introduction
She can be said to be at the peak of her debut, partnered with Leslie Cheung in her first work, and won the first Miss Asia championship in one fell swoop.
However, she chose to marry someone during the popular period of her career, and the person she chose to marry was still a "domestic violence man" and "murderer", but she had no hesitation, but after marriage, her life fell into darkness, and her husband exposed his true colors and constantly cheated on domestic violence.
So what kind of choices would she make in the face of such a life, and what is her life like now?
A natural actor
Li Yanshan's parents are ordinary fish sellers, and there are many brothers and sisters in the family, so they live very poorly, Li Yanshan needs to help her parents work since she was a child, although she was born in a poor family, but Li Yanshan's appearance is very outstanding, and she has been a beauty since she was a child.
At that time, the Hong Kong film and television industry was in a period of development, Shaw Brothers Pictures vigorously developed film and television works, and Li Yanshan signed a contract with Shaw Brothers by chance because of her outstanding appearance.
After signing the contract, Li Yanshan carried out film and television shooting, and her first work was to cooperate with Leslie Cheung, such an opportunity is precious, but Li Yanshan, a fledgling little girl, got it easily, but Li Yanshan did not cherish the opportunity because it was easy, she was diligent in the filming process, and her predecessors were optimistic.
However, in the era of the "immortals" fighting at that time, although Li Yanshan had such an opportunity, it was not easy to reach a certain height, and after a few years of hard work, she was still not very famous, but at this time, an opportunity once again fell on Li Yanshan's head.
In 1985, the first Miss Asia was held, and Li Yanshan made up her mind to participate, at that time, Miss Asia was held by ATV TV, but Li Yanshan signed a contract with Shaw Brothers at that time, which was actually a bit troublesome, but at that time, the boss lady of Shaw Brothers did not embarrass Li Yanshan after learning about the situation, but let her participate in the competition.
Li Yanshan estimated that she didn't expect it to be so easy, and in the Miss Asia contest, she passed all the way to the finals, and also won the championship of the first Miss Asia.
ATV also took advantage of the popularity of Miss Asia and began to support Li Yanshan.
Li Yanshan can be seen in the company's large and small activities, and the TV series "Xi Shi" tailored for her.
In the TV series "Xi Shi", Li Yanshan plays the protagonist Xi Shi, her makeup in it is gentle and atmospheric, and at the same time she does not lose her agility.
As soon as the "Xi Shi" TV series was broadcast, it received a lot of praise, and was also rated as "the most beautiful Xi Shi", this TV series has also accumulated a lot of fame for Li Yanshan, and ATV has filmed a number of TV series for it while the iron is hot, "Love Sword Mountains and Rivers", "Manchu Thirteen Dynasty" and other TV series are starring her.
In 1988, Li Yanshan's contract with ATV expired, and she chose to challenge herself again and enter the film industry.
However, at the peak of her career, Li Yanshan insisted on marrying Liu Yong, and in the face of everyone's dissuasion, Li Yanshan insisted on going her own way and did not listen to the dissuasion, so Li Yanshan and Liu Yong entered the palace of marriage in 1922.
Unhappy marriage
Li Yanshan and Liu Yong's marriage is destined to be unhappy, because Liu Yong himself has a hot temper and has a marriage before that.
In fact, it was not for nothing that everyone dissuaded Li Yanshan before getting married, although Liu Yong was the second generation of stars in the entertainment industry at that time, and played many TV series, he was a popular student, and his appearance was also very outstanding, but Liu Yong's personality was extremely hot.
Liu Yong had a marriage with Dai Liangchun in the 80s, but after only one year of marriage, Liu Yong abused Dai Liangchun for some reasons, and was ruthless, almost wanting Dai Liangchun's life, Dai Liangchun's parents sued him for attempted murder, and the local court also made a judgment, and finally the two reconciled and divorced outside the court.
That is to say, Liu Yong has a history of "attempted murder", and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a "murderer".
But Li Yanshan was unmoved, thinking that Liu Yong was the husband in her heart, so she married Liu Yong without hesitation, but her married life was not happy, although the two gave birth to a son and a daughter, but Liu Yong's irascible personality broke out after marriage and began to abuse Li Yanshan.
Li Yanshan couldn't bear it and filed for divorce in 2000, but she did not divorce directly for some reasons until 2004, when the marriage between the two ended hastily, and after the divorce, Liu Yong didn't care about Li Yanshan and her two children, Li Yanshan could only sell insurance for the sake of the family and maintain the family's livelihood.
Don't admit defeat and start again
After many years of divorce, Li Yanshan picked up her previous acting career again, began to work as a host, and joined TVB in 2017 to participate in TVB's TV series.
Later, when Li Yanshan participated in a movie event in 2019, she said that she had been bullied when she debuted, when she was only 16 years old, and she cooperated with a Golden Horse Award actor.
But at that time, she was a fledgling little girl, and in the face of such bullying, she resisted at all, so she could only make compromises.
But after a thousand sails, now Li Yanshan just wants to do her own thing, she has starred in many TVB TV series, and her acting skills are not lost back then.
In 2024, Li Yanshan's TV series "The Deity is in Place" and "After Marriage" will be broadcast, and Li Yanshan's performance can still be seen in it.
