On March 27 this year, Disney's live-action version of " Mulan " will be released in North America, and martial arts queen Zheng Peipei plays a matchmaker in it. I am looking forward to her performance.
Zheng Peipei
Last Christmas, Zheng Peipei posted two photos on social networking websites and said that she had a happy life with the children, and she was still so kind and kind in the photos.

Zheng Peipei, who is already 74 years old, is still filming, which is really admirable. Looking back on her past, Zheng Peipei once said modestly that she was lucky, but in fact her efforts were definitely worthy of the honors she received.
01 Life before debut
Zheng Peipei was born in Shanghai in 1946 and became famous in the Hong Kong film industry.
For Zheng Peipei, the most impressive experience in childhood was taking care of his younger brother and sister.
When she was young, Zheng Peipei
Because her father was arrested, Zheng Peipei's mother had to take care of her children and work, so she, the eldest sister, took on the responsibility of taking care of her younger brother and sister. She often carried one on her back, held one in her hand, and held one in her hand.
Later, Zheng Peipei's mother went to Hong Kong to defect to her uncle. So, Cheng Peipei also moved to Hong Kong when he was fifteen or sixteen years old.
When Zheng Peipei first went to Hong Kong, he didn't like Hong Kong people and felt that they were corrupt because Hong Kong people love to play mahjong.
When he was young, Zheng Peipei
Because his uncle opened a garment factory, his uncle felt that Zheng Peipei could inherit his factory, but Zheng Peipei himself had no interest in garment making.
After Zheng Peipei moved to Hong Kong, for her, the most difficult thing in studying was the language problem. She could understand Cantonese, but couldn't say it well.
So she especially hoped to go to a place that also speaks Mandarin , so she was admitted to the Southern Theatre Troupe because there were Cantonese classes and Mandarin classes there.
When he was young, Zheng Peipei
After graduating from the Southern China Theater Troupe, Zheng Peipei entered Shaw Brothers Film Company. At that time, Zheng Peipei's beauty was amazing and had a hint of heroic spirit.
02 is at its peak and retired from the film industry. After divorce, he returned to the film industry. In 1966, the famous director Hu Jinquan chose Zheng Peipei, allowing her to play the heroic female lead in " Drunken Hero ".
1969, she starred in the movie " Poison Dragon Pond ", and for this movie she was selected as the "Martial Arts Queen".

1971, the popular movie star Zheng Peipei chose to withdraw from the entertainment industry and went to the United States to get married.
41-year-old Zheng Peipei returned to Hong Kong after divorce. At that time, her financial conditions were very difficult and she didn’t even have money to take the bus, and she relied on walking.
Fortunately, Zheng Peipei’s sister’s boss Feng Meiji brought her back to the film industry.
Because Stephen Chow's movie was very popular in Hong Kong at that time, Feng Meiji suggested that she give up the female lead in martial arts films and choose the supporting role of Mrs. Hua .

In 1993, she appeared in the audience's vision with Mrs. Hua, who starred in Stephen Chow's movie "Tang Bohu's Fragrance".
Because Zheng Peipei interviewed director Ang Lee when he was working in an interview program in the United States, he had a good relationship with director Ang Lee.
When Ang Lee wanted to make a martial arts film, he left a role for Zheng Peipei, which is the 2000 movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Zheng Peipei won the Best Supporting Actress Award for this drama.

After Zheng Peipei finished filming this drama, her return was not only truly recognized by the public, but also favored by the Oscars.
Since this drama, Zheng Peipei has a special manager to help her take on foreign movies.
Zheng Peipei has created many very classic images, such as the cross-dressing role in the 1965 movie "Bao Lotus Lantern" Liu Yanchang , the movie "The Drunken Man" starring in 1966, and the movie " Jin Yanzi " starring in 1968.
"The Female General of the Yang Family" stills
Zheng Peipei has also filmed some famous TV series, such as "The Loyal Yue Fei", "The Female General of the Yang Family", "Young Bao Qingtian", etc. These classic characters are deeply imprinted in the hearts of the audience.
In 2014, 68-year-old Zheng Peipei participated in the variety show " Flowers and Boys ". Unexpectedly, this variety show brought her a lot of popularity.
"Flowers and Boys"
Although she is the oldest in it, her proficient English speaking and caring personality have been loved by a large number of viewers.
03 was pregnant 8 times and gave birth to 4 children
At the age of 25, Zheng Peipei was at the age of popular, but she chose to quit the entertainment industry and marry far away from the United States.
Zheng Peipei
At that time, she thought marriage was the best destination for women, and in that era, she felt that she was 24 years old, and she was afraid that if she didn't marry, she wouldn't be able to get married.
The first time Zheng Peipei met Yuan Wentong was because her mother lost money when she played mahjong, so she asked her to give it to her. Only Yuan Wentong was at home.
Zheng Peipei and her ex-husband, original text,
, the first sentence said by Zheng Peipei made Zheng Peipei feel that he was very different. He said that she was not very beautiful, so why did she choose to be an actor? She would definitely not become famous in the future.
Zheng Peipei was very fond of her at that time. Only Yuan Wentong would not agree with her, and would sing opposite her. It was this difference that attracted the young Zheng Peipei.
Because Zheng Peipei and her husband Yuanwentong are both very traditional people, her main task is to have children in the 20 years after marriage.
Zheng Peipei and four children
Zheng Peipei is pregnant 8 times and gave birth to 4 children. This is because Zheng Peipei's health cannot protect the child.
And the reason why she gave birth to so many children is because her husband's family has been single-handed for three generations, and her mother-in-law has always wanted a grandson. Finally, Zheng Peipei gave birth to a son at the age of 40.
Zheng Peipei has a very strong personality. When she gave birth to her third daughter, she would hold back and not scream.
Zheng Peipei and four children
Even though she had three daughters, she still firmly wanted to have a son just to fight for a breath. Why can't she give birth to a son?
Unfortunately, 41-year-old Zheng Peipei and Yuan Wentong chose to end the marriage due to their different values.
Chen Peipei learned some truth from this: sometimes the male lead is not necessarily the male lead outside, but the female lead inside. In fact, the two should appreciate and cooperate with each other.
After returning to the film industry, Zheng Peipei lived a very frugal life in private, not buying a house, not buying famous brands, or taking a private car. She came out of her autobiography, and booked an elderly apartment, and even handled a body donation for herself.
Zheng Peipei
Over the years, she sent off her former teachers and good friends one by one, so she tried to do these things in advance so as not to cause trouble for her younger generations.
In fact, it is difficult to judge the marriage life of grandma Zheng Peipei through her current values, because in our opinion, her efforts to that marriage were undoubtedly unwise, but perhaps she was normal in that era.
At least she never regretted her choice, whether it was good or bad, it was an experience, and she also got four such excellent children.
Just like herself, she realized later that women cannot be so strong in a marriage. The view of
is still applicable now. Even if a strong woman is a strong woman, she must learn to show weakness appropriately in marriage so that the relationship between husband and wife can be better.
or not change yourself, but you can find the person who appreciates you before marriage, which is not bad.
But from another perspective, Zheng Peipei's divorce also opened a new window for her. If she had not been divorced, she was likely still a housewife and the audience would not be able to see such classic characters as Mrs. Hua and Blue-eyed Fox.
Therefore, there must be gains and gains and losses. It is important to have a good attitude!
