Qin Yi
Zhang Ailing said that life is a gorgeous robe, crawling with lice. In the 1950s and 1960s, the film industry gradually rose two popular new stars, Qin Yi and Qin Wen, just like this gorgeous robe, the two of them were called "sister flowers" in the film and television circle, and they were also blood relatives in real life. The world often only sees the beauty of the robe, but ignores the lice on the robe.
The sisters are as beautiful as they are, but life is not as glamorous as it seems, and if you have to compare, although the career of the younger sister Qin Wen is not as good as that of the sister Qin Yi, the family is happier than the sister, and there is no pain like the sister behind it.
Qin Yi Qinwen, whose ancestral home is Gaoyou, Jiangsu, was born and raised in Shanghai. The older sister was born in February 1922, ranking sixth; Qin Wen was born in April 1928, ranking tenth. It is rumored that the sisters were the thirty-third grandson of Qin Guan, and the family's property at that time included the commercial street of the City God Temple. Before Qin Wen was born, the family road had already declined.
The burden of ten girls in the family was too heavy, Qin Yi and several children were carried to the nursery as soon as they were born, and the eldest sister could not bear it, and she was carried back. Qin Wen grew up in the art of education, and his father Qin Lichen took them to watch new movies and read Western books. And the uncle is a former Qing Xiucai, who is familiar with classical books. Several children played in their uncle's study from an early age and had their own understanding of literature.
In 1938, Qin Yi could not stand the poison of feudalism and decided to run away from home to Chongqing. There, Qin Yi gave full play to her literary and artistic advantages and performed in the "Zhongwan Opera Troupe" and was rated as the "Four Famous Dans" on the drama stage. Soon, Qin Yi went to work in a Chinese film studio and became an actress. Friends thought she was beautiful enough to destroy Troy, so they named her Helen, and the prime minister even praised her as "the most beautiful woman in China."
Qin Yi put it under today's aesthetic standards, can not be said to be a stunning beauty, but there is a unique beauty of traditional Chinese women, it is: "lips are not points but red, eyebrows are not painted and green, the face is like a silver basin, eyes are like water apricots." And the character is square, and the appearance is rich. And Qin Wen dropped out of school halfway through, and the work subsidy was a poor family. She's done sales and she's been a worker.
When Japan surrendered in 1945, Qin Yi was able to return home in Shanghai from Chongqing. Qin Wen was extremely happy to see his sister, and there were endless words to say next to his sister. Qin Wen asked his sister if he could be an actor, and Qin Yi took it to heart and paved the way for his sister's affairs.
Sister Qin Yi took good care of Qin Wen. Soon after, Qin Yi introduced the job position of "Xinmin Bao" to her sister in order to facilitate the study of cultural knowledge. Here, Qin Wen met Deng Shusheng, a predecessor in the press and publishing circles, and Wu Zuguang, the founder of Xinmin Bao, who later gave Qin Wen his current stage name, from Qingwen in Dream of the Red Chamber;
And Deng Shusheng proposed to her, and the two were happily married. At qin yi's suggestion, Qin Wen chose to apply for the Shanghai Drama College to study hard for performance training. In 1948, Qin Wen first appeared on the screen, and the audience was surprised because the girl looked similar to Qin Yi, but there were subtle differences.
Qin Wen
After liberation, Qin Wen was moved by the anti-feudal story and threw himself into the Jidong Cultural and Labor Troupe to participate in the performance. Mining areas, factories... Qin Wen entered the hearts of the workers. Because of overwork, Qin Wen contracted tuberculous peritonitis two years later and had to return to Shanghai for convalescence. By chance, he entered the Shanghai Film Studio.
In 1952, he starred in the first anti-special feature film "Cut off the Devil's Claw", Qin Wen played the female secretary Lu Jiahui, Qin Wen was very beautiful and generous, very pleasing to the audience. In the following years, she played a female college student in "For Peace" and an underground party member in "Mother", and the response was enthusiastic. To this end, the studio raised her level by two levels.
In 1956, in order to take care of Deng Shusheng's work in Beijing, Qin Wen was transferred to the North Film Studio. In her work, she became a first-line female star at that time, and in life, Deng Shusheng was obedient to her, and the husband and wife loved her. The two have two children, daughter Deng Xing and son Deng Shu.
The elderly Qin Wen suddenly suffered a stroke and was paralyzed in bed, and Deng Shusheng stayed by the bedside and took good care of him until Qin Wen's death in November 2008. He died on December 31, 2012 at the age of 8 Daughter Deng Xing also entered the film industry, interpreted many representative roles, and married oil tycoon and capital tycoon Wang Jiawei.
The younger sister's life is happy, while the sister Qin Yi's life is not so lucky. Qin Yi began to come out early to earn money to support her family, never lived for herself, she knew how to dedicate, but did not exchange for a good ending. Qin Yi experienced two marriages, and her husband failed her. The first husband was a drama actor, the beautiful man Chen Tianguo. Chen Tianguo fell in love at first sight and proposed to 17-year-old Qin Yi, who was naturally rejected by Qin Yi, and Chen Tianguo threatened to commit suicide.
Two sisters
Qin Yi was frightened and married him in a vacuum. After marriage, Chen Tianguo drank heavily and beat up qin Yi, who was pregnant, causing her to fall ill after childbirth. Chen Tianguo even premeditated the child to be given away. Qin Yi couldn't bear it and divorced. Later, Qin Yi met Jin Yan, and Qin Yi quickly fell in love with him and was carried away by love.
Even others said that the golden boy and the jade girl were as beautiful as if they were made in heaven. Kim Yeon is a Korean, his father rebelled against the rule of the enemy, the family moved to the northeast, and the famous work is "Wild Grass Idle Flowers" filmed with Ruan Lingyu. The two flashed marriages in Hong Kong, and the witness was Guo Moruo. Soon after the marriage, Qin Yi gave birth to a son, Jin Jie.
Unfortunately, Jin Yan also had the problem of alcoholism, and often drank heavily. Jin Yan's machismo is very serious, Qin Yi's career is busy, Jin Yan is secretly unhappy, and this marriage is soon coming to an end. When Qin Yi was not at home, Jin Yan and the actress secretly had an illegitimate child. What's worse is that Qin Yi discovers that the object of Jin Yan's derailment has become his own sister Qin Wen, who is smarter, more charming and angry than her. When Qin Yi went out to shoot, Qin Wen completely replaced her. For a moment, she had no idea what to do with the two people she loved most in her life and who had betrayed her.
Golden Flame
Qin Yi proposed to divorce Jin Yan, but he did not agree. So the two separated, and this separation lasted for a full thirty years, until Jin Yan died of stomach bleeding in 1983. Shortly after his death, his son was diagnosed with mild schizophrenia from depression and later to mania, where he died in 2008.
Paralyzed, crazy, small, old, she had no time to think about personal problems. He took care of the family by himself, personally bought rice and noodles, washed and cooked, and waited at the bedside. Over the decades, Qin Yi has had 4 serious illnesses, 7 times of surgery, and even suffered from rectal cancer in the 1960s.
A few years ago, the 98-year-old Qin Yi was awarded the national honorary title of "People's Artist", and everyone said that she was "beautiful across the century", and beauty did not make her life avoid tragedy. On the contrary, although Qin Wen was more successful than Qin Yi in her career, her family life was very complete. With his sister Qin Yi, who loves him, deng Shusheng, who is considerate of himself, and a pair of children who have a good life, fame and fortune may not really be so important compared to family and love.
