in the final round of swimsuits, Li Yanshan stood out and successfully won the championship.
And this championship not only gave her millions worth of prizes, but also made ATV take a fancy to this excellent "golden flower".
Since then, Li Yanshan has become a key newcomer to ATV.
ATV boss Qiu Degen regards her as his own daughter, spares no effort to cultivate resources, and has tailored many dramas such as "Xi Shi" and "Time Back Seventy Years" for her.
These works made Li Yanshan quickly popular and became the pillar and first-line actress of ATV.

In 1992, 28-year-old Li Yanshan met the actor Liu Yong in the filming of the movie "Genghis Khan".
The two became familiar with each other in and out of the play, and eventually developed into lovers.
Liu Yong was also a hot first-line student at that time, handsome and outstanding acting skills.
More importantly, he took good care of Li Yanshan, making her feel a long-lost sense of security.
So, Li Yanshan chose to marry Liu Yong, who was 12 years older than her.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and Liu Yong gradually showed his true face after marriage.
He did not allow Lai to take the initiative to work, asked her to stay at home, and repeatedly made machismo remarks in the media, causing controversy.
To make matters worse, he often drank too much and beat Li Yanshan for no reason, causing serious physical and mental trauma.
Li Yanshan endured the humiliation, thinking that having children could change Liu Yong, but she didn't want the domestic violence to become more and more serious.
In 2000, she finally had enough of it, applied to the court for a writ of habeas corpus, and formally filed for divorce.

In 2004, the divorce case of Li Yanshan and Liu Yong was announced.
She finally regained her freedom, but she also found herself in unprecedented predicament.
She suddenly lost her financial resources after not working for many years, and Liu Yong refused to pay any alimony.
In order to survive, Li Yanshan could only accept a friend's introduction and go to an insurance company to work part-time.
Every day she is busy visiting clients and trying to sell insurance products.
The work is hard and the income is limited, but she has to grit her teeth and persevere, and live for her two young children.
With the help of her friends, she gradually grew into an excellent insurance salesman.
However, losing her former glorious and wealthy life, she also fell into a trough of despair many times.
Only the sense of responsibility for the child supported her through those difficult years.

In 2007, years of hard work helped Lai regain her self-confidence.
She decided to return to the entertainment industry and worked as a presenter on ATV and then on cable TV.
As time passed, she gradually regained the status of hosting and was once again popular with the audience.
In 2013, Li Yanshan chose to join TVB.
With years of acting experience and an affinity that can be called "suitable for all ages", she quickly became a frequent guest actor in many TVB dramas.
From comedies to police and gangster films, from family ethics dramas to court films, Li Yanshan can play with ease and show excellent acting skills.
So far, after decades of experience in the Hong Kong drama circle, she finally ushered in the second peak of her career.
Now 59-year-old Li Yanshan, she is not only a hot "sister-level" figure among the silver-haired family, but also regained her value and dignity.
5、
Since her divorce in 2004, Lai has raised her two children on her own.
Now, her daughter has become a flight attendant, and her son is also studying in the UK, and her wish has finally been realized.
After the children became independent, Li Yanshan also regained the tranquility of life.
With her three dogs, she enjoys the quiet countryside of Hong Kong and has regular phone calls with her children to feel the power of home.
In addition to work, he occasionally takes on mainland variety shows to earn some extra income.
has experienced the ups and downs of life, and Li Yanshan is still sunny.
She hopes to take her career and life to the next level, and hopes that her story can help more women who have experienced domestic violence to come out of the shadows.
Write at the end
Li Yanshan's experience was full of ups and downs, she fell from the clouds to the bottom, and fought hard to finally regain her strength.
As the first sister of ATV in the 80s and 90s, she witnessed the overture of changes in the TV industry.
What's more valuable is that she was not defeated by fate, but faced the storms of life with the spirit of self-improvement.
Lai's story also reminds us that no matter what the external environment is, if we persist in ourselves and keep hope, we will definitely be able to overcome difficulties and create our own sky.
I believe that in the future of life, she will go more and more easily, and live a more exciting life.
