The Taiwanese film industry seems to lack the impetus for this innovation.
She pointed out that film is not an art, but a tool in Taiwan, and there are many restricted areas, so "under such many restrictions, the material of the film has been exhausted, and there is a shortage of screenwriter talents.

When two stars meet, it is natural for them to cherish each other. On May 6, 1980, 27-year-old Hu Yinmeng left home wearing pajamas without telling her mother, and came to 45-year-old Li Ao's side, and got married under the witness of friends.
A male talent, a female appearance, the combination seems not unexpected. Less than a week after the marriage, because of Li Ao's arrogance, Hu Yinmeng was banned by the authorities. Married life is not as spiritual and poetic as they imagined.
Xiao Mengneng (right) and Li Ao were brothers during the 1960s ——The reason was that at that time, Li Ao unscrupulously embezzled Xiao Mengneng's millions of yuan of property.
This was big news at the time. And this case is not good for the reputation of both parties, especially for Li Ao, who is a self-proclaimed fighter for democracy, but his wife, Hu Yinmeng, sided with the plaintiff (Xiao Mengneng) in the trial.It made his face even more dull. He won the first instance and lost the second instance in that lawsuit.
This incident not only allowed the two sides to see each other's true colors, but also accelerated the breakup of the two.
On August 28, 1980, Hu Yinmeng and Li Ao signed the divorce agreement in front of the media, and Li Ao kept smiling throughout
1980 On March 1, Li Ao first held a press conference, distributed a written statement, and wrote 5 sentimental comments. In the afternoon, holding a bunch of flowers and wearing the thin tie that Hu Yinmeng gave him, accompanied by a lawyer, he came to the World Building, and was about to sign a divorce agreement with Hu Yinmeng.
Hu Yinmeng later recalled: "The moment he shook hands with me, I suddenly felt very clearly that although we had gone through an indescribably ridiculous drama, we still had feelings in our palms." The fighting spirit completely disintegrated in an instant. Hu Yinmeng's tears couldn't stop flowing, she felt extremely helpless for human nature.

Interested friends can read this book. After all, the relationship between the two of them has been "depicted" by various media in a lot of versions.
In 1988, after Hu Yinmeng celebrated her 35th birthday, she announced that she would completely retire from filming, quit the entertainment industry, and specialize in translation and writing of body and mind; at the same time, she changed her name from the cursive prefix to Hu Yin dream.
she said,The reason why he changed his name to Hu Yinmeng was to abandon those flowers and plants. Only by leaving the cursive prefix can she restore the original meaning of her life and officially start her pen and ink life.
When the turmoil gradually subsided, on November 25, 1994, unmarried Hu Yinmeng threw another "blockbuster" and suddenly announced to the media that she had given birth to a daughter, Hu Jiesheng. She was 42 years old that year.
This caused an uproar at the time, and there were many rumors about the child's father. Among them, it was revealed that the child looked exactly like a politician in Taiwan, and the facial features were similar to 90%, which caused people's speculation.

However, Hu Yinmeng has always been tight-lipped about the child's father and never mentioned a word.
After Li Ao and Hu Yinmeng divorced, they kept "consuming" their ex-wife, and they never let go of Hu Yinmeng's "this stalk" until the end of their lives.
And Hu Yinmeng said in her autobiography: Without Li Ao, there would be no me today!

In her autobiography "Inside the Window", Lin Qingxia never mentioned her previous feelings; Thanks Li Ao, no matter what kind of response, it is the best respect for the past himself!
