Hui Yinghong, first love is bitteryears, unmarried.
When Hui Yinghong was 12 years old, she met her first love, a young sailor, 6 years older than her.
On that cold Chinese New Year's Eve, the young sailor taught Hui Yinghong how to express "love", but the boy left suddenly and never returned. After fifty years of searching, Hui Yinghong has always remembered his image and his eyes.
Hui Yinghong has never entered the palace of marriage, just because there was once a person who warmed her youth, and a young man lit the candle in Hui Yinghong's heart, bringing her a glimmer of hope, and to this day, she still sticks to it, looking forward to his return.
In China in 1960, a rare natural disaster wiped out grain crops in many lands. In this special context, a special little girl was born in a team that fled from Beijing to Xiangjiang.
She is a descendant of the Manchurian Zhenghuang Banner and is affectionately known as "Little Gege". Her name is Hui Yinghong.
Hui Yinghong was born in the cold February, and her cry was loud and deafening, like thunder piercing the sky. Perhaps the newborn baby girl foresaw that she would experience the twists and turns of life and the tragedy of fate.
Hui Yinghong's father was a relative of the Qing Dynasty, and with the fall of the Qing Dynasty, he and his wife and children packed gold and silver to escape the hustle and bustle of the capital.
Hui Yinghong's father fell into the trap of wicked people many times on the way to Hong Kong because of his ignorance of the sinister world, and before he arrived in Hong Kong, the family's savings were cheated out.
After coming to Hong Kong, Hui Yinghong's identity has also changed from a "little princess" to a "poor girl". In order to survive, Hui Yinghong's parents could only send their children to the drama troupe, but because Hui Yinghong and her sister were too young, the troupe could not accept them, and in desperation, they could only stay with their parents.
Although the family of four is not wealthy, they can barely make ends meet, and although they have poor clothes and a dilapidated house, they can at least shelter from the wind and rain, and have enough food and drink. However, the typhoon season in Hong Kong brought new challenges, as their houses were easily destroyed and left without the last shelter, leaving them truly homeless.
They can only wander the streets, begging in front of restaurants when they are hungry, and resting under bridges when they are sleepy.
In order to support her family, Hui Yinghong traveled for more than 12 hours in the biting cold wind, selling cigarettes and sugar on the streets. The long-term training has allowed her to develop a special ability, that is, "to read words and colors".
She was keenly aware of those who bought her cigarettes out of pity and sympathy, and those who pushed her away with disgust and contempt.
Hui Yinghong has lived such days for a long, long time, and her heart has been blown as cold and hard as ice by the cold winter sea breeze. Until her heart began to become numb, the match in her hand was still burning, but her heart was already as cold as ice.
When Hui Yinghong was only 12 years old, she met a handsome sailor on the side of the road. He is a mixed race, and his appearance made all the candies in Hui Yinghong's hands sold out, and this sudden "big order" made Hui Yinghong very excited.
Originally, Hui Yinghong thought that the young sailor was just passing by by accident, but in the following days, he came to Hui Yinghong's stall almost every day and bought all her sweets.
Looking at the eyes of the young sailor, Hui Yinghong seemed to see the endless ocean, and his eyes looking at Hui Yinghong were always so firm and deep. One day, the sailor came to Hui Yinghong's side again, he bought all the sugar in Hui Yinghong's hand as usual, but did not immediately turn away, he stopped, squatted in front of Hui Yinghong, and asked in Chinese, which is not very fluent: "In Cantonese, how do you say i love you?" ”
When Hui Yinghong was young, she did not hesitate to give the right answer. However, as she watched those eyes as deep as the ocean staring at her, her heart began to beat faster, and a faint flush appeared on her cheeks.
The sailor did not speak again, got up and left. Seeing his back getting farther and farther away, Hui Yinghong's heartbeat slowly calmed down.
Hui Yinghong looked forward to the fall of night day and night, and she longed to see the sailor again and repeat that sentence. However, the sailor never appeared again, and he set out on his journey to become a warrior in the mighty army.
On the battlefield full of artillery fire, only the lucky can survive, and the young soldier with a young girl in his heart may not be among those lucky. As soon as the horn of war sounded, the eyes that had once looked at Hui Yinghong may be closed forever.
For fifty years, Hui Yinghong has adhered to the deep memory of the young sailor, although there is no name, no **, but his image has been deeply imprinted in her heart.
Hui Yinghong always remembers the sailor who gave her warmth in the cold night, and the first love who taught her love. In these fifty years, she has never given up searching, hoping for that moment of reunion.
Hui Yinghong, who received the award in Los Angeles, held a public meeting to raise funds for veterans. She asked the veterans in the audience if anyone had ever been to Hong Kong, China, and if anyone remembered the little girl with two pigtails standing on the side of the street selling cigarettes on that cold night.
She longed for someone to remember, for that person to be alive, but the answer was silence. "If he were alive, I would have to say 'I love you' to him again. ”
Hui Yinghong, who was only 12 years old, resolutely stepped into the dancer industry in order to earn more living expenses. And this decision also brought her life into a new trajectory.
In this challenging industry, she gradually discovered her talent, and through unremitting efforts, she was successfully promoted to lead dancer, which has attracted more and more attention and recognition.
Two years later, Hui Yinghong finally ushered in an opportunity to reverse her fate. At only 14 years old, she was dancing on stage, but she attracted the attention of director Zhang Che. Without hesitation, he decided to let this girl play the role of Mu Nianci, the second female lead in the movie "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and Hui Yinghong began her acting career.
However, the predicament of reality still relentlessly pounds on Hui Yinghong's fragile shoulders.
Although Hui Yinghong can only get 500 yuan a month as an actor filming movies, this is enough for her. Her mother was unhappy about this and hoped that she would quit her job and return to the world of dancing, which could bring in an income of 1,500 yuan a month, enough to support her family.
Don't be afraid, whatever you do is right, I always believe in you and you can do it with confidence. These words touched her deeply and gave her more strength and courage.
Despite losing her father's support, Hui Yinghong still insisted on returning to the filming set, which was an opportunity she cherished. However, the next day, Hui Yinghong received a ** from her mother, telling her that her father had died.
She hurried home, and when she looked at her father's peaceful face, she felt great pain in her heart. She imagined that her father was no longer suffering from illness in her dreams, and her heart was full of helplessness and sadness.
Despite losing her father's support, Hui Yinghong still insists on doing what she loves, because she knows that this is what her father has always wanted.
After dealing with her father's death, Hui Yinghong returned to shoot the movie successfully. Soon after, the movie was released as scheduled, and the lively and cute one on the screen"Mu Nianci"into the hearts of the audience.
Hui Yinghong became famous overnight and became the new one"Movie queen"。On the day of her father's death, Hui Yinghong went to visit her father with a movie ticket, she put the movie ticket in front of her father's spirit, and kept reading: "Dad, I did ......."But her father's response, Hui Yinghong couldn't hear it anymore.
All she could feel was the breeze around her, and the warm touch was like her father's love, just like her father's silent but deep care for his daughter. After that, Hui Yinghong signed a contract with the company and officially became a film actor.
In the 70s of the last century, Hong Kong martial arts films reached their heyday. However, the high level of action and the constant risk of injury discourage many actresses, and few are willing to take on movies with too many martial arts elements.
Hui Yinghong's choice shows a cherishing of opportunities and a fighting spirit of "not afraid of death". She has no foundation in martial arts, but she has seized every hard-won opportunity to perform, and repeated failures and injuries have not stopped her from moving forward.
In the end, she gained a firm foothold in the field of martial arts films with perseverance and became a well-known "martial arts actress".
Hui Yinghong filmed a scene of jumping from a tall building, which is a scene that requires extreme courage and determination. Although the stuntmen refused to act, she chose to go into battle herself.
However, the moment she landed, her left leg was broken due to insufficient protection. At the hospital, doctors told her she had to put on a cast to recuperate. But she didn't give up because of this, in order not to affect the filming of the movie, she decided not to fix the plaster cast first, but asked the martial arts instructor to help fix her legs and finish the filming of the upper body.
This kind of perseverance allows us to see Hui Yinghong's professionalism and dedication as an actor.
Although Hui Yinghong went to the hospital to receive **, because she missed the best ** time, her left leg was left with lifelong pain. Every time the weather is cold, she suffers from sore legs, waist and even head.
Although she has suffered countless injuries on her body, she says that these injuries are nothing, because compared to the days when she was a child who did not have enough food and clothing, she is already enjoying happiness.
In 1982, Hui Yinghong won the Best Actress at the Academy Awards for the first time with her outstanding performance in the movie "Elders", which established her status in the field of martial arts films in one fell swoop.
Since then, her salary has soared from 500 yuan to 50,000 yuan per month, and no matter how she goes, the audience recognizes her, and everyone knows that she is an actress who has good kung fu on the screen.
However, just when Hui Yinghong thought that life was going well, fate played a big joke on her.
Fourth, in the 90s of the last century, Hong Kong's martial arts films began to decline, and literary films began to emerge. The former martial arts stars are now uncared for, and Hui Yinghong is one of them.
The image of a "martial arts female star" that she once tried her best to create has now become an obstacle to her development.
In order to adapt to the development of the times and the industry, Hui Yinghong proposed to the company to change her image, hoping to appear in literary films, so that the audience can see another side of her - not only can "fight", but also can be heartfelt.
However, the company's response was lukewarm and rejected her offer. In desperation, Hui Yinghong decided to save herself and paid for a set of photos by herself. In this group**, she showed her feminine charm and tried to tear off the "martial arts" and "masculine" labels on her body.
Among the film contracts received by Hui Yinghong, they were all invitations to small roles such as "mother" and "aunt". Although she still maintains the pride of "actress", she can't accept that she plays those small supporting roles that don't even have a name.
She struggled in the cage she had wove of herself, roaring silently like a trapped beast in a confined environment, yet no one around her could hear her voice or lend a helping hand.
The passage of time slowly accumulated the negative emotions in Hui Yinghong's heart, like mud that could not be dredged, trapped deep in her heart. The haze of depression gradually enveloped her mind, and Hui Yinghong suffered from severe depression.
She began to become reticent, locking herself in her room, her mind full of cranky thoughts, believing that ending her life was the best relief. Finally one day, Hui Yinghong tried to commit suicide, but fortunately, her sister found an abnormality when she came to visit her sister and sent her to the hospital in time.
When she woke up, she saw her mother and sister beside the bed, and their red and swollen eyes made Hui Yinghong feel guilty. She knew she couldn't just leave them, leaving them with no idea how to live.
So she said firmly: "God didn't take me, I have to try again." Hui Yinghong actively cooperated**, and after recovery, she began to actively prepare for her comeback filming. She reads a lot of books to supplement her cultural knowledge, and returns to the company to communicate with former colleagues and keep up to date with the latest information in the industry.
The arrogant Hui Yinghong has passed, and now she is more humble and rational.
She found the company's leadership and said that she is no longer picky about the size of the role, whether it is the main role or the supporting role, as long as there is an opportunity, even a small opportunity, she is willing to accept the challenge.
At that moment, she regained her former tenacity and persistence. She did her best to engrave every role she played in the hearts of the audience, and successfully conveyed a message to the audience: "I am good at playing, but I am not just a master of playing. ”
In 2010, with her outstanding performance in the movie "Heart Demon", Hui Yinghong won the honor of Best Actress at the 46th Golden Horse Awards. Now, 50-year-old Hui Yinghong is a veritable heroine in martial arts films, but in literary films, she has experienced a ten-year "supporting career".
Despite many ups and downs, she has remained consistent and returned to her "starting point".
With a calm heart, Hui Yinghong actively looks for opportunities, and she never lets go of good scripts and potential roles. During the preparation of the 2016 movie "Blood Guanyin", although there were alternative actors for the role of "Mrs. Tang", she still insisted on interviewing the director, showing her determination and perseverance.
Hui Yinghong relied on her own strength and successfully won the role of "Mrs. Tang". In order to show her best state in front of the director, she memorized her lines in advance, carefully designed the overall shape, and performed for 20 minutes, no one spoke, and everyone was impressed by her acting skills.
Regarding someone who once told a fortune that she had a good life and was a princess's life, Hui Yinghong laughed at herself after hearing it: "I am indeed a princess, but I am a princess who was 'exiled' by good luck." ”
Her strength and self-mocking spirit make people admire her even more.
Hui Yinghong's life is full of ups and downs and challenges, and her life story seems to be someone else's two life journeys. From the upheaval of childhood to the bitterness of adulthood, each stage seems to be incomparably long.
However, it was these experiences that made her tenacious and courageous, and made her even more determined on the road to success.
Hui Yinghong has won the Best Actress seven times with her life's hard work, but every time she stands on the podium, she always acts like a newcomer who has just debuted.
Her tearful and choked words of thanks seemed to tell us that no matter how much she has accomplished, she will remain humble and grateful.
The setbacks and difficulties in the past have shaped her tenacious heart, and now she is full of confidence, even on the bumpy road of life, as an actress, she has also reaped countless surprises and successes.
