On May 11, 2009, a seemingly ordinary house in Taipei City was broken down by the police, presenting a gruesome picture. On the big bed in the room, a cold corpse lay quietly, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was suffocating.
A disgusting smell surrounded the corpse, and there seemed to be endless despair in the air.
The owner of this body is none other than the once smash hit Taiwanese actress Liu Yupu. After on-site investigation and forensic examination, she has been away from the world for three full days. The scene of his death is chilling—his body is covered in horrific corpse spots, his face is distorted by death, and his former grace and appearance are gone.
Recalling 15 years ago, Liu Yupu can be described as a household name. She rose to fame with the role of "Zhao Min" in the 1984 costume drama "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", and became one of the most outstanding representatives of interpreting this classic role.
However, the most suffocating sigh is that the image of this peerless beauty who has been overwhelmed by countless fans is so bleak when she is dying. Three days after she left alone, no one knew about it, until the neighbor was disturbed by the constant stench and had to call the police for help, and the tragic scene was revealed.
Although Liu Yupu lived in fine clothes and food before her death, what kind of haze is hidden behind her life? Let's start from this harrowing ending, deeply analyze her past experience and inner world, and explore why this once smash hit actress embarked on this road of no return.
In the eyes of onlookers, Liu Yupu was born in a glamorous military family, with a superior family background and a bright future. However, this seemingly happy family background actually brought her a lifelong psychological wound.
Liu Yupu has been tortured by his father's cold violence since he was a child. Her father was irascible and often used to beat people, while her mother was aloof and unresponsive to her husband's actions.
In such a cold and violent environment, the young Liu Yupu gradually lost his self-esteem and self-confidence.
Once, when the young Liu Yupu was bathing, her father, who came home drunk, broke into the bathroom without any scruples, punched her, and strictly forbade her to lock it from then on.
As an adolescent girl, the depth of her mental trauma can be seen when she encounters such an injury.
In such a harsh family environment, Liu Yupu had no choice but to protect himself by escaping. When she was 18 years old, she was fortunately discovered by discerning talent scouts and successfully stepped into the entertainment industry, trying to find her own piece of sky on this seemingly gorgeous and brilliant stage.
However, the glamour of appearances often cannot hide the deep wounds of the soul. Although he has made some small achievements in his career, the haze in Liu Yupu's heart has never been dissipated.
This kind of unworthy glory is destined to not heal the scars in her heart, but makes her even more lonely and confused.
It is these unforgettable childhood experiences that quietly shaped Liu Yupu's sensitive, suspicious, and self-questioning inner character, laying the groundwork for her tragic fate in the future.
A life that should be radiant will inevitably escape the merciless tricks of fate after all.
In the eyes of everyone, Liu Yupu is undoubtedly a bright new star in the entertainment industry. She is not only a high-profile film and television superstar, but also because of her outstanding performance in the 1984 costume drama "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", she successfully created the role of "Zhao Min" and became a well-known classic role.
At that time, she not only had an extraordinary temperament, bright and radiant, but also won the love of the audience with her sweet and lovely image, and could be called one of the most classic representatives of "Zhao Min" in history. Her fresh and elegant face, coupled with the heroic and chic image of a white dress, made countless audiences fall in love with it and be unforgettable.
In addition to this masterpiece that established his status, Liu Yupu has also participated in many film and television dramas since then, such as "Three Shaolin", "Butcher", "Gold Powder Family", etc., which can be said to be in the limelight, and his career has reached its peak.
However, just when she was a smash hit and admired by thousands of people, Liu Yupu's inner world had already fallen into an endless dark abyss. The superficial glory, wealth and achievements can't hide her inner troubles and despair.
At the age of 22, Liu Yupu met Zhang Jianzhong, who was a pastor in the church. Zhang Jianzhong cared for her very much, which made Liu Yupu, who had been lacking care for a long time, deeply intoxicated, so she married him without hesitation and quickly gave birth to two daughters.
However, happy times are always short-lived. Soon after marriage, Zhang Jianzhong seemed to be a different person, and began to speak ill of Liu Yupu, and quarrels and domestic violence became commonplace.
This plunged Liu into extreme pain and despair, and she began to suffer from severe depression.
Since then, Liu Yupu has been caught in a fierce conflict between career success and the darkness of his inner world. All her original glorious achievements seem to have lost their original brilliance at the peak, and have been replaced by unbearable psychological torture.
The unhappiness of the marriage is like adding insult to injury, making Liu Yupu fall into the purgatory of the soul. Soon after the marriage, her husband Zhang Jianzhong's attitude changed drastically, and he began to treat him with indifference, and domestic violence became commonplace.
This caused Liu Yupu to fall into extreme despair, and eventually suffered from severe depression. Depression is like a sharp sword, cutting off Liu Yupu's love and hope for life. She began to feel a deep sense of hopelessness about life and the world at large, and self-harm and suicide attempts became the only way for her to vent this hopelessness.
Cutting wrists, swallowing medicine, jumping into the sea...... Liu Yupu tried almost every possible way to end his life. She once said lightly: "I have been committing suicide, my parents who gave birth to me don't love me, and even the husband who has been with me for 20 years treats me like this, I can't believe that there are still people in this world who really love me."
In just three months, her weight plummeted by 14 kilograms, and she was on the verge of physical and mental collapse. However, even those closest to her turned a blind eye to her condition. Zhang Jianzhong, who learned of his wife's illness, resolutely opposed her receiving professional treatment under the pretext that "the pastor's wife suffers from depression and is difficult to talk about."
Liu Yupu is so lonely and helpless, and can only face the temptation of death alone again and again. Her eyes gradually dimmed, her behavior became extremely strange, and she lost interest in everything in the outside world.
This former heroic "Zhao Min" is gradually moving towards the end of his life. Seeing her despair and struggle, everyone was heartbroken and resentful, but helpless.
It wasn't until the moment the body was found that Liu Yupu's tragic fate was truly revealed to the world. On May 11, 2009, in an ordinary house in Taipei City, a neighbor could not stand the constant stench and had to call the police for help.
When police arrived at the scene, they found a shocking scene inside the bedroom.
A cold corpse lay quietly on the bed, long since lost its vitality. The corpse was covered with horrific corpse spots, and the facial expression was distorted beyond recognition by death, and the former grace and appearance were gone.
There was a rich, pungent smell of decay throughout the room, as if there was still a lingering afterglow of despair in the air.
According to the rigorous on-site identification of the forensic doctor, the body has been left for three days. It is initially speculated that the cause of his death was a heart attack, but many people questioned whether Liu Yupu chose to swallow a large amount of sleeping pills alone to end his life in loneliness and despair.
After all, just the day before he died, that is, on Mother's Day, Liu Yupu also specially dialed the phone number of his mother, who had not been in contact for many years, to greet him. Was this call a cry of despair, or was it a farewell to this cruel world? Sadly, we will never be able to find out the truth again.
Everything quiet in the room is just a testimony of Liu Yupu's lonely and hesitant last moments. The peerless beauty who was once admired by countless people can only tell her misfortune and despair in life with this bleak and hideous face.
Liu Yupu's tragic ending was like a thunderbolt from the sky, shaking the hearts of all those who knew and loved her deeply. This once smash hit and eye-catching superstar left so quietly, which broke everyone's hearts.
What is even more sad is that her death has once again aroused the great concern of the whole society about the stubborn disease of depression. Depression is not simply a "low mood" or "personality defect", but a real illness that causes endless physical and mental pain to sufferers.
Everyone's life trajectory is unique and irreproducible. For Liu Yupu, she grew up in an environment full of cold violence, and her self-esteem and self-confidence suffered a heavy blow.
After stepping into the entertainment industry, the aura of fame and fortune is just a thin veil that hides problems, and it cannot heal the deep wounds in your heart.
The ensuing married life is even worse, and the former sweetness quickly transforms into a cage of despair. Her husband was not only indifferent, but even often inflicted domestic violence, which put her in a desperate situation.
The outburst of depression became the straw that broke the camel's back, causing her to seek relief again and again in despair.
Liu Yupu's death is like a shocking bell, ringing on the social land, shattering our paralysis and indifference to depression! We must face this problem with a more tolerant and empathetic attitude, convey endless care and professional assistance to those who are suffering from spiritual distress, oppose treating them with misunderstanding and fear, and strive to fill our society with more humane light and warmth.
Only in this way can we prevent all these tragedies from happening again, and prevent more young lives from withering away like flowers on the other side. Liu Yupu's eternal departure will surely become a long-lasting alarm bell, always reminding us to pay attention to mental health and cherish every fresh life.
