Preamble:
How many people can withstand the ups and downs of the entertainment industry?
Life is like a play, and drama is like life.
For Hong Kong actress Kwan Xiumei, her life is also like a drama with ups and downs.
Once upon a time, she was the glamorous "big brother's woman" on the screen, standing side by side with Andy Lau; Who would have thought that she would also be imprisoned and fall into a low point in her life.
And her entanglement with director Wang Jing and her boyfriend Li Shangwen is even more embarrassing.
Now, Guan Xiumei, who has been out of the film for many years, has reappeared, revealing that she has divorced Li Shangwen, and even revealed that her comeback is imminent.
What kind of life has this once powerful actress experienced? Let's walk into the story of Guan Xiumei.
work-study, forced by life to step into the entertainment industry
Kwan was born in 1966 and grew up in an ordinary family in Hong Kong.
His father was an ordinary worker, and his mother was a vendor in a vegetable market, and the family's livelihood was stretched.
Guan Xiumei has understood since she was a child that she must work hard to get out of poverty.
After graduating from junior high school, in order to reduce the burden on her family, Guan Xiumei resolutely stepped into the society and became a fitness dance teacher.
Facing the mirror every day to teach students dance, the boring life day after day has not erased her yearning for a better life.
In the dance, Guan Xiumei trained her figure to become more slender and graceful, and she secretly made up her mind that one day she would make a name for herself.
At that time, the hottest beauty pageant in the Hong Kong entertainment industry was none other than "Miss Hong Kong".
Countless beautiful girls have passed through this stage, either marrying into wealthy families or entering the film industry.
Guan Xiumei also has illusions and is determined to go all out and get on this much-anticipated stage.
However, the ideal is plump, but the reality is extremely skinny.
participated in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant for the first time, Guan Xiumei returned home with a feather and failed to even enter the top 12 finals.
In the same competition, there was also a girl named Qiu Shuzhen, who was also deeply entangled with Guan Xiumei in the future.
Although she missed the "Hong Kong sister", Guan Xiumei's beauty was still favored by TVB, and then signed a contract to become its artist.
In this way, with the longing for the dream of an actor, Guan Xiumei officially stepped into the colorful but undercurrent world of the entertainment industry.
ran the trick for several years, until he met Wang Jing
Guan Xiumei, who has just entered the entertainment industry, has to learn everything from scratch.
She humbly asks for advice and puts in several times more effort than ordinary people.
However, TV stations value a newcomer's talent and background more.
Guan Xiumei has no professional background, let alone a prominent family background, so she can only silently play tricks in the crew and occasionally show her face.
At that time, the Hong Kong entertainment industry was full of beauties and fierce competition, and Guan Xiumei, who was only in her early twenties, quickly realized that beauty alone was not enough.
She began to hone her acting skills hard, and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to participate in physical training, just to be able to transform as soon as possible and shine on the screen.
The hard work paid off, and over the years, Guan Xiumei's figure has become more and more concave and convex, and her temperament has become more and more charming.
She has more opportunities to show her face in some film and television works, although there are not many scenes, but her graceful posture and smart eyes have seen the demeanor of an actress for the first time.
Coincidentally, Guan Xiumei at this time happened to attract the attention of the famous director Wang Jing.
Wang Jing is the grandmaster of Hong Kong cinema, and he favored Kwan Xiumei, which made her stand out on the silver screen.
At first, Guan Xiumei's role in Wang Jing's movie was quite marginal, but with her good performance, she was gradually loved by the audience.
With the blessing of a famous director and a bright future, Guan Xiumei's career seems to be on the right track.
However, Wang Jing's "preference" is sometimes not a good thing.
Previously, Wang Jing had praised Qiu Shuzhen and made her popular, and the two also had an unclear relationship.
But in the end, Qiu Shuzhen, who was like-minded, left Wang Jing and married a wealthy businessman.
Qiu Shuzhen's departure made Wang Jing turn her attention to Guan Xiumei, which was both an opportunity and a hidden worry for her.
became an instant hit with "The King of Thieves", and his career reached its peak
Guan Xiumei appeared more and more frequently in Wang Jing's movies, and the relationship between the two became more and more delicate.
In 1995, Kwan Xiumei played the heroine in the action movie "The King of Thieves", and staged a thrilling and lingering love-hate relationship with Leung Ka-fai.
The success of the film has won her a huge reputation and she has become a popular actress in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
But who would have expected that just when her career was in full swing, Guan Xiumei unexpectedly announced her retirement.
She put all her net worth into business, but soon fell into financial trouble due to her lack of business acumen and experience.
Guan Xiumei had to make a comeback, and Wang Jing, who had been holding her before, extended a "helping hand" to her in a timely manner.
Guan Xiumei has seen through the entertainment industry and does not want to repeat Qiu Shuzhen's mistakes.
She has become more aware of the situation and uses her charm to attract Wang Jing.
Soon, the relationship between the two became more and more intimate, and Guan Xiumei became the "Jing Girl".
With her unique beauty and maturing acting skills, she ushered in the second spring of her career.
In 1998, Guan Xiumei cooperated with actor Andy Lau in the police film "Dragon in the Rivers and Lakes", in which she played Ruby in control of the gangsters, sexy and charming and domineering, shocking the four seats.
This role earned her the title of "Big Brother's Woman" and her popularity rose to the next level.
Since then, under the support of Wang Jing, Kwan Xiumei has launched a number of acclaimed and acclaimed movies, firmly sitting on the throne of the queen of Hong Kong films.
However, under the glamorous appearance, Guan Xiumei's inner fatigue and hesitation are growing.
Career and love are in full swing, and her material life can be called extravagant, but her enthusiasm for acting is losing little by little.
No one knows that this seemingly indestructible strong woman has actually been living in a deep sense of insecurity.
She began to indulge herself, lingering in bars and other places.
Until one day, an accident completely broke her.
The drunk driving scandal was exposed, and the popularity of the jailer fell to the bottom
In 2002, after a night of hangover, Kwan Xiumei and her friend Huang Zhicong drove out, but there was a car accident halfway.
In the face of police interrogation, she instinctively chose to let her companion carry the bag, in an attempt to evade responsibility.
However, the truth is still revealed to the world, Guan Xiumei was arrested for drunk driving, and the lawyer team tried their best to rescue her.
In 2003, Guan Xiumei was sentenced to 14 days in prison, which seemed to be a watershed in her life.
The actress, who was once loved by thousands of people, was tormented in prison.
The days in prison made Guan Xiumei reflect on herself, and she began to understand the cruelty and ruthlessness of Vanity Fair.
After being released from prison, she found that everything had changed, the audience no longer admired her, fans had left, and the former glory had disappeared overnight.
Wang Jing, the man who helped her so much, is also drifting away at this time.
In 2004, Wang Jing had a new female companion.
Guan Xiumei could only watch their affection and lick her wounds silently.
She began to date frequently, but she could never find her true heart again.
Until she met the actor Li Shangwen, who was seven years younger than her, the two became attached to the play and quickly fell in love.
Although she has been in love for several years and has a stable relationship, Guan Xiumei has never been able to enter the palace of marriage.
In 2008, after she took over the filming of "Rainstorm Pear Blossom", she announced her complete withdrawal from the entertainment industry.
Since then, this once powerful actress has disappeared, as if the world has evaporated.
No one knows what joys and sorrows she has experienced over the years.
reappeared after many years, revealing that a divorce comeback is imminent
The years are ruthless, and more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye.
In April 2024, at Zeng Zhiwei's 71st birthday banquet, Guan Xiumei rarely appeared in front of everyone.
Her demeanor is still the same, but it has added a vicissitudes of life.
Talking about the recent situation over the years, Guan Xiumei just said lightly that she has some new activities and is in the preparation stage.
In an interview a few days later, in the face of reporters' questions, Guan Xiumei broke the shocking news: it turned out that she and Li Shangwen, who had been in love for many years, had divorced.
She admitted frankly that few people knew that they had ever been married, and now that they said it, they could be regarded as untying the knot.
As for the reason for the breakup, Guan Xiumei didn't say a word, and her face showed a trace of melancholy.
From a pretty girl to a darling in the film industry, and then to an outdated star who fell off the altar, Guan Xiumei's life has been full of ups and downs, which is embarrassing.
Once upon a time, she stood side by side with Andy Lau, loving and sweet; Who would have thought that she would be reduced to prison and infamy.
When the love field is proud, the spring breeze is proud, and the career is successful but life and death are parted.
This is a portrayal of Guan Xiumei's life.
Epilogue:
And now, Guan Xiumei chooses to start anew and say goodbye to everything in the past.
Perhaps, after experiencing the warmth and coldness of the world, she has looked down on the vicissitudes of the world.
No matter how many thorns and bumps lie ahead, this former actress must rise to the occasion and regain her own brilliance.
We believe that her life will be able to bloom again.
Reinvigorate and create brilliance, and may all those who have experienced hardships reap their own exports and hopes.
Let us bless Kwan Xiumei, bless all the warriors who have fallen, and may you all get back on your feet and welcome a new life.
