She hardly knows how to use modern electrical appliances, and she can only make and receive calls on her mobile phone.
hardly goes out, and his only entertainment activities at home are watching TV, playing with dogs, and playing mahjong on his mobile phone.
After going out to walk the dog alone on the show, she excitedly called her sister and nanny. She said that this excitement was more fulfilling than filming a scene.
When asked about his biggest regret, Liu Xuehua said frankly, "Of course, I have no children."
She said that in ten years, she will definitely go to a nursing home.
Because I live alone, I am not afraid of anything else. I am afraid that no one will know if I fall down one day. The nursing home also has good medical conditions.
Liu Xuehua, who is in her late twenties, has bright smiles and well-maintained eyes. The wrinkles on her face add a bit of elegance that has accumulated over time.
"Queen of Tears", "Qiong Yao Professional", and "Queen Queen Mother" are all her names. Life is like a drama. After more than 40 years of debut, Liu Xuehua's life story is already more exciting than Qiong Yao's drama.
01. Fledgling
Liu Xuehua originally started his career in Hong Kong films. Because he has been filming Qiong Yao dramas all year round, Liu Xuehua was mistaken by many people for being Taiwanese.
Liu Xuehua was born in Beijing in 1959. She moved to Hong Kong with her family when she was 5 years old. Because there were snowflakes in the sky when she was born, her parents gave her the name "Xuehua".
Liu Xuehua's father graduated from Hujiang University and is quite knowledgeable. Therefore, he attaches great importance to his children's education and has strict tutoring.
Liu Xuehua has been learning Chinese painting since she was 12 years old. Her painting skills are quite good, but she has not embarked on the road of painting.
As the youngest child in the family, she has been loved since she was a child and has an innate confidence. Unlike other brothers and sisters who are obedient, Liu Xuehua's seemingly well-behaved appearance hides a rebellious heart. .
She is good at shot put and often participates in sports secretly. Because Liu's father does not allow her to exercise strenuously, she is afraid of being discovered, so she hides her dirty sneakers in school. She kept them in school for a year and did not dare to take them home. .
She likes sports. She has short hair and doesn’t like to dress up. She always wears sportswear, like a little boy. Until she was in the third grade of middle school, a teacher praised her for her beauty. After complimenting her, she didn’t forget to ask her to help her run errands. Buy water.
Liu Xuehua had the idea of acting when she was very young. When she was in elementary school, she wrote her own scripts and played various roles. She even deliberately attracted other people's attention on the bus and suddenly cried sadly, performing Look sick to see if anyone will notice you.
However, Liu Xuehua’s father lived a traditional life and was unwilling to let his daughter appear in the public eye. After his father’s friend Lin Chuchu personally came to persuade him, his father relented and agreed to Liu Xuehua’s entry into the entertainment industry.
Lin Chuchu
At that time, the Great Wall Film Company in Hong Kong was recruiting students and selected a dozen from more than 2,000 people. The parents felt that their daughter would probably not be selected, so they allowed Liu Xuehua to try. Unexpectedly, Liu Xuehua successfully passed the exam in one try.
Father Liu, who was conservative at first, was a little worried, but there is one good thing about Great Wall Company. Every time he shoots, he must be picked up and dropped off by car, and he never shoots night scenes. His life is very regular, and his father gradually recognizes his daughter’s talent. Actor's job.
The tough-talking and soft-hearted father Liu also secretly kept a whole box of his daughter’s newsletters, photos, magazine covers, etc.
In 1978, Liu Xuehua starred in his first movie "Can't Help It" and officially entered the entertainment industry.
Liu Xuehua became the company's favorite. During her four years at the Great Wall, the company made a total of eight films. She starred in six of them, but they all failed at the box office and received mediocre responses.
was criticized for having too fierce eyes when he appeared in the TV series "The Good Thief".
Liu Xuehua also received a letter of thanks for this. One viewer said that he was about to take an exam. After seeing Liu Xuehua's eyes on TV, he was so scared that he didn't dare to watch TV anymore. As a result, he got good grades in the exam.
In 1981, after Liu Xuehua's contract with Great Wall Film Company expired, Hong Kong TVB also offered the attractive condition of "cooperating with Chow Yun-fat " and wanted to sign a contract with her. After Liu Xuehua refused, he turned to Shaw Brothers Film Company .
is not used to be sweet and charming for ordinary girls. Liu Xuehua's somewhat hoarse voice is more recognizable.
Liu Xuehua, who looks gentle and graceful, mostly played tough and heroic chivalrous characters when she first debuted. She has never been approached by romance films. When she was a child, she loved reading Qiong Yao's novels and was looking forward to starring in Qiong Yao's dramas.
In 1983, Liu Xuehua starred in the TV series "Girl Cixi" produced by ATV. He became famous and ushered in a turning point in his career. After
became famous in Southeast Asia, she was invited to perform a song for the King of Thailand. There were times when she was out of tune, she forgot the words, and she even caused her partner to be out of tune, but she still finished the song confidently.
02. Getting to know Qiong Yao
In 1984, Liu Xuehua left for Taiwan to develop and starred in " Proud Jianghu " and "Swordsman".
In the second year, Liu Xuehua was appreciated by director Liu Lili and was recommended to Qiong Yao. After becoming acquainted with Qiong Yao, he participated in Qiong Yao's drama "How many times the sunset is red ". His partner at the time was the popular niche Qin Han .
Liu Xuehua recalled that she was very nervous when she first went to Qiong Yao's home, as she felt like she had met a god in her heart, but Teacher Qiong Yao was very kind to her, and the two had a great conversation.
From then on, Liu Xuehua became a "Qiong Yao professional" and successively starred in Zhang Hanyan in " The Courtyard Deeply ", Lu Yiping in " Misty Rain", Fang Yiyi in "The Dumb Wife", "Green River Grass" ""'s Zhu Shulan and many other Qiong Yao characters left a deep impression on people.
In 1987, "The Courtyard" successfully won the ratings championship with an rating of more than 50% , creating a ratings miracle for Qiong Yao dramas in the 1980s.
The heroine Qiong Yao must not only be beautiful, but also look pitiful. Chen Derong , Ruby Lin , Qin Lan and others are all top-notch beauties.
Huang Yi once said that Qiong Yao’s criterion for selecting actors is that the crying scene must be beautiful.
"An actor must have tears in his eyes when crying. When he has almost finished speaking his lines, the tears fall one by one and cannot hang on his face."
As the lines and scenes change, the left eye and The number of tears in the right eye should be different.
Liu Xuehua is such an ordinary "little genius in crying drama". Her tears are very heavy, one big drop at a time, and even the falling time seems to be calculated, gentle and touching.
Some people commented that her crying scenes came out one after another, and each drop of tears fell like a pearl. She also won the title of "Queen of Tears".
At that time, almost all the dramas she starred in were co-starred by Liu Lili, Qiong Yao, and Qin Han. Later, when Liu Lili was not directing a drama, he took over other people's dramas and brought Liu Xuehua with him, but did not say hello to Qiong Yao. , but when Qiong Yao found out, she felt that the two of them had betrayed her, and she was sad for a while.
Liu Xuehua has always known how to be grateful. She feels that she cannot get to where she is today without the help of her seniors, so she never hesitates to support new actors.
She once met Fan Bingbing at the top of the stairs. She thought the little girl was very good-looking, so she asked her for a photo and contact information, and said that she would recommend her to Teacher Qiong Yao if she had the opportunity.
I thought it was just a scene remark, but Liu Xuehua really took it to heart and praised it in front of Qiong Yao, which led to the golden lock in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" later.
Maybe this is just a piece of cake for Liu Xuehua, but for Fan Bingbing it is a breakthrough and turning point in life.
03. A bumpy love journey
Liu Xuehua, who has some Electra complex, mostly finds boyfriends who are 6 or 7 years older than her.
She once fell in love with a wealthy businessman surnamed Tao. At first, the age difference between the two was opposed by Liu Xuehua's family. The wealthy businessman liked playing mahjong very much and even took Liu Xuehua to play with him, but she was unwilling to be a quilt. The canary in the cage finally broke up.
Liu Xuehua had a brief relationship with Zhang Peihua when filming " Six Dreams ". When the weather was cold, Zhang Peihua would thoughtfully cook something for everyone on the set. After a peaceful breakup, the two chose to return to being friends. Keep getting along.
Qiong Yao also wrote " Xue Ke " specifically for the two of them.
In 1990, Liu Xuehua and the passionate prodigal Liu Dekai met in the TV series "Love in the Wind". Liu Dekai fell in love with the young and beautiful Liu Xuehua at first sight.
Liu Dekai was born in a film family. His father is a Hong Kong director and producer, and his brother is also engaged in film shooting. He is the protagonist of "What you lost is just a leg, but what she lost is love" in "A Dream in the Curtain". The scumbag Fei Yunfan is Huang Taiji in "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang",
is also the actor of Jiang Ziya in "Feng Shen Bang: King Wu Conquers Zhou".
Liu Dekai's handsome appearance has fascinated thousands of girls and also captured Liu Xuehua's heart.
At that time, Liu Dekai concealed the news that he was married and launched a crazy pursuit of Liu Xuehua. This relationship also earned her the reputation of a "mistress".
Liu Dekai’s wife is Taiwan’s national treasure dubbing actress Wang Jingping. She has dubbed for hundreds of film and television dramas. After only two months of dating, Liu Dekai proposed to Wang Jingping in a taxi.
The two held a wedding in a hurry. After getting married, Liu Dekai rarely took care of the family. After having children, he rarely even went back home. He was too busy having a heated relationship with another actor Xu Guiying because Liu Dekai was unwilling to marry. She and the two also ended up breaking up.
It is a pity that Liu Xuehua is a complete love brain, and she completely fell into love after meeting Liu Dekai. After Liu Dekai begged and agreed to divorce his wife, she did not choose to break up. She became pregnant before marriage but was tragically abandoned.
At that time, the "double love" was so intense that it even reached the point of discussing marriage.
The news that the two were planning to get married was even published in the newspapers.
When Liu Dekai heard about Liu Dekai's idea of becoming a director, Liu Xuehua invested 30 million out of his own pocket to support it.
In 1992, Liu Dekai was invited to star in "A Dream in the Blind Side", which required him to go to France for filming. Liu Dekai promised to marry Liu Xuehua, who was pregnant, after returning. Liu Xuehua had also been looking forward to her wedding with her boyfriend.
Some time later, Liu Xuehua, who was waiting hard for her boyfriend to return, was told by her boyfriend that he had moved on and had a different relationship. Liu Dekai unilaterally canceled their wedding with just one phone call, ending the relationship.
It turns out that as early as the filming of "A Dream in a Curtain", Liu Dekai had a heated relationship with Angel, a 20-year-old French actress on the crew.
The sad Liu Xuehua accidentally fell down at home and was already bleeding heavily after being sent to the hospital. The operation saved Liu Xuehua's life, but failed to save the unborn child. As a result, Liu Xuehua had her uterus removed, and was deprived of the right to become a mother. .
Liu Xuehua, who lost her child, also had the idea of committing suicide.
On the other side, Liu Dekai began to prepare for his wedding to his new love, An Qi. The marriage did not last long, and ended in divorce a few years later.
Liu Xuehua avoided Liu Dekai's name, but he was also grateful. Without his empathy, the two of them might have lived their lives in confusion. It was his grace not to marry that allowed him to meet his future husband.
After the story of Liu Xuehua and Liu Dekai was exposed, Liu Dekai has been labeled as a "scumbag".
This made Liu Xuehua feel a little guilty about Liu Dekai. She said, "Whether he (Liu Dekai) is good or not has nothing to do with me, but I saw The reports on the Internet felt that it was over. Because of me, he was reviled and attacked as a scumbag. How did his children and family feel when they saw it?"
04. Finding true love
In 1999, under the introduction of her ex-boyfriend Zhang Peihua, Liu Xuehua met the famous Taiwanese screenwriter Deng Yukun. This unattractive man healed her injured first half of her life.
Deng Yukun had a failed marriage and was 13 years older than Liu Xuehua. He said that when he first met Liu Xuehua, he felt like a beam of light came in.
Deng Yukun also wrote a small poem to confess to Liu Xuehua, "The ice heart is better than the snow, and the spring calyx is the most beautiful."
When the two got married, they deliberately chose the special time of 9 o'clock on September 19, which means long-lasting.
After getting married, Deng Yukun sold her property in Hong Kong and moved to Shanghai. She cared deeply for Liu Xuehua and took care of all the chores in life. The two also showed their affection in public many times.
When his wife is unhappy, Deng Yukun will also write various love words and apologies to make her happy.
When Liu Xuehua goes to filming, she will bring a piece of clothing that smells like her husband and put it under the pillow, as if he is still by her side.
Unfortunately, God failed and the two could not wait until they grew old together. This marriage between Qin Se and Ming only lasted 12 years.
In 2011, Deng Yukun unfortunately slipped and fell to his death. Liu Xuehua couldn't stop crying at her husband's funeral, saying, "In my heart, I just thought he went on a trip, and he would come back after a while."
She left her husband's inheritance to his ex-wife and children, in order not to The filming progress was delayed. Only 7 days after her husband passed away, she returned to the crew and continued filming, using work to numb herself.
Even though her heart was filled with endless sadness, fortunately, she got through it with strength.
After her husband passed away, Liu Xuehua, who was helpless, lived alone.
She began to focus on her work, and successively took over the filming of "Gong Lock Heart Jade", " The Legend of Zhen Huan ", "Splendid Weiyang", "Flowers Fade and Flowers Flying All Over the Sky", " You Are My Destiny ", "Ultimate Note" and other film and television works.
has earned the title of "Queen Mother Professional" because he often plays roles such as the Queen Mother in costume dramas.
There are many elderly people like Liu Xuehua living alone in life. They may not have children and may not be able to take care of them all the time. Some may even have had accidents but no one knows about them and can only wait to be discovered at home.
Not only are their lives and health likely to have problems at any time, they also face a lack of emotional communication.
They may not take the initiative to socialize and may be out of touch with modern society.
But we can give them a helping hand when they are in need and provide warmth from strangers.
From his initial resistance to socializing in variety shows to his bold attempts later, Liu Xuehua also learned new skills in ordering takeout with the help of his young roommate.
The program ended and when everyone parted, Liu Xuehua still shed tears of reluctance.
After half a life of ups and downs, the perseverance and wisdom in the eyes of 60-year-old Liu Xuehua are unparalleled.
The years have polished her edges and corners, and also made her light shine even more.
Although Liu Xuehua was a little regretful that she could not give birth to a son and a half daughter, Cheng Huan, her free life now has a lot less pressure and she is living a very comfortable life.
has gained and lost, suffered setbacks and experienced growth.
The most important thing is to find a living situation that suits you. Don't be deliberate, don't force it, and don't cater to it.
After all, comfortable is the best.
