After the shadow queen who came out of the Republic of China era, her fate seems to be particularly difficult, such as Ruan Lingyu and Hu Die, who have a bumpy experience, and the fate of Shangguan Yunzhu, the shadow queen who was popular in the 1940s, was also ups and downs, and her daughter, Yao Yao, when she lived with her, her fate also rose and fell.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the loss of childhood</h1>
Yao Yao's mother, Shangguan Yunzhu, whose original name was Wei Junji, was born in Jiangyin, Jiangsu Province. When she was 17 years old, she married Zhang Taiyan, the son of a rich gentleman in the township, and gave birth to a son.
Because of the war, Shangguan Yunzhu's family fled to Shanghai. Forced to make a living, Shangguan Yunzhu found a photo job at a photo studio on Xiafei Road. Taking pictures was a luxury thing for people at that time, so most of the glamorous stars came in and out, so Shangguan Yunzhu naturally came into contact with many stars in the process of work, and over time, she gradually became interested in performance.
Later, by chance, Shangguan Yunzhu opened her acting career with the stage name "Shangguan Yunzhu". Unable to tolerate the poverty of the family, her husband Zhang Taiyan is a macho and cannot accept his wife's behavior of "showing her face".
So in 1940, Shangguan Yunzhu filed for divorce, Zhang Taiyan returned to his hometown with his son, and Shangguan Yunzhu's first marriage ended.
In fact, this marriage has long existed in name only, Zhang Taiyan has already married another foreign woman, and Shangguan Yunzhu is also ambiguous with Yao Ke, a famous Shanghai beach screenwriter and film critic at that time. The acquaintance with Yao Ke helped Shangguan Yunzhu gain a firm foothold in the acting world.
Not long after the divorce, the two married and welcomed their little princess of the Yao family, Yao Yao, in 1944. The big name Yao Yao, the nickname Bei Bei, means the treasure of the Yao family. A wealthy family, famous parents, Yao Yao enjoyed an aura on the day of birth.
But the happy days are always short-lived, a year after Yao Yao was born, his father Yao Ke cheated on shangguan Yunzhu when she went out once, although Yao Ke tried his best to save it afterwards, but Shangguan Yunzhu still decided to separate from him, and Shangguan Yunzhu's second marriage failed. Yao Yao, the daughter who learned to speak, did not call out to her father.
After the divorce, Shangguan Yunzhu not only has strict requirements for herself in the acting industry, but also does not say anything to her daughter Yao Yao, laughing and hoping to cultivate her daughter into a big girl, for her, Yao Yao carries too many expectations of her.
The strictness of her mother is the most feared thing in Yao Yao's childhood, so that she does not dare to express her opinion on the fact that she does not like to play the piano, honestly go to the teacher's home to take lessons, if the piano is not well learned, the mother will hit her palm, and when it is serious, the mother will slap her fiercely.
For her mother, Yao Yao has a kind of fear, so that after playing with her partner and accidentally falling, Yao Yao is afraid to beg her friends not to tell her mother.
If you look at Shangguan Yunzhu's life, you may be able to say that she is a person who is thin-hearted and knows how to use the resources around her. Yao Ke helped her gain a foothold in the acting industry for the first time; later, after the divorce, she got along with the famous filmmaker Lan Ma and was promoted by him; after separating from Lan Ma, in 1951, Shangguan Yunzhu was with Cheng Shuyao, the general manager of Shanghai Lanxin Drama, and married.
Yao Yao once played a little girl named Mary in "Sanmao Wandering", she is like a little princess on the screen, but in real life she does not have princess-like love, after her mother married Cheng Shuyao, she felt in addition to her mother's meager love.
Cheng Shuyao is a gentle and kind person, very fond of Yao Yao, treats Yao Yao as if he were his own, and Yao Yao, who will not be spoiled by his mother, always pounces on Cheng Shuyao's arms and sweetly coddles, and also shouts her first "Daddy" to Cheng Shuyao.
Soon after the mother and Cheng Shuyao got married, there was a younger brother Lantern, after the brother was born, Yao Yao said why her brother's surname was Cheng, and her surname was Yao, she wanted to change her surname to Cheng, behind this remark, not only did she have the recognition of the new father, but also the sensitivity of the child. Cheng Shuyao is undoubtedly a good father, he said that he not only wants to baby his brother, but also to baby Yao Yao.
In the days with his father Cheng Shuyao, Yao Yao was so happy, but the good times were not long.
In 1952, Cheng Shuyao was reported for corruption, and although he was an innocent man, he could not escape slander, and because he could not resist interrogation, he confessed to the crime of embezzlement.
At that time, Shangguan Yunzhu was trying to get the approval of the new society, and Cheng Shuyao's crime was undoubtedly a thunderbolt for her, so after rescuing Cheng Shuyao, she ignored her young children and did not listen to everyone's pleading, and after giving Cheng Shuyao a slap, she divorced again.
Yao Yao was forced to suspend her short-lived happiness, leaving her father and brother and living with her mother again.
Later, the mother had a lover named He Lu, but Yao Yao and He Lu did not get along well. In Yao Yao's childhood, she changed her name and surname several times, witnessed her mother's two marriage changes, witnessed her mother changing four lovers, her heart was always uneasy, and she longed for love.

In 1963, Yao Yao, who was admitted to the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, was allowed by Shangguan Yunzhu to see Cheng Shuyao every Sunday, and although Cheng Shuyao already had a new family, his love for Yao Yao was the same as before. Everything seems to be moving in the direction of happiness again.
But, special for a decade.
Shangguan Yunzhu was criticized for Being Affected by Yao Ke, and in order to protect himself, Yao Yao posted a big character poster to draw a line with his mother. In the days when her mother was criticized, Yao Yao spent a very happy time, she fell in love with a man named Yan Kai in the school, they loved very warmly, loved the whole school, even if Yan Kai's parents opposed, they still fell in love without hesitation.
In 1969, Shangguan Yunzhu, who could no longer endure endless torture, jumped from the balcony, and the death of her mother made Yao Yao remember her mother's goodness, she was very sad, fortunately there was Yan Kai, but soon Yan Kai's family was also knocked down, Yan Kai was young and vigorous, could not stand it, and also committed suicide. Losing two important people in succession, Yao Yao was heartbroken.
The next year, Yao Yao returned to Cheng Shuyao's home to relax and fell in love with a man who was 10 years younger than her, Xiao Kai. The interaction between the two made Cheng Shuyao angry at Yao Yao for the first time, and even if the people around them looked different, they were still together.
In 1972, Yao Yao found out that she was pregnant, so they decided to flee to Guangzhou first, and then flee to Hong Kong, but in Guangzhou, the two of them were arrested by the public security organs.
At that time, Hong Kong had not yet returned, Xiao Kai was imprisoned for treason, and Yao Yao was unable to raise the child after giving birth, and sent the child to someone, when the school assigned jobs to the graduates, because of Yao Yao's birth and unmarried pregnancy, she was assigned to Huangshan, she was unwilling, the school let her go to Hunan, Yao Yao was still unwilling, the school no longer cared about her.
With the help of her mother's good friend, Aunt Shang, Yao Yao got a job in the Hangzhou Song and Dance Troupe.
Before leaving, Yao Yao braved the heavy rain and rode her bicycle to meet Xiao Kai, when suddenly, a Mercedes-Benz truck on the road hooked her raincoat, and she was caught under the wheel, and her 31-year life ended.
The Shanghai Conservatory of Music held a memorial service for her, but the eulogy said: "She is a person who has not contributed to the country..."
Looking back on Yao Yao's life, we can only say that we mourn her misfortune and are angry with her.
From adolescence to youth, from school to society, apart from her personal experience, she herself has no bright and commendable ability.
In the 1970s, when everyone devoted themselves to work with full enthusiasm and contributed to the development of the country, she indulged in love and never contributed to the society and the country. As the school's eulogy says, she is a person who has not contributed.
