In the summer of 1932, a little girl named Li Fen was born in an ordinary family in Shanghai. She was born with a good appearance, delicate facial features, white and tender skin, especially a pair of talking apricot eyes, watery and full of spring waves, which makes people's hearts ripple.
Li Fen has an introverted and supple personality, and she does not take off the appearance of a small jasper family bit by bit of growth. The aunt in the neighborhood often looks at her delicate little face and sighs that she must be a great beauty when she grows up.
Li Fen has excelled in her studies since she was a child, and after entering middle school, she concentrated on studying vocal music and dance. In her spare time, she also likes to practice various expressions in front of Xi mirror, her eyes are like silk for a while, and her eyebrows are tactful for a while, vividly showing the girl's coquettishness.
When he was 18 years old, Li Fen followed his teacher to visit a film company, and was accidentally caught by his agent, so Li Fen easily stepped into the showbiz and took a stage name full of literature and art "Li Meng".
On a hot summer day in 1950, Li Fen, who was only 18 years old, followed her teacher to a film company, ready to see the star-studded stars up close. Who knew that director Huang Zuolin fell in love with Li Fen's unique temperament at a glance, and immediately decided to let her replace the actress who had something to do temporarily in the new play.
Li Fen was a little puzzled and timid at first, but with the encouragement of the staff, she quickly regained her confidence and successfully completed the audition under the guidance of the director. Li Fen couldn't sleep that night, and she waited for the result with hope and apprehension.
Early the next morning, Li Fen received a notice to star, which started her new journey on the screen. Since then, Li Fen has officially entered the industry and taken the well-known stage name "Li Meng".
In the filming of the first movie "Sisters and Sisters Stand Up", newcomer Li Meng successfully created a three-dimensional rural girl character with her outstanding appearance and keen acting talent, and made a name for herself in the film industry in one fell swoop.
In 1953, Li Meng joined the Shanghai Film Studio Actors Troupe, and originally seemed to have a great chance to hit the throne of the leading Hua Dan. However, it was at this time that the film industry suddenly decided to carry out reforms, which led to a rapid change in the environment and aesthetics.
Actresses with outstanding appearance conditions such as Li Meng gradually lost their room to play, and she did not receive a new script for a long time. Li Meng couldn't help but be a little frustrated, but she was still determined to continue to persevere.
In 1955, an actor named Yin Zhiming confessed to Li Meng, and the two soon entered the palace of marriage. For the sake of her family, Li Meng had to temporarily leave Shanghai and follow her husband to Changchun for development.
When she first arrived in a different place, Li Meng was inevitably a little hesitant, but she quickly integrated into the new environment with her strength and charm. In 1956, during the filming of the movie "Ma Lanhua Blooms", Li Meng finally ushered in his transformation opportunity again.
Through this outstanding performance, she successfully opened the situation and came out of nowhere, once again getting everyone's attention in focus.
In the 50s of the 20th century, when Li Meng's career was in full swing. The 1958 movie "The Party's Daughter" gave her the opportunity to transform. Faced with the big challenge of playing a female underground party member with a sharp personality, Li Meng resolutely stayed up all night to study and consult the acting experience of senior actors.
Finally, on the first day of filming, she completely abandoned her previous feminine drama and devoted herself to this female revolutionary who was determined to die with a strong party spirit. Li Meng is dressed in minimalist gray costumes, with a restrained expression, and under the guidance of the director, she carefully shapes the inner contradictions and struggles of the characters, and successfully presents a three-dimensional and vivid character on the screen.
In Li Meng's last movie "Thousands of Rivers, Thousands of Mountains" in 1959, she played a female Red Army. In order to make the military temperament of this character more realistic, she once again devoted herself to hard study, and finally reaped a satisfactory performance, which also became the best end to her short but brilliant film career.
Li Meng, she is a legend, an unforgettable name.
Heaven blessed her with unparalleled talent and beauty, which should have paved the way for her to the top. However, Li Meng chose a low-key and introverted life, she did not make any publicity, did not force output, and still warmed every set with her unique and beautiful smile.
At that time, Li Meng was in her best youth, she could have been as keen on chasing fame and fortune as other female stars, but Li Meng had a different temperament, calm and open, pure and flexible, just like her eyes like autumn water, a pool of spring water has no impurities.
In just a few years of legendary film career, Li Meng has sprinkled brilliant colors in that era. Now she is vaguely visible on the screen, and those classic roles are still vivid.
Li Meng has become an eternal scenery of old Shanghai, belonging to the rich imprint of that era. This is Li Meng, the bright star, engraved in the long river of time.
