"That Year the Flowers Bloomed and the Moon Was Full" is currently on the air, and people are surprised to find that the person who plays Grandma Sun Li is Hong Kong actor Gong Ci'en, who has not appeared in a long time. In the 1990s, the martial arts drama "Snowy Mountain Flying Fox" was all the rage. Cheng Lingsu and Bing Xueer, played by Gong Ci'en, were the childhood goddesses of a generation.
Gong Cien was born in 1963 and is 54 years old this year. She debuted in 1984 and graduated from the Hong Kong Wireless Artist Training Course.
Gong Ci'en's parents are Christians, so they named their daughter Ci'en, hoping that her daughter would have a compassionate heart. Gong Cien is the only child in the family and has loved singing and dancing since she was a child.
Gong Ci'en could only play some inconspicuous supporting roles when she debuted. Later, the filming of "Greater Hong Kong" starring Chow Yun-fat and Kwan Lijie was about to begin. The original heroine Lam Jieying was frozen by TVB due to disobedience. Gong Ci'en replaced Lam Jieying as the heroine and became an instant hit.
Gong Ci'en's works include "Greater Hong Kong", "The Yang Family General", "Journey to the West", "Snowflake Excalibur", "Snow Mountain Flying Fox", etc.
Gong Cien looks gentle and pretty in ancient costume. His most famous work is "Flying Fox in the Snow Mountain", in which he plays the two roles of Bing Xue'er and Cheng Lingsu. Among all the film and television versions of Cheng Lingsu, Gong Ci'en is the most beautiful and classic one.
In "Snowflake Excalibur", Gong Ci'en played the heroine Nie Xiaofeng from a young girl to an old age, and she had a bad relationship with Jiang Dawei's Luo Xuan, and she performed it vividly.
Gong Ci'en and Huang Rihua fell in love when they were filming "The Yang Family". At that time, Huang Rihua already had his fiancée Liang Jiehua, and the media generally believed that Gong Ci'en was a mistress. In 1986, Huang Rihua and Gong Ci'en spent Christmas Eve with friends. Gong Ci'en wanted to leave midway, but Huang Rihua refused, thinking that his girlfriend should accompany him. The two had a verbal conflict, and Huang Rihua even wanted to hit Gong Ci'en, but his friend persuaded him to stop. In the end, the two broke up due to personality differences, Huang Rihua and Liang Jiehua reunited, and Gong Ci'en went to Taiwan to develop.
When Gong Ci'en was filming "Flying Fox in the Snow Mountain" in Taiwan, she fell in love with Taiwanese actor Lin Wei who played Fu Kang'an. Lin Wei is three years younger than her. The two got married in Vancouver in 1999 and have a son and a daughter. Daughter Lin Kailing inherited Gong Ci'en's beauty. Mother and daughter often shoot advertisements and attend events together.
Although Gong Ci'en has passed away in her prime, she has a happy family, a considerate husband and lovely children. Compared with many TVB actresses, her life can be considered successful.
