In 1949, Xiang Junshu participated in the dubbing of "The Russia Question", and since then she has started her decades-long dubbing career.
She dubbed more than 200 works until her death, including "Resurrection", "Flower Girl", "Stage Career" and other works, which made her win many awards.
In 1981, she also won the Special Honor Award at China's first Golden Rooster Awards.
In this life, Xiang Junshu has been struggling for the dubbing career, but her efforts have made her family suffer, especially the husband of the factory director, every time she wants to talk to her, she is reading the manuscript, which makes her husband very jealous.
Children are even more so, who always feel that their mothers prefer their careers to their families. However, Xiang Junshu is not a woman who gives up her family for the sake of her career, she is a successful person who truly has both career and love.
Xiang Junshu's childhood was not happy, she was born in Sichuan, and both parents were scholarly families. However, during the war years, such a family was the most bitter and had difficulty in self-preservation.
Therefore, when she was 10 years old, she was sent away by her mother and adopted as an adopted daughter by someone else. The adoptive parents' family treated her well, and it was a well-to-do family, but they wanted to manipulate their adoptive daughter's life and let her marry a wealthy businessman.
She was unwilling to ruin her life, so she broke off her relatives and left, changing her name from Xu back to the previous Xiang Junshu.
In 1943, when the Anti-Japanese War came to an end, she also entered North China University to study drama, and she fell in love with this industry and became a voice actress ever since.
She is one of the earliest voice actors after the founding of China and one of the pioneers of the dubbing career in mainland China. In 1949, China's second translation film "The Russia Question" was to be released in China, but everyone did not find a suitable voice actor.
It is necessary to know both English and dubbing, which is difficult for many people. In the end, she took the initiative to stand up and said that she could give it a try, and in this way she successfully dubbed the work "The Russia Question".
Among them, the dubbing of important roles was completed by her alone, which can be called excellent.
Later, she was admitted to Changchun Film Studio and became an official voice actor. It was also here that she met her husband Su Yun, who loved her all her life.
Su Yun is more powerful than her, she joined the anti-Japanese propaganda team since she was a child, fought in the Taihang Mountain Troupe, and only entered the Northeast Film Factory to study after the catastrophe.
When the founding of New China, she was already the deputy director of the studio, and when the two met, Su Yun played a pivotal role in the East Film Studio. One is a newcomer, the other is the deputy director who has struggled for many years, the two will not communicate the same, and they will not look at things the same, but they love each other.
Su Yun couldn't help falling in love with her, and when he saw Xiang Junshu's hard work, he couldn't help but look at the other party. However, the love between the two was quickly opposed by the man's parents.
They felt that Xiang Junshu was an orphan girl, her parents didn't know where to go, she had no background, and her son Su Yunmen was not in the right household, and there was no place to match.
For this reason, Su Yun's mother also went to talk to her to prevent the two from falling in love.
Maybe it's because his self-esteem has been hit, and Xiang Junshu thinks that his strength is not shallow, why should he be looked down upon like this? She turned her head and proposed to break up with Su Yun, the two should not see each other again, even if they meet at work in the future, they will be strangers.
This made Su Yun angry, he didn't flinch at all, but continued to chase after him. Every time she treats her coldly, he will get drunk when he comes home, and his parents find him a partner, but he says that if he can't marry Xiang Junshu, he will be single for the rest of his life.
Maybe he was too insistent, but his parents finally agreed, and Xiang Junshu saw that her future in-laws put down their faces and came to her, and she was embarrassed to hold it again, so she married Su Yun.
Xiang Junshu also has her own arrogance, she was also born in a scholarly family, and her adoptive parents are even more wealthy, if she does not take the initiative to break off her relatives, she is the daughter of the family.
From the topic of worthiness or not, her family background is definitely no worse than Su Yun's family background.
After getting married, her in-laws persuaded her to give up her career and have children. During that time, Xiang Junshu was indeed very obedient, and she gave birth to a son and a daughter one after another, making this family a warm family of four.
However, since the birth of his children, Xiang Junshu's dedication has exploded, and he has developed his acting career and dubbing career in an all-round way. She is in the long shadow, and everyone calls it "the pearl in the palm of your hand"!
What does that mean? If there are better works, she will participate in one or two roles. And the dubbing is relatively rare, it is all handed over to her to complete, if others say to borrow her, the factory director will refuse.
Since the 70s, she has become the first voice sister of Changying, Natasha in "War and Peace", and Maslova in "Resurrection" are all voiced by her.
One of her best works is "Eternal Love", which is similar to her marriage, the story of a rich young master falling in love with Cinderella.
Fortunately, for the sake of love, the male owner finally gave up his rich family status, married and had children with the poor daughter, and the two lived a poor and happy life.
When dubbing this work, she put in a lot of effort, and she couldn't even take care of her family.
Even when she returned home, she stood in the kitchen and memorized her lines, and when her husband talked to her, she answered a few words. Sometimes, the husband would get jealous and put her script aside and ask her if she was going to talk to him or continue reading the script. Xiang Junshu saw that his husband was mature and stable outside, but he was a jealous man at home, so he couldn't help laughing a few times, hugged his husband, and continued to recite his lines while stir-frying.
At home, not only is her husband jealous, she only loves the script and does not love her family. Even her daughter is often jealous, feeling that her mother doesn't love her and only likes dubbing work.
Every morning and evening is the only time that my daughter and Xiang Junshu spend together. But at these times, Xiang Junshu actually carried a small notebook with her, which was full of lines, and she would pat her daughter to sleep with her hand, but her small mouth was chanting lines.
The daughter was a little bored, so she threw her line book on the bed and asked her to choose one, either go out and memorize the lines, or sing nursery rhymes to put her to sleep.
Often at this time, the husband will come forward and take the initiative to coax his daughter to sleep and let her concentrate on memorizing her lines. It can be said that if it were not for the support of her husband and family, her achievements would not be so great.
In 2011, Xiang Junshu won the Golden Rooster Award for Lifetime Achievement, which is the result of her lifelong efforts. When she looked at the award, she burst into tears, and her children were proud of her.
It's just a pity that she doesn't have the strength to dub anymore at this time!
Epilogue:
In 2016, Xiang Junshu passed away at the age of 91. In her life, she has struggled for the dubbing career for more than 70 years, and has surpassed the lives of countless people, which is really admirable.
And the love between her and her husband who have been in love all their lives, has never blushed, and quarreled is even more enviable.
