I first met Zheng Peipei because of Mrs. Hua in "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance".
She is strong in martial arts, but she is crazy and very funny.
Because when she played this role, Zheng Peipei was already in her forties.
So in my impression, she seems to have always been a middle-aged and elderly image.
It wasn't until some time ago that I brushed up on a set of photos of her when she was young, and I realized that she used to be so beautiful.
It's a pity that the love road of beauties is mostly bumpy.
Zheng Peipei is no exception.
She once had 8 pregnancies and 4 miscarriages for love, just to give birth to a son to her husband.
But in the end, he was disgusted and not gentle enough, so he chose to divorce at the age of 42 and leave the house.
Fortunately, many years have passed, Zheng Peipei has already let go of the past and has a new life.
- 01 -
Zheng Peipei was born in Shanghai.
Her mother is a beautiful lady, and her father is a wealthy businessman.
When she was a child, she came from a wealthy family and lived a princess-like life.
Until he was 6 years old, his father was imprisoned, and the family's life fell into embarrassment.
In desperation, the mother of the ten fingers did not touch the spring water and took on the burden of supporting the family.
But it is too difficult for a lone woman to pull 4 children to grow up.
In order to survive, the mother had to take three of her children to Hong Kong to join relatives.
As the eldest in the family, Zheng Peipei was temporarily left in Shanghai and depended on the nanny.
It wasn't until she was 15 years old that her mother took her to Hong Kong to join her family.
When she first arrived in Hong Kong, because of the language barrier and the dislike of the environment there, Zheng Peipei was very distressed and often depressed.
By chance, she saw that the Nanguo Experimental Theater Company had a Chinese performance, and the familiar local accent made her feel more cordial.
From then on, she had the idea of joining the troupe.
After some hard work, Zheng Peipei was successfully admitted to the Nanguo Experimental Theater Troupe the following year.
In 1963, Zheng Peipei played the male role "Liu Yanchang" in the first movie "Baolian Lantern", and left a deep impression on the audience with her beautiful and heroic appearance.
At this time, director Hu Jinquan also watched the film and remembered this little girl who was only 17 years old.
Three years later, because of this opportunity, Zheng Peipei ushered in the opportunity to become famous.
This year, the movie "The Drunken Man" was preparing to be filmed, and Hu Jinquan overrode public opinion and chose Zheng Peipei to play the heroine "Golden Swallow".
In the film, Jin Yanzi, who is dressed as a man, has a delicate appearance and resolute eyes.
When it comes to fighting, it is even more fluid, and every move is clean and neat.
The image of a heroic chivalrous woman was completely established by Zheng Peipei.
With this role, she became an instant hit.
After becoming famous, Zheng Peipei successively starred in a series of martial arts movies such as "Golden Swallow", "Jade Rakshasa", "Zhong Kui Lady", and became a recognized "martial arts actress".
Just when everyone thought that she would continue to work hard in the entertainment industry and take her career to the next level, she chose to rest for love.
This walk is 21 years.

Zheng Peipei's love history starts with "The Drunken Man".
Because of this film, she fell in love with Yue Hua, who played the male lead, because of the play.
The combination of the golden boy and the girl has been blessed by countless audiences, and it has also become a good story in the Hong Kong film industry at that time.
It's a pity that the good things in the world are not strong, and the colored clouds are easy to scatter and the glass is broken.
But in five years, this relationship came to an end.
After the failure of the relationship, Zheng Peipei put more energy into her career again.
However, perhaps due to the influence of being separated from her relatives since childhood, she has a deep obsession with starting a family.
In 1971, Zheng Peipei met businessman Wen Wentong.
In fact, at that time, there was no shortage of suitors around her, and they were all obedient to her, only Wen Wentong never flattered her, and often criticized her for her little problems.
If you change it to an ordinary girl, you must not like it.
But Zheng Peipei, who is young and young, just thinks that this kind of original text is very different and has a different charm.
Soon after, despite her mother's resistance, she insisted on marrying him.
This year, she was 25 years old.
After marriage, for the sake of the family, Zheng Peipei chose to retire and followed her husband to the United States.
But the imaginary happiness did not come, and the misery of life followed.
In a foreign country, in order not to waste the family's money as much as possible, Zheng Peipei has done many jobs, taking care of the store for her husband, running around setting up a TV station, and helping her sister-in-law take care of the children.
What's more, in order to satisfy her in-laws, she wants to give birth to a son for her original family.
Therefore, in the past 20 years, Zheng Peipei has been pregnant 8 times and miscarriageed 4 times, and finally has three daughters and one son.
During pregnancy, she often went to the hospital for prenatal check-ups by herself.
There were so many times that even the doctor couldn't help but ask her, "Do you have a husband?"
Many years later, when it came to those days, Zheng Peipei sighed:
"At that time, I had an incorrect idea about childbearing, thinking that my husband was a single family for three generations, and since I was his wife, I had this obligation to lend my belly to him to have children...... I made childbirth a job. ”
Even though she had given everything for this marriage, she eventually went to divorce.

After the divorce, Zheng Peipei was very depressed for a while.
During that time, she lost a lot of her hair, and she could only wear wigs when she went out to meet people.
Later, Zheng Peipei went to Australia to find her mother, and met Master Nebula there.
She begged the master to ordain her, but was refused.
The master told her: "Becoming a monk is not to escape, you are not over, you should go back to filming." ”
After many years out of the circle, the world has changed, and she doesn't know if she will have a chance to do it again, but she is willing to give it a try.
In 1992, Zheng Peipei made a comeback in Hong Kong.
The following year, a young man approached her and invited her to star in a "nonsensical" comedy film.
Since then, in the childhood memories of the post-90s, there has been a articulate and nervous "Mrs. Hua".
With this role, Zheng Peipei not only returned to the public eye, but also opened up her popularity in the mainland.
But for her behavior of starring in such films, many old-school directors expressed unacceptability, and even considered her "degenerate".
But Zheng Peipei didn't think so, she said:
"Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" opened the second spring of my acting career, I can't use "The Drunken Man" to maintain my acting work all my life, I think the whole environment has changed, I try to let go of myself to accept new challenges. ”
Zheng Peipei did what she said, and a few years later she also challenged the role of villain, playing the blue-eyed fox in Ang Lee's movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
Later, she won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards for this role and competed for the Academy Awards.
Since then, Zheng Peipei has participated in many film and television dramas, creating one classic screen image after another.
Now, Zheng Peipei is 78 years old, settled abroad with her children, and began to enjoy old age.
Looking back on her life, there have been peaks and valleys, but no matter when, she has the courage to start over.
When she found that the marriage was irretrievable, she left decisively.
When she realized that she still loved acting, she bravely made a comeback.
When she saw the trend of the times changing, she had the courage to try.
Zheng Peipei has a strong and tenacious strength.
As she puts it:
"Every time I suffer, I can learn something new, life is impossible, everything is easy, we have to look at it with a different eye. ”
May after she spend half of her life suffering, she will be greeted with sunny days in the future.
