On May 9, 2022, the famous Chinese performing artist Qin Yi passed away in Shanghai at the age of 100. As a witness and cultivator of the century-old film history in China, she has walked a full hundred years of light and shadow life with the figure of "people's artist" and "the most beautiful struggler"...
Regarding Qin Yi's death, many filmmakers and friends in the circle have reminisced and remembered this artist who dedicated his life to film and has both virtue and art.
"She left too suddenly. We couldn't see her last. I don't know what else to make up for it..." Qin Yi's friend and old artist, Niu Ben, said sadly that he had an autobiography that had not yet been published. Qin Yi had been caring about his creation and wrote the preface for him three years ago. "I told her that I must record this friendship in the book, but before I could even show her the book, she left..." Thinking of this regret, Niu Ben couldn't help but choke up again.
"Bashu genius" Wei Minglun and Qin Yi have many years of friendship. After learning about Qin Yi's death, he felt very sad. In Wei Minglun's heart, Qin Yi is "the most beautiful person. He is beautiful until his death and lives a long life." Wei Minglun said that after learning the news this morning, he had been preparing to write elegy couplets for Qin Yi, but because there were too many people contacting him to ask about the story between him and Qin Yi, he had not started writing for a long time. Only when you calm down in your heart, you will mourn this people's artist in your own way.
From the art to the present, Qin Yi has participated in more than 40 movies and TV series, creating countless classic images. But perhaps, she left it to the times and Chinese films, the most resolute, bravest and most beautiful image is herself. Life is full of ups and downs, and I am strong and tenacious all my life. I have never been afraid or weak, and I have always been gentle and calm.
Qin Yi's life was bumpy. She took care of her bedridden husband for 21 years and her sick son for 43 years. She had suffered from serious illness four times. She suffered from lipoma and thyroidoma. She removed gallbladder and had been on the operating table 7 times in total, but she still lived as the most beautiful woman in China.
Acting life:
90s are still filming constantly
Qin Yi was born in Shanghai in 1922. In 1939, he participated in his first film "Good Husband". Over the past 80 years since his film industry, Qin Yi has created many classic images that are well-known and loved by the people with her superb acting skills and persistent pursuit of art, and is known as "the most beautiful woman in China."
The movie " Railway Guerrillas " released in 1956 not only made this song famous, but also made Qin Yi, who played the heroine Fanglin Sao.

In the last 10 years of life, Qin Yi still did a lot of things. "If you are alive, you have to film. If you are alive, you don't retreat." This is her usual life belief.
In 2014, 92-year-old Qin Yi raised funds to shoot the movie " Qinghai Lakeside ". Regardless of her age and physical condition, she insisted on climbing the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with the crew members for a month of real-life shooting.
st year, this film produced, written and starring Qin Yi premiered. She was also shortlisted for the Best Screenwriter Award at the 7th Macau Film Festival for the film.

Two marriages:
After betrayal, she still takes care of her bedridden husband for 21 years
Qin Yi, who was smooth sailing in her acting career, has experienced waves of hardships in her love life.
938, Qin Yi came to Chongqing and joined Chinese film studio as an intern actor. At the age of 16, she began her acting career and her first relationship in her life. Her first marriage was very unfortunate. Her husband, Chen Tianguo, was a handsome drama actor on stage, but the audience was a scumbag who was addicted to alcohol and had a tendency to domestic violence. Even the men's marriage was forced to die. 944, Qin Yi gave birth to a daughter, and she was weak after giving birth and couldn't afford to get sick. Because he could not afford the milk powder and support expenses, Chen Tianguo was actually preparing to give the child to others for raising him, which made Qin Yi unable to bear it and decided to divorce. Later, she met her second husband, Jin Yan.
Qin Yi and Jin Yan
Speaking of which, Jin Yan’s experience is also legendary. He was originally a Korean, but came to China because of asylum. As early as when Qin Yi was a girl, Jin Yan became famous in Shanghai with several dramas such as " Wild Weed Flowers ", " Love and Ownership ", " Yi Chip Plum ", etc.
One was a popular male star and the other was one of the "Four Famous Actresses". The combination of the two was so beautiful to the people at that time that they looked like a man and a woman. In 1947, Qin Yi and Jin Yan made a special trip to Hong Kong to get married and held a banquet. The witness was also the common friend of Guo Moruo.
The good times did not last long, and their marriage changed in the seventh year after marriage.
Because they often film outside, Qin Yi and Jin Yan got together and their communication became less and less. Qin Yi was busy with her career, but Jin Yan cheated on her. His betrayal brought a huge blow to Qin Yi. Qin Yi mentioned the divorce, but Jin Yan disagreed, "He said there was no love, family affection, and a son. Besides, the organizational influence must be taken into account."
958, when Jin Yan was filming "The Eagle in the Storm", in order to resist the cold of the plateau, he drank too much alcohol, causing stomach bleeding. Four years later, he underwent another gastrectomy, and the complications caused by the surgery completely destroyed his body. After that, Qin Yi had to film and take care of her husband who was ill in bed. She took care of her husband for 21 years until her husband died in 1983.
Care for the sick child:
"Life for a long time, you can't walk ahead of him"
Qin Yi's son Jin Jie suffered from a mental illness when he was a child and his condition did not recover in his life. Qin Yi couldn't bear to send her son to a mental hospital, and since then she has kept her son with her for almost her whole life.
"Because he is sick, I have to give him double the love!" This is what Qin Yi often says. In order to take care of her son, sometimes she had to take him to the film scene, and even learn to inject him by herself and give him an injection. During the 43 years of taking care of his son, Qin Yi never took care of others. She took care of her son herself, fed him medicine, washed his hair, bathed him, and changed his clothes, full of patience.
Jin Jie cannot control himself when he is sick and will punch and kick his mother. Qin Yi turned her back to her son's fist and said to her son: "Don't slap my mother in the face, mom still has to go to work."
Under Qin Yi's careful care, Jin Jie almost never got sick again in his 20 years of life. Qin Yi also cultivated her son's talent in painting.
000, the Chinese Special Olympics charity ambassador and international movie star Arnold Schwarzenegger bought Qin Yi's son Jin Jie's sketch of "Hengshan Park" through auction for US$25,000. "Qin Yi is the Chinese movie star I admire, and she is also a great mother!" In 2007, 59-year-old Jin Jie died in the hospital due to uremia and pneumonia . Qin Yi gave birth to a black hair and ended her life of relying on her son.
Jin Jie's painting "I Love My Mom"
Jin Jie's last painting during his lifetime was "I Love My Mom", which was his last gift to his mother. In his mind, his mother is always as young and beautiful as in the painting.
Qin Yi once said that her wish when she was young was to "live longer, and you can't walk in front of her son." Later, she really became a long-lived person. When someone asked her secret to longevity, she said, "I have never been idle all year round, and I always have endless things to do. Only with pressure can I have the motivation to live."
Strong anti-cancer:
has been slaughtered 7 times, and every time I survived
1966, at the peak of Qin Yi's career, she was diagnosed with intestinal cancer at the age of 44, and even the doctor asserted that she "don't live long." Since then, Qin Yi has suffered from 4 serious illnesses, has undergone 7 surgeries, has removed the thyroid tumor and the gallbladder. Qin Yi has taken the pain that ordinary people can't imagine step by step, ten years and ten years. Every time she wandered around the edge of life and death, but every time she survived. The main reason that supported her down was her son Jin Jie.
Qin Yi is very self-disciplined in her diet. She believes that diet must pay attention to "three controls", namely, strictly control the amount of oil, salt and food intake every day. Qin Yi usually exercises by walking and walking quickly, and she walks an average of 50 million to 10,000 steps a day. Qin Yi believes that an optimistic and upward mental outlook is very important. If a person wants to live long, he should not give up on himself because of cancer and ignore his image. This will only make the condition look worse.
Qin Yi once insisted on taking a cold shower every day to maintain a healthy body in order to take good care of her son and have a better job. Later, when she was interviewed by " Kefan Listening to ", she revealed that she insisted on taking a cold shower until she was 80 years old.

After his son left, Qin Yi was crying every day. But the hardships of time have long made her a kind person. Qin Yi said, "I have lived happily, happy, and resentful. I have suffered a lot in my work and family throughout my life. People say that I have a good mentality, and people have the desire to live a better life after all. But I never accept my fate. I am like peeling an orange, peeling these knots one by one, layer by layer."
Perhaps it is precisely because of such an open-minded mentality that Qin Yi's face has no traces left by going through ups and downs, and replaced by the calmness given by the years. It is also this that she has made her beautiful across the century.
The beauty is not old, she lives the way many people want.
Years of time never defeated beauty
All the way!
