Preface
How can we not ask ourselves what is the most precious thing in life?
Fame, fortune, or family affection?
When our careers are at their peak and our health is threatened, what choices do we make?
And a person who has gone through the wind and rain and still does not give up his dream, where does this tenacious strength come from?
In 1976, film and television newcomers emerged
In the 70s of the 20th century, China ended the turmoil brought about by the "Cultural Revolution" and began to enter reform and opening up, and all sectors of society flourished.
As an important part of the entertainment industry, the film industry has also ushered in unprecedented prosperity.
A large number of high-minded young people have poured into the industry, full of hope to shine on the screen.
Yue Hong is one of them.
In 1976, when she was still a student at the Central Academy of Drama, she made her debut on the big screen with her outstanding interpretation of the role of Guilan in the movie "Wild Mountain", which became famous in one fell swoop and began her brilliant acting career.
This beautiful girl in her early 20s was born with a talent for acting, and she is diligent and studious, constantly improving her acting skills.
The audience was attracted by her sunny and cheerful, sincere and generous screen image, and her peers were also optimistic about her unlimited potential.
Soon, Yue Hong continued to shine in the historical red-themed movie "Full of Stars".
The frank and enthusiastic and enterprising young rural teacher she played was deeply loved by the audience at the time, and also won her a higher evaluation.
Not only that, in many film and television works filmed in the following years, Yue Hong was able to create a vivid and three-dimensional screen image with a distinct personality through professionalism and rich acting skills, which made people shine.
The comments on her inside and outside the art industry are the same - this is an acting gem, and she will surely grow into an outstanding actor in the film and television industry.
Love sprouted because of the drama, and finally separated
While her career took off, Yue Hong also gained love at work.
In the early 1980s, while filming a costume historical drama about China's civil uprising, Yue Hong met director Ma Dongpo.
Director Ma is a well-known Mesozoic director in the industry, and the two found that they had similar aspirations and interests in working together, and gradually developed affection.
One day after the filming, Ma confessed his heart to Yue Hong, and Yue Hong gladly accepted it, and the two became lovers.
Soon after, they registered their marriage, and soon Yue Hong gave birth to her daughter Yue Yien, and the family of three was happy.
At that time, Yue Hong was in the rising period of her career, and she was busy with work and very busy.
Despite this, she also does her best to play the role of a good wife and mother.
Whenever her work allows, she always finds time to go home and spend time with her husband and daughter.
However, the good times did not last long, and when Yue Yien was 8 years old, the seemingly loving couple gradually disagreed in terms of lifestyle and educational philosophy.
In the end, the two decided to break up and end the marriage that lasted for 10 years.
For the two who were once in love and had a happy life, the breakup was undoubtedly a deep blow.
Especially Yue Hong, she had to take on the responsibility of raising her daughter alone at the peak of her career, while also taking care of her busy work.
Her life and psychology have suffered great impact and torture.
However, in order to love her daughter Yue Yien, and to live up to the support of her friends and fans, she chose to face it after the pain and continued to move forward bravely.
Plateau shooting tests will, and stomach cancer almost takes life
In the 80s of the 20th century, Chinese filmmakers began to use a large number of outdoor real scenes in pursuit of realism and beauty in their works.
In 1986, when Yue Hong was invited to star in a film set in the snow-capped mountains of the plateau, it posed a great challenge to the actors' physical fitness and perseverance.
On the day of the start of filming on the top of the mountain at an altitude of 5,000 meters, the crew encountered a snowstorm.
Cast and crew had to brave strong winds and haul heavy equipment through knee-deep snow.
The harsh natural environment and the heavy workload are difficult for even seasoned actors to bear.
What's more, Yue Hong, who has just undergone stomach surgery and is still recovering.
In order to complete the task, she gritted her teeth and persevered in her work despite severe headaches and difficulty breathing.
Finally, when she finished the last shot on a windy and snowy night, she fell to the ground and was rushed to the hospital by the staff.
After a month of recuperation, Yue Hong returned to filming.
However, just as she was preparing to make a comeback, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach and turned pale at a crew start-up ceremony.
The results of the emergency examination shocked everyone present - it was an advanced stage of stomach cancer that had invaded the surrounding tissues.
In order to save her life, Yue Hong underwent surgery and removed four-fifths of her stomach.
This serious health crisis almost made Yue Hong, who was still on the rise in her career and had a bright future, collapse.
In addition to fighting the disease, she is also fighting to the death against psychological panic and despair.
Because of the threat to her life, she spent countless sleepless nights in her illness.
However, when she thought of those relatives and friends who had always supported her in pursuing her dreams, and remembered her daughter's innocent smiling face, Yue Hong knew that she still had something to protect.
So she cheered up and made up her mind to overcome the disease and return to work!
Mother and daughter both entered the industry and went hand in hand
As a single mother, Yue Hong gave her daughter Yue Yi's meticulous care.
However, the work of an idol actress is already extremely busy, and she can only try to find time to intersperse with the bits and pieces of her daughter's growth.
Whenever she can't be by her side because she goes out at work, Yue Hong will blame herself.
She is always worried about her daughter's study life, and even worries that her daughter will feel left out because of this.
Yue Yien didn't think so.
She has witnessed the glory of her mother's career since she was a child, and she also knows the nature of acting work.
So she won't complain that her mother is not around.
Instead, she learned to be considerate and tolerant, becoming her mother's staunchest supporter.
When she needs help or encounters troubles, she will be honest with her mother, and Yue Hong will do everything she can to solve her daughter's problems.
In this way, the mother and daughter develop an intimate relationship that does not bind each other.
As he grew older, Yue Yien gradually developed a strong interest in acting.
This couldn't help but remind Yue Hong of her dream back then, so she strongly supported her daughter to embark on this path.
In 2000, with the help of Yue Hong, Yue Yien was successfully admitted to the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy and began to study systematically.
During this period, Yue Hong not only arranged for her daughter to observe and practice in her own filming crew, but also patiently instructed her in performance methods and taught her earnestly.
After graduating, Yue Yien quickly emerged in the film and television industry and became a new generation of Xiaohuadan.
When she bloomed with youthful vitality on the screen, Yue Hong, who was behind the scenes, was sincerely proud of her daughter.
At the same time, she also felt that Yue Yien's understanding and support for her over the years was a huge motivation for her to move forward in the ups and downs of life.
Today, Yue Hong and Yue Yien are not only like mother and daughter, but also a pair of gold medal mother-daughter partners in the film and television industry.
Every successful cooperation shows that they have the deepest mother-daughter relationship and are also the best partners in the workplace!
