No children, no marriage, no love, body donation, 89-year-old Roland has become a destination?
Roland, this name may not be well known to the general public, but in a certain circle, she is a legend. She is a beautiful and rich woman who has chosen not to marry all her life and does not believe in love. So, what will she live like?
Imagine living alone in a sophisticated apartment in a bustling metropolis. Her life is full of freedom and independence, without the trivialities and ties of family. She can organize her time as she pleases and pursue what she is truly passionate about. Whether it's traveling, shopping, or partying with friends, she can enjoy it as much as she wants.
Of course, not getting married does not mean that her life is devoid of emotion. On the contrary, she has a rich social life, sharing each other's joys and sorrows with her friends. She believes in the power of friendship and believes that in this world, in addition to love, there are many things worth cherishing and pursuing.
And when it comes to the most classic and unsurpassable character in the "Condor Heroes" series, it is undoubtedly Qiu Qianqi in Louis Koo's version. The reason why this role is unforgettable is not because of her beauty or gentleness, but because of her unique image and profound acting skills.
Qiu Qianchi's appearance is very ugly, with sparse hair, poignant laughter, and sharp eyes, all of which are impressive. But it is these characteristics that make her an irreplaceable character. Whenever people mention "The Condor Heroes", they will always think of the ugly and vicious Qiu Qianqi, and think of her deep-rooted performance.
Roland and Qiu Qianqi, two seemingly unrelated characters, have a certain similarity. They are all independent and strong women who live their lives in their own way. No matter what the outside world says about them, they are firmly on their own path and pursue their own happiness.
Qiu Qianqi behind the scenes, the winner of life after removing makeup
The role of the creepy Qiu Qianqi has almost become her label, whether it is variety shows, film and television reproductions, or the COS industry, her image will be referenced. However, after removing her makeup, Roland is a big beauty, and the years don't seem to have left too many traces on her. What's even more surprising is that this 89-year-old goddess has never been married and has no children. She had already taken care of her funeral, and even signed a body donation agreement to donate her body to the University of Hong Kong for research.
Roland's life was full of drama. In 1934, she was born in a middle-class family in Hong Kong, and her original name was Lu Yanying. Her father is a lawyer, and the family runs a factory that produces dikerite, soap and other products for local hotels. Such a family background made her childhood life very prosperous. However, instead of indulging in pleasure because of this, Roland developed a keen interest in acting.
In her acting career, Roland has created countless classic roles, but the most well-known is the image of Qiu Qianchi. Her performance is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, making the audience love and hate the character at the same time. However, after removing the makeup, Roland is a gentle and lovely beauty, which is in stark contrast to the image on the screen.
Roland's love life has always been a mystery. She was never married, had no children, and was not alone. She has her own circle of friends and has spent one happy time after another with her friends. For her own funeral, she has already made arrangements and signed a body donation agreement. Such a move makes people can't help but be in awe of her, she is not only an excellent actor, but also a caring and responsible person.
A Little Movie Star in the War: Roland's Early Years
In the war-torn era, the figure of a little girl flashes on the screen, she is Roland. When she was four years old, she stepped into the world of cinema for the first time, and although there was only a brief scene and not even a single line, her innocent appearance deeply touched the hearts of the audience. From that moment on, the spotlight of the camera followed her from time to time.
However, just as Roland was enjoying the glory and favor brought by child stars, fate played a cruel joke on her. At the age of six, she was supposed to grow up happily in a fairytale world, but the haze of war gripped her homeland mercilessly. A series of blows caused Roland's life to fall from heaven to hell, first with the death of his grandmother and then with the sudden death of his father.
The death of his father not only plunged the family into great grief, but also revealed an untold secret. It turned out that he had another family outside and even an illegitimate child. This news was like a bolt from the blue, which brought a heavy blow to Roland's mother, and also made the young Roland experience betrayal and deception for the first time.
In those difficult days, Roland grew up seemingly overnight. She is no longer the little girl who can only sell cuteness in front of the camera, but has begun to bear the burden of the family with her immature shoulders. She learned to be strong and independent, and she also learned to seek hope in the face of adversity.
Wandering on the fringes of showbiz for several years, Roland's early career was not as glamorous as one might think. Without the support of the agency and the fact that she doesn't know how to please the director, she can only silently play the role of those cameras passing by. However, even such a life is enough for her and her mother to live a stable life.
Time flies, and Roland finally ushered in a turning point in his career at the age of 26. She signed a contract with Lingguang Film Company, officially stepped on her own stage, and appeared under the stage name "Roland". This name, like her future acting career, is full of tenacity and brilliance.
At that time, Roland was in the prime of her youth, her eyes were as bright as stars, and her smile was as bright as a flower. Although on the screen, she has played the roles of star, celebrity, and eldest lady many times, but she has never been able to rank among the protagonists. However, this did not discourage her, but strengthened her determination to pursue her dream on the road of acting.
In Hong Kong in the 60s, the images of gentle beauties such as Letty and Xia Meng were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Their delicate looks and beautiful voices became the aesthetic benchmark of that era. And Roland, with her unique temperament and talent, has gradually emerged in the entertainment industry. She understands that beauty is not only the beauty of the appearance, but also the tenacity and perseverance of the heart.
The "evergreen" in the TVB beauty pile
When the bell rang in 1973, TVB ushered in its glorious era and started the screen journey of many beauties. This year, there is a name that stands out from the pile of beauties, and she is Roland.
Roland, a name that is not young in the entertainment industry, ushered in a new peak in his career at the age of 37. In 1971, she signed a contract with TVB, as if jumping into a bigger pile of beauties. Because since then, TVB has obtained the exclusive broadcast rights of Miss Hong Kong, and successive Hong Kong sisters have signed contracts with TVB and become actors.
The selection of Miss Hong Kong in that era was the dream stage of countless girls, and it was also the cradle of TVB's star-making. Zhao Yazhi, Zhu Lingling...... All familiar names have gone from here to the pinnacle of the screen. And Roland, among them, has become an "evergreen" with his unique charm and acting skills.
In 1973, Zhao Yazhi only won the fourth place in Miss Hong Kong, but her acting career has been soaring. And Roland, although he does not have the blessing of Sister Hong Kong's halo, has won a place in TVB with his own efforts and talents.
TVB has the absolute right to speak to Sister Hong Kong, which everyone knows. Even Zhu Lingling, the Hong Kong sister in 1977, was pursued by the son of the Huo family after winning the championship, and she still had to sign a contract with TVB first. It can be seen that in that era, the influence of TVB was huge, which can be seen.
But Roland is different, she doesn't seem to be bound by these rules. She worked in TVB as a free person, and she was not bound by wealthy families, nor was she carried away by fame and fortune. In her own way, she interprets the independence and tenacity of an actress.
Today, when we look back on that golden age, Roland's name still shines brightly. She did not become a wealthy young grandmother, but she became an "evergreen" in the hearts of countless audiences. Her acting career is like a classic film that will never fade, which is endlessly evocative.
Roland's Life with a Thousand Faces: The Leap from Qiu Qianqi to Long Po
It is said that in 1983, a "Condor Heroes" swept the screen, and Andy Lau and Chen Yulian's Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu became the dream lovers of countless audiences. However, in this drama, there is another character that is equally eye-catching, and that is Qiu Qianqi played by Roland. Her Qiu Qianqi image is distinct and has a unique personality, although it failed to make Roland an instant hit, but it opened the door to her acting career.
Soon, Roland ushered in a turning point in his acting career. She received a very challenging role - Long Po. This role made her stand out in the entertainment industry, and also let the audience see another side of her that is different from Qiu Qianchi. Roland's image of the dragon woman is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and has even become synonymous with her.
From Qiu Qianqi to Long Po, Roland's acting career is full of challenges and opportunities. She proved her worth with her strength and hard work, and also won the love and respect of the audience. Now, when we think back on her thousand-faced life, we can't help but sigh for her persistence and courage.
Of course, Roland's acting career was not all smooth sailing. She has also experienced lows and difficulties, but she has always maintained her love and dedication to acting. It is this spirit that has made her stand tall in the entertainment industry and become a well-respected veteran actor.
Now, when we see Roland's figure again, we can't help but feel a wave of respect and emotion in our hearts. She used her acting career to interpret what is the real spirit of an actor, and also left us a number of classic works and roles.
