Preamble:
What kind of woman is she? Can make a man crazy for 5 years, but can also decisively choose divorce
What kind of woman can get such a contradictory evaluation?
She is Shi Yihong.
Recently, with the popularity of the movie "Flowers" on the online platform, the 52-year-old Peking Opera "Da Qingyi" once again appeared on the hot search on Weibo and became the topic of "52-year-old beauty hot search".
For a time, all kinds of things about Shi Yihong once again entered the public eye.
She was the only woman Li Chengru liked in his life, which made Li Chengru crazy for 5 years, and she also decisively chose to divorce and pursue her spiritual freedom......
So, what kind of woman is Shi Yihong, and what ups and downs has she experienced in her life? Let's take a look at it from the beginning.
Cultivated by his grandmother, he won the highest opera award in China at the age of 22
In 1982, the Shanghai Theater Academy released the enrollment news, and Shi Yihong applied for the Peking Opera major of the theater.
Shi Yihong is a native of Shanghai, and her parents were busy with work, so she was sent to live with her grandmother, a Peking Opera fan, when she was a child.
Under the influence of his grandmother, Shi Yihong developed a strong interest in Peking Opera at an early age.
When her grandmother saw that she liked it, she sent her to learn Peking Opera, which laid a solid foundation for her.
Therefore, when Shi Yihong saw the news of the enrollment of the drama school, she quickly signed up.
In the end, it stood out among more than 1,000 applicants and was successfully selected.
Soon after entering the school, Shi Yihong was appreciated by the Peking Opera master Zhang Meijuan and was accepted as a disciple by Zhang Meijuan.
Zhang Meijuan not only has an extraordinary status in the opera industry, but also performed on the same stage with Mei Lanfang, and is known as "China's first female martial artist".
Under the guidance of such a famous teacher, Shi Yihong's Peking Opera attainments improved rapidly, and he soon became a star student in the school.
The students were impressed by her solid basic skills and love for the art of opera, and they all asked her for experience.
When competing for roles with everyone, the mentor always prefers her - because no one can compare to her style and figure.
However, Shi Yihong is not proud, every time she is selected to play the leading role, she will still humbly ask other classmates for their views on acting and further improve herself.
This makes her not only have good acting skills in the drama theater, but also win popularity, which can be described as a public lover.
In 1982, Shi Yihong was admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy
In 1986, when Shi Yihong was still in college, he won the second prize in the opera martial arts TV competition held in Shanghai with "Blocking the Horse".
In this socially oriented competition, many of the contestants are old people who have been in the opera industry for many years.
In the face of such an opponent, the 20-year-old Shi Yihong is not afraid, she only focuses on showing her best side.
In the performance of "Blocking the Horse", Shi Yihong portrayed the character's personality just right, and integrated his own understanding and style.
Her selfless devotion infected everyone and made the audience burst into warm applause.
In the end, the judges unanimously agreed that this was the most outstanding performance in the whole competition, and it was well deserved for a college student who had not yet graduated to win the second prize.
The success of this competition made the Shanghai Peking Opera Company favor Shi Yihong.
In the subsequent graduation assignment, the Shanghai Peking Opera Company did not hesitate to throw an olive branch to Shi Yihong, hoping that this late-blooming girl could join the stage of their theater.
Shi Yihong already had a soft spot for Shanghai, so he gladly accepted the invitation.
In 1988, Shi Yihong, who was only 22 years old, won the highest award for Chinese opera, the Plum Blossom Award, and began the most glorious period of his life.
Many senior experts in the opera industry are full of praise for her, believing that to receive this honor at this age, Shi Yihong's opera talent can be seen, and the future is limitless.
In 1996, he went north for further study and met him who was 18 years older than him
When her career was booming, Shi Yihong was not in a hurry to go out to perform commercially to make money, but chose to return to school to continue her studies - she was eager to make a greater breakthrough in the art of opera.
In 1996, Shi Yihong pressed the "pause button" of his career and came to the graduate class of the China Peking Opera Company in Beijing to study Xi.
It was here that she met Li Chengru.
Li Chengru was born in a poor family in Beijing, 18 years older than Shi Yihong.
After he failed to apply for the drama school at the age of 12, he began to learn Peking Opera with Dong Xingji, and later entered the film academy for further study and entered the entertainment industry.
After years of hard work, Li Chengru finally broke out in the film and television industry, and became a popular actor with his strength.
By chance, Li Chengru saw Shi Yihong's performance in the theater garden, and fell in love at first sight.
He was deeply impressed by Shi Yihong's gentle and dignified temperament, and he couldn't take his eyes off the whole scene.
When he went home that day, Li Chengru never forgot the woman Shi Yihong.
He prints out her photo and sticks it on the wall to enjoy every day.
Friends laughed at him for being "poisoned by youth", and a big man was infatuated with a woman he saw for the first time.
Since then, Li Chengru has launched a crazy pursuit, vowing to subdue this goddess of the opera industry.
After 5 years of sincerity offensive, he finally reaped his sweetheart
In the face of Li Chengru's pursuit, Shi Yihong was not moved by his conditions - Li Chengru was not only 18 years older than her, but also a person who had a failed marriage.
Li Chengru is also aware of his disadvantages, so he chose to use time and sincerity to impress Shi Yihong.
In the next 5 years, whenever Shi Yihong performed, Li Chengru would definitely appear in the front row.
He watched with relish, as if it were the most beautiful picture in the world.
After that, I had to ask Shi Yihong about his feelings in detail and analyze the artistic conception of each detail.
In addition to on-site support, Li Chengru will often ask Shi Yihong out for dinner.
He chose the most upscale restaurant and ordered the most exquisite dishes, hoping to satisfy Shi Yihong's stomach and heart.
Greetings and messages of concern are also indispensable every day, and Shi Yihong receives "Li Chengru" in the folder almost more often than her relatives.
This kind of thoughtful care gradually touched Shi Yihong's heart.
All kinds of "chasing girlfriend" kung fu, Li Chengru did not fall behind.
His enthusiasm and sincerity finally blossomed after 5 years and successfully harvested Shi Yihong's heart.
In 2001, Li Chengru's five-year offensive finally succeeded in touching Shi Yihong's heart, and the two entered the palace of marriage.
Even at that time, the people around Shi Yihong were not optimistic about the 18-year-old age difference.
Contradictions accumulated, and she chose to divorce because she was reluctant to dream of art
But the good times didn't last long.
Shi Yihong's career in Shanghai is becoming more and more prosperous, living in Shanghai for a long time, while Li Chengru works most of his work in Beijing.
Li Chengru persuaded Shi Yihong to go to Beijing for development several times, but the other party refused.
The most important thing in Shi Yihong's heart is still the pursuit of the art of opera, and she is unwilling to give up the network resources and stage opportunities she has accumulated in Shanghai for many years.
Li Chengru also once persuaded her that she could go to Beijing to develop her career, and with her own support, she could continue to adhere to her opera dream.
But Shi Yihong was unmoved, she thought that her relationship and career could not be both.
The two quarreled over this matter, and gradually became cold.
Li Chengru was angry and filed for divorce from Shi Yihong.
He thought that he could do anything for Shi Yihong, but he didn't expect that the other party could easily give up their marriage for the so-called "artistic dream".
Shi Yihong was heartbroken, but after all, he chose to let go.
In 2007, just 6 years of married life came to an abrupt end.
They were once known as a model couple, but in the end they could not escape the common "long-distance" test of couples, but because of the persistence of their respective careers, the two hearts gradually drifted apart and gradually lost their intersection.
He has been alone for more than ten years, and has never given up the pursuit of art
After divorcing Li Chengru, Shi Yihong devoted himself to his artistic career.
The theatrical works she participated in were finalized one by one, and invitations to dramas and movies also came one after another.
She was not hit by emotional failure at all, and she bloomed with unprecedented brilliance on the stage.
Over the years, she has starred in many dramas such as "Jade Fly Silhouette", "The Story of the Purple Hairpin", "Mu Guiying in Charge", etc., showing her attainments in drama performance.
At the same time, he also participated in the performance of several Peking Opera repertoire, giving full play to his Peking Opera acting skills accumulated over the years.
Not only that, as she grows older, Shi Yihong's elegant and intellectual temperament is valued by film directors, and she is invited to participate in more and more films.
In the movie "Shake, Shake, Shake to Grandma's Bridge", Shi Yihong played an elegant lady, showing the charm of a mature woman in her gestures, and received rave reviews.
It can be seen that in the past ten years, Shi Yihong has not only had a booming career, but also made great progress and improvement in his acting skills, and he is completely at the peak of his life.
The only thing that has not changed is that from being admitted to the drama school at the age of 18 to starring in dramas and movies at the age of 52, Shi Yihong has never given up or compromised his love and pursuit of opera stage art.
It is precisely this insistence on art that has led her to where she is today, and it has also given her the sharpness and confidence that radiates from the inside out.
This temperament is perfectly displayed in her recent cameo in the movie "Flowers" - even if it is only a few seconds of footage, Shi Yihong's dignified and atmospheric charm still makes everyone's eyes shine.
This also directly led to her becoming a hot search topic on the Internet again, and she was named "52-year-old beauty hot search".
She is a woman who is hard to define.
can make a man pay for 5 years of youth and stalking, and he can also choose to move forward alone after the relationship is broken;
can win the highest domestic opera award at the age of 22, and can also be on the hot search at the age of 52 with his beauty and temperament;
She is Shi Yihong - a woman who can sacrifice everything for the sake of dramatic art.
Maybe many people can't understand her choice, but she still goes her own way;
She may not be able to taste happiness on the road of affection, but her spiritual world is richer than anyone else;
There are no rules, no framework, and there are very few people who understand her, but all those who know her will be impressed by her confidence and calmness that exudes from the inside out.
This is Shi Yihong, a unique woman.
Epilogue:
Shi Yihong's life is a brilliant stroke on the drama stage.
She dedicates all her true love to art, but she also misses the sweetness because of it.
But she has no regrets.
The dazzling aura on stage, as well as her love for the art of opera, are enough to compensate for the romance she missed.
Few people can understand Shi Yihong, but everyone who knows her will be impressed by her martyrdom-like artistic persistence.
Just like Li Chengru, even if the result is not satisfactory, his admiration for Shi Yihong has never diminished by half a point.
Shi Yihong is not perfect, but she has lived a wonderful life that most people can't achieve.
This is Shi Yihong, a real and extremely attractive woman.
