There is a saying that goes, "Don't say you are a big official in Beijing, and don't say that you have money in Shanghai", because you never know who is standing around you when you have to be in trouble.
Every seemingly ordinary person has his own extraordinary past, and when you are complacent, perhaps others are secretly laughing.
When you laugh at other people's old age and decline, but forget that others have also been young, and when you are old, are others so dashing now? When you flaunt how successful you are today, do you ever think that others may be high-ranking people who have been retired for many years?
There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people. Looking at today's showbiz, the bright resumes of the little fresh meat, always think that they are very remarkable, the assistant carries the bag, the bodyguard opens the road, do not know that the emperor is out of the palace?
In fact, open the resume of some old drama bones, only to know what is the real connotation, they can casually pick out a piece of fresh meat, but they have never shown off, this is probably the so-called "the more a person lacks something, the more he loves to show something" defense mechanism!
Today, I will introduce you to a truly extraordinary old artist! She is the first Chinese actress to star in a Hollywood movie, and has been awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Golden Horse Awards and the Academy Awards, she is Jackie Chan who shouted "Mom" for 50 years and made her willing to kneel down and present the award.
Li Lihua, born in Shanghai in 1924, originally from Hebei, she was born in the Liyuan family, her father was Li Guifang, a famous actor in Peking Opera, and her mother was Zhang Shaoquan, who had been a teacher since childhood under the famous Peking Opera masters Mu Tiefen and Zhang Shuyun, and was enlightened by the famous Wudan pink chrysanthemums.
Because her mother has been insisting on performing after she is pregnant, even in order not to affect the performance effect, her stomach will be tightened, so that when Li Lihua was born, she was less than 4 pounds.
The newborn Li Lihua was thin and weak like a poor little cat, so her family gave her a cute nickname "Xiaomi".
No one thought that Li Lihua's small body contained infinite energy, which would set off a storm in the entertainment industry, and under the influence of her parents, she was full of love for art.
Under the guidance of famous teachers, she laid a solid foundation, and when she was 12 years old, she moved to Beiping with her parents, and at this time, after she was overwhelmed by hard work, her basic skills - singing and sitting - were all exquisite.
In 1940, at the age of 16, she entered the Shanghai Yihua Film Company, and in the same year she starred in "Three Laughs", which became a hit, although she was a newcomer, her acting skills were not unfamiliar at all, but they were praised.
After that, she starred in seventeen movies such as "A Thousand Miles to Send The Lady of Beijing" in Yihua. After 1942, he turned to Zhonglian and Huaying, and also played a unique role in films such as "Spring River Hate".
Four years later, Li Lihua shined in the Mandarin Pictures comedy "Fake Phoenix", and after the film was released, it was screened for more than two months in the great light that originally only showed Hollywood movies, and the grand event was unprecedented, becoming one of the highest-grossing films in China after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and was exported to Britain and the United States.
In 1948, Li Lihua, who was famous in Shanghai, went to Hong Kong to develop, although there were such a superb beauty as Xia Meng in Hong Kong at this time, Li Lihua was beautiful in appearance, full of charm, and had a deep foundation in opera, and they could not compare with martial arts films.
Therefore, in Hong Kong, Li Lihua also quickly opened her own market and became a well-deserved "first sister" in the Chinese film circle in the 50s.
Li Lihua's plasticity is very strong, the drama road is particularly wide, whether it is drama, tragedy, martial arts, romance, she can always properly interpret the role perfectly.
She can be described as a person with a thousand faces, no matter what kind of role, she is at ease, very skillful and natural, she is a generation of famous prostitutes in "Little Phoenix Immortal", she is a noble concubine in "Yang Guifei" who collects thousands of pets, she is a heroic heroine in "Qiu Jin", she is a generation of empresses in "Wu Zetian".
The famous director Li Hanxiang once said: Female stars in terms of style, acting skills, no one can match her. It can be seen that the high evaluation of her also shows that Li Lihua is extraordinary.
Hollywood is a place where many domestic movie stars are fascinated, even if it is only a small role, it is fascinating, and Li Lihua starred in Frank Bowsaqi's "Flying Tiger Jiaowa" directed by Frank Bowsa in 1958, and became the first Chinese actor to star in mainstream Hollywood productions.
However, at that time, she refused to shoot a kiss scene with a Hollywood actor, which was also very eye-catching, and even made the global audience look sideways, in that year, Li Lihua could be said to have stunned the whole of Hollywood.
In 1968, at the age of 44, she won the Best Actress Award at the 7th Golden Horse Awards for her starring role in "Yangtze River Storm" in Taiwan.
In 2015, Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards officials also released news on the Internet that the 52nd Golden Horse Awards Lifetime Achievement Award was awarded to li Lihua, who was 92 years old, and the classic film "Yangtze River Storm" starring her was restored and re-screened and will appear at the Golden Horse Film Festival in November 2015.
She has starred in many works in her life, and has starred in more than 140 films, she is often mentioned by fans of the same era as the most prolific actress, but also a star in the Chinese film industry that has always emitted a dazzling light, which is irreplaceable.
She is the evergreen tree of the film industry, she is a respected old artist, and on the podium of the 2015 Golden Horse Awards, Jackie Chan knelt down to present her with the award.
Jackie Chan called her mother for nearly 50 years, and the fate of the two began with "Qin Xianglian", in which Jackie Chan played Li Lihua's son.
Li Lihua is proud of her career, which can be described as unprecedented, but in her feelings, she has had three marriages, and her first husband is Zhang Xupu, a rich man in Shanghai.
In the early days, the relationship between the two was very stable, but Li Lihua was too good, even if she was married, there were still countless suitors, and as his husband, of course, she was not confident, and the two began to quarrel continuously, and finally broke up.
After a few years of divorce, Li Lihua met her second husband, Yan Jun, who was an actor and a director, and the two had similar interests and were an enviable couple.
They opened a film company together, one person directed and one person acted with tacit understanding, is a famous "silver couple" in the film industry, the two began to shift the focus to life after giving birth to their daughters.
Their family moved to the United States together, and some of them returned to Taiwan, but the happy life was always short-lived, and the two could not join hands in the end.
When Li Lihua was only 56 years old, the 63-year-old Yan Jun died of illness, and the goddess was always accompanied by admirers at any time, and in her later years, one of her loyal fans, a rich man in Singapore, Wu Zhongyi, eventually became her third husband.
However, Wu Zhongyi also failed to accompany her through the whole life, and died in 2005, she lived alone, and after a long 12 years, she died in 2017 at the age of 93.
Although her reputation is outstanding, she is a legend of a generation, but she left a message to make her funeral everything from Jane, such an old artist is respectable, they have their own prestige, but never excessive consumption of fame, no wonder Jackie Chan called her "eternal superstar, but also the eternal goddess"!
