Ruan Lingyu, one of the most representative female movie stars in silent films in the 1930s, along with Lu Xiaoman, Lin Huiyin, and Zhou Xuan, are known to the world as the four beauties of the Republic of China.
With beauty, good acting skills, and young age, Ruan Lingyu should have had a perfect life. Even if she couldn't be as free and easy as "Movie Queen" Hu Die, she should at least live happily and comfortably. It is a pity that although she has a dazzling external life, her inner world is extremely inferior and poor.
01
This is inseparable from her biological mother, He.
Movie fans who are familiar with Ruan Lingyu should know that she was born in a not wealthy family. Her father died of illness when she was six years old, and she and her mother He began a life of dependence on each other.
all say that the shadow of childhood will accompany a person throughout his life, so will childhood life also affect a person's character development?
In order to survive, He had to work as a maid in the Zhang family, a wealthy local family. At a young age, Ruan Lingyu also lived with her mother in the Zhang family, living a life of being dependent on others.
Here, they live cautiously, fearing that if they do anything wrong and cause the owner's displeasure, even so, they will still get a cold look from the owner, and even in school they are inevitably ridiculed by their classmates. Years of living like a "slave" made Ruan Lingyu feel inferior and cowardly. This mentality could not be changed until she became a nationally sensational star.
As Ruan Lingyu’s mother, a working woman at the bottom, He only thought about supporting her daughter, but neglected the education of her growth, and passed on her negative and pedantic thoughts to her, which led to Ruan Lingyu. The biggest reason for inferiority complex.
02
Since the age of 16, Ruan Lingyu has taken on the responsibility of earning money to support her husband Zhang Damin. The heavy burden made her breathless. Later, the "farce" between Zhang Damin, Ruan Lingyu and Tang Jishan also left her physically and mentally exhausted. Fortunately, during this period, the arrival of a little girl saved her withered heart.
This is a little girl who was adopted by 17-year-old Ruan Lingyu when she was still a baby. She has seen all the beauty and bitterness in her growth process. The name of this little girl is Tang Zhenli. Yes, she is the same as Ruan Lingyu’s second boyfriend Tang Jishan. surname.
Tang Zhenli and Ruan Lingyu were together for eight years, until when she was eight years old, 25-year-old Ruan Lingyu committed suicide and died. After that, Ruan Lingyu's boyfriend at the time, Tang Jishan, took care of her. I don't know whether she really likes this cute little girl or out of guilt for Ruan Lingyu's death. Tang Jishan, who has always been known as a playboy, was ruthless towards her previous girlfriends, but she was particularly caring when it came to taking care of her goddaughter.

He raised Tang Zhenli until she grew up, paying her monthly for ten years.
Also with Tang Jishan's financial help, Tang Zhenli lived quite well. Not only did she successfully complete her studies, she also took on the responsibility of taking care of Ruan Lingyu's mother, He. She served He until her death and then left China with her husband.
After Tang Zhenli left China, there was no record about her. Maybe she didn’t want her life to be disturbed by outsiders, or maybe she didn’t want to recall the sad past of the death of her adoptive mother Ruan Lingyu, or she didn’t want to bear it again. She lived as the "adopted daughter of Ruan Lingyu". In short, it was only known that she later went to Thailand to settle down, and there was no news from then on.
Conclusion
No matter how it ends, I think in Tang Zhenli’s heart, she will always remember the good times she spent with Ruan Lingyu, and that memory will be permanently sealed in her mind until the end of her life.
Even if she is alive now, Tang Zhenli will be nearly 100 years old. They will eventually meet on the other side of heaven.
