The 2020 CCTV Spring Festival Gala has come to an end, in this Spring Festival Gala, Shen Teng and Ma Li contributed wonderful sketches, Jia Ling played her mother, Jin Jing became famous in a war, and Wu Lei made some small mistakes, which can be said to be very lively. In addition to the bustle, I can't help but think of the old artists who used to shine in the spring evening, such as Zhao Benshan, Pan Changjiang, Cai Ming, Feng Gong, Zhao Lirong, and Hu Huizhong, a great beauty from Taiwan.
Hu Huizhong appeared on CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 1992, and she sang a song called "City Bags". At that time, her wonderful highlights of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala left a deep impression on mainland audiences, and the song "City Pack" also became popular all over the country after she sang it, and that year, she was only 34 years old.
Being able to appear on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 1992 must have been a great popularity and influence among Hu Hui at that time, and in fact, it was true. However, no one would have thought that Hu Huizhong would choose to quit the acting world after 6 years.
Why did Hu Huizhong quit the acting world? This is related to her career experience and emotional experience.
Hu Huizhong was born in 1958 in Taiwan, a beautiful young girl who grew up beautiful and became a beautiful girl when she was in high school. At that time, she did not think that because of her beautiful face, her fate would be changed. She was first arranged to shoot a toothpaste advertisement for her big sister's company, and her pure and beautiful face captured the hearts of many young boys. When she was in college, she was favored by director Tu Zhongxun, who invited her to star in the love movie "Huanyan".
Hu Huizhong did not refuse Tu Zhongxun, when "Huan Yan" was released in 1979, Hu Huizhong became famous for her beautiful face and superb acting skills, and with this film, she was nominated for the Best Actress at the 16th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards and won the Best Promising Actress Award at the 25th Asia-Pacific Film Festival. Subsequently, she was nominated for Best Actress at the 18th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards for the film "Emperor Tianhou Earth". She not only acted well, but also planned the film "The Second Spring of Lao Mo", which won the Best Feature Film Award and the Best Original Screenplay Award at the 21st Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards.
Liu Xiaoqing and Hu Huizhong
With these achievements, it can be said that Hu Huizhong was one of the hottest actresses in Taiwan at that time. She, Hu Guanzhen and Hu Yinmeng were known as the "Three Hus" of taiwanese film industry by the outside world, and her popularity was comparable to that of Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao, who were known as "Shuanglin" at that time. Interestingly, at that time, because Hu Huizhong and Lin Qingxia were somewhat similar in appearance, some people called her "Lin Qingxia's successor", so some media ran to ask Hu Huizhong: "There are many people who think that you are very similar to Lin Qingxia, how do you feel?" Hu Huizhong replied very cleverly: "You say that I am like Lin Qingxia, which is lifting me up." But I am Hu Huizhong, and you say that I am like Lin Qingxia, which seems to underestimate me again. ”
Although Hu Huizhong was hot in Taiwan, she also faced the problem of transformation, when the Taiwanese literary and artistic romance film market was seriously declining, and she was mainly starring in literary and artistic romance films at that time. In order to change the predicament, Hu Huizhong decided to go to Hong Kong to find a breakthrough in her acting career, and she joined Hong Kong Jiahe Film Company.
At that time, the owner of Jiahe Film played action movies, so he arranged for Hu Huizhong to star in some fight scenes, which was not in line with her previous "jade girl" image. But Hu Huizhong did not mind, she dared to try, she followed Hong Jinbao to practice martial arts movements, because there was no foundation in martial arts, she practiced very seriously and diligently. Subsequently, she successively starred in "Fuxing Gaozhao" and "Summer Fuxing" directed by Hong Jinbao, starring as the policewoman Bawanghua, she acted cleanly in the movie, and after the release of the movie, she was greatly praised, and she successfully transformed into a martial arts star with the role of Bawanghua.
For Hu Huizhong to be able to transform so quickly and successfully, Jiahe Pictures is also very happy, the company also in 1988 specially let Jackie Chan supervise the production, for Hu Huizhong filmed a movie called "Overlord Flower", the result is not surprising, the film is still on fire, Hu Huizhong completely laid the status of "playing stars", popular throughout Southeast Asia.
Just when her career was creating glory again, Hu Huizhong would not have thought that an accident a year later would change her acting path.
In 1989, Hu Huizhong starred in the movie "Hunting Demons and Heroes" with Li Saifei and Lu Liangwei, and as a result, there was an explosion scene that detonated in advance due to the miscalculation of the pyrotechnics, and Hu Huizhong was blown up directly from the third floor and was seriously burned.
The unfortunate luck in this accident was that Hu Huizhong was not disfigured, and even the doctor was surprised that her luck was too good. But after all, her body was burned on a large scale, and she had to stop work completely and recuperate. She recuperated for more than a year, and for more than a year her skin was out of sight, and she had to hide in a dark room every day. She was sad at first, she didn't understand why the person who was blown up would be herself? Fortunately, she figured it out later, and even felt that she was very lucky.
Hu Huizhong also thought about whether to continue acting after recovery, and finally she decided to return to the acting world. In 1990, she returned from recovery and starred in action movies such as "Magic Amethyst", "Thief A Star", "Beware of Spies", "Chinese Police Flower" and other action movies, and was invited to appear on CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 1992.
Although Hu Huizhong in this period still has a high popularity, the audience also found that Hu Huizhong's acting is not as picky as before, and she even starred in many films of poor quality. And the root of all this lies in the explosion accident in 1989, after this accident, Hu Huizhong lived more "transparent", for the movie that came to the door, she basically did not refuse. When there was a dangerous action, she would rather be injured herself than use a stand-in, but after experiencing an explosion accident, the crew proposed to use a stand-in for her, and she would not object.
Although Hu Huizhong starred in not many good films in this period, she still brought surprises to the audience. She starred as Li Xiaohuan in the movie "Fang Shiyu" starring Jet Li and Li Jiaxin, and the love story between her and Miao Cuihua, starring Xiao Fangfang, touched many audiences. Later, she won two Small Hundred Flowers Awards for her films "Chongqing Negotiations" and "Rising Sun Thunder".
When Hu Huizhong's acting career was back on track, she was caught up in controversy, and all this was related to her then boyfriend Tang Reborn.
Tang Was born against Hu Huizhong's first love, and when they were children they were neighbors of a village. However, their life paths were very different, at that time, Hu Huizhong was a good child in the hearts of his family, while Tang Reborn often mixed with society and became a small. In the 7th year of their love, under the strong opposition of Hu Huizhong's parents, they broke up.
Originally, this relationship ended here, but Hu Huizhong, who has become a big star in 1993, met Tang Reborn's brother at the airport, and Tang Reborn's brother said to her: "My brother is still waiting for you, and he has not yet married." Hearing these words, Hu Huizhong had mixed feelings, she went to see Tang Reborn, and the two soon rekindled their old feelings, and at that time, Tang Reborn was already the leader of the Northern Lian Gang who dominated the side.
Hu Huizhong and Tang were reborn
In order to be able to be with Hu Huizhong again, Tang Reborn decided to change from evil to righteousness, and proposed to Hu Huizhong with 5 million Taiwan dollars, and Hu Huizhong agreed to him. Perhaps because he was too happy, once Tang Reborn accidentally revealed the marriage between him and Hu Huizhong in an interview with a gossip magazine. After this news broke, Hu Huizhong was controversial, after all, in the eyes of the outside world, the lover of a popular female star is involved in the black is not a trivial matter. After Hu Huizhong's mother learned the news, she was even more forced to die, hoping that Hu Huizhong would leave Tang and be reborn.
In desperation, Hu Huizhong left Tang Reborn, and she hoped that Tang Reborn could turn himself in, take the right path in the future, and do legitimate business. Tang Chongsheng followed Hu Huizhong's advice, and in 1996 he resigned as the leader of the Beilian gang and went to the police station with 11 of his subordinates and a rare Chinese-made 380 recoilless pistol and eight bullets to turn himself in, which was also the first case of a gangster in Taiwan to surrender with weapons. After becoming innocent, Tang Reborn once said: "My love for Hu Huizhong has never changed. In 1998, Hu Huizhong married Ophthalmologist Ho Chi Ping, who had served as the Secretary for Home Affairs of Hong Kong. It was also in the year of marriage that Hu Huizhong announced that she would devote her energy to her family, and for her who had experienced too many ups and downs, she only wanted a warm little home at that time. However, Hu Huizhong could not have imagined that a year after her marriage, Tang Reborn was unfortunately shot and killed in the street, and she was in pain.
Hu Huizhong and He Zhiping
During those painful days, He Zhiping was always by her side. She did not choose the wrong person, He Zhiping loved her very much, and they also had a lovely daughter.
Originally, Hu Huizhong could have lived such a warm, simple and stable family life, but everything was destroyed at the end of 2017. This year, He Zhiping was arrested in the United States on suspicion of bribery, money laundering and other 7 counts.
In the face of this sudden change in life, Hu Huizhong did not give up On He Zhiping, and in order to bail He Zhiping to raise high legal fees, she sold her mansion at a low price. In order to rescue He Zhiping, she ran around, and also mobilized friends around her to send 149 intercession letters to the court, and she wrote in a long handwritten letter: My husband is definitely a sincere and upright gentleman! Hu Huizhong felt fortunate that everyone had predicted that He Zhiping would be sentenced to 65 years, and finally on March 25, 2019, He Zhiping was sentenced to 3 years in prison and fined $400,000.
Now that Hu Huizhong is 62 years old and has experienced the ups and downs of life, she looks forward to He Zhiping's early release from prison and homecoming, and the family lives together in peace and security, health and health.
