【A Thousand Old Filmmakers (377)——Li Xuehong】
On May 18, CCTV-6 Movie Channel China Film Report published an article: "Classics are frequently circulated, heroic spirit is enduring; light and shadow flow, and red genes are passed on from generation to generation." In the small video of the backing song distributed after the text, "Half of the night is more yo looking forward to the dawn, the cold winter moon is hoping for the spring wind, if you want the yo red army to come, the mountains are full of yo ying mountain red..." In the small video, Dongzi's mother said to Dongzi: "Wait until the spring, the yingshan mountains are red, your father they should come back!" ”
So, do you know who played The Role of Dongzi Ma in the movie? Tell you what, she is Li Xuehong, an actor in the General Political Repertory Theatre.
Li Xuehong, born in 1931 in Tao'an, Jilin (now Baicheng), was originally named Li Cuiru. At the age of 16, she became an actress in the Cultural and Labor Troupe of The Northeast Military and Political University.
In July 1949, most of the Northeast Military and Political University moved to Wuhan, and in December of the same year, it was renamed Central South Military and Political University, and she went south with the troupe, and in 1953, she was transferred to the Repertory Theatre of the General Political Department.
Li Xuehong's first film was "Breaking Through the Darkness Before Dawn", released in 1956, in which she played her sister-in-law Fengxia, and her first film was once known as the "most beautiful sister-in-law on the screen" that year.
In the film "Five More Cold", which was released in 1957 and directed by Yan Jizhou and starring Yang Wei, Shi Kefu and Qu Yun, Li Xuehong successfully portrayed Mu Ying, a female party member who was unyielding and jealous.
In 1959, Li Xuehong played the female militia member Xueqin who shouted to the Kuomintang bandits in the movie "Hero Island".
The film that really made Li Xuehong a household name was the 1974 children's red feature film "Shining Red Star" produced by Bayi Film Studio, which was directed by Li Ang and Li Jun, and starred Zhu Xinyun, Zhao Ruping, Li Xuehong, Gao Baocheng, Liu Jiang and so on.
When the actors were first selected, Dongzi Mama was played by Zheng Zhenyao of the Central Experimental Drama Theatre, but because someone sued Zheng Zhenyao, she was replaced by Li Xuehong, who was considered dignified and simple and down-to-earth and serious.
Because Li Xuehong was 44 years old at this time, compared with other actors, she was older, so in order to make her look younger, she put a thick oil paint on the local deficiencies on her face when making up, and the effect was good in hindsight.
Li Xuehong did not live up to the expectations of the director, she used her simple and natural acting skills to shape the image of Dongzi Ma, a female party member, into flesh and blood, especially her image of being awe-inspiring in the face of the raging fire and righteousness, preferring to die unyieldingly, which became the most memorable image "peak" in her acting career.
After that, Li Xuehong successively played Li Wenling in "Daughter of the Sun", Li Man in "Golden Late Autumn", Wei Bing in "He was in the Special Zone", aunt in "BlackFace Son-in-Law", etc., and also participated in films such as "Julan" and "Born into Death".
However, because Li Xuehong is not a professional film actor and has hardly starred in any protagonist, even if "Dongzi Ma" is unforgettable, she has not become popular.
Li Xuehong's husband is a famous actor and director Li Weixin, as an actor, he has participated in films such as "Ten Thousand Waters and Thousand Mountains", "Kinship", "He is in the Special Zone", "The Last Nobleman", "Opium War" and other films, and as a director, he has directed stage plays such as "Ten Thousand Waters and Thousand Mountains", "Atoms and Love", "Turning to Northern Shaanxi" and so on.
Now Li Xuehong is 90 years old. As the original low-key person grows older, she rarely shows her face in recent years, but her relatives and friends rarely call her name, and when they meet, they always affectionately call her "Dongzi Ma".
Wish "Dongzi Mother" Li Xuehong health and longevity!
