She became popular all over the country for her role in the role of "A Qingsao" in the Peking Opera "Shajiabang", but no one expected that the actor Hong Xuefei who played A Qingsao's wife was a hard-working person.
Because Hong Xuefei was disliked by his father as soon as he was born, he was abandoned by his father when he was young, and he died in the ravine when his career was popular.
Why is such an excellent Hong Xuefei so fateful, and how did she die in the ravine back then?
Success is no accident
Hong Xuefei is not only born with a good voice, but she also likes singing very much, and it is precisely because of this hobby that Hong Xuefei has also been achieved.
Hong Xuefei just started to study Kunqu Opera, and in 1958, with her solid singing skills, she was successfully admitted to the Northern Kunqu Opera Theater.
Hong Xuefei, who has a certain talent, also worked very hard when she was in the theater, she was modest and studious, and soon learned more professional knowledge, and her singing skills continued to increase.
Hong Xuefei knew that she was only one chance away, although she had already participated in large and small performances, she had never really become popular.
But Hong Xuefei has never given up on herself, let alone her favorite Kunqu Opera, she wants to take singing as her life's work.
In 1966, Hong Xuefei entered the Beijing Peking Opera Troupe and changed to singing Peking Opera, the so-called "Jingkun is one family", Hong Xuefei, who has a certain foundation in Kunqu Opera, has no difficulty in singing Peking Opera.
In order to be able to better transform, Hong Xuefei is also constantly learning, and it is precisely because of her efforts that she has ushered in the spring of her career.
At that time, the Beijing Theater Troupe was arranging the program "Shajiabang", but when all the staff were rehearsing nervously, the actor Zhao Yanxia, who played A Qing's sister-in-law, suddenly had a little physical condition.
Seeing that the show could no longer go on normally, the head of the regiment was also very anxious.
When everyone was at a loss, Hong Xuefei broke into everyone's sight, her appearance conditions were very in line with the image of A Qingsao, and the head of the regiment immediately decided to let Hong Xuefei join the rehearsal.
In the face of the leader's trust, Hong Xuefei was also under great pressure, she was afraid that she would not be able to play this role well, and she knew that she must still owe the shortcomings of "fire".
During the rehearsal, Hong Xuefei was very serious, and after the rehearsal, she often asked the old actors for advice, and constantly practiced every line and expression.
It is precisely because of Hong Xuefei's serious and responsible attitude that she played the role of A Qing's sister-in-law, and after the performance, there was thunderous applause at the scene.
Hong Xuefei also quickly became popular with the classic role of A Qingsao, who is full of positive energy.
5 years later, "Sha Jiabang" appeared in front of the audience again in the form of a movie, and Hong Xuefei became a household name, everyone not only knew the role of A Qingsao, but also paid great attention to Hong Xuefei who played A Qingsao.
It can be said that Hong Xuefei has achieved himself because of this role, and since then, Aqing's sister-in-law has become Hong Xuefei's "synonym", and everyone will think of Hong Xuefei when it comes to Aqing's sister-in-law.
The famous Hong Xuefei has since starred in Kunqu opera "The Palace of Eternal Life", "A Thousand Miles to Jingniang", "Peony Pavilion" and so on.
Don't look at Hong Xuefei in the stands, she is glamorous, in fact, there have been some unbearable past events in her.
Abandoned mother and daughter
Hong Xuefei's father was a tea merchant, and in the forties and fifties, the business was a big family, and it stands to reason that Hong Xuefei's childhood should have been worry-free.
Unfortunately, she was born in a patriarchal family, and when she heard that it was a girl, Hong Xuefei's father did not look at her squarely.
In addition, Hong Xuefei's mother was not the main family that Ming Media was marrying, and as an aunt's wife, she did not give birth to a son, so her life was not easy.
Hong Xuefei's mother also became humble because she didn't give birth to a son, and originally thought that as long as she swallowed her anger, she could live forever.
But in the end, Hong Xuefei's mother and daughter were kicked out of the house by their ruthless father, and Hong Xuefei lived a life of exile with his mother when he was a child, and they didn't even have a place to live.
Fortunately, Hong Xuefei's mother is more hardworking and capable, and she found a job as a chorre in a large family, so she worked hard to raise Hong Xuefei as an adult.
Hong Xuefei, who has suffered a lot from snacks, is also very self-motivated, and she hopes to make her mother's later life happier through her own efforts.
Fortunately, Hong Xuefei was helped by well-wishers when she was a child, and she also learned a lot of knowledge, and she is also a literate person.
In addition, Hong Xuefei is not only beautiful, but also has a good voice, which gives Hong Xuefei a new way to make a living.
Hong Xuefei also reached the pinnacle of her life, and she also got her wish to let her mother live a happy old age.
But what she didn't expect was that Hong Xuefei's highlight moment didn't last long, she had an accident when she went out to perform, and a generation of Peking Opera geniuses fell.
Death in the ravine
As Hong Xuefei's fame continues to increase, she has more and more opportunities to act, and Hong Xuefei has encountered love while developing her career.
Hong Xuefei and her husband Liu Bihan came together because of their common hobby, and it can be said that Liu Bihan is also a loyal fan of Hong Xuefei, and he admires Hong Xuefei very much.
At the same time, Liu Bihan is very supportive of his wife's performance work, and when Hong Xuefei goes out to perform, he takes care of the children and housework at home.
This kind of life outside the female protagonist and the male protagonist is also very happy, and Liu Bihan spoils Hong Xuefei like a baby.
Liu Bihan is a very responsible and careful man, he does a very good job in logistics, so that Hong Xuefei can pursue his favorite Peking Opera career without any worries.
Seeing that the days were getting more and more prosperous, I didn't expect an accident to quietly befall the hard-working Hong Xuefei.
In September 1994, 52-year-old Hong Xuefei was kindly invited by the Karamay Oil Refinery in Xinjiang to board a flight to Xinjiang.
Because the refinery is relatively remote, even if you get off the plane, you still have to drive for four or five hours.
In order to show the importance of Hong Xuefei, the factory arranged a car for herself, and the driver was also an old driver with many years of driving experience.
But what she didn't expect was that the accident still happened, after Hong Xuefei got into the car to pick her up, she quickly fell asleep due to the fatigue of the long boat.
What Hong Xuefei didn't expect was that she left in her sleep, and it is estimated that she didn't know what happened at that time.
The driver was an old driver, but because he had been driving fatigue for a long time, the car crashed off the road, but it was too late for the driver to wake up.
The car accident happened, Hong Xuefei was thrown out of the car directly, and her head hit a stone impartially, and Hong Xuefei lost her life on the spot because of hitting her head.
The driver was only slightly injured, Hong Xuefei died in another country, and she was disfigured when she died in a car accident, which was simply miserable.
When Hong Xuefei's husband in Beijing heard this bad news, he almost fainted to the ground, but he didn't expect Hong Xuefei to go and never return this time, and they have been separated from each other since then.
The driver was sentenced to two years for fatigue driving, and the refinery gave Hong Xuefei's family a pension of 100,000 yuan to compensate them.
At that time, this was a lot of wealth, but Hong Xuefei's husband's actions shocked everyone, after settling his wife's funeral.
Liu Bihan took the pension given by the oil refinery and established the "Beijing Young Peking Opera Actor Hong Xuefei Encouragement Award".
He knew that if his wife had a spirit in heaven, she would also agree to do so, because Hong Xuefei had given his life to Peking Opera.
And Liu Bihan also misses his deceased wife in this special way, since Hong Xuefei's death, her husband often holds Hong Xuefei's photo in a daze, and he can't help it, so he turns on the TV and watches the performance video of his wife over and over again.
Hong Xuefei is a hard-working person, she was disgusted by her father when she was born, and finally succeeded in her career, and left in a car accident.
Since then, there has been no Hong Xuefei in the Peking Opera industry, but the "A Qing sister-in-law" she once played will always remain in the hearts of the audience.
