Speaking of Liu Shangxian, many people may not know who she is? But if you talk about Wang Fang in the old movie "Heroes and Children", almost everyone knows it. Yes, Liu Shangxian is the actor of Wang Fang, the one who sang "Smoke billowing and singing heroes, green mountains on all sides listening, side ears listening, thunder ringing golden drums on sunny days, the sea yangbo making harmony, the people's warriors driving tigers and leopards, sacrificing life and death to preserve peace!" "A member of the Female Literary Corps.
For decades, Liu Shangxian has almost become the image spokesperson of "Wang Fang", the female number one of "Heroes and Children".
Heroes and Children is a war film produced by Changchun Film Studio, directed by Wu Zhaodi, and released in 1964. After the release of the movie, it quickly swept the country, in which Liu Shilong, Tian Fang, Guo Zhenqing, who played Wang Cheng, Director Wang, and Zhang Tuanchang, became the big stars respected by people in that era, and Liu Shangxian, who played Wang Fang, was no exception.
In fact, Liu Shangxian's role as Wang Fang is very accidental. In 1963, Changying decided to shoot the film "Heroes and Children" with the theme of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea. Originally, the earliest choice of "Wang Fang" was not Liu Shangxian, and actresses such as Bai Ruitong and Zhao Wenyu inside Changying were all target actors under consideration. But Bai Ruitong is too handsome and too thin, and Zhao Wenyu is also far from the character stereotyping requirements in the script.
When he was hesitating, one day, the famous director Xie Jin went to the Beijing Film Academy to run an errand, and when he walked out of the door, he saw a girl returning from outside, this woman had a pair of bright eyes, smiling, a little shy. With the intuition of being a director for many years, his eyes lit up, isn't she the "Wang Fang" that Wu Zhaodi is looking for?
Xie Jin knew that at this time, Wu Zhaodi, the director of "Heroes and Children", and the screenwriter Mao Feng were hesitant and even a little worried about "Wang Fang", and this girl who had just walked over and was a little shy should be able to be qualified for the female number one.
Back at the station, Xie Jin hurriedly told Wu Zhaodi and Mao Feng about this matter, and the two were very happy. The group of three immediately rushed to the North Shadow room by house to find the girl who "had a pair of bright eyes", and finally found Liu Shangxian. This year, she was only 22 years old.

After the release of "Heroes and Children" nationwide, Liu Shangxian became popular almost overnight and became a popular idol. In this regard, Liu Shangxian later sighed: "There are many things in life that are actually very accidental. If I had found the right person before me, I might have been able to act better than me, but Wang Fang finally fell on me. ”
In fact, it is still that sentence, Wang Fang is more in line with the requirements of the script, let her play Wang Fang, more able to reflect a simple and fresh sense of beauty, more able to interpret a noble heroic spirit.
Liu Shangxian, who was born in Shanghai on December 25, 1941, is originally from Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, and today is her 78th birthday.
When Liu Shangxian was 18 years old, the famous film actor Tian Hua accepted the performance tasks of the film "Jiangshan Duojiao" directed by Wang Ping and the film "Storm" directed by Jin Shan, but Tian Hua was difficult to separate, and by chance, Liu Shangxian became Tian Hua's stand-in. After the film was made, she fell in love with the industry, so she applied for the acting department of the Beijing Film Academy and was admitted. After graduating in 1963, he was assigned to the Bayi Film Studio Actors Troupe.
At that time, Liu Shangxian was overjoyed that he had just been assigned to the Bayi Film Studio, and before he could report, he was heavily valued by major directors such as Wu Zhaodi and Xie Jin. But people look good, how about acting? It also happened that Liu Shangxian was playing an angry little daughter-in-law in Cao Yu's drama "Beijinger" at this time, and Wu Zhaodi and Mao Feng came to see her performance for several days in a row, and the more they watched, the more they felt that Liu Shangxian's acting skills, temperament, and appearance were in line with the script. After auditioning and makeup, Liu Shangxian was determined to be the actor who played Wang Fang.
Due to the accidental discovery of Liu Shangxian, who is more in line with the requirements of the script, in the end, the two actresses of Changying, Bai Ruitong, played a supporting role with few roles - Tian Ling, an actress in the Female Literary troupe, and Zhao Wenyu only played another supporting actress - The North Korean girl Park Zhenzi.

However, what Liu Shangxian did not expect was that when her career was just starting out, the big movement of the 60s of the last century began, the national film was stopped, the actors were almost unemployed, and Liu Shangxian's "star" suddenly lit up for a few years, and then began to slowly fade.
In this way, from 1963 to 1979, Liu Shangxian "stumbled" for 16 years, what is the concept of 16 years? 16 years is the best year for a young woman, and 16 years is the golden age for a beautiful actress.
It was not until 1979 that Liu Shangxian co-starred with 22 movie star Zhang Ruifang in the film "Roar, Yellow River" shot by Bayi Film Studio, in which she played He Xiaoxi, which was her first comeback on the big screen after 16 years.
After that, Liu Shangxian has successively created many female images in film and television dramas such as "Boxer", "Millennium Little Golden Dragon", "Sanxi Linmen", "I Love You in My Way", "Glass Marriage", "Family Affairs", "Let Love Be the Master", "Red Velvet Flower", "Tinder", "In the Name of the Motherland", "Boxer", "Footprints", "Vast Sea", "Miner" and other film and television dramas, but almost all of them are supporting roles, and at the same time, none of its influence can surpass "Heroes and Children".
With the increase of age, at the end of the 1980s, Liu Shangxian began to gradually turn behind the scenes, serving as the director of the Bayi Film Studio, and successively directed more than a dozen works such as "Under the Wind and Rain on the Bell Mountain", "Love In this Mountain", "Su San", "The Heart of the Daughters-in-Law", "Lobbyist", "Xiantao Xing", "Chinese Criminal Police" and so on. Among them, "Bell Mountain Under the Wind and Rain" won the 1983 Ministry of Culture Excellent Film Award.
Liu Shangxian, who has long retired, has a happy and happy family. Her husband is Shen Guorui, a famous recording engineer at the former Bayi Film Studio. He has participated in films such as "The Story of Liubao", "The Sea and the Sky", "Battle shanghai", "Ten Thousand Waters and Thousand Mountains", "Bihai Danxin", "Serf", "Bitter Cauliflower", "Tunnel War", "Shining Red Star", "Sticking to WendenChuan", "Four Crossings of Red Water" and other films, as well as some translation and production recording work. Her son's name is Shen Dong, he has a successful career, and now the family is happy and happy.
