Twenty years ago, a Korean wave blowing from the east hit the domestic TV drama market, and people, including most teenagers, are constantly chasing the Korean wave. In Korean dramas, there are many stories of tall, rich and handsome men falling in love with Cinderella. After experiencing a series of setbacks, the two live happily together. This kind of story may be far-reachingly influenced by Korean dramas, or it may be derived from the beautiful wishes of people, especially women. At present, more and more "domineering presidents fall in love with me" series are emerging one after another, dazzling, and even serious homogeneity.
Art originates from life and is higher than life. Perhaps, a sparrow may turn into a phoenix, and a Cinderella may become a princess, but in reality, such situations often end in tragedy, such as the protagonist we are talking about today - Ruan Lingyu. If you haven't met the "domineering young master" Zhang Damin, there may be no movie stars in the world that are popular all over the country, and there may not be a miserable woman.
Helped her daughter, who was young and lived under someone's roof. She first met Zhang Damin
1 On April 26, 2010, Ruan Lingyu was born in a family of ordinary workers. Ruan Lingyu is not her real name. She should have had an older sister, but unfortunately died, so she only had Ruan Lingyu, and her parents gave her the name Ruan Fenggen. If life is always like this, parents make money to support the family and daughter grows up happily may also be a happy ending. But because his father died prematurely due to overwork, the pressure of life put his wife and his six-year-old daughter, which also changed Ruan Lingyu's life.
My mother found a lot of jobs and finally found a livelihood that could bring Ruan Lingyu around, that is, to work as a servant in a wealthy family. And this family is also the source of Ruan Lingyu's tragic fate. In 1916, Ruan Lingyu followed her mother to the Zhang family in Shanghai. The Zhang family is the head of Chongde Girls' School. He cares about the relationship between master and servant, and Ruan Lingyu's tuition fee can be reduced by half. If the journey of studying goes smoothly, there may be many beautiful and confident women in the world. However, life is unpredictable. In 1925, the Zhang family suddenly wanted to fire Ruan’s mother. In the past ten years, Mrs. Zhang’s wife is not favored. Why?
Zhang Tai's ruthlessness comes from her youngest son, Zhang Damin, the fourth young master of the Zhang family, who has an affair with Ruan Lingyu, the daughter of the servant. The 18-year-old rich young master saw the fifteen-year-old Ruan Lingyu and could never forget it. Although feelings are a matter between men and women, the feelings between men and women have been different since ancient times. When in love, men talk sweetly and spend all their thoughts; when they don’t love, they turn around and leave without any mercy. At the beginning, Zhang Damin tried his best to get close to Ruan Lingyu and his daughter, and asked her about her well-being and meticulously, gradually winning Ruan Lingyu's love.
In the stormy society at that time, Ruan Lingyu, who was at the bottom, should have seen some life tragedies caused by inappropriate families. When Zhang Damin showed his affection for her, he should have had a clear understanding, but he still fell into Zhang Damin's "love trap". Maybe seeing that his mother who was dependent on her for life was not opposed, Ruan Lingyu, who had just fallen in love, felt that she had grasped the life-saving straw in her desperate life. However, Zhang Damin's love is selfish and immature, which can be seen from his persuasion to Ruan's mother and let the underage Ruan Lingyu live with her. In this way, he pushed Ruan Lingyu step by step towards tragedy.
career is booming, and relationships are deceived again. Tang Jishan, living together,
Zhang Huichong, the eldest son of the Zhang family, is one of the founders of Chinese films. After Ruan Lingyu got along with Zhang Damin, she often went to Zhang Hui to set. Because Ruan Lingyu has a good image, she often plays various roles in movies. In 1926, after being introduced by Zhang Huichong, Ruan Lingyu applied for the Shanghai Star Film Company and soon participated in her debut work "The Famous Couple". After years of many small roles, Ruan Lingyu finally starred in "Wild Grass and Flowers" and "Old Capital Spring Dream". Her years of acting experience made her vivid and successful in creating the characters in the film. Once the two films were released, Ruan Lingyu became a well-deserved film star at that time.
career is booming, but love is going through twists and turns.Because Zhang Damin lost all his inheritance due to his addiction to gambling, he regarded Ruan Lingyu as a money cow and regarded Ruan Lingyu as his long-term meal ticket. If he did not give the money, he threatened to reveal the relationship between the two.
When Ruan Lingyu was exhausted, Tang Jishan appeared. Tang Jishan is not only a famous wealthy businessman in Southeast Asia, but also a major shareholder of Lianhua Film Factory. Tang Jishan originally had a legitimate wife at her family in Guangdong, but she concealed the fact that she was married when she went out. Under his sweet words, Ruan Lingyu jumped to another fire pit. In 1933, Ruan Lingyu took her mother and adopted daughter to start living with Tang Jishan.
The public pressure on the lawsuit gave him a fatal blow, and the beauty died
Zhang Huaimin, who returned to Shanghai from outside, found that Ruan Lingyu had lived with others, threatened to sue Ruan Lingyu in court, and broke the relationship between the two of them living together. Ruan Lingyu, who is already a popular movie star, does not want to be despised as a public figure. So under the notarization of the lawyer, he signed a breakup contract with Zhang Damin. Ruan Lingyu will give Zhang Damin 100 yuan a month for two years. After
everything is calm, and Ruan Lingyu focuses on her film career. At the end of 1934, "The Goddess" and "The New Women" were released one after another, and Ruan Lingyu, as the heroine, gained both fame and fortune. But unexpectedly, on December 27, 1934, a lawyer's letter dragged Ruan Lingyu into a storm.
In the lawyer's letter, Zhang Damin accused her of "stealing property", "eviling clothes", and "private Zhang's seal". The first two are falsely charged, but the last one is true. Once upon a time, Ruan Lingyu saved 200,000 yuan to borrow Zhang Damin's household name for convenience. When she wanted to take it out, the two had broken up. In order to avoid any trouble, she actually carved Zhang Damin's stamp and took the money away. This small stamp further pushed Ruan Lingyu to death.
When Ruan Lingyu was hesitant, Tang Jishan sued Zhang Damin, denounced him for making up his fictional facts and obstructing reputation. Do you think Tang Jishan has feelings and righteousness? Unexpectedly, he asked Ruan Lingyu to publish a newspaper and declare that he and she had no financial relations and were independent. After encountering the ruthlessness and indifference of two men, I believe that Ruan Lingyu had fallen to the bottom at that time, but there was a more fierce storm waiting for her later.
In the end, Tang Jishan lost the case, Zhang Damin became more and more arrogant, suing Ruan Lingyu for "occupying property and forging documents", and at the same time claimed that he was a couple with Ruan Lingyu, accusing her of adultery with Tang Jishan. This time, he filed a criminal lawsuit. According to the law at that time, the defendant did not need to attend the civil lawsuit and appointed a lawyer to act. However, in criminal proceedings, the defendant must appear in court and stand in a wooden barrel high to his chest in the right corner of the trial stand. As a former lover, why did Zhang Damin do so resolutely and put popular movie stars under the judgment of thousands of people?
After the release of the movie "New Women", it caused a huge sensation in society, and criticized reporters who like to make up for nothing, so the public began to denounce such reporters. The people from the Journalists Association pointed the finger at Ruan Lingyu and criticized her private life for being chaotic. In this way, under the instigation of these reporters, Zhang Damin changed the litigation request and category.
1 On February 27, 2019, the court held the first trial of the case, and Ruan Lingyu said she was sick and did not attend. At this time, Ruan Lingyu's life also entered the countdown. As careers are hindered, relationships gradually become in crisis. Tang Jishan has a new love Liang Saizhen, and this new love is Ruan Lingyu's best friend. On March 7, 1935, Ruan Lingyu and Tang Jishan went to the famous dance hall in Shanghai and danced and chatted without any abnormality. When she returned home, at 2 a.m. on March 8, she took three bottles of sleeping pills...
The first generation of movie stars died from then on. From the daughter of a poor servant to a movie star that was popular all over the country, it can be imagined how much effort Ruan Lingyu has put in. She should have a better future, but because of her youth and ignorance, her feelings are wrong, which leads to her life staying forever at the age of 25...
