Have you ever met someone who made you think "Wow, that's so cool!"? Yin Ruzhen is such a cool grandma, so what is so cool about her?
was at its peak when it debuted, winning many Korean film and television awards. However, she died at the best age and became a full-time housewife. Her husband had been mentally controlling her for more than ten years. After getting divorced, she left the house and started to do side jobs in order to support her children.
html won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress at the age of 73. You must know that although South Korea is famous for its film and television entertainment, no one before Yin Ruzhen has won an Oscar. Participating in the reality show became the focus of all the young people. This is the elegant and cool Yin Ruzhen.Yin Ruzhen’s first half of life
Yin Ruzhen was born in Kaesong, South Korea in 1947. At that time, her family was relatively well-off. But God seemed to think that such a life was a bit too smooth. When Yin Ruzhen was ten years old, her father passed away, and her mother could only shoulder the heavy responsibility of making money to support the family.
In that era when everyone had little money, it was really not an easy task for a woman to make money to support her family.
Yin Ruzhen's mother can be said to be an inspirational woman. While taking care of her young children, she obtained the nurse teacher certification. She was also the first woman in South Korea to obtain this certificate. Under such a family education , both Yin Ruzhen and her sister Yin Rushun are very motivated and have excellent grades.
Yin Ruzhen studied in the Chinese Language Department of Hanyang University. She often went out to work and study.
During the holidays, Yin Ruzhen worked part-time at a television station. Over time, she occasionally participated in auditions. In 1966, Toyo Broadcasting recruited actors from the whole society, and Yin Ruzhen also participated and successfully made her debut.
Yin Ruzhen seems to have a bit of adventurous spirit in her bones. She gave up her studies after her debut. This is really like a gamble for a girl like her who has no background and can even be said to not even be considered a popular aesthetic beauty.
Yin Ruzhen has never been a beauty. She was admitted to Toyo Broadcasting solely because she was the only girl among all the people who took the exam who could completely say the next line.
Even so, Yin Ruzhen joined without hesitation. According to her appearance, it is no surprise that she received supporting roles, such as maids and other roles. Yin Ruzhen was neither disappointed nor complaining, but gave life to each character according to her understanding.
In 1971, Yin Ruzhen took on the drama "Fire Girl" and served as the heroine of the drama. This drama tells the story of a third-party nanny who had an affair with the male host, and was later discovered and persecuted by the hostess and her husband. Then she woke up and left with revenge. Yin Ruzhen played this little nanny, and she also won two awards for this drama.
Many people asked afterwards why Yin Ruzhen was invited to play the role? The subtext of this sentence is that Yin Ruzhen is not beautiful, and the answer given by the screenwriter is because Yin Ruzhen has the power to enter an ordinary family and blow up the family.
"Weird face" is used to describe a woman, which shows how unpleasant Yin Ruzhen's appearance is, but fortunately she still has a unique charm, which made her get this drama.
Of course, Yin Ruzhen gave herself a good answer, and the audience also thought she was good, so they selected her to star in the historical drama "Zhang Xibin".
Jang Hee-bin was a seductive-looking woman who was good at using power in the history of North Korea. She was known as the "first temptress" in the history of North Korea.
Yin Ruzhen successfully starred in the play and portrayed the character so penetratingly that she successfully made people all over the country hate her.
At that time, Yin Ruzhen's posters would always have their eyes gouged out because everyone really "hated" her so much. Yin Ruzhen also successfully became the hottest star in South Korea with these two movies.
In 1972, Yin Ruzhen, whose career was on the rise, suddenly announced that she was married and that she and her husband would travel across the ocean. Everyone was surprised. What kind of man could make Yin Ruzhen give up her promising future so decisively?
Yin Ruzhen’s marriage partner is Li Yingnan, a resident singer in a bar.Li Yingnan has thick and messy hair on his unattractive head and wears black-rimmed glasses.
But Yin Ruzhen said that she has no talent. She especially likes talented people, and Li Yingnan is this talented person.
Lee Young-nam is indeed talented. He is the first person in Korea to play and sing with acoustic guitar on stage. He can also draw and is a Korean-American.
But Yin Ruzhen’s friend Kim Soo Hyun did not like Li Yingnan. She said to Yin Ruzhen, "You are transparent, Li Yingnan is not transparent, don't be deceived by him."
Jin Xiuxian didn't want Yin Ruzhen to leave. She tried to bring her good friend back to her, but Yin Ruzhen had no intention of leaving and had no nostalgia. After marriage, Yin Ruzhen followed Li Yingnan to the United States and became a full-time housewife.
Humiliating family life
Yin Ruzhen married Li Yingnan with full love, but her married life was not satisfactory. It can be said that Li Yingnan was trying to control Yin Ruzhen mentally.
Li Yingnan studied theology in the United States. He scheduled his studies and work to a full schedule every day, but did not allow Yin Ruzhen to study.
When Yin Ruzhen was watching TV series to learn English, he would change the channel to watch sports. When Yin Ruzhen was reading a book, he would ask her to cook for him.
Yin Ruzhen does not speak English, and there are no Koreans in her community, so she needs Li Yingnan to guide her in everything she does.
In order to adapt to life in the United States as soon as possible, Yin Ruzhen bought tapes to teach herself English. When she was in Toyo Broadcasting, she learned acting in the cracks. In the United States, she learned English in the cracks.
Yin Ruzhen tried her best to be a good wife and mother. Li Yingnan liked Korean food, and she always found ways to cook it for him. Yin Ruzhen described the mood she had in those years when she took care of Li Yingnan with the mood of reaching for the stars and giving.
Li Yingnan was taken care of very well by Yin Ruzhen. He not only completed his studies but also released two albums, and the money for the album was Yin Ruzhen's salary at that time.
Yin Ruzhen had two sons, and she had always raised them alone. Later, after Li Yingnan graduated, he felt that he should return to South Korea to develop, so he left Yin Ruzhen in the United States to live alone.
Li Yingnan found a new love soon after returning to South Korea. He even shamelessly told Yin Ruzhen that if they wanted their marriage to continue, they would have a "threesome."
This was undoubtedly the straw that broke the camel's back. Fortunately, this time Yin Ruzhen did not continue to fall in love, but suddenly woke up.
Yin Ruzhen's decisions were never sloppy. She soon divorced Li Yingnan and she wanted nothing but two children. Yin Ruzhen was in poverty after returning to South Korea. She didn't know what she could do because she was now 37 years old.
13 years have passed, and the Korean film and television industry has long been updated. Who would ask a nearly 40-year-old aunt to act!
Because in that conservative era at that time, divorce was considered unruly for women, so Yin Ruzhen was not welcomed even if she wanted to return to the entertainment industry.
Even if she was given a role, it would be the role of a divorced woman who traveled across the ocean. Some of the younger generations openly whispered in front of her, "She can only play this kind of role, otherwise who can play that heartbreaking feeling!" Yin Ruzhen pretended not to hear, because she desperately needed money to raise her children.
Yin Ruzhen was very tired during that time and didn't know what she could do, but her friend Kim Soo-hyun always encouraged her, as long as she acted. Finally, the new drama "The Men of the Bathhouse Owner " written by Kim Soo-hyun gave Yin Ruzhen the role of the bitter second sister-in-law. This role was actually tailor-made for Yin Ruzhen by Kim Soo-hyun.
Although the second sister-in-law in the play is over 50 years old and does not look like a serious grandma all day long, this character is the only woman in the whole play who dares to resist. In the play, she lives her own life uninhibited by the world and even got pregnant.
Pregnancy was deliberately written by Kim Soo Hyun. She wanted to tell Yin Ruzhen that divorce is not the end and everything can start again.
Yin Ruzhen also returned to the audience's attention with this drama.
The second half of Yin Ruzhen's life
Yin Ruzhen successively starred in several works with very controversial plots such as "The Affair" and "The Taste of Money", but everyone thinks that the most touching one is her movie " Miss Dionysus ".
"Miss Bacchus" is a movie about an elderly prostitute. Yin Ruzhen does not have any spectacular performance, but it is as deeply rooted in people's hearts as a spring rain. Maybe this is the charm of Yin Ruzhen. She thinks about every character carefully.
In 2021, Yin Ruzhen won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for "Minari". When Brad Pitt presented her with the award, she said:
"Goddess, I finally see you!"
Later, Pitt named her It was difficult to pronounce the words, and Yin Ruzhen also jokingly said:
"Although you always pronounce my name wrongly, you are all forgiven today!"
This old lady's elegance and humor seem to be engraved in her bones. She not only teases her on the awards stage, but is also a joke master in normal times. Many young Koreans like Yin Ruzhen not because of anything else, but because of her frank character.
Therefore, variety shows in which Yin Ruzhen appears are always popular, such as " Yin Canteen " and "Unexpected Journey". An old lady with silver hair sitting among a group of young people talking, and the young people were attracted by her witty speech and frank attitude. This is the charm.
When Kim Go-eun asked her, "Acting is getting more and more difficult, what should I do?" We all thought that this old lady would definitely encourage Kim Go-eun, but unexpectedly she said:
"Well, it will be even harder in the future."
Some young people say, "It's boring to do anything now, it's boring to fall in love, and it's boring to go shopping." But Yin Ruzhen replied, "It's so boring now, and it will be even less interesting when you get older!" Isn't it surprising but also a truth that no one says!
Yin Ruzhen's answers are always a bit sad. It seems that the answers young people want can't be found in Yin Ruzhen, but what does it matter? She is the answer herself. Yin Ruzhen once said:
"Those who said I can't do it are all dead."
When a reporter asked Yin Ruzhen if she had a special display cabinet at home for winning so many trophies, Yin Ruzhen said:
"Well, they are all kept in the basement!"
This old lady seems to have lived a life that everyone admires, but she has paid a lot behind the scenes.
An old lady in her seventies exercises every day and is very disciplined in her life. If she has work the next day, she will fast the day before to ensure that she is light and energetic. Sometimes when she knows she has an interview, she will write her answers a few days in advance. She may not be able to answer most of the questions, but she will always be prepared.
In 2022, Yin Ruzhen was the guest of honor at the Oscars. She knew that one of the candidates was hearing-impaired, so she spent five days in advance learning sign language. This is why this old lady becomes more and more attractive as she gets older. In Yin Ruzhen, old age has become a gift from heaven, and we have seen too many sparkling things from her.
