Decades later, the aging Liu Shangxian still had remorse in her eyes:"I'm sorry audience! ”
What happened to her, and why was she so sad?

Liu Shangxian when she was a girl had Tian Hua's gentle and dignified temperament. By chance,She was selected as Tian Hua's stand-in to complete the filming of two scenes in a war film。This inspired her to pursue a career in acting.
In 1959, Liu Shangxian was admittedPerformance Department of Beijing Film Academy, starting a four-year career in professional study.
At that time, the development of the film industry was still in its infancy. After graduating, Liu Shangxian did not star in her own screen works as she wished, but moved to different crews in three years as an extra. It wasn't until the winter of 1963 that the goddess of fate opened her doors.
In the winter of that year, Liu Shangxian was doing her homework alone in the dormitory when she suddenly cameThree uninvited guests。It turned out,Famous director Wu Zhaotiis preparing to make a film adaptation of Ba Jin's name of the same name**"Children of Heroes"., and invited Liu Shangxian to audition for the heroine.
This is not only a rare opportunity for Liu Shangxian, who is still studying, but also an unprecedented challenge. Despite her doubts, she plucked up the courage to accept the audition.
Liu Shangxian couldn't sleep that night, and Wu Zhaoti's expectant eyes repeatedly appeared in her mind. She got up early the next morning to practice, and came to the director after lunch.
She performed well and won the role of the heroine Wang Fang through the audition。In order to fit in more with the character, she went home for the summer vacation to have her teeth shaped. This became a sign of her transformation from student to actress.
In the Spring Festival of 1964, "Heroes' Children", which premiered in the cinema, received a warm response from the audience, and Liu Shangxian also performed in the movie.
When asked about her relationship, she smiled, ".I believe that soldiers are my soulmates in this life. Later, she also married a military man. This makes the beautiful encounter from the screen to life.

Her acting talent and youthful spirit have deeply touched the hearts of countless audiences. After graduating from university, Liu Shangxian successfully entered Bayi Film Studio, and her future seems to be very good.
However, the good times did not last long, and soon after, in an era of sudden changes,Her father was implicated in political events and suffered injustice
As a father's daughter,Liu Shangxian was also immediately marginalized, and no one dared to cooperate with her anymore。The film circle that once revolved around her instantly became cold, and her former popularity faded completely.
It was at this most difficult moment that a man calledShen Guorui's man appeared in Liu Shangxian's life.
Shen Guorui and Liu Shangxian met in the film studio, and he is a professional sound engineer. 3 years older than Liu Shangxian, he has a gentle and introverted personality, and he is focused on his work and vows to do his best.

So, the two hearts found support in the wind and rain of the timesRely on the strength of feelings to get through the difficulties and finally come together
At that time, many friends advised Shen Guorui and strongly opposed their relationship.
How can a young man who is on the rise in his career ruin his future because of a woman?
But Shen Guorui did not back down from the advice. He calmly and firmly chose to stay by Liu Shangxian's side. Soon,Liu Shangxian was sent to the countryside for labor reform.
When parting with her, Shen Guorui promised her that no matter what the price, he would wait for her to come back. In those arduous and long years, Shen Guorui fulfilled his promise with actions as promised, and has been waiting for the return of his lover.
At the end of the 60s of the 20th century, the two entered the marriage hall hand in hand after the catastrophe and welcomed their children. But even at that time, Liu Shangxian's marginalization as an actor has not fundamentally changed.
She is still unable to be active on the screen, and can only do chores and scene notes in the cinema。Seeing his former peers busy under the spotlight, but he couldn't do anything about it, Liu Shangxian's heart was tormented. And Shen Guorui still patiently and lovingly watched by her side, giving her warmth and motivation from time to time.
