She died at the age of 25, and chose to wither at the most brilliant moment of her life. The last sentence she left to the world was "I am very happy." On the day she passed away, five girls committed suicide and left with her.

She died at the age of 25, and chose to wither at the most brilliant moment of her life. The last sentence she left to the world was "I am very happy."

On the day she passed away, five girls committed suicide and left with her. A week later, Shanghai was deserted, and 300,000 people spontaneously gave her a funeral, which was called "the largest funeral in modern times" by the US media.

This person is Ruan Lingyu , the soul actor in the Chinese silent film era. Some people say that love is a glass of wine. Only after getting drunk can you realize that the wine is strong, but Ruan Lingyu is a greedy child, drinking three cups at a time.

She thought that it was love, but no one told her that love was a cup of red for her.

When she mentions her love life, she will definitely mention three men: playboy Zhang Damin , tea king Tang Jishan , and film director Cai Chusheng. And Ruan Lingyu and they both have unclear emotional entanglements.

1 Meet Zhang Damin and walk towards an unknown tomorrow with beautiful vision

910, Ruan Lingyu was born in old Shanghai, but her background was not as much attention as her death.

When she was 6 years old, her father became ill due to overwork and died of tuberculosis. Her mother took Ruan Lingyu to the Zhang family as a servant, and since then she lived a life of living under someone else's roof.

Ruan Lingyu spent her entire childhood in the backyard of her employer’s home. This also laid the groundwork for the turn of her destiny.

html When he was 115 years old, Ruan Lingyu met the first man in her life - Zhang Damin, the young master of the Zhang family. Zhang Damin had just turned 18 at that time, and he was the age when spring was inspiring. He was fiercely pursuing Ruan Lingyu, who was graceful and graceful.

The girl who lacked love and attention since childhood has never experienced being cared for by others, and has never heard so many sweet words. Ruan Lingyu gradually became moved by Zhang Damin.

He appeared naturally in her young life, easily taking away her original love.

925, Zhang Ruan's relationship was not recognized by the Zhang family. Ruan Lingyu and her mother were kicked out of the Zhang family, and she dropped out of school and lived together unmarriedly. She was only 16 years old that year.

6 years old, maybe not yet mature enough to bear the various attachments of love, the unknown of life, and the impermanence of fate.

But no matter what, love came fearlessly. She stared at the mystery and beauty of the first glass of wine with a slight simple look, and then picked up the glass with a smile and drank it all.

Wine is not intoxicating, everyone is drunk by themselves, and flowers are not charming, everyone is confused by themselves. Their love seems to be fate, but in fact it is a disaster.

A 19-year-old young boy and a 16-year-old girl in her flower season can temporarily support her life by relying on the monthly money given by the Zhang family, but it is not a long-term solution after all.

Zhang Damin, who was used to being a young master, was not enterprising and ate, drank and had fun all day long, and the burden of life naturally fell on Ruan Lingyu.

So, Ruan Lingyu entered the film industry by chance. She participated in an interview with a celebrity film company and was noticed by the director at first sight, playing the leading female lead in "The Famous Couple".

With her artistic insight and hard work, Ruan Lingyu has made her mark in the film industry. At this time, Zhang Damin was increasingly revealing the nature of a playboy in his sluggish life.

She actually drew a eyebrows for two hours for the sake of the movie; he was addicted to the singing and dancing hall for two hours, using her half a month's income. What's worse is that after Zhang Damin's family declined, he began to smoke big smoke and hang out in the dance hall, and became a complete hooligan.

However, Ruan Lingyu is unwilling to restrain Zhang Damin's happiness due to economic reasons.

Because, she always believed that Zhang Damin left home, his parents, and his wealthy life were all for her. She was moved and grateful, so she tried her best to meet all his requirements, but forgot that she was the person who needed love and care the most.

Impbalanced love, an imbalanced life.Over time, Ruan Lingyu felt as if she was wearing invisible shackles. Zhang Damin held her fatal handle in her hand, and she could only live in the life of the prison day after day.

In her first love with Zhang Damin, Ruan Lingyu must have had a beautiful dream. She once elopeed with her lover with the determination to spend her whole life together. However, in the end, what she got was Zhang Damin's debauchery and living in vain.

Ruan Lingyu was tired. She saw everything clearly. Life was no longer as she had longed for. Her heartbeat and promises she had once drifted away. She thought of leaving. This first love, which should be like a poem and a dream, ended in the end.

2 When I met Tang Jishan, the more she lacked love, the more she could not withstand the love of others

If Ruan Lingyu did not love Zhang Damin, he would not be able to hurt her; if Zhang Damin had not hurt her, she would never leave; if she had a better home, she would not choose Tang Jishan - a love expert who likes to play with women.

Tang Jishan is a wealthy tea businessman and a well-known major shareholder of Lianhua Film. He has a wife in the countryside of Guangdong, and has lived with Ruan Lingyu's senior, Zhang Zhiyun.

He has been coveting Ruan Lingyu, a beautiful female star, after hearing about Ruan Lingyu's emotional experience, resolutely got rid of Zhang Zhiyun, seized Ruan's "weakness" and took advantage of others' danger.

Tang Jishan looks mature and steady, and loves Ruan Lingyu even more. Ruan Lingyu is entangled by this gentle net and cannot break free. Under the waves of passion, she is dizzy and loses the ability to distinguish between true and false for a while.

Just like that, fate put the second glass of wine brewed by love in front of Ruan Lingyu.

The first glass of love bitter wine seemed to burn her heart.

She hesitated for a long time, and finally reached out her hand, picked up the second cup, closed her eyes and drank, thinking that this cup would definitely dilute the bitterness and strength of the first cup.

Tang Jishan loves women, loves all the charming and lively women; Tang Jishan knows women, knows when to appear in front of women, and knows when to disappear; Tang Jishan is fickle, facing the beauties wearing cheongsams under the spotlight in Shanghai, he is sometimes enthusiastic and sometimes cold and harsh.

Men who know that women's hearts are women's natural enemies, and Ruan Lingyu, who longs for love, naturally cannot escape his palm.

1 In March 1933, Ruan Lingyu lived with Tang Jishan again. She seemed to have started a new life, but in fact she just jumped from a broken relationship to another unclear relationship.

Ruan Lingyu met him in such a situation. She couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, right or wrong. Perhaps it was just Tang Jishan who took her to temporarily escape from the pain in front of her, but she didn't know that she would go to a greater destruction.

Shortly after living together, Tang Jishan revealed her true form and became moody and irrational. He had a strong desire to control himself and did not allow Ruan Lingyu to attend party and social events, nor did she allow her to meet with friends without permission.

If Ruan Lingyu went out, Tang Jishan would even show her face, and even treat her roughly, scold her if she wanted to, and beat her if she wanted to. Her demeanor and sweet love words were gone.

What’s even more sad is that after living with Ruan Lingyu for less than a year, Tang Jishan fell in love with Liang Saitian.

Ruan Lingyu once cried to her friends: Before, Zhang Damin treated me as a money tree; now, Tang Jishan treats me as an exclusive product, and they don’t understand what true love is... But, does she really understand it herself?

She knew that Tang Jishan had her original wife in her hometown, but she moved to his small foreign house. As she said herself, I am too weak and I can't stand others being kind to me. If someone treats me well, I will love him madly.

True love is the mutual affection between two people, emotionally attractive, and soul-resonance. And Ruan Lingyu's love is just because "just he is nice to me."

She loves others, maybe it is not true love, but she just wants to get the love of others. This wrong idea is also doomed to have a miserable ending.

Many people don’t understand why Ruan Lingyu married a person like Ximen Qing like Tang Jishan. In fact, it is not difficult to understand that because she lacks love, she cannot withstand the love of others.

You must know that a girl who is confident and healthy, dares to love and hate must have a family behind her that supports and cares about her, so that she can believe that she is good enough and does not need to rely on anyone emotionally.

However, Ruan Lingyu has no such family, and has never received such love. The lack of fatherly love, the selfishness of her mother, the betrayal and rebellion of her lover. All her intimate relationships are dark and broken.

She longs for love, but because she is too eager, she looks for one object after another to prove that she is worthy of being loved.

However, this is exactly the fatal weakness of her inability to tell what true love is.

3 Welcome Cai Chusheng, wishful thinking mistake made her leave the world forever

When Ruan Lingyu was in troubled by the reputation dispute between Zhang Damin and Tang Jishan, the third man in her life came to Cai Chusheng, who was persistent in pursuing art and admired Ruan Lingyu very much.

Ruan Lingyu once drank two glasses of love poisonous wine without hesitation. She drank too fast and didn't have time to look back sadly. She picked up the third cup and drank it all in one go.

When starring in "New Women" directed by Cai Chusheng, Ruan Lingyu offended the pornographic tabloid reporter.

Zhang Damin learned about this and even became evil. For the sake of money, he colluded with reporters and spread rumors and slandered Ruan Lingyu and Tang Jishan for adultery. Tang Jishan was also angry because she was slandered by the newspaper, and instead vented her resentment on Ruan Lingyu.

So, Ruan Lingyu ran to find Cai Chusheng, hoping that he could take her out of Shanghai.

But Cai Chusheng never had the courage to accept Ruan Lingyu's love. He could not afford such risks, and could not let go of the reputation of an art director. It can be said that Cai Chusheng's retreat and weakness became the last straw that overwhelmed Ruan Lingyu.

No matter how strong Ruan Lingyu is, she wants to have a beautiful love, marriage and family, but when everything in reality points directly at her, she is fragile and can't stand it anymore. So she chose to escape all the disputes and resolutely leave the world.

1935 On March 8, 2018, Ruan Lingyu ended her life at the age of 25.

at the end:

Looking at Ruan Lingyu's short life, even if she has countless movie fans following her, she cannot fill the lack of love in her heart. She was always looking for the man who loved her. Love gave her pain again and again. Finally, she fell in the grave of love in despair. Whether it is love or hatred, the past has dispersed with the departure of this person.

However, we can see some clues from Ruan Lingyu's experience.

Zhang Damin, Tang Jishan and Cai Chusheng are the promoters of Ruan Lingyu's tragic life, but her fragile, sensitive and loving personality is the fuse for her toward the end of her life. Although her death had a struggle, it was more cowardly and escape.

A generation of movie stars has fallen. Although time and space are far apart, we can also understand some truth from it, that is, a person cannot choose his own birth and cannot escape various encounters, but he can choose a way of cherishing himself and living his own life.
