Do you still remember that famous sad drama "Stars Know My Heart" ? I believe many post-80s will have an impression. "Stars Know My Heart" is the first Taiwanese bitter drama to be broadcast in the mainland, and it also sets up a bridge of emotional communication for people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The strong cancer mother in the play knew that she was about to go to the end of her time, so she endured the pain of giving away the five children Xiuxiu , Dongdong, Pepe, Qiqi, and Binbin one by one. I don’t know how many tears the scenes of separation and hardship have earned us mainland audiences. This drama is popular in the mainland of the motherland, not only leaving people with a model of mother Gu Qiuxia, but also made the Taiwanese actress Wu Jingxian , who played Gu Qiuxia, become a household name overnight.
Wu Jingxian first entered the entertainment industry and was not an actor, but a singer. In 1966, she entered the music industry with her interest and talent in singing. At the age of 17, she won the championship of the Provincial Mandarin Pop Songs and Song League held by Zhengsheng Radio. In 1969, she was awarded one of the "Top Ten Singers in Taiwan" sponsored by the China Times, and later was selected as the "Top Ten Singers" in Hong Kong. In 1986 and 1987, she was nominated for the "Best Female Singer Award" at the Golden Bell Awards twice. After signing with Taiwan TV company , she won the Golden Bell Award for "Best Actress" the following year for starring in "Stars Know My Heart". In addition, Wu Jingxian was also hired to serve as the host of the live broadcast program of Zhengsheng Broadcasting Company from 12:00 to 15:00 every day for 7 years, and was voted by the audience as the best host.
Before starring in "Stars Know My Heart", Wu Jingxian was a full-time singer and had no acting experience. Singing is Wu Jingxian's lifelong hobby, and "Stars Know My Heart" is her first drama work. One day before Wu Jingxian starred in "Stars Know My Heart", Wu Jingxian sang in the Han Palace nightclub in Hong Kong. The Lin Fudi , who was then director of the Shaw Brothers in Hong Kong, was watched offline. Afterwards, Lin Fudi was preparing to direct "Stars Know My Heart", and considered choosing one of the senior actors such as Gui Yalei and Chen Shali to play Gu Qiuxia, but they either had their schedules expired or did not meet Lin Fudi's style requirements. Lin Fudi told the Taiwan TV Program Department that he had met a Taiwanese singer in Hong Kong. "When she sang, she had a melancholy eyes and a sad expression on her face." He wanted to choose her to star in "Stars Know My Heart", but he was not sure about her name. Lin Fudi asked the Taiwan Video Program Department to bring out the Taiwan Video Star Column. The Taiwan Video Program Department gave Lin Fudi the names of the stars on the Taiwan Video Star Column one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one, and Lin Fudi finally confirmed that she was Wu Jingxian.
Wu Jingxian initially said that she would star in "Stars Know My Heart", and after the audition, the senior executives of Taiwan Television also opposed her starring in "Stars Know My Heart". Lin Fudi stood up to the public and insisted on letting Wu Jingxian star in "The Stars Know My Heart". Wu Jingxian gradually got better after half a month of following the show. Wu Jingxian said that later Lin Fudi told her that the reason he insisted on letting her star in "Stars Know My Heart" was because he felt that she had a sad and sad expression and virtuous temperament of a woman, which was very close to the characters in the play, so although she had not acted in the show at that time, he was still very confident in her. As it turns out, Lin Fudi has unique eyes, and Wu Jingxian won the Golden Bell Award for "Best Actress" for this drama.
The five children in the play have grown up and started a family and a career, while Wu Jingxian, who plays the mother, is not married or has children. Wu Jingxian moved to Taiwan when she was two years old. Her grandfather Wu Peizhi was from Liujiafan, Hubin Township, Feidong . She entered Beiyang Navy with the first place in Weihai Naval Academy and was an important member of Li Hongzhang . In 1901, he served as the director of education at Baoding Army University, presided over military teaching, and created a large number of military talents for our country. He also served as the acting chief of the navy during the Republic of China.
Wu Jingxian is very clean and has no scandals. She is already in a semi-retired state in the entertainment industry. However, some time ago, she appeared in a comeback for Chen Xiaodong and because she likes Chen Xiaodong very much and said that Chen Xiaodong is her idol.
In fact, she is an idol of many young people.
