From the day before yesterday to today, a name has always touched people's hearts:That is the actor of "The Most Beautiful Zhou Zhiruo":zhou hai mei . 
At the beginning, the day before yesterday, a netizen suddenly posted: "Actress Zhou Haimei has passed away." 
After the news spread, many people didn't believe it. Because just two days ago, she just celebrated her 57th birthday, and she was still in very good shape at that time. 
Zhou Haimei's friends for many years also refuted the rumors:Not deceased, is receiving in hospital**. 
At this point, everyone also thinks that Zhou Haimeiji has her own natural appearance, but she is only temporarily hospitalized for recuperation, and I wish her soon**. However, I didn't expect that just a few hours later, Zhou Haimei's studio issued an official statement late at night:Zhou Haimei passed away on December 11, 2023 due to ineffective medical treatment. 
After the news is confirmed, it is difficult for most people to accept it. 
In "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", Zhou Zhiruo is the most tragic character - she paid her love to a man who didn't love her all her life, endured hardships, and until the end of the story, she didn't get a good endingIt has become uneasy in the minds of many people. 
And Zhou Haimei herself, who was born beautiful, was named a jade girl after her debut. In that Hong Kong ** era, female stars such as Zhong Chuhong, Zhou Huimin, and Qiu Shuzhen were already fighting with immortals on the screen, Zhou Haimei was definitely not the one with the most perfect facial features, but she was definitely unique in temperament - weak and boneless, clever and smiling, especially the two slightly protruding rabbit teeth, which led the aesthetic trend of "beauty and three-point buck" at that time. However, I have been amazed by time, I have loved a few people, but I have never stepped into marriage, alone, only accompanied by a few puppies, and at the end of my life I was still plagued by illness and died suddenly. There is a way to be:The beauty is twilight and the hero is old, and the most unbearable is the red dust. Since ancient times, "Shameful Life" seems to be a conventional patterned tragedy, with no children and no daughters, a bleak evening, and a lonely old age, which also seems to be very much in line with some people's speculation about an aging beauty.
However, if you look back carefully at her coming, you will find that the background of her life has never been sad. She has never been a tragic girl, we are too deep into the play. Zhou Haimei, in fact, deceived everyone-
Zhou Haimei would not have become a female star. Born on an island in Hong Kong, she didn't like to spend time with girls when she was a child, but spent her days climbing trees and playing with boys who were bigger than herself. When she was older, when she entered the school, she would fight with the boys in her class, beating each other to the point that her nose was blue and her face was swollen, forcing her parents to come to the door and beg for mercy.
Zhou Haimei's father didn't want her to be so unrestrained, he expected her to grow up like everyone's ladies, and forced her to learn Xi old-fashioned etiquette rules. However, Zhou Haimei is very rebellious, unwilling to be raised as a canary, and often runs away to play. Even if he is caught and locked up in the chicken coop, he does not "repent". This made Zhou's father particularly headache, and he wanted to wait for the opportunity to treat his daughter.
It wasn't until 1985 that Zhou's father saw the advertisement for the Miss Hong Kong contest, and after thinking about it for a long time, he handed over the registration form for Zhou Haimei, not asking her to become famous, but only asking her to learn etiquette and etiquette. In this way, 19-year-old Zhou Haimei put on the first pair of high heels in her life and went on stage in a daze. But she has no stage experience, no manners, and a cheerful expression, like a bouncing bunny.
She also didn't know how to speak with high emotional intelligence, and when asked about her future ideals, other contestants considered and considered, but she didn't think about it and blurted out:"I want to be the first female astronaut in Asia!”Maybe it was too out-of-the-box and didn't meet the beauty pageant standards, and in the end she only stopped in the top 30. It's just that, unlike the crying and leaving the field of other eliminated players, she only felt that the task was completed, breathed a sigh of relief, and ran over with a smile to hug and shake hands with the promoted players one by one and say congratulations: "Congratulations!."Congratulations!Congratulations!Soon, TVB paid attention to this overly cheerful girl and invited her to participate in the first session"Artist Refresher Course".。When my father learned about it, he strongly objected, thinking it was risky. But Zhou Haimei likes uncertainty. So she promised her father: "You give me two years first, and if I still can't act within two years, I will give up and go back to study obediently." ”My father agreed, expecting that she would soon fail, and retreated. However, the "accident" happened -In just three months, Zhou Haimei acted in the play. In addition, it is also a TVB annual drama that brings together Andy Lau , Chow Yun-fat , Tony Leung , Miao Qiaowei , Huang Rihua and other well-known artists -"Yang Jiajiang".。Although she was a little young at the time, she couldn't stand being recognizable, and she attracted attention as soon as she appeared. So TVB struck while the iron was hot and invited her to appear in a fashion drama"Intolerable Feelings".。In the play, she has long seaweed-like hair, silky eyes, and flaming red lips, and she is dressed up in a fashionable manner, and instantly becomes a hot public lover, which also makes the song "What to Ask for in Life" become Zhou Haimei's exclusive BGM.
In the subsequent 1990-1993, Zhou Haimei was named "Most Popular Actress" for three consecutive years. At this time, when her career took off, she also met the first lover in her life - Lu Liangwei. The first acquaintance was at the filming site of a certain drama, and when Lu Liangwei saw her, he silently exclaimed in his heart:"I've never seen such a pure girl. ”And Zhou Haimei was also deeply attracted to this mature man who was 11 years older than herself. Soon, Lu Liangwei proposed, and took Zhou Haimei to Las Vegas on his birthday to get married in a low-key manner. Talented and beautiful, like-minded, and looks very right. However, Lu Liangwei wants to marry a beautiful lady with a pure appearance, but he has never had the patience to understand his wife's true heart. After getting married, he found out that Zhou Haimei was not a "good wife and mother" - not only did she have to go out early in the morning to film all night when she was working, but she also had to sleep until she woke up naturally during the holidays and then go out to call friends and invite friends, not to mention washing her hands and making soup for her husband at home. Lu Liangwei's father is old and sick, and what he needs is a skillful daughter-in-law who can take care of food and daily life. And the most ideal samples of female stars at that time were Yamaguchi Baihui and Zhao YazhiThey all chose to quit the circle and get married at the peak of their careers, and went home to teach their husbands and children. But at that time, Zhou Haimei was a female version of the desperate Saburo, who often waited for a long time for filming, and did not close her eyes for 4 days at the longest, and had to ask for leave to go home because "my body stinks and I want to go back to take a shower". Lu Liangwei finally couldn't bear it anymore and filed for divorce. And, after the divorce, he quickly remarried Kuang Meiyun as his wife.
The lover changed his mind, but Zhou Haimei did not keep it. She is glad: fortunately, there is still a career. But the gossip ** began to spread rumors: "The reason why Lu Liangwei wants to divorce is because he found out that Zhou Haimei and Liming have an affair", the rumors became more and more true, and even became "Lu Liangwei was so angry that he abused Zhou Haimei". Ironically, both Lu Liangwei and Liming have received more attention and more job opportunities because of the turmoil. The only one whose reputation has been damaged is Zhou Haimei. Coupled with the competition of younger and more positive female stars, her film appointments are getting fewer and fewer, and she is reduced to helping singers shoot MVs. It was also at that time that she became the heroine of the MV of Jacky Cheung's "Kiss Goodbye". At that time, she would not have thought that this song would later become a classic track, and her image in the song would continue to appear in the post-8090s KTV song ordering link. And what she didn't expect at that time was that a costume drama took the initiative to extend an olive branch to her. That's - "Heaven and Dragon Slayer". In order to shoot this role well, Zhou Haimei broke through the cauldron and read Mr. Jin Yong's original work over and over again, and finally presented the most beautiful version of Zhou Zhiruo in everyone's minds.
Even Jin Yong himself said: "Zhou Haimei played Zhou Zhiruo, which made me very unbearable to see her suffer, and even wanted to rewrite the ending and write Zhang Wuji to her." Subsequently, Zhou Haimei returned to TVB and starred in many works such as "Pride of Heaven and Earth" and "Across the Seas", setting a record in the history of wireless ratings and winning awards. Her career has regained momentum, and she finally accepts the pursuit of the wealthy businessman Wu Shirong. It's just that soon, Zhou Haimei's body lit up with a red light, and it was rumored that she was diagnosed with "lupus erythematosus", which is difficult to heal for life. When he learned that his girlfriend was sick, her boyfriend Wu Shirong instead of accompanying and encouraging him, turned his head to have dinner with the younger and more beautiful new Hong Kong sister. This incident made Zhou Haimei sober up instantly, and she decisively announced her breakup. At that time, the Hong Kong media wrote her as a "wealthy abandoned woman", and also ridiculed her for her declining and lax. Instead, she took a breath of relief, let go of everything in Hong Kong, and came to the mainland to set up a personal studio, becoming the first Hong Kong star to "go north". As she gets older, the world is different, and she is no longer the heroine Zhou Zhiruo, but has become an exterminator.
But she is still like when she played the heroine in the past, and she is seriously preparing for the play in the summer with a hood and heavy costumes.
The audience is no longer the audience of the past, when she appeared, a post-00s asked spicily on the barrage: "Who is this Bucktooth Aunt?".The controversy even turned into a cyber violence, with a large number of netizens who were too deeply involved in the drama flocked to her Weibo comment area to abuse her because they were too disgusted with the villain she played"Ugly aunt".
Zhou Haimei was not angry, and only announced her withdrawal from Weibo.
Someone asked her, "Why did you quit?".Is it because you care too much about what others say?She smiled"No, it's because I don't care anymore. ”She never took the initiative to tell the outside world about her condition, but in fact, she was already suffering from illness at this time. Although this in itself can be a matter of sympathy for her to continue to be noticed. Although many out-of-gas Hong Kong stars sold their feelings to live broadcasts at that time, they continued to make a lot of moneyZhou Haimei did not continue to covet the afterglow of the stage, turned around in a dashing manner, and left the stage with dignity. Since then, she has settled alone in a villa in Shunyi, Beijing, planting flowers and grass in front of the house, raising cats and dogs in the house, and a vegetable garden behind the house to be self-sufficient, and living a quiet life. And, determined to spend the rest of your life like this.
However, there are still many people who think that she ended up like this because she was sick and unable to have children and was abandoned by her boyfriend, "so pitiful". From time to time, there will be netizens who come to stir up trouble, some people say that she is old and ugly and persuades her not to eat too much, but she refuses PUA and will never **. There are also people who regret that she is unmarried and childless:"You're so beautiful, what a pity don't you leave a descendant?”Zhou Haimei was not used to it, and replied domineeringly:"My family has no throne to inherit. ”
Many people seem to be seriously lacking in imagination, in their cognition, life can only be a narrow and monotonous track, when to fall in love, when to get married, when to have children, it is a competition, you can't fall behind, otherwise it will be a failure. They can't even imagine that a woman can get extra happiness beyond marriage and childbearing. But what is the only way out in this world?
You don't have to live as a rose. If one wants to, they can make jasmine, daisies, sunflowers, nameless grass, and thousands of them. As long as all these things come from the heart of the ta. If there is only one and only one necessity in this world, it can only be:Follow your heart to live this life. Now that Yiren has passed away, Zhou Haimei has never married in her life, has no children and no daughters, and is 57 years old. But seeing her smile on her last public appearance, I absolutely want to believe itShe must have taken the initiative to choose to live such a life in the way she likes.
In this way, in this life, she has not wasted or passed even a minute or a second.
Thank you, sister, for exploring and showing us another possibility.
