Her death not only shocked the showbiz, but also the whole of Shanghai and the whole country, and even attracted the attention of the US media.

Before Ruan Lingyu, another younger female star also died of suicide.
This female star is called Ai Xia , dramatist Tian Han is the first Bole to discover her talent in acting.She was once the pillar of the progressive literary group Nanguosha. Her roles in films such as "Good Harvest", "Spring Silkworm", "Children of the Times", "Old Hatred and New Sorrow" have a sharp personality, a scorching body, and a physique. It is also enchanting, and was evaluated as "sexy wild cat on the screen" by inside and outside the circle.
She committed suicide at 5 a.m. on February 15, 1934. When she left the world, she was only 22 years old. According to records, she was also the first female star to commit suicide in the Republic of China.
When the news of Ai Xia's suicide came out, it also shocked the country. Various newspapers published hundreds of news reports or articles, or mourned or described or analyzed it. Journalists of all sizes were asking the truth: Why did she commit suicide?
because Ai Xia also left a masterpiece before she died, "Teach me another lesson today. There is deception everywhere. I now abandon everything and repay my conscience!" So let the media unanimously guess whether she was due to love. die?
In the second year after her suicide, Ruan Lingyu also chose to end her life in this way, perhaps because of Ai Xia's influence.
Ruan Lingyu was born at the bottom of society. Her father was a worker, and her mother was a domestic servant. Her family was poor and humble. She lost her father at the age of 6, and followed her mother to the end of her life. The huge sense of lack in her heart led to her love for her father. , Desire for a stable family life.
It is this kind of strong desire that makes her fall into the whirlpool of emotion prematurely.
her first man Zhang Damin ,He is the fourth son of Mr. Zhang, the owner of his mother’s work. He is a typical dude who is idle and messing with flowers and grass. After meeting Ruan Lingyu, he was shocked to be a god, so he used all his efforts and enthusiasm to pursue her vigorously. He has never received much love since childhood. Ruan Lingyu, how can he withstand such an attack by the swinger?
Regarding this point, Ruan Lingyu himself admitted: I am too weak, and I can't stand the good of others. If someone treats me nicely, I would really love him crazy! "
she quickly handed over herself to him. Unexpectedly, Master Zhang found out about them and was so furious that she fired Ruan Lingyu’s mother in angrily and swept her mother and daughter out. _span4pimg _p7span
Ruan Lingyu
Ruan Lingyu and Zhang Damin did not give up on this, but the fire of love grew more and more flourishing, and the two finally eloped and lived together. _span4 pspan1 _span4 pspan1 The fire came fast and went fast. It didn’t take long for Zhang Damin to show his true shape, eating, drinking, prostitution, and gambling. He got into the habit of gambling and he soon had no money to support her.
It was also at this time that Ruan Lingyu walked out. The family has worked hard to enter the star film company, stepped into the show business circle, and quickly opened up a reputation with outstanding acting skills, and the career has become popular across the board. It's broken.
Zhang Damin lost his family property and owed a huge debt. No amount of money Ruan Lingyu earned was enough for him to squander. Originally, he wanted to obtain a stable emotional comfort, but he did not expect to become a shameless man asking for it. Cash machine.
It was not until this time that Ruan Lingyu realized that this man was not a beloved.
She wanted to break up with him and draw a line completely, but Zhang Damin saw that she became a corner and could still make a lot of money. How could she let it go? Ruan Lingyu couldn't agree with him at all, so she had to take the initiative to move out of his house in order to get away from his entanglement.
As a result, Zhang Damin still asked her for money at every turn, threatening to expose her private life.
At this moment, another man, Tang Jishan appeared.
Tang Jishan, a wealthy businessman, is a veteran in the field of wind and moon, chasing women has more means than Zhang Damin. While being entangled by Zhang Damin, Ruan Lingyu was chased by Tang Jishan, and finally moved directly into Tang Jishan's small mansion and became his woman.
After a while, a woman called her, and she tried to persuade her to leave Tang Jishan, hoping that she would not go back to her own way, and claimed that Tang Jishan is not a good man.
this woman,It is the ex-girlfriend who was abandoned by Tang Jishan from beginning to end Zhang Zhiyun .
Zhang Zhiyun is also a well-known female star in the film industry. She is also the first film queen in the history of Chinese film.
Ruan Lingyu did not follow the advice of this person, and still lived with Tang Jishan. As a result, Zhang Damin immediately got into trouble after learning the news. In the end, Ruan Lingyu paid Zhang Damin 100 yuan for living expenses (two years) Until) the conditions to reach a contract to break away from the cohabitation relationship.
Don't underestimate the living expenses of 100 yuan. In the Republic of China, one yuan (a piece of ocean) is equivalent to 80-100 yuan now, and 100 yuan is about 8000-10000 yuan!
He regarded her as an inexhaustible cash cow. Ruan Lingyu regrets how greedy Zhang Damin is.
In order to get rid of him as soon as possible, Ruan Lingyu paid the money in advance, but Zhang Damin still did not let her go, and even sued her for adultery with Tang Jishan. It is precisely because of this accusation that Ruan Lingyu became a street. The heroine of the alley talk, what bad women, love triangles, master-servant adultery, chaos in private life, etc. gossip everywhere instantly;
newspaper headlines such as "Ruan Lingyu's Adultery Case" and "Love Triangle Dispute" In the end, Ruan Lingyu was unbearable for being prosecuted for the crime of adultery, "Marrying Tang is for the sake of property" and so on. Tang Jishan also turned her face ruthlessly, either restricting her personal freedom or violently assaulting her in public.At the same time, she rolled onto a bed with her friend Liang Saizhen.
Her reputation was discredited by public opinion. These two men made her completely desperate, and she finally chose to sever herself under tremendous pressure.
Ai Xia, who also committed suicide, was born in a wealthy family but was forced to arrange marriage by her father. She was betrothed to a businessman surnamed Lin, who was nearly 40 years old when she was only a teenager, and she was in her mind at the time. She had long been interested in someone who was her childhood sweetheart's cousin (many examples of cousins getting married at that time) dissatisfied with her father’s arrangement that she wanted to run away with her cousin, but the cousin didn’t have the courage, so she had to escape from the house and came to the beach in Shiliyangchang. Fortunately Joining the Nanguo Society and getting Tian Han's support to grow up as a movie star, but met Li Pingqian, a romantic man.
Li Pingqian has a family and a wife, but after seeing Ai Xia, she still chases after her.
This man is different from ordinary married men who are deceived. He didn’t conceal anything. Instead, he took the initiative to tell Ai Xia that she was married and hated her. When she was not married, Ai Xia mistakenly thought he was a man The sincere man pretended to say that he had a bad relationship with his wife. He had already negotiated a divorce. He showed Ai Xia his divorce application and promised to marry Ai Xia after the divorce.
Ai Xia and Li Pingqian
Where did the young Ai Xia win his argument? Even if her good friend Wang Ying tried to persuade her to find an innocent man to have a good relationship, it failed to prevent Aixia Moth from living together with him.Waiting for him to divorce and marry her.
As a result, her fate was the same as Ruan Lingyu. Li Pingqian quickly betrayed her. At the same time, his wife also wrote to her to inform her clearly that her husband never wanted to divorce her. Li Pingqian's so-called divorce The applications are all fake, and everything is his means to soak you smoothly.
The double whammy caused Ai Xia to completely collapse. In addition, her father's business collapsed and her family was in debt collection all day long, and she begged her to go home and marry the old man surnamed Lin to ease her urgent need.
Ai Xia was desperate, and finally chose to commit suicide.
Ruan Lingyu and Ai Xia, although from different backgrounds, have the same destiny.
Ruan Lingyu, the public tends to think that she was killed by the media, while Ai Xia thinks that she was killed by a man too thoroughly. In fact, it can be said that it is, or it can be said that it is not.
First, because I am in the big dyeing tank of the showbiz, there are many comments and opinions. The people in this circle are pointed out by others because of their private lives. This is the ecology of her living environment. She is not the only actor and actress who has been poached by the media due to the relationship between men and women. Besides, if the mouth is on others, can you stop them from saying anything? Even ordinary people, in a unit, a community, or a village, will inevitably be made irresponsible remarks. If they have a strong mentality, they just ignore themselves. The reason why they care too much is because they are too weak and take themselves seriously. Now;
two because of Ruan Lingyu’s two men,After all, it was her own choice, not a helpless act made under pressure from others. To be more serious, she still knew people wrongly;
and Ai Xia was tricked and played by a married man, and it was also her own Take the initiative. When the other party clearly tells you that you have a family and a wife, you are still determined to follow. The ending of this fate is also written by yourself.
Their biggest problem is that they go astray without knowing it, and cannot listen to any advice when others are kindly reminded. For example, Ruan Lingyu does not listen to Liu Zhiyun’s persuasion, Ai Xia does not listen to her friend Wang Ying's persuasion, this is actually a kind of arrogance-
thinks that based on their status, reputation and good looks, how can they be willing to treat themselves badly?
They just overlooked this:
It’s human instinct to love the new and dislike the old. There is no man in this world who loves only a woman in his life , The man’s heart is always loaded with more desires:
Jiangshan, Qian or Quan, and more women.
If they can understand that the purpose of human life is not only for feelings, for a man, but completely for themselves, they will not choose to die easily.
It’s not easy to come to this world,In the end, it was the most regrettable thing to die for love (man/public opinion).
