The identity of the 53-year-old Hong Kong singer Wang Xinping second-generation star is not unfamiliar, but most people only know that she is the daughter of Shaw Brothers Daxing Wang Yu, but they may not know her mother Lin Cui was once a popular artist in Hong Kong. He became popular in Hong Kong earlier than Wang Yu and has a high influence in the Chinese film industry. It's a pity that Lin Cui died early and has long been forgotten by that generation. Over the years, the most mentioned family affairs surrounding Wang Xinping are her father Wang Yu, uncle Zeng Jiang, and her husband. Regarding her mother, Lin Cui is rarely mentioned again. Of course, Wang Xinping has not forgotten her mother. Every year on her mother's death anniversary and birthday, she will mourn her mother in different ways, and 2022 will be no exception. On the anniversary of Lin Cui's death, Wang Xinping posted a photo of his mother when she was young, without leaving too many words to say. He could only say "Thank you mom, I miss you mom".
From the old photos of Lin Cui posted by Wang Xinping, we can see that Lin Cui was very modern and beautiful when she was young. She was wearing a plaid shirt, a beret, and her hair was in the curly style that was popular at that time. She had an elegant temperament, a decent manner, and a confident look between her brows. This was a posture that only female stars of that era, and popular actresses, would have. The point is that if you look at this photo today, it won’t feel old-fashioned or outdated. And because there was no so-called photo editing technology back then, Therefore, it is the original taste that restores Lin Cui's original appearance at that time.
Lin Cui was active in the 1950s and 1960s, and was a popular actress at that time. Lin Cui was born in Shanghai, and later moved to Hong Kong with her family. In the 1950s, she was admitted to Liberty Pictures. In 1954, she became popular with the movie "daughter's heart" and became a mainstay star. Later, because he often played lively and playful student roles, he was also known as the "student lover" and became popular until the late 1960s. After her second divorce, Lin Cui immigrated to the United States. She made a comeback in the late 1980s and moved to Taiwan to live and film. He died of asthma at his home in Taiwan on February 22, 1995 at the age of 59. What I want to say is that if it were not for her early death, Lin Cui might have received a higher honor today and let more people remember her.
Lin Cui and Qin Jian
Lin Cui will still be mentioned today, and it must be related to her daughter Wang Xinping and her second ex-husband Wang Yu. Lin Cui's career development in Hong Kong was smooth sailing, but her love life was quite bumpy. She had experienced two marriages, both of which ended in divorce. Lin Cui's first husband was Ming Dao Qin Jian. The two fell in love over time while filming and got married. To put it another way, it was Qin Jian who made Lin Cui famous and made Lin Cui famous with her work "Daughter". "Heart" was directed by Qin Jian. After getting married, Lin Cui and Qin Jian gave birth to a son Chen Shanhe , who is also an artist now. Unfortunately, the marriage ended in divorce.
It is reported that Qin Jian's temperament changed drastically when his career was not going well. He often drank to relieve his sorrows and owed a large amount of gambling debts, which led to the breakdown of their relationship. After that, Lin Cui separated from Qin Jian and waited for the official divorce three years later. During the separation, Lin Cui fell in love with Wang Yu, who was eight years younger than her. At that time, Wang Yu was already a popular actor and became famous because of the movie "One-Armed Knife ". However, at that time, it was difficult for the public to accept the relationship between Lin Cui and Wang Yu, so the two kept dating in secret. In fact, Lin Cui gave birth to Wang Xinping before she officially divorced Qin Jian. It was not until Qin Jian committed suicide in 1969 that Lin Cui and Wang Yu held a press conference to announce that they were in love and that they were pregnant with their second child. With the news of their second child, the two officially announced their marriage at the end of the same year.
Of course, the marriage between Lin Cui and Wang Yu did not last long. The two gave birth to three daughters and eventually divorced in 1975. The failure of this marriage was largely due to Wang Yu's unruly nature and difficulty in getting married. stable. After the divorce, Lin Cui moved to San Francisco in the United States to engage in the catering business and leasing business. She returned to the film industry in the late 1980s and settled in Taiwan. She passed away at her home in Taiwan in 1995.Before Lin Cui's death, she had been living with her son Chen Shanhe. The mother and son had a close conversation the night before her death. Unexpectedly, Chen Shanhe found out that his mother had passed away the next afternoon. At that time, Lin Cui was still holding the bronchial spray used for asthma. , so it was inferred that had an asthma attack and died.
Lin Cui left so suddenly that Wang Xinping had no chance to see her mother for the last time. At that time, Wang Xinping was already an artist. She had already become popular in Taiwan and Hong Kong with "Don't Ask Me Who I am." She stayed in Hong Kong to develop all year round. When she learned that her mother had passed away suddenly, she was caught off guard. Looking back, the mother-daughter relationship between Wang Xinping and Lin Cui is naturally not as good as the relationship between her and Wang Yu. After Lin Cui and Wang Yu divorced, they went to the United States, and Wang Xinping and her two sisters lived with Wang Yu. Later, Lin Cui settled in Taiwan and lived only with her eldest son Chen Shanhe. Wang Xinping stayed in Hong Kong to develop, and the relationship between mother and daughter The distance is even further, and over the years, Lin Cui has only had the best relationship with her son.
However, after Lin Cui passed away, Wang Xinping and his sisters still performed their last filial duty. They held farewell ceremonies for Lin Cui in Taiwan and Hong Kong respectively. At the farewell ceremony, Wang Xinping burst into tears. After all, she was her dearest friend. Lin Cui was finally buried in Paradise Lawn Cemetery in San Francisco, USA. In the 27 years since Lin Cui passed away, although Wang Xinping had not had the opportunity to visit her mother's grave in the United States, she would still spontaneously mourn her mother on Lin Cui's birthday and death anniversary to express her longing and gratitude to her mother. Feelings.
