At the scene of the program, Dong Qing sighed to Hui Yinghong:
Your life is more like a movie than a movie.
was born in a royal family, but worked as a beggar for 10 years;
won the trophy of the actress, and also swallowed a whole bottle of sleeping pills, seeking to die;
death of his father;
The mother is seriously ill;
The elder brother died;
Sisters and sisters were sent away.
Her life is someone else's two lives.
01
67-year-old Hui Yinghong has been in love, but insists on not marrying and having children.
She was waiting, waiting for her to be 12 years old, her young and ignorant first love, which was the first light in her life.
Just as at the age of 63, she wore a wedding dress to show her love:
If you come back, then together.
Maybe in the eyes of others, this is an obsession.
But for Hui Yinghong, before she met him, she didn't even know what "love" was.
The time before that was too hard.
Born in the Wang family, a few generations ago, their family name is the same as that of the Empress Dowager Cixi:
Yehnara.
Looking at the father in a suit and leather shoes in the photo, and the mother with a gorgeous flag, it is difficult for Hui Yinghong to associate these with herself.
In fact, it is indeed real.
Hui Yinghong's ancestral home is in Shandong, and her family is a famous family in the local area.
When she was born, Hui Yinghong was still a "little Gege".
It's just that the turbulent times coincided with the turbulent times, and the former relatives and nobles changed from honor to crime overnight.
When he was 3 years old, his father took his mother and siblings on a boat that fled to Hong Kong.
There were also countless pieces of jewelry, as well as gold bars that had been exchanged for family land.
If things develop like this, these family assets will be enough for the family to have no worries about food and clothing, wealth and enjoyment.
But if nothing else, there was an accident.
's father, who wanted to invest "money to make money", was deceived of all his net worth.
The roof leak happened to rain overnight, and the ship broke and encountered a head wind.
After moving from a large mansion to a small cabin, Hong Kong was hit by the biggest typhoon in history.
After one night, the family was ruined.
Young Hui Yinghong, along with her siblings, lived in the stairwell with her parents.
The source of the food is the leftovers from the small restaurant.
In order to make a living, her two older sisters and one brother were sent to the opera garden.
She was too young to escape.
But not idle.
3-year-old "Little Gege" Hui Yinghong, in order to have enough to eat, became a little beggar in the red light district of Wan Chai.
Every day's "work" is to sell chewing gum.
Some people buy and collect money, and when no one buys, they lie down, hugging the adult's thighs and begging.
She lived like this for ten years.
"Even if I ask for food, I want to be the eldest sister among beggars!"
This belief has supported Hui Yinghong's life for ten years.
Until the appearance of an exotic sailor, she changed her determination to become a "beggar carrying the handle".
He showed up every day to buy her leftover gum or cigarettes.
Then he stood aside and watched her go home.
Every day, rain or shine.
This kind of silent guardianship awakened the heart of a 12-year-old Hui Yinghong's girl.
Until one evening, the sailor took the initiative to come over and asked in English: How do I love you say in Chinese?
The girl said, "I love you."
Blushing and shy.
The sailor repeated: I love you.
Affectionate paragraphs.
Early the next morning, the sailors went to the battlefield, and the sentence "I love you" has also become Hui Yinghong's heart for the next 50 years.
At this time, she no longer wants to be a beggar.
The eldest sister can't do it either.
02
At the age of 13, Hui Yinghong was already a big girl.
The gum can't be sold anymore, and she's embarrassed to hug other people's thighs anymore.
And this trick doesn't work anymore.
When she sees a flyer recruiting dancers in a dance hall, she walks into the dance hall and becomes the protagonist of the red light district.
What Hui Yinghong wants is to get ahead.
But weak and shriveled, looking malnourished, it is not easy to stand in the center of the stage.
The boss threw her a lion hood and couldn't show her face.
Frail girl, heavy hood.
Hui Yinghong finally stood on the stage from a beggar.
If you want to get ahead, you have to find another way.
After accumulating some stage experience, Hui Yinghong walked into the largest dance hall in the area: Miramar.
took off her hood, danced seriously, and with hard work and persistence, she was finally recognized.
Not only did he jump to the position of the lead dancer, but he also led the team to participate in competitions abroad.
After coming back, Hui Yinghong had a salary of 1,500 yuan per month, which was enough to support her family.
The days gradually got ahead, and she also met the first noble person in her life: Zhang Che.
At this time, her stage is only one step away between the nightclub and the showbiz.
03
At that time, director Zhang Che was casting for the movie "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
I happened to see Hui Yinghong dancing in Miramar.
相貌佳，舞姿美丽不失英气，眉宇之间带着倔强。
It's a pity that such a person only dances in a nightclub!
Under the guidance of Zhang Che, Hui Yinghong auditioned for the crew.
and successfully starred in the role of the second female "Mu Nianci".
At that time, the "martial arts queen" Zheng Peipei left the United States because of her marriage, and the market was short of a blank.
The arrival of Hui Yinghong also happened to fill this vacancy.
Therefore, Shaw Brothers wants to sign this "rising star" and train her into a new generation of "stars".
The opportunity is good, and Hui Yinghong is happy.
The only person who objected was the mother.
The mother is a child daughter-in-law and is illiterate.
All she could see was her salary.
Dancing costs 1,500 yuan a month, and acting is only 500 yuan.
After Hui Yinghong repeatedly promised that she would regard acting as a lifelong career, and there might be fifteen thousand or even more in the future, her mother finally relented.
At this time, her "second life" really began.
Those years were the most difficult years for the development of Hong Kong films, and actresses wanted to become famous, and there were only "two ends" to choose from:
Pillows, fists.
Hui Yinghong chose the latter.
Clean, but at an almost cost of life.
There are no stand-ins, no special effects, no lens misalignment, and it all has to be real.
With only a rudimentary safety rope, she jumped from the 16th floor.
The price is to break both legs.
After a simple bandage, she was carried on her shoulders by the martial arts instructor and continued to shoot.
Unconsciously with your legs hanging down underneath, your upper body still has to perform movements such as punching and blocking.
I didn't dare to eat, just to vomit a few times less and reshoot a few times less when I was beaten.
Fractured legs, strained ligaments.
The pain in my body every morning reminds me of my identity as a "star".
Every time I shoot, I am ready to die, and I am desperate with "ruthlessness".
Hui Yinghong was seen by more and more insiders, and there were more and more invitations.
At the age of 22, she won the trophy of the first Academy Awards with "Elders".
So far, Hui Yinghong is the only one who has won the best heroine by martial arts.
After that, Hui Yinghong played the leading role in more and more movies and became famous.
When everyone thought she would become the next "martial arts queen", times quietly changed.
Literary films have almost replaced the market of martial arts films, and "stargazing" seems to have become the "funeral goods" of the times.
After her career was "killed by him", Hui Yinghong committed suicide!
04
Maggie Cheung's style and Zhong Chuhong's grievances have become the trend of a new generation.
The martial arts market continues to shrink, and Hui Yinghong has also begun to look for a way out.
But there are only two answers: rejection and reprimand.
When Hui Yinghong walked into the set of a literary film to audition, no matter how big or small the role, there was only one reason for rejection:
The label of stardom on your body is too big, and the audience doesn't buy it.
Similarly, Shaw Brothers was very resistant to her idea of transformation:
finally created a "star" label for you, and you are not allowed to use this identity to do other things.
However, the market trend is obviously more inclined to literary films and comedy films.
For Hui Yinghong, the label of "hitting the star" used to be scenery and honor, but now it is a "stain".
Even if she went abroad to make a personal photo of style, it was not useful.
When the times abandoned her, they didn't say hello.
Under the "elegant suppression" of the general environment, Hui Yinghong "withdrew from the circle".
She has opened a beauty salon and done a small business.
The former actress has become a "sales" on the streets.
After the ups and downs, Hui Yinghong suffered from severe depression.
Swallowing dozens of sleeping pills, wanting to end this life.
Fortunately, he was found by his sister in time and sent to the hospital for treatment.
After picking up a life, Hui Yinghong suddenly figured it out: Why don't you go and widen the road yourself?
After 10 years of begging in the red-light district, she saw a lot of people doing too many unwilling things to make a living.
If others can give, so can I!
So, she returned to the entertainment industry.
Background board, beggar, mother, babysitter......
As long as she can stand in front of the camera and act, she never allows herself to have free time.
Many people have also discovered that the original star who is fighting to the flesh can also be so soft and knotty, like crying and complaining.
Until 2009, she stood on the podium of the Golden Horse Awards and Academy Awards again by playing the controlling mother in the thriller movie "Heart Demon".
Change your identity and live again.
Since then, the king has returned.
When actresses of the same age gradually withdrew from the circle, Hui Yinghong's acting career reached a peak again.
In "Blood Guanyin", she plays the eight-sided delicate and powerful Mrs. Tang;
In "Blame You for Being Too Beautiful", she vividly interpreted the mood and life of the outdated actress Ruan Lihua;
In "My Extraordinary Parents", she put down her image and played the role of a disabled mother, redefining maternal love and responsibility;
In "Splendid Her", she partnered with Liu Haocun to stage the love between grandparents and grandchildren, telling the story of finding and redemption......
Epilogue:
But even if she stands on the podium again, her regret is still the short-lived love that brought her warmth when she was 12 years old.
When she goes abroad, she still asks a question to the people in the audience:
Have you ever been to Hong Kong? Have you ever bought a little girl's chewing gum?
The small flower that sprouted at the age of 12 turned into a waiting wedding dress at the age of 63.
This is also the most uncontrollable obsession in her life.
