Hong Jinbao once admitted that when he was young, he could not play two people on the set, one was Bruce Lee, and the other was Billy Chow, the world champion of the WKA free fight in the 80s.
When Billy Chow was on the set, he paid attention to fist to flesh, really fighting and acting. But for the sake of shooting safety, he will still end up in some scenes.
However, when filming "The Great General", he originally discussed the misplaced kick with his rival actress Yang Lijing, and as a result, when filming began, he directly hit Yang Lijing's chest with a series of kicks, causing her to retreat and hit the wall, shocking on the spot.
After that, although Yang Lijing woke up, she insisted on finishing the filming of the later scenes. But what he did not expect was that the sequelae of this foot were so serious, in 2000, Yang Lijing was almost paralyzed because of spinal problems, and then retired from the film and television circle.
Over the years, many netizens have been concerned about what this goddess has experienced.
So today, we will talk about the story of "female version of Jackie Chan" Yang Lijing ——
01
Yang Lijing was born in 1968 in Chiayi City, Taiwan.
Because of the wealth of her family, her parents wanted her to become a beautiful and beautiful person, so they named her "Yang Lijing".
Yang Lijing is also a beautiful embryo since she was a child, and she has also shown great interest and talent in dance.
As a result, her parents enrolled Yang Lijing in a dance class early, dreaming that Yang Lijing would become an internationally renowned dancer when she grew up.
But the result was the opposite of what was desired.
As a teenager, Yang Lijing was admitted to a well-known local art school in Taiwan, Guoguang Art School.
Then she wandered to the scene of major dance competitions, and her beautiful dance posture attracted the attention of everyone present. Among them, a scout was attracted to her and invited Yang Lijing to shoot cosmetics advertisements.
Yang Lijing vaguely agreed to the star scout's request, but at that time, she did not know how much change this decision would bring to her future life path.

The balance of fate does not tilt for no reason, and opportunities are left to those who are prepared.
Young Yang Lijing, with her good looks and dance skills, soon emerged in the advertising industry. At the same time, it also took over some martial arts film and television dramas, such as "The Legend of the Heroes of the Avenue" and "The Underworld Brothers", which attracted the attention of some high-level performing arts.
In 1988, the famous Hong Kong actress Yang Ziqiong announced her marriage and quit the entertainment industry, and the Hong Kong entertainment industry urgently needed to find a successor to Yang Ziqiong, and the 20-year-old Yang Lijing was undoubtedly the most suitable choice.
Subsequently, in the same year, Yang Lijing replaced Yang Ziqiong to star in "Royal Master Sister 3: Male and Female Thieves".
Her excellent acting skills have captured a large number of fans at the same time, but also provided an opportunity for her to star in the "Royal Sister" series of action films.
After starring in "Royal Master Sister", Yang Lijing received a lot of praise and questions. After all, as Yang Ziqiong's successor, he must be able to fight very well.
At that time, the technology was not advanced enough, and martial arts actors had to show absolute real strength to get ahead. Yang Lijing realized that it was not enough to have a dance foundation, and special training must be carried out in martial arts.
In this way, Yang Lijing gradually improved her martial arts skills and shooting skills, and successfully became the most popular female hit star in Hong Kong at that time. Since then, Yang Lijing seems to have opened all the way, developed in Hong Kong and Taiwan, modern costumes, and open opera roads.
Since the 1990s, she has taken over many costume dramas, including "The Legend of Xiang Shuai" and "The Beggar Emperor" that have impressed many people.
In "The Legend of Xiang Shuai", her classic collaboration with Zheng Shaoqiu is a childhood memory of a generation. The Shangguan Wuji she plays, with a cool posture and a beautiful appearance, is one of the unforgettable goddesses of countless people.
Unfortunately, no one can predict tomorrow and accident who will come first.

Since Yang Lijing entered the industry, almost every play will be injured.
At first, she didn't care much, because at that time, the competition in Hong Kong was too fierce.
She was standing on a high place, but this high place was not cold. If you want to consolidate your position, you must suffer more than others.
No one is always young, but there are always people who are young.
Therefore, in every play, Yang Lijing desperately "fights" in front of the camera, and sometimes even hits a broken ligament and does not dare to rest.
In another shoot, she was kicked in the face by an opponent actor, causing blood vessels in her face to rupture and her eyes to suffer from floaters.
The most serious injury was the "Great General of the Gang Head" in 1997, which cooperated with Zhou Billy.
According to Yang Lijing's later recollection, at that time, Zhou Billy's kick directly kicked her to the back wall, and she lost consciousness in an instant. I rested for a while before I slowly eased up.
In the filming scene, injuries are commonplace. Yang Lijing did not pay much attention to it at first.
But she never expected that This foot of Billy Zhou would have such a great staying power...
In 1999, during the filming of "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan", Yang Lijing found some subtle changes in her body. But the shooting process was tight, and she really didn't have time to think about it.
But one morning, Yang Lijing suddenly found that her body could not move!
Yang Lijing, who realized the seriousness of the matter, quickly went to the hospital accompanied by her family.
And then the doctor's words, like a basin of ice water in the cold winter, directly splashed her with a "cool heart".
The doctor told her that her spine was severely damaged, required immediate surgery and definitely could not exercise vigorously.
In other words, to make a martial arts actor stop exercising strenuously is equivalent to directly withdrawing her from show business.
This is undoubtedly fatal to her who is just red.
Yang Lijing is struggling inside, but if she continues to shoot with high intensity, she will be paralyzed sooner or later. Therefore, she can only helplessly leave the show business circle for a while, and feel at ease to treat her illness and recuperate.
But there is a saying that goes: If God closes a door for us, it will open a window for us.
Yang Lijing fell in love with the exercise of yoga during her recuperation period, which can not only alleviate the pain, but also cultivate the temperament.
Yang Lijing, who has a background in dance skills and martial arts experience, quickly became a success in the industry, and after she obtained the international yoga teacher qualification certificate, she ran a yoga teaching class in Taiwan and published various teaching books and videos.

But sadly, the suffering that God gave her did not end.
Her career was tragically cut off, and her emotional experience was also full of twists and turns.
During her studies at Guoguang Art School, Yang Lijing met the handsome twin brothers Li Zhiqi and Li Zhixi. Amazingly, both boys fell in love with this beautiful and tough girl.
Younger brother Li Zhixi has long been famous in Taiwan's showbiz circle with Aunt Qiong Yao's TV series "Ghost Husband", while his brother Li Zhiqi is still just an ordinary person.
The love of the two brothers for Yang Lijing touched her, but Li Zhixi often ran on the major sets and was difficult to accompany Yang Lijing at all times. Li Zhiqi took more care of her like his brother next door. In the end, Yang Lijing chose her gentle brother Li Zhiqi.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, Li Zhiqi caught up with military service, coupled with Yang Lijing's gradual busy shooting process, the two regrettably broke up after four years of love.
Perhaps because of the long-term shooting of martial arts scenes, Yang Lijing has developed a dependence on her other half, so that she has some blindness to her personal feelings, and her subsequent boyfriends are scumbags among scumbags.
Yang Lijing's second boyfriend has an unknown date of dating, but he is known to be the nursing home owner he met in Japan at the time of filming.
At that time, Yang Lijing felt that this seemed to be a heavenly arrangement, allowing her to meet such a like-minded man in a foreign country.
But who could have imagined that this man had secretly seduced his good sister, and had reached the stage of ambiguity, after knowing the news, Yang Lijing resolutely broke up with her second boyfriend.
Yang Lijing met her third boyfriend in the 90s just when she was red, the third boyfriend was a sentimental musical talent, and when they first met, they talked to Yang Lijing, and the demeanor and self-confidence in their bones fascinated Yang Lijing.
Although the two have a huge difference in identity and financial status, and although this relationship is not recognized by the friends around them, Yang Lijing is still with this musical talent. Even in order to accompany her boyfriend, she retired from the entertainment industry for a year.
But jackals often show their true colors after preying. At first, the two lived a happy and sweet little life, but after a period of time together, Yang Lijing discovered the inner darkness of this talent.
Because of her career unhappiness, her third boyfriend seems to have some mental illness, like self-harm and domestic violence after alcoholism, which makes Yang Lijing feel very afraid.
But every time she saw her boyfriend's tearful apologies and retention, Yang Lijing always forgave her boyfriend softly, and she always thought that she would be married in the future.
Slowly, 14 years passed, Yang Lijing still could not wait for her boyfriend's marriage proposal. She also asked her boyfriend why she had been in love for so long and could not enter the marriage hall hand in hand. The boyfriend said he didn't want to get married.
The boyfriend's shameless remarks gave Yang Lijing a blow, and she finally woke up and left this irresponsible man.
Yang Lijing seems to have been heartbroken by her third boyfriend, and did not get into a fourth boyfriend until she was 50 years old, a man 13 years younger than her.
Despite the prevalence of sister-brother love now, friends around her still discourage Yang Lijing from interacting cautiously. Yang Lijing understands the age gap in her heart, but she can't ignore the seriousness of her boyfriend's feelings in her eyes.
This time, she still firmly chose love. Only this time, Heaven still did not care about this relationship.
Yang Lijing and her little boyfriend fell in love for three months and quickly broke up because of their concepts. This little boyfriend not only has a strong desire for control, but also has certain psychological problems, and whenever they disagree, he will take some extreme measures.
After the breakup, the little boyfriend actually cheekily asked Yang Lijing for money. Yang Lijing was overwhelmed, and a paper complaint and his court were filed, and eventually the city was full of wind and rain.
Perhaps in the end, this little boyfriend went too far, and Yang Lijing's psychology was also traumatized, and she even suffered from depression for a while. The 53-year-old Yang Lijing has also adopted a more cautious attitude towards feelings, and has always maintained her status as a single aristocrat.

Later, when people saw her, they would always ask if she was still acting? Her answer was always: Acting. It's just that now she is more inclined to play the drama she wants to act.
When she comes back again, she will always receive some negative evaluations, such as being older, people are not red, her face is plastic surgery, and so on. Yang Lijing always "accepts all these words according to the order", and then smiles and answers these questions.
She has experienced the ups and downs of life, the multiple hurts of feelings, and the recovery of her body, what else can knock her down?
Usually, she puts her income into charity, because she has lived most of her life and understands what to do and what she wants.
People asked her again, did she regret it when she became popular? I don't think she regrets it.
At a time when retro is prevalent, she is one of the most remembered female stars of Hong Kong and Taiwan in the 80s and 90s of the last century. Her ancient costumes are still praised.
At the age of 17, she was regarded as the successor of martial arts actress Yang Ziqiong, and at her peak, she also played with popular actors such as Ren Dahua and Jacky Cheung.
She is a popular actress in the glory days of Hong Kong movies, she is the childhood memory of countless people, and she is also the goddess in the minds of countless people.
Even now, she is old and the scenery is no longer there, but she used to burn so hot, her life is wonderful enough, it is already a legend.
