This beautiful woman who witnessed the growth of China's films, her life is as legendary as a movie, which makes the world miss her.

She has made great contributions to the development of China films, and is an example and model for all filmmakers.

She has amazing talent and high value, but she doesn't take it for granted. She is tireless in her acting career, and her wisdom is more outstanding than her beauty.

This sentence in The Book of Songs is most appropriate for Xia Meng.

The beauty of Xia Meng is well known. Her amazing beauty makes her a muse of countless literati and has the reputation of "God's masterpiece".

Over the years, there have been many rumors that she is the prototype of the little dragon girl shaped by Jin Yong. There are even rumors that the famous director Cenfan will never marry her.

Such a beautiful woman, dignified all her life, has never had an affair, and is gifted. I have to sigh: "This woman should only be in the sky."

Xia Meng 1933 was born in a family of Peking Opera, formerly known as Yang Meng. Both parents like China's traditional dramas. They have been nurtured by their families since childhood and love performing arts.

At the age of 5, he participated in the "Shanghai Children's Photography Competition" held by China Daily and won the championship.

The girlhood not only has a good family background and outstanding looks, but also is fortunate to grow up under the influence of good education.

She studied in Shanghai's prestigious Chinese and Western Girls' Middle School, so she trained three sisters of the Song family in a famous school where Chinese and Western cultures blended mainly. Here, Xia Meng read Shakespeare's masterpieces, which later blended into her temperament.

She writes well, and her literary talent is even more remarkable. He is also keen on theatrical performances, especially on Shakespeare's works, and participated in stage plays such as Joan of Arc during his school days.

/kloc-At the age of 0/7, Xia Meng has grown into a famous beauty. 170cm, tall and handsome, with extraordinary temperament, fully meets the good conditions for becoming a first-line star.

Xia Meng is a typical Jiangnan beauty, full of poetry and painting. Since childhood, his eyes are bright and his teeth are white, just like his stage name.

At that time, director Yang Anyuan wanted to make a film, and his daughter Mao Mei happened to be classmates with Xia Meng, so she was recommended to Great Wall Company. Yang Anyuan also gave her a stage name Xia Meng based on the inspiration of A Midsummer Night's Dream.

195 1 year, the fledgling Xia Meng was used by director Pingqian Li and starred in his screen debut "Forbidden Marriage" with Han Fei. The film became an instant hit after its release and was very popular with fans.

Later, recalling the performance at that time, Xia Meng once said that he had never studied acting and would not be nervous. Everyone felt natural. At this point, Xia Meng talked about the standard of a good actor, and talent is still the first factor she values.

After that, Xia Meng appeared in many works, and the films "Evil Sea Flower", "Metropolitan Symphony" and "Sisters" were all great successes.

With her elegant bearing and unconventional performances, she has become a pillar of Hong Kong's left-wing films. She, Chen Sisi and Shi Hui are also called "the third princess of the Great Wall", which is a veritable "big princess".

Xia Meng, who is in her early twenties, is already very popular in the Hong Kong film industry. Advertisers poured in, and their fame spread all over the mainland and went out of the national border.

People say that "the United States has Marilyn Monroe and Hongkong has Xia Meng". Her pair of Feng Dan combines the charm of China's classical beauty with fashionable makeup, becoming the embodiment of oriental beauty.

In 1950s and 1960s, Xia Meng appeared in more than 30 works of 17.

Among them, she created many impressive characters, whether elegant and dignified ladies, pure and lovely house girls, or sad young women who have gone through hardships, all of them are vivid.

After 1956, Xia Meng entered the Phoenix Film Company and starred in films such as Golden Branches and Jade Leaves, Same Fate, The Tiger King Snatches His Parents, The Newly Widowed, and Xia Meng's favorite work belongs to the newly widowed.

She is competent in costume, modernity, opera and film, and is a rare all-round actress in Mandarin films.

She not only has peerless beauty, but also is a self-disciplined and intelligent actress who loves the film industry very much. As a standard actress with excellent acting skills and personality, she leads an honest and clean life and gives herself three chapters:

Xia Meng talked about the secret of good acting. She said she didn't like to make too many preparations in advance, because it would be rigid.

She won't try too many scenes on the set. As long as it is related to herself, she will quietly observe the performance of other actors. What she appreciates most in her performance is "natural expression".

Xia Meng said:

She is undoubtedly an extremely clever woman. At the most brilliant time of her career, Xia Meng chose to retire from the screen, but let people remember her young and beautiful figure forever.

1966 after starring in "Winter jasmine", he announced his retirement, bid farewell to Hong Kong the next year, moved to Canada with his husband, and retired for many years.

Just when people thought that she had completely left the stage, Xia Meng came back, but she was not acting, but went backstage from the stage.

1980, Xia Meng and his friends founded the Jade Bird Film Company in Hong Kong, and successively produced three films: Going to the Angry Sea, Past Smoke, and Legend of Heroes Since Ancient Times, each of which became an instant hit.

Among them, Xu Anhua directed "Go to the Furious Sea", starring Andy Lau and George Lam. After the film was released in 1982, it won many honors such as best film, director, screenwriter and production designer in the second Hong Kong Film Awards.

Time flies won the Best Film and Best Director Awards at the 4th Hong Kong Film Awards.

Andy Lau thanked Xia Meng for giving him the opportunity to make a film, and he responded with emotion:

Film critic Ishikawa once said of her:

Xia Meng once had an affair with Cenfan, the director of Yue Opera Dream of Red Mansions.

At that time, the two were in their prime and young. In the same company, they often contact and love each other, but no one has said anything.

Later, CenFan prepared to return to China to devote himself to the film industry in New China. He told her that I was going home. She said without thinking, I'll go back if you go back.

Unfortunately, fate makes man.

Because of passing the ball and some "missed" mistakes, Fan Cen finally failed to go on with Xia Meng, and they separated halfway.

I have always loved it, but there is no reason to be shallow. This is the most bitter thing about love in the world. Love is not allowed and there is no fate.

For Xia Meng, CenFan has never been married. Since then, his world, once the sea is difficult for water, will always be amber.

Things just passed, but fortunately, Xia Meng didn't survive. Otherwise, ten years of turmoil, with his background, who can protect her?

In an interview in his later years, he said of Xia Meng:

Lin Baocheng and Xia Meng met by chance.

At that time, Xia Meng was filming Sisters, and Lin Baocheng, a young businessman, happened to go to the scene to watch Xia Meng shoot. It happened that the film lacked an actor who played the teacher. He volunteered to make a guest performance, so he met Xia Meng.

In fact, Lin Baocheng has always liked Xia Meng on the screen. The crew was really flattered when they saw him. When they met, Xia Meng was not a big star at all, and he was polite to everyone, which left a deep memory for Lin Baocheng.

It was this encounter that led to the beautiful marriage between Xia Meng and Lin Baocheng, and they entered the marriage hall hand in hand.

What's rare is that even though Xia Meng is in the entertainment circle where gossip is flying all over the place, she is still out of the mud but not stained.

Most people know Xia Meng, mostly because Jin Yong, the master of martial arts novels, has made no secret of his infatuation with her, which is also the most talked about.

Jin Yong once said of her:

In that case, Xia Meng must have a beautiful appearance.

It is well known that Jin Yong has a unrequited love for Xia Meng. In order to get close to Xia Meng, he joined the Great Wall Film Company as a screenwriter under the pseudonym of Lin Huan. And made a historical film for her, "Beautiful Women", and Xia Meng was also worthy of the title of beautiful women. This film later became Xia Meng's masterpiece.

He joked himself:

This is the only time in Jin Yong's life that he wrote a script for the purpose of "approaching Fang Ze", although he failed to win the heart of the goddess in the end.

Some critics say that Huang Rong in Legend of the Condor Heroes, the girl in Legend of the Condor Heroes and Wang Yuyan in Tianbu all have the shadow or temperament of Xia Meng.

Xia Meng for two people to cooperate with the "Tiger King Grab the Bride", also simply said 1:

However, Xia Meng is not interested in the movie The Tiger King Snatches the Kiss at all. "I don't like this movie at all, but the audience likes it. I don't think it is enough. "

It is really intentional, and the water is ruthless. Jin Yong said this:

Xia Meng immigrated to Canada, and Jin Yong published news about her in Ming Pao for more than ten days. It can be seen that Xia Meng's position in Jin Yong's mind is unparalleled.

Xia Meng was interviewed by Shanghai TV in his later years and asked about Jin Yongshi. Xia Meng said:

If you love each other, don't forget each other. Having plenty of money and not disturbing each other may be the best ending.

After washing away all the lead, Xia Meng is still charming in his later years.

At this time, Xia Meng is still beautiful, elegant and calm in middle age. It seems that time just gave her more charm and made her rich as a dream.

As a representative of outstanding filmmakers in Hong Kong, he was cordially received by the Prime Minister.

At the age of 82, she said this when she participated in her "65th anniversary of filming" series in Shanghai.

Also, if she hadn't succeeded by luck, I'm afraid not many people would miss her amazing.

Beauty is unlucky since ancient times, and Xia Meng is a godsend, with all kinds of talents and virtues. She is not an ordinary vase beauty, she is a goddess of peerless elegance.

Women have a good early background, a successful middle-aged career and a happy and harmonious family in their later years. I have no regrets in this life.

The great director Li Hanxiang said:

Time flies, with a flick of a finger.

The first anniversary of Xia Meng's death, her extraordinary temperament and amazing beauty of time are always fixed in the image and engraved in our hearts.

Her brilliant achievements in movies will stay in time forever and shine brilliantly.

Xia Meng, you can be satisfied in this life. You won the whole world.

Then, I want to use this article to commemorate this peerless beauty.
