The girl's father, a primary school teacher, looked at the pink face in the swaddling, and then named the girl "Wei Junjie", and later changed her name to Wei Yajun because of the twisting of her name.
Wei Yajun has been a beauty billet since childhood, people look very standard, goose egg face, willow leaf eyebrows, cherry mouth, to the girlhood, is already a famous "little beauty" in the town.
Because of his family's poverty, Wei Yajun just turned 16 years old, and his parents took charge of it and married Zhang Dayan in the same town.
The Zhang family is a famous family in the town, Zhang Dayan is nine years older than Wei Yajun, but in the eyes of outsiders, this is also a marriage with the United States, and a year after marriage, Wei Yajun gave birth to a son for her husband's family.
If the times had not changed, Wei Yajun would have lived in the town with her husband and son all the time, living a carefree and mediocre life.
But in times of turmoil, no one's life is set in stone.

In 1937, with the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, hundreds of people lived a life of displacement, including Wei Yajun, a small family that had just been established for more than a year.
They fled to Shanghai, and they would not have imagined that this floating metropolis would rewrite their fate.
After settling everything, the two families looked for jobs separately, Wei Yajun went to a photo studio as a conductor, the owner of the shop is a well-known photographer, often taking pictures for the stars, for a long time, Wei Yajun is familiar with those movie stars.
After seeing the lives of those big stars, Wei Yajun was not satisfied with her current situation, originally she was also living a rich life in her hometown, but it was just a war, which made her a fugitive and had to go out to beg for a living.
She is a woman with desires, with endless extravagant hopes for fame and money, and being a star is undoubtedly the best way to achieve this dream.
Wei Yajun knows that her appearance will attract the attention of others, and when she is a conductor, she is often praised by people: "She looks no worse than those female stars." ”
So, under the introduction of a celebrity friend, she entered the Huaguang Drama School to study, she is not just a vase with a skin bag, she learns very hard.
After a period of time, she mastered the basic support of acting and participated in the internship performances of two plays, "Rice" and "The Beginning of Man".
With a foundation, she was admitted to the actor training class of Xinhua Film Company.
In 1940, she finally waited for a chance to participate in the film, and it was this time that everyone changed her name to "Shangguan Yunzhu".
Just did not expect, the name was also changed, everything was ready, but when she auditioned, she was suddenly nervous to the point of speechlessness, the director looked for someone to replace her, Wei Yajun looked at her "screen dream" so broken, very unwilling, stubborn personality, silently swore in her heart: "I have eaten this bowl of drama rice."
The more others deny her, the more she has to prove to them that I am no worse than anyone.
Shangguan Yunzhu knows very well that the drama stage is the most honed acting skills, and after being eliminated, she turned around and threw herself on the drama stage and began to cultivate herself with her heart.
She does not care about the size of the role, does not care about the remuneration, as long as there is a role, she will not refuse, her purpose is only a "thick hair", and then on the big screen, become a shining star on the beach.

It was also when he was fully engaged in drama that Shangguan met Lu Xun's proud protégé and director of the Tianfeng Opera Society, Yao Ke.
Yao Ke is a typical talented man, not only full of talent, but also looks good, to some extent, his appearance has accelerated the speed of Shangguan's fame, of course, it has also accelerated the demise of her marriage.
With the help of Yao Ke, Shangguan finally starred in her debut film "Rose Drifting Zero", and her screen journey also began.
With good looks, acting skills and hard work, Shangguan's star path is particularly smooth, and he has filmed films such as "Black Thief", "Thief Beauty", "Tearful Lovesickness", "Flower Moon Good Night", "Long Live the Wife" and so on.
During this period, most of the aunts and wives she portrayed were all kinds of styles, and there were basically no protagonists, but Shangguan did not care, as long as there was a scene to shoot, she was satisfied.
Her career was flourishing here, but her marriage was lit up with red lights.
Because Shangguan is too eager to become famous, her life is filled with drama, and she can't go home all day, which makes Zhang Dayan very dissatisfied, and the two often quarrel over this, if Shangguan is willing to quit the show business, their marriage will not go to ruin.
But between marriage and movies, Shangguan did not hesitate to choose the latter, she likes a luxurious and rich life, she likes to perform different lives on the screen.
For the sake of the movie, Shangguan chose to divorce, turned around and married Yao Ke, who escorted her, and gave birth to a daughter Yao Yao the following year.
The combination of talent and beauty was originally the most romantic, and when living with Yao Ke, Shangguan was very happy every day, but it was a pity that "since ancient times, there are many talents and merriers", when the initial passion faded, Yao Ke actually empathized with other love.
Although Shangguan is sad, she has never been the kind of person who has wronged herself for love, and since love has become a thing of the past, she chooses to get together and disperse.
Can afford to put down, dare to love and dare to hate, embodied in the Shangguan body of the extreme.

After separating from Yao Ke, Shangguan is still active in the film circle and the theater stage, no matter how life fluctuates, she will not give up her beloved acting career.
While working hard to shoot the scene, she established a deep relationship with the screen boy Blue Horse at that time, and they cooperated in the filming of "Paradise Spring Dream" and "Children of the Troubled World", which was called "the best partner".
On the screen, they are a couple of you and me, and they extend the feelings in the drama to the outside of the play, and soon establish a relationship.
But life and drama are two different things after all, drama is beautified, but life is indeed undisguised.
After being together, Shangguan found that the blue horse in life did not have the slightest artistic atmosphere, on the contrary, he was somewhat vulgar, as if the artwork in his heart was destroyed, Shangguan Yunzhu, who always wore a cheongsam and made up exquisite makeup, could not accept such a blue horse.
In the end, the relationship ended in a breakup.
Shangguan's world, in addition to the movie is love, she is a woman who needs love to nourish, and soon after breaking up with Lan Ma, she and Cheng Shuyao, the manager of shanghai Lyceum Theatre, came together, and their wedding was held in Lyceum Theatre, which was quite sensational.
After marriage, they also had their youngest son, Wei Ran, and Yao Yao, the daughter born to Yao Ke, also lived with them. Cheng Shuyao was loyal and honest, and his heart was kind, and he regarded Yao Yao as his own.
Then their life will be very good, a family of four living together, the family is rich, such a day, how many people envy.
Shangguan Yunzhu also thought that he had finally waited for the stability of this world, but unfortunately his life was not the end, and it was always too early to say that he was stable.

In 1952, Cheng Shuyao was framed, saying that he was corrupt, in fact, it was originally a false accusation, but Cheng Shuyao was a bit sloppy in doing things, and the accounts at that time were not recorded, and finally a hundred mouths were indefensible, he thought that he was frank, maybe it would be okay, so he said "embezzlement 100" in passing.
With this smooth mouth, he became a "corrupt element" and stayed in the unit to supervise the transformation for a year, and since then Cheng Shuyao has been a person who lives a life with a stain on his back.
In the face of other people's pointing, Shangguan, who has strong self-esteem, could not accept it, and in order to show that he had nothing to do with the "corruption" incident and was afraid of affecting his career, Shangguan decisively divorced Cheng Shuyao.
In fact, Shangguan can be said to be a delicate egoist, but anyone who is not good for her future, even if he loves her, will let go.
After divorcing Cheng Shuyao, Shangguan and Lu He came together, and they were also partners, and they worked together to shoot "Peacock Guts" and "Group of Demons".
In fact, Shangguan did not love Lu He much, but after experiencing four relationships, she was also deeply tired, especially separated from Cheng Shuyao.
Luhe happened to appear when she needed comfort the most, so their union was more of a relationship of need and need.

Although the feelings are quite bumpy, Shangguan's star road is still very smooth, and she received a more challenging film, that is, the quite sensational "South Island Storm".
The film celebrates a story of revolutionary struggle that can be sung and wept, in which Shangguan plays a female guerrilla, and the opponent is played by the famous actor Sun Daolin.
Before that, Shangguan played most of the roles of socialites and aunts, so for her, this was a huge challenge.
But the strong Shangguan is not afraid, in order to maximize the restoration of the role, she followed the crew hainan island to experience life, against the scorching sun and farmers to work in the fields, but also through the rugged and difficult mountains and old forests, in search of local old heroes.
Busy day during the day, she did not rest at night, and the director discussed the role, revised the script, kung fu did not pay off, after the film was released, she won great praise from the audience, Chairman Mao also summoned her 7 times,
Popular Cinema commented:
"With his best efforts, Shangguan Yunzhu successfully played the role of 'Fu Ruohua', making this character a real flesh and blood hero in our minds."
In 1962, Shangguan Yunzhu was named one of the twenty-two biggest stars of Chinese cinema by the Ministry of Culture, and on the screen she finally stepped out of a splendid road.
In a way, Shangguan is a fool, she was born for the drama, crazy for the drama, at the expense of marriage, fortunately in the end she succeeded.

However, just when Shangguan was imagining her future acting career, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and shortly after the operation, cancer cells were found in the skull, so she underwent another brain surgery, and her memory was severely damaged.
But as strong as she was, she still tried to do rehabilitation, but she did not expect that she escaped the disease, but did not avoid the "big movement".
When the "movement" came, she, like the fate of many actors, endured all kinds of torture, physical pain she could endure, mental torture, she could not bear.
In the early morning of November 21, 1968, with a desperate mood, she wrote a night of confessions to shangguan and finally decided to end her life.
In that boundless night, Shangguan, who had been strong and stubborn all his life, plunged down from the balcony on the fourth floor of his home and left this world forever.
She was only 48 years old, and it had all begun, but it was over.
Looking back at Shangguan's life, she was a woman with desires and ambitions, and she also got the glory and glory she wanted, but the price was to end her life early.
If she is at peace with herself and is willing to be an ordinary woman, perhaps she will also go through her life smoothly, but she is not willing to be mediocre, and no one can do anything.
This is probably the so-called "character determines destiny!" ”
