Preface
In the nineties of the last century, as long as you are a person who watches TV series, has anyone not watched "The Condor Heroes"?
As long as you talk about the Condor Heroes, no matter what generation it is, you will definitely think of two people in your mind.
One is the little dragon girl with light wind and moon, ice muscles and jade bones, and the other is Yang Guo, who is "mediocre" and has clear eyebrows.
There may be controversy about Yang Guo's film and television image, but when it comes to the beginning, everyone must think of Li Ruotong.
As one of the few artists in Hong Kong who made his debut and became popular, Li Ruotong's luck and talent in his career can be said to be so good.
But God feeds him, Li Ruotong insists on not eating it, and the bitterness of love, this child chases after him to taste the saltiness.
All of the statements in this article are based on reliable sources and are reproduced at the end of this article
People have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away
In 1966, Li Ruotong was born in a super family in Hong Kong, and her parents gave birth to ten children together, and she was called the Seven Fairies by her neighbors in seventh place.
Since he was a child, Li Ruotong has been a child of someone else's family, and the conditions in the family are not good, so Li Ruotong makes some small handicrafts and sells them for living expenses to reduce the burden on his parents.
At the same time, she has always maintained the top three grades in her grade, and even has the spare energy to serve as the class president in the class.
According to my guess before I didn't understand it, she should be among the best and good-looking, she should just go to college like this, find a good job, be discovered by talent scouts and enter the entertainment industry.
But in 1981, Li Ruotong moved with his parents and transferred to another school.
After she changed schools, she felt that she was not comfortable with school life, so she would not get good grades in school, so she gave up studying.
She was only nineteen years old this year, and Li Ruotong, who had just given up her studies, entered Cathay Pacific Airways with her excellent appearance and became a flight attendant.
At that time, Li Ruotong's opinion on the job of a flight attendant was that she could travel for free in the future.
Since she was a child, her fate seems to have been smoother than others.
Compared with Li Ruotong's appearance, she is obviously not wise, and she is not weak compared to her grades; compared to work, flight attendant is a job that Li Ruotong is very satisfied with.
In addition to the fact that the family environment is not rich, this is simply the beginning of Tianhu's life.
But Li Ruotong is not this kind of person who obediently waits for God to feed her, in addition to studying well but suddenly dropping out of school, she has more anxious actions.
Don't eat the food that comes from the mouth
After working as a flight attendant for five years, Li Ruotong, who was already slim, became even more beautiful.
With such a good talent, Li Ruotong was discovered by a talent scout and served as an advertising model, earning the first money in the entertainment industry.
Also because of this advertisement, Li Ruotong was discovered by the film director and participated in "Romantic Killer Free Man" starring Wang Zuxian.
Li Ruotong said that he would not refuse these jobs, but as long as it did not affect my own work, it would be fine.
After entering the entertainment industry, she still didn't want to give up being a flight attendant, in her opinion, "Filming is just a side job, and flight attendants are life." ”
In 1992, Tsui Hark was looking for a suitable actor for his movie "Demon Beast City", and when he saw Li Ruotong's previous shooting, he immediately made a decision to let her play an important supporting role.
After checking his flight plan, Li Ruotong agreed to Tsui Hark's invitation.
In fact, Li Ruotong is not from a professional class, nor has he participated in any cram school, every shooting is a flash of inspiration and the director's training, but the effect of the performance is very good.
At that time, Tsui Hark's wife Shi Nansheng watched her performance on the set and exclaimed: "The acting skills are good and have potential, but I have no ambition." ”
That's right, and it's so tactful.
Because as soon as the movie was finished, Li Ruotong went back to work as a flight attendant.
Originally, as an important supporting role, Li Ruotong didn't go to the propaganda station, but the reason given was because he wanted to fall in love and accompany his boyfriend to travel.
It's not that no one has asked Li Ruotong why he didn't concentrate on filming, and the answer he got made people feel reasonable and wrong.
She said: "My flight attendant is doing a good job, why do you want to film?"
It doesn't matter that it's not good right away, because not long after traveling with her boyfriend, the other party unilaterally broke up with her.
Li Ruotong didn't understand it very much, and even fell seriously ill for this matter.
Dragging her sick body, she called the company to ask for leave, but the company said: You take more medicine and come to work.
This attitude chilled Li Ruotong's heart, coupled with the emotional injury he received, Li Ruotong didn't want to stay in this sad place anymore.
It just so happened that an agent named Johnny To came to her to sign a contract, and she asked him if he had any movies to go out to shoot and didn't want to stay in Hong Kong.
To Qifeng, who learned about Li Ruotong's mental journey, was very helpless, and gave Li Ruotong the script of the movie "Burning Red Lotus Temple" filmed in the mainland.
In this way, Li Ruotong bid farewell to his career as a flight attendant and officially entered the showbiz.
Become a "Little Dragon Girl"
In fact, Li Ruotong, who has not learned acting systematically, is very simple in acting, on the one hand, the agent will choose roles for her that are not too different from her own personality;
On the other hand, Li Ruotong belongs to the kind of talented and experiential actors.
In 1995, Li Tiansheng, the producer of "The Condor Heroes", felt that Li Ruotong was very suitable for the role of Little Dragon Girl.
Li Ruotong knows the importance of the little dragon girl in this book, she is relatively soft and naïve by nature, she lacks self-confidence and does not want to take the film.
But Du Qifeng is very optimistic about this script and has been persuading her, and even Li Tiansheng saw the shadow of Xiaolongnu in this move and reason, and insisted on asking her to give it a try.
Li Tiansheng also sent the stills of Li Ruotong in "Sparks of Youth" to the old man Jin Yong, and Jin Yong replied: "This is the little dragon girl in my heart." ”
Li Ruotong was flattered to receive this reply, and the continuous encouragement of those two people also made Li Ruotong start to prepare seriously.
In the end, Li Ruotong's performance won the recognition of everyone in the crew and even the audience in front of the TV.
But no one knows what Li Ruotong, who has not systematically studied filming, has experienced.
The first time I participated in a TV series, the high-intensity filming and even the martial arts scenes were doubled in the movie.
And Li Ruotong, as an experiential school, is able to perfectly interpret the little dragon girl in the original work, because she really entered the play, and she rarely played in life.
After the filming, Li Ruotong actually rested for a long time, and did not take any work for about a year, the reason was that he couldn't play, and he still lived in the style of Xiaolongnu.
Love Brain
I think there is no one in the entertainment industry who is more suitable for these three words than Li Ruotong.
Judging from Li Ruotong's growth trajectory, she has hardly worried about anything except her feelings.
When she was a child, her family environment was not good, but her parents and sisters also loved her very much;
In school, she studies very well, and she is still the class president, so she naturally has a deterrent effect;
When I grew up, I was admitted to the flight attendant exam very smoothly, and I didn't take the initiative to fight for any scripts when I decided to act, and the two most popular ones were because the producer felt that she was very suitable to take the initiative to come to the door.
Li Ruotong has had a smooth ride in his life, and the most frustrated thing is his feelings.
Little three turmoil
Li Ruotong is a person with little ambition, she has been a flight attendant for five years, and she has never thought of changing jobs if she is famous in filming, if it weren't for the company's impersonal taste, she would still be working as a flight attendant.
In the vanity fair of the entertainment industry, Li Ruotong didn't want to climb up in the past, nor did he think about who to climb.
Every time she hears people around her mention that xxx won the movie, xxx filmed xxx, and xxx was paid, her heart did not fluctuate.
But you said that xxx and her boyfriend are married, Li Ruotong will have a feeling of envy in her heart.
That year, Li Ruotong's boyfriend Ji Tiansheng was suddenly picked up by the media that he was married in the United States and even had a son.
Li Ruotong was already on the cusp because of her role as the Little Dragon Girl, but now she was splashed with a lot of dirty water.
In fact, no one knows about Ji Tiansheng's marriage, and everyone in the crew thinks they are ordinary couples, and even Li Ruotong himself thinks so.
This emotional injury really hurt Li Ruotong enough, but it still can't compare to the hurt caused by the ten-year relationship.
In 1998, Li Ruotong met the wealthy businessman Guo Yingquan, and during that time, the wealthy businessman was actually on the verge of bankruptcy, but Li Ruotong did everything to help him return to the mall.
Li Ruotong's love is to ignore a person and be full of eyes.
With Li Ruotong's help, the wealthy businessman Guo Yingquan soon became a wealthy businessman again, and after he had status, he began to ask Li Ruotong.
He didn't like women to show up, so Li Ruotong really gave up acting and returned to the family to wash his hands and make soup.
Li Ruotong changed himself little by little for Guo Yingquan, but Guo Yingquan was not moved at all, he only felt that this was what he should be.
Just after Li Ruotong gave up everything and finally turned himself into Li Ruotong who belonged to Guo Yingquan alone, this man turned his back on Li Ruotong.
Ten years of companionship helped tolerance become an empty place, and Li Ruotong almost suffered from severe depression.
Maybe it's because Li Ruotong has grown a lot in middle age, and this year Li Ruotong finally understands that he can only rely on himself in this world.
Li Ruotong, who only woke up at the age of 42, returned to the showbiz, took on dramas, appeared in variety shows, and interacted with fans.
Status
Not long ago today, at the event site of the Chinese Film Big Data Honor Night, Li Ruotong was participating in the event, and a netizen shouted that her aunt was heard by her.
Li Ruotong's kind and gentle smile still brought many people's memories back to the days when "The Condor Heroes" was broadcast.
Judging from the performance of everyone in the comment area, there are still many people who are still angry about the evil deeds committed by Yin Zhiping at that time.
This is not a proof that Li Ruotong's role was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Li Ruotong is 57 years old this year, but he is still in good shape, facing questions from the media: Will you still have expectations for marriage in the future?
Her answer now is also a lot more open: let it be, don't expect but don't resist.

Douyin-Li Ruotong was called "aunt" at the event site, and she looked back in one second to reproduce the classic moments of "The Condor Heroes".
