Not long ago, it was Chen Xiaoxu's 56th birthday, and many viewers and close friends who loved her have dedicated their thoughts and reluctance to her in their own ways, and also set off a wave of memories of her.
As soon as the 87th edition of "Dream of the Red Chamber" was released that year, Chen Xiaoxu caused a strong response among the people.
At that time, the streets and alleys were filled with photographs of her, and posters of her at the bedside and at the end of the bed were everywhere.
Chen Xiaoxu was born in a family with a strong artistic atmosphere, and his parents were literary and art workers.
His father, Chen Qiang, was a graduate of the Chinese Opera School and later went to the Anshan Peking Opera Troupe as a director.
On weekdays, chen qiang often hums a few words at home, and he will also teach his young daughter how to sing, and as long as the father and daughter have free time, they will play against each other.
Her mother, on the other hand, is a dance teacher who teaches her daughter to dance in her spare time.
Chen Xiaoxu inherited the characteristics of his parents' appearance and personality and talent, and from an early age, he was very tall and intelligent, no matter what it was, he would learn it as soon as he learned it.
What is important is that she has clear eyebrows, looks very agile, and can arouse endless pity from cluster to cluster.
Chen Xiaoxu, who grew up in a loving environment, has her own choice - ballet.
She wanted to fly as proudly as the white swan, and she wanted to be as strong-willed as the white-haired woman.
When Chen Xiaoxu was 12 years old, he was able to complete the difficult action of kicking the purple gold crown backwards, which can be described as a talent.
Chen Xiaoxu's interests and hobbies are also very extensive, she loves to dance, she also loves to perform, and she also loves to write.
"I am a willow flower" published at the age of 14 made people see her pure heart, and constantly inspired people to explore the heart of this young girl.
In that era, there was no entertainment, and Chen Xiaoxu loved to read magazines when he was at home. It was also this hobby that changed her life.
By chance, Chen Xiaoxu found that the crew of "Dream of the Red Chamber" was selecting actors nationwide.
She mentioned this matter in the small talk with Bi Yanjun, and Bi Yanjun advised her: "Your temperament is very consistent with Lin Daiyu, it is better that you try this role." ”
Chen Xiaoxu worried that he was not competent, but in the end courage overcame timidity, and he wrote a letter to director Wang Fulin, along with several photos of himself.
When Wang Fulin looked at the photo, he felt that Chen Xiaoxu was the most suitable lin daiyu candidate in his mind, and immediately replied to Chen Xiaoxu.
Although Chen Xiaoxu's temperament is extraordinary, he still has to come to participate in the audition, and then he has to go through training.
Looking at Wang Dao's handwritten letter, Chen Xiaoxu was overjoyed.
She began to study "Dream of the Red Chamber" day and night, and carefully pondered Lin Daiyu's character.
Whenever she encounters something in her life, whether it is interesting or happy, she will think about what she would do if this was Lin Daiyu.
After more than half a year of preparation, Chen Xiaoxu embarked on a journey to Beijing in 1984.
She came to the Yuanmingyuan and worked with a group of peers with the dream of being an actress for the final examination after three months.
Fortunately, Chen Xiaoxu won the final victory in this competition with a crushing posture.
What awaited her was three years of shooting.
Chen Xiaoxu strives to make himself and Lin Daiyu one, trying to imitate Lin Daiyu's every move in the book.
Even if Bi Yanjun went to visit the class, Chen Xiaoxu would communicate with him in the state of the play.
Just as the so-called "no crazy devil, no life", if Chen Xiaoxu did not have this momentum of obsession with drama, presumably she would not be able to create such a classic film and television image.
The years flew by, and the time came to 1987 in the blink of an eye, and after three years of shooting, "Dream of the Red Chamber" was officially completed and landed on the TV platform for broadcast.
At that time, people did not have any entertainment activities, and even TV dramas had just emerged for a few years, so "Dream of the Red Chamber" attracted thousands of people as soon as it was broadcast.
The audience looked at the "Lin Sister" on the screen who was shy and waiting to be released, and for a time, Chen Xiaoxu became a "national goddess".
Both men, women and children love her, and even many people name their children with the word "Xu", or directly call "Xiao Xu".
First, it is to pin "love" for Chen Xiaoxu; second, it expresses high hopes for the children, hoping that they can also achieve excellent results like Chen Xiaoxu.
Chen Xiaoxu, who became popular overnight, did not be blinded by the environment of the stars holding the moon, and in her opinion, even if she was famous, she was just an actor.
Therefore, she has never forgotten her identity, nor has she forgotten the love from the Anshan Troupe.
Shortly after the release of "Dream of the Red Chamber", Chen Xiaoxu announced her marriage, and the object was Bi Yanjun, who was ten years older than her and worked in the Anshan Theater Troupe.
As soon as this news came out, many people "felt pain in their hearts", and everyone thought that Chen Xiaoxu should not be so "young and early married".
In the eyes of many people, Chen Xiaoxu is the character who came out of the book, and she is the Lin Daiyu in her mind.
And Chen Xiaoxu's Lin Daiyu, after the precipitation of time, has long become an irreplaceable classic.
Although "Dream of the Red Chamber" has been remade many times later, no one can become the "Lin Sister" like Chen Xiaoxu.
However, Chen Xiaoxu, who became a hit, did not particularly like this kind of glitz.
She is a quiet person, just want to live her life quietly, but she can't hurt the hearts of fans, so she has to bear huge pressure and accept media interviews.
In the face of overwhelming scripts, Chen Xiaoxu has her own principles, and she only plays those roles that she loves.
Therefore, for a long time since starring in "Dream of the Red Chamber", Chen Xiaoxu has not filmed.
Until I saw Cousin Mei in "Family Spring and Autumn", in Chen Xiaoxu's view, the melancholy and introvertedness revealed by Cousin Mei was his own shadow.
Chen Xiaoxu seems to be unable to get out of this gloomy role, in order to change her mentality, she chose to go to the sea to start a business at the peak of her career.
With her high popularity and flexible mind, Chen Xiaoxu's Beijing Shibang United Advertising Co., Ltd. was in the sky, and she herself was selected as "China's Outstanding Advertising Women 30" in 2004, and the following year she was awarded the title of "World Manager of the Year".
The accumulation of wealth and the surge of fame made Chen Xiaoxu feel more and more empty.
She began to look for spiritual sustenance in the Buddhist scriptures, looking for the meaning of life.
She first invested in the filming of the Buddhist TV series "The Four Precepts of The Mortals", and then directly shaved her family.
To this day, there are still many videos of Chen Xiaoxu after shaving on the Internet.
Although she cut off her long dark hair, the temperament emanating from her eyebrows did not relent.
Without hair, the features of her facial features became more and more obvious, like sculptures.
"Since ancient times, beauty is like a hero, and it does not make the world see whiteheads."
Maybe a beauty like Chen Xiaoxu, she has amazed the world, it is enough, and everyone can't see her old appearance. In 2007, when Chen Xiaoxu became a monk, she unfortunately passed away.
Previously, she was already seriously ill and could not be cured for a long time.
Perhaps, Chen Xiaoxu, like Lin Daiyu, is weak in body, weak and can't help the wind, even if he has not suffered from wind and rain, he will be destroyed by the world.
In 2008, Chen Xiaoxu's father, Chen Qiang, found a permanent resting place for his daughter, the Tianshou Cemetery, and built a luxurious statue next to his grave.
On May 13, the day of Chen Xiaoxu's anniversary, her family came here with their ashes in their hands and a deep sense of pain.
The saddest of them was her father.
The old man endured the torture of the black-haired man sending the white-haired man, and even though a year had passed, he still choked up several times and knelt on the ground when he looked at his daughter's ashes.
On the day of the ashes placement ceremony, many important personnel in the crew of "Dream of the Red Chamber" were present.
Among them, director Wang Fulin, screenwriter Zhou Ling, "Baochao" Zhang Li, "Miaoyu" Ji Yu and other familiar faces were all present.
As for Deng Jie, she flew back from Canada on an international flight overnight, looking at the "Lin Sister" who had turned into ashes in front of her, and she cried bitterly.
At that time, the Wenchuan earthquake had just occurred, and there were aftershocks from time to time. And "Brother Bao" Ouyang Fenqiang is far away in Sichuan, the flight can not take off, can only regret missing this placement ceremony.
Perhaps this is the providence of the underworld, in the play, Lin Daiyu died, Jia Baoyu failed to send off; in reality, Chen Xiaoxu died, and Ouyang Fenqiang could not send it.
Chen Xiaoxu loves flowers, and Lin Daiyu also loves flowers, so at the burial site, flowers are naturally indispensable.
Countless white roses, yellow chrysanthemums and stars were placed on the spot, so that these 6,000 flowers accompanied Chen Xiaoxu to sleep here.
The funeral of Dai Yu is a very classic scene in "Dream of the Red Chamber", and Chen Xiaoxu is buried in the dirt like this flower.
"Last night, the song outside the court was issued, do you know that it is the soul of the flower and the soul of the bird?" The soul of the flower and the soul of the bird are always difficult to stay, and the bird is ashamed of itself without words; may Nong be born with wings on this day and fly with the flowers to the end of the sky."
Since then, there has been more Chen Xiaoxu in heaven, but there is no more Lin Daiyu in the human world.
After so many years, people's love for Chen Xiaoxu has not diminished.
Every year on May 13, there are "Liu Shu" who go to the Tianshou Garden to worship, and they can't help but stop there to reverie how Chen Xiaoxu, who is far away in heaven, has lived.
"Furong is like a thrush, it's been another year for Sijun. Thirty years of labor in the Red Chamber, with the column independently fall on the day of flowers."
As an actor, Chen Xiaoxu can still have this memorial after her death, which is enough to prove her unshakable status in people's hearts.
