"There is no 'Lin Dai fever' in Hong Kong because it has never been cold."
The famous director Wu Siyuan once commented on her.
Her beauty once shocked an era, she is the most famous actress in Hong Kong in the middle of the last century - Lin Dai.
Her life is like a bright moon in the sky, dazzling and gorgeous.
But the bright moon will eventually fall with the coming of the day, and Lin Dai's life will also close the curtain in the marriage.
This legendary figure, Lin Dai, has hidden secrets behind him.
1, the Chinese dream is revealed, and the name moves the capital
Born in 1934, Lin Dai, whose original name was Cheng Yueru, was a veritable famous person, and his father Cheng Siyuan was a famous patriot.
Due to the political instability and social turmoil at that time, Lin Dai followed her mother Jiang Xiuhua from an early age to live a turbulent and displaced life.
When Lin Dai was four years old, her father, Cheng Siyuan, received a doctorate in political science from the University of Rome and returned to China to work in the national government department in Nanjing.
After returning to China, Cheng Siyuan remembered his daughter and wife who were far away from home, so he took his wife and daughter to his side.
However, Lin Dai's mother, Jiang Xiuhua, stayed in China for a long time, and her thoughts and pursuits were far less than Cheng Siyuan's, and the husband and wife often quarreled over conceptual reasons.
Sometimes Cheng Siyuan would move out of the house to avoid quarrels between himself and Jiang Xiuhua.
After a long time, the former two little guesses became two disgusted, and Chen Siyuan discussed divorce with his wife Jiang Xiuhua.
In 1940, Cheng Siyuan and his wife Jiang Xiuhua went through divorce procedures, completely ending the short marriage.
At this time, the daughter of the two, Lin Dai, was just five years old, and although Cheng Siyuan divorced his wife, he was still worried about his daughter.
So he proposed to his wife to raise his daughter herself, even if she did not marry for the rest of her life.
With Cheng Siyuan's promise, Jiang Xiuhua gave his daughter to him with peace of mind.
Since then, Lin Dai has lived with her father Cheng Siyuan.
Cheng Siyuan's work in the government department provides a high guarantee for Lin Dai's life.
But Lin Dai's personality is very withdrawn because of the separation of her parents.
At the same time as the mood is not good, the body is also thinner.
Cheng Siyuan looked at his daughter who was getting thinner and thinner, and his love for her was a few points more, not only did he attach great importance to eating, but he also responded to Lin Dai's dress.
At that time, Cheng Siyuan had to order a large table of dishes every time he took Lin Dai to dinner, and wanted to "fatten" his daughter.
The table is full of rich dishes that ordinary people can't eat in the New Year.
But Lin Dai was not interested in this table full of delicious food, but had a fondness for dessert after dinner.
When Cheng Siyuan saw his daughter's behavior, he did not criticize it, but instead let Lin Dai go.
Although there is no complete family of parents, Lin Dai's appearance inherits all the advantages of her father and mother.
From childhood, this feature is more obvious, Lin Dai does not have to speak, and is the most dazzling one in the crowd.
With the blessing of beauty and wealth, Lin Dai's requirements for her own image are more stringent.
From the age of eight or nine, Lin Dai began to pay attention to the neatness of her appearance, even if she just went to study and class, she had to dress neatly and clean up.
Usually at large and small gatherings, Lin Dai will always comb her hair meticulously, and the degree of demand for her appearance is unmatched.
Cheng Siyuan often needs to attend various activities because of his work.
So he took Lin Dai, who was only 12 years old, frequently attended the dances and banquets of the dignitaries and nobles, and took his daughter to experience the life of high society.
In such a ball, there are bright and beautiful dancers who laugh and laugh; and there is a dignified and atmospheric lady sitting in the corner.
These people with different forms and dazzling brilliance made Lin Dai recognize this vain and flashy society early on.
She didn't want to join in and talk to the rich.
So I often sat alone outside, silently looking at the lace on the skirt.
In the midst of the staggering, Lin Dai seemed to see her future, gorgeous but empty.
Lin Dai watched her father bow and toast to the group of unknown people, and suddenly derived a painful thought.
So he silently searched for a good man for his father in order to soothe his father's lonely heart.
Lin Dai often went to the university to hang out, and she met Shi Hong, a student of Nankai University.
The two often talk and have very similar preferences.
Soon Lin Dai matched her father and married this young and beautiful Nankai University talented woman.
To her surprise, it was this Lady Shi Hong who took good care of her father Cheng Siyuan's second half of life and became the most important woman in her father's life.
The year 1949 was the most important year in Chinese history, the year in which the People's Republic of China was officially founded.
The Kuomintang government headed by Chiang Kai-shek was declared defeated, and Lin Dai's father, Cheng Siyuan, fled to his hometown.
The change of regime will naturally affect many people, and Lin Dai and her family are also among them.
After his father quit politics and fled overseas with Lee Zong-jen, Lin Dai transferred from the original Nanjing Huiwen Middle School to New Asia College in Hong Kong.
In Hong Kong, which had not yet returned to China at that time, he continued to study and completed his unfinished studies.
Due to Cheng Siyuan's inability to take care of Lin Dai, Lin Dai's birth mother, Jiang Xiuhua, moved to Hong Kong to live with Lin Dai.
At that time, the mother and daughter were poor and could only live in an old house in Kowloon, Hong Kong.
Lin Dai also changed from the original princess-like life to the life of the lowest people.
The mother and daughter, who have lost the source of wealth, can only rely on Jiang Xiuhua to make a small amount of money by beating sweaters to provide funds for their daughter Lin Dai's study.
During this impoverished life, Lin Dai saw a scene she had never seen before.
Beggars begging on the street may not cost a penny a day, but they still struggle to survive.
The sound of bargaining in the mother Jiang Xiuhua's vegetable market seemed to remind Lin Dai that they were no different from those vendors at this time.
In order to make life no longer so tight, Lin Dai, who is still an adult, makes a living in Hong Kong.
Sometimes going to the restaurant to do chores, or doing a tutor, the money earned is enough for two people to live a day.
Due to the advantages of appearance and figure, Lin Dai was recommended by her cousin to participate in the film and television company's audition.
That day, Lin Dai dressed as usual and came to the set with a short black hair.
Lin Dai, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, was discovered by a famous photographer as soon as she appeared, and her bright eyes seemed to be filled with all the sorrows and joys in the world.
The photographer was struggling to find a great model, so he consulted with Lin Dai to take photos and give her a high honorarium.
Naturally Lin Dai agreed to the photographer's proposal and cooperatively took several photos.
The photographer liked Lin Dai's appearance, so he enlarged her photo and placed it in the most prominent position in the window.
No coincidence, after Yuan Yang'an, the owner of the Great Wall Film Company, saw this photo of Lin Dai.
Attracted by the beautiful girl in the window, she forgot to breathe, and stood sluggishly in the doorway for a long time.
Later, the owner of the film company found Lin Dai through the photographer, and thus began Lin Dai's film and television career.
But at that time, people who entered the film and television industry would have a memorable stage name, and Yuan Yang'an gave her the name "Lin Dai" according to the English name of Lin Dai.
Lin Dai, who thought that entering the film company would change her life, suffered the first blow in her life.
After Lin Dai signed the Great Wall Film Company, the director did not reuse him, repeatedly perfunctory she said: Wait.
After waiting for a few months, Lin Dai couldn't stand it and went to the boss to ask questions, and the director reluctantly arranged a role for her.
Just when Lin Dai was happily reading the script and preparing to meet her Virgo, the director suddenly told the role that someone had played before filming began.
The script she had in mind was played by others, Lin Dai was anxious and angry, and after many times of theory was fruitless, she had a lonely and arrogant personality, and she could not think of it for a while, and swallowed a large number of sleeping pills in 1951 to vent her inner anger.
Fortunately, At that time, Lin Dai's friend Yan Jun discovered Lin Dai's abnormality in time and pulled her back from the hands of the God of Death.
Yan Jun was a popular student of the Great Wall Film Company at that time, and his acting skills were good and sincere.
He patiently accompanied Lin Dai after she woke up, solved her problems, and encouraged her to continue to live.
The upright and youthful Lin Dai couldn't think of it just a momentary anger, and after thinking it through, she felt that she shouldn't be so impulsive.
Yan Jun looked at Lin Dai's pale face due to gastric lavage and made a thing that went against the company - recommending Lin Dai to shoot at other film and television companies.
Later, the two flesh-and-blood young people quit the Great Wall Film and Television Company together and invested in Yonghua Film Company.
I don't know if the Great Wall Film and Television Company, which lost two superstars, will regret its decision that year!
After coming to the new company, Lin Dai was very popular with the director, and starred with her friend Yan Jun in the first female lead in her life - Cuicui.
In Mr. Shen Congwen's famous work "Border City", Cuicui is the granddaughter of a ferryman, she is ignorant but has feelings and righteousness, even if the love is bumpy, she is brave to pursue.
The protagonist Cuicui is loyal and single-minded to love, just like Lin Dai in reality.
Perhaps it was the favor of heaven, Lin Dai became famous in the Hong Kong film industry at that time with the role of Cuicui.
At the time, Lin Dai, who had deep eye sockets and a delicate appearance, was called the Chinese version of Marilyn Monroe by the Hong Kong media.
Due to the close relationship between Lin Dai and Yan Jun, they have cooperated in film and television works many times, and gradually sparked a spark of love.
Most of the love in youth is vigorous, and Lin Dai Yanjun is no exception.
The two brazenly appear in the public eye as lovers, showing the sweetness of their love in a high profile.
We have also recorded songs together, and the love songs have made countless people tremble with their hearts.
But the difference in personality between the two was too obvious, and four years later, the vigorous love came to an end.
Our love to this is just right
There is no more and no less left
You can forget
I should be able to take care of myself
Our distance to this was just right
Not enough for us to hug
It can't be saved
Someone who has loved hard
Don't bother
Whether to force people to abandon A
A scar is revealed
Where is the root cause of the unbearable?
But feelings struggle
There is no other way
It advises you to back off
If the breakup is too complicated
The wandering singer would put down the guitar
For a story to be beautiful, it must hide the truth
Our love
It's just right to get to that
The love between Lin Dai and Yan Jun is probably like the person who has loved hard as written in the lyrics of Xue Zhiqian's "Just Right", and should not be considered.
Even after the breakup, the two did not regard each other as enemies, but calmly like strangers.
Lin Dai's body always hides the mark of single pride, and Yan Jun's love just happens to be here, which should be the reason why the two people's fiery love ends!
The different interpretations of love cannot go together after all.
2, return from study, fall into marriage
The breakdown of Yan Jun's love relationship with Lin Dai made Lin Dai deeply shocked, and Lin Dai was very unhappy to watch Yan Jun find another beautiful person.
Perhaps for revenge, during this time, she changed three consecutive boyfriends and frequently changed the object of love to dispel her inner melancholy.
At that time, a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong spent a lot of money to pursue Lin Dai, but the proud and loyal love Lin Dai belt would not succumb to money, and she openly rejected the pursuit of the rich.
But the competitive rich man became angry and began to blatantly harass Lin Dai, which had a serious impact on her film and television career.
Under the pressure of public opinion, Lin Dai decided to go to the United States to study, and at the same time relax his tired body and mind.
In 1959, Lin Dai studied in the drama department of Columbia University, formally studying systematic acting.
Here he met Long Shengxun, the son of long Yun, the former governor of Yunnan Province, who was handsome and elegant, and his temperament deeply attracted Lin Dai.
But Long Shengxun is not a superficial docile and elegant, he is actually a veritable playboy, who has participated in banquets many times to hunt for beauty.
After learning that a famous actress from Hong Kong came to Columbia University for further study, Long Shengxun has been paying attention to Lin Dai's whereabouts.
Clever hunters often appear as prey, which should be the earliest invention of Long Rope Xun.
Of course, the simple Lin Dai could not see Long Shengxun's thoughts, and when Long Shengxun revealed that he also loved her, the two came together.
Lin Dai, who thought she had met Prince Charming, was soon mired in the emotional quagmire of Dragon Rope.
Similar to Lin Dai, Long Shengxun has high requirements for the quality of life and is also generous in spending money.
After the two fell in love, there was no quarrel because of the concept of money, but unusually peaceful.
After two years of love, Lin Dai and Long Shengxun's love was finally completed, and she returned to Hong Kong from abroad to hold a grand wedding.
After marriage, Lin Dai gave up her career because of love, quit the acting world, and became the beautiful wife of Long Shengxun.
Long Shengxun became the most envied man in Hong Kong because of his marriage to Lin Dai, and for a while, long Rope Xun also said that he was very satisfied with this title.
Probably Lin Dai is too beautiful, Long Shengxun really loves her, after marriage, he no longer engages in the previous play, often accompanied Lin Dai at two o'clock and one line, quite a bit of prodigal son to turn back.
But marriage is not as simple as Lin Dai imagined, and Long Shengxun cannot always remain single-minded.
After Lin Dai gave birth to a son for him, Long Shengxun was tired of this life of monogamy and husband.
Often outside with young women rumors, lin dai anxiety.
Probably because of postpartum depression and a lot of gossip, Lin Dai often became suspicious of her husband.
As a result, the proud Lin Dai and her husband Long Shengxun often quarreled and, and the husband and wife regarded them as enemies, completely without the shadow of the concubines who had once been lovers.
At this time, Lin Dai wanted to divert her unhappiness with her career, so after giving birth, she guest starred in the Huangmei drama "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" filmed by Shaw Pictures.
With outstanding appearance, she has once again become popular throughout the country with her film and television works.
Lin Dai's poster once again appeared on the streets and alleys, and many viewers went crazy.
But at this time, Shao Shi did not intend to pursue Lin Dai, but turned his eyes to the young Ling Bo.
After Lin Dai won the Film Award, a director of Shaw Company said to Lin Dai sarcastically: "What are you still angry about, you have been worse than a day, and you have begun to decline."
After hearing these words, the proud Lin Dai was very depressed in her heart and cried loudly when she returned home.
After her husband, Long Shengxun, heard his wife's crying, he advised her to quit the film and television industry and safely meet her husband and teach her children at home.
Lin Dai was already angry, and when she heard her husband Long Shengxun's words, she was even more annoyed.
She said angrily, "You don't have me in your heart at all!" I'm alive to be a joke, I'm dead for you to see. ”
Long Shengxun could often hear Lin Dai say such angry words, and did not care too much, so he went to work as usual the next day.
But he didn't expect that Lin Dai this time was not to scare him, and the separation of husband and wife was a lifetime.
Lin Dai died in the room after Long Shengxun left, taking sleeping pills, and beside her, there was a picture of her son and a suicide note.
The suicide note reads: If you really want to save me, please don't send me to a public hospital, because in that case, all the newspapers in Hong Kong will publish me like a joke, hoping that you can find a private doctor, which will also be good for your reputation.
After Lin Dai's death, thousands of fans wept for it, and they all voiced and demanded that Long Shengxun give Lin Dai his life.
Long Shengxun was very sad about the death of his wife, and since then he has not had any scandal with anyone, raising his son alone, never marrying for the rest of his life, which can also be regarded as a satisfactory end to his marriage with Lin Dai.
Marriage should be run into each other, tolerate each other, if everywhere with life and death forced, it will eventually come to the point of yin and yang separation.
Lin Dai's life was too smooth, and his appearance gave him too many rights, so that she forgot the humility and tolerance that a person should have.
Eventually, the road to destruction was taken.
After a generation of shadows, the incense disappeared, which caused countless future generations to sigh.
