Do you remember that movie called "Children of Heroes"?
How impressed are you of Wang Fang, a female warrior?
82-year-old Liu Shangxian is played by Wang Fang.
However, only one character in her life became famous.
Soon after filming "Children of Heroes", due to the special background of the times, she was excluded and missed the best opportunity for development.
After she re-entered the film industry, she could only take on supporting roles because her age was no longer appropriate.
However, in the most difficult moment of her life, Liu Shangxian found a partner with whom she could spend her life.
How are they? So many years have passed.
Liu Shangxian was about to graduate, it was 1963, and she was in her senior year at the Beijing Film Academy.
She was dedicated to preparing her internship drama and rehearsing it with full attention every day.
While borrowing props, she ran into a person.
At a glance, Liu Shangxian's life direction was changed, which surprised the other party.
The famous director Xie Jin is that person, and he happened to come to Nortel to deal with some affairs.
He is close friends with Wu Zhaodi, the director of "Children of Heroes", and learned that he has recently been preparing a new film.
Wu Zhaodi had considered many people to be selected for the role of "Wang Fang", but in the process of selection, he always felt that these people were missing something.
Therefore, he has not been sure which actor should be found to play the role of the heroine.
Xie Jin also knew a little about the script, so when he saw Liu Shangxian, he immediately regarded her as "Wang Fang".
He didn't react in time, just watched Liu Shangxian walk by.
I don't even know her name, so how can that work.
Wu Zhaodi was convinced of Xie Jin's description, and he also highly recognized Xie Jin's vision.
With screenwriter Mao Feng, the three of them went to Nortel to explore the "Wang Fang" in their minds.
They can only search dormitory by dormitory because they know nothing about the situation.
It took a full 3 hours to finally find Liu Shangxian's location.
However, she is still a student who has not yet graduated and has little experience.
Despite her interest in acting, how dare a director take such a big risk to use a newcomer?
Their courage is really breathtaking, and they decided without hesitation to let Liu Shangxian play the role of Wang Fang.
However, the director first ** her performance in the drama and confirmed her acting skills before starting filming with confidence.
Although it was the first time for Liu Shangxian to officially face the camera, she did not show a very nervous look.
She is young and energetic, like Wang Fang in the movie, full of enthusiasm, full of expectations for the future, and eager to realize her personal dreams.
She is very much looking forward to being able to play the role brilliantly so as not to disappoint the director's expectations.
For the purpose of filming, she went to Shanghai to get her teeth tied.
Because the director mentioned that her teeth were not straight enough, she was affected.
The film was filmed as scheduled, and then the time for release came.
The film was warmly received by the audience, with almost all moviegoers giving it positive reviews.
The stories of Wang Fang and Wang Cheng deeply touched everyone, and they rushed to learn from them.
They widely spread the spark of the revolutionary spirit and became spiritual nourishment for many people.
Liu Shangxian was also popular with this play, and her firm gaze deeply touched the hearts of the audience and left an unforgettable impression.
There are also some viewers who think that her face is a little familiar, like the actor Tian Hua who played "The White-Haired Girl".
In fact, Liu Shangxian also started her career with this characteristic.
Liu Shangxian's parents were educated intellectuals and had a solid family background.
She has been a well-behaved and lovely child since she was a child, and she has a very likable charm.
She has four sisters, and these five girls don't feel lonely or lonely when they play together.
Liu Shangxian grew up happily until she was in high school, when her fate suddenly changed.
A director came to her school for casting and found a girl who looked very similar to Tian Hua.
Therefore, Liu Shangxian became Tian Hua's stand-in in the movie and participated in two movies one after another.
She had never thought she would be able to get involved in acting, and she knew very little about it.
However, she felt very good about the filming experience, which aroused her great interest.
When Liu Shangxian chose a school, she decided to follow her inner voice and finally chose to apply for the Beijing Film Academy.
Subsequently, she received an offer and opened the door to the acting industry.
During her time at school, Liu Shangxian devoted herself to learning professional skills and worked hard to study her acting talents.
Her main hobby at the time was watching movies and learning from the performances of other actors.
She also spends time on the stage to put what she has learned into practice to deepen her understanding of acting.
Encountering an accident like director Xie Jin brought her the opportunity to shoot "Children of Heroes", which changed the trajectory of her life.
Liu Shangxian showed her talent in this play and won the favor of the audience.
She created a character with a soul, thus truly becoming an actress.
However, the good times did not last, and Liu Shangxian failed to continue to shine on the screen.
Not long after she became popular, she fell into a low point in her life.
Thankfully, there was someone who really treated her.
Liu Shangxian's father was hit hard during this special period.
She was also implicated as a daughter.
Liu Shangxian was already working at Bayi Studios at that time and got a job steadily.
However, due to her identity, all directors did not dare to film her.
Liu Shangxian, once a revered "heroine", has now become the object of spurning, and this huge transformation is truly shocking.
No one dared to approach her, and she was surrounded by only disgust and hatred, which made her almost fall apart.
Fortunately, there is one person who is different.
Shen Guorui is his name, and he also works in Bayi Factory and is an excellent recording engineer.
Shen Guorui regards Liu Shangxian's performance in "Children of Heroes" as his idol and loves her very much.
He has deep trust in Liu Shangxian's character and firmly believes that she is not the kind of person everyone says she is.
Shen Guorui was the only one who dared to approach her and cared about her, and everyone else avoided her.
Liu Shangxian was very touched by this rare concern.
Of course, she was also afraid that Shen Guorui would be bothered by strange eyes because of herself.
Shen Guorui was unmoved, and still stood firmly by her side and gave her firm support.
In the end, Liu Shangxian was also moved by him, and the two quickly came together.
The solitude of the night is long and vast, and it becomes much warmer with the company of others.
They have entered the palace of marriage and welcomed a child, they live the life of an ordinary couple, and taste the happiness brought by ordinary life in a warm little home.
Liu Shangxian's youth is fading, but she has still not been able to return to the screen.
However, she has another identity - to become a happy wife and mother.
It wasn't until 1979 that Liu Shangxian finally had the opportunity to start filming.
She has a calm mind, although she is no longer young, but with "Roar! "Yellow River" re-stepped onto the stage, which is her return after more than ten years of absence from the stage.
She has missed the right age to be able to play the lead role on screen. Now, she can only play a few supporting roles.
She will never be able to return to the way she was at her peak, because most of the mother's characters are looking for her.
Although she starred in many movies, none of them caused a sensation, the box office was not ideal, and there were not too many audiences, and almost no one paid attention.
The role of "Wang Fang" in "Children of Heroes" is the most memorable and unsurpassable in her acting career.
It's not necessarily bad, who said that?
In the actor industry, if your name can be remembered, it is already considered the greatest success.
Liu Shangxian successfully performed the role of "Wang Fang" and won the recognition and love of the audience, which is enough.
Children of Heroes has had a profound impact on many people and enjoys a high place in their hearts.
Wang Fang encouraged us to love the motherland, admire heroes, and pursue justice.
Liu Shangxian has infected generations with her performances, and it is these powers that are passed on to everyone.
Her acting skills are excellent, so we should respect her.
She is now in a peaceful state of mind, bathing in her old age and enjoying it to the fullest.
Liu Shangxian's life is uneventful, but it is not boring, she likes to grow flowers, raise fish, play chess and practice calligraphy.
She was reunited with her family and lived a very happy life.
In Liu Shangxian's most difficult time, Shen Guorui has always been by her side, and this is the moment when the crisis sees the truth.
The two went through the most difficult time together, holding hands and ushering in a turnaround.
The audience will always remember every role played by Liu Shangxian, who has left them with the most unforgettable memories.
I hope she and her family are safe and healthy, and enjoy a happier life in their old age.
