The inexorable end of fate
1969 was the third year of the "Ten Years of Special Period". In that dark and depressing special era, the once radiant famous actor Feng Zhe suffered unprecedented destruction and unreasonable treatment.
As a generation of acting superstars, he has brought countless wonderful screen masterpieces to the audience, but at the age of 49, he chose to say goodbye to the world in a cruel way.
It was an ordinary and extraordinary day, and Feng Zhe came to the labor reform farm with endless pain and despair. On that cold and damp day, Feng Zhe's eyes were gloomy, and his face was full of exhaustion and sleepiness.
He walked slowly towards the last journey of his life. Inside the farm, the surrounding scenery became blurry in his eyes, as if a thick layer of fog was shrouded in it.
The trees swayed in the wind, and the branches and leaves rustled, as if to see him off.
In the end, Feng Zhe came to an ancient tree, looked up at the last trace of the sun on the canopy, and his eyes were scattered and gloomy. He took off the silk scarf around his neck and carefully tied a live buckle rope, his face full of determination and determination.
At the last moment of his life, Feng Zhe muttered to himself: "If the heavens are unwilling to take me in, then people will deprive me of the right to live." With that, he closed his eyes and turned into an eternal twilight.
In this way, this legendary actor who has made outstanding contributions to the screen art of New China chose to end his short but legendary life at the age of 49, when his spirit and career were at their peak.
He is gone, leaving this world forever, leaving behind the relatives and viewers who love him and love him. And the hundreds of wonderful characters he left behind will always live in people's memories and cannot be erased.
The ruthless abandonment of his wife
Looking back at the reason why Feng Zhe chose to commit suicide, there is an extremely cruel family tragedy. It turned out that during the difficult period when he was subjected to political persecution and his life was in distress, Feng Zhe once turned around and asked his beloved wife Zhang Guangru for help in a desperate manner, hoping to get her understanding and support, but was coldly rejected and ignored by the other party.
On that cold and hesitant winter night, when Feng Zhe begged outside the door, Zhang Guangru had no mercy, closed the door tightly, and let her husband shiver outside all night.
Her eyes were cold and resolute, and she stared at Feng Zhe outside the door expressionlessly, as if she couldn't see his painful expression. Feng Zhe's hands slapped on the door, making a heavy sound, but in exchange for his wife's ruthless refusal in her heart.
What's even more cruel is that during this period, when someone came to investigate with the purpose of spying on Feng Zhe's past, Zhang Guangru actually revealed everything she knew about her husband's privacy and past, including the reason why Feng Zhe lost his job at Tianma Film Studio, and some of his unintentional gaffes to his friends on weekdays.
Such a ruthless betrayal undoubtedly gave the isolated and helpless Feng Zhe the last heavy blow. When his wife's love and watchfulness left him, all he could rely on and hope for was gone.
After suffering such a major blow mentally and physically, Feng Zhe endured even more severe persecution and destruction, and his life fell into an unprecedented predicament, so much so that he had the idea of giving up his life.
There is no more brutal family tragedy. A former beloved screen superstar, when he needed the support and encouragement of his relatives the most, he was ruthlessly abandoned and betrayed by his wife.
This blow to Feng Zhe was so huge that it was enough to crush his last glimmer of hope and courage to survive. It can be seen that Zhang Guangru played the role of the fuse in this family tragedy, and her actions became an important reason why Feng Zhe chose to commit suicide.
The pinnacle of the success of the play
To look back on Feng Zhe's brilliant life, we have to mention a series of classic masterpieces he left on the screen. As a sensational superstar in the 50s of the last century, Feng Zhe can be said to have made outstanding contributions to the development of the mainland film industry.
He has starred in a series of excellent films such as "Southern Expedition and Northern War", "Railway Guerrilla", "Yangcheng Dark Outpost", "Chasing Bandits in the Desert" and so on.
In the revolutionary war masterpiece "Southern Expedition and Northern War" filmed in 1952, Feng Zhe created the unforgettable classic role of "Gao Battalion Commander".
The film tells the heroic epic of the early days of the Liberation War, although the People's Liberation Army was in a grim situation of strong enemies and weak enemies on the battlefield in East China, but in the end, it completely defeated the enemy through the combat method of wisdom and bravery.
And Camp Chief Gao is the core character of this film created by Feng Zhe with a simple and landed performance, he is resolute and tenacious, brave and kind, wise and brave, and heroic, which left a very deep impression on the audience.
It can be said that "Southern Expedition and Northern War" brought a turning point to Feng Zhe's acting career. After the release of this film, it instantly detonated the enthusiasm of the audience, and the image of Camp Chief Gao was also deeply loved and sought after by the public.
For Feng Zhe, this is undoubtedly the pinnacle of his career, which not only made him popular, but also stimulated more of his creative potential and allowed him to reach a higher level on the road of performance.
Since then, Feng Zhe has participated in a series of excellent works, such as "Huaishang People", "An Important Lesson", "A Little Story in the Wind and Waves", etc., which have been widely praised every time they have been produced, and have contributed wonderful screen roles to the audience.
Especially in 1957's "Huaishang People", Feng Zhe brilliantly interpreted the image of an ordinary farmer, and vividly demonstrated the simple, kind, tenacious and hard-working character traits of the small farmers by the Huai River in that era with a simple but highly textured performance, which won the applause and popularity of countless audiences.
Under the superposition effect of these classic film and television works, Feng Zhe's acting career has been soaring, and his reputation has spread far and wide, and he has become the most popular and hottest first-line actor at that time.
It can be said that Feng Zhe has pushed the profession of actor to a new height, and has deeply imprinted his works and character images in the memory of an entire generation, creating a real artistic legend.
Lost marriage
In addition to the glorious stage of Feng Zhe's life, his love and marriage life is also wonderful, experiencing sweet, beautiful and difficult twists and turns. On an ordinary day in 1946, Feng Zhe met the goddess he was deeply fascinated by - Zhang Guangru at a drama appreciation party.
At a glance, he was deeply attracted by this beautiful and moving Sichuan opera actor and drama actor.
Zhang Guangru, formerly known as Zhang Guangru, is 9 years older than Feng Zhe, and has had extraordinary artistic talent since he was a child. When Feng Zhe met her, the two seemed to have a match made in heaven, and their similar professional backgrounds and life experiences quickly brought them closer and started an in-depth conversation.
In this way, the spark of love burned in the hearts of the two, and finally the two established a romantic relationship.
Soon after getting married, Feng Zhe, whose career was on the rise, was transferred to Hong Kong for development. Faced with the living environment in a foreign land, Zhang Guangru did not hesitate at all, and resolutely chose to follow her husband to a foreign country, supporting Feng Zhe's strong backing with her weak body.
At the beginning, the married life of the two was happy and happy, and the vow of getting married and growing old together seemed to be right in front of them.
However, the good times did not last long, and soon the disaster was that the husband and wife had two pregnancies but ended in miscarriages. What was even more fatal was that Zhang Guangru was forced to have her fallopian tubes removed because of a serious blockage of her fallopian tubes, and she was unable to give birth to offspring ever since.
In the face of this heavy blow of fate, Feng Zhe and his wife fought side by side, warmed each other with love, hugged each other, supported each other, and spent the darkest years of their lives together.
Just when the relationship between the two began to fade, Zhang Guangru was transferred to Chengdu to work in 1957, and since then he and Feng Zhe have started a long-distance relationship. During the long period of separation, the couple's hearts and minds became increasingly estranged.
Zhang Guangru began to have a deep fear and suspicion about whether her husband would betray the relationship, and the relationship between the two gradually came to the brink of breaking.
From drama martial arts to movie superstar
During World War II, in order to take care of his seriously ill eldest brother, Feng Zhe had to give up the opportunity to go abroad for further study. It was during this special experience that he came into contact with the field of drama by accident, and he fell in love with the beauty of performing arts.
With the ardent expectation and encouragement of his family and friends, Feng Zhe resolutely joined the Shanghai Drama Art Society and became a professional drama actor, thus starting his wonderful acting career.
Although the Shanghai Drama Art Society soon announced its dissolution, this did not crush Feng Zhe's persistent pursuit of his dreams. He switched to Tong Mao's juju and made his debut in a number of well-received drama works.
Especially in the repertoire "Home", "Returning to the People on a Snowy Night", "Under the Eaves of Shanghai" and other works, Feng Zhe has brilliantly created vivid and vivid characters, which have made the audience full of praise.
Until 1945, Feng Zhe was full of heart to serve the country, resolutely joined the Communist Party of China, became an underground worker, and started his glorious revolutionary career.
In the double tug-of-war between Rong Ma's career and drama career, Feng Zhe has always maintained a high degree of focus and perseverance, and has moved forward bravely on the road of art.
In 1946, under the arrangement of the organization, Feng Zhe successfully entered Shanghai Guotai Film Company, officially starting his legendary life in the film industry. In this way, a former unknown young actor gradually transformed into a superstar on the screen, and wrote his wonderful life in classic film and television works.
The last mystery of the world
After learning the sad news that Feng Zhe committed suicide, his beloved wife Zhang Guangru was deeply distressed and remorseful. She finally realized that her ruthless behavior towards her husband was an important reason for this family tragedy.
From that moment on, Zhang Guangru often fell into great remorse, she often expressed her thoughts about her late lover with words and memories, and even confessed her regret to Feng Zhe in front of the media many times.
"In the most difficult moment of Feng Zhe's life, I couldn't reach out to rescue him, I really can't be called a competent wife... Zhang Guangru once said so sadly.
Feng Zhe's heroic martyrdom became an eternal pain in her heart. She clearly realized that if she had given her husband enough love and support, instead of ruthlessly turning him away, maybe that tragedy would not have happened.
However, fate played a big joke on the two. Incredibly, despite Zhang Guangru's deep guilt and reluctance to Feng Zhe's death, at the last moment of her life in 1993, she left a will, expressing her unwillingness to be buried with her late husband Feng Zhe.
This decision has undoubtedly left the world with an eternal mystery. Zhang Guangru had such a deep apology for Feng Zhe, why did she refuse to be with him forever in the end? Is there any deep guilt in her heart that she can't let go? Or is it for some inferred reason? With the departure of the two, this mystery may only become an eternal regret.
When the special era finally ended, Feng Zhe was held a grand memorial service by Emeishan Film Studio, announcing that he had been officially rehabilitated and restored his due reputation and dignity.
Despite this, the unfortunate fact is that Feng Zhe's death cannot be changed, and he has become an eternal regret in the hearts of the masses.
The screen legend who once brought countless laughter, emotion and tears to the audience left us forever at the age of 49.
The classic characters he created will always live in people's memories and are indelible.
