On February 20, 1986, a news item was published in the main position on the top right corner of the front page of the People's Daily.
The headline was bolded and blacked out – "Shanghai Executes Rape Hooligan Chen Xiaomeng Hu Xiaoyang Ge Zhiwen"
Execution means shooting.
And the "Reference News" reported that the three people were tied with arms and solemnly displayed in front of three thousand Shanghainese people before being executed by shooting.
This was one of the most sensational cases of the 1980s.
In addition to the egregious crimes of the main perpetrator of the case, there is another important reason that can be spread throughout the streets and alleys: a popular Shanghainese female star was rumored to be involved in the case.
According to the confession of the main culprit, he once raped a female star surnamed Gong and was a film queen.
At that time, many people suspected that it was Gong Xue by virtue of this single word, and even many people firmly claimed that it was her.
Gong Xue then issued a statement, saying that he had nothing to do with the matter and did not know this person at all, but he was still unable to defend himself.
Even if the main culprit was later shot, the rumors did not stop there.
Gong Xue, who has always been introverted and simple, was physically and mentally exhausted during that time, and his acting career was also greatly affected.
In the name of studying abroad, she chose to go abroad in the name of studying abroad, and since then she has left the film circle and has hardly participated in film and television works.
Such a good actor with looks, acting skills, and works, because of the gossip, it is really regrettable.
In fact, in the 80s, there were several outstanding actresses like Gong Xue, who were the goddesses in the minds of the Chinese people of that era, because they were too popular with the audience, and even put on the "wall calendar", forming a trend of "female stars".
It is only because of their different development trajectories that some have now become well-deserved artists and old drama bones, and some have not been able to continue to complete the path of actors, and even fallen into the fate of being arrested and imprisoned.
01, Zhang Yu
The film "Lushan Love", released in 1980, was recorded in history for contributing to the "first kiss" in the history of Chinese cinema.
And this movie is completed by a generation of young film stars Guo Kaimin and Zhang Yu, Guo Kaimin was very shy when shooting, or Zhang Yu took the initiative to "kiss".
With this work, Zhang Yu also became the first film queen of the Golden Rooster Award.
Zhang Yu also brought the audience a good impression of cheerful, lively and cute because of "Lushan Love", coupled with her bright appearance, and soon became a sunshine actress loved by the audience.
Due to the success of the CP pair, they then co-starred in "Little Street" again the following year.
In the film, Zhang Yu changed the image of long hair in the past, leaving a short hair, like a little boy, looking more refreshing and capable.
What Zhang Yu did not expect was that with the movie being screened nationwide, her short hair image actually led the trend, and many girls followed her and left "Zhang Yu's head".
In 1984, Zhang Yu and Zhang Jianya, the director of the Shanghai Film Studio, came together, but in the second year after marriage, she went to California State University, Northridge to study film and television production for further study, and her marriage with Zhang Jianya also came to an end because of the perennial separation.
Until 1993, Zhang Yu returned to China and starred in Zhang Jianya's "Mr. Wang's Desire to Burn Himself".
Since then, Zhang Yu has been staying in China to develop, and the 2005 film "Ren Changxia" is her masterpiece in the new century, which won the Best Feature Film Award at the 11th China Film Huabiao Awards.
02, Pan Hong
In the novel "Cautionary Tales" written by Feng Menglong in the Ming Dynasty, there is the story of "Du Shiniang's Anger sinking a hundred treasure chests", which tells the tragic story of a woman in the Qinglou who was deceived by a scumbag, and then jumped into the river to commit suicide.
In 1981, the movie "Du Shiniang" brought this story to the screen, and the actress Pan Hong, who played Du Shiniang, also became famous overnight.
Born in Shanghai in 1954, Pan Hong's real name is Liu Ronghua, and in that turbulent era, she lost her father when she was 10 years old and changed her surname to Pan with her mother.

When she was young, Pan Hong was also a "big heroine" with a very high appearance, and as she grew older, she turned to the role of a domineering mother-in-law.
Because of her high-profile performances in dramas such as "When the Mother-in-Law Meets the Mother", "The New Door-to-Door Son-in-Law", and "Happy Life Beckoning", Pan Hong got the nickname of "Evil Mother-in-Law", but in fact she is still single and has no children under her knees.
In 1978, the 24-year-old Pan Hong married MiJiashan, an artist at the North Film Studio, and the two experienced 8 years of marriage and declared that their relationship was broken and they did not raise children.
Pan Hong has dedicated her life to her acting career, her output is extremely high, so far she has participated in more than 30 movies and more than 90 TV series, and only the Golden Rooster Award Post-Film Trophy has won 3.
Today, at the age of 67, she is still active on TV screens.
03. Li Ling
Playing the mother of the country, Song Qingling, has always been the "ultimate challenge" for our Chinese actresses, not only needing outstanding appearance and acting skills, but also "being innocent", Xu Qing, Dong Jie, Yuan Li, and Maggie Cheung have all accepted this challenge.
Among the many actresses who have played Song Qingling, Li Ling is recognized by the Chinese people as the most physical and divine.
Born in Shanghai, his father was an engineer and his mother was a teacher, and he originally lived a very wealthy life, but in the turbulent times, Li Ling needed to learn to be independent from an early age.

In 1983, Li Ling participated in the movie "Strange Friends", playing a young woman who lost her foot.
In the film, there is only one line, there is a 50-minute dialogue-free performance, the performance is difficult, not the average actor can be competent, but Li Ling with eyes and body language perfectly interpreted the role image, which was recognized by the audience and industry insiders.
2 years later, she won the 5th Golden Rooster Award with the movie "The Girl from Huangshan", making up for the regret of losing to Gong Xue in the previous session.
Li Ling's brightest moment was playing Song Qingling in the 1991 TV series "Song Qingling and Her Sisters".
She not only looks like Song Qingling, but also grasps the image characteristics and inner activities of Song Qingling, shows the beauty, solemnity and elegant cultivation and temperament of the mother of the country, and creates an image of Song Qingling that is highly recognized by the audience.
Li Ling's last work was 2001's "Distressed Woman", after which she stepped back into politics in 2004.
If you pay attention, you can sometimes see her in the news.
04. Fang Shu
Once known as Audrey Hepburn of China, She debuted at the age of 7 and played the role of a small radish head in 1964's "Eternal Life in the Fire", which was loved by the national audience.

1985 was Fang Shu's brightest year, and she won the 9th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award for her outstanding performance in "Sunrise".

Originally, this was a perfect utopian story, but Fang Shu, who had a strong personality, was restless, and she gradually felt that her married life was dull.
In 1994, she met Tu Honggang, who was 10 years younger than herself, and soon the two fell in love. In order to be able to be with Tu Honggang, she even broke off relations with her mother and divorced Chen Guoxing.
After marrying Tu Hong, Fang Shu left the film and television circle and gave birth to a young daughter, but the huge difference in personality between the two gradually appeared, and the marriage only lasted for 8 years, and finally failed.
Fang Shu raised two daughters alone, and now she has become a 64-year-old flower woman, and no one can recognize her as the Queen of Hundred Flowers when walking on the street.
05, Chen Chong
Chen Chong, the former Queen of Hundred Flowers, is now a jury member of the main unit of the Berlin International Film Festival and a lifetime jury member of the Academy Awards.
Her path to fame is full of legends.
In 1976, she debuted as a dumb girl in the film "Youth" directed by Xie Jin, and won the 3rd Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award for the movie "Little Flower" 3 years later.
After becoming famous, Chen Chong was not satisfied with the results in front of her, she had always been strong, she chose to study in the United States in 1981, and even went to the restaurant to brush dishes during the most difficult time in a foreign country.
During that time, she played soy sauce in some movies and TV series in the United States, and also went to Hong Kong to participate in Chen Xunqi's "Evil Man", but she was always tepid.
It was not until 1986 that Chen Chong waited for the opportunity to be discovered by Italian producer Dino de Laurentis and participate in the film "Big Class" directed by Daryl Duke.
Although Chen Chong did not play many roles in the film, with her large-scale performance, she was quickly recognized by the American audience, and the following year she won a top production, playing Wanrong in "The Last Emperor".

In January 1992, Chen Chong married Peter, a cardiologist, and has two daughters, Xu Wenting and Xu Wenshan, and the youngest daughter, Xu Wenshan, is also staying in the mainland to develop.
06. Liu Xiaoqing
The 69-year-old Liu Xiaoqing's grandmother appearance in the TV series "North and South" this year shocked the whole network, before which she never obeyed the old and had a good look, known as the "immortal goddess".
Because she has played Empress Dowager Cixi and Wu Zetian successively, in the audience's impression, Liu Xiaoqing has always been beautiful and domineering, and her acting and emotional path are also legendary.
In 1976, Liu Xiaoqing played a sweet woman with a strong personality in the film "The Great Wall of the South China Sea", and her dark and strong image made the audience shine, and she just received a round of applause just after her debut.
Later, Liu Xiaoqing starred in "The Mysterious Buddha", becoming the first martial arts actress in the mainland, and starring in the Qing Palace trilogy directed by Li Hanxiang, and her image of the empress dowager was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In 1987, Liu Xiaoqing partnered Jiang Wen to star in "Furong Town" directed by Xie Jin, and as the film caused strong repercussions in the mainland, Liu Xiaoqing also included the Golden Rooster and the Hundred Flowers Film Queen Trophy, and his acting career also reached its peak.
At the same time as his career is brilliant, Liu Xiaoqing went to the sea in 1990 to do business, investing in auctions, dramas, real estate, etc.
In 1995, Liu Xiaoqing, who was already 43 years old, starred in the CCTV drama "Wu Zetian", from Wu Cao's girlhood to old age, and her unchanged appearance and superb acting skills amazed the Chinese people, which was her most brilliant year.
There is a saying that the higher you climb, the worse you fall.
On June 20, 2002, Liu Xiaoqing was criminally detained on suspicion of evading taxes of 14 million yuan, and was arrested according to law 34 days later.
A year and a half later, Liu Xiaoqing was released on bail, and his ex-boyfriend Jiang Wen helped a lot.
This is the biggest stain on Liu Xiaoqing's life, if it is placed today, it is difficult for her to have a head start.
At that time, for a long time, no one dared to look for her to shoot again, and could only start from running the dragon set again, and only earned 50 yuan a day at the most difficult time.
After years of hard work, Liu Xiaoqing's career finally got back on track, and at the same time, she also gained a long-lost love, and in 2013, she came together with Hong Kong businessman Wang Xiaoyu, which was also her fourth marriage.
07, Chen Ye
Chen Ye was an actress with Liu Xiaoqing in the 80s, but her acting experience was much simpler than Liu Xiaoqing's.
Chen Ye is also a Shanghainese, born in a family of intellectuals, so she has received a good education since she was a child, making her three views very positive, lively and cute.
After graduating from high school in 1973, Chen Ye was assigned to work on the May Fourth Farm on the outskirts of Shanghai.
Later, the "Unforgettable Battle" crew of the film studio went to the farm to pick actors, and Chen Ye unexpectedly passed the interview and played the female warrior Fan Zijun in the film.
Although Chen Ye's acting skills at that time were still very young, she still had a good grasp of the character characteristics of the role, which allowed her to be affirmed by the audience.
Later, Chen Ye played roles in many domestic movies, and while slowly polishing her acting skills, her appearance also changed a lot, and she became more beautiful and moving.
In 1980, Chen Ye finally got the opportunity to star, playing the heroine Lu Wenfeng in "Danfeng Chaoyang", which is a representative work of her image and acting skills at the peak.
In 1983, director Li Hanxiang returned to the mainland to shoot the movies "Burning the Yuanmingyuan" and "Hanging Curtains to Listen to the Government", Chen Ye was selected to play empress Ci'an in the film, and Became an opponent with Liu Xiaoqing in the play, but became a good sister outside the play.
With the release of the movie, Chen Ye's popularity also reached its peak, but at this time, she thought of improving her academic qualifications, so she went to the United States to study at her own expense.
Chen Ye studied acting at The University of Heston's drama department, but in the process of studying, she met the lawyer Charlie Foster.
Although they came from different countries, the two found a common language, which fundamentally changed Chen Ye's life path, and she chose to marry Charlie Foster and quit the film industry at the same time.
In 1989, Chen Ye was invited back to China to participate in the last part of Li Hanxiang's Qing Palace trilogy, "A Generation of Demon Queens", which was also her last film work.
Since then, Chen Ye has been living in the United States, she has participated in the production of the film "Korla Fragrant Pear", and also created stage plays such as "Sun Wukong" and "My Farm", but she has not appeared in the film again.
It should be pointed out that at present, Baidu Encyclopedia and Douban show that Chen Ye has participated in the movie "About? Torres" and "The Emperor of the Peony Fairy", which are actually the works of an actor with the same surname as her.
In 2020, the epidemic spread around the world, and Chen Ye, who was far away in the United States, and her husband Charlie launched Chinese Americans to raise funds to buy anti-epidemic materials to send to China, which is a manifestation that she still cares about the motherland.
08. Fu Yiwei
In 1990, the mythological drama "List of Fengshen Gods" swept the country, and Fu Yiwei, who played Daji in the film, also became a household name "fox spirit".
Prior to this, Fu Yiwei had played many beautiful female roles, and "Daji" was her first challenge to the vicious villain female demon, and this role also brought her acting career to the peak.
Fu Yiwei, formerly known as Fu Yiwei, is a Hui, born in Harbin, Heilongjiang, she loved music since she was a child, specializing in violin, but at the age of 14, she was selected by director He Keren to star in the movie "She Came from the Fog" in the young girl Xiaoman.
Director He Keren admired her very much and changed her name to "Fu Yiwei", hoping that she would take root in the film and television circle from now on.
And Fu Yiwei also lived up to the weight of director He Keren, with his outstanding appearance and gradually formed acting skills, he participated in many excellent film and television works.
In 1989, the large-scale investment movie "Dream of the Red Chamber" was launched, and Fu Yiwei starred in the film's protagonist Xue Baochao, which conquered tens of millions of audiences with its peak appearance and dignified and beautiful image.
When director Guo Xinling was preparing to shoot "List of Fengshen Gods", it was precisely when she thought of Xue Baochao in "Dream of the Red Chamber" that she insisted that Fu Yiwei play Daji.
But playing this role, Fu Yiwei needs to face a lot of challenges, one is that she has never played a villain role before; the other is that the costumes of this drama are very exposed, and many actresses in that conservative era cannot accept it.
Fortunately, later the crew made very big concessions, adding a lot of cloth to Fu Yiwei's costume, and she gradually mastered the fierce and vicious personality of Daji under the guidance of the director, making this role a childhood shadow after the 80s.
Over the years, Fu Yiwei has participated in more than 20 movies and more than 60 TV series, with extremely high production, but in 2016 she had an accident.
Fu Yiwei has experienced two failed marriages, and to this day she is still single, which makes her feel somewhat empty.
Perhaps it is for this reason that on February 26, 2016, Fu Yiwei and many others were found to be involved in drugs and arrested and detained.
Later, although she apologized to the public, the road to acting also drew an imperfect end.
09, Ding Lan
In 1981, a "Shaolin Temple" made dancer Ding Lan a household name for martial arts actresses.
Ding Lan has loved dance since childhood, when studying in the Central Song and Dance Troupe, she starred in many Yu operas such as "Hitting the Golden Branch", "Broken Bridge", "Red Lantern", etc. She was also excavated by director Zhang Xinyan because of her good skills, and cooperated with Jet Li to star in "Shaolin Temple" and "Shaolin Kid".
Now when we mention martial arts actresses, we will think of Yang Ziqiong, Yang Lijing, Hui Yinghong, and in the mainland in the 80s, Ding Lan was the most popular martial arts actress.
Her representative works include "Shaolin Temple Disciple", "Thirteen Sisters of the Heroic Girl", "The Great Thief of Tanglin", etc., and she has also acted in opera films like Jia Xichun in "Dream of the Red Chamber" that require singing and martial arts.
After entering the 1990s, feeling the sluggishness of the mainland film market, many movie stars went south to Hong Kong to pan for gold, but Ding Lan chose to immigrate to Singapore and joined singapore radio and television.
Ding Lan can be seen in many Singaporean martial arts dramas that flowed into China in the 90s, such as the divine work "Lotus Battle".
However, the local protectionism in Singapore's showbiz circle is very serious, and it is difficult for foreign stars to obtain important roles, and Ding Lan also suffers from no good development prospects, and returned to China after participating in the family ethics drama "Family Affairs" in 2000.
Today, she is doing business in Beijing, still unmarried, and worth over 100 million, and is a veritable "rich woman".
10. Gong Xue
Finally, let's talk about Gong Xue, because she is too special.
Recognized by mainland film fans in the 80s as the "first beauty" is Gong Xue, and Pigo once introduced her starring in "Under the Bridge".
In the film, she plays a mother who has an unmarried child, whose pitiful eyes and calm and sad expression are beautiful and moving, and there are many rival scenes with Zhang Tielin in the period of small fresh meat.
Gong Xue was born into a wealthy family in Shanghai, her father was a painter and her mother was a photographer, which made her deeply influenced by art from an early age.
In 1970, gong Xue, who was 17 years old at the time, went to the countryside of Jiangxi to join the team, and three years later, he was selected into the army cultural and labor troupe and began his acting career.
After starring in the movie "Sacrifice red" in 1979, Gong Xue quickly became popular.
Gong Xue's awl face especially looks at Lin Chiling, and a pair of bright eyes, the eyes are clearer than Lin Chiling, which is the unique beauty of actresses in that era.
After starring in films such as "Pomegranate Flower", "Colorful Morning Light" and "Begonia", many young men in mainland China regard her as their dream lover.
Perhaps it is the people who are not many, gong Xue, who has just become famous for a few years, was involved in the gossip at the beginning of the article, and then she chose to go away.
In Connecticut, Gong Xue soon married Peking University Doctor Zhang Xun and had a daughter, who did not return to her homeland until 2006.
In the eyes of our parents, these female stars above are the goddesses they were obsessed with in their youth, and their smiles on the screen will still be deeply remembered in their minds.
But everyone's life choices are different, their fate is also different, some people faded out of the show business circle, lived out what they liked, and some people sank, which is inevitably regrettable.
For example, some actresses are lucky, although they have done something wrong, they have been forgiven by the society at that time, and the current society has a zero-tolerance attitude towards inferior stars, which should also wake up all stars in the show business circle.
