Suppose, please tell the truth to men who are now in their fifties and sixties, sixties and seventies: Did you have a crush on Liu Changyu in your heart? I think what I see will be an ocean of hands.
Your raise of hands shows that you are telling the truth. Yes, the audience who liked Liu Changyu at that time was really as "innumerable" as the cousin of the Tiemei family.
Liu Changyu's appearance is handsome, his voice is crisp, his words are bright, his performance is real, and he is good at absorbing the strengths of all and absorbing widely, forming a unique performance style. Almost none of the characters of different eras, different identities, and personalities she has created are not unforgettable.
She portrayed Li Tiemei in the modern Peking Opera movie "Red Lantern" as a quick and dexterous and loved by everyone. She has thus become a goddess in the hearts of many people.
Liu Changyu is a national first-class actor who was the vice president of the National Peking Opera House in China. He once served as the artistic director of the National Peking Opera House, the director of the Artistic Guidance Committee of the National Peking Opera Theatre, the vice chairman of the Chinese Dramatists Association, a deputy to the National People's Congress and a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
Liu Changyu was originally not surnamed Liu, his surname was Zhou, and his name was Zhou Changyu. Her grandfather was a Qing government official in Charge of transporting grain in Anqing. Her father's name was Zhou Dawen, and when the warlords of the Feng clan entered Beijing in the 1920s, Zhou Dawen served as the mayor of Beiping City for two years, and when the "Huanggutun Incident" occurred, Zhang Zuolin was killed by the explosion, and Zhou Dawen, who was accompanying him, was killed, but his arm was slightly injured.
Zhou Dawen and Zhang Xueliang are closely related and are Zhang Xueliang's brothers. Zhou Dawen had a three-room wife, and Liu Changyu was born to Zhou Dawen's third aunt, Liu Shi. Mrs. Sanfang of the Zhou family has a total of 14 brothers and sisters, and the Liu family has three children, two boys and one daughter, and Liu Changyu is the youngest.
In the early years, Liu Changyu went to Taiwan to perform and met Zhang Xueliang, and Zhang Xueliang was very happy to hear that she was Zhou Dawen's daughter.
Liu Changyu's first husband was her classmate at the drama school, and after graduation, the two were assigned to the Peking Opera House in China as actors, and they registered their marriage in January 1967.
After getting married, Liu Changyu learned that her husband coughed badly at night. When he went to the hospital, the doctor did x-rays for him, only to find that something had grown on his lungs, so he immediately transferred him to Fuwai Hospital. After the hospital diagnosis came out, Liu Changyu learned that it was a tumor, which was already advanced lung cancer, and unfortunately passed away. Liu Changyu suddenly felt that the sky had collapsed, there was no dependence, no Zhiyin. She lost her soul and cried again and again.
Later, many people began to introduce objects to Liu Changyu, and among her colleagues was a martial arts actor, who was also the choreographer of martial arts dramas, named Bai Jiyun, Liu Changyu felt that others had good character, good health, and good relations with everyone, and he would become her trustworthy like-minded partner.
In 1968, they got married. That year was when Liu Changyu was suffering, Bai Jiyun cared for her everywhere, comforted her, so that Liu Changyu could have a harbor to shelter her from the wind and rain while bearing the burden of humiliation. For the first time, Liu Changyu truly felt the warmth and happiness of home.
Her husband, Bai Jiyun, was once the deputy head of the China Youth Peking Opera Troupe.
During the "Ten Years" period, Liu Changyu went to the construction site to perform excerpts from "Red Lantern"
The most famous role modeling of Liu Changyu's life is Li Tiemei in the model play "Red Lantern". However, she is Chengye Li Tiemei, defeated also Li Tiemei! Because she is playing as many other roles, people do not recognize, but also feel that those roles are played by Li Tiemei, she seems to have become the embodiment of Li Tiemei.
It is said that when Liu Changyu was in the drama school, Master Xun Huisheng also gave them a big lesson, but it is not difficult to find from the analysis of the singing voice that Liu Changyu's Xun Sect is not strong, and her singing, in fact, is still a model drama, and has little to do with the Xun School.
Although she also acted in many Huadan plays, such as "Spring Grass Breaking Into the Hall" and "Selling Water", the audience basically had no feeling for her rehearsed old plays, and when they think of her, the first impression is "all have a red heart".
