In the 1980s, a number of handsome men and women emerged in the show business circle, some of whom became evergreen trees in the film industry, and some of whom were short-lived on the stage and returned to the sea of people.
The beautiful girl Gong Xue belongs to the latter category, she was once the darling of the wall calendar pictorial, a regular visitor to the cover of the magazine, and she once became a golden rooster and a hundred flowers with her performance in a film.
She was well known to the public through filmmaking in her most beautiful years, and gave up her career to go overseas when she was most popular.
Some people say that she settled down desperately because of a case that caused a storm in the city, but Gong Xue said that she was for a precious love.
In 2006, Gong Xue's family returned to their homeland after a wandering life, and she still looked so beautiful and elegant at more than half a hundred years old, and the content of her life seemed to be filled with success and happiness.
In fact, from Qingshi all the way, Gong Xue has also experienced struggle, loss and helplessness.
02
Gong Xue was born in 1953 to a father who was an artist and a photographer to a mother.
Growing up in such a strong family with an artistic atmosphere, she also showed a love for literature and art from an early age, but unlike her parents, what made her intoxicated was singing and dancing and performing.
With the support of her family, Gong Xue had already performed on stage at the Children's Palace in the 3rd grade of primary school, and she personally experienced the feeling of standing on the stage, and she loved the performance even more.
Because Gong Xue's father had a deep friendship with a certain heir of Taiyi Fist, she also followed this gentleman to learn Taiyi Fist and Taiyi Sword Art for a period of time when she was studying at Chengdu Middle School in Shanghai.
At that time, although she looked quiet and thin, she had a tenacity to not accept defeat when practicing.
In 1970, at the age of 17, Gong Xue, like many young people of that era, began to go to the countryside to join the team.
Her foothold was in Jiangxi, where Gong Xue was exposed to a lot of farm work that she had never done before, and she seemed to have transformed from a fluttering butterfly into a hard-working bee.
During the day, the students, who had just left the classroom, had to go down to work, and at night they lived in the same room with various insects and rats, and it was common for them to sleep until midnight and get up to fight with them.
Because his parents are intellectuals, Gong Xue's life plan is naturally to study all the way to the highest school, and the dream of studying abroad has also been done.
After arriving in Jiangxi, her world was suddenly subverted, and her greatest wish at that time was to enter the factory as a female worker.
Gong Xue had such a simple wish and diligently did everything that should be done in Jiangxi.
Before long, she began to emerge and enter the local propaganda brigade, and the female worker did not become a worker, but she could perform again, which was also a happy event for her.
03
After absorbing a group of fresh members such as Gong Xue, the reputation of the propaganda team soon became popular.
At that time, some of the nearby brigades would also invite them to perform, and in this case, the commune pulled out some elites and formed a new literary and artistic detachment, and Gong Xue was naturally among them.
After entering the commune's literary and art propaganda team, she was transferred to a workshop as a fitter, and then came out to rehearse when there was a performance, and her life was still full and tense, and the pain was inevitable.
Around the Spring Festival in 1972, during a rehearsal, Gong Xue's ankle was accidentally dislocated, and although the local barefoot doctor tried his best to treat it, the wound became more and more red and swollen, and Gong Xue returned to his hometown in order to nurse his injury.
At that time, she lived in the house of the elder who was proficient in Taiyi Boxing, and after the injury was better, she began to practice again, and in the cold winter Gong Xue often practiced until midnight, until her clothes were wet with sweat.
No one would have thought that when Gong Xue was recuperating from his injuries and about to return to Jiangxi, he happened to catch up with the propaganda team of a certain army and a certain division to start recruiting literary and artistic soldiers.
Gong Xue also went to the exam with the mentality of trying it out, and years of acting experience and beautiful appearance formed her magic weapon, and that time she actually passed the exam.
As a result, she changed from a student in the countryside to a heroic literary and artistic soldier, and with a down-to-earth style step by step, she gradually stepped onto a broader stage.
It was here that Gong Xue came into contact with the movie.
04
At the end of 1973, a film called "Wheels Rolling" began intense filming, when Jiang Lili's husband Wang Baosheng also participated in the film.
Gong Xue's unit happened to send personnel to act as extras, and as a young and beautiful literary and artistic soldier, she was also fortunate to be selected.
When she first came into contact with film shooting, Gong Xue was very excited in her heart, and she also tried her best to express herself, hoping to have a few more shots in the film, in order to look slimmer, she didn't even wear cotton clothes on cold days.
Before the movie was released, Gong Xue also specially notified his parents to watch it, but after the film was screened, the family was confused, and the whole movie did not even have Gong Xue's shadow.
Until she fully understood the movie Gong Xue, she understood that the scenes she appeared in were either large panoramas or after-scenes, and it was too common for an actor to find herself in the movie.
Although the results of the first "electric shock" were a bit disappointing, Gong Xue still experienced the fun.
In 1974, Gong Xue became an actress in the General Political Repertory Theatre, which represented a new level in her acting career, where she spent five years.
In 1979, Gong Xue's wrist was injured, and she did not expect that she had experienced the same experience as a few years ago, the first treatment did not make her wrist recover freely, and when she went to the doctor again, the doctor told her that the bones were out of place.
The doctor frankly told Gong Xue that if you are doing ordinary work, this degree can also be. But if you want to shoot a scene, such a wrist may affect the expressiveness in front of the camera.
And to get back to business, the only way to do it was to interrupt the reconnection. Anyone who encounters such a thing will take a breath of cool air! Gong Xue was naturally no exception, but in the end she overcame her fear, and her wrist recovered well after regrafting the bone. It's just that the process was really too painful.
Probably God wanted to give this brave girl a little encouragement, and after raising her body, another movie found her.
05
This is a film about the struggle between the inheritance of porcelain and the evil forces, called "Sacrifice red".
The reason why director Zhang Xinshi found Gong Xue, who was lonely and unknown at that time, was because there was another film called "Lamp" that wanted to use Gong Xue before this, but for some reasons it failed to succeed.
Although she failed to cooperate, the crew of "Lamp" still praised her, and in this way, Gong Xue's name reached the ears of director Zhang Xinshi.
In order to invite Gong Xue to the other side, they also made a lot of efforts, they specially went to Beijing to find the leader of the drama troupe, and lobbied repeatedly.
Probably even Gong Xue herself did not expect that the staff of the "Sacrifice red" crew was really successful, and she became the heroine of this movie.
As long as many things have a beginning, the next step is logical. After filming "Sacrifice to The Red", Gong Xue successively filmed five films from the Shanghai Film Studio, such as "Good Things and Many Mills", "Midnight", and "Pomegranate Flower".
For this reason, she was recognized by the leaders of the Shanghai Film Studio, and at the age of nearly 30 years old, Gong Xue was finally transferred back to the Shanghai Film Studio and completely embarked on the road of film.
I thought that what was waiting for me next was a kangzhuang avenue, but I didn't expect that a blow almost crushed Gong Xue.
06
In 1982, the well-known director Xie Jin was about to start filming the movie "Qiu Jin", and Gong Xue was very successfully selected when choosing the heroine.
Who knew that after Gong Xue had carefully prepared for a few months, director Xie Jin suddenly decided to replace her.
In Gong Xue's words, this was the most well-prepared one for her, and she practiced writing Qiu Jin's poems in large quantities, transcribing everything about Qiu Jin from various sources.
The news of Gong Xue playing Qiu Jin has also spread all over the world, and it was suddenly replaced at this time, which is really humiliating for an actor.
In fact, Gong Xue didn't feel that he had done anything wrong! She tried so hard, but was given up for no reason. In her place is the actor Li Xiuming, it is worth mentioning that this is the second time that Gong Xue has been PK in the competition with Li Xiuming.
Seeing that the matter was a foregone conclusion, Gong Xue burned the Qiu Jin poems he had practiced. Under the huge blow, she even began to wonder if she was suitable to continue to be an actor.
Just when Gong Xue's mood fell to the bottom, her old partner Song Chong sent hope to her.
07
Song Chong, the director of the film "Good Things and Many Mills", was about to shoot a new film "Happy Bachelor" in 1982.
When he learned that Gong Xue was out of the schedule, he found this old partner for the first time and handed over the script of the new film to her, and Gong Xue also felt very suitable for herself when she saw the heroine Ding Yujie in the script, and she immediately packed up her depressed mood and threw herself into a new work.
Although director Xie Jin gave up Gong Xue, her popularity in the show business circle is still very strong, and during the filming of "Happy Bachelor", she also received an invitation to another costume film "Zhang Heng".
The kind Gong Xue regards this as a friendly hand extended to her when it is difficult, and she accepts "Zhang Heng" with gratitude.
At that time, in order not to delay the progress of the two groups, she had to run around the two sets almost every day, working for more than ten hours a day, and the transition between the two roles made Gong Xue feel huge pressure.
But through this experience, her psychology and acting skills have become more mature.
In 1983, Gong Xue took over the film "Under the Bridge", in which she played a self-employed person who had an unmarried child, and the character setting at that time was very bold, and Gong Xue could not accept such a role from the heart.
In the filming, she hopes to find a reason for the heroine Qin Nan's approach through her own creation.
After discovering her intentions, the director communicated with Gong Xue many times about the connotation of the character, and gradually reversed his view of her.
In order to make his performance more realistic, Gong Xue often went to the area where self-employed people gathered during that time to observe their words and deeds.
In addition, the role of the heroine Qin Nan and her son in the film also made Gong Xue, who has no experience in marriage and childbearing, feel very tricky, but soon she found a perfect solution.
At that time, Gong Xue's sister was already married and had children, and they became the object of Gong Xue's observation, and the sister's attention to her little nephew fell into her eyes all the time, and this kind of maternal love like a trickle was also applied to her own performance.
08
After filming for a while, Gong Xue and the young actor who played her son became more and more affectionate.
Once she and the male protagonist Zhang Tielin took the young actor shopping together, and the three agreed not to use the title in the film on the street.
But as soon as the child was happy, he lost his sense of proportion, watching Zhang Tielin and Gong Xue's father and mother screaming non-stop, ren Gong Xue's warning was useless, that time Gong Xue was so shy that he almost found a seam to drill into.
Although Gong Xue encountered many difficulties during filming, this film also brought her the highest honor.
In 1984, she took home the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress and the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress.
It seems that since 1984, Gong Xue's career has reached its peak, and love has come unexpectedly.
The male protagonist of Gong Xue's life, Zhang Xun, is a native of Hangzhou, graduated from the Department of Chemistry of Peking University, and has been developing overseas for a long time.
Gong Xue met him in the United States.
In the relationship, both people feel that the other person is their ideal partner, and the love affair happens very naturally.
At that time, Gong Xue had already switched from the big screen to the small screen, and the drama was still endless, and the only way for her to maintain her relationship with Zhang Xun was communication and transoceanic phone calls.
Zhang Xun knew that Gong Xue's career in China was equally successful, and did not dare to hope that the goddess could leave everything for a feeling, but his thoughts were like falling leaves in late autumn, covering his entire world.
In the Spring Festival of 1985, Zhang Xun dialed Gong Xue's phone, and the sensitive Gong Xue immediately felt the loneliness and loneliness of her boyfriend from the cold atmosphere on the phone.
Perhaps it was at that moment that Gong Xue made up his mind not to give up an opportunity to become a happy little woman because of his lust for the aura of a successful female star.
Misfortune depends on blessings, and blessings and misfortunes lie down. Just when Gong Xue's career was booming and love was sweet and warm, a storm swept her in and accelerated her action of leaving for love.

In 1985, a hooligan case shocked the country when three men violated dozens of women who trusted them in the name of being able to transfer jobs and other benefits, and then somehow it came to the news that the actress surnamed Gong was also a victim.
Celebrity lace news is the easiest to circulate, although people do not know the truth of the event, but this does not prevent everyone from talking about it.
Because it caused a great negative impact, the newspapers and periodicals at that time also published a clarification article calling for Gong Xue's injustice.
A woman has become the focus of public discussion because of the hooligan case, and the pressure she bears can be imagined. On the one hand, there are lovers who have suffered from lovesickness, and on the other hand, there is criticism that cannot be avoided, and Gong Xue has the answer in his heart about what to choose.
In the Spring Festival of 1986, after completing the filming of the two TV series "Begonias" and "Unknown Name", Gong Xue, who had already made all the preparations, ran to his lover.
Zhang Xun was full of emotions at the moment he met Gong Xue, and he decided to use the love of his life to give back to this lovely woman.
Having a lover eventually become a family member, this is probably the best ending of a story, but life continues, and after experiencing the joy of reunion, a series of practical problems have become the challenges that Gong Xue needs to face.
From a female star who has attracted the attention of countless people to a little woman who waits for her lover every day, and there is no relative or friend around her, even if Zhang Xun is gentle and considerate, that huge psychological gap still makes Gong Xue difficult to adapt to for a while.
Especially when she thinks of her parents who are far away from the ocean, her heart is not a taste.
However, since he had already decided on the road he wanted to take, Gong Xue did not intend to turn back no matter how difficult it was. She actively integrates into local life, participates in various outdoor activities, picks up paintbrushes, learns English, and strives to make her life full.
In 1988, Gong Xue gave birth to a baby girl, and with the company of her daughter, her life was more colorful.
Although Gong Xue is married and has children, some directors still very much hope to cooperate with her.
In 1993, Gong Xue returned to China with the support of her husband to participate in the film "Stock Market Marriage".
Perhaps she experienced the difficult taste of missing her husband and daughter, and she never participated in film and television works for many years.
During his time in the United States, Gong Xue lived in many places because of her husband's career development, and in 2006, Zhang Xun returned to China to develop, and the two sold their American real estate and cars.
Gong Xue said that in his dreams, he was also a guest, and finally looked forward to returning to China, and I wanted to walk crisply and neatly.
10
After returning to China, Gong Xue enjoyed a leisurely life, and in 2010 she played a mother in the TV series "8090 Forward", and has not appeared in film and television drama works since then.
In 2020, a newspaper in Shanghai joined hands with the Shanghai Film Actor Troupe to launch the anti-epidemic audio album "Shen Sheng Conveys Affection", and Gong Xue also participated in it, and read an anti-epidemic family letter with his clear voice.
Gong Xue, a generation of beauty goddesses, is now 68 years old, and although most of her life has been full of twists and turns, compared with actresses in the entertainment industry, she is relatively smooth in both career and family.
Success and family satisfaction, luck is of course one thing, and Gong Xue's sunshine and persistence are undoubtedly the basis for her happiness.
