In the vast river of movies, two films with ethnic minority themes shine brightly, and they also give birth to two fascinating "Jade Girl" stars, they are Yang Likun and Huang Wanqiu.
In 1959, Changying Studio presented a first-class love story film "Five Golden Flowers", starring Yang Likun, a rising star of the Yunnan Song and Dance Troupe who was only 17 years old at the time. With her spring-like acting skills, she vividly interprets the innocence and tenacity of the Bai girl Jinhua. In the film, the encounter between Ah Peng and Jinhua on March Street in Dali is like a spring breeze blowing through Erhai Lake, causing layers of ripples. After twists and turns, Ah Peng traveled all over Cangshan and Erhai Lake to find golden flowers, and the two sincere hearts finally stayed together in the beautiful Yunnan. Yang Likun won the Silver Eagle Award for Best Actress in one fell swoop for this film, and since then she has embarked on a brilliant acting career and has become a goddess in the hearts of countless audiences.
Only two years later, in 1961, Changying Studio once again put the Guangxi Zhuang folk legend "Liu Sanjie" on the big screen. And this time, Huang Wanqiu, an actor from the Guangxi Song and Dance Troupe, who was only 17 years old, was selected as the heroine of the film "Liu Sanjie". She vividly showed Liu Sanjie's intelligence, beauty and tenacity. In the film, the plot of Liu Sanjie using mountain songs to defend her dignity and fight against the bully rich man Mo Huairen is exciting. After the movie was released, it not only caused a sensation in China, but also gained the hearts of countless foreign audiences overseas. In particular, the classic episode of Liu Sanjie's fighting song has been sung repeatedly by people, and the names of Huang Wanqiu and Liu Sanjie are also closely linked, becoming an indelible memory in the hearts of generations of audiences.
Yang Likun and Huang Wanqiu, one like the camellia of Yunnan, the other like the hibiscus of Guangxi, fragrant and fragrant, outstanding. Whether it is Ashima in "Ashima" or Liu Sanjie in "Liu Sanjie", her pretty appearance and beautiful singing and dancing will always reside in the hearts of the audience.
