| Never | a sense of coldness about life
Hong Kong is rich in martyrs. When another group of Hong Kong sisters are active in front of the stage, the long-lost Zu'er and Baizhi, whether you like them or not, I want to write about them.
In addition to the "flaming thick lips" that have been impressed, the spirit of the Hong Kong sister is also born in the bones. Flipping through the ancient interviews, there is no more straightforward female star than the Hong Kong sisters. As if they were born to be like this, when the gossip magazines in the streets and alleys blew them up worthless, they raised their eyebrows and asked: Did you write something in the newspaper?
I want to talk about the spirited woman, that is, the kind of woman who lives a fierce life and has an incomparably strong sense of life.
Miriam Yang sang the martyrs vigorously, but to say that the martyrs who really have avant-garde female consciousness and dare to justify their desires, who can come out on top? I think of Xia Wenxi, the first generation of domineering women in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong is probably the first in the Chinese language circle to have stars.
The girl with light makeup wore a bright red backless slip dress, and also went into battle in a vacuum, asking where were the Hong Kong men who watched Xia Wenxi in "Fire Youth" at that time, resisting such a youthful flesh and frank confidence?
Xia Wenxi, who debuted at the age of 17, made a new wave youth movie with Zhang Guorong, Tang Zhenye and Ye Tong, contributing a super-provocative tram battle game.
▲ The tram of "Fire Youth" is very hot, and Xia Wenshi laid the route of the type actress as soon as she debuted
▲ Xia Wenxi's red dress in "Fire Youth" is bright and bright, and she is 17 years old at the time with a frank and confident face
She was also nominated for the Best Newcomer Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards, and since then she has embarked on a bold acting route, and can be called the most temperamental character actress in Hong Kong at that time.
Not long after "Fire Youth", Xia Wenxi played the Tang Dynasty strange love woman Yu Xuanji in "Tang Dynasty Extravagant Woman", almost naked in the camera for a sensation, when he was only 19 years old.
Fish mysterious, this is not an ordinary spirited woman. In the Tang Dynasty, there was a group of women called female Taoists. They extract themselves from the social organism and usually leave or refuse to enter family life. These women only wanted to live their own lives, chanting, speaking, and writing every day, which was also a minority at that time.
Yu Xuanji was the best of them, and she was more avant-garde than other female Daoists. The female poet wrote the famous sentence of "Gaotang Spring Sleeps, Twilight Rain is Fei Fei", carefully pondered, the words clearly describe the orgasm and the religious realm of selflessness, and it is indeed the first female fighter of the Tang Dynasty.

Unfortunately, she is remembered more for her socializing with famous people, her love affairs, and her short and violent life. A woman like Yu Xuanji, who is outrageous, is doomed to be unable to enter the history of orthodoxy, and is also destined to be scolded by orthodox culture.
Fortunately, there are also poems, and there are also reinterpretations of Xia Wenxi thousands of years later. Yu Xuanji in "Tang Dynasty Extravagant Women", after being abandoned by the scumbag, was obsessed, complained, and then walked on the road of liberating himself without turning back, challenging etiquette, despising the mainstream, and proving that abandoned women can also live their own lives.
▲ "Tang Dynasty Extravagant Women" gave Xia Wenxi a place in the 80s superstars
Taoism prevailed in the Tang Dynasty, and well-known Taoist temples often became places of communication. But Miss Yu Xuanji, the reception depends on her mood. Even if the men and women are happy, Xia Wenxi in the play even has to dominate the happy actions, and everything is controlled by her.
It can be said that Miss Xia is strong enough to be ginger and strong enough, and also justifies the name of erotic films and sexy stars. With the posture of a Feminist Taoist of the Tang Dynasty, she brought a neutral fashion sense unprecedented in Hong Kong films.
Xia Wenxi has exquisite and small facial features and a thin skeleton, and his appearance is charming and colorful. The editor of "Outside the Horn" said that her temperament was very literary, and even wishful thinking that she was a woman who watched Sartre, Hemingway, Bresson, and French Vogue, although she actually liked swimming and sleeping the most.
▲ In 1983, Xia Wenshi took a photo for "Outside the Trumpet" and put on the work of Azzedine Alaïa, which was the fashion of the time, which was indeed very avant-garde literary and artistic temperament
Miss Xia herself didn't care much about the evaluation of others.
Xia Wenxi on the screen is always a totem of independent women, and she is also willing to accept abnormal male and female relationships. In 2011, she and The little fresh meat Chen Weiting boldly starred in "The Woman Who Cheated", and in 2018, she played sister-brother love with Li Nuoyi in the TV series "Reverse Edge".

Some netizens ridiculed her as an old woman, but in exchange for Miss Xia's domineering counterattack: "It is my fault that she looks too beautiful." "The spirited girl is still the same old in middle age, and she still doesn't know what to do. Xia Wenxi's fierceness was fierce and full of fireworks.
The original meaning of the spirited woman is actually an ancient woman who suppressed her natural nature and kept her virginity to death. And the martyrs we admire today will never be accepted by traditional society, they live in the wind and fire, they are women with an incomparably strong sense of life, they are fierce, intense, fierce, fierce, and fierce, and it is impossible to be fierce, chaste, and tragic.
Speaking of which, it is actually generation after generation of new women who have redefined the spirited woman. I want to talk about these avant-garde women with amazing energy, they have a lonely heart, they don't cater to, and they are a bit tough.
Think about those years, the entertainment circles of Hong Kong and Taiwan were shining brightly, and there were many people who became famous after taking off. But those who have the ability to justify sexiness are really a minority.
Shu Qi counts as one.
When he was young, he made nude photos and tertiary movies, and since then he has left a star's case, and it is actually difficult to wash away.
Shu Qi met Er Dongsheng, and only then embarked on the road of transformation with the true color of "Pornographic Men and Women". Later, I met Zhang Wanting, the director of literary and art films, and talked about love with Dawn in "City of Glass", except for a relationship that lasted for several years and was scarred, it seems that nothing was left.
Shu Qi was lucky enough to meet Hou Xiaoxian, who understood her. By the time of "Assassin Nie Yinniang", Shu Qi has long been a mature actor, as Hou Xiaoxian said, he still insists on using her, because he sees the innate "toughness" of Shu Qi, which is the same as the woman with a "strong temperament and a soft heart" in his mind.
"When she was a child, she mixed in Taichung, it was very difficult, she dared to do anything." Hou Xiaoxian's eyes were really poisonous, and he saw that "lie" was the essence of Shu Qi.
It is precisely because Shu Qi is fierce enough that she was laughed at in Hong Kong and said that "who plays the undressed person" will give birth to the consciousness and self-improvement of "the clothes I took off must be worn back one by one", and finally she also did it.
In our cultural environment, for an actress, nude is still a hurdle.
It is rumored that Hao Lei broke up with Deng Chao that year, which was somewhat related to her previous nude shots. Hao Lei guessed the consequences, but she still took over the role without hesitation. If it were not for Hao Leifen's reckless investment, the history of Chinese cinema might have lost such a moving role, the lonely and stubborn Yu Hong.
▲ "Young Heavenly Son", a classic drama that can withstand reliving, Hao Lei and Deng Chao both gave their best acting skills at that time
▲ Yu Hong is an indelible figure left by Hao Lei in the history of Chinese cinema
Fortunately, Hao Lei was such a fierce woman, she never had any reservations.
I have seen the scene twice in the drama "Rhinoceros in Love", and the actresses who play the heroine MingMing are very good, but I can't forget Hao Lei's interpretation, even if her version I just saw from the pixel touching video.
▲ "Rhinoceros in Love" Hao Lei version is the most insurmountable Ming in my heart
Hao Lei put on the bright red dress, and I believed that she was Ming Ming herself. There is almost no actress more like Her Mingming, so free and unrepentant, as if the only thing in life is love, so wild, so beautiful.

Liao Yimei said that Hao Lei has a special wayward energy in her body, she can't control the energy, desire, hormones in her body, it is a feeling that "all attempts at the world must be squirted out of the body."

The energy hidden deep in the body of the spirited woman can sometimes be devastating. Lou Ye loved hao lei very much, and was probably impressed by the unique energy density of this martyr.

South Korea also has an actress who wears back the clothes she took off one by one.
In 2019, Zhao Ruzhen won the Best Actress Award at the Korea Blue Dragon Awards for her wonderful performance in "Parasite". She was 39 years old, and before that, many people knew her as a familiar face in erotic films.
At the age of 29, she withstood great pressure to play Chunxiang in the costume romance film "The Legend of Fang Zi". An actress's last attempt, there are few beautiful actresses like Zhao Ruzhen who can express tension on the multi-layered emotions of the characters.
I really enjoyed her performance in "The Legend of FangZi". The Haruka in the original work is only a conceptualized image of a "spirited woman", without the spirit of the original self and individual consciousness. "The Biography of Fang Zi" completely subverts the character relationship in the original book, and Haruka is no longer the loyal woman recorded in the legend, she has transformed into a high-level "prostitute", with a complex human nature: money and status, human desire and sex. Her spring fragrance is fierce and passionate, and it is a rebellion and challenge to tradition.
In the long history of East Asian culture, we have had too many "martyrs" with facial faces. Remember the art exhibition "Peng Wei: Women's Space"?
From the perspective of contemporary women, re-enter the female space in the ancient Chinese moral story, and see them as independent individuals with feelings of pity and concern. Those virgin martyrs who were written into the boudoir, their perceptions and realizations have finally been re-examined by contemporary people.
▲ Peng Wei's works
Even after thousands of years, women's perception is more or less the same. I can feel the hatred, resentment, entanglement, helplessness, determination, tenacity and strength of their difficulties.
▲Portrait of Li Qingzhao in Wikipedia
The martyr who was forced out was the tragedy of the times.
The contemporary martyr whose eyes cannot hide her desire is the light of the times.
And what I want to say is that the fierce and free soul can penetrate the fog and be very beautiful.
