Speaking of the costume mythology drama "The Legend of the New White Lady", it is indeed the childhood memories of a generation.
With its unique plot setting, this classic film and television work has stood out from a large number of film and television dramas and won the attention of the audience.
The beautiful love story of Bai Niangzi and Xu Xian has won the tears of countless people, and even the Leifeng Pagoda that appears in the play is still a famous tourist attraction.
After the drama was broadcast, in addition to the white snake played by Zhao Yazhi and Xu Xian, who played the male decoration of Ye Tong, Xiaoqing's actor Chen Meiqi was also popular all over the country, she loved to hate clearly, and it was difficult not to love with her decisive nature.
Following this version of the classic "Legend of the New White Lady", many merchants saw the profit and potential of the show, and then intensively filmed the second and third editions.
But no matter how many new versions there are, the classic can not be surpassed after all.
Don't look at Maggie Chen in the play lively and cute, but in real life she is ill-fated.
Abandoned by his biological parents at a young age, he encountered her husband's cheating after marriage, and she miscarried due to excessive mental pressure during pregnancy, and has been unable to have children. How is she doing now?
01
In 1958, Maggie Chan was born into an ordinary peasant family in Hong Kong, China.
In that turbulent era, many families could not guarantee the most basic needs such as food, clothing and warmth, and Chen Meiqi's family was no exception.
But what is even more tragic is that Chen Meiqi's parents have a feudal idea of preferring sons to daughters. In their view, it is necessary to have a son to be considered a successor, so Chen Meiqi, who is the sixth oldest, has five sisters on it.
Before giving birth to Maggie Chan, her parents prayed day and night, hoping to have a son this time.
But the sky did not go according to people's wishes, and in the end, only a girl was born, so her parents hated chen Meiqi's arrival very much.
Coupled with the family's poverty, Chen Meiqi was thrown into a nearby Buddhist hall by her mother shortly after her birth.
It should be known that the Buddhist hall also does not raise idle people, and it is always necessary to pay to have a harvest.
Therefore, little Chen Meiqi is very obedient and sensible, and the abbot in the temple says what she does, and every day she does what she can, so the masters in the temple still love this little girl.
But outsiders are outsiders after all, and Chen Meiqi has understood her embarrassing situation since she was a child, and she will never ask for anything too much like a normal child of the same age.
02
In the blink of an eye, five or six years have passed. One day, the second sister of the family suddenly came to the temple and said that she wanted to take Chen Meiqi home, and the master in the temple naturally disagreed.
This little girl has followed them since she was a child, and now that so many years have passed, she also has some feelings, and she is also expected to become a pillar in the temple in the future, so she will not let anyone go.
And Chen Meiqi, who has been well-behaved and sensible since childhood, suddenly rebelled at this time, and she looked at her second sister, although she was not alarmed on the surface, but her heart was already turbulent.
This was the first time she had felt the presence of her loved ones so strongly since she was a child, so she also wanted to follow her inner thoughts and go home to have a look.
Just when the two sides were deadlocked, suddenly there was a heavy rain in the sky, I don't know whether the heavens gave the master in the temple a warning, or the little master was unwilling to embarrass the little girl, and finally, he relaxed and agreed to let the two go home.
In fact, this day is the birthday of Chen Meiqi's mother, and the second sister has known about the existence of the sixth sister since she was a child, and she also knows that she was sent to a nearby temple by her parents.
She thought that after so many years, her mother must have missed Xiao Liu too, so she took it upon herself to take Chen Meiqi home to surprise her parents.
However, this surprise is not as gratifying as imagined.
Chen Meiqi, who saw her parents for the first time, felt overwhelmed, and when the mother saw her daughter again, she did not cry and weep as she imagined, neither owed nor missed, but the whole family fell into a silence.
That night, Chen Meiqi, who slept with her mother, did not snuggle intimately in her mother's arms like a child of the same age, saying her own whispers, but was silent.
03
The next day, the parents sent Chen Meiqi away again, because they could no longer send it to the temple, this time they sent the child directly to the orphanage, making the child who was not an orphan become a spiritual "orphan".
It was also from then on that Chen Meiqi no longer had any extravagant hopes for home, she believed that relying on herself was the eternal and unchangeable truth, so she became stronger and more independent.
In the days of being alone in the orphanage, Chen Meiqi fell in love with reading, saying that she could see the lives of others when reading, and Chen Meiqi was the same, seeing so many people with the same tragic fate as her finally successfully counterattacking, she also decided not to waste time.
At the age of 16, just in time for TVB to recruit TV artists, Chen Meiqi immediately seized the opportunity to participate in the registration.
Originally, she did not have much extravagance, but fortunately, she was successfully admitted.
In 1972, she really appeared in the audience's field of vision, although she only starred in some unknown film and television works, but this girl's cold and unique temperament is really incomparable to ordinary people.
Soon, she attracted the attention of the big director with her own strength.
In 1978, she was invited to participate in the TVB TV series "Strongman", in which she played the heroine Xiang Huizhi and partnered with the popular male star Zhou Runfa, and finally successfully filmed a 116-episode long-form TV series.
As soon as this TV series was broadcast, Chen Meiqi ushered in the first peak of her career, this 20-year-old girl of wonderful age, not only has excellent appearance and temperament, but also has a high level of acting skills.
Immediately after, she had more opportunities and invitations, and her career prospects were very good.
04
But at this time, Chen Meiqi came to a fork in the road in her life.
It is said that career and love are the most difficult choices on the road of life, and so is Maggie Chen.
At the peak of her acting career, she met Ma Qingwei, a veritable playboy, and Ma Qingwei's father was the famous real estate tycoon Ma Jincan.
At the beginning of Ma Qingwei's pursuit, Chen Meiqi did not think so, she thought that such a playboy was nothing more than falling in love with his own beauty, and after a period of fresh energy, he would no longer be stalking.
But what surprised her was that Ma Qingwei was not a person who gave up lightly.
He pursued Chen Meiqi unremittingly, thinking about her in every detail.
When it was cold, she ran to her crew to send her clothes, and when she was late in filming, she went over to deliver food to her, and from time to time there would be a romantic confession, which made the crew members coax: "Together!" together! ”
It is said that a happy childhood can heal a person's life, and the unfortunate person heals the pain caused by childhood all his life, and Chen Meiqi is the latter.
Since she did not have the love of her parents since she was a child, she never imagined that she could be liked like this one day, and in the end she could not stop Ma Qingwei's sugar-coated shells and promised to fall in love with him.
But I didn't expect that the person with the heart of the flower is also very single-minded, Ma Qingwei and Chen Meiqi fell in love with each other for a year, and the feelings of the two not only did not fade but became more and more intense.
In the end, after a year of love, he stepped into the palace of marriage.
05
Because Ma Qingwei's family was well-off, he thought that his wife should not show her face outside, so he proposed to Chen Meiqi to be a full-time wife at home.
And Chen Meiqi is also willing to be a small woman behind a successful man, living happily under the wings of her husband, and then resolutely quit the show business circle.
Soon after the marriage, Chen Meiqi became pregnant, but before she could get excited, the outside world spread a scandal about Ma Qingwei.
At first, Chen Meiqi still believed in her husband, but until the appearance of Guan Zhilin.
Guan Zhilin, who enjoyed the reputation of "Hong Kong's first beauty", had just ended a failed marriage at that time, and after getting acquainted with Ma Qingwei, the two began to flirt unscrupulously.
Guan Zhilin knew that Ma Qingwei was a husband with a wife, but as a junior, she declared war on Chen Meiqi in a justifiable way.
During her pregnancy, Chen Meiqi often received harassing phone calls from others, and eventually she failed to withstand the mental pressure and miscarried, and she decided to divorce her husband in frustration.
06
In 1988, she returned to show business and starred in her first TV series after her return, "Peerless Double Glory".
Although her fame is not as good as before, the princess gao leng played by her is still popular.
In 1992, the second peak of Chen Meiqi's career arrived.
For starring in the TV series "The Legend of the New White Lady", she is well known to audiences across the country and has become one of the most popular Hong Kong and Taiwan actresses in the inland.
As an actress, she was very successful in creating a classic role that remained in the hearts of the audience forever.
In 1999, 13 years after the divorce, Chen Meiqi met her current husband, Xin Shangyong.
To say that the encounter between the two is also very clever, Chen Meiqi, who lives alone, is very concerned about the living conditions of left-behind children and orphans.
Perhaps influenced by her childhood experiences, she often accompanied her children in orphanages and donated supplies as much as she could.
As usual, when she went to the orphanage to accompany the children, she met Xin Shangyong, who was in line with her three views.
Both of them are very fond of children, and in the process of taking care of children, Chen Meiqi found that this man was very careful and could not help but feel good about him.
07
At this time, Xin Shangyong also boldly expressed his love, saying that he had admired Chen Meiqi for a long time and hoped that the two would have a fate to go down together.
In this way, after less than half a year together, Chen Meiqi decided to entrust the rest of her life to this man.
After marriage, she devoted herself to taking care of one of her husband's children, treating her stepson and stepdaughter as if she were her own child.
In 2008, the couple adopted their adopted daughter, Lucia.
In the same year, during a volunteer activity, Chen Meiqi met an orphan with hydrocephalus who had been abandoned by her parents.
At the moment of seeing this child, she was deeply touched, as if she saw herself as a child, and then decided to adopt her, and her husband also respected her decision.
Now That Chen Meiqi's family is living very happily, I wish this kind woman will get better and better in the future!
