In 1959, the Chinese film industry ushered in a new star who stood out from the crowd - Yang Likun. The dancer rose to fame in the musical song and dance film "Five Golden Flowers", lighting up the entire screen with her bright smile.
Her smile as bright as the sun and as smart as a flower captured the hearts of the audience at once.
Yang Likun is not only as quiet as a debut and as moving as a rabbit in the film, but also shows the independent and glamorous personality of a modern urban woman. The music of life she depicts with dance art sings the prelude to the self-emancipation of women in that era.
Seven years later, Yang Likun perfectly interpreted the image of a mysterious, charming and resilient Tibetan woman in the movie "Ashima". This time, she used the unique feminine temperament of oriental women to move the audience again.
Especially the scene where she dances in the film, it is charming and moving, the flow of light and shadow, and the beauty is so thrilling and indescribable.
However, the good times were short-lived. At the age of 26, Yang Likun's fire of life was suddenly extinguished, and she unfortunately passed away due to illness, which undoubtedly brought great grief and regret to the audience.
A talented new film star withered in a hurry after blooming brilliantly, becoming the eternal regret of a generation.
"After Yang Likun, there is no beauty. This sentence has become the common voice of countless fans. Yang Likun used her short life to create the legend of the goddess of the film industry, which has become a classic symbol that is difficult to replicate on the screen.
She is like a splendid rose, blooming with brilliant brilliance, but also withering suddenly after blooming. Yang Likun has become an immortal legend in the history of Chinese films.
Dong Zhizhi, who was born as a dancer, has the same temperament as Yang Likun as an oriental classical beauty. Her light posture exudes the agility and elegance of a ballet dancer, and every movement is like a swan spreading its wings and stretching its posture.
In 1980, Dong Zhizhi, who was only 20 years old, played the role of Xi Shi in the TV series "Xi Shi". She used her fresh and refined ancient costume to perfectly interpret the image of this flesh-and-blood Xi Shi - a lively woman who is both weak and stubborn, full of love and yearning for ideals.
Especially her every move, she exudes a girlish atmosphere that is smart and delicate, with bright eyes and good dancing. This is in strong contrast to the unattainable charm of the image of Xi Shi in people's impressions, giving this character a three-dimensional sense and vitality.
Dong Zhizhi used his unique dancer smart temperament to give fresh life to the classic role of Xi Shi. The audience fell in love with her, a ballet dancer-like girly flower.
But it's a pity that after "Xi Shi", Dong Zhizhi has never encountered the same outstanding work. This beautiful flower did not continue to bloom on the screen. Now she has long been hidden behind the scenes and lives a peaceful life.
We can no longer see the Dong Zhizhi who used to be in "Xi Shi", but whenever we look at her old works, the smart and flying girl's posture seems to be still in front of us, becoming an unforgettable image.
In the early 80s of the 20th century, a newcomer named Cheng Xiaoying quietly rose, and her extremely high appearance and outstanding acting skills brought a refreshing shock to the audience.
Cheng Xiaoying is like a bright new star, rising and adding bright colors to the film industry.
She first successfully created an image of a weak and stubborn, tough and caring girl in the movie "Sakura". The audience was moved and sympathetic, and Cheng Xiaoying touched people's hearts with her deep and delicate emotional expression.
Then in "Midnight", she showed the image of a mature, elegant, intelligent and capable professional woman. She uses her external beauty and inner emotional richness to create a three-dimensional modern female character, showing her strong acting strength and potential.
Cheng Xiaoying is like a rising star, dazzling. She used her unique charm to shine on the screen and became one of the most potential newcomers at that time.
The audience saw the hope of a new generation of "national color and fragrance" after Yang Likun.
However, it is a pity that when her career was in full swing, Cheng Xiaoying chose to go abroad for development, which is a pity for the audience who admires her. We don't know what kind of brilliant screen image Cheng Xiaoying will bring us if she continues to develop in China.
But looking back on the past, the dazzling beauty that Cheng Xiaoying once bloomed has become a beautiful scenery in the movies of that era. It remains forever on the canvas of history and becomes a beautiful memory for a generation.
Chen Xiaoyi, Leng Mei, Xia Jing, these three actresses in the 80s also have amazing appearances, they are all so dazzling and beautiful.
In terms of appearance, they are not lost to the popular goddess Yang Likun. Chen Xiaoyi has the graceful and feminine beauty unique to the classical oriental beauty, the cold eyebrows have the noble temperament of ice muscles and jade bones, and Xia Jing's smiling face is like the spring sun.
But sadly, none of them had the opportunity to become superstars. Chen Xiaoyi has silently played supporting roles for many years, and has never had a popular work; Leng Mei quickly retired from the background after rising to prominence in the early days; Xia Jing's good fortune had just arrived, and she was unable to continue to develop due to illness.
These three dazzling flowers came and went in a hurry, and the time they bloomed on the screen was too short to leave a deeper imprint.
But history is not virtual, and the past has become a cloud of smoke. We can only miss the ephemeral splendor they bringed. Those timeless faces have become the family of time.
They have been the icing on the cake for the movies of this era, leaving a touch of brightness.
The reason why Yang Likun can become the goddess of the film industry is that she not only has the natural beauty of appearance, but also met the two movies that changed her life and destiny at the right time - "Five Golden Flowers" and "Ashima".
It was through these two hugely successful works that Yang Likun quickly became famous, entered the audience's field of vision, and won the love of the whole people. Without these two movies tailored for her, it would be difficult for an actor with outstanding appearance and acting skills to really become popular and gain attention.
On the other hand, at the age of 26, Yang Likun unfortunately passed away due to illness, and her untimely death made people feel even more mourning and regret. The sudden loss of a bright life is often more moving, which also deepens her immortal impression in the minds of the audience.
It can be said that the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the Chosen One are legendary. Yang Likun's success is not replicable, it is a unique and beautiful legend. Therefore, although countless beautiful and moving actors have appeared later, they have not been able to really shake Yang Likun's status as a goddess in the film industry.
She has become a kind of symbol of the cinema of that era, nailed to the scroll of history, shining with a unique light. This light pierces time and infects the hearts of generations of people.
Yang Likun, a bright star, will forever decorate the starry sky of Chinese films.
