Episode 01
In the 1980s and 1990s, the Hong Kong film industry can be said to have given birth to many well-known actresses, some of whom are famous for literary and art films like Lin Qingxia, and some of whom appear in front of people with a unique "alternative" image.
And Hui Yinghong is undoubtedly an actor in this brilliant era, in the stage of the popularity of Hong Kong martial arts films, she quickly became popular in just a few years after her debut as a "beating woman", and the scenery was infinite for a while.
But many people can hardly imagine that such a cool-looking woman, her life is also like a movie, although it has brilliance and beauty, but also hides a lot of bitterness.
01
In 1962, Hui Yinghong was born in an ordinary family in Hong Kong. In the early years, Hui Yinghong's father was the son of a famous owner and moved to Hong Kong with thousands of properties. At that time, the whole family had a beautiful vision of going to Hong Kong to live, but what they did not expect was that these family properties were finally cheated in a business, and for a while, the whole family was in trouble, and Hui Yinghong's father fell into a huge gap.
At that time, in addition to Hui Yinghong, there were several brothers and sisters in the family. But because of the failure of the business, the poor life makes the whole family bear a lot of pressure, in order to alleviate the pressure of life, the elderly brothers and sisters have been sold to learn Beijing opera, at least three meals a day outside the home are guaranteed, but also can reduce the burden of the family.
Hui Yinghong, a 3-year-old, followed her mother to sell small goods in the Red Light District around Wan Chai in Hong Kong. Those days were a memorable time for Hui Yinghong, and the complexity of the red light district made the little Hui Yinghong have a deeper understanding of the difficulties of life.
At that time, for little Hui Yinghong, the future seemed to be a distant thing, and only the difficult life at present was the most real. At that time, in the red light district, there were also many girls who had to survive as bar girls in order to make a living, when Lu Yu asked About Hui Yinghong: "Then you have spent so long on the street, sometimes do you think that you may also go to that step?" ”
Hui Yinghong said frankly: "Definitely not." When they were young, there were not a few complicated things seen on the street, at that time, in addition to Hui Yinghong, there were also many children on the street who were also stubbornly living, and the complexity of the street made them feel that as long as they could live a good life, they had to find another way to survive.
At the age of 12, Hui Yinghong studied at school in the morning and went to a nightclub as a dancer in the afternoon. During that time, in order to survive, Hui Yinghong also worked hard to learn dance, which made her usher in an important turning point in her life later.
In the process of participating in an audition, Hui Yinghong was selected by director Zhang Che to star in the movie "Bad Head Ho". At the same time, Hui Yinghong also ushered in the beginning of her career as an actor, signing a contract with the famous Shaw Company in Hong Kong at that time, where Hui Yinghong became an actor.
02
At that time, the Hong Kong film market was mainly based on martial arts films, and male actors were obviously more competitive than actresses. Because most actresses are actually quite resistant to "playing", on the one hand, it is easy to get hurt, on the other hand, it is easy to let the audience stereotype.
Because of this, there were still few actresses in the film industry to pick up this type of fight scene. But Hui Yinghong did not care about this, after receiving the invitation of "The Legend of the Eagle Hero", Hui Yinghong devoted herself to it, and finally successfully created the role of "Mu Nianci". This TV series left a deep impression on the audience at the time, and Hui Yinghong also became famous in the circle with this film.
Shortly after this, Hui Yinghong was promoted by director Liu Jialiang and began to star in a number of martial arts films, becoming a "beating girl". In those years, for Hui Yinghong, it was an infinite scenery, in this short period of more than ten years, due to catering to the needs of the film market, coupled with her own efforts, Hui Yinghong's fame can be said to be quite high.
At the age of 21, she won the title of Best Actress at the first Hong Kong Film Awards for her film "The Elders", which was a major affirmation for her acting career. Before that, she also made a lot of efforts, and for acting, she said: "I hope that in the camera, when everyone looks at me, my picture is good, which is a good actor." ”
For acting, Hui Yinghong always has her own persistence. Although filming and playing scenes often face a lot of stumbling, But Hui Yinghong gritted her teeth and endured, resting for surgery has become a common thing, and at the same time, the image of "beating women" she has achieved has also been unanimously appreciated by the audience, after all, there are too few actresses who can really fight.
Originally, Hui Yinghong thought that such an acting path would be good to go all the way, but she did not expect that a few years later, the rise of literary and art films made hui Yinghong, who was famous, begin to face the embarrassment of taking over the role. In the first ten years of her debut, the roles played by Hui Yinghong were basically women and women, but when the rise of literary and art films came, the roles that Hui Yinghong could receive were already three or four women.
This strong sense of gap made Hui Yinghong feel a huge loss, her career suddenly fell to the bottom, and Hui Yinghong also began a five-year depression period.

Gradually, Hui Yinghong chose to fade out of the show business circle. At the beginning, Hui Yinghong also saved a lot of money over the years, but she was frustrated about the decline of her career, but she did not pay attention to it.
At that time, she spent a long pastime without taking the role, and when she no longer appeared as a star, Hui Yinghong did not wear makeup, and went out to play mahjong with friends every day in a casual state, and her life was very leisurely.
Until one day, when Hui Yinghong sat in the car and saw the rearview mirror of the car, she suddenly felt very shocked. Because her hair in the mirror is messy and her face is oily, this makes her once a big star suddenly ask herself in her heart: "Why did I become what I am now?"
It was also at this time that Hui Yinghong carefully thought about her future path. At that time, she thought that if the profession of actor could not be done, she would try some other professions, and finally she chose to set up a beauty salon.
Compared with the initiative of being a star in the past, the establishment of a beauty salon is very passive. From the establishment of the beauty salon to the later operation, Hui Yinghong has experienced many ups and downs.
At the beginning, Hui Yinghong also tried to get used to such a model, but when she really became the boss lady, she found that it was also difficult to do her own business. Most of the time, she feels that she is smiling every moment, whether it is for her own customers or employees, she has to work hard to accept each other's emotions to ensure the normal reasons of the beauty salon.
Over time, this long-term state made Hui Yinghong begin to have self-doubt, and at that time, she also suffered from depression because of the decline of the market and her feelings.
Constantly taking medicine, coupled with long hours of pressure, made her directly into a bottleneck. After that, Hui Yinghong chose to close the beauty salon and stayed at home.
Life seems to have lost hope at once, and some are just meaningless cycles. In this case, Hui Yinghong's condition became more and more serious, and the most serious one, Hui Yinghong could not even go out for more than a month.
This long vicious circle finally pushed her to a desperate situation one day. After a conversation with a friend, Hui Yinghong chose to commit suicide, hoping to escape the reality in front of her.
Fortunately, the friend realized that she had suicidal thoughts, so he found her family, which avoided a tragedy.
After waking up, Hui Yinghong looked at her sister and mother in front of her and couldn't help but shed tears of regret. At that time, she thought in her heart: "What is the obstacle that cannot be passed." ”
After this, with the encouragement of her family and the encouragement of friends around her, Hui Yinghong stepped out of the shadows and began to return to filming. In 2009, when she stood on the stage of the Academy Awards again with her own efforts, she couldn't help but shed tears: "I once wanted to give up my life, but now I know, I am still an actor, and I belong to the movie." 」 ”

Hui Yinghong's life has experienced a total of three relationships, the first relationship ended in a crush, the second relationship failed after not long, and only the third relationship lasted for a long time, but eventually ended in hurt.
In 1988, in order to change the audience's "boy" label for a long time, Hui Yinghong deliberately went to shoot a group of photo albums, hoping to make people feel her feminine beauty, and also to tell everyone that she was actually a girl, not a cool boy in the shot.
Originally, this was actually a beautiful youth memory, but I did not expect that this became the fuse of Hui Yinghong's relationship at that time. At that time, the object of Hui Yinghong's love affair was also a rich second generation. The two have been in a relationship for a long time and have a very stable relationship.
But at a party after Hui Yinghong finished filming this photo album, a friend said to Hui Yinghong's boyfriend: "I read your girlfriend's photo album and felt that she was in good shape." It was such a sentence that made Hui Yinghong's boyfriend feel humiliated.
At that time, the two originally made an appointment to go out to dinner with their friends, but finally the boyfriend directly called Hui Yinghong and said: "If you don't want to eat this time, you don't have to go, I have a lot of friends." ”
It was such a remark that made Hui Yinghong feel hurt. Later, when she mentioned this matter, Hui Yinghong confessed: "I was thinking of breaking up immediately, thinking that if he couldn't tolerate me now, then what would he do in the future." ”
Shortly after this, Hui Yinghong decisively chose to break up and devote herself to her career.
To this day, Hui Yinghong is still active in the show business circle, and over the years, she has left a deep impression on people with many classic works.
At the age of 60, she is always single, but still elegant. Perhaps for her at this stage, she can cherish every day of the moment, and it is enough to shoot good works for the audience, and the rest is left to time.
