A legendary figure in the history of Chinese cinema, Gong Xue was called "the first beauty in the mainland" alongside Zhu Lin in the 80s.
Zhu Lin in the north, Gong Xue in the south" This sentence is widely spread.
is known for her wonderful performance "Under the Bridge", and in 1984, she won the title of "Double Actress" at the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress and the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress, and has been famous ever since.
However, just when her career was booming, a rumor about the "hooligan case" brought her brilliant career to an abrupt end, and she chose to go to the United States in desperation.
What is Gong Xue's current condition, 38 years have passed? What about the "hooligan case" back then?
In the 1986 version of "Journey to the West", Zhu Lin was known as one of the most beautiful classical women because of her outstanding performance in the role of the king of the daughter country, but there was also a character as famous as Zhu Lin at that time, that is, Gong Xue, the protagonist of this article.
Born in Shanghai in 1953, Gong Xue was born in Shanghai in 1953 to a painter father and a photographer mother, both of whom loved film, and Shanghai was the center of China's film and television industry at the time.
Therefore, during Gong Xue's childhood, film and painting became almost an integral part of her daily life.
Under the influence of her parents, Gong Xue has shown her love for film and television and acting talent since she was a child.
I heard that when Gong Xue was in elementary school, she participated in the performance activities of the Children's Palace many times, and she performed very well.
Gong Xue has been recognized as a beauty since she was a child, and acting is an industry that attaches great importance to appearance.
Needless to say, if a handsome guy and an ugly man are allowed to participate in the actor audition, needless to say, the probability that the handsome guy will be admitted is as high as nine out of nine. As for the ugly man, there really isn't much of a chance.
Of course, if you are an absolutely powerful actor like Huang Bo, you can also get rid of the limitation of appearance, right?
Gong Xue's acting career was not smooth, but this was not because of her lack of personal strength, but because of the complexity of the times.
At that time, China was actively promoting the participation of urban intellectual youth in activities to go to the countryside, and Gong Xue was one of them.
After graduating from middle school, Gong Xue, like many of her classmates, responded to the call to work in rural Jiangxi.
Gong Xue was accustomed to life in the big city, but soon after arriving in the countryside, she began to feel overwhelmed, and the heavy farm work and desert-like cultural environment made her more and more eager to escape the countryside and return to the city.
However, this is not a simple matter, fortunately Gong Xue learned from a friend that the People's Liberation Army will regularly go to the countryside to recruit literary and artistic soldiers, maybe this will be an opportunity.
With this belief in mind, Gong Xue began to desperately use all her free time to practice dance, and she longed to get rid of the hard work in the countryside.
However, the countryside is not the city, and there is a lack of professional dance venues for Gong Xue to practice, so she can only train in the fields.
Gong Xue does not have a professional dance teacher around her, and the dirt roads in the countryside are uneven, which is not suitable for practicing dance. As a result, she was in a hurry and sprained her right foot without paying attention.
However, the situation has not yet gotten the worst. At that time, there was a shortage of medical care in the countryside, and despite the state-sponsored barefoot doctors, they could only deal with minor problems such as colds and fevers. For serious diseases such as severe fractures, sorry, they really can't cope with it and lack the corresponding ability.
Gong Xue's wound was bandaged in time**, but it did not get better for a long time, but showed a trend of getting worse and worse. Therefore.
Fortunately, Gong Xue's injuries became more serious, so she was sent back to Shanghai to receive **, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
The medical conditions in Shanghai are really good, and Gong Xue recovered from her injuries quickly under the careful care of the doctors.
When Gong Xue returned to the countryside, it happened that the People's Liberation Army was looking for literary and artistic soldiers.
With her excellent acting skills, Gong Xue successfully passed the assessment, left the countryside, joined the army, and started her acting career.
Although Gong Xue is excellent in all aspects, there are many talented people in this world, but unfortunately most of them can only be unknown because they don't get the opportunity.
Gong Xue almost became one of those unknown people.
As soon as she enters the army as a literary soldier, Gong Xue may only be able to participate in some group roles at first, but judging from Gong Xue's conditions, as long as she is willing to work hard, she should be able to gradually be promoted from a dragon set to a supporting role, and then a supporting role becomes the protagonist.
Surprisingly, Gong Xue's first five years in the army have been limited to playing some less important roles.
After five years of waiting, Gong Xue finally ushered in her opportunity, and when the movie "Sacrifice Red" was a big success, the heroine also became famous in one fell swoop.
The deeds after that speak for themselves, Gong Xue made a name for herself, and then flourished in her career, participating in many films, the most outstanding of which was "Under the Bridge" in 1984.
Gong Xue plays an unmarried pregnant mother in this movie, and she won the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress in one fell swoop for this role!
At that time, Gong Xue could definitely be called the national goddess, but unfortunately, her love experience was not very smooth.
Gong Xue was not famous when she was in the army, but there were people around her who pursued her. However, whether it was because he was busy with his career, had no time to fall in love, or because his self-esteem was too strong to look down on them, in short, he was not able to get married and have children until he became famous.
It wasn't until later that Gong Xue, like many actors of the same period, was eager to go to the United States for development, and finally met Zhang Xun in the United States.
The two hit it off at first sight and soon developed a close relationship.
Although Gong Xue had to return to China to continue filming due to career reasons, this did not lead to the end of the relationship between the two.
However, to his surprise, although his love has withstood the test, at the same time, his career has quietly come to an end. What's going on here?
Just when Gong Xue was enjoying the double harvest of love and career, an accident had quietly befallen her.
Do you remember the term hooliganism?
In the 80s of the 20th century, China was in the stage of building and perfecting the social and economic market system, so there was some turmoil in society, and there were gangsters in many places.
Faced with this social situation, it was natural to take action, so a severe crackdown began!
With the country's severe crackdown and a large number of people who have long been unable to be called socialist ** and their children have been investigated and punished, the experiences of female stars who have been subjected to them have also begun to be exposed by social **.
This society is really unfair, obviously the women in those ** cases have been wronged, but once the incident**, the victims will be blamed and criticized, causing them to choose to swallow their anger.
So what's involved with Gong Xue?
Because in a hooligan trial in 1986, three ** children were executed for assaulting 51 women, which may involve Gong Xue.
Although the identity information of the victims was not released before and after the execution of the three criminals, somehow** reported that Gong Xue was also one of them, which made the society at that time extremely depressed Gong Xue.
Even though Gong Xue has come out to clarify many times, saying that she has not become a victim, the act of spreading rumors cannot be eliminated by clarification alone. People often like to see what they want to see without necessarily choosing to believe the truth.
Gong Xue is really sad at the moment to the point where she can't express it in words.
In those days, people attached great importance to kindness to star actors, and unlike today, the more scandals there are about star actors these days, the more they become well-known!
After Gong Xue was involved in the ** incident, the audience who once liked her was generally disgusted, and even the directors had reservations about cooperating with her.
They are also afraid that they will ruin their future by losing a bad reputation, so they are unable to make changes.
Gong Xue saw that her career was about to be ruined, and her mood can be imagined.
Gong Xue felt even more painful that all kinds of rumors and rumors made her depressed, and as a once popular female star, she suddenly became the object of everyone's discussion.
When you are attacked by society, even if you are really innocent, it will be in vain, so don't expect the saying that those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid.
The only consolation that Gong Xue felt was that her boyfriend did not doubt her innocence after hearing those gossips. However, at that time, he happened to be working in the United States and could not return to China, so he had to persuade Gong Xue not to come to the United States to start over.
Gong Xue really didn't want to leave, after all, she had worked hard for so many years to win her current fame and status. It's too hard for her to give up, but what's the way to stay?
The power of society is quite terrifying, and it can be said to be an invisible killing force.
Gong Xue finally made a decision, she realized that she could not find opportunities for development in China, so she decided to go to the United States to find a boyfriend.
When she first came to the United States, Gong Xue's life was not very comfortable. This is because not only does she not know English, but she is also not used to the local way of life, which makes it difficult for her to integrate into the local life.
Fortunately, her boyfriend taught her reliably and patiently, and he not only took Gong Xue to participate in social activities, but also tutored her to learn foreign languages, which made Gong Xue gradually adapt to life in the United States.
They ended their transoceanic international romance in 1986 and received their marriage certificate.
With the birth of her daughter and the possible influence of stimulation, Gong Xue no longer cared about acting after marriage, and chose to stay at home and become a virtuous wife and mother, concentrating on taking care of her daughter and husband.
However, for someone like Gong Xue, who has long been accustomed to being in the limelight, how can he be willing to be a housewife for the rest of his life?
When her daughter grew up, Gong Xue felt more and more bored in life, so she found a job as a host to pass the time.
After 2006, due to the company's arrangement, Zhang Xun decided to return to China for development, and Gong Xue returned to China after a long time.
20 years have passed in a hurry, and Gong Xue has returned to her old place, full of emotion, things are wrong.
20 years later, almost no one remembers the gossip of Gong Xue that was once spread, and even those young people have long forgotten this once gorgeous actress.
After learning the news of Gong Xue's return to China, the former old partners seemed to be a little overwhelmed, and asked Gong Xue if she was considering rejoining her old business?
After experiencing so many things, Gong Xue has long lost the spirit of the past, so most of them chose to politely decline the invitation of their former friends.
She just wants to live an ordinary life, and she really doesn't want to be noticed by the society anymore.
Therefore, in the years since Gong Xue returned to China, except for starring in "8090 Rushing Forward" in 2010, she really can't bear to lose face, and she has never participated in any film and television works.
Regarding variety shows in the entertainment industry, when she returned to China, Gong Xue may have been out of novelty, or wanted to see what other old friends had participated in, but then she disappeared directly.
Probably due to the shadow at that time, after all, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of the well rope, this is not a joke.
We also have to sigh at the point of view expressed by Guo Degang: "Most of the money that actors make is at the cost of being blamed!" ”
When Guo Degang entered Beijing, how many cold eyes and ridicule did he face again? Even if he became famous later, the various doubts surrounding him never stopped, right?
Uncle Guo is optimistic, he doesn't care about what others scold, and only focuses on doing his own cross talk, so Deyun Club has today's fame.
* A disturbing force indeed. It can bring huge attention and fame to some people, but once it gets out of control or is manipulated, the consequences can be very dire!
Therefore, I urge you once again, even if you do not find out the truth of the matter yourself, at least until the truth is revealed, to remain rational and restrained. If you see unconfirmed news online, don't be gullible.
Know it: a kind word can warm up three winters, while a bad word can make June cold.
I wish Gong Xue a peaceful and peaceful time with her family for the rest of her life.
