"The beauty of the Hong Kong River is so beautiful that countless heroes are in competition." In the golden age of Hong Kong's film and television industry, a group of great beauties with different appearances and temperaments emerged. Li Jiaxin, Carina Lau, and Joey Wang are all examples of the beauty of the times.
Although some of the actresses have not been popular, the roles they play are also irreplaceable classics in the hearts of the audience. They are called "bead beauties" and Li Qihong is one of them.
If you just say Li Qihong's name, the audience may not be able to think of her for the first time, but when you talk about Guo Xiang of the 95 edition of "The Legend of Condor Heroes", everyone will suddenly realize.
On October 27, some netizens uploaded a few recent photos of Li Qihong. This is an extremely rare exposure since she left the circle. I don't know, but I was shocked when I saw it. The charming and lovely "Little Guo Xiang" in the original impression was also wrinkled, just like yesterday's yellow flower.
, who is regarded by many fans as a little girl, had reached the year of knowing the destiny, so she had to sigh with emotion that time has passed like a white horse, and the flowers will not be a hundred days red.
In fact, speaking of Li Qihong, it is still a great regret in the hearts of movie fans who love Hong Kong's film and television culture.
1. When I was young, I got into the film world.
Looking back at many well-known film stars in the Hong Kong film industry, you will find that their experience of entering the film and television industry is a bit similar to the 108 heroes of "Water Margin", with a kind of "forced to Liangshan" Helpless.
Indeed, after the establishment of the Hong Kong Wireless Training Course that year, many grassroots young people in the society were provided with survival opportunities. Many Hong Kong celebrities initially entered the film world through the examination and training courses, such as Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Stephen Chow, etc. There is another way for
to enter the Hong Kong performing arts circle that year, and that is to participate in the Miss Hong Kong contest.
In 1994, Li Qihong participated in the Hong Kong sister election and won the third place in the final final, ushering in an important moment in her short life. No one knew about
at the time. This was Li Qihong, 24, a rare lucky moment in her life.
Li Qihong was born in Hong Kong in 1970. The family conditions are not very good. From the beginning of her memory, she grew up in a rather stressful environment.
People in the past believed in "moving the tree to die and the man to live" and were keen to travel far away to seek life. Li Qihong moved to Canada with her parents when she was young, but leaving her hometown did not improve the situation of this family because she did not understand English when she first arrived. It also made Li Qihong feel a deep loneliness in spirit since childhood.
But fortunately, although her family is poor, Li Qihong's relationship with her family is still deep. Because she witnessed the hard work of her parents in her childhood, she learned to do her best to share the difficulties of life for her family from a very young age, and would take the initiative to help others wash the dishes. Make a small amount of money to supplement the household.
But after all, manpower cannot compete with fate. There is a life situation called "the leaked house is rainy night."
Li Qihong's mother suffers from a family-hered mental illness. After years of hard work, she fell prematurely. At the same time as her mental condition had problems, her body could no longer support high-intensity work.
Since then, Li Qihong has assumed the responsibility of supporting this family. After she grew up, she finally felt that she could not adapt to life in a foreign country after weighing it. She made the decision to return to her homeland. Perhaps it was destiny that she should be transported. , It was the Hong Kong sister's election that changed his future.
At the awards ceremony that night, Li Qihong, who was in her love for life, had hopes for the future in her eyes. She stood on the stage like a star, illuminating the audience who loved her.
2, who was born to be an actor,
got the place in the Hong Kong sister election. In fact, the road ahead of Li Qihong is very clear. According to the usual law, it is to be an actor and film the scenes arranged by the company.
Many viewers actually have a lot of prejudice against Hong Kong sisters. They think that they have good looks and have no acting skills. They will only serve as a foil for the hero and play the role of a vase.
but Li Qihong is not.
It is difficult to say, when you encounter Guo Xiang in "The Legend of Condor Heroes", it is Guo Xiang who made Li Qihong, or Li Qihong who made Guo Xiang.
Before her, Huang Manning and Zeng Huaqian had both played Guo Xiang. In terms of appearance, they are not inferior to Li Qihong, butOnce Li Qihong's version of Guo Xiang was born, it seemed to have set the tone for this role, and some people even commented that after Li Qihong, Guo Xiang no longer exists.
Throughout the various versions of Guo Xiang, there are no lack of beautiful, quirky, cute and naughty, but only Li Qihong, who combines Guo Xiang’s cuteness, intelligence, infatuation, and well-being just right together, her infatuation does not appear artificial. , Is the most sincere expression of the twenty-eight girl's first love story, her smartness does not appear to be intricate, full of the dexterity of a green girl's first foray into the world.
Let's look at a slight comparison.
Yang Mi's version of Guo Xiang faced Yang Guoshi who had taken off her mask. She chose to cover her mouth and open her eyes. In fact, this kind of performance is all right, but under Huang Xiaoming's slightly stretched hips, the reaction of Yang Mi's version of Guo Xiang is like being frightened by the narcissism of the Condor Heroes, rather than the surprise of the girl.
and Li Qihong's version of Guo Xiang, seeing Yang Guo taking off his mask, he was taken aback for a moment, inevitably widening his eyes, but then he looked away and his face quietly blushed.
is not pretentious at all, one is stunned, the other turns his head, and the girl Guo Xiang is very vivid.
No wonder Li Qihong deserves this high degree of praise. At that time, Li Qihong of
did not know that this role would become her classic masterpiece. When she played Guo Xiang at that time, her acting career had just begun.
In the first five years, Li Qihong showed how she became popular step by step as an actor of "Grand Master Appreciating Food and Eating". In the third year of her debut, she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Hong Kong Film Awards twice for her role. Although she failed to win the award, her ability to be shortlisted already represents Li Qihong's strength.
When Yi Yang Qianxi was nominated as the winner of the Golden Horse Awards, the audience understood that he might not win the award, but at such a young age, judging from the acting experience, the nomination was affirmed. The same goes for Li Qihong.
Since then, Li Qihong has nominated the Best Supporting Actress at the Academy Awards for her "Self Comb" and "The Bleeding Shadow", but unfortunately, she did not win this time.
In 1999, she and Su Youpeng co-starred in the costume TV series "Peerless Double Pride", playing the role of Xiao Yuer's lover "Little Pepper" Zhang Jing.
This year, she is not very young, but she still shows Zhang Jing’s hot and scorching side vividly. Her Zhang Jing, together with Su Youpeng’s Hua Wucai and Zheng Jiaying’s Jiang Yulang, has become this film and television drama. The outstanding presence is impressive.
3, at the peak, the rapids retreat bravely
, there will be profits and losses in the month, and the water will overflow when it is full.
Li Qihong’s career may be destined to leave a trace of regret. If she was allowed to develop unrestrainedly in her acting career, she might not have achieved higher results with her strength. But just as he was racing towards a glorious future, fate suddenly pressed the pause button for Li Qihong.
It was 2002. In that year, Li Qihong and the tortured herself who lived in Canada and left her hometown had a world of difference in life, but she never dreamed that what she desperately wanted to escape back then was actually so many years, one step Never leave yourself, maybe this is called fate.
The family hereditary psychosis that caused her mother to collapse suddenly, when Li Qihong was 32 years old, she quietly approached her.
Because of filming all year round and working hard in the circle, Li Qihong has to bear no less pressure than her young self. After years of hard work, Li Qihong’s body is difficult to withstand such high-intensity work, and there is a mental problem. Later, as everyone knows, I suffered from depression.
Many people actually have a misunderstanding about depression, thinking that it's just a low mood, as long as they find a way to make themselves happy, it can be cured.
But in fact, depression is a kind of disease. It is not as simple as depression that everyone will experience. There are many pathogenesis mechanisms. In simple terms, it is like a part of the body is broken, which will prevent it from physiologically. People perceive the joy of life, and all this does not depend on human will.
As Li Qihong herself, all she can feel is that she is getting unhappy every day.It is said that Li Qihong at that time was a year of suicide inexplicably, and when he drove well, he wanted to hit the bridge.
Being an actor needs to perceive people’s happiness, anger, sorrow and sorrow, and integrate them into the lives of different people. Maybe other actors can well extract this emotion, but for Li Qihong, perceiving the pain of the role again and again will only Exacerbated the development of her condition.
In such a situation, she chose to rest, and this rest was nine months.
Li Qihong, who appeared on the screen again, changed her way of acting greatly. She no longer carefully studied those characters full of tragic colors, and tried her best not to touch the heavy image settings. For the sake of her body, she could only accept In some light comedies, the characters played are also thinner. A role like
is certainly helpful for physical recovery, but there is a qualitative difference from being a good actor.
Although the fans love Li Qihong like this, she herself has shown a superb optimism. She named her social account "Rainbow Li Qihong after the rain" and tried to make herself grin every time she appeared in front of others. , Looks happier.
Before and after the stage, Li Qihong is desperately fighting against life, struggling with her optimistic attitude. Such Li Qihong, in fact, from the perspective of today, it is inevitable that people feel a little bit sad, after all, she was once a good actor so close to success.
4, opening up the second home game of life
In 2004, Li Qihong married without warning. The other party was a successful man of Canadian nationality. Since then, Li Qihong has reduced her exposure to the outside world, perhaps because of mental pressure, and she has not been allowed. Continue to fight for the acting career.
It is said that Li Qihong installed her new home on the sparsely populated mountain in Vancouver, Canada, at an altitude of 1,500 feet.
spent the first half of her life in the crowd. Li Qihong lacked the opportunity to be alone with herself. After setting up her own small family, she finally has the ability to choose the way she likes to live. Maybe peace is her biggest pursuit at the moment.
Later news broke that Li Qihong learned nursing knowledge by herself and became a qualified nurse.
After she became famous in the show business circle, she was able to open her second home court in middle age and continue an optimistic life with another look. This is not easy for most people.
Compared to life under the spotlight, Li Qihong may prefer to help care for patients in the emergency department. Li Qihong will feel very happy when she sees the patient recovering health through her own care. This happiness is no less than that of her shortlisted for the Academy Awards. Nominate.
Some people say that when people reach middle age, they must learn to make subtractions for their lives, delete complicated ones and keep things that are most important to them. Li Qihong does this.
Conclusion
Now Li Qihong has faded out of the entertainment circle. Even if she sees her, she walks in the streets and alleys with a very natural appearance. She may not be as beautiful as she was when she was young. Perhaps the wrinkles are no longer tender and fresh. But when she looked at her carrying big bags and running very vigorously, who can say that this is not another kind of peace of mind?
Li Qihong at this moment has faded from the star's aura and becomes an ordinary person like the audience. She is still confident and energetic. She is no longer known, but found the life she yearns for. It can be said that she has become everyone The ideal of a dead star. When
was 24 years old, the audience put the starlight on Li Qihong. At the age of 50, Li Qihong returned the starlight to her fans.
