1. A generation of classics is eternal, and the image of "Sister Lin" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people
Chen Xiaoxu's sudden death undoubtedly brought endless sorrow to the audience. However, the hit of the 1986 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" instantly became popular with many leading actors in the drama, and this drama also sat firmly on the classic seat and was unshakable.
In this work, which can be called the pinnacle of drama, the image of Lin Daiyu created by Chen Xiaoxu has undoubtedly become the most talked-about topic in people's mouths.
Her superb acting skills make the image of this emotional, arrogant and independent sister Lin vivid, which is deeply imprinted in the hearts of every audience. Chen Xiaoxu is naturally beautiful, and his external demeanor and inner sentiment are the same as Lin Daiyu's, so he can be called the best candidate to play this role perfectly.
With her short life course, she presents us with a beautiful image of "Sister Lin", and this unique and charming style is unforgettable.
2. Remembering the woman with outstanding artistic talent and otherworldly temperament
Looking back on Chen Xiaoxu's growth path, it is not difficult for us to understand why she can become the best candidate for Lin Daiyu. In 1965, Chen Xiaoxu was born into an artistic family, and his mother Wang Yuanxi was a well-known dancer.
Under the influence of such a strong artistic atmosphere, Chen Xiaoxu has shown extraordinary artistic talent and temperament since he was a child, which is deeply admired by his mother.
Wang Yuanxi recalled that Chen Xiaoxu in his childhood was like a small copy of himself, with the same facial features, which made people marvel at the magic of genetics. Under the careful teaching of his mother, Chen Xiaoxu learned to behave elegantly and decently from an early age, as if he was born for stage performances.
Her round and fair childhood face, matched with the almost perfect proportion of facial features, exudes an otherworldly fresh temperament, like an elf fairy.
Even if she was wearing simple coarse cloth printed clothes, she couldn't hide the dusty fairy aura on her body.
Therefore, when Chen Xiaoxu learned that "Dream of Red Mansions" was recruiting actors as an adult, she did not hesitate to sign up. Because she was deeply attracted by Lin Daiyu's ethereal and delicate image, she firmly believed that her natural temperament was the best person to play this role.
She poured all her effort into completing a passionate self-recommendation letter, and at the same time carefully selected a real and sincere personal photo without makeup, and sent it to the crew director, looking forward to the opportunity to show her talent and realize her dream.
Happily, the youthful and vigorous atmosphere and fresh and natural quality shown in the photo immediately touched the director's heart, Chen Xiaoxu was immediately invited to audition, and finally won the role of Lin Daiyu that she dreamed of.
3. A chance chance kicked off a dramatic prelude to her life
For Chen Xiaoxu, being able to play the role of Lin Daiyu, whom he loves deeply, is undoubtedly a major task that requires all efforts to strive for. In order to achieve this goal, she did not hesitate to submit a job application to the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions".
First, she wrote a passionate cover letter that revealed her love and dedication to the role. Subsequently, she deliberately mailed a personal photo without makeup to the director team, hoping to show her unique temperament in line with the role in this way.
In the photo, even Chen Xiaoxu, who is just dressed up without makeup, can't hide her otherworldly ethereal temperament. The face is full of youthful vitality and pure simplicity, like the incarnation of Sister Lin from real life.
This photo instantly attracted the director, and he decisively decided to let Chen Xiaoxu come to audition for the role of Lin Daiyu.
As expected, Chen Xiaoxu's performance in the audition was perfect, originally just an insignificant supporting role, but with her firm belief and superb acting skills, she finally succeeded in winning the coveted role of Lin Daiyu.
In this way, a seemingly ordinary registration process opened the most dramatic page in Chen Xiaoxu's life.
She used the experience of the second half of her life to prove the blessings and curses that this role brought her. The price of fame is to be bound by a fixed image and stagnate in her career, and to become an eternal Lin Daiyu also makes her life as undulating as this tragic character, and finally bids farewell to the world in a detached attitude.
Fourth, the shackles of the image of "Sister Lin" have put the career in trouble
As soon as the 1986 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" was broadcast, it quickly witnessed the overnight explosion of several leading actors in the play. This TV series is also firmly on the throne of classics, and no one can match it.
However, for Chen Xiaoxu, the price of fame also accompanies her.
Chen Xiaoxu's superb acting skills vividly interpret the image of Lin Daiyu, so deep into the bone marrow that the audience can't help but put on the glasses of "Sister Lin" when appreciating the other roles she plays, and it is difficult to get a glimpse of her true side.
This kind of burden brought by the role is like an invisible shackle, restricting and shackling Chen Xiaoxu's future acting career.
Even though she wants to try to break through herself and play a new role, what the audience sees is still the shadow of the familiar Sister Lin that appears in front of her from time to time, and it is difficult to accept her other appearances.
After a long time, Chen Xiaoxu herself felt anxious and tired, and seeing that her career could no longer climb to new heights, she resolutely decided to leave the entertainment industry and devote herself to the business field.
Fifth, Chen Xiaoxu in middle age, although his figure is slightly plump, his charm is still there, and he is charming. Her beautiful and refined temperament is still difficult to hide, and she seems to be the Lin Daiyu who walked out of the book.
Middle-aged, her face is like a blooming white lotus, pure and noble, and her demeanor reveals a kind of loneliness and coldness, just like Sister Lin's scholarly temperament.
However, fate does not seem to favor this beautiful woman. First of all, her emotional life suffered a setback, and when she was about to regroup and devote herself to her career again, a sudden breast cancer was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, completely destroying her.
For former stars, breast cancer is undoubtedly a heavy blow Chen Xiaoxu has always cherished her beauty, but now she has to face the disability of her body, which is difficult for her to bear.
Looking at her hair gradually falling out, her physical condition deteriorated day by day, and she began to feel that her future was bleak, and she even lost her confidence in survival.
Just as she was in deep pain, the idea of becoming a nun crept into her heart, and she longed to seek solace in Buddhism to repair her physical and mental wounds.
So, accompanied by her husband Hao Tong praying for her day and night, Chen Xiaoxu put on a monk's robe, walked into the monastery, and reverently burned incense and chanted sutras, expecting to receive the blessing and forgiveness of the Buddha. However, fate was irresistible after all, the disease was ruthless and unjust, and after Chen Xiaoxu made this wrong choice, it also took away her precious life.
Whenever I recall Ms. Chen Xiaoxu of that era, I can't help but connect her with the tragic fate of Lin Daiyu. It is surprising to find that the life course of the two women is the same, and even both of them have an otherworldly posture, elegantly choosing to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world, as if two never-intersecting destiny tracks are quietly converging in the endless river of time at this moment.
Moreover, Ms. Chen Xiaoxu herself seems to have successfully created and shown the image of Sister Lin in her long life.
