"You said I can't do it, I insist on showing you!"
"Wolf-sex" girl Lan Yingying made a harsh statement on the stage of "Sisters in Waves".
In fact, as early as 1940, a poor woman in Shanghai made such a vow after suffering great humiliation at the beginning of her life.
"I want to eat this bowl of plays ."
She is Shangguan Yunzhu.
16-year-old woman in the water town has set off huge waves in the sea of silver on the beach with her extremely high performance talent and fascinating charm.
She enjoys praise for her brilliant artistic achievements, and has also been criticized for her "socialization" style of "starting from men".
Her life was not long, but it was tortuous enough.
can be summarized by the lines in the movie she starred in,
"My life is so unfortunate. If it is made into a movie, anyone will cry after watching it."

1920 March 2, 1920, Hundred Flowers Festival.
Jiangyin Jiangsu, an ordinary family in , Changjing Town, , welcomed their fifth child. This girl with pink jade bracelet is called Shangguan Yunzhu in the future.
Her beautiful appearance has long been noticed by Zhang Dayan, the son of a rich senator who is 9 years older than her.
16 years old, she married into the Zhang family with her pregnant belly.
The peaceful and generous rich wife has not enjoyed enough life, and war has broken out. Their family fled to Shanghai and defected to Shangguan Yunzhu's eldest sister and third brother.
Although life is stable, it is tight-lived by Zhang Dayan's money alone. So Shangguan Yunzhu worked as a ticket drawer in the He family photo studio on Xiafei Road.
Photo studio owner He Zuomin has a vicious vision. He can tell at a glance that he is not well-known but has a pretty and lovely Shangguan Yunzhu has great prospects.
He took Shangguan Yunzhu to buy new clothes, took fashionable photos and hung them in the window, attracting countless businesses.
18-year-old Shangguan Yunzhu looked at her extraordinary posture in the photo that was no less than a female star and she had a dream of becoming a star.
But her husband Zhang Dayan was worried, afraid that his beautiful wife would run away with others. He clamored to let his wife return to the family, but Shangguan Yunzhu ignored it.
She used the money she earned to hire a teacher to help her correct her country accent and participated in artist training classes.
soon, because of her outstanding performance, she was attracted by the famous Shanghai film and television tycoon, the "gimmick king" Zhang Shankun .
The other party held a press conference to build momentum for her. For a time, she was touted as a new star with a fairy-like appearance.
Shangguan Yunzhu's stage name was changed at this time.
But not long after, the media suddenly turned against each other and criticized Shangguan Yunzhu for being just like that. She was just a bag of grass with embroidered pillows, and the heroine of the movie was no longer her.
Shangguan Yunzhu, who was only 20 years old, then realized that she was fooled by Zhang Shankun.
The other party chose her just to check and balance one of its popular actresses.
as stubborn as Shangguan Yunzhu, how can you swallow this breath?
She wandered around more actively and met the playwright Yao Ke with her shrewd mind and unique advantages of women.
Seeing that his wife was determined to act, Zhang Dayan was powerless to turn things around and took his son back to his hometown in loneliness Jiangyin .
He was still obsessed with it until his death, and his wedding photos were still placed in the drawer of the bedside table.

Here, the two have just broken up. On the other end of
, Shangguan Yunzhu moved from the alley to a high-end villa in the French Concession, living a luxurious life that is no less than female stars.
Because she wants to marry a celebrity in the art world, Yao Ke, a romantic talent graduated from Yale University.
Yao Ke’s ancestors are noble, and I am Mr. Lu Xun’s beloved disciple.
With the help of Yao Ke’s circle of friends, Shangguan Yunzhu quickly achieved class leap, from an incomparable lower-class actress to a wealthy lady, which was realized overnight.
Her huge wardrobe is full of exquisite cheongsams and handbags, and it is dazzling.She analyzes the character's skills and understanding of the play, and she can travel thousands of miles a day.
Shangguan Yunzhu finally raised her head.
It’s a pity that talented men are always passionate.
Shangguan Yunzhu, who returned from a performance in another place with her daughter, suddenly discovered that her husband and a wealthy family had a secret conversation.
soon, Shangguan Yunzhu used routine calmness and self-control to handle the divorce within 10 minutes.
The second marriage ended here.
After leaving Yao Ke, Shangguan Yunzhu's good luck seemed to have ended.
has no outstanding film and television works. In the slump, she worked hard on the stage and starred in dozens of dramas in one go.
However, Shangguan Yunzhu has a magical power innately.
can always catch the man who can lead her out of trouble at the intersection of fate.
This time, it is a big name in the drama industry Lanma .
The two met Yu a collaboration, and Mu Qiang's Shangguan Yunzhu was fascinated by the other party's acting skills and ran to the backstage to express her love.
With the guidance of the noble Lan Ma, Shangguan Yunzhu's acting skills have improved rapidly and she has also gained a lot of opportunities to star in movies.
1946's "Spring Dream in Paradise", Lan Ma plays the traitor contractor Gong, who recommends Shangguan Yunzhu to play Gong's wife.
Producer disagreed, so Lan Ma patted his chest and promised that Shangguan Yunzhu would definitely teach him to act.
Shangguan Yunzhu lived up to expectations and played the role of socialites and smart philanthropists like the official lady, who are beautiful and smart, and vividly.
Then, Lan Ma pulled Shangguan Yunzhu to star in "The Lights of Ten Thousand Houses".
He deliberately changed the name of the heroine Ding Youlan to Lan Youlan, and the same surname as him, and spared no effort to support him from the details.
With the appearance of the blue horse, Shangguan Yunzhu's acting career suddenly widened. She was able to be a charming sorcerer and a virtuous housewife. She became a thousand-faced actor who won with her acting skills. Most of the films that established her status as an outstanding actress were filmed during her date with Blue Horse.
However, the deep love of the couple on the screen cannot conceal the disagreement of views in life.
Shangguan Yunzhu is exquisite and elegant, pursuing aristocratic life, while Lan Ma is careless and has a hot temper.
Once in the background, the blue horse raised its slap, completely shattering the relationship, and the two parted ways.
However, when a woman has enough confidence, she has more opportunities to choose.
After breaking up, Shangguan Yunzhu's Spanish-style luxury apartment welcomed new customers.

Compared with Lanma's unkempt appearance, Cheng Shuyao, the manager of Lanxin Grand Theater and the son of the famous noble family, obviously conforms to Shangguan Yunzhu's aesthetic.
Moreover, he has enough power to ensure that Shangguan Yunzhu lives a petty bourgeois life.
Lucky, Cheng Shuyao is still a good person and loves Guan Yunzhu and her ex-husband's daughter in particular.
The third marriage, they live a comfortable and comfortable life.
It’s a pity that bad luck has come regardless of the occasion.
Someone revealed that Cheng Shuyao used his position to embezzle the funds from Lanxin Theater.
naive Cheng Shuyao took out $800 and two rings to refund the matter in a calm manner, but he did not expect that this move was confirmed and was suspended by the unit for one year.
Shangguan Yunzhu was so angry that she was dizzy.
She is working hard to get rid of the old Shanghai actress image, actively participate in charity performances, and even if she gets tired of pneumonia, she must draw a line with her old image.
But her husband Cheng Shuyao's identity as a "corrupt criminal" directly made her fail and became a stain that could not be removed.
Thinking about the fact that I have suffered countless grievances to have today. Shangguan Yunzhu really can't afford to lose.
Although the husband begged him and the child was only one year old, Shangguan Yunzhu still planned a divorce agreement and left without looking back.
This experience made Shangguan Yunzhu's youngest son Wei Ran feel sad.
Other children are loved by their parents, but they have nothing. In order to act, the mother doesn’t want her home and her son doesn’t want her.
Now it seems that Shangguan Yunzhu's various actions are quite ruthless.
But in the view of "play fanatic" Shangguan Yunzhu, play is greater than the sky, and as long as you can act, you will be willing to do anything.
It is precisely because of determination that Shangguan Yunzhu's extremely high artistic achievements were achieved.
1955's " South Island Storm ", the director resisted the opposition and asked her to play the role of guerrilla Fu Chunhua.
She knew that this was the only chance to turn things around.
Before this, she was banned due to her lifestyle problems.
She took off her exquisite cheongsam without hesitation, changed into a coarse cloth shirt, scraped off her willow-leaved eyebrows, and drew them into big thick eyebrows. The graceful walking posture of gently shaking and slowly stalking is no longer there, and what follows is the heroic stride of meteors. After the movie was released, every scene was full.
People can't believe that the socialites who were so singular in the past actually became heroic.
Shangguan Yunzhu broke the deadlock again, won the second spring, and was shortlisted for the "22 Best Movie Stars in New China" in 1962.
career reached its peak, but she was diagnosed with breast cancer and brain cancer. She was in a trance and had no memory for a while and could not speak.
Fortunately, there is a man named He Lu next to her.
The other party is an unknown director. He has admired her for a long time. The two have never gotten married and have been living together.
From the perspective of status, they are particularly unmatched, but they have been with each other for the longest time.
Due to the pain and torture, Shangguan Yunzhu was haggard, and a special revolutionary movement was even more severely damaged.
1968 at 3 a.m. on November 23, 1968, Shangguan Yunzhu, who had just received two hours of beating, put on her favorite green thin tweed suit, tied her white silk to the window on the fourth floor, pondered for a moment, and jumped down.
This year, she was just 48 years old.
It’s a coincidence that Shangguan Yunzhu played the role of a scene that was forced to death four times in her drama career.
play is like life, life is like a play.
This little woman who walked out of the water town paid the endurance and price that ordinary people could not reach in order to stand in the ten-mile foreign market with glory.
She was insulted and looked down upon, but she stood up again and again to overcome all obstacles.
Maybe, in the eyes of the world, she is utilitarian and worldly-wise.
But as Shangguan Mingzhu said, "I am not as bad as people criticized in adversity, nor as good as people praise in good times. I am just an ordinary actor."
She didn't care about the outside world's voices, but just walked all the way, desperately heading towards the brilliant art stage.
No matter how painful or hurt you are along the way.
As long as you have a moment of brilliant blooming, your life will be worth it.
