In this world, each of us gets different cards.
Some people take a good card as soon as they are born, the shot is Wang Bomb, his starting point is the end of others, even if they lie flat for a lifetime, they can enjoy the glory and wealth of the world.
And some people, holding a bad card, how to play it is not right, and finally bowed to fate.
But there is still a group of people who hold bad cards in their hands, do not accept defeat, rely on the hard work of not dying to change their lives against the sky, and beat a bad card out of the king bomb, and Hui Yinghong is one of them.
Because of the family's middle road, she went to the street at the age of 3 to beg for food. Begging for 10 years, at the age of 12, he went to a nightclub as a dancer and was ridiculed. At the age of 14, he was acquainted with the director and accidentally hit the actor.
At the age of 22, he won the Academy Award, his career reached its peak, at the age of 33, no one cared about it, he took sleeping pills at the age of 40 and committed suicide and was saved, and at the age of 50, he won the Academy Award again. Now that he has reached the age of Hua Jia, his acting skills have been commented by Zhang Ziyi as gods, and no one is qualified to evaluate. Still unmarried, still awaiting her first love, the American Sailor.

In Wan Chai in the 1960s and 1970s, or the red light district of Hong Kong in the early years, many soldiers who participated in the war would rest here.
In the crowds of Wan Chai, a water-looking but tattered-looking little girl stood out in the crowd. Hanging a wooden box with chewing gum on her chest, she shouted to the crowd: "Sir, beautiful lady, do you need gum?" ”
This girl is Hui Yinghong 50 years ago, and everyone may not think that the big star who is bright and beautiful in front of TV today is still living by selling bits and pieces at this time.
An 18-year-old American sailor came to visit Hui Yinghong's business every day, sometimes in the morning, sometimes it was close to noon, and Hui Yinghong was waiting anxiously in the same place. Just when Hui Yinghong was hanging her head and thinking that the other party would not come, he suddenly jumped out from behind like a magic, scaring people half to death.
After he bought chewing gum, when he was fine, he would find a place not far away to silently watch Hui Yinghong, and did not bother her, and waited until Hui Yinghong came home before he left.
Until once, Hui Yinghong did not see him for several days in a row, and she was worried that nothing would happen. The American sailor finally came again.
He ran over to Hui Yinghong in English and asked, "I love you, how do you say in Cantonese?" ”
Hui Yinghong told him in Cantonese: "I-love-you." ”
Unexpectedly, he looked into Hui Yinghong's eyes, his eyes were full of love and pity, and he also replied to Hui Yinghong in Cantonese: "I love you too." ”
This is the first time in Hui Yinghong's life that someone has said to her I love you. After many years, Hui Yinghong has experienced several relationships, but what she has repeatedly mentioned in front of the camera is still the 18-year-old American sailor when she was young, and the soft "I love you".
This became the best memory of Hui Yinghong's life, and it was also this memory that supported her through a difficult life.
02
Although Hui Yinghong was born into a famous family and is a descendant of the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner, her childhood was more tragic than ordinary people.
As a result of the civil war, her family was liquidated, and overnight she went from a noble family to a target of criticism, and her father fled to Hong Kong with gold. On the way, the money was deceived, and the family became a real destitute family, living in a broken corner under the stairs of others.
My father was originally a rich young master, and he was accustomed to a life of clothes to stretch out his hands and food to open his mouth. Faced with a sudden gap, he could not accept the blow, became addicted to drugs, owed a lot of foreign debts, and was often beaten to death in the casino.
The whole family was so poor that they could not even afford to eat. The 4 sisters and brothers were all sold to the theater by their fathers, and Hui Yinghong, who was born not long ago, was equivalent to becoming the eldest daughter.
In order to beg for food, 3-year-old Hui Yinghong began to beg along the street with her mother. Life is too hard, and every day I struggle to eat enough. Even if you walk the street for more than ten hours a day to get food, you still don't have enough to eat. Sometimes when you don't have money, you have to pick up leftovers from the big restaurant to fill your stomach.
The pedestrians on the road were hurried, but the little Hui Yinghong still cleverly ran over and hugged the thighs of others, sincerely begging: "Okay, sir, you are a good person, give some money." ”
If you're lucky, you'll get some change. When he encountered someone with a bad temper, he directly pushed Hui Yinghong far away, and then immediately patted his pants with disgust, as if he had been touched by some plague, and he also cursed sadly, "Stinky to eat." ”
At the age of 7, Hui Yinghong began to sell chewing gum and small goods on the street. The business of peddling small goods has been done for 6 years, sleeping on the street, watching people's eyes, tasting the cold and warmth of the world since childhood, such a hard day lasted for Hui Yinghong's entire childhood.
A few years later, the teenage Hui Yinghong has become a young girl.
One day an American mixed-race sailor bought her gum every day. The day before she went to fight in Vietnam, the sailor said "I love you" to her in Cantonese, and gave all the money on his body to Hui Yinghong, who fought in the Vietnam War for many years, but the American sailor never returned.
Years later, Hui Yinghong, who became a star, said on the show:
"I've always thought, the person I loved when I was younger, she's coming to me now, and the first thing I'll say is, I love you. If he proposed to me, I would agree to him without hesitation. ”
As she spoke, her eyes shone with light, and her face was full of longing.
Some people say that they didn't expect a big star, and still be so immature? Feelings when I was young were childish.
But someone immediately retorted. Since she was a child, she has been groping and playing in society, and she is accustomed to seeing the cold and warm of human feelings, how can she be immature? On the contrary, it is because it is too mature to tolerate sand in the eyes, and only the first love is more pure and beautiful.
At the age of 13, in order to make a living, she went to a large nightclub in Hong Kong to work as a dancer. She practiced dance hard, slowly dancing from the accompaniment dance to the lead dancer, and her salary rose to 1500 yuan per month, and part of the money Hui Yinghong used to subsidize the family, and the rest of the money was saved. I hope to work hard for a few more years and buy a house for my family so that the family can have a stable place to stay.
At the age of 14, he was favored by the guests of the dance hall and recommended to the director Zhang Che, which also became a huge turning point in Hui Yinghong's life. Later, Zhang Che recommended Hui Yinghong to audition for a role in "Bad Head Ho", and this role was a dancer. Because she has stage experience, she auditioned successfully and could sign into Shaw's company as a basic actor.
In this way, Hui Yinghong began her acting career.
03
Because of her hard work and seriousness, and the appreciation of director Zhang Che, at the age of 17, she was pushed by the director to play the female number two Mu Nianci in "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter".
There are many scenes in the film, and other actresses are afraid to avoid it when they hear about the fight, but Hui Yinghong is personally on it, and often gets hurt when filming, and does not say a word. With the perseverance of not being afraid of hardship and the study of the role, Mu Nianci, who is strong in martial arts, is played beautifully.
At that time, it was just in time for the wave of Hong Kong martial arts dramas, and since then, Hui Yinghong has become famous in the first battle. Subsequently, he successively starred in a number of martial arts films, which were also labeled as "beating women".
In 1981, the 21-year-old Hui Yinghong won the first Academy Awards for the movie "The Elders", and was also the only martial arts actress to win a female role. At the time of filming "The Elders", Hui Yinghong had just finished surgery for cecalitis.
When Hui Yinghong is acting, she is famous in the circle, and she dares to go on, and it can be said that Hui Yinghong's actress road is a real way to fight.
In 1989, when Hui Yinghong filmed "Eight Treasures", there was a scene of jumping from the sixteenth floor, the stand-in felt too dangerous to go up, Hui Yinghong in order not to delay the time, said that she was on, when she jumped off the iron frame fragments next to the house, she also did not care about the pain, insisted on finishing the camera.
Originally, I thought that with Hui Yinghong's strength and dedication to life, she could make her acting career smooth. However, within a few years, Hong Kong martial arts films fell lonely, the market was depressed, and literary and art films rose rapidly. Hui Yinghong, who was originally able to receive seven or eight martial arts plays a year, fell into a situation where there were no dramas to shoot for a while.
The career fell into a low ebb, and the love did not end well.
Hui Yinghong has been in a relationship with actor Huang Ziyang, who is 7 years younger than her, for 5 years. When Hui Yinghong first interacted, she was a red actress, and Huang Ziyang had just debuted, and the feelings of strong women and weak men were not optimistic about the outside world.
In addition, in 1988, in order to retain her youth and prove that she had the strength to act in literary films, she ran to France to shoot a group of bold photos, which made her boyfriend have a mustard in his heart and became the fuse for the subsequent breakup.
At that time, Huang Ziyang took her to a friend's dinner, and one of the friends came over and patted Huang Ziyang on the shoulder and said, "Your girlfriend is in great shape, I have seen that set of photos, you are so blessed."
Huang Ziyang felt very humiliated and did not pay attention to Hui Yinghong for a long time. Later, someone broke out that Huang Zi was stepping on several boats.
In 1991, Hui Yinghong announced that the two had completely broken up, and the relationship of 5 years of long-distance running came to an end.
When I fell in love again, it was 11 years later, the other party was an outsider, and after only half a year of dating, the relationship between the two suddenly stopped. The relationship also became her last love affair so far.
The reason for the failure of this love hui yinghong is attributed to herself, because at that time, Hui Yinghong suffered from depression, her acting career was frustrated, and long-term mental pressure made her completely collapse.
At the most serious time, he took more than 30 sleeping pills in one breath and attempted suicide, but fortunately he was found by his sister and saved Hui Yinghong's life.
Hui Yinghong, who rubbed shoulders with death, suddenly opened up: "So many winds and waves have been experienced, what else can you think of?" Since you have recovered a life, it is better to fight it well. ”
She sorted out her emotions and regained her strength with the help of relatives and friends, and she chose to start all over again, making a low-key comeback as a newcomer and actively fighting for some roles.

The so-called phoenix nirvana is to regain a new life in suffering and trials. Even if her status is not as good as before when she comes back again, Hui Yinghong always has a reverence for acting. Even if the role is small, it will be taken seriously.
In 2001, she participated in "Ghost in the World", in which Hui Yinghong played two roles, even as a supporting role, she can still shine, and won the Hong Kong Film Award for Best Supporting Actress.
In 2009, the 48-year-old Hui Yinghong starred in the movie "Heart Demon", in which Hui Yinghong played a mother who had a strong desire to control her son, and won the Academy Award for Film Queen.
After 28 years, standing on the stage of the Hong Kong Film Awards again, she has long been unable to cry.
Once stood at the top, obtained infinite glory, and once fell into the trough, once in the sword mountain fire sea, once again reborn in the fire, at that time the state of mind is probably only experienced by those who have experienced it can deeply understand.
At the age of 56, Hui Yinghong took over the film "Lucky Me", in which she played a former actress with Alzheimer's disease, and her mother also suffered from Alzheimer's disease. After filming, my mother died.
With her outstanding acting skills in the film, on April 9, 2017, Hui Yinghong won the Academy Award for the third time. And this day, exactly 100 days after the death of the mother, this hard-won award is also the best consolation for the mother in heaven.
Today, Hui Yinghong is more than 60 years old and continues to climb new heights in her career, but her feelings are still alone.
In fact, when she was 40 years old, there were masters who said that she had a wife when she was 60 years old. Hui Yinghong cried bitterly for a long time because of this, but then she slowly let go of her feelings, and everything went according to fate.
What makes Hui Yinghong still unforgettable is the American sailor he met in Wan Chai when he was a teenager. Even now she didn't know where the other person's home was, or whose last name it was.
He became the most memorable white moonlight in Hui Yinghong's heart.
When he received the award in New York, he also specially opened an open field, and many American veterans came to the scene. She also asked one by one, asking if they had ever been to Wan Chai, but unfortunately there was no one at the scene.
Hui Yinghong asked them to ask the veterans around them if anyone had been to Wan Chai, and if so, asked him if he remembered a pair of girls with long braids selling chewing gum at wan chai piers, and she was waiting for him.
To this day, she is still looking forward to the day when she can reunite with him, even if she sends a photo to tell her that he is still alive, he is fine enough.
Hui Yinghong said that her life is someone else's two lives. This is not only two lifetimes, the childhood of others soaked in the honeypot, Hui Yinghong's childhood is even more bitter than Huang Lian's. The suffering experienced in this life, even the TV series of dog blood does not dare to act like this.
Nietzsche once said, "Those who cannot kill you will eventually make you stronger." Fortunately, no matter how fate tricked her, it did not stop her from turning against the wind, and the counterattack became the envy of everyone, and was crowned by the scenery of the crowd.
Sometimes, as long as you grit your teeth and get through the pain of life, you win.
