In the 80s, it was an era of a hundred flowers blooming, and four girls from all over the world gathered in Beiying, a place full of talents and beautiful clouds.
Liu Xiaoqing, Zhang Jinling, Li Xiuming and Zhang Liwei have won the reputation of "Four Golden Flowers" for their outstanding appearance.
Liu Xiaoqing has a unique style in the lineup of "Four Golden Flowers", and her role as a 17-year-old girl at the age of 71 has caused a lot of controversy.
I watched her in a movie when I was in elementary school, when she played a girly role, and I still play the role of a young girl when I watch her now.
Why was Liu Xiaoqing able to maintain his demeanor and lead the way, while the other three chose to quit the entertainment industry?
Chongqing girl Liu Xiaoqing, as one of the "Four Golden Flowers", can be said to be a legendary figure, and at her peak, she was a representative of Chinese actresses.
However, Liu Xiaoqing's childhood was not happy, because when she was very young, her parents divorced, which made her bear the shadow of a single-parent family all the time. Despite this, she showed a strong side.
She understands that her situation is different from that of other children, so she works harder than anyone else, and her grades are always satisfactory, ranking at the top of her class.
Liu Xiaoqing has always longed for singing and dancing in her heart, and at the age of 11, she was admitted to Sichuan ** College with her own efforts and became a well-known "child of someone else's family".
Liu Xiaoqing is not only talented, but also a typical oriental beauty with beautiful appearance and profound connotation. Her charming and smart eyes made her the center of attention as soon as she appeared.
In 1971, because of her outstanding talent, Liu Xiaoqing was transferred to the repertory troupe as an actor.
However, this was not Liu Xiaoqing's peak. When she was 20 years old, she began to contact the film industry and officially stepped on a broader stage, and Bayi Film Studio selected her!
Liu Xiaoqing's life ushered in a turning point in 1975. At that time, "The Great Wall of the South China Sea" was recruiting actresses, and she participated in the audition with the mentality of trying it out.
She never expected that there would be so many actresses in the audition, but luck favored her.
Faced with a diving height of more than ten meters, many female actors withdrew from the drama one after another because they were afraid, but Liu Xiaoqing was not afraid.
She not only showed her strength through a perfect and neat sea jump, but also successfully won the competition for the heroine of "The Great Wall of the South China Sea" with her superb acting skills.
Liu Xiaoqing has since become an uncontrollable presence on the screen, starred in many movies, and became a famous star who attracted much attention at the time.
The debut of the Spring Festival Gala in 1983 was also an important turning point in Liu Xiaoqing's life, when she wore a red shirt and hosted the show enthusiastically.
She became the first female host of the Spring Festival Gala, and as soon as the Spring Festival Gala was broadcast, Liu Xiaoqing's name became popular all over China, and the red shirt she wore was quickly sold out across the country.
Since then, Liu Xiaoqing has established himself in the entertainment industry, playing many classic roles and winning almost all national television and film awards.
The reason why Liu Xiaoqing is so popular is partly because of her efforts, but the most critical is Zhang Jinling.
Zhang Jinling was born in an ordinary family in Hebei, she was born with a star appearance and a gentle and generous personality. It all happened in the 20th century.
Because Zhang Jinling has five siblings, she began to help with laundry and cooking at a very young age. However, even when she had to take care of her younger siblings, Zhang Jinling's studies were never neglected.
Zhang Jinling became an envied teacher after graduating from high school, but she was not satisfied, and longed for those actors who could stand on the stage.
This Hebei girl was especially favored by God, because it happened that the Hubei Repertory Theatre came to the school where Zhang Jinling taught and recruited actors.
The director chose the good-looking Zhang Jinling at a glance, so she naturally joined the repertory troupe and realized her dream of becoming an actress, and she was only 19 years old at this time.
Zhang Jinling is always the first to arrive and the last to leave in the repertory troupe, and her efforts have finally been duly rewarded.
In 1974, Shanghai Film Studio invited Zhang Jinling to shoot "Crossing the River Reconnaissance", in which Zhang Jinling vividly interpreted Captain Liu's heroic posture.
She appeared on the movie screen for the first time, won the memory of the audience with her outstanding performance, and since then her acting career has begun.
With her participation in "The River Flows", Zhang Jinling's fame has risen, and then more and more crew directors have extended olive branches to her.
Beiying welcomed Zhang Jinling to join in 1979, and the director specially arranged for her to participate in the movie "From Slave to General", aiming to show her talent.
She played the Yi girl Soma in the movie, and her outstanding performance won her the Ministry of Culture's Film Youth Outstanding Creation Award, and Liu Xiaoqing at that time was also transferred to Beiying.
thought that Zhang Jinling's career would be smooth sailing, but fate unexpectedly played a joke on her.
In 1982, when Zhang Jinling played the heroine Empress Dowager Cixi at the start of filming of "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace", she was surprised to find out that she was pregnant, and this sudden news disrupted all plans.
At that time, pregnant actors were taboo, so Zhang Jinling chose to quit and go home to raise the baby with peace of mind, and she never regretted it.
I knew that I was no longer an actor, but a mother, and I had to take responsibility for it, and that was what I felt when I was pregnant. Zhang Jinling expressed such thoughts in the interview.
The director was helpless due to Zhang Jinling's withdrawal, and due to the tight time, he was unable to re-recruit the heroine, so Liu Xiaoqing, who played the second female lead in "The Burning of the Old Summer Palace", naturally took over the role of the heroine.
Zhang Jinling's decision unexpectedly ended her acting career, but unexpectedly changed Liu Xiaoqing's fate.
After Zhang Jinling withdrew from the showbiz, Liu Xiaoqing lost a strong opponent in his acting career, and the journey was smooth.
In the acting business, there has never been a smooth sailing time, and there are challenges full of powerful opponents and enemies everywhere. Li Xiuming is one of them in Beiying.
Li Xiuming, born in 1954, is a native of Tianjin, as the youngest of the "Four Golden Flowers", she also has an extraordinary fate.
Li Xiuming is not only charming, but also has a variety of talent hobbies. He has had a keen interest in the show business since he was a child and aspires to become an actor.
Not only did her dream come true, but there was also an unexpected surprise - she was successfully admitted to the Tianjin People's Art Theater and became the most beautiful girl in her class.
Li Xiuming is not proud of her good looks, she knows that relying on strength is more important than relying on appearance, and she studies harder in the class.
At the age of 20, relying on talent and acquired efforts, Li Xiuming has already participated in his first movie "Spring Miao", and also served as the heroine.
In 1976, Li Xiuming stepped into the door of Beijing Film Studio, and since then, she has formed an indissoluble bond with Liu Xiaoqing and Zhang Jinling.
After graduating from Beiying, Li Xiuming's acting career was smooth sailing. She has successively participated in many films such as "Starry Tonight", "Xu Mao and His Daughters".
Li Xiuming became famous with the movie "Peacock Princess", and finally reached the pinnacle of show business and stood out among many stars.
Li Xiuming not only gained a firm foothold in the entertainment industry, but also won the title of actress, and became a household name star of that era in just two years.
Despite this, she firmly chose love rather than career like Zhang Jinling, and in the face of career and love, Li Xiuming also resolutely decided to give up her career and choose to return to her family because she met true love.
Liu Xiaoqing was very happy with Li Xiuming's exit, because Beiying's competitors were reduced by one more.
Zhang Liwei is also not inferior, compared with Zhang Jinling and Li Xiuming.
Zhang Liwei was born in 1954, and he came from a family of scholars. Since he was a child, he has inherited his parents' excellent genes, not only outstanding in appearance, but also outstanding in the class.
Zhang Liwei, although quiet and elegant, also harbors the dream of becoming an actor, and she often projects herself on the actors she sees on TV.
After graduating from junior high school, she became a supermarket salesperson, and whenever she saw an actor on TV, she could only silently hide her dream deep in her heart.
Her outstanding appearance doomed her to be uncommon with the ordinary. At that time, the literary and artistic propaganda team needed to recruit people, and the store manager immediately recommended Zhang Liwei to join the propaganda team.
Zhang Liwei is like being possessed by a koi carp, and as soon as he joined the publicity team, he happened to encounter the recruitment of actors from Beijing Film Studio.
The director discovered Zhang Liwei's excellence at a glance, and fortunately he invited Zhang Liwei to participate in a role in the movie "Haixia".
The director's expectations did not disappoint Zhang Liwei, although he did not receive professional training, but with the flower-like image shown in the film, he successfully entered the audience's field of vision.
She was even more pleased that she was successfully selected by Beijing Film Studio. There is no doubt that Beijing Film Studio is a place that countless people dream of, and her dream can finally become a reality.
She has always had a humble attitude and studied knowledge seriously during her Beiying period. Subsequently, with his superb acting skills, he successfully performed scripts such as "Yanming Lakeside" and "Spring Rain Xiaoxiao".
Since then, Zhang Liwei has started her career in the entertainment industry and is widely recognized as one of the "Four Beauties" of the Beijing Film Academy.
However, the path of dreams is not always easy. After getting married, Zhang Liwei announced that he had quit the showbiz and chose to return to his family, which made many viewers feel regretful.
However, her choice does not seem to have paid off. Soon after, she got married, and Zhang Liwei became a single mother because she and her husband had a long-term conflict.
As of today, Liu Xiaoqing is the only one who is still moving forward on the road of acting, while the other three former stars have disappeared since they quit the entertainment industry.
Liu Xiaoqing announced on social platforms that she starred in the movie "Night Rain and Autumn Lights", which will be on January 17. On February 4, she also shared her ** when she was younger.
Liu Xiaoqing, now 71 years old, has proved with her own strength that as long as the heart is always young, people will never grow old, she has always maintained a girlish heart and showed her unique charm.
