The mood is extremely heavy
I thought it was just fake news. At about 7:30 p.m. on the 11th, the news about Zhou Haimei's death began to spread widely on the Internet.
First, the employee refused to respond in any way.
Then, Zhou Haimei's close friends, Hong Kong director Chen Xunqi and screenwriter Tan Fei all came forward to clarify the rumors, claiming that she was still accepting ** and had not passed away.
At the same time, the earliest Weibo account was also quickly deleted and renamed.
Zhou Haimei was last seen in public at the Ya'an Giant Panda and Nature Film Week in November, when she did quite well.
On December 6, they released the news of celebrating their 57th birthday and celebrated with their fans, and they were quite lively.
Therefore, everyone is glad that this is certainly not true.
Until the studio announced that she had passed away on the 11th.
Tian Qiwen, a close friend of hers, revealed that she had actually been suffering from lupus erythematosus for a long time.
It is an autoimmune disease that mainly affects women of childbearing age between the ages of 15 and 45 and can cause damage to several organs and tissues such as the kidneys, cardiovascular, lungs, digestive system, and eyes. Because it is difficult to completely**, it is popularly known as the "immortal cancer". Selena also suffered from the disease, and it was only after a friend donated a kidney and had a kidney transplant that she was able to regain her life.
This is not the first time Zhou Haimei has been linked to lupus erythematosus.
The earliest ** occurred in 2006, when actress Yang Gongru, who participated in the filming of "Across the Seas" with her, revealed on her blog the fact that Zhou Haimei suffered from lupus erythematosus.
There is an opinion that when Zhou Haimei's contract with TVB expired, ATV extended a friendly olive branch to her.
Since she became a member of ATV, her resources and popularity have been improved, which poses a threat to Yang Gongru's status as the "first sister of ATV", so Yang Gongru deliberately used this to attack her.
Despite this, Zhou Haimei has publicly denied the fact that she has lupus erythematosus on several occasions.
This indicates that you have a relatively low number of platelets, so your blood is not easy to clot. Once a minor collision occurs, it is easy to cause bruising and sometimes even fainting.
During the filming of "Across the Seas", due to Zhou Haimei's poor physical condition, it was decided to suspend filming.
At that time, Hong Kong's ** hyped up her erythema because of her inappropriate private life, which led to the occurrence of STDs.
In the follow-up activities, ** is still keen to focus on her health.
On the night of the 12th, Zhou Haimei's studio released her obituary, and she unfortunately passed away on December 11 due to the failure of medical treatment.
After the obituary was announced, many artists published articles to express their condolences.
Her former lover Lu Liangwei was among them, and he often called her "seafood."
Those who know her affectionately call her Hai Tai because in Cantonese, the pronunciation of "Hai Mei" is the same as "Hai Mei".
In fact, she also has a Manchu name that is rarely mentioned: Martata.
Born in Hong Kong in 1966, Zhou Haimei is a Manchu member of the Guerjia family, whose ancestors were white-flagged Wupin officials who managed provincial affairs in Guangdong during the Qing Dynasty.
Guan Zhilin and Guan Baohui are both descendants of Guerjia among the eight major surnames of the Qing Dynasty.
My grandmother was born in Malaysia, my mother was Cantonese and my father was Manchu. Our family deeply retains the traditions of the Manchurian aristocracy, with rich rules and strict family education.
In 1966, Zhou Haimei was born in this world, she is the second child in the family. Her older sister is two years older than her, while her younger brother has two, one 12 years younger and the other 14 years younger.
Zhou Haimei, who is only 5 years old.
Since her mother was often busy playing mahjong, she learned how to take care of her children and handle household chores from an early age.
When she was 17 years old, her father found out that a boy had sent her home, so he beat her hard and asked her to kneel down and take an oath.
Despite her parents' strict education and discipline, she still did not grow into a real "lady".
She spent her formative years in Shek Lei Estate and Yau Oi Estate, where her favourite activities were running around, climbing trees, and clash with boys
Zhou Haimei is in elementary school.
When I was a child, neighbors often came to complain to Zhou Haimei's mother, which caused their own child to bleed from the nose.
She has a strong interest in small animals, but when she was a child, her dog was unfortunately poisoned to death by her next-door neighbor, so she did not hesitate to come to the door to solve the problem in a forked way.
However, my mother was adamantly opposed to raising me, her reason was that "those who can excrete can't be raised", and she directly retorted "I also go to the bathroom, why should I raise me?" ”
After that, she was arranged to receive education at Tam Siu Hong Memorial School in Lize and graduated from Tam Pok Yu Secondary School of the Shun Tak Friendship Association in Tuen Mun.
At her young age, she gradually transformed from a "tomboy" character to a young girl full of youthful vitality.
*Shown on the left is Zhou Haimei, a student in middle school.
Zhou Haimei's rebellion in her heart is, in her own words, "boyish".
When Jackie Chan mentioned Zhou Haimei, his first impression of her was "brave".
In order to raise funds, Jackie Chan will hold regular Jackie Chan Charity Cup events, and each episode of the event will invite some of the most popular actresses to help.
In this episode of the show in 1993, the role of the goddess is very prominent, including Qiu Shuzhen, Zhong Liti, Zhang Min, Wang Zuxian, Maggie Cheung, etc., and Zhou Haimei is also one of them.
At the beginning of the game, Zhou Haimei stepped on the accelerator without hesitation and galloped.
Jackie Chan half-jokingly said, "I suggest you drive a little slower, but when she drives the car, the crashing sound is like crazy." ”
Huang Rihua, the actor, has a clearer view of her: "Although she looks feminine, she is actually not much different from men. ”
The formation of this character, in fact, is closely related to her experiences in childhood.
When she was young, she lived with her grandfather and grandmother in Hong Kong's Islands district, where the expansive island environment shaped her love of play and activity.
She is Xi to scooping fish and shrimp from her pants and bathing in the rain under the eaves with her friends.
Her aunt, who is four years older than her, wants to go out on her own, but is worried that she will get lost, so she decides to lock her in a chicken coop.
Her tears kept flowing down until a strange uncle opened the door for her, and then she ran out to play again in high spirits.
Zhou Haimei's happy childhood not only shaped the foundation of her optimistic character, but also shaped her rebellious character.
In 1985, her father thought that she would find it difficult to find a suitable partner in the future because she was too boyish, so he quietly signed her up for the Miss Hong Kong audition, hoping that she would become a lady.
Although Zhou Haimei was a little unhappy with her father's "prank", she still chose to participate because she felt that it was a novel and interesting activity.
However, she didn't think about the chances of making the cut, and when the interviewee asked her if she liked watching TV, she replied that she only focused on the news and not TV.
She was told that if she wanted to be selected, she would need to train the models to sway, but she didn't want to listen, and the walk was over as soon as she got on the stage.
After failing to make it into the top 15, she was very happy to congratulate all the finalists backstage.
Her innocence and cuteness that she doesn't know anything about the world has also become a unique attraction that has attracted the attention of TVB.
Coincidentally, in 1984, when TVB began to carry out reforms, in 1985 they added a new artist training course, which was mainly to train those who entered the show business through beauty pageants and models.
In this way, Zhou Haimei embarked on the career path of the first class trainer of TVB.
After that training session, she and Mr. Lai still appeared frequently on the television screen.
At that time, the training course not only imparted knowledge and skills, but also provided financial support, and 17-year-old Zhou Haimei decided to sign a contract accompanied by her father with the idea of "working a summer job".
Despite her mom's persistent opposition, she showed tenacity and issued a stern warning:
If after two years, I can still only play the role of the maid who is responsible for delivering tea and water behind the heroine, then I will leave TVB and return to school to continue my studies. ”
After three months of training classes, she participated in the production of TVB's celebration drama "Yang Jiajiang".
In this star-studded drama called "Wireless Five Tigers", Andy Lau, Wong Yat-wah, Miao Qiaowei, Tony Leung and Tong Chun-yip collaborated for the first time, while stars such as Chow Yun-fat, Carina Lau and Maggie Cheung also participated.
Although Yang Jiumei, played by Zhou Haimei, is only a supporting role, such an opportunity is really precious for those newcomers who participate in the performance for the first time.
*Shown on the right is Zhou Haimei).
In that year, when she was only 19 years old, she got to know the actor Lu Liangwei who cooperated with her because she participated in the filming of the TV series "Island Fengyun".
After two years of secret dating because of drama, on Zhou Haimei's 21st birthday, Lu Liangwei asked her to get married.
At the peak of her career, despite her family's repeated advice, the popular Xiaohua still decided to marry a male artist 11 years older than her, which made the outside world generally regard Zhou Haimei as a "brain of love".
However, she didn't think so, she agreed to the marriage proposal not out of a strong desire, but because she didn't think it was so important to get married, so she chose to "tie the knot".
In a conversation with "Face to Face with Celebrities", she also refuted widespread rumors that the two received their marriage license in Las Vegas.
Initially, I simply filed an application** to a district court to consider the marriage registered within one year of the exchange of rings and the ceremony.
However, this so-called "marriage" lasted less than a year, and the relationship ended before they had a chance.
After the breakup, Lui Weiliang held a marriage ceremony with his next Kwong Meiyun, but they did not officially receive a marriage certificate, and neither of these two exes can be considered "ex-wives" in essence.
Going back to the reason for the breakup, Lu Weiliang made this clear in his autobiography "The Road is Infinitely Broad: The Autobiography of Lu Liangwei":
Zhou Haimei is too busy with filming and has irregular schedules, every time her parents-in-law eat breakfast, she may still be sleeping lazy, and she doesn't think about having children for the time being, and her father-in-law is a little dissatisfied with her.
However, in Zhou Haimei's opinion, the reason why the two broke up was because their personalities were not harmonious.
What he is looking for is a perfect wife who can balance family and career, but Zhou Haimei is still just a young woman who is busy with work.
At that stage, TVB successfully established a complete industrial chain, covering TV stations, human resources and drama production, ensuring its dominant position in decision-making.
When artists shoot multiple works or a small number of works, they usually get a fixed monthly salary of several thousand yuan. In order to speed up the filming schedule and reduce costs, the filming crew had to work three times in a row, and the actors were often on the go.
At the peak of filming, Zhou Haimei had to choose to rest in the bathroom or dressing room on the set.
Once, she worked for four days without a break, until she felt that her whole body was smelling bad, so she asked the director for leave and went home to take a shower.
After taking a shower, I didn't dare to fall asleep, fearing that I would go to bed too late, so I picked up the bucket and walked downstairs to wash the car, and after washing the car, I drove to the set.
It is precisely because of her professionalism that she has starred in many TV series such as "Rogue Tycoon", "Protecting the National Situation", "Smiling Proud in Tomorrow" and "Angry Sword and Wild Sand", all of which have won a good reputation and won the highest ratings many times.
With her pure and lovely image, Zhou Haimei gradually emerged and became a top actress on TVB, and the promise between her and her mother has long been a reality.
It's really stunningly beautiful.
Due to her outstanding appearance and the popularity of new faces, she also participated in the filming of the MV for many artists.
Among them, "Kiss Goodbye" filmed for Jacky Cheung is the most well-known.
In the mainland KTV at that time, many people chose to ** this song again, mainly to appreciate the young and beautiful Zhou Haimei in the MV.
Regarding the reason for their breakup, there is a widely circulated saying that Zhou Haimei and Liming had scandals in the process of cooperating in "Back to When They Were Unmarried".
In the variety show "Super Sunday", Zhou Haimei made it clear that the two were just lovers who had participated in the filming together. However, this does not prevent CP fans from finding candy to eat on their own.
When asked if she had ended her relationship with Zhou Haimei, Liming did not give a clear answer, but chose to be vague:
You think you'll feel happier if we're together, that's that we're already together, and if you don't feel like there's none, then there's none. ”
Although admitting that the two did have a romantic relationship, after the host pointed out that Zhou Haimei was inconsistent with his statement, he changed his words and denied it.
Loyal fans who are familiar with Dawn understand that he doesn't like to hype himself with feelings, so CP fans believe that his behavior is a clear proof of love.
After the scandal, Zhou Haimei focused more on her career.
TVB's director and producer often let her play the role of innocent little white flower, but she didn't think these similar roles were challenging, and the image of these characters didn't match her real personality.
In 1988, when Zhou Haimei's career reached its peak, she decisively chose to terminate her contract with TVB and signed a contract with ATV, but sadly, their cooperation only lasted two years.
Rumor has it that she was originally with Zhou Jiawen, the assistant to the ATV director, so she signed a contract for love and chose to leave after the breakup.
After Zhou Haimei left ATV, she signed a contract with Xingmei (Hong Kong) International Pictures***. But because she was not very good at social activities, she did not work for two years in a row, resulting in her barely being able to pay her rent.
In 1992, it was supposed to be a pretty good time, Tsui Hark began filming the movie "Smiling Proud Jianghu: The East is Undefeated", and she was originally planned to be invited to star, and even the styling of the role was auditioned.
Before the filming began, she suffered a traffic accident that resulted in multiple fractures and valve strikes, leaving her unable to express herself clearly for a long time.
Yue Lingshan was originally a part of her, but Li Jiaxin in the company discovered a flaw, and her cooperative relationship with Tsui Hark was interrupted since then.
As a result, she began to look for job opportunities from the outside world, and during this time, she met Yang Peipei, a Taiwanese producer.
Yang Peipei's representative works include "Smiling Proud Jianghu", "The Condor Heroes" and "Heaven and Dragon Slayer".
With her assistance, Zhou Haimei participated in the performance of her first TV series "The Last King and Sun" in Taiwan.
Because this TV series has received a good response, Yang Peipei took the role of Zhou Zhiruo in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" to find Zhou Haimei.
Although she was not interested in the role, she chose not to play it because she did not agree with the way Chow handled her feelings.
She expressed this opinion: "If people don't have a good opinion of you, why do you keep pestering you? ”
Zhou Zhiruo's receptive and rebellious personality in the early days is significantly different from her personal personality.
Director Lai Shuiqing flew from Taiwan to Hong Kong to persuade her, on the one hand, to show her the psychological motivation for Zhou Zhiruo to go black, and on the other hand, to encourage her to challenge herself.
Yang agreed to add more dialogue and explanations in the process of revising the script to make the role of Zhou Zhiruo more appropriate, so she finally agreed to participate in the performance.
In 1994, the character Zhou Zhiruo was a huge success.
Jin Yong not only thinks that this version of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" is a masterpiece in his mind, but also half-jokingly said that if he had known that Zhou Haimei played Zhou Zhiruo, he would have changed the ending of the story.
Zhou Haimei has also achieved brilliant moments in her career, and the audience has called her "the most beautiful Zhou Zhiruo".
She received high praise in the Taiwanese market and ranked fourth in the Taiwan Dream Lover Contest that year.
Subsequently, Yang Peipei intended to invite the previous team members to shoot the movie "This Life and This World", but because Ye Tong participated in the filming of "The Sea of Flowers" at that time, costume designer Zhang Shuping recommended Chen Hong to Yang Peipei.
At the same time, Zhou Haimei is working hard to transform and break through.
She is determined to break the traditional perception of her jade girl, so she tries her hand at the villain role for the first time in "Truant Dragon 3", playing a killer.
In 2001, in order to transcend the shackles of age, she played the role of Tao Dayu's mother in "Conquering the World".
In 1995, thanks to the strong support of Taiwan's ** Huang Guolun, she successfully launched her first album called "Sunrise Love".
Listen to it, and you will find that the singing is really beautiful.
At that time, the sales volume of this ** even surpassed Jacky Cheung.
After two years, she has once again launched her second *** album titled "Crush on You".
However, due to her agent's strict standards, she felt that becoming a singer was too tiring, so she decided to change careers to become an actress.
During this time, she also began to expand into Japan, shooting large-scale lingerie** and a series of commercials.
In 2000, considering the possibility of expanding to the mainland, he participated in the filming of the TV series "Miss News" in Beijing.
Due to Zhou Haimei's poor Mandarin pronunciation, she could only listen to it but not speak it in the crew, so she made many funny jokes.
While waiting for the venue, the lighting master asked, "Is everything alright?" Someone responded, "Not yet!" ”
She mistook it for "Haimei", so she immediately jumped up and shouted, "Call me? I'm coming! ”
Despite some awkward situations on set, she still enjoyed her time in Beijing, where the paparazzi don't have as many as in Hong Kong, providing her with plenty of privacy.
In 2002, she met an architect boyfriend who was seven years younger than her, and although it was rumored that she had chosen to settle down because of him, this was not the case.
That year, Beijing was hit by a heavy snowfall, and when she saw the romantic scene covered in snow, the idea of settling in Beijing swelled in her heart.
Considering financial management, the value of the renminbi was lower than that of the Hong Kong dollar at the time, and she spent a lot of her savings on a property and eventually achieved significant appreciation.
Regarding the encounter with her boyfriend, it was just an unexpected gain.
At that time, she was participating in the filming of Zeng Zhiwei's new drama, playing a professional lady who is serious during the day and dances at night.
In order to experience life more deeply, he invited the actor who played the opposite scene to take him to the disco in Beijing to experience it.
The architect joined in at the time, and when he introduced himself to Zhou Haimei, he took a brush from his pocket, wrote his name on a piece of paper, and handed it to her.
Zhou Haimei was attracted by his unique charm, and the two fell deeply in love when they first met.
When they were together, she realized that he was really different, that there was neither a TV nor a kitchen in the home, and that the coffee table, sofa and table were piled high with books.
Unable to find a suitable seat, Zhou Haimei and another person sat on the ground casually and bought an induction cooker and cooking utensils. Although Zhou Haimei can often only squat down to stir-fry, she is also very happy.
At first, her family was against the relationship and couldn't accept her living alone as a girl, but she resolutely went north for love.
Although the relationship lasted for 12 years, it eventually came to an end due to Zhou Haimei's refusal to accept the marriage proposal.
Subsequently, Zhou Haimei chose to settle down in the suburbs of Beijing and began her life of seclusion.
Although he has participated in a small number of plays, around 2012, he "returned to TVB" to participate in performances, and although he did not sign a contract with him again, he chose to continue his acting career in the mainland for most of the time.
In "The Legend of Wu Zetian" produced in 2014, she wore a headdress weighing nearly 30 pounds, and many squeezed blood bags grew on her scalp, which were so swollen that people felt like marshmallows.
After filming a scene, you must protect yourself with a neck pillow or take painkillers to continue filming.
In 2018, he participated in the performance of "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" again, and was ridiculed by netizens because of his role change from Zhou Zhiruo to Exterminator, thinking that he was outdated and no longer young.
In that year, the TV series "Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost" was released, and the role of the diva played by Zhou Haimei received widespread negative reviews.
Many netizens complained that she only widened her eyes when expressing anger, her facial expression appeared awkward, and her appearance was gradually declining.
After receiving negative reviews, she left an article in response and decided to quit the Weibo platform from then on.
She repeatedly reiterated that she did not leave Weibo because of her appearance attacked, but she was not very interested in socializing **.
In fact, she likes to widen her eyes when performing, worrying that she will unconsciously squint her eyes because of the close **, so she has developed a good Xi of trying to keep her eyes open.
Due to her poor eyesight, the camera sometimes pulls the lens very close, making it look less good.
Regarding the swelling and deformity of the face, it was because during the filming, her father passed away, which made her very sad and worried, so she took medication.
In an interview, Zhou Haimei candidly said that as the years passed, she had come to terms with the wrinkles on her face.
She doesn't feel averse to older roles, because she thinks she's supposed to be playing at that age.
Moreover, her perspective on acting has changed, she used to be passionate, but now she leans more towards a quiet lifestyle.
When netizens occasionally called her Grandma Zhou, she did not show any politeness, but responded directly with a sentence of "good grandson".
In the face of the promotion of netizens and the request of ** to urge marriage, she chose to stay out of the matter and devote herself to her inner world.
Although some people ridiculed her for being too lonely, she actually enjoyed it.
She has a strong thirst for freedom, does not want to be limited by marriage, and prefers to devote her energy to raising children rather than having children.
Or you can place your emotions on small animals, which is a wonderful phenomenon.
For those who are disappointed with her single status, she asks, "What does your regret for you have to do with me?" ”
She loves her daily life very much, and when she wants to make movies, she takes her dog to a coffee shop near her home to enjoy a coffee, and occasionally watches a movie or goes for a walk to read.
When life is full of choices, try to experience and feel every moment of life as deeply as possible.
When faced with limited choices, you can also go with the flow, not overly entangled, and live a harmonious personal life.
Knowing that life is more like an uncultivated land than a track, instead of blindly pursuing fame and wealth, it is better to cultivate a small piece of land in one's own spiritual world.
Such cheerfulness and relief represent the precious wisdom of life.
Time does not favor anyone, even the most beautiful people will eventually come to the end of their lives, but about the true value of life, whether it is length or thickness, Zhou Haimei has already submitted her answer.
Perhaps in the eyes of the outside world, her death because she lived alone brought a touch of sadness to her later years.
However, isn't such a full and fulfilling life also a different kind of freedom and fulfillment?
The final word.
Zhou Haimei once mentioned that when I was young, I had fantasized about traveling around the world with a school bag, and he did not set foot in the entertainment industry.
Perhaps, she is now busy traveling around the world.
May she have fun
