In the early morning of May 13, 1985, Tang Zhenye's call machine frequently received calls from Weng Meiling.
The afternoon before, they had just had a big fight in the dressing room of TV City, Tang Zhenye brushed his sleeves away, and Weng Meiling's sentence "Then it's better for us to break up" was also knocked to the ground by his slamming door.
Weng Meiling waited for most of the night, but still did not receive a call back from Tang Zhenye. She dialed Tang Zhenye's call machine again and left a message.
If you don't get back to me, you won't be able to see me.
On the morning of the 13th, Weng Meiling, who fainted on the sofa, was taken to the hospital by a friend, but she was unable to recover.
* It was announced that Weng Meiling died of gas poisoning, which is more likely to be a suicide.
Years later, Tang Zhenye talked about his deceased lover on a talk show. When asked why he refused to go back to Natong**, he just replied lightly.
I want to be quiet
Many years later, when Tang Zhenye talked about Weng Meiling, his impression was still "easy-going and sweetly smiling".
And when he talked about Weng Meiling's immortal death, he was still using words to describe his shock and incomprehension.
Until now, I think, I think it's a question, how can this kind of thing happen? ”
After watching too many interviews like this, I can't help but feel Qi Ran in my heart.
Tang Zhenye may never really know about this lover he has been dating for three years.
Weng Meiling is her mother's only daughter.
Her father already had a wife before she met her mother, and Weng Meiling was an illegitimate daughter.
Dad was a seafarer before his death, and his financial situation was very good, and he was not stingy with their mother and daughter.
Her father often visited her and her mother at home, but no matter how happy the previous time was, he always returned to his own family when night fell.
The lack of the role of "father" and the lack of "father's love" made Weng Meiling have an almost paranoid yearning and desire for "lifelong love".
Weng Meiling in childhood.
When Weng Meiling ran for Miss Hong Kong, the question she drew in the quiz session was "what is your favorite animal".
Weng Meiling's answer was a swan.
At that time, everyone felt that the swan was elegant and calm, which was very suitable for the high education and strong artistic atmosphere.
But the swan has another meaning.
Like geese, they are loyal birds. It is a rare monogamous and lifelong marriage system in the animal kingdom, and once it is recognized, it will follow each other until the end of life.
Just like Weng Meiling's concept of love.
When she was 7 years old, Weng Meiling's husband and wife died. Because the mother has no name, her identity is not recognized, and she does not receive a penny.
The rapidly declining economic conditions and the lack of the role of a father make Weng Meiling very strong and sassy in dealing with people.
Little Weng Meiling subconsciously realized that her father, who was the "protector" in the traditional family, was missing in her own family, so she chose to protect herself.
Since she was a child, what she likes is different from other girls, the girls around her are quietly wearing dresses and playing with dolls, but she has liked the little boy's clothes since she was a child, and she also likes the set of dancing knives and guns.
Her mother was afraid that she would grow into a "man's wife", so she deliberately cultivated her in art and bought her a lot of dolls.
As a result, Weng Meiling played with dolls differently from other little girls, she liked to pick up the doll's clothes, follow the doctor's example to treat them, and dismantle the toy necklace given to her by her mother, and feed the beads to the doll's mouth, saying that this was their medicine.
Weng Meiling in primary and secondary school.
After immigrating to the UK, she did not choose to go to a school with a large number of Chinese.
As the only Chinese in the school, Weng Meiling, who had just entered the school, was advised by the teacher to downgrade one level first, and then talk about it after she got used to the language.
This suggestion made Weng Meiling very annoyed, and she said directly: If you want to reread it, you would rather not read it!
In the end, she also won the competition and went to study at the age when she should go.
Of course, Weng Meiling is indeed very competitive. During the school period, her grades have always been very good, and the slogan of the selection of Miss Hong Kong that year was "the coexistence of wisdom and beauty", and the one-meter-58 Weng Meiling was able to reach the finals all the way, and a large part of the reason was that Hong Kong people recognized her high education.
Weng Meiling is indeed artistic.
Her uncle was a painter, and she learned to paint from his uncle, and soon had her own ideas for artistic expression.
When I was thirteen, my mother remarried and immigrated to England with my stepfather. Because of the extremely cumbersome immigration procedures, Weng Meiling could not follow her mother and needed to stay in Hong Kong to live with her uncle for a period of time.
At the age of thirteen or fourteen, when life values are the most critical to shape, Weng Meiling is really like a duckweed, separated from her mother by the coast and her father by yin and yang.
There are so many houses and so many lights in Hong Kong, and none of the lights are really lit for her.
She still has to be strong, wrapping herself in a smile and optimism. Cynical but honest and kind.
After Weng Meiling's death, her family compiled a book of letters she wrote to her mother in England when she was about 14 years old.
Dear Mother and Uncle Tang:
In this cannibalistic society, sometimes it's really hard to prevent. As long as you are at ease and able to deal with the danger, you don't need to go against those cunning villains, Mother. As the saying goes, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, so I don't believe that we will be bullied to the end. ”
Weng Meiling with her mother and stepfather.
More than 20 years after Weng Meiling's death, her Dutch first boyfriend, Bob, completed a personal website that he had spent three years building for Weng Meiling.
With the publication of the webpage, the relationship between Weng Meiling and Bob, which has never been mentioned by her and has been sealed for many years, has finally entered people's attention.
Bob uploaded a large number of photos of Weng Meiling's life before her death on the webpage, most of which were never made public.
Bob used ** and words to reshape her girlhood for netizens who still miss Weng Meiling.
In 1976, Weng Meiling met Bob from the same school when she was a high school student at Cambridge College of Arts and Sciences.
Weng Meiling is really the destined Huang Rong, she always yearns for a "Brother Jing" type boyfriend.
Loyal, kind, and able to give you enough tolerance no matter what the situation.
BobWestern boy's childlike gentleness and thoughtfulness were enough for her to fall.
She seems to enjoy getting along with Bob very much, Bob wrote in ** that they were always reluctant to separate at that time, even if they were separated for an hour, they would definitely kiss when they met again.
Enough physical contact gives Weng Meiling enough security and a sense of belonging, and it is precisely because of this that her relationship with Bob is very deep.
It was also for the same reason that she and Bob went to separate.
Unlike Tang Zhenye, who never understood why Weng Meiling embarked on this path, Bob was not a little surprised by Weng Meiling's suicide.
Because Weng Meiling had already tried to commit suicide in the five years she had been dating him.
And at least twice.
The first time happened after Weng Meiling's mother found out that Weng Meiling and Bob were dating, Weng's mother was extremely opposed to Weng Meiling dating Western boys, so she locked Weng Meiling in the room for several days, and even cut the ** line in Weng Meiling's room.
After a violent quarrel, Weng Meiling took advantage of her mother's inattention and swallowed a lot of sleeping pills.
Fortunately, her mother found out in time and sent her to the hospital for gastric lavage to be rescued.
Bob knew about this because he received a call from Weng Meiling in the hospital, which was the first call they made after Weng Meiling's mother objected to dating.
Weng Meiling and Bob
The second suicide occurred while in college.
At that time, the two of them were not in the same school and could only see each other once a week.
The long separation tore Weng Meiling's life, and she couldn't stand this "long" separation, so she swallowed the pill again.
But this time she quickly regretted it, and was rescued by banging on the wall to attract the classmates next door.
In this way, Bob was very distressed and angry, and he asked Weng Meiling to swear to himself that he would never behave like this again in the future.
Their relationship back then should have been really good, Weng Meiling wanted to get married, and they also held a simple engagement ceremony at Bob's house, witnessed by Bob's parents and eldest brother.
Later, after graduating from university, Bob's family wanted to return to the Netherlands to settle down.
It is said that Weng Meiling once had a phone call with Bob's mother** and asked her if she and her mother could give financial assistance and support if necessary.
Judging from the results, Bob's mother should not have given a positive answer.
After Weng Meiling and Bob broke up because Bob moved out of the UK and separated from her lover, Weng Meiling experienced an emotionally difficult time.
It was also at this time that she received a letter from Hong Kong, asking if she would like to come back to participate in the Miss Hong Kong contest.
Weng Meiling, who is out of love, thinks that staying away from sadness should be a good thing for her current self.
In 1982, Weng Meiling packed her bags and decided to go back to Hong Kong to "break through".
Sister Hong Kong's election was not as smooth as Weng Meiling imagined, because of her height of 1.58 meters, she only won the eighth place that year.
But fate was not willing to abandon her.
As soon as the election of Sister Hong Kong ended, she was signed by TVB to be an assistant host.
Because she showed her face more in the show and behaved intellectually and decently, Weng Meiling was quickly noticed by advertisers.
It didn't take long for Weng Meiling to get an advertisement for conditioner, and thus started her career as an "advertising star".
Life is always a "chain reaction".
After filming a few commercials, Weng Meiling's on-screen expressiveness was seen by more producers.
In 1982, Weng Meiling was invited to star in "Thirteen Sisters", and it was during the filming of this drama that Weng Meiling met the second "Brother Jing" in her life.
Weng Meiling "Thirteen Sisters".
When filming "Thirteen Sisters", Weng Meiling was a "TV newcomer" who was electrocuted for the first time, but Tang Zhenye had already played Duan Yu in "Dragon Babu".
Because they are both wireless artists, Weng Meiling called Tang Zhenye "senior brother" at the scene, and Tang Zhenye called Weng Meiling "little junior sister".
Young and single handsome guys and beautiful women, staying together day after day, senior brothers and sisters screaming, and not having feelings, then there are really ghosts.
Weng Meiling has always been a "two-faced person".
In front of people, he always looks like an "optimist" who laughs and laughs, and no amount of pain and pressure in his heart will be poured out.
In 83, Weng Meiling starred in the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" that made her famous.
During filming, a teacher in Wuxing accidentally injured Weng Meiling's eyes, and the teacher of Wuxing was stunned at that time.
hurt the heroine's face, then he will definitely not be able to mix in the future.
As a result, Weng Meiling joked with him while covering her bleeding eyes: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, help me get a double eyelid for free, isn't that great?" ”
In fact, she was terrified in her heart.
As an actress who has just debuted, if she really breaks her appearance, it is really "dying before she is born".
It was also during this period of eye injury that Weng Meiling recognized that Tang Zhenye was her "Brother Jing".
During that time, Tang Zhenye took care of Weng Meiling every step of the way, and even learned how to make soup, which made Weng Meiling feel warm.
There is always only one way to capture Weng Meiling - like "Brother Jing", give her enough tolerance, security and a sense of belonging.
When she first dated Tang Zhenye, Weng Meiling asked her good friend's opinion.
Friends said that it is okay to date, but emotional matters must not be let ** know.
Weng Meiling didn't listen.
In September 1983, the two were invited to participate in the star-studded performance.
I don't know what the choreographer thinks, but let such a couple in love sing the song "How Precious Tonight" is full of parting meaning.
Of course, people in love have no such taboos, and they hold hands and dance the waltz on the stage, and sing this parting song in an extremely cheerful tone.
83 years ago, ** wrote that she was "Tang Zhenye's girlfriend"; 83 years later, ** wrote that Tang Zhenye was "Weng Meiling's boyfriend".
At first, the two of them were also sweet in front of the screen, but soon, Tang Zhenye couldn't stand the feeling of being a girlfriend pendant, and intentionally or unintentionally avoided sharing the stage with Weng Meiling.
Soon, ** also changed from reporting the love between Weng Meiling and Tang Zhenye to reporting on the "love change" between the two of them.
Magazines and newspapers analyze the feelings of the two of them with all kinds of "cheating theories", as long as the two people look at each other with the opposite sex, it is affectionate, and if it appears in the same frame, it will be even worse.
Miao Qiaowei, who starred in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" with Weng Meiling, has become the "hardest hit area" of the ** report.
The third brother had to complain in front of **: "I and Tang Zhenye and Huang Rihua are all brothers, Weng Meiling is Tang Zhenye's girlfriend, and my relationship with her is actually treated like a brother and sister!" ”
not only chased Weng Meiling all day long, but even Tang Zhenye** did not let go.
While saying that he was flirting with Wu Junru, he said that he and Zhong Chuhong fell in love because of the play.
Back then, Tang Zhenye and Zhong Chuhong filmed "Voyeurism", because there were many relatively naked plots in the film, which made Weng Meiling very jealous.
In addition, ** has been chasing Tang Zhenye and Zhong Chuhong to report, and the jealous Weng Meiling took a set of large-scale photos for a magazine in a delirium.
*The timing of picking Weng Meiling to go out to work will be published**, and Tang Zhenye will be angry after seeing it.
Originally, Tang Zhenye rented the house upstairs to Weng Meiling's house, but when the house expired when it was published, Tang Zhenye moved out of the residence directly.
Originally, Weng Meiling just wanted to make Tang Zhenye jealous, but because the two of them communicated too little every time a conflict broke out, and then it was reported by **, the contradiction was directly tied into a dead knot.
Zhong Chuhong's "Voyeurism".
During that time, Weng Meiling's acting career also entered a bottleneck period.
After "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", she never jumped out of the shadow of "Huang Rong", and the subsequent works were thunder and rain.
There are even reports criticizing Weng Meiling for not daring to play too rough roles in order to keep her smart and delicate image of "Pretty Huang Rong".
One report after another shattered Weng Meiling's strong heart, and Tang Zhenye's "cold treatment" forced Weng Meiling, who lacked a sense of security and needed tolerance, into a corner.
During that time, Weng Meiling even tried to go to a nightclub to get drunk.
It was also during this time that Weng Meiling met the third "Brother Jing" in her life, the rich second-generation Zou Shilong.
Although the relationship with this "Brother Jing" has always stopped at the step of friendship, as a friend, Zou Shilong gave Weng Meiling enough tolerance and consideration, and also relieved her when she was most sad.
In fact, Zou Shilong and Weng Meiling have not known each other for a long time, and they have only been dating for two or three months.
refers to the interaction between friends).
In the spring of 1985, TVB was going to shoot "The King of the Bridge King", and the heroes and heroines were Weng Meiling and Tang Zhenye.
If the two of them could sit down and talk about it during the filming of this episode, neither of them would have come to this point in their lives.
But they didn't, and during that time their relationship had entered a state of anxiety under the catalysis of ** chasing after the wind and shadows.
After the first day of work, Weng Meiling thought that Tang Zhenye would wait for her to leave together after finishing work, but Tang Zhenye didn't wait for her at all and left by herself.
Weng Meiling was heartbroken.
On May 11, Zou Shilong knew that Weng Meiling was in a bad mood and invited her to go to Macau to play.
On May 12, Weng Meiling, who had just returned from Macau, was blocked in the port by reporters, and Yu Ji held a newspaper with Tang Zhenye, Wu Junru, Miao Qiaowei and Qi Meizhen going to sea together**, and asked Weng Meiling what she thought.
Weng Meiling forced the taste in her heart, and only said lightly: It's nothing.
On the afternoon of the 12th, Weng Meiling and Tang Zhenye broke out in the dressing room of TV City, and the quarrel mentioned at the beginning broke out.
After contacting Tang Zhenye in the evening to no avail, Weng Meiling called her friend Zou Shilong a **.
*The content is nothing special, but Zou Shilong vaguely feels that Weng Meiling is not in the right state.
Early the next morning, he drove to Weng Meiling's residence to visit, but found that the door of Weng Meiling's house was locked.
Zou Shilong felt more and more that something was wrong, and climbed onto the balcony and climbed into Weng Meiling's house, but it was too late.
In the smell of gas in the room, Weng Meiling, who was full of alcohol, fainted on the sofa in the living room ......
On the calendar book on the living room table, there is Weng Meiling's last sentence to the world - "Darling, I love you".
On May 18, 985, Weng Meiling's funeral was held at the World Funeral Home in Hung Hom, Hong Kong.
Tang Zhenye, who was haggard and bearded, was scolded by the public, holding 11 red roses in his hand, implying a lifetime.
He took out one of the roses and pinned them to Weng Meiling's ear, broke a wooden comb in half, combed her hair and buried her with Weng Meiling, and put the comb tail in her pocket.
This is the custom of his hometown to marry and say goodbye to husband and wife.
In 2015, Tang Zhenye took the opportunity of a mainland reality show and his wife, who was 26 years younger, to put on the costume of "The Legend of Wu Meiniang" and held a grand wedding to commemorate their ten-year love.
In order to show his true feelings, he even invited his best friends Miao Qiaowei and Huang Rihua.
The three most important men in Weng Meiling's life, her father, her first love, and her undying lover, pushed her life to ruin like a relay.
forced her to be sensitive and strong, prompting her to be paranoid about loyal and happy love.
One thing after another accelerated the burning of Weng Meiling's life, and these three men all invisibly added a fierce fire to her burning life.
Do you still have this former "pretty Huang Rong" in your memory?
