She is a singer.
40 years ago, she was still in her second year of high school. With her natural good singing voice, she began to enter the music industry and quickly became famous in Taiwan.
She was also an actress.
Qiong Yao's drama " Wanjun " and " Three Flowers ", there is her implicit and gentle face.
An Lee in her early work " Wedding Banquet ", she has her superb performance in full swing.
In December 2001, she was elected as a legislator in Taiwan and officially entered politics.
On August 8, 2008, she led the Taiwan Aboriginal Performing Group to present her unique literary and artistic performance at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games.
This is also the only Taiwanese performance group invited to perform in the Bird's Nest.
From the former heroine with a charming personality on the screen to the Taiwanese political heroine who sued the Japanese Yasukuni Shrine.
Multiple identities to achieve a legendary life, she is Gao Jin Sumei .
01
On September 21, 1965, Gao Jinsumei was born in an indigenous tribe in Heping Township, Taichung County, Taiwan Province, China.
on her, there is also an older brother and an older sister.
The parents named her "Sumei", which means "the beauty is as picturesque as a painting, and the plum blossoms are everywhere."
father Jin Depei is an old soldier, and his ancestral home is Anhui Chaohu .
Mother Gao Xiangmei is an indigenous person of the Taya tribe .
The family of six is not well-off, so Gao Jinsumei learned to take care of herself and often helps her mother with odd jobs to supplement her family income.
The year after graduating from junior high school, Gao Jinsumei originally planned to give up going to high school, hoping to work early to help her family reduce the burden.
As the father of an old soldier, he was unable to read a few more years due to the civil war, which became the biggest regret in his heart.
He knows the importance of knowledge, so even if the family is not well-off, he still encourages his daughter to continue studying.
With the support of his father, Gao Jinsumei successfully entered high school.
When she was a child, she had always dreamed of becoming a lady in charge or nurse, but as she grew older, she gradually became obsessed with radio and dreamed of becoming a radio host.
For this reason, she also studied the school's film and television major.
Gao Jinsumei, who originally wanted to make a fortune in the broadcasting industry, once again deviated from the established direction because of a welcome party.
On the night of the welcome party, Gao Jinsumei won applause with her song "Win the Bid". The principal under the
stage was also impressed by her beautiful singing voice, so he suggested that the music teacher focus on cultivating her.
As a branch of the indigenous people of the alpine tribe, the Tayya tribe also has the genes of being passionate and unrestrained and able to sing and dance.
As a descendant of the Tayya tribe, singing and dancing naturally became part of her life in the tribe since she was a child.
Gao Jinsumei never regarded this kind of habitual singing at that time as a special talent that she was proud of.
The first test of the singing voice at the welcome party not only made all the teachers and students of the school look at her with admiration, but also made Gao Jinsumei discover a new way to make money.
By singing in a Western restaurant, Gao Jinsumei earned some living expenses, reducing the burden on her family.
Because of hard work and irregular work and rest, the body was overwhelmed and eventually got appendicitis.
Fortunately, I went to the hospital in time, otherwise the consequences of peritoneal inflammation would be unimaginable.
Maybe even Gao Jinsumei didn't expect that singing a job she had never thought of before would bring her unexpected gains.
In the second year of high school, Gao Jinsumei, who was singing in a Western restaurant, was discovered by a Taiwanese production unit and invited her to participate in the "Big Wonderful" singing competition hosted by Zhang Xiaoyan .
With her good voice, she has won the championship and won the championship in many episodes of "Big Wonderful" and her ratings have also risen steadily, which has made her famous in Taiwan.
From then on, Gao Jinsumei's fate was completely rewritten.
02
0 The outstanding performance in "The Great Wonderful" has made many people know Gao Jin Sumei, a girl from the Gaoshan tribe who can sing and dance.
Then, she published two solo albums, "Jin Sumei" and "Betrayal of the Style".
, but the album did not cause any splash, and the sales were not very good. It seems that the singer's path is not working.
But the east is not bright, the west is bright.
With her beautiful and charming appearance and sweet and innocent smile, Gao Jinsumei was appreciated by the famous Taiwanese producer Guo Jianhong at the time, and began to enter the entertainment industry and enter the sight of more people.
Director Li Ruifeng is preparing to film "New Love". He accidentally saw Gao Jinsumei's photo from the magazine and felt that she was very consistent with the heroine's temperament, so he extended an olive branch to Gao Jinsumei.
This is Gao Jinsumei's first drama, and the one he partnered with was He Jiajin , who was 6 years older than her, and later became her boyfriend.
Gao Jinsumei would not have thought that she had no acting experience and her first drama starring in became popular in Taiwan.
Because of the success of this drama, Qiong Yao also noticed the gentle and implicit Gao Jinsumei.
So Gao Jinsumei played the affectionate and kind maid Yanhong in "Wanjun".
Immediately afterwards, in Qiong Yao's "Three Flowers", Gao Jinsumei was invited to play one of the heroines and play the youngest of the three sisters.
With the broadcast of "Wanjun" and "Three Flowers", Gao Jinsumei, who looks pure, was labeled as "Qiong Yao Girl".
After several dramas,
In 1990, Gao Jinsumei, who had never taken over a Taiwanese local drama, bravely tried to take over the heroine of Taiwan's eight o'clock "Love".
After the show was broadcast, it hit an astonishing rating of nearly 50% during the same period.
Gao Jinsumei became the number one actress in the TV series at 8 o'clock and ushered in the peak of her acting career.
Soon after, Ang Lee invited Gao Jinsumei to New York to film "The Wedding Banquet".
Ang Lee attaches great importance to the details of the movie. She thinks that Gao Jinsumei's steps are too light and will be somewhat inconsistent with the heroine's setting.
Gao Jin Sumei tied sandbags on her feet to train her steps at Ang Lee’s suggestion.
Ang Lee was not very famous at that time, and he brought in very little investment.
Due to tight funding, actors are not allowed to NG multiple times in order to save film.
These are quite a challenge for Gao Jinsumei, who is new to the big screen.
For this reason, the gentle Ang Lee left the word "Sumei, come on" on Gao Jinsumei's script, and tactfully reminded her to make fewer mistakes.
Four months of shooting experience in New York have benefited Gao Jinsumei a lot.
Gao Jinsumei won the Best Actress Award for the Golden Bear Award in the Berlin Film Festival for the distinctive Shanghai girl in "Wedding Banquet".
Immediately afterwards, Gao Jinsumei won the championship of the San Diego Film Festival's Best Actress with " Meizhen " directed by Liu Jiachang .
Almost overnight, Gao Jinsumei was promoted from the No. 1 TV series in Taiwan at 8 o'clock to Taiwan to the leading international female movie star.
Just as the acting career reached another peak, Gao Jinsumei had an idea that many people could not understand.
She feels that she already has a satisfactory work like "Wedding Banquet", and acting work is not her dream.
But there was no clear goal at that time, I just felt tired and wanted to take a break.
So she and her friends opened a Meilin wedding shop.
She would never have thought that it was this decision that it was her who paid a huge price.
03
On July 25, 1996, Gao Jinsumei, who had been changing career for two years, sat in the third floor office of her wedding shop as usual.
Suddenly, a rapidly ignited fire trapped everyone in the wedding shop, eventually causing a tragedy of 6 deaths and 11 injuries.
Gao Jinsumei, who escaped from the disaster, was sent to the hospital because she choked on her coma due to excessive smoke.
When she woke up, she had to face endless questions from various media.
In addition to facing bad comments from the outside world, the deaths and injuries caused by the fire have caused even more serious psychological damage.
Faced with the families of the victims, Gao Jinsumei did not choose to escape, but faced everything bravely.After she was discharged from the hospital, she came to the condolence scene as soon as possible. In addition to apologizing to the families of the victims, she also promised to be responsible to the end, hoping to get their forgiveness.
Gao Jinsumei's words are done. She took out 20 million NT$ personal savings to compensate the families of the victims.
Because of this, Gao Jinsumei lost all her savings and broke up with her friends.
Also, because of the serious consequences, Gao Jinsumei was held criminally responsible and waited for 4 years before being sentenced to not guilty.
During that most difficult period, she locked herself in the house all day long and her weight dropped to 35 kilograms.
However, such a disaster of physical and mental exhaustion is just the beginning of the test of fate.
1999, Gao Jinsumei, who was finally convinced to come out to film and plan to start over, took over the heroine of "The Mute and the Bride".
, but after only 5 episodes of filming, he was diagnosed with liver cancer .
The extreme depression caused by the fire in the wedding dress shop awakened the cancer cells in the body.
34 years old, she is afraid that she will die of cancer like her mother.
Fortunately, because the discovery was early and the operation was timely, the cancer cells did not spread, so Gao Jinsumei was lucky enough to escape from the gates of hell.
After the operation, she was resting at home. On September 21, her birthday, she encountered the most destructive earthquake in Taiwan's history - the September 21 earthquake.
This earthquake caused a total of 2415 deaths and 11305 injuries.
just escaped from the line of life and death. Before his body recovered, Gao Jinsumei endured the pain and resolutely decided to go to the disaster area in person, hoping to use her personal experience to encourage and confident the victims.
It was also during this trip to the disaster area that Gao Jinsumei discovered that the severely affected indigenous tribes have been suffering unfairly.
As the original famous descendant, she has a sense of responsibility and mission, and she began to think about using her influence to stand up for her compatriots to fight for legitimate rights and interests.
2000, after experiencing two huge hardships in life, Gao Jinsumei chose a more difficult path for the day: to enter politics.
She began to officially become "high" in maternality, representing the tribes and tribes to speak for them.
From then on, Gao Jinsumei began her new journey.
This year, she was voted to be elected as the first female legislator in 50 years in Taiwan’s indigenous people.
She once said in an interview program that being a politician, just like being an actor, requires extremely high sensitivity and heartfelt enthusiasm, and excellent expression skills.
However, from a glamorous actress to an aggressive female politician, the huge change in identity has encountered various malicious speculations and doubts.
Gao Jinsumei smiled at this.
Because at that time, she was already fearless, especially after surviving the two most difficult hurdles in her life, she was already the gentle and soft Gao Jinsumei.
On the current political page, Gao Jinsumei was wearing indigenous clothes and did not have Chinese costumes.
As time goes by, she becomes more and more confident and confident.
means that the clan members speak out, which is her confidence to keep her head straight whenever she goes out. In the new stage of life, she has long been confident.
She will draw the unique face tattoos of the Tayya people to attract more people to pay attention to the indigenous people and their national culture.
She has traveled across mountains and rivers with her clan members and came to the Yasukuni Shrine in Japan to protest 6 times.
In 2008, 101 indigenous cultural teams led by her became the only group in Taiwan to be invited to perform at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games. The track they sang was "We Are All Family".
Now 57-year-old Gao Jinsumei is still active in Taiwan’s politics and shouts for her ethnic group.
Her path to "female hero" continues...
