Preface
I don't know if you still remember Siqin Gaowa? This famous actor who has won many heavyweight awards such as the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award once swept the Chinese film and television circle. With her excellent stage talent and excellent acting skills, Siqin Gaowa has played classic roles many times, leaving us with countless unforgettable scenes.
The legend has not ended, and the hardships have not ended
At the age of 74, she is still passionate about acting and has a passion for the stage and the camera. Just last year, she just finished filming a new film. Although Siqin Gaowa, who is over the age of six, has been a little sluggish, she is still shining as soon as she comes on the field, and the typhoon has not diminished that year.
Who would have thought that after the completion of this drama, Siqin Gaowa suffered the heaviest blow in her life. On February 28, 2022, her husband, the famous musician Chen Liangsheng, passed away in Switzerland.
Siqin Chen Liang is a loving "model couple" who have been together for more than 30 years. After many years of marriage, the relationship between the two is still the same, sweet and harmonious. Seeing the death of her beloved husband, how did Siqin Gaowa accept this merciless blow? Under the heavy physical and mental damage, she chose to return to China and began the lonely years of living alone for the rest of her life.
Marriage and love are full of twists and turns
Siqin Gaowa's marriage road in her life can be described as full of thorns. Her first two marriages were rocky and ill-fated. At the age of 16, the young Siqin Gaowa was promised by her family to her first husband Sun Tianxiang. Due to their young age and lack of understanding of marriage, the relationship between the two was unstable, and Sun Tianxiang had a tendency to domestic violence, so they finally parted ways 8 years later.
The following year, Siqin Gaowa met her second husband, the young and promising translator Ao Xingchen. The two fell in love at first sight, and soon became husband and wife after falling in love. But the good times didn't last long, and soon after marriage, Siqin Gaowa's career progressed by leaps and bounds, and her status quickly rose higher than that of her husband, which caused conflicts and jealousy, and the marriage broke down.
It wasn't until the age of 36 that Siqin Gaowa married the Swiss-Chinese musician Chen Liangsheng, and the two experienced a plain and happy 30-year married life. But fate was ruthless after all, Chen Liangsheng died, leaving Siqin Gaowa alone to face the rest of her life.
In addition to the bumpy road of love, Siqin Gaowa's family life is also quite tortuous and turbulent.
In her early years, Siqin Gaowa, who was from a poor family, had only one son, but because of the influence of her father, Sun Tianxiang's domestic violence tendencies, she committed a crime at the age of 13 and was sentenced to prison. As a mother, Siqin Gaowa was haunted by this and blamed herself.
Although the career has been successful, the trauma of the family seems to have never stopped. Siqin Gaowa, who is over seventy years old, can only live alone in China now, with leg disease aggravating and mobility difficulties, and relying on her family to take care of her. She has experienced too much helplessness and hardship in life.
Siqin Gaowa's life is a magnificent life drama. When she was glorious, she was the eternal "Siqin Gaowa" with a single pear blossom and outstanding temperament, leaving us an immortal classic image.
The years have obliterated her former brilliance, but her passion and perseverance still shine brightly. The 74-year-old Siqin Gaowa is still filming, persistently living in her dreams. Undoubtedly, for a generation of artists, work is her tenacious and enduring vitality.
Siqin Gaowa's legendary life allows us to see the darkness behind the sunshine and the hardships and helplessness of the road to success. A generation of goddesses will also grow old and be mercilessly tormented by fate, but as long as they are persistent in love, life will always be full of brilliance.
The artist is bold and fearless all his life
Looking back on Siqin Gaowa's legendary life, it is not difficult for us to find that she is a woman who dares to pursue her dreams and challenge herself. Born in an ordinary family in Inner Mongolia, she has shown extraordinary artistic talent since she was a child. At the age of 13, Siqin Gaowa had already practiced a unique national dance skill, and was hired by the Inner Mongolia Song and Dance Troupe to start her own artistic path.
At the age of 16, she married her first husband Sun Tianxiang, who was still young and had little social experience, but Siqin Gaowa was not bound by marriage. In her early 20s, she was determined to challenge the film and television industry alone and pursue her career development.
This dedication to her dreams has cost Siqin Gaowa a considerable price. For the sake of her career, she had to leave behind her arrogant husband and young children and go to the capital to fight. Working hard alone in the unfamiliar Beijing, she endured all kinds of hardships and cold treatments, but she never wavered.
In this way, Siqin Gaowa slowly came out and starred in many excellent film and television works. With the classic film "Camel Xiangzi" starring in 1982, she won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress in one fell swoop and started the peak of her career.
In the more than 20 years since then, Siqin Gaowa has been a smash hit, and she has starred in a series of classic plays such as "Red Sorghum" and "The Road to the Sky", and has won the highest level of actor awards many times.
However, a generation of grandmasters will inevitably be ruthlessly eroded by the years. After entering the new century, Siqin Gaowa's wonderful performances became less and less, and she mainly relied on revisiting classic works to maintain her livelihood and prestige. Despite this, she still maintains an unflinching passion for acting.
has survived many obstacles such as family conflicts, career troughs, and physical disabilities, and now Siqin Gaowa, who is past her prime, is still bravely present. This never-ending artist spirit is worthy of learning and admiration from each of us.
The years are merciless, and humanity shines
Siqin Gaowa's story is certainly moving, but her life has also given us many human issues worth pondering. For example, Siqin Gaowa was twice subjected to domestic violence by her husband, which made her wary of love and marriage. Later, the marriage with Chen Liangsheng was commendable, but it also made Siqin Gaowa a little "extreme".
According to people around her, Siqin Gaowa in her later years had a certain dependence and possession of her husband Chen Liangsheng, and was unwilling to part with him at all. The two are like glue, and they are so close that they are "entangled with each other". Some people commented that this state of "the dog hazy the owner" not only exposes the shadow of Siqin Gaowa's trauma to the first two marriages, but also reflects her importance and attachment to her marriage in her later years.
Siqin Gaowa's living situation in her later years in China alone has also triggered a reflection on filial piety and family affection in society. We know that her only child was imprisoned in his early years because of his father's influence, which dealt a heavy blow to his mother. Although the son has returned to the right path, he does not seem to be able to be filial and take care of his mother well.
Siqin Gaowa, who lives alone, can only rely on hired caregivers, and her life in her later years seems a little lonely and desolate. As the national goddess once upon a time, her family status really makes people sigh that the world is impermanent.
But for Siqin Gaowa, perhaps the stage and career are the foundation of her lifelong pursuit. As she herself said: "I live to perform." This pure love of art is the source of strength that sustains her through difficult times.
In life, people will inevitably encounter setbacks and suffering. It is through her persistence in her dreams that Siqin Gaowa has found the courage and strength to deal with the ups and downs of life. As ordinary people, should we also be like this, igniting the light of life with enthusiasm and perseverance?
