Zhou Xuan
"Night Shanghai, night Shanghai, you are an never sleep city..."
Old Shanghai in the 1940s, whenever the lights are on and the music is ringing, the most beautiful figure on the stage must be Zhou Xuan.
Zhang Ailing said: "In a hundred years, there will be no second Zhou Xuan."
Gao Xiaosong When taking stock of the beauties of the Republic of China, he also said: "Zhou Xuan was the best-looking in that era, and no movie star can grow like that now."
People today know very little about Zhou Xuan, but as long as they read classic old photos, they will be amazed at her style. As China's earliest amphibious star and one of the most influential women in the film and music industry, Zhou Xuan really amazed the time!
It’s a pity that her beauty has a bad life. Zhou Xuan’s life echoed her name: She can do everything in vain!
Zhou Xuan
1951, Zhou Xuan filmed the movie " Peace Dove ". Before this, she had filmed and participated in more than 40 films, and was an "image queen"-level actor with rich experience and poor results.
is such an ordinary shooting scene, but Zhou Xuan suddenly went crazy!
The crew did not realize that something was wrong at first, because the heroine played by Zhou Xuan was an unmarried mother who was tragically abandoned by her lover, and her emotions were not normal. When the director shouted to start the filming, Zhou Xuan went to the hospital to do paternity test according to the plot. Facing the generous doubts from all sides, she shouted at the top of her lungs: "Blood test, blood test, it is your flesh and blood. You all go away, let me bear the loneliness alone!" The staff at
were all impressed by Zhou Xuan's sincere performance. When the director shouted, Zhou Xuan didn't expect to "get out of the show" as usual, and she still cried sadly and was in a state of madness.
Then everyone realized something was wrong and hurriedly sent Zhou Xuan to the hospital. After examination and identification by the doctor: Zhou Xuan suffered from schizophrenia . In layman's terms, she was crazy!
Public opinion was in a blast. Why did the "national goddess" suddenly become a lunatic? In the final analysis, it all fell into the word "love".
When she was half awake and half crazy, Zhou Xuan also thought about why her fate was always so bumpy? It seems that Coptis chinensis soaked in bitter water will never have a day when the bitterness is over.
1920, a new baby girl was born in a family named Su, "The bright moon is bright, like a rough jade", and the family named the baby girl Su Pu.
It is said that Jiangsu Feng Shui nourishes people. There was a beauty in ancient times, Chen Yuanyuan . If Su Pu could grow up safely and smoothly at home, he would definitely be a beautiful man who was famous in Qinhuai and could survive the wind and rain.
However, everything changed when Su Pu was three years old. The Su family had many children and adopted Su Pu to his uncle. My uncle's surname is Zhou. He is a "addict" who is addicted to gambling. He doesn't know much about literature. After adopting the child, he changed her name to "Zhou Xiaohong."
From Su Pu to Zhou Xiaohong, what has changed is not only the name, but also the fate of a girl!
Uncle gambling and smoking quickly lost all his family business. Looking at his young niece, he was not distracted from feeling distressed or guilty. With a wave of her hand, she resold her to a family named Wang, and not long after, she resold her to another family named Zhou.
Just like that, Zhou Xiaohong became Wang Xiaohong, and then turned back to Zhou Xiaohong. In just a few years, Zhou Xiaohong has experienced four pairs of parents and transferred them three times, which left a deep shadow on her childhood.
Since I can remember, Zhou Xiaohong is most afraid of her adoptive father smoking cigarettes, because when her family has no money, she will definitely be resold again. And there will be no "good luck" that was before, and it will most likely be in a place of love and misery.
In order not to be sold, Zhou Xiaohong dropped out of school early and sang music on the street to sell her skills. Fortunately, she is a good singer who sings. With her good voice, she has changed her destiny to live under someone else's roof.
1932, Zhou Xiaohong, who was only twelve years old, met the first "Bo Le" in his life - Zhang Jinwen.
Zhang Jinwen is a pianist. She was attracted by Zhou Xiaohong's singing performance and made an exception to introduce her to Mingyue Song and Dance Troupe.
Zhou Xuan
At that time, the Mingyue Dance Troupe was also called the "Star Maker Factory", and many celebrities who are well-known nationwide went out from here.
Zhou Xiaohong told herself that she must seize this opportunity and whether she can change her destiny will be changed in one fell swoop!
She actively rehearsed and studied Mandarin and music theory knowledge hard. Hard work pays off. In the second year of joining the troupe, she participated in the movie "Wild Rose" and sang the ending song "Light of the Nation".
's superb acting skills and moving singing helped her gain popularity all of a sudden.
Song and Dance Troupe leader Li Jinhui is very fond of her: "I am very optimistic about you. From now on, you will be called Zhou Xuan."
"Confronting the enemy on the battlefield" is the lyrics in "The Light of the Nation", which shows how much Li Jinhui attaches importance to Zhou Xuan.
She did not disappoint her expectations and participated in invitations from many radio stations such as Xinhua Opera Club, Shanghai "Friends League", "Blue Bird", and "Xinxin".
As the exposure increases, Zhou Xuan has become a real "star of tomorrow" and is popular all over Shanghai. On the streets of Shanghai in the 1930s and 1940s, Zhou Xuan's "world" was played, and her songs were played.
Zhou Xuan
After gaining a foothold in the music industry, Zhou Xuan continued to work hard and continued to enter the entertainment industry.
Zhou Xuan is beautiful and sweet. Generally, the movies she participates in will be "with" interludes or ending songs. It can not only be used as an actor, but also as a singer. It can be said that one person uses multiple uses!
Not long after, she made her mark in the film industry. " Road Angel ", " Tianya Singer ", "Luanfeng and Phoenix"... Her elegant figure and beautiful singing voice can be left in each film, which has become an unforgettable classic for countless people.
Zhou Xuan is popular!
She finally has the ability to be economically free, and she takes her foster mother to take care of her, hoping that life will get better and better.
While achieving a small career, Zhou Xuan wanted to get married and had a favorite marriage partner - Yanhua .
After a while ago when she joined Mingyue Opera Club and was still struggling at the bottom, she felt the youthfulness and sweetness of love.
Yan Hua treats Zhou Xuan as a teacher and friend. Her piano, music score, and Mandarin are taught step by step by step by step. Others dislike her that she doesn’t understand anything. Only Yan Hua is patient and gives her all her tenderness.
Zhou Xuan
Zhou Xuan’s love first began and hid Yan Hua in her heart. Whenever the night was late, she would write all her thoughts into her diary.
This hazy first love has been maintained for many years. After Zhou Xuan has stabilized her foothold in her career, she finally mustered up the courage to confess.
She gave Yan Hua her treasured diary: "Don't read it first, wait until I leave." After that, she left shyly.
Yan Hua looked over page by page, and the thick diary carries the girl's endless affection! Yan Hua was moved and gave back the same emotions.
Once the golden wind and jade dew meet, it will be better than countless people in the world.
1938, Zhou Xuan and Yan Hua got married. Today, the "top female lead" whose career is in the rising period has suddenly been officially announced, and the influence can be imagined.
Zhou Xuan
However, this period of combination of talented men and beautiful women only bloomed but failed to bear fruit. It ended in a sad way in just three years!
Zhou Xuan and Yan Hua are typical strong women and weak men. In addition, the woman is a public figure, and there are constant public opinion and many potential conflicts in marriage.
Later, the singing and dancing troupe where they were staying went bankrupt, and the couple had to go their separate ways to find another way out. In the eyes of the media, it means that the couple is incompatible and they are about to get divorced!
Under various negative news, Zhou Xuan and Yan Hua's relationship was greatly affected.
"I thought that when a happy family could not be obtained, a sweet life became a dream, suspicion, slander, and slander came from all directions, and I could no longer bear it."
Zhou Xuan's diary no longer had the joy of love, only troubles and pain, which meant that this marriage had come to an end.
Zhou Xuan and Yan Hua broke up peacefully. When they signed the divorce agreement , one was in Pudong Building and the other was in the apartment. The two had never met, leaving only helplessness and regrets.
It can be said that there is no right or wrong in this marriage, a harmonious beginning and a decent ending. What really hurt Zhou Xuan was the two men she met later.
Zhou Xuan
1946, Zhou Xuan's career ushered in the "second spring". She was invited to Hong Kong Greater China Film and Television to shoot films. Her career territory expanded from the mainland to Hong Kong.
Zhou Xuan is alone and encounters a divorce again. Her personality becomes more sensitive and fragile, and she needs emotional care. Zhu Huaide took the opportunity to enter and "killed" Zhou Xuan's heart.
Zhu Huaide is a shrewd silk merchant. He took a fancy to Zhou Xuan's beauty and fame, pursued her relentlessly and showed great attentiveness. He stayed in the crew for twenty-four hours all day, taking the lead in Zhou Xuan.
According to the tabloid reporter at the time, "Even if Zhou Xuan goes up and down the stairs, Zhu Huaide has to help him."
Although Zhou Xuan has experienced a marriage, she is not the opponent of a veteran in love like Zhu Huaide, and she soon entrusts her sincerity.
When Zhou Xuan was pregnant and asked Zhu Huaide for her status, she was ruthlessly rejected: "I can't marry you because I have a family."
Zhou Xuan was hit by lightning. She never thought that she would become the "third party" to destroy other people's marriage, and she didn't expect that Zhu Huaide would be so heartless towards her.
He refused to take responsibility, and even refused to admit the child in Zhou Xuan's belly: "Who said it must be mine?"
Zhou Xuan was completely disappointed. In order to defend the last trace of decency, she published a statement in the newspaper to terminate her relationship with Zhu Huaide.
Many people advised her not to leave the child in her belly. Not only did she have no name or share, the child would not even have a father when she was born.
Zhou Xuan is reluctant to let go. She has a wandering life experience and has few relatives. She is unwilling to abandon her blood-connected children. She decided to give birth to a child, and even if she was alone, she could take good care of the child!
Even so, this incident still caused great spiritual trauma to Zhou Xuan. It was not until the filming of "Dove of Peace" that it completely exploded. The heroine of the
film was also abandoned and suspected of being a child. The same experience suddenly evoked her most embarrassing memories.
Reality and the characters in the play overlap, Zhou Xuan was too immersed in the play, which induced mental illness. The adoptive mother locked her up at home and wanted her to calm down for a while.
But not long after, Zhou Xuan fell ill again! The house was smashed in a mess. She not only wanted to set fire to the house, but also threw her young son down from the upper floor.
Fortunately, the cadres of their apartment neighborhood committee arrived in time, which stopped Zhou Xuan's crazy behavior. In order to prevent her condition from worsening further, her adoptive mother had to call Zhou Xuan to a mental hospital.
It was this phone call that ruined Zhou Xuan's life in disguise, resulting in her failure to get redemption from the madness in the second half of her life.
Zhou Xuan
When he was treated in a mental hospital, the misfortune belonging to Zhou Xuan did not end there, and another emotional liar got involved in her life.
Zhou Xuan's mental state was already very bad at that time. Her friend Zhao Dan had visited her, but she didn't believe that the crazy and sloppy patient was a star who was once a glorious and decent star.
"She has her hair loose and her clothes are clumping..."
It is hard to imagine how Zhou Xuan spent that bleak life and was subject to Tang Di's "deception of money and sex".
Tang Di is a complete scumbag. He seduced Zhou Xuan when she was sick and unconscious. When Zhou Xuan was awake, she pretended to be a affectionate persona and painted and took photos of her to deceive Zhou Xuan's trust.
Zhou Xuan was lonely and helpless, treating Tang Di as a "life-saving straw". Despite the opposition of relatives, friends and the public, she insisted on living with him and gave birth to a "illegitimate child" with Tang Di in a mental hospital.
Zhou Xuan
1951, Zhou Xuan was discharged from the hospital.
Tang Di coaxed her to borrow money everywhere to provide her with food, drink and fun. In just a few years, she owed 12 million yuan in debt.
Zhou Xuan's adoptive mother could no longer sit still. She never thought that sending her daughter to a mental hospital for treatment would cause a scum like Tang Di, and she was cheated of "losing her virginity and money."
The adoptive mother saw Tang Di's face clearly and sued him in court with a complaint.
What her adoptive mother did was for Zhou Xuan. Unfortunately, she had already lost her rationality and was immersed in Tang Di's lies, and even wanted to defend him during the trial.
Fortunately, the court accepted the evidence and concluded that Zhou Xuan was a mentally ill and a victim. The testimony provided was unreliable, so she did not let the liar Tang Di go.
After the adoptive mother's argument, Tang Di was eventually sentenced to fraud and seduction, and was imprisoned to serve his sentence.
The bad guy fell into the French Open, and Zhou Xuan's illness worsened! She couldn't accept the truth that she was deceived again, and three "love sorrows" drove her crazy!
"Punishing yourself with other people's mistakes is the stupidest fool in the world."
Zhou Xuan's writings in her diary were in reality, but she could not do this. Not only did she not relieve herself, she also blamed herself for the mistakes of three emotional failures.
From beginning to end, she didn't learn to be kind to herself!
For the five years after Tang Di was imprisoned, Zhou Xuan has been immersed in a crazy world, longing for someone to save her.
Once, the eldest son came to the hospital to visit her. Zhou Xuan cried when she saw him, begging her son to rescue her in the future.
The child is still young, and it is unknown whether he remembers Zhou Xuan’s instructions. But as a mother, she actually fell to seek help from her young children, which shows how broken and helpless she is.
1957, under the treatment of the doctor, Zhou Xuan's condition improved. She was very happy and wanted to return to the stage that once belonged to her. A man would let her down and her career would not.
Zhou Xuan
In order to prove that he is about to come back, Zhou Xuan published a statement in the newspaper: "My illness has been cured, and I will meet you soon!"
Countless fans and fans were looking forward to it, just waiting for Zhou Xuan to reappear his past style. Unexpectedly, fate played a "fatal" joke on Zhou Xuan again.
On the eve of discharge from the hospital, Zhou Xuan was diagnosed with acute brain cancer. According to the medical level at that time, there was no medical treatment for the medicine!
Zhou Xuan was completely defeated and pulled her relatives and friends to cry: "My life is too hard. I don't remember my biological parents. I want love but I meet inhumane. In the end, I still don't even have a home..."
On September 22, 1957, Zhou Xuan passed away with regret and reluctance. The fans still couldn't wait for the day when she returned to the stage.
A generation of songs fell, taking away her joys and sorrows...
Zhou Xuan once said in an interview during her lifetime: "What I long for the most is a stable life."
Destiny is unwilling to protect her. In her short life of thirty-seven years, there are too few stable days. It is such a simple wish that I can't realize it even if I exhaust my whole life!
After learning about Zhou Xuan's tragic situation before her death, he couldn't help but feel regretful: "If I hadn't divorced her at the beginning, wouldn't she have been crazy later, and wouldn't have passed away so early?"
However, there is no if in life, and the ending of Yan Hua and Zhou Xuan would have been destined long ago.
When many older generations recall Zhou Xuan, they say that in the Shanghai Beach, the neon lights on Xiafei Road were endless all night, and Zhou Xuan's songs were played everywhere...
However, every family "Flowers and Moons" and every household " Phoenix Flying ", only those who sing songs will not be able to be perfect in their lives.
