Preface
Huang Wanqiu, the actor of the popular "Liu Sanjie", passed away in March last year, regretting that she left the world and left the film career that accompanied her for life.
In less than a year since the death of "Liu Sanjie", her husband He Youcai, who has been by her side and never abandoned, has made a choice that has brought tears to the eyes of countless fans and friends.
So for what reason did "Third Sister Liu" Huang Wanqiu pass away? What choice did her husband make at the critical moment?
1. "Liu Sanjie" was born out of thin air
Huang Wanqiu was born in 1943 in an ordinary family in Yongfu County, Guilin.
Although she was born in Guilin, Guangxi, she is an out-and-out Han girl.
Her father was a salesperson in a department store, and although he had an ordinary job, he liked to sing very much, and he would always hum a few words from time to time on weekdays.
As a result, Huang Wanqiu has been under the influence of her father since she was a child, and she has subtly developed a love for singing and performance.
Huang Wanqiu is the fourth child in the family, and the neighbors always affectionately call her "fourth sister".
As a child, she spent her days playing with her peers.
She likes to play the role of a princess, singing a few words from time to time, and is a "little talent" and "little star" in everyone's eyes.
Later, on the recommendation of her aunt, Huang Wanqiu began to learn art from Xiao Jinfeng, the predecessor of Guiju Danjiao.
Although she was still young at the time, this experience had a profound impact on her.
Her theatrical career began quietly.
After going to elementary school, with her excellent acting ability, she became the backbone of literature and art in the class.
On behalf of the school, she has participated in singing competitions in the city many times, and has achieved good results, and everyone calls her the "little lark" of singing.
When she was thirteen years old, it happened that the Guiqu Art Troupe was recruiting students.
When she read the news in the newspaper, she was thrilled.
So, she discussed with her family and wanted to participate in the enrollment of the Gui Opera Troupe.
In this way, she boarded the admissions examination room.
Although she was only thirteen years old at the time, she was not timid at all when she stood on the stage, and she performed generously and danced well.
After the performance, the leaders of the Gui Opera Troupe were very satisfied with the excellent performance of this little girl.
Even though her cultural class grades did not meet the standard at that time, in view of her enthusiasm and yearning for Guiqu performance, after discussion by the leaders, she was finally admitted.
Since then, her life has quietly begun to change.
In the Guiju Art Troupe, she has grown rapidly in more than a year.
At the age of fourteen, she made her debut in her life.
For this reason, she made up an hour in advance, and waited in the background early, unable to hide the excitement and excitement in her heart.
Su Daji in the Guiju opera "Cutting the Three Demons" played by her was praised by countless audiences as soon as she was performed.
Since then, she has transformed into a "pillar" in the regiment.
并陆续出演了《醉打金枝》、《西厢记》、《水淹金山》等剧目。
became a rising star in the troupe at that time.
In 1959, Su Li, the director of Changchun Film Studio, went deep into Liu Sanjie's hometown of Guangxi for an 8-month collection life.
Directed by Suri
After collecting and sorting out from various parties, he finally cooperated with Qiao Yu, a local writer in Guangxi, to complete the first draft of "Liu Sanjie" with more than 300,000 words.
The birth of "Liu Sanjie" has been highly valued by local leaders in Guangxi.
After that, the literary and artistic troupes in various places received notices from their superiors and devoted themselves to the creation and arrangement of "Liu Sanjie".
This wind also blew into Huang Wanqiu's troupe.
The local people in Guangxi have long been familiar with the story of Liu Sanjie, and Huang Wanqiu has been familiar with it since she was a child.
This time I have the opportunity to participate in "Liu Sanjie", which is a rare opportunity for her.
However, when the team assigned roles, because of her young age, she was only assigned a small supporting role.
Although she was only assigned a small role, she did not lose heart, but took the role seriously and actively participated in the rehearsals afterwards.
It was precisely because of her good performance in the color drama "Liu Sanjie" that she later had the opportunity to star in the movie "Liu Sanjie".
It's just that what many people don't know is that when the movie "Liu Sanjie" was originally casting, the candidate for "Liu Sanjie" was not Huang Wanqiu, and there is an unknown story hidden behind this.
2. The movie "Liu Sanjie" is preparing to start filming
Around 1960, various forms of "Liu Sanjie" bloomed in the land of China.
This has received great attention from Changchun Film Studio, and after many investigations, the film studio finally decided to prepare for the filming of the film version of "Liu Sanjie".
For this reason, they specially invited Suri as a director to preside over the planning and filming work.
At that time, who would play "Liu Sanjie" became the first problem to be solved.
At first, the crew wanted to find an actor who was more familiar to the audience, but considering that Liu Sanjie was a local signboard in Guangxi.
Therefore, in the end, it was decided that it was most appropriate for Guangxi locals to play the role.
After that, the crew went to Guangxi non-stop and started the casting work.
This gave Huang Wanqiu, who was in the Guiqu Art Troupe, a chance to interview.
Her fresh, simple, beautiful and natural image left a deep impression on the crew.
But because of her lack of experience in movie performance, she only won the role of "Zhou Mei" in the play.
And the protagonist "Liu Sanjie" was won by the star actor of the Guangxi Song and Dance Troupe, Fu Jinhua.
Fu Jinhua
Fu Jinhua is a native of Guangxi, and she is a star artist of Miao color performances.
He became famous early at a young age, and has a high reputation in art troupes across the country.
Her performance is mature and sophisticated, and it is very suitable to choose her to play "Liu Sanjie".
However, unexpectedly, just when "Liu Sanjie" entered the final stage of preparation for filming, the filmmaker suddenly made a request.
It was this request that changed the fate of Fu Jinhua and Huang Wanqiu.
When the movie was about to start filming, the producer suddenly said that when Fu Jinhua was singing, his mouth shape was not good enough in the camera.
For image reasons, they insisted on recasting.
Hearing this news, the leading actor Fu Jinhua was deeply shocked, and the director Su Li was also in a dilemma.
But with the producer's repeated insistence, in the end, the director made a difficult decision.
Let Huang Wanqiu, who is only 18 years old, replace Fu Jinhua and play the key role of Liu Sanjie.
This decision undoubtedly became an important turning point in Huang Wanqiu's life at that time.
Although Fu Jinhua lost the opportunity to participate, she got the dubbing of "Liu Sanjie" with her good singing skills, and finally appeared in the movie in another form.
In addition to Liu Sanjie's voice in the film, the well-known "Mountain Song is Like Spring River Water" is also sung by Fu Jinhua, but many viewers don't know it.
The sudden change of roles is both an opportunity and a challenge for Huang Wanqiu.
She was only 18 years old at the time, and she didn't have any experience in film acting.
Xi to stage performances, she seems difficult to adapt to when facing the camera.
Coupled with her lack of experience, she is timid and very restrained in her performance.
When interpreting the complex character of "Liu Sanjie", the performance is very cramped.
Suri, a director with a wealth of shooting experience, quickly saw the problem.
But he didn't put too much pressure on the little girl, but patiently guided her and taught her how to quickly grasp the role.
Huang Wanqiu and Su Li
At that time, it was a scorching summer in Guangxi, and the entire crew endured a high temperature of nearly 40 degrees every day and worked at high intensity.
The performance encountered a bottleneck, and Huang Wanqiu accidentally burned her leg during another shooting.
This made her even more anxious, and in order not to delay the progress of the crew's work, she only had a day off and hurried to work.
She is well aware of the challenges she faces, and with a strong personality, she is not defeated by difficulties, but maintains a positive and optimistic attitude and humbly asks director Su Li for advice.
carefully observed the character information conveyed by the director, and constantly rehearsed it repeatedly in her own mind, and after her unremitting efforts, she finally found a breakthrough and quickly adapted to the role.
According to her later recollections, she said that at that time, director Su Li told her that the reason why she was selected was because she liked her simplicity and unrestrained atmosphere.
This made her let go of her nervousness and began to play boldly, but she was praised by the director again and again, and her performance began to get better.
Her own aura makes the character of Liu Sanjie more full and concrete.
Director Su Li didn't see the wrong person, and the two also formed a deep friendship through this movie.
3. Fate is changeable
In 1961, the movie "Liu Sanjie" was released in the mainland, and it became popular all over the country as soon as it was broadcast, causing a scene of thousands of empty alleys.
Suddenly, "Liu Sanjie" played by Huang Wanqiu has become a business card of the Guangxi Zhuang people.
She also became a goddess in the hearts of countless young men and women.
After the explosion, fate played a huge joke on her.
Not long after the success of the movie, it was characterized as a "problem film" because of the changing times.
"Liu Sanjie" was reduced to a negative image for a while, and Huang Wanqiu, as the heroine of the movie, was the first to be implicated.
She fell from the spotlight to the bottom in an instant.
For more than ten years, Huang Wanqiu wanted to give up many times.
In the most difficult moment, her husband He Youcai, who was 6 years younger than her, gave her support and became a haven for her painful times.
Although they are all film actors, He Youcai's fame is not as good as that of his wife Huang Wanqiu.
But he is willing to be the man behind his wife and accompany his wife from beginning to end.
In the days when the two were together, He Youcai took care of and took care of everything for his wife.
He is his wife's assistant and driver, and in Huang Wanqiu's most difficult ten years, he served as the "Brother Niu" who protected her.
It is precisely with her husband's unwavering companionship that Huang Wanqiu once again stood on the stage of her life.
In 1978, the ban on the movie "Liu Sanjie" was lifted.
She finally ushered in the second spring of her life.
Although she was 34 years old at the time, her figure was a little out of shape.
But when she returned to the stage, she still has the same style, not inferior to that year.
After she returned to the stage, her husband He Youcai was still patiently by her side.
In addition to tidying up the house, she often takes her children to visit her crew.
With his silent support, his wife's career reached a peak.
After twenty years of ups and downs, the relationship between the two has long been needless to say, which cannot be measured with money.
Fourth, a tearful decision
In March 2023, actor Huang Wanqiu unfortunately passed away.
Husband He Youcai's heart was like a knife for a while, and over the years, his wife has become an important spiritual pillar for him.
Nowadays, I can only sit alone in front of the window, looking at the old photos on the wall, and thinking softly.
He Youcai knows that only with practical actions can his wife's spiritual legacy be passed on.
Therefore, he decided to rearrange his wife's diaries and letters and compile them into books for publication.
He also plans to take the children of his family back to the place where his wife once been, and tell them the story of how the two met and got to know each other.
For him, although his wife has passed away, he will do his best to commemorate everything about his wife, so as to replace his wife, pass on the spirit of "Liu Sanjie", and bury these memories in his heart forever.
