"Green bamboo green yo pi xia light, spring seedlings unearthed yo greet the morning sun, facing the wind and rain long, stronger than flowers, members of the heart rooted, sunshine to feed the spring seedlings ..." This is the theme song of the old movie "Spring Seedlings Unearthed to Greet the Rising Sun", because the melody is beautiful, once popular, and many people still sing.
The heroine of this movie is the former famous film actor Lee So-myung.
Speaking of Li Xiuming, I have to say that in the 1980s, the "three golden flowers of the Northern Shadow" of the film queen - Zhang Jinling, Liu Xiaoqing and Li Xiuming. The reason why they can become "three golden flowers", first of all, due to their talent and acting skills, followed by their luck, you know, the first drama they debuted starring in is still a well-known movie that people still remember to this day, Zhang Jinling is "Crossing the River Reconnaissance", Liu Xiaoqing is "The Great Wall of the South China Sea", and Li Xiuming is "Spring Miao".
"Spring Miao" starring Li Xiuming is a film directed by Xie Jin, Yan Bili and Liang Tingduo, starring Li Xiuming, Feng Qi, Da Shichang, Gao Baocheng, Zhang Yu and other actors, praising the new things of rural barefoot doctors, produced by Shanghai Film Studio, released in 1975.
After the release of "Spring Seedlings", it immediately caused a sensation across the country. In 1976, the magazine "People's Film" was launched, and the cover of the inaugural issue used stills of "Spring Miao". Also in that year, the then Ministry of Culture conducted a selection of feature films from 1973 to June 1976 (equivalent to the current Hundred Flowers Award and Huabiao Award), and the final rankings were: 1. "Chunmiao" (starring Li Xiuming); 2. "Break" (starring Guo Zhenqing); 3. "The Second Spring" (starring Yu Yang); 4. "Shining Red Star" (starring Zhu Xinyun); 5. "Unforgettable Battle" (starring Da Shichang); 6. "Qingsongling" (starring Li Rentang), which shows the influence of "Chunmiao". As for "Spring Miao", it was beaten into the "Cold Palace", that was later.
Li Xiuming played Tian Chunmiao, the female captain of a large brigade in Jiangnan in the film. As the heroine, Li Xiuming became famous in one fell swoop, especially her big eyes, which became her unique symbol. Even Liu Xiaoqing, who had won the Hundred Flowers Award, admired Li Xiuming.
In 1981, "Three Golden Flowers of The Northern Shadow" Zhang Jinling, Liu Xiaoqing and Li Xiuming jointly participated in the movie "Xu Mao and His Daughters". In 1980 the year before, Liu Xiaoqing won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 3rd Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards for starring in "Look at This Family". In an interview with reporters, Liu Xiaoqing sincerely commented: "Li Xiuming is very good at acting, and I am willing to play a supporting role for her after winning the 'Hundred Flowers Award'. In "Xu Mao and His Daughters", she played the fourth girl, and I played her sister The Seventh Girl, and when I watched her perform, I kept saying, 'You acted too well in this film'. To be honest, judging from the performance skills of this film alone, I am willing to bow to the wind. ”

Li Xiuming was born on December 9, 1954 in Tianjin, with his ancestral home in Langfang, Hebei. Li Xiuming has loved literature and art since she was a child, and at that time, she could sing almost all songs and model plays. In 1972, after graduating from junior high school, she was admitted to the student class of Tianjin People's Art Theater. In 1973, after graduating, he remained in the theater as a announcer and actor.
At that time, Li Xiuming looked very watery, and a pair of dark and shiny eyes were particularly energetic. Chen Qiang, a famous actor who came to Tianjin from Beijing to select actors for the "Haixia" crew, was very happy to see Li Xiuming, thinking that she "can talk with her eyes" and was a rare good seedling of art, so he took Li Xiuming to the North Film Studio to audition and train. Although li xiuming failed to participate in the film "Haixia" for various reasons, she has been favored by Beiying and starred in a more important movie "Spring Miao".
This year was 1975, and Li Xiuming co-starred in "Spring Miao" with Feng Qi and Da Shichang. In 1976, she was officially transferred to the Beijing Film Studio.
After that, Li Xiuming continued to star in and participate in many films such as "The Young Generation", "Julan", "The Great River Rushing", "Sweet Career", "Tonight the Stars Are Brilliant", "Xu Mao and His Daughters", "Peacock Princess", "Qiu Jin", "The First Woman in the Mountain Forest", "Your Smile", "Dream of the Red Chamber" and so on.
Moreover, Li Xiuming has starred in movies with some famous actors many times, such as she and Dashi Chang have starred in "Spring Miao" and "The Young Generation", and starred with Tang Guoqiang in "Tonight's Starry Night" and "Peacock Princess".
After 1988, due to the downturn in domestic films, Li Xiuming also felt that her youth was no longer there, so she had the intention of learning vocal music, and she really learned from her teachers, and held a personal concert in Beijing a few years later. However, the music did not bring her new glory.

In the early 1990s, the economic tide swept through Shenzhou. In 1993, after Li Xiuming participated in the movie "Burning Snowflakes", he began to bid farewell to the film industry and go to the sea to do business.
With a bright future, she was bent on entering the business circle, which was firmly opposed by her husband, who was an officer in the North Sea Fleet. Without the spiritual support of her husband and the financial assistance of her husband, Li Xiuming had no choice but to divorce.
Li Xiuming's second husband, Cheng Jiushi, was a businessman himself. Once, Li Xiuming and her husband audited a course "Marketing" taught by Professor Wu Tongguang of Beijing Finance and Trade College, which made her see a different life from that of an actress. Later, she became a trainee in the postgraduate class of "Marketing" at Beijing Institute of Finance and Trade.
In 1993, a friend brought back two buckets of potato chips from the United States, which provided inspiration for Li Xiuming to enter the business world. The couple chose a bitter, tiring, slow-return on investment industry – producing potato chips. In 1994, she and her husband set up Yuntong Marketing Planning Co., Ltd. outside the Beiying Studio, specializing in "Everyone's Treasure" potato chips. In 2000, the total sales volume of "Big Treasure" exceeded 100 million yuan, selling well in more than 30 major cities. In 2002, the couple sold the company to PepsiCo, and then took their son and daughter to settle in Canada.
The picture below shows the latest photo of the couple and colleagues, of which the third from the left is Cheng Jiushi and the fourth from the left is Li Xiuming.
Today, 65-year-old Li Xiuming has long become a rich man, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, through hard work, she not only has wealth, but also let her family live a quiet and rich life. It's just a pity that she never set foot in the film world again, but left the glory and amazement of the past in the audience's memory.
Bless Lee and her family.
