Speaking of female stars who were more active in the 1950s and 1960s, I think many people will never forget it. Yang Yaqin, she created classic roles one after another in that era. Although she later quit the entertainment industry due to emotional changes, her status in the film industry cannot be denied.
She is a favorite actress of her parents' generation. Her acting skills have conquered audiences one after another. I thought she would return to the entertainment industry after her relationship failed, but she never recovered. Started to fall, step by step towards death. What happened in the middle? This has to start from her life.
She lived a miserable life as a child
She was born in Jinan. At that time, New China had not yet been established and the situation was relatively turbulent.
People are still living in dire straits, and she is no exception. There are many brothers and sisters in the family, and her parents are often away from home in order to earn work points to support the family, leaving the children to take care of each other.
When she was only two years old, her mother passed away due to long-term fatigue. She has always felt insecure due to the lack of maternal love since she was a child. The psychology is also much more fragile than ordinary people.
It is said that when God closes a door for you, he will quietly open a window for you. This sentence is true. When she was in junior high school, she and her classmates heard that the Military Region Repertory Theater was recruiting actors. If they applied for the job, they would basically have nothing to worry about for the rest of their lives.
Her classmates wanted to try it, but she was not interested. So she accompanied her to study. What was very funny was that her classmate was rejected in the first round of interviews.
When she and her classmates were about to go back, she was stopped by the staff inside. saw that she looked good and suggested that she try . She thought that it would be idle anyway, so she went. Unexpectedly, she successfully stood out among the many interviewers. was retained and officially entered the drama troupe.
entered the public eye with the role of "Sister Tian"
then After two years of training in the drama troupe, she received her first movie role in her life, playing the simple Sister Tian, a simple rural villager, in the film "Landmine War" Women, because they grew up in rural areas, can be said to be acting in their true colors.
put on a pair of coarse clothes, and after post-processing, people couldn't believe that such a sophisticated role as "Sister Tian" was played by a young girl who had just grown up. She also began to be remembered by the public. Due to her outstanding performance, she was transferred to the Bayi Film Studio by the director of Mine Warfare, and her career took a big step forward.
became famous after starring in "Youth Like Fire".
In the year before the end of the Cultural Revolution, she made another movie "Youth Like Fire". She plays a worker-peasant female soldier in it. The movie resonated with people as soon as it was released, reminding people of their painful experiences during the Anti-Japanese War. She also established her position in the film industry because of this movie.
The entertainment industry is changing very quickly. Due to her age, she does not have an advantage in appearance and her popularity is not as good as before. She can only take on some small roles to support herself.
Since she had reached the age to get married, her brothers and sisters took the initiative to arrange a wedding for her with a young man of the right age and held a wedding for the two of them. However, the two of them had no common language and conflicts occurred frequently after marriage. Even though she soon became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, the two still ended up divorcing.
Met a rich man in Hong Kong and died for love
After the divorce, she was depressed for a long time. Just when she was desperate, she met a very wealthy Hong Kong businessman. That man knew how to please her and often gave her gifts. Soon she fell, but the wealthy businessman will soon return to Hong Kong.
She decided to leave the entertainment industry and go to Hong Kong with him to "live a good life" . Although her fans were reluctant to leave her, she still left without looking back. After
arrived in Hong Kong excitedly, she found that the rich man's attitude had turned 180 degrees and suddenly became very cold. Although the two got married, her life was not as good as she imagined. The marriage only lasted a few years before ending in divorce again.
This time she was completely devastated. Two failed marriages made her completely decadent both in will and soul. She began to smoke to relieve her worries. When I'm sad, I'll get drunk.
After living in Hong Kong for sixteen years, she contracted lung cancer due to long-term smoking, so she decided to return to Beijing for treatment. But by that time, the cancer cells had spread, and even after a lung resection, she eventually died.
It is very regrettable that a generation of superstar has fallen. Looking back on her short life, it is very regrettable. could have lived a good life through her own efforts, but she had to rely on men, and ended up being abandoned.
