Ruan Lingyu's photo
Speaking of Shanghai during the Republic of China period, Ruan Lingyu's name must be mentioned. As one of the best actors in the Chinese silent film era, Ruan Lingyu's life can be said to be vigorous, but it is also regrettable. was originally a peerless beauty, but the sky was jealous of her beauty.
Who would have thought that Ruan Lingyu would quietly leave the world at the age of 25, at the age of 25, such as taking 30 sleeping pills.
On the day Ruan Lingyu was buried, 300,000 fans spontaneously saw her off. It can be seen how dazzling she was at that time.
And during Ruan Lingyu's short 25 years, she has experienced all kinds of flavors in her life.
In April 1910, an ordinary family in Shanghai was happy to have the only daughter and named it Ruan Fenggen.
The parents failed to give her a good life, but they were afraid of melting when they held it in their mouths, and they were afraid of falling when they held it in their hands. Despite the difficulties of family affairs, she still tried her best to give her the best life.
Therefore, Ruan Lingyu spent 5 years of carefree childhood.
Life should have been peaceful, but when she was 6 years old, the God of Destiny took away her only happiness.
My father was seriously ill and passed away. is left alone with orphans and widows, like duckweed, and has no future .
The small family, which was already difficult to maintain, was like a dead tree that was crippled with empty trunks, shaking.
The mother didn't even have time to feel sad, so she hurriedly put away her emotions and found a job as a servant. After her husband left, she became the pillar of this family. No matter how difficult it was, she had to support the young girl.

This seems to be the innate nature of many Chinese mothers. No matter how harsh the conditions were, they could always adapt quickly and lead their families to survive.
The resolute mother led the little Lingyu and walked into the gate of the Zhang family together, starting a life of living under someone's roof and looking at people's faces.
All these sudden changes also invisibly affected the young Ruan Lingyu.
She became silent and depressed, and was sensitive to inferiority.
It would be great if my father was still there. No matter how hard or tired he was, it would be better than now. I lower my eyebrows and be careful everywhere.
Time passes by little by little, and Ruan Lingyu is also growing day by day.
She saw that all the children of the same age around her had entered the school, so she also had the idea of studying in her heart. When my mother learned Lingyu’s thoughts, she felt relieved and even more sad. It is still difficult to make a living, let alone spending money to study?
But she couldn't bear to exterminate her daughter's hope of learning.
After careful consideration, she decided to beg her boss because he was the principal of Shanghai Chongde Girls' School.
Finally, at the request of his mother, the Zhang family agreed to let Ruan Lingyu enter school.
Ruan Lingyu is also very successful. Not only did she have excellent grades in cultural subjects, she also learned dance. And with her beautiful face and outstanding temperament, she suddenly became a well-deserved goddess.

Such a beautiful one is like a crystal clear cherry, and no one can help but want to taste .
Among them are Zhang Damin .
He is the fourth son of the Zhang family. Unlike his brothers' excellence, Zhang Damin has been a famous playboy since childhood. Not only is he not enterprising, he also learns everything from eating, drinking, betting, and is a thorough playboy.
Logically speaking, Ruan Lingyu should be disdainful of such a person.
can often love makes people blind .
Ruan Lingyu, who was 15 years old at that time, was at the age when she was just beginning to fall in love and was full of yearning for love. However, Zhang Damin is a master in the romantic field. It is easy for him to conquer a simple girl.
Zhang Damin pursues Ruan Lingyu passionately.

At first, Ruan Lingyu ignored it and even refused to accept the gift he gave. But Zhang Damin became more and more courageous as he set his sights on trying to please her. Finally, Ruan Lingyu's heart gradually changed, and she became moved by Zhang Damin.
In the eyes of a 15-year-old girl, it is such a wonderful thing to be able to fall in love with such a gentle and considerate man.

However, fate always seems to be in trouble with her.
Just as Ruan Lingyu and Zhang Damin became deeper and deeper, their relationship was known by Zhang's mother. Naturally, she would not allow her son to be with the servant's daughter. In anger, she drove Ruan Lingyu and her daughter out of the Zhang family, and Ruan Lingyu also lost the opportunity to study.
The life of the mother and daughter fell into the abyss again.
As long as the master moves his finger, their world will collapse.
The mother didn't know how to comfort her. She only knew that she was a servant and her daughter fell in love with the young master of her boss. This was impossible. concept, which has existed since ancient times.
How desperate Ruan Lingyu should be at this time. She longs to be loved, but she can't even control her love. At this moment, she is like an arrested criminal, waiting for the judge to acquit or death sentence .
and Zhang Damin is the judge. Fortunately, he did not give up his relationship with Ruan Lingyu, and even had a chance to have a quarrel with his family in order to be with her.
At that moment, he must have shined in Ruan Lingyu's heart. The hero who stepped on the auspicious clouds stretched out his hands to his lover.
Ruan Lingyu threw herself into his arms without hesitation, loving her wholeheartedly.

It's a pity that the good times will not last long.
Shortly after the two lived together, The freshness of love faded and the essence of life was revealed.
Zhang Damin's disguise was completely exposed, showing the nature of a playboy, and he was still lingering in love with his family, but he naturally had no source of income and soon became a down-and-out young man.
Life has become a mess.
Ruan Lingyu was angry at his inadversity. She hoped that Zhang Damin could make some changes, but what she received was a rough beating.
The sweeter love was at the beginning, the ugly reality today is.
Since Zhang Damin is unreliable, Ruan Lingyu had to bow to life.
Fortunately, Zhang Damin's elder brother Zhang Huichong Seeing that the two of them had a difficult life, out of sympathy, he pointed out a way for Ruan Lingyu: go to a film company to be an actor.
Ruan Lingyu went with a try-out mentality. Who would have thought that with her outstanding appearance, temperament and talent for acting, she passed the interview in one fell swoop and successfully won the heroine of "The Famous Couple".
fate caused her to suffer all the ups and downs, but she rewarded the actor with this bowl of rice, and Ruan Lingyu's acting career began.

Everyone says that life is like a play, and the love between Ruan Lingyu and Zhang Damin is just like the movie "The Famous Couple". She couldn't tell whether she was acting or acting herself. Because of this, she made the heroine deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The name Ruan Lingyu became a household name in an instant.
, but Zhang Damin is the opposite. When his father passed away, according to family rules, unmarried children could only share half of their property. His union with Ruan Lingyu was not recognized by the family, so naturally he could not count it.
In order to get more property, he actually came up with the idea of marrying Ruan Lingyu in his father's mourning hall, and used this to threaten his mother to admit the marriage. He expected that his mother would definitely compromise.
can be such a rebellious approach, Ruan Lingyu cannot accept it. Zhang Damin then adopted a roundabout strategy and asked Ruan’s mother to persuade Ruan Lingyu. In the end, Ruan Lingyu looked at her mother’s weathered face and finally chose to compromise with reality.
Zhang's mother admitted that the two were married as expected, and Zhang Damin received a 100,000 yuan inheritance as she wished. This money was also a huge sum of money at that time, but for Zhang Damin, who was so generous, it was just a drop in the ocean. The money was quickly squandered and he owed huge gambling debts.
However, at this time, Ruan Lingyu had already become famous in the film industry, and she has starred in movies such as "Luoyang Bridge", " Baiyun Tower ", " Wild Grass and Idle Flowers ", " Peach Blossoms and Bloody Notes ", and " Goddess ".
The three words Ruan Lingyu have become the representative of movie stars, and no one can take away their brilliance.
I don’t know whether it is a coincidence or an accident, but in the movie "The Goddess", 24-year-old Ruan Lingyu plays a mother who is forced to a desperate situation by life. In order to support her son alone, she is forced to sell herself and becomes a secret prostitute on the streets of Shanghai.

I thought life was extremely cruel, but reality told her that it could be worse.
A hooligan followed quietly, not only invading her residence, but also occupying her body, and forcing her to hand over the money she got from selling herself and then take it to gamble.
In reality, Ruan Lingyu's life is dramatically approaching "The Goddess".
Because at this time, Zhang Damin had already regarded Ruan Lingyu as a money tree, and as long as he had all his money, he would come to her to reach out. Ruan Lingyu always had a headache, but she still compromised.
The frustration of love has already made her exhausted, but the disaster never comes alone.
In 1932, the war in Shanghai was raging, and people chose to escape one after another. Ruan Lingyu also took her mother to Hong Kong for refuge.
In the turbulent times, she met the second man in her life Tang Jishan . He is a famous tea merchant with a wealthy family and a romantic and affectionate personality, making countless innocent girls secretly agree.

But he is such a perfect man, but he falls in love with Ruan Lingyu at first sight and is as gentle as ever. Who can escape unscrupulously by pampering like this?
Ruan Lingyu quickly fell.
She clearly knew that Tang Jishan not only had a family, but before her, she was with an actress named Zhang Zhiyun .
Zhang Zhiyun's image and reputation are not inferior to Ruan Lingyu, and the two even have similar temperaments.

But it was just such a girl who was abandoned by Tang Jishan, turned around and forgot it, and then pursued Ruan Lingyu in a calm and gentle manner.
Tang Jishan does not hide all this.
can be seen He was sure from the beginning that Ruan Lingyu would surrender.
Maybe they are both women. Seeing that Ruan Lingyu was getting deeper and deeper, Zhang Zhiyun couldn't bear it, so he wrote a letter to remind her, and she said: "My today may be your tomorrow."
How could Ruan Lingyu, who was trapped in sweet words, listen to her words?
In Ruan Lingyu's view, this is just the catharsis and reluctance of a emotional loser.

From ancient times to the present, everyone who indulges in love thinks they are the other person's preference. They always take chances and think they can be that exception.
But reality is often very ironic: never think that you have the ability to change a person's nature. is undoubtedly a moth to the fire and destroy itself.
But Ruan Lingyu is too naive, or in other words, she is lucky.
At the same time, she is also eager to get rid of the rogue Zhang Damin. So, she jumped into the fire pit again without hesitation.
Ruan Lingyu's photo
As expected, not long after the two were together, Tang Jishan no longer had the initial freshness of Ruan Lingyu, and all that was left was endless boredom and violence.
Ruan Lingyu's heart was broken again, and she had no time to care about anything else.
Zhang Damin added fuel to the fire and came to ask for money. Ruan Lingyu finally broke out and no longer endured his blackmail.
Zhang Damin, who did not get the money, was anxious to jump over the wall. He knew one truth well: barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes.
So Zhang Damin promoted the slander of Ruan Lingyu, saying that she stole Zhang's property, and made public the story of Ruan Lingyu living with her at the age of 15, and focused on revealing the details, making Ruan Lingyu a romantic and shameless image.
As expected, as soon as this news came out, it quickly attracted widespread attention from all walks of life. You should know that Ruan Lingyu was a well-deserved "top star" at that time.
Zhang Damin's revelation was despicable and vicious, and brought a fatal blow to Ruan Lingyu.
What did Tang Jishan, who saw Ruan Lingyu get caught in this storm?
Not only did he not protect Ruan Lingyu, but he was also eager to distance himself from her and prove his innocence.
He ignored Ruan Lingyu's feelings and forced her to issue a statement saying: The two have always been financially independent.
The implication is that even if Ruan Lingyu steals Zhang's property, she has not touched her at all.

Finally, Zhang Damin sued Ruan Lingyu in court. Tang Jishan also completely abandoned Ruan Lingyu and turned her head to embrace her new love Liang Saizhen. Ruan Lingyu was completely ruined.
Her tragedy lies in: She longs to meet a man who loves women, not just understands women. Unfortunately, Zhang Damin regarded her as a tool, and Tang Jishan regarded her as a plaything.
Her two loves have nothing to do with love after all.
Since love is illusory, your career should always be better.
Ruan Lingyu starred in the movie "New Women", which is also her last movie. The life of the protagonist Wei Ming is also revealing her life in the dark.
They are both dazzling literary and artistic workers and are also under pressure from public opinion. In the end of the movie, Wei Ming committed suicide by taking sleeping pills.
In reality, Ruan Lingyu is still longing for redemption. She expected that the man would take her out of the abyss. The person she expects is Cai Chusheng, the director of "New Women".

But as played in the movie, Wei Ming did not regain his life, and Ruan Lingyu could not wait for the light.
Whether it is love or career.
1935, the Chinese film industry was influenced by American audio films and began to cultivate new actors, among which the beautiful voice and smooth Mandarin were the most important.
And sound is Ruan Lingyu's fatal flaw. In the silent film era, she was dazzling with her eyes and her emotions. Now, we have to be drowned in the long river of history with silent films.
How sad she should be in her heart.
March 7, 1935, the last dinner. Ruan Lingyu dressed up carefully, gracefully, holding red wine, and talking to others enthusiastically, as if all the unhappiness had never happened. After the banquet, Ruan Lingyu returned home. What awaited her was still endless quarrels and Tang Jishan's violence.
She is really tired of such a life. But who should I blame?

Maybe she always understands that it is herself who is wrong. Put your hopes on men again and again.
Although she starred in "New Women", she did not live as a new woman.
She said: "How much I want to be a new woman, a new woman who can get rid of her own destiny, but unfortunately I am too weak."
So, she chose to leave.
On March 8, 1935, after Ruan Lingyu wrote her suicide note, she put the sleeping pills in the porridge and took them calmly, at the age of 25.
She once joked: "If I wanted to be a very famous person and I wanted to be a myth, I would die when I was the most beautiful and sharp."
never thought that a prophecy came true, but it was so sad.
After Ruan Lingyu left, everyone in the entire Shanghai shed tears and felt sorry for the life of this strange woman. has 5 fans who are even distraught and leave with her.
On March 15, 1935, a grand funeral ceremony was held in Shanghai. 300,000 fans of personally sent her away. She was a beautiful woman and will always be in full bloom.

Liang Saitian wrote to Ruan Lingyu, there is a sentence that still feels sad when read: "We were unfortunately born in this evil and turbid world, and especially unfortunately born into a weak woman."
Ruan Lingyu used her short life to interpret the misfortune of a weak woman. What she sought for in her life was just the word "love", but it was precisely the word "love" that destroyed her life.
Fortunately, the two men who failed her did not end up in the end.
The third year after Ruan Lingyu's death, Zhang Damin, who was only 30 years old, died of illness on the streets of Hong Kong.
After Ruan Lingyu's death, Tang Jishan continued to linger in love and then moved to Taiwan, was deceived by others, and became a hawker selling tea, and died tragically on the streets of Taiwan.
After all, their ending is just a psychological comfort for the visitors later.
