During the silent film period of China in the last century, many famous movie stars emerged in , such as Hu Die and Ruan Lingyu . The Ruan Lingyu we are going to talk about today once represented the palace level of performing arts in China during the silent film period, and its status in the film industry is second only to "Movie Queen" Hu Die. From Ruan Lingyu's works, people can see the prosperity of the Chinese film industry at that time, but if you look at her life through her past, you will see an extremely tragic scene. What has the beauty of a generation of time experienced? Where is her only adopted daughter now?
Ruan Lingyu , original name Ruan Fenggen, Ruan Yuying, was born in Shanghai on April 26, 1910, and is from Zhongshan, Guangdong. Her father died of illness when Ruan Lingyu was 6 years old. She and her mother have been dependent on each other for many years. Ruan Lingyu studied at Chongde Women's Middle School in Shanghai. In 1926, 16-year-old Ruan Lingyu showed extraordinary acting talent and successfully entered a celebrity film company. Then she began her short and extremely exciting film career and starred in many well-known films. Among them, "Wild Grass and Flowers" in 1930 was successfully broadcast, making her famous all over the country, and her status in the film industry also rose rapidly.
There have been many different opinions about the reason for Ruan Lingyu's suicide, and the most convincing thing is that she has met miserably in her life. Ruan Lingyu's first love boyfriend is called Zhang Damin . This playboy first squandered all the inherited property , and then stole Ruan Lingyu. If Ruan Lingyu resisted, she would be threatened by Zhang Damin - he wanted to tell the world about the two living together. Later, Ruan Lingyu fled to Hong Kong and met Tan Jishan here, the second man who had a great influence on her. The rich tea businessman gave her a lot of care, giving Ruan Lingyu the courage to break away from Zhang Damin. It’s a pity that Tang Jishan did not bring happiness to Ruan Lingyu after all. He showed mercy everywhere and kept rumors of love.
What made it even worse was . Zhang Damin discovered that Tang Jishan and Ruan Lingyu lived together. In order to retaliate and blackmail, he sued Ruan Yuling in court. In the end, Ruan Lingyu promised to give Zhang Damin 100 yuan every month, which lasted for two years. Zhang Damin, who received this compensation, was not satisfied and continued to stubbornly pester Ruan Lingyu, who was once again trapped in the quagmire.
Tang Jishan's fickleness made her feel heartbroken, and Zhang Damin's greed made her exhausted. In the end, Ruan Lingyu, who had long been overwhelmed, chose to give up struggling on March 8, 1935. She swallowed three bottles of sleeping pills in the early morning of the night, and died because Tang Jishan's untimely rescue was ineffective. For a time, movie fans across the country were deeply saddened. It was a pity that the beauty had passed away, leaving only her regret and the sighs of the world.
Ruan Lingyu had only one adopted daughter during her lifetime, named Tang Zhenli. There are not many records about her in the market, only a few words. 1927, she was still a baby and was adopted by Ruan Lingyu, who was only seventeen years old. The two of them have been with each other for nearly eight years. After Ruan Lingyu's death, following Ruan Lingyu's last wish, Tang Jishan was responsible for raising her adopted daughter and growing up. Although Tang Jishan has a lot of debts to Ruan Lingyu, she may have a conscience. Her adopted daughter has been taken care of by her for ten years and has been receiving a good education during this period. Her growth process is still smooth. After Ruan Lingyu's death, her mother was raised by Tang Zhenli until her mother died of illness. After growing up, Tang Zhenli left China with her husband and went to Thailand to settle down. There is no record of the details of her husband and the acquaintance process between the two.
Nowadays, Tang Zhenli, who has long been out of the public eye, has no way to know the recent situation. After all, after leaving China, Tang Zhenli no longer has the title of "Ruan Lingyu's adopted daughter" , but has returned to a normal life. Naturally, there is no way to find out the current situation. If she was still alive at this time, would have reached the age of ninety.
"A beauty has always been like a famous general, and she is not allowed to see a white hair in Daily " , Ruan Lingyu's life is miserable, she has been looking for a shelter but always goes against her wishes, and she has been swaying in the storms of the world for her whole life. I hope she will be an ordinary person in the next life and be safe and happy for a lifetime. I am afraid that she will be the best blessing.Those men who have let her down again and again have no sincerity to her. At present, they only regard Ruan Lingyu as a money tree, which is really outrageous.
