Have you ever imagined the ups and downs of a person's life? If there is one word to describe Zhong Chuhong's life, it must be "legend". Her story, like an epic film spanning half a century, is full of dramatic twists and moving plots.
From obscurity to overnight success
On February 16, 1960, Zhong Chuhong was born in Hong Kong in an ordinary tailor family. When she was a child, her family's financial conditions were not well-off, and she helped her parents earn money to support the family since she was a child. Who would have thought that this seemingly ordinary girl would become a legend in the Hong Kong film industry in the future?
Zhong Chuhong has shown a unique beauty since she was a child. It is said that when she was in school, she was often praised by her classmates for her beauty. However, the real opportunity for her to step into the entertainment industry was when she was 19 years old.
In 1979, Zhong Chuhong, who had just turned 19, participated in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant. Although she only won the fourth place and was nicknamed the "Hard Neck Four", her stunning appearance and unique temperament made everyone present unforgettable. Interestingly, the beauty who won the championship at that time has long been forgotten, but Zhong Chuhong has become the most dazzling pearl of that beauty pageant.
After the beauty pageant, Zhong Chuhong was soon discovered by the entertainment industry. Her first work was the film "Heroes of the World" with Chow Yun-fat. Who would have thought that this newcomer, who had just stepped into the showbiz, would become an instant hit? Zhong Chuhong's outstanding appearance and amazing acting skills immediately attracted the attention of countless audiences.
Zhong Chuhong, who attaches equal importance to beauty and talent
Zhong Chuhong is not only a beauty, her acting skills are also excellent. In her acting career, she has starred in many classics, such as "The Golden Years", "Autumn Fairy Tale", "Half Life" and so on. These works not only caused a sensation at the time, but are still talked about today.
In 1987, Zhong Chuhong was nominated for the Academy Award and the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress for the TV series "Autumn Fairy Tale". This not only proves her acting strength, but also allows her to gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry.
In that era, Zhong Chuhong was known as "Hong Kong's version of Marilyn Monroe". Her stunning beauty not only attracted countless audiences, but also made many rich and big stars fall in love with her. It is said that at that time, a Hong Kong tycoon was willing to pay a seven-figure sky-high price just to have dinner with Zhong Chuhong. Zhong Chuhong refused without hesitation.
In the Hong Kong entertainment industry in the 80s, top stars like Jackie Chan and Andy Lau had a good impression of Zhong Chuhong. Andy Lau once said frankly in an interview: "Zhong Chuhong is one of the most beautiful female stars I have ever seen."
Zhong Chuhong has always maintained her principles and bottom line. She is not in a hurry to marry into a wealthy family, nor is she moved by fame and fortune, this persistence and independence made her a clear stream in the entertainment industry at that time.
Sincere friendship and rupture
In Zhong Chuhong's acting career, she and Maggie Cheung used to be inseparable friends. Both are top actresses in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, with equal emphasis on beauty and talent, which naturally attracted great attention from the media and the public.
In 1988, the two collaborated on the movie "Golden Years", in which they played a pair of best friends. The film was not only a huge commercial success, but also took their friendship to the next level.
The friendship in reality broke down due to some misunderstandings. It is said that the breakdown of the friendship between the two was due to the mutual exposure of each other's romance. At that time, Zhong Chuhong was in love with Zhu Jiading, while Maggie Cheung was dating a wealthy businessman.
The two originally agreed to keep it a secret, but in an unintentional conversation, their relationship was exposed. This accident sparked distrust between the two, which eventually led to the breakdown of their friendship.
This episode makes people sigh that even seemingly close friends can break up because of some small things. This experience may have made Zhong Chuhong cherish her sincere feelings even more, and also made her more cautious about friendship and love in her later life.
Meet true love: Zhu Jiading
In 1988, Zhong Chuhong was hospitalized due to illness, and an advertising elite named Zhu Jiading took the initiative to take care of her. This seemingly ordinary encounter became a turning point in Zhong Chuhong's life.
At that time, Zhong Chuhong was at the peak of her career, but she felt lonely and empty in her heart. Zhu Jiading's appearance seems to have brought a warm sunshine to her life. Zhu Jiading is not a person in the entertainment industry, but a successful advertising entrepreneur. His sincerity and thoughtfulness touched Zhong Chuhong's heart.
Zhu Jiading's care for Zhong Chuhong is meticulous. Not only did he come to the hospital every day to accompany her, but he also prepared delicious meals for her and even washed her hair himself. This kind of meticulous care made Zhong Chuhong feel unprecedented warmth and security.
After the two fell in love, Zhong Chuhong resolutely chose to deal with this relationship in a low-key manner. In order to protect this relationship, she even did not hesitate to break with her friend Maggie Cheung. In that era when paparazzi were prevalent, the relationship between Zhong Chuhong and Zhu Jiading once became the focus of media pursuit. But they have always kept a low profile, tried to avoid the lens of the media, and buried their love in the bottom of their hearts.
On December 20, 1991, Zhong Chuhong and Zhu Jiading held a grand wedding in United States. The wedding caused a sensation at the time, and many people were happy that Zhong Chuhong had found true love. After getting married, Zhong Chuhong chose to retire and devote herself wholeheartedly to family life. She and Zhu Jiading have been close to each other and have spent 16 years of happiness together.
A happy life is not all smooth sailing. It is said that Zhong Chuhong was unable to have children due to ectopic pregnancy, which brought great regret to her and her husband.
But even so, the relationship between the two is still strong, and they choose to make up for this deficiency with more love. Zhu Jiading once said in an interview: "Although we don't have children, we have each other, and that's enough."
The heaviest blow of life
In 2007, bad news struck suddenly. When Zhong Chuhong was 48 years old, her beloved husband Zhu Jiading was diagnosed with colon cancer. In the face of this heavy blow, Zhong Chuhong showed amazing strength. She gave everything she could, seeking medical advice everywhere, hoping to save her husband's life.
Zhong Chuhong accompanied her husband through the difficult treatment process. She travels around looking for the best doctors and state-of-the-art treatments. It is said that she even flew to United States in the hope of finding a better treatment.
In this process, Zhong Chuhong showed extraordinary strength and courage. Not only does she have to take care of her sick husband, but she also has to endure tremendous psychological pressure. Fate is so cruel. Despite Zhong Chuhong's efforts, Zhu Jiading passed away at the age of 53.
This blow was tantamount to a bolt from the blue for Zhong Chuhong. She was in a state of extreme grief, and for four months she was barely at home, and her mood was extremely low.
Zhu Jiading's death not only made Zhong Chuhong lose her beloved husband, but also made her lose the focus of her life. In those difficult days, Zhong Chuhong could hardly face reality. She often sits alone at home, staring at her husband's pictures in a daze. Sometimes, she would burst into tears, as if she wanted to vent all her grief.
Many people are worried that Zhong Chuhong will collapse because of this. Once again, she showed amazing willpower. In honor of her husband, she was baptized and became a Catholic. This decision is not only a memorial to her husband, but also a way for her to seek spiritual sustenance.
At the same time, she also began to try to travel alone, visiting some remote areas, and slowly coming out of the haze of sadness. During these trips, Zhong Chuhong began to re-examine her life and think about the direction of the future. She began to learn photography, using her lens to record the beautiful moments in her life. These new attempts allowed her to gradually regain the meaning of life.
Strong women: face life alone
After her husband passed away, 47-year-old Zhong Chuhong chose to live alone. She never remarried, leaving all her love to her deceased husband. In the eyes of outsiders, Zhong Chuhong's appearance is no longer what it used to be, but her strong and independent character shines even more.
Zhong Chuhong often wears black and white plain clothes, travels and photographs alone. In this way, she expresses her thoughts and regrets for her husband. Despite the heavy blows of life, she retains her grace and dignity.
During this period of living alone, Zhong Chuhong began to re-examine his life. Instead of pursuing vanity and fortune, she turned her attention to public welfare. She has become an ambassador for several environmental organizations and actively participates in various public welfare activities. These experiences not only allowed her to find a new purpose in life, but also made her feel the joy of helping others.
Zhong Chuhong also began to try some new things. She studied photography and often went to some remote places alone to photograph landscapes. These photographs not only document her journey, but also become a reflection of her inner world. Through the lens, she seems to have re-acquainted herself with the world and herself.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Zhong Chuhong has been widowed for 17 years. Now she seems to have finally stepped out of the haze of sadness and regained the smile of life.
