"A woman has no meaning when she lives past thirty years old."
This is a sentence that she often talked about when she died three years ago.
Ruan Lingyu's death was a major event that caused a sensation across the country back then. Such a beautiful life disappeared from people's sight so prematurely. In 1935, she was only 25 years old. At this age, for people today, or just a just entering society, full of enthusiasm and hope, and for her, life is full of pessimism and boredom. In addition to unhappy marriage, her gradually enriched life experience, coupled with her innate spirituality and comprehension, made her realize much deeper the original lack of life than ordinary people.
She is another devout Buddhist, with the five hundred arhats in Xiyuan Temple in Suzhou. She patiently and meticulously offered incense to each arhat. She often asks friends: "Am I a good person?" The reason for this question is probably that she is too beautiful, but under the pressure of marriage and patriarchal society, this beauty has to face uninterrupted slander and humiliation.
Even so, she always maintained a sincere emotion and enterprising attitude towards the acting career she loved. These twenty-one photo photos were a set of life photos taken by Liangyou Book Company in 1934. She left the best side to the world, but after the next year, she left this world with disappointment and regret.
As time goes by, she gradually becomes a legendary figure. To this day, the public relishes the beauty of her face and the impermanence of fate, and what makes her unfortunate? People today rarely empathize with those lethal rumors, slander and rumors that are made of out of nothing. Lu Xun once said: "Their death is like adding a few grains of salt to the endless sea of people. Although it makes the nonsense mouths feel a little smell, it will soon be light, light, light."
