Wan Bixia was born on July 30, 1966 in Tiu Keng Leg, Tseung Kwan O, New Territories, Hong Kong, China, to a poor family.
Wen Bixia is the youngest of eight children shared by her parents, with four older brothers and three older sisters.
Wen Bixia's father was a former Kuomintang veteran who fled to Hong Kong's New Territories after the defeat of the Kuomintang in 1949, where he married and gave birth to children.
Kuomintang veterans later established a number of *** organizations in Hong Kong, such as 14K and New Ngee An, which almost monopolized various businesses such as food and entertainment in Hong Kong's underground world.
Wen Bixia's father had been a soldier for the first half of his life, and had no other skills, so he had to join the Kuomintang organization.
Wen Bixia's father was also addicted to gambling, which made the already poor family even worse. Despite not being wealthy, Wen's father was still occasionally addicted to gambling.
Therefore, Wen Bixia's childhood life was very difficult, there was not even a radio at home, and she and her older siblings could only lie in front of the neighbor's window **TV when they were bored at night.
In order to fill the family, Wen Bixia's brothers and sisters dropped out of school early to work. As the youngest, Wen Bixia was unable to go out to earn money to help the family, so her parents began to consider giving her away.
When Wen Bixia was four or five years old, one day her mother took her to meet an "uncle". After talking to the "uncle" for a few words, he gave Wen Bixia's mother a wad of money. Little Wen Bixia was wondering why he would give his mother money.
Mother took Wen Bixia's hand, handed her over to the "uncle", and asked her to follow the "uncle" home. Although Wen Bixia, who is only four or five years old, is young, she also understands what is happening.
She was sold to this "uncle" by her mother, and the money that made her wonder just now was her own selling money. Wen Bixia couldn't accept this fact for a while, so she could only cry to her mother, begging her not to sell herself to others.
Wen Bixia's mother had already made up her mind before her daughter, no matter how her daughter cried, she would not look back. However, the "uncle" who bought Wen Bixia saw her sad appearance, but it touched the softest place in his heart. He didn't ask for money, but handed Wen Bixia back to her mother and left alone.
Although she chose to go home with her mother in the end, this incident caused deep psychological trauma to Wen Bixia.
After following her mother home, Wen Bixia's life was still unsatisfactory. In addition to the fact that her family is still poor, her father is also very strict with her management.
Since Wen Bixia's father was a soldier, he was very strict with his children, especially his daughter, and she was hardly allowed to have contact with boys when she was a child.
When Wen Bixia was a child, when the boys in the class called ** to her house, she was usually not allowed to pick her up as long as her father was at home.
Wen Bixia once invited a male classmate to play at home, but when her father came home and saw the male classmate, his expression immediately became very unfriendly, and he let him go home without saying a few words to him.
Under the strict management of her father, Wen Bixia's friends gradually became scarce, and as time went by, she became more and more rebellious.
She was only 14 years old when she fell in love with a boy, although the relationship was very pure, there was no money or other affairs involved, and the most they could do was to write letters and hold hands.
Despite this, when Wen Bixia's mother learned about this, she couldn't help but beat and scolded her, which made Wen Bixia feel very aggrieved, so she rushed out of the house.
After Wen Bixia ran away from home, she had nothing to rely on, so she had to go to a friend's house to stay. This friend is usually well-connected, and a group of "social youth" gathers around him.
After she left her parents, she made a group of such friends, and Wen Bixia followed them to completely indulge herself, smoking, fighting, and going to nightclubs, only to take drugs.
Wen Bixia is adamant that she will not use drugs because she once had a friend who died of foaming at the mouth due to drug abuse (mixed with alcohol), an incident that had a profound impact on her, so she vowed never to use drugs again.
After some time, when Wen Bixia and a few friends were strolling through the streets of Causeway Bay, they met the young screenwriter Wen Jun. 24-year-old Wen Jun handed Wen Bixia a business card and said: "I am a screenwriter, if you have the idea of filming, come to me." ”
Wen Bixia has been favored by boys since she was a child because of her delicate appearance, so it is understandable that Wen Jun wanted to take her into the entertainment industry because of her beauty.
Wen Bixia was very wary of Wen Jun at first, after all, she lived in such an environment since she was a child, and she was almost sold by her mother, so she was a little wary of men.
However, at this moment, Wen Bixia is unwilling to live a life of idleness and dependence on others, nor does she want to go home to rely on her parents, so after many psychological struggles, she finally got through the ** on her business card.
Wen Jun listened to the introduction in **, and immediately remembered the scene of seeing Wen Bixia at that time, so he immediately gave her the address of the crew and asked her to go for an interview.
"Pretty Girl" is a film in which Wen Bixia participated in the interview, this film is produced by McDonald Hung Company, which tells the story of a "problem girl", which can be said to be tailor-made to cater to Wen Bixia. Therefore, Wen Bixia quickly passed the interview.
Wen Bixia encountered a problem during the interview, because she was only 15 years old, so her signature had no legal effect on the contract and had to be signed by a guardian on her behalf.
Wen Bixia could only go home and ask her parents for help, but her father was firmly opposed, he hoped that Wen Bixia would continue her studies and not enter the entertainment industry full of right and wrong.
Wen Bixia had already made up her mind to devote herself to the film industry at that time, so she did not follow her father's advice. Thankfully, Wen's mother may have regretted slapping her and causing her to run away from home.
Therefore, the mother secretly signed the contract signed by Wen Bixia and Mai Dangxiong Company and hid it from her husband. In this way, Wen Bixia finally successfully stepped into the entertainment industry.
Wen Bixia began to participate in the filming of the film "Pretty Girl" directed by Li Dawei and written by Wen Jun, and during this period she officially changed her name to Wen Bixia (formerly known as Wen Biyu).
The film was released in 1982 and caused a sensation at the time with a box office of more than 10 million. The following year, Wen Bixia was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards for her role in the film.
Wen Bixia is full of anticipation for the future, and although she almost won an award in her first film, the box office success is very impressive. However, what is surprising is that the future does not bring her star-studded, but cloudy and dark arrows.
In 1983, McDonald Hung decided to shoot "Unstoppable Love", which tells the story of a poor heroine Liang Peijun who has become a dusty woman. At that time, "** films" were not yet popular, but director McDonnell was determined to add some large-scale content to the film to attract audiences.
In the end, they decided to let Wen Bixia, who was only 17 years old, play the leading role, working with Andy Lau and Wu Mengda. At the beginning, Wen Bixia had no idea that she was going to shoot those large-scale shots.
It wasn't until filming that she followed the director's instructions with tears in her eyes. Until the movie was released in 1984, Wen Bixia, who was only 18 years old, was labeled as a "star".
This movie not only made Wen Bixia's first boyfriend choose to break up with her, but also caused her father to want to break off the father-daughter relationship with her for a while.
Wen Bixia learned a profound lesson after completing the movie "6", so she chose to terminate the contract with McDonald Hung and return to school to continue her studies, hoping to arm herself with knowledge. This experience can be said to have served her very well in education.
In 1986, after two years of studying in school, Wen Bixia received an invitation from producer Liang Li Shaoxia to prepare to star in the movie "Underground Love", which was her first time participating in film shooting.
Because the two left a deep impression on each other during the filming of "Pretty Girl", Wen Bixia also has a deep trust in Liang Li Shaoxia, so she gladly accepted Liang Li Shaoxia's invitation.
In the movie "Underground Love", many big-name actors such as Tony Leung and Chow Yun-fat gathered together. Wen Bixia showed obvious improvement in her acting skills during the filming, however, in comparison, the outstanding performances of other actors made her not gain much attention and fame.
Subsequently, Wen Bixia also starred in the movie "Rouge Buckle" starring Anita Mui and Leslie Cheung, which caused a huge response and even won Anita Mui the Best Actress Award at the Academy Awards.
Despite this, Wen Bixia still did not gain much popularity, which made her doubt herself. Coupled with the fact that the Hong Kong film industry was gradually controlled by gangsters at that time, she decided to stop making movies temporarily.
In 1990, Wen Bixia, who was only 24 years old, signed a contract with TVB and began her own film shooting work.
In 1992, Wen Bixia cooperated with Wen Zhaolun and Luo Jialiang to shoot the TVB TV series "Fire Rose", which was a popular business war TV series at that time.
Wen Bixia's interpretation of the role of "Ouyang Haichao" is very good, because the rebellious, flamboyant and other characteristics of this character are exactly the same as Wen Bixia's character in reality.
As soon as this drama was broadcast, it caused a ratings frenzy, and Wen Bixia's big waves and flaming red lips in the play quickly became a fashion vane for Hong Kong women to follow.
Wen Bixia's synonym "Haichao" has been widely spread since the fire of this drama, and she can almost hear people call her "Haichao" when she goes to **, it can be said that this TV series has made Wen Bixia gain huge attention and popularity for the first time.
After making fruitful achievements in the field of TV dramas, Wen Bixia decided to devote herself to the film industry again. Therefore, she joined hands with Ren Dahua in 1995 and starred in the movie "Shocking Change".
This movie was originally a thriller full of suspense elements, but because Wen Bixia participated in many large-scale passion scenes, many people regarded this film as a "** film", and because of this, Wen Bixia was labeled as a "star".
Wen Bixia didn't aspire to become a "star", but she was attracted to the script of "Shocking Change", so she decided to give it a try. However, she didn't expect that she couldn't help but show many bold performances when acting.
After this movie, Wen Bixia became the "** goddess" in the minds of many otaku, and her popularity soared, but her career fell into a trough.
In 1997, 31-year-old Wen Bixia went to Hawaii for a vacation to relax, hoping to get out of the predicament. Before that, she also experienced a series of events such as the death of her father.
In this place, Wen Bixia met the most important man in her life, he stayed with her for the next twenty years, and because of his support, Wen Bixia can continue to play many outstanding roles in the future.
The man Wen Bixia befriended was named He Zuguang, who was the nephew of He Yingqin, who was the vice president of the Kuomintang, and could be said to be the son of a rich family with a prominent family background and a deep background.
He Zuguang fell in love with Wen Bixia at first sight and launched a fierce pursuit, and Wen Bixia has always harbored fantasies about love, and soon reveled in He Zuguang's gentle humor.
However, there is a huge social status gap between He Zuguang and Wen Bixia, who came from a family, while Wen Bixia is a girl who grew up in a slum. What's more, in the eyes of the He family, Wen Bixia once acted in ** movies.
He Zuguang didn't care about these things, but Wen Bixia didn't want to endure this kind of discussion, so she proposed to He Zuguang to break up.
He Zuguang was very angry with Wen Bixia's actions, he told her that no matter what others thought of her, it had nothing to do with him, and in his heart, Wen Bixia was the woman he loved deeply.
Wen Bixia was deeply moved by He Zuguang's heartfelt words, so she decided to give up the idea of breaking up. In 2000, at the age of 34, she and He Zuguang, who had been in love for three years, held a wedding at the Bodhi Tree Hotel in Phuket, Thailand.
Theoretically, Wen Bixia, as a member of a wealthy family, could have chosen to retire to take care of the family and children at home, but she put forward her desire to continue working and not have children, and He Zuguang accepted this decision without objection.
Wen Bixia later filmed classic works such as "Wind and Cloud Change" and "Fengshen List", especially the role of "Daji" in "Fengshen List", which has become an eternal classic image in the hearts of a generation.
With the decline of Hong Kong's entertainment industry, Wen Bixia gradually turned her attention to the mainland, and in 2010, she adopted a boy with her husband Ho Zuguang and named him Ho Kwok-lun.
Subsequently, Wen Bixia and her husband raised the child together, and occasionally played supporting roles in some plays.
Wen Bixia is 55 years old, and the traces of time are faintly visible on her face, but the amazing temperament she shows will not be erased by time!
